That's amazing survival skills!

Seeing the questioning look in her eyes, Gu Siyu didn't urge her. These were things she needed to know; otherwise, if the other party went in and found out about certain prerequisites, they would just be foolishly following along.

If they were betrayed, the chances of them dying would be too high.

Although she wasn't optimistic about what would happen next, she didn't want to be tricked and killed without knowing why.

"I'll do it."

Li Wen stepped forward, looked at Gu Siyu, stared at her for a while, and then showed an expression of realization, "I remember who you are."

"Ms. Gu Siyu, the vice president of Julang Group, am I correct?"

Gu Siyu nodded, without denying it.

The woman looked enlightened upon hearing this.

"Their levels are all around level 5 right now." Li Wen pointed to his three companions behind him, then pointed to himself, "I'm level 6 now."

"When we got that healing potion, it was level 4. We found it in a treasure chest in a cave. A fiery red lizard that could breathe fire jumped out of it. As for how we killed it, I'm sorry I can't tell you."

"It's alright, it's your secret." Gu Siyu nodded calmly. "We're not the kind of people who pry into things."

"As for our current confidence," Li Wen looked at the woman beside him, "her talent is one of our sources of confidence."

He then took out an axe, its blade was very wide and gave the impression of being extremely sharp.

The surface is covered with brown patterns that extend all the way to the axe handle. The color is eerie, unlike anything that humans could create. It looks more like some kind of ancient pattern is being carved on it.

"The other source of confidence comes from this." Li Wen brandished the axe in his hand.

"What is this?"

Upon seeing the axe, Gu Siyu became somewhat curious.

From all the stations they passed through, including the weapons in the hands of those monsters, everything seemed like mass-produced goods forged from ordinary molds.

This is the first time I've ever seen something with such a strange shape.

Naturally, there was no doubt about the power of that thing.

"One last question," Gu Siyu said, staring intently at the other person, "Why did you come to us?"

"Naturally, it's because you're strong enough. We're also risking our lives to go there. A strong alliance will give us a greater chance of survival." Li Wen said, putting away the strange axe. "Because you were the first people to send a kobold message in chat."

"Okay, we understand." Gu Siyu nodded. "We'll cooperate, but how can we guarantee we'll be on the same team?"

"Just team up."

Li Wen hung up the video call.

Soon, an invitation to join a team appeared on the screen.

Gu Siyu clicked "Agree".

Another interface immediately appeared on the screen, featuring a Level 4 subway train with a unique number above its head.

Clearly, this is the subway that Li Wen and his group are on.

Gu Siyu turned off the voice chat and turned around.

"Oh my god, I was so suffocated!" Han Miao patted his chest. "Those guys are just too amazing! They even managed to draw someone with Zhan Wang's incredible talent. Unlike..."

"oops."

Gu Siyu patted Han Miao on the back of the head, signaling her not to say anything that would be detrimental to unity.

Lin Yuan just smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart.

Judging from all the previous situations, his talent is truly that of a supermodel!

"Their team's overall strength is really strong." Wang Xi frowned. "I believe the individual combat strength of the opposing team is definitely not weak either, after all, they all come from the military, and their basic attributes are higher than those of ordinary people."

If they hadn't used that monster-gathering card in the Eternal Forest, their levels would be far behind theirs now.

"Besides being careful about their strength, I should also pay attention to the axe with the special pattern in its hand. It gives me a sense of danger."

Gu Siyu frowned.

Something that no one else has yet appeared in the other party's hands; everything is currently unknown.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing!

"If there really is a fork in the road tomorrow, just be careful." Lin Yuan spread his hands. "There's no point in thinking about it so much now. We might as well get some rest and conserve our energy."

"You're really carefree," Gu Siyu said, sounding somewhat exasperated.

Even at this point, all he could think about was sleeping.

