Chapter 58.
Tang Yu exerted force with her hands to lift the backpack and put it on her back. During this time, the man standing behind her even reached out to help lift it.
"Thanks."
After getting off the car, Tang Yu politely thanked the man without even turning her head. She didn't want to say anything more to the man.
After all, people will instinctively be cautious and defensive in such an uncontrollable environment.
But the man seemed very interested in Tang Yu.
"You're welcome, but I have a question I've always wanted to ask you?"
Tang Yu was walking with his bag on his back. Even though he didn't want to talk to this person anymore, after hearing this question, he couldn't help but reply, "What?"
The man asked, "Why are you wearing a scarf in the middle of summer? Aren't you hot?"
Tang Yu paused quietly.
She first looked up at the people walking in front of her, and seeing that they had no reaction to this, she guessed that this problem did not violate the rules and would not attract their attention and cause mutation.
"I'm afraid of the cold." Tang Yu said casually, not caring at all that the sun was shining brightly at the moment. The scorching sun above his head was almost enough to make his skin peel off.
That scarf was a defensive item that she got accidentally. After entering the copy, the item will also follow its owner.
Now the thick scarf was wrapped around Tang Yu's neck, making her cheeks red, but she didn't dare to take it off.
The place where people got off the bus was at the foot of a mountain. After getting off the bus, they were hit by the sun and seemed to be unable to bear the heat. They immediately looked for shade under trees.
Tang Yu also found a shady spot to sit down and pack her things. She was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt in the copy, with sun protection sleeves on her arms and a baseball cap on her head.
Except for a super warm red scarf around her neck, her whole body was equipped with very professional equipment. She even had a lightweight trekking pole to adapt to mountaineering.
Tang Yu deliberately chose a place to sit down away from the crowd, wanting to check the things in his backpack and secretly transfer some less useful things into the space backpack.
Firstly, it can reduce the weight, and secondly, when the team encounters danger and loses supplies, she can still keep some.
However, the man who asked her the question at the beginning was like a dog-skin plaster and actually sat here, making it impossible for Tang Yu to put the things into the space.
Now, she had to turn around and look at the man sitting next to her.
Seeing this, Tang Yu was stunned. She couldn't help but ask, "Have we met somewhere before?"
The man was wearing a black sports suit and a baseball cap of the same color. His hair stuck out from under the brim of the hat, with one corner tilted up mischievously.
I don’t know if this person seldom goes out or is influenced by some strange power, but his skin color appears quite fair, even a little sickly.
If it weren't for the faint muscle lines showing under the fabric of his clothes, Tang Yu would have suspected that this man was a sickly person.
The reason why Tang Yu asked that question was because the man was wearing sunglasses on his face.
Many hikers also choose to wear sunglasses when they go out. This is a normal and unsurprising thing to do, but Tang Yu somehow felt that this person exuded a sense of familiarity.
After hearing Tang Yu's question, the man raised his tightly pursed thin lips and said, "You make me feel like you are trying to flirt with me, and this way of doing things is very outdated."
Tang Yu was silent for a moment, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with her question, so she explained seriously, "It's just because you look a bit like someone I know."
Strictly speaking, it is not a person.
The man seemed a little interested. He smiled meaningfully and asked, "Oh? You seem to be very impressed by that person."
Tang Yu nodded honestly. He exploded in front of her and almost killed himself. This was a memory he would never forget.
It was precisely because that man died in front of her that she did not associate the two people together.
"He loves to wear sunglasses, even in his room." Tang Yu wanted to say that he felt the man was a bit pretentious, but he politely held back.
The man pressed on and asked, "What happened next?"
Tang Yu: "Then he died."
man:"......"
Seeing that the man didn't say anything, Tang Yu realized that she might have run out of things to talk about, so she asked, "My name is Tang Yu, what's your name?"
