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

Although there weren't as many messages on the channel in the early morning as during the day, there were still people talking.

However, compared to yesterday's desperate plea for supplies, the situation today is quite different. More people are calming down and discussing their next steps.

"What if those things attack the cable car again like yesterday?"

"My cable car was already riddled with holes yesterday. If another one hits today, I'm dead. Can anyone help me?"

"How can we help? The cable car is only so big, one person per car, no one can get into anyone else's."

"Yeah, I tried it. We went in hand in hand during landing, but we still came out and went back to our own cars. This stupid system doesn't let you visit each other at all."

Someone dug up the first rule of survival: "No one may enter the cable car without your permission."

"Think about this rule carefully... 'No one can enter without your permission.' Conversely, does that mean that as long as you give permission, others can come in?"

The channel was quiet for a moment, then erupted in chaos.

"Holy crap! That makes sense!"

"I tried! I had my friend try to let me in, but there was no response."

Are you sure your friend gave permission?

"I definitely allowed it. He said 'Come in' in the private chat, but I still couldn't get in. No notification popped up either."

"Perhaps the method is wrong? Just talking about it isn't enough; the system needs a user interface, right?"

Has anyone tried climbing over there?

The question immediately caused a stir in the channel.

"Climb over? The cable car is suspended in mid-air, how are we supposed to climb over?"

"The cable cars are only ten meters apart, and the cables are right there. If someone could climb over the cables..."

"Are you crazy? What if you fall from a hundred meters high?"

"That's better than being smashed to death by a monster in the cable car, right?"

"Yeah! And those empty cable cars... So many people died yesterday and the day before, and now there are only about 800 people left in the channel. At least 200 cable cars are empty! If you climb into an empty cable car, there's no one there. Does that mean you can just go in and stay without anyone's permission?"

This suggestion immediately caught the attention of many.

Indeed, the cable cars carrying the dead hang empty on the cables. If one could climb over them, it would be like gaining a perfectly good shelter for free.

"But how do we climb up? The cable is so high, slippery, and there are no safety measures..."

"Could I tie myself up with a rope and slowly move over?"

"Do you have a rope that long?"

"I don't have any, but I can find a way! Tear the sheets and twist them into a rope, would that be enough?"

The discussion in the channel became increasingly heated, and some people even started to organize "rope climbing teams" to discuss how to cooperate with each other.

Su Mu looked at these messages and nodded slightly.

These people are quick-witted.

Finding a way to survive in dire circumstances is a basic human instinct. Climbing the cable car is dangerous, but it's certainly a viable option compared to waiting to die in a riddled cable car.

He didn't participate in the discussion, but continued scrolling down.

After watching for a while longer, everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction. But upon closer inspection, some things did seem amiss...

"Is someone knocking? I think there's something knocking on my door."

"I heard it too! Just now, a loud thumping sound, it scared me to death."

"You heard that too? I thought I was hallucinating..."

"What's going on? Who's knocking?"

"I don't know, I've stopped here."

"I've stopped here too."

"Could it be something from yesterday? The sound is similar."

"Holy crap, don't scare me! My cable car can't withstand the kind of torment it suffered yesterday."

These messages are scattered throughout the chat history and can easily be overlooked if you don't look closely.

But when you look at them together, it sends chills down your spine.

Su Mu glanced at Zhou Zhenguo's profile picture again... it was still lit up.

He thought for a moment, then sent Chen Jun a message: "Are you there?"

About a minute later, Chen Jun replied: "Boss, what's wrong? What's up?"

Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you were alright."

"I'm fine!" Chen Jun sent a smiley face. "Just finished sharpening a batch of arrows, my hands are blistered. But it's okay, I'm tough, I can handle it!"

Su Mu glanced at the time, then at the transaction request he had received.

[Chen Jun requests a trade: 217 Wooden Arrows]

Su Mu was taken aback.

217 units?

He remembered that just a few hours ago, Chen Jun had made him twenty. Even if he made thirty per hour, he couldn't make more than two hundred in these few hours.

Unless... he hasn't slept at all.

I glanced at the cable car upgrade progress; only a few minutes left. That means it's been about eight hours since they contacted us. If they keep going, at thirty per hour, they can indeed complete over two hundred.

This guy is a total workaholic.

Su Mu clicked "confirm," and 217 wooden arrows appeared neatly in front of him.

他先把小型箭匣填满......箭匣容量100发，瞬间从11/100跳到了100/100。剩下的一百多支，他找了个角落堆好。

"22 portions of food." Su Mu put the food in the trade window. "Take care and rest, don't die from overwork."

"Thanks, boss!" Chen Jun put away the food, full of energy. "I'm fine, I can't sleep anyway. It's so late at night, and the noise outside is creepy, so I might as well do something to distract myself."

Su Mu thought for a moment, then added, "A level one cable car can't carry much. Use the food as needed, don't be stingy."

"Okay! I'll do what the boss says!"

After closing the chat window, Su Mu glanced at the cable car upgrade progress bar.

[Remaining Time: 00:00:59]

But then he suddenly realized something: there were only 11 arrows, but he remembered there were 21 before he went to sleep...

That is, something came near me while I was sleeping.

Su Mu quickly checked and found no kill records.

If it can withstand 10 arrows, damn, it must be a big thing.

He took a deep breath, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it, just staring at the countdown, the numbers ticking away second by second.

29......28......27......

[Ding! Cable car upgrade complete!]