Lin Yuan shrugged helplessly. "We don't even know the situation at that fork in the road. We only know it's dangerous, so why waste our energy making a so-called meticulous plan?"

There's a saying you've probably heard before.

"Plans can never keep up with changes."

"sleep!"

Lin Yuan lay down on her bed and closed her eyes.

Seeing his carefree attitude, the three women couldn't help but roll their eyes, feeling that this guy was a bit too carefree.

Wang Xi turned her head to look at Gu Siyu, and then glanced at Lin Yuan.

It turns out this guy wants to die even more than Gu Siyu!

[Settlement in progress....]

Today you explored the kobold settlement and destroyed it.

You have upgraded your skill to Ironclad.

You upgraded the condenser.

Overall rating: 20

[Rewards: 10 loaves of bread, 10 liters of water, 1 map fragment, 1 tube of toothpaste]

.....

Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Lin Yuan woke up exceptionally early today. She turned her head to look at the window beside her and found that there was a desert outside, with the wind blowing and sand swirling up everywhere.

"This sand is hitting my face, it really hurts." Lin Yuan touched her cheek as she got out of bed.

These days, the first thing he does is check his reward from last night.

I opened my backpack and found an extra bottle of toothpaste. I couldn't help but grin.

I haven't been brushing my teeth properly these past few days.

Normally, the ground is covered with river water, so we can simply rinse our mouths. If there's no river water, we can just rinse ourselves with the water in the wooden bucket in the toilet.

Although there's no toothbrush, toothpaste makes all the difference!

Since what happened last time, Lin Yuan has made a wooden sign and placed it at the entrance of the toilet, writing the words "Toilet occupied" in large letters with charcoal pencil.

I quickly went to the toilet to wash up, and when I came out, I immediately picked up a loaf of bread and started eating.

These days, I've gotten used to this rough bread, and even without water, it doesn't feel so sore throat.

The three women got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. When they came out, they couldn't help but look at Lin Yuan.

He naturally understood where the toothpaste came from.

zizi.

A faint electrical hum reappeared, followed by the cold, mechanical sound that echoed throughout the carriage.

You are now at a fork in the road, with two paths to choose from.

First, the route is a common one, passing through a steel mill, with a low risk level.

Second, the route is unknown; the steel factory is involved, and the danger level is unknown.

Please choose your route within fifteen minutes.

coming!

The four of them ate bread as they walked towards the front of the car.

Looking through the front window of the car, I saw a vast expanse of yellow sand outside, with no route in sight.

When the mechanical sound was heard, the subway immediately stopped.

The receding yellow sand on both sides stopped.

They had already discussed it last night, but the four of them didn't make a choice immediately and continued eating bread.

Wang Xi casually opened the chat interface and began to browse, her slender white fingers constantly swiping.

I noticed that the vast majority of people chose the standard route, while some were discussing the risks and benefits of the unknown route.

Ding dong.

[Li Wen: We've made our choices, we're just waiting for you.]

Wang Xi switched channels and found a red dot message on the team interface. He clicked on it.

[Teammates have been selected. Do you wish to follow their route?]

"Yes."

The route has been confirmed.

The subway, which had stopped, started moving again and continued forward.

The wind ahead grew even louder, whipping up huge gusts of sand and dust that hurtled towards us.

Faced with the sandstorm that blotted out the sky, all four of them couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Even they were not confident that they could survive such a terrifying and extreme natural disaster.

Fortunately, the subway was not obstructed and traveled smoothly without any bumps.

The only difference is that the view that used to be able to see very far is now completely obscured by sand and dust.

"It seems this sandstorm isn't going to stop anytime soon."

Just as Lin Yuan finished speaking, the panel suddenly updated.

Next stop: Steel factory

[Danger Level: Unknown]

[Distance to arrival: 1:59:59]

[Duration of stay: 48 hours]

[Caution: The steel factory is extremely dangerous. Only teams with sufficient strength are advised to explore it to avoid widespread casualties!]