Hearing this, the man turned around and faced her. His baseball cap cast a large shadow covering half of his face, and his sunglasses obscured his eyes, making it difficult to see clearly.
However, Tang Yu knew clearly that it was looking at him, and at that moment, a chill suddenly ran through his heart for no reason.
“Sila, my name is Sila, do you remember?”
Just when Tang Yu thought the man would not speak, it spoke, for some unknown purpose, and even repeated itself.
Tang Yu nodded to indicate that he remembered it.
At this time, a young girl couldn't help but complain: "Why did Ji Wenhan choose this season to go into the mountains? It's so hot. What if he gets a heat stroke?"
The girl muttered, and the boy who followed her immediately put down his backpack, struggled to find a tube of sunscreen in the bulging luggage and handed it to the girl.
The boy opened another bottle of water and comforted her, "Qingqing, the captain also took into consideration that the altitude of the mountain is too high and the temperature difference at night is large. If you don't take good measures to keep warm, it will be very dangerous!"
The team leader is a tall man named Ji Wenhan, who loves mountaineering and adventure. He has challenged many famous hiking routes at home and abroad and is well-known in the hiking circle.
This hiking group action was also initiated by Ji Wenhan. Ji Wenhan did not take the complaint of the girl named Qingqing seriously.
It had a bright smile on its face, and was standing under the shade of the tree as it said to everyone, "Now, let's invite our tour guide, my good friend Zhang Cong, to introduce this trip to everyone."
Tang Yu saw a dark and strong man stand up.
Zhang Cong looked at Ji Wenhan helplessly, and then said: "In fact, we have talked about this trip many times, but before we set off, I still want to remind you."
Zhang Cong pointed to the towering mountain behind him and said, "The route we are going to take this time is a bit far, with an altitude of more than 3,700 meters. We may encounter various dangers on the road. We are all veterans. If an unexpected situation occurs, we must not panic. We must unite as one..."
Zhang Cong kept reminding everyone to be careful and said that if they encountered any problems on the road, they should return at any time. It was fine to explore and seek excitement, but life safety should be put first.
Such words must have been said many times, and the people sitting on the ground are already tired of hearing them.
One of the young men with a crew cut said impatiently, "I know, I know, hurry up, it will be dark if you delay any longer."
Zhang Cong stopped talking, and Ji Wenhan stood up and said with a smile: "We are gathered here today to conquer nature again. Do you have the confidence?"
Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"
"Everyone, let's go!"
Everyone immediately put on their backpacks and headed towards the mountains.
The bus that brought this group of hikers here had already driven back. Tang Yu couldn't help but look back at the road they came from, but he unexpectedly saw Xila's half-pale face.
"Let's go." As if to prevent Tang Yu from falling behind, Xila deliberately stood at the end of the team.
Tang Yu glanced at it, said nothing, turned around and followed the team into the mountains.
......
In the A-level multiplayer dungeon “The Tower”, the tower built of huge stones stands quietly above the endless wasteland.
Above the towering tower, there was an ominous aura lingering, occasionally mixed with the screams of some unknown creatures.
The land outside the giant tower was extremely desolate, with magma flowing wildly everywhere. There was no living creature to be seen, and even the air was distorted due to the extremely high temperature.
There is no inch of land left under the tower. Some terrible force is quietly destroying everything and constantly shrinking the size of the giant tower.
The base of the tall tower had also been destroyed, forming a circle of dark void space under the base.
However, what is strange is that the tower remains motionless without any tilt, as if it is floating in the air!
The floors of the tower are connected by spiral staircases. Standing on the stairs, one can clearly see the nothingness that annihilates everything.
Qiu Linfei was looking at the nothingness at this moment, but he didn't dare to look at it for too long.
That thing is like a black hole, it can absorb everything, including sound, light, and even time and space.
As the president of the Xuefeng Guild and a top expert in the middle realm, Qiu Linfei still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart when facing such nothingness.
