Chapter 33 Ultimate Summit Climb
People on the 40th floor are more focused on themselves and have no interest in getting to know someone like Rong Yi, who is a stranger.
For Yu Rongyi, this seemed to be a sign of numbness, a loss of curiosity about the outside world.
Inside the tower, the daily battles continued, while those outside had already noticed the unusual situation within.
In the steel-built urban jungle, skyscrapers rise straight into the clouds, and people on the ground who look up at the top of the buildings are blinded by the sunlight.
Inside the building, the polished floor clearly reflects the figures and expressions of everyone; only the elite can enter here.
The transparent elevators move up and down, like blood vessels transporting elites to different floors and parts of the building.
On the top floor of the building, Ke Xingxiu leaned back on an expensive leather sofa, holding a small ball in his fingers. The ball, which he threw at will, would automatically bounce back and return to the palm of this hand that held a great deal of resources and power.
The assistant beside him presented a work report: "All 63 towers in the Jingtian Tower area have experienced the above-mentioned abnormalities. According to the monitoring investigation, each one suddenly appeared from the first floor and was not delivered from the outside. The timing was concentrated on the day when the supplies were distributed on the 6th."
Strange things have been happening in the Jingtian Tower area recently. Up to seven hundred people carrying strange backpacks and spatial folding rings have appeared inside the tower for no apparent reason. Each of them can pull out weapons with plenty of ammunition.
They seem to share a common goal: to reach the higher floors. According to data collected yesterday, nearly half of the more than 400 people who reached the 33rd floor suddenly disappeared, just as suddenly as they appeared.
As for those who haven't disappeared yet and choose to continue climbing, when the assistant saw this information, he couldn't help but wonder how many floors these people would have to reach before they stopped.
Ke Xingxiu pinched the rebounding ball and scratched his straight nose with his index finger. "The upper limit is set at 90 floors. Last time, they reported that they had strange characteristics. So let's use these characteristics to test the latest semi-finished product. When it gets close to 90 floors..." He glanced at his assistant indifferently, "Go all out to kill it."
The assistant nodded immediately, "Understood."
Those who suddenly appeared were not only well-equipped with ammunition, but some of them were also extremely strong, capable of dealing with 30% of the test subjects with their bare hands, which was truly astonishing.
However, most of them have amazing physical strength, and a few have almost magical abilities, such as controlling metal and gathering water droplets.
The people Ke Xingxiu mentioned for the tests were all those with good physiques; as for those with special abilities... the Tower is already making arrests.
After bowing, the assistant left the room, and Ke Xingxiu stayed alone in the room, closing his eyes to rest.
As times have progressed, these aristocratic families have acquired the vast majority of wealth and power, yet they remain unsatisfied.
Throughout history, what have the powerful and influential feared most? Death.
The Jingtian Tower was built when people of their social class were trying to achieve immortality. After many years of painstaking research, they have finally made some progress.
But each family tries to capture one of these people who suddenly appear and possess magical abilities.
The assistant only knew that the aristocratic family was trying to capture them, but the truth is not so easy. Without exception, all those who reached the 33rd floor failed. Only those below the 33rd floor had a chance of success.
Thinking of what his elders had said, Ke Xingxiu's eyes were filled with excitement.
Those people came here with the goal of reaching the 33rd floor. Or rather, in their world, when the captured people were being tried to be taken out of the tower, they disappeared directly after passing the 33rd floor, causing the captured people to be stranded below the 33rd floor.
The tower was originally built to completely prevent the prisoners from escaping. The only exit was on the top floor, and all the others were sealed off, so even they could not enter or leave from the ground floor.
"Beep beep—"
The communicator beeped twice, and Ke Xingxiu tapped the wristwatch-like device. "Speak."
"Xingxiu, I saw something good and sent it to you."
Fang Jun and he had a good relationship. Fang Jun was a young master from a family of similar standing. Recently, he had been focusing all his energy on observing the tower.
After Ke Xingxiu performed the operation, a clear and three-dimensional image appeared before his eyes, which could be viewed with the naked eye without the need for any medium.
In the video, a tall woman dressed entirely in black, wearing a mask, is seen hanging with one arm from the tip of a Tyrannosaurus Rex's tail.
Ke Xingxiu leaned forward, resting his elbows on his legs.
The ensuing battle was a masterpiece of violent aesthetics, and the look in her eyes as she threw the dagger at the end revealed her immense power.
Ke Xingxiu smiled. He was worshipped by the world and not only had a very high status, but also a handsome face.
The person in the video is Rong Yi. At this moment, she is seen reaching into the Tyrannosaurus Rex's eye socket and pulling out the dagger.
"How about it, pretty hot, right? The family said it will take some effort to capture these people in the tower. They need to drill holes in the lower floors to make it easier for them to get in and out, and then transport them to the outside ground for escort. I'm going to Tower 6 to see if I can catch this woman."
To be honest, this was the first time Ke Xingxiu had ever heard Fang Jun use the word "can or cannot" since birth. For them, unless it was the head of the family's right, asking whether or not something could be obtained was unthinkable.
"Go ahead, but be careful with special items. They're not just strong; you might die there."
Fang Jun didn't mind his words at all. "I'm not talking to you anymore. These people are so fast." He hung up the call immediately after saying that.
·
Rong Yi was completely unaware that he was being targeted by powerful figures outside, but he felt a strange pressure that seemed to foreshadow an impending storm.
She didn't stop at all, nor did she care about the creatures released; she just wanted to reach the top floor as quickly as possible, where she would receive a 50-cubic-meter storage bracelet as a reward.
The entire area between floors 40 and 69 is filled with bizarre animals that have been experimented on, causing drastic changes to their bodies and making them extremely violent.
When she reached the 70th floor, the scene before her eyes had completely changed.
The rooms were transparent, filled with cold experimental equipment. Each room had several capsules filled with liquid, and inside the capsules were naked human bodies with breathing tubes on their faces, who appeared to be alive.
Rong Yi wondered what he would encounter on this floor. Could it be that the tower not only imprisoned prisoners but also built laboratories on the upper floors?
But the laboratory should be strictly managed, so how could she have easily opened the door and entered?
Furthermore, the fact that there is nothing else here except for the transparent house suggests that no one lives here.
At this moment, Zhang Shiting, who had been silent all along, suddenly sent a message: [Be careful, people outside the tower are arresting us. The three of us are leaving first. If things look bad, leave immediately.]
Rong Yi didn't find it strange; on the contrary, he thought it was normal: [Thank you, I'll leave depending on the situation.]
Rong Yi knew that the tower was under constant external monitoring; after all, so many experimental subjects had been deployed, and the results needed to be observed.
After the 40th floor, she saw people who had been injected with the enhancer. To put it simply, almost every one of them had undergone changes to varying degrees. Some had swollen tumors growing on half of their faces, while others had twisted spines, which did not affect their movement but resulted in strange postures.
Having lost their normal appearance, the person who received the injection gained strength far exceeding that of an ordinary person, and their recovery ability was more than twice as fast.
