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

After that, the two went about their own business.

After taking the medicinal wine, Lin Yuwei quickly entered the state of mind.

She sat cross-legged on the edge of the waterbed, her back straight, her hands resting on her knees.

A dark red aroma of alcohol slowly emanated from her skin, and her entire being seemed to be enveloped in a layer of warm water, rising slowly and steadily upwards.

Su Mu didn't disturb her and focused his attention on the communication channel.

On the public channel of the 886 cable, messages were scrolling faster than during the day.

"The monsters have reappeared down below us. Remember that barrage of projectiles last night? My cable car's durability dropped by almost 20%."

"Anyone want to stay here? I'm using a level 3 cable car, and my durability is about to give out. Is there anyone willing to take me in? My combat strength is decent, I can fight."

"Training at a time like this? Can't you fix the cable car if it's broken?"

"We don't have enough repair materials, so I've been working on it all day. If it gets smashed twice more, it'll be gone."

"If all else fails, just run faster, even if it takes up more gas, you might not be able to hitch a ride on the cable car."

"Are you sure? I ran ahead last night after hearing this, and I still got beaten up. These guys were just randomly attacking me, wasting my fuel."

The channel was filled with anxiety.

After a while, the topic shifted to the challenge order.

"Honestly, did we start the challenge too early? The people from Japan killed quite a few of ours during the day, and they even blocked our teleportation point. Now it's dark, and we can't contact anyone to see if they're alive or dead."

"Our core team is still leveling up over there, but the monster density is high and it's very dangerous. I heard they're stuck in some forest and haven't been able to get out before tonight."

"Wouldn't that be the end of us? You all know that spending the night outside is suicide. Especially now with the gray fog and more and more ghosts."

"I also think it's difficult. Those people from Japan are too cunning. They've abandoned their own homes and come all the way here to kill people. Our core team is tied up, while their own people are organizing a counterattack."

"Don't boost their morale. They don't have the advantage on all sides either. In terms of casualties during the day, our core team killed more people than them."

"But the overall level of the Sakura Kingdom is higher than ours, how can we deny that? That guy named Ishikawa Yu, level nine, I heard he's already killed dozens of our people at the teleportation point."

"If no one on our side deals with him, more people will die tomorrow."

Upon seeing this, Su Mu's gaze lingered on the three characters "Ishikawa Yu".

He just killed that man.

The people in the channel don't know yet.

He switched to the public channel of the Sakura National Cableway.

The art style is completely different.

"The Great Xia people must be in chaos by now, right? Look at all the pessimistic stuff they're spouting in their chat, it's hilarious. They think they can turn the tide just by issuing a challenge order, they don't even know their own limitations."

"They thought we were deserted, so they sent their core team to steal from us. But what happened? As soon as our defenders organized, they were trapped in the woods and couldn't get out."

"I even got a picture of their team. Look, I recognize the leaders. Is this their core? Their equipment is a mess, and their formation is scattered. I really don't know where they got the guts."

Below the picture was a blurry photo. It was taken from a distance, but Su Mu still recognized a few figures... Zhou Zhenguo, Han Lei, Zhao Hongyuan, and two other association presidents whose names he couldn't recall. They were with their men, resting on a high point near the edge of a forest, seemingly on guard against something.

Su Mu frowned slightly.

Have the people from Japan already arrived there?

"Where's Ishikawa Yu? He seems to still be in Daxia." Someone asked.

"Ishikawa-kun is enough over there. He's worth an entire squad by himself. With the teleportation point blocked by him, the Xia people's casual players can't get back, and the core team can't get down. Tomorrow at dawn, when our defense team pushes forward again, they'll be trapped like turtles in a jar."

"Yes, the most important thing now is that Ishikawa-kun doesn't rush back. As long as he's still there guarding the area, the Great Xia people will forever be a lost cause."

"That's right, Ishikawa-kun is level nine, and with his team, they're more than capable of holding a teleportation point."

"It's fine if he doesn't come back tomorrow. We have Self-Defense Force personnel here, and they are much better organized than the other side."

Su Mu finished scrolling through the channels, his face expressionless.

They are still waiting for Ishikawa Yu.

That level nine guy, Ishikawa Yu, who's worth an entire squad by himself.

He is already dead.

But since these people trusted him so much, he didn't bother saying anything more in the channel. The dead will arrive late, after all.

He then switched to the old cable channel that had been challenged by Sakura during the merger and took a look.

That group had been utterly crushed by Japan before, and their assessment of the outcome was the most pessimistic. At that moment, someone was screenshotting the comments from Japan, and the atmosphere in the channel was extremely tense.

"So it still doesn't work? We lost the same way in the last lane. We could hold on at the beginning, but we got crushed as the game went on."

"Their Self-Defense Force personnel are too well-coordinated; fighting against scattered individuals like us is simply bullying."

"I shouldn't have taken on this challenge. Now, not only have I failed to win, but I've also dragged others down with me."

The US cable company was also watching.

"The Great Xia people have really bitten off more than they can chew this time. Weren't they saying that Su Mu was really strong? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"

"No matter how strong an individual is, they can't change the overall situation. The Japanese have organized military units; how can lone wolves fight them?"

"But the Japanese are really arrogant this time. They used to mock the United States, but now that they have the upper hand, they're even more arrogant."

"Hmph, a bunch of idiots who can't remember their place. If it weren't for our agreements with the major organizations, they wouldn't even have the chance to cause trouble in this area."

Su Mu glanced at it twice, then lost interest.

He was about to turn off the channel when he glanced back at Lin Yuwei.

She had slowly recovered from the effects of the medicinal wine, her face flushed slightly, as if she had just finished a steaming session. She opened her eyes, first looking down at her hands, and then at him.

"Have you been sitting here watching the channel?" she asked.

"Hmm." Su Mu nodded. "Our people are a bit panicked. Meanwhile, those in Japan are celebrating their victory ahead of schedule."

Lin Yuwei frowned: "Their overall level is indeed quite high. The fact that one person reached level nine already shows that this path is not simple. Most of our people are still at level five or six, and even some of the core members of the guilds are only at level six or seven. The gap is too big."

Su Mu did not respond.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Yuwei assumed he was also worried, so she said softly, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The rules of the challenge are very clear: as long as you reach level thirteen first, we'll win. What level are you now?"

As she spoke, she looked at Su Mu.

Just as she finished speaking, a system announcement popped up without warning, covering the panel of everyone on the entire cable.

[Challenge ended.]

[886 Cables wins.]