Just yesterday, he saw with his own eyes a challenger who entered the copy accidentally fall and unfortunately fell into the dark abyss.
As a result, the powerful man who could call the wind and rain in the middle area was like a drop of water falling into the sea. He did not cause any waves at all and died silently.
Qiu Linfei didn't want to recall that scene. He was already exhausted at this moment.
It has been just seven days since they entered this copy, but for him, these short seven days felt like a year.
Qiu Linfei believed that he was not the only one who thought so, but everyone else felt the same way.
This tower is so terrifying. There are unknown monsters hidden everywhere in it. Those things seem to be from hell. It is impossible to define those monsters with human cognition.
They are powerful, strange, and omnipresent. They live like ghosts in this mysterious tower and hate all intruders equally.
As they climbed higher and higher, the monsters' attacks became more powerful. Just now, they had just experienced a fierce battle.
Although they succeeded in killing the monster in the end, those who participated in it did not feel good either.
Originally, everyone was going in in two groups, but because of these damn monsters, they were forced to unite together.
Qiu Linfei had a premonition that the monsters behind would become increasingly difficult to deal with.
What is even more despairing is that ever since they entered the tower, it seems as if a shadow has shrouded everyone's heart, constantly releasing negative emotions.
The tower is exerting a spiritual influence on everyone.
Qiu Linfei felt that he was in a very bad mood at the moment, and a kind of inexplicable sadness was accumulating.
Just like a swimming pool that was storing water, his "pool" was about to be filled up, and a feeling of despair and powerlessness began to emerge. It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
Qiu Linfei suddenly thought that perhaps the person who fell down the stairs yesterday did not do it accidentally, but could not withstand this invisible mental erosion, which led to an emotional breakdown and he voluntarily gave up his life.
At this time they had just climbed to the thirteenth floor, and there was a spiral staircase above their heads that stretched infinitely upwards, as if they would never reach the end.
Compared to the current situation, perhaps falling directly from here is also a good choice.
The moment this thought emerged in Qiu Linfei's mind, it was like a seed taking root and sprouting, and with the help of the despair and helplessness in people's hearts, it began to grow wildly.
Qiu Linfei's hands slowly climbed up the handrail of the stairs, and his body gradually leaned forward. His eyes began to stare uncontrollably into the abyss.
Most of his body was leaning out of the handrail, and when he was about to fall in mid-air, a hand pulled him back.
It was An Xiashan from the Zhengliang League. At this moment, An Xiashan looked miserable, with a hideous wound on his face.
He held onto Qiu Linfei tightly and refused to let go, saying with lingering fear: "Old Qiu, you, what are you doing! What are you doing?"
Qiu Linfei was pulled back and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He said in a daze: "I, I'm on guard. What's wrong?"
"You were standing guard... You almost killed yourself standing guard!" An Xiashan was a little emotional, and for a moment he spoke with an accent, "If I hadn't been quick, you would be gone!"
Qiu Linfei came back to his senses instantly after being yelled at by An Xiashan. He couldn't help but shudder and moved quickly to An Xiashan's side, making strange noises out of fear.
"Shut up, you're so noisy! If you attract those weird things over here, you'll die even faster!" Darika, who was leaning against the corner, said impatiently.
Different from the high-spirited look when he first entered the dungeon, Darika now looked exhausted.
Having just been through a great battle, she was already somewhat exhausted physically. Add to that the constant mental erosion from the tower and she felt like she was going crazy.
Now, if she just raised her head, she could see the staircase extending infinitely upwards, but she simply didn't have the courage to take another look.
The staircase was infinitely long, and the tower was hopelessly high.
They can't get out of the tower!
It's all that damn Wilder's fault!
As if he had heard Darika's complaints, Wilder walked down the stairs.
He walked down step by step, holding on to the ancient stone handrail, with an elegant posture and a relaxed expression, like a noble lord walking down from his own study.
"How about it, have you thought about it today?"
