The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

She paused for a moment, then opened the panel, her expression shifting from surprise to delight: "I've reached level three!"

Su Mu nodded without saying anything more.

He glanced at his experience bar... Level 5, a little over 130 points, still more than 1,400 points away from Level 6.

The experience given by level 3 monsters was negligible for him, and there were too few level 5 monsters; he hadn't gained much experience after grinding for a long time.

To be honest, Su Mu was somewhat envious of Lin Xiaohe's leveling speed.

It wasn't because of her exceptional talent, but because of her low level; the experience gained from killing low-level monsters was still very useful to her.

But he was different. After reaching level five, the monsters that could provide him with considerable experience needed to be at least level six or higher. Monsters of this level were rare in this area, so he needed to spend more time finding, luring, and killing them.

His slow leveling up wasn't because he wasn't working hard, but because there were too few monsters that matched his level.

However, Su Mu also understood one thing... This city will be the best opportunity for everyone to level up, but also the most dangerous opportunity.

The monsters have a wide range of levels, from level one to ten, so everyone can find monsters suitable for their level. However, the city is also several times more dangerous than the wilderness.

If we don't seize this opportunity to upgrade as quickly as possible, those who haven't kept up will be eliminated even faster once the three-day shutdown ends and the cable car restarts.

"Do you have a professional book?" Su Mu asked.

Lin Xiaohe shook her head.

Su Mu frowned. He did have a few white professional books in his hand, which he had taken from the people of the Salvation Guild.

While white-class professions are better than none, their growth potential is too low, and the attribute bonuses after job advancement are also limited.

He was hesitating whether to give Lin Xiaohe a book when Lin Xiaohe suddenly squatted down, picked up a green-glowing box from next to a recently dead level 3 monster, opened it, and then froze there.

"What's wrong?" Su Mu walked over.

Lin Xiaohe looked up, her expression somewhat dazed: "I...I think I found a professional book."

She handed over the contents of the box. It was a light green skill book with a burning fist drawn on the cover, flames leaping from between the fingers and leaving scorching marks on the cover.

[Job Skill Book - Flame Fist Master (Green)]

[Type: Combat Class]

[Effect: After use, you can change your class to "Fire Fist Master (Green)" and gain fire-attribute fist techniques.]

[Job Change Requirements: Level 3]

[Job Introduction: A fire-based class that wields dual fists, specializing in mid-to-close range combat. Upon job advancement, strength and constitution growth are significantly increased, and the class gains the skills "Flame Fist: Burning" and "Flame Fist: Burst," among others.]

Su Mu glanced at it for a few seconds, then handed the skill book back to Lin Xiaohe. "Not bad luck."

Lin Xiaohe took the skill book, her hands trembling slightly.

She never expected that after grinding monsters for three hours, she would actually get a green job skill book from a level 3 monster. She took a deep breath and chose to learn it.

The skill book transformed into a pale green light and merged into her body. She closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment, then opened them and moved her fingers... faint sparks danced between her fingers.

"How are you feeling?" Su Mu asked.

Lin Xiaohe clenched her fist, her knuckles cracking. "My strength has increased a lot, and so has my physique. The system notified me that I've gained two skills: one is called 'Flame Fist - Burning,' which inflicts fire damage on my fist, continuously burning the target; the other is called 'Flame Fist - Burst,' which is an area-of-effect attack that explodes when it's thrown."

She paused, then added, "The job description says I'm a mid-to-close range combat type, but I'll be fighting mostly in close combat. My flying skills haven't been affected, but my load limit has increased; I can now carry about 60 kilograms of stuff."

Su Mu nodded slightly. Sixty kilograms, plus the attribute bonuses after the job change, gliding a person dozens of meters with him shouldn't be a problem.

"What about the flight distance?" Su Mu asked.

Lin Xiaohe opened the panel and looked at it: "At level one, the gliding distance was about thirty or forty meters. At level two, it increased to fifty or sixty meters. Now at level three, the system shows it as 'medium distance.' I estimate... it should be able to reach about one hundred meters. But the cooldown time is still very long, more than an hour."

One hundred meters. The width of the vine area is about seventy or eighty meters, which is enough. The cooling time is a little over an hour, which is a bit long, but as long as it's successful on the first try, it's fine.

Su Mu pulled a large bundle of things out of his backpack... not ordinary rope, but fire hoses taken from fire hydrants in several buildings.

They spliced ​​several hoses together, tightly binding the joints with wire and tape. The total length was about 120 meters, enough to pull the hose from one building to another.

Su Mu held the water hose in his hand and weighed it in his hand. This thing was much thicker and stronger than an ordinary rope, and it could easily support his weight of over 100 kilograms.

"Let's go," Su Mu said, "Let's see which building is suitable."

Just then, a message notification sound suddenly rang.

Su Mu opened the message and saw that it was sent by Zhou Zhenguo.

The message was quite long, unlike his usual concise style, clearly indicating that he had carefully considered his wording.

"Su Mu, we've made contact with the military mentioned in the leaflets. There are a few things I need to tell you."

First, they seemed to have come specifically for us. It wasn't a coincidence, nor was it incidental; they knew we would come and were waiting for us.

Secondly, based on my observation, they seem to be from this world... not like us who came down from the cable car. Their way of speaking, their habits, and their understanding of this city don't seem like those of outsiders.

Third, we haven't seen any ill will from them so far. Their attitude isn't exactly enthusiastic, but at least they are cooperative.

Fourth, they revealed that they would organize a breakout in two days, heading in the direction of our retreat point. Regardless, I'm going to give it a try.

Su Mu read it very carefully, not missing a single word.

Zhou Zhenguo's next message followed immediately, his tone noticeably more urgent: "Oh, right, there's one more thing. If you're still active over there, whatever you do, don't go south or east. The monsters there are too high-level. Someone from our group took a quick look from afar, and they're all top-tier. Especially the south, where a type of plant-like monster has overrun the entire area, completely sealing it off; you can't even see the roads."

After reading the two messages, Su Mu remained silent for a few seconds before replying, "Your message is a bit late."

The reply came almost instantly: "You wouldn't happen to be in the south, would you?"
