It took two hours to climb from the first floor to the tenth floor.
After reaching the tenth floor, except for Wu Chan, everyone else's physical strength reached the limit. Not only because of the intensive and tense battles, but also the eternal dusk in the old city.
Human beings are nocturnal by nature, and the biological clock causes the body to execute different instructions corresponding to day and night. But the old city is like a closed space with lights always on, which subtly causes humans to lose the ability to sense time. The inner balance of the human body is disrupted, and a feeling of "awkward" fatigue settles like toxins. Once high-intensity fighting continues, the accumulated fatigue will explode, making people lose the desire to act.
It is now four o'clock in the afternoon, so setting up camp early is a good choice.
In a poisonous mountain full of demons, people no longer need fireproof cloth to create a safety barrier that blocks heat energy. Whether the evil spirits come to their door at this time depends on their mood and the luck of Wu Chan and others.
Everyone found a thick tree and sat on the ground under its roots. In fact, the description of tree roots is not accurate, because the so-called thick trees are just branches branching out from the branches.
To reduce the odds of combat, there was no ignition. Everyone ate compressed biscuits with cold water. The speed of climbing the mountain was much slower than Wu Chan expected. At this rate, if you want to climb to the forty-second floor, you will have to set up camp at least three times. Food is not the problem, clean water is. Before going up the mountain, each person prepares two bottles of 500ML purified water. In addition, there is an extra 3L of total water purification and other essentials packed in the luggage bag. The luggage bag was carried by Wu Chan, who had the strongest physical strength.
As soon as Chu Kuang sat down, he drank half a bottle of water in two gulps. Such a bold way of drinking, his own share is only enough to replenish the body with water four times.
Ma Sang realized something was wrong: "You should drink more moderately."
Chu Kuang said: "Don't worry, I feel it's going to rain."
The rain in the old city will only be gray acid rain, which is not corrosive but poisonous to humans. Shen Jin felt that Chu Kuang could not understand the power of gray acid rain, but as a temporary teammate, she still reminded him: "People cannot drink gray acid rain."
Chu Kuang said: "I know. I just want to express that people don't get thirsty so easily on rainy days."
Wu Chan asked: "How did you know it was going to rain?"
Chu Kuang said: "Because the air humidity is getting higher and higher."
Because Chu Kuang used a chainsaw to open the road, the juice from the leaves and vines splashed everywhere, greatly increasing the humidity of the surrounding air. Wu Chan did not expect that under this premise, Chu Kuang could still distinguish the signs of rain in subtle ways.
This sensitive sense of smell is not enhanced by scarlet sin cells. No wonder it is called Chu Dog.
Tu Shuang suddenly sighed.
Ma Sang asked: "What's wrong?"
Tu Shuang said: "It's okay, I just thought of Xiao Song. Boss, why do you think Xiao Song betrayed us?"
Ma Sang said: "That child is too young and has short-sightedness. He has never seen the big world, but he wants to quickly have a high-class life. He is easily incited and obsessed."
Chu Kuang said: "According to me, Xiao Song is too cowardly. If you have the opportunity to make a big fortune, make it quickly. From now on, you will never have to exchange your life for money."
Tu Shuang said: "I don't know if he can leave this old city safely."
Ma Sang said: "I think it's quite embarrassing. The direction he left the city is exactly the direction from which the gravediggers attacked us. It is very likely that the two sides will encounter each other, and the gravediggers will not leave anyone alive."
Chu Kuang said: "I guess they never dreamed that thirty people would attack four people in total silence but we would kill them. Speaking of which, it all depends on Boss Wu. When we return to the new city, you can teach me It’s just two-handed sword skills.”
Wu Chan said: "My sword skills are not suitable for you to learn, but I can recommend a master to you."
Chu Kuang became interested: "Stronger than you?"
Wu Chan said: "In terms of swordsmanship, it should be."
Ma Sang said: "Brother Wu, are you talking about Gong Yingxue, the director of the Gong Family Martial Arts School?"
Chu Kuang said: "This curator's name is really girly."
Ma Sang said: "The curator is a woman."
Wu Chan said: "Brother, do you know the curator of the palace?"
Ma Sang said: "I don't know her, but I have only heard of her name. She is known as the fastest knife in D067 New City in the past 20 years. Not long ago, during the zombie wave, she killed a three-cell-level hammer beast evil monster by herself. You I just said that someone is better than you in swordsmanship, and my first thought was her. By the way, Brother Wu seems to live in the Gong Family Martial Arts School."
The fastest knife
Wu Chan didn't expect Gong Yingxue to have such a reputation, and couldn't help but think of that purple long sword, and why Gong Tiantian practiced with two short axes
He answered Ma Sang: "Her daughter is an employee of my incineration station."
Ma Sang said, "Have you had any discussions with Gong Yingxue?"
Wu Chan said: "No."
Based on Ma Sang's experience, people with higher martial arts skills want to verify their own strength through a competition with another master. He said: "There is no competition. Is Brother Wu worried that beating Gong Yingxue will damage the face of the martial arts hall? "
Wu Chan said: "I just don't think it's necessary."
Ma Sang realized that his words had gone too far, so he stopped talking.
"Yeah!" Chu Kuang yelled.
Tu Shuang said, "Have you been stung by a scorpion?"
Chu Kuang said: "No."
Tu Shuang said: "Then why are you shouting?"
Chu Kuang said: "I suddenly remembered that I really wanted to hear about this Gong Yingxue. She has a nickname called City Wall."
Wu Chan said: "Walls are imposed on people."
Chu Kuang said: "Yes, that's it."
Shen Jin couldn't help but be curious: "What does this nickname mean?"
Chu Kuang said: "Any man who pursues her will be slapped into the wall by her. He is obviously a wife and still so charming."
Shen Jin was more interested and asked: "What does it look like?"
Chu Kuang said: "I haven't seen him before. Ask Boss Wu. He lives in the martial arts hall."
Shen Jin looked at Wu Chan: "How good-looking is the Palace Director?"
Wu Chan said: "If you really want to know, just go to the martial arts school and see for yourself."
Shen Jin remained silent.
Chu Kuang said: "Let me do the math. The director of Gong's Martial Arts School is named Gong, and Gong Yingxue is a woman, so isn't her husband the wife of a married woman?"
Ma Sang said: "Don't talk nonsense. Her husband is Gong Jingsheng, and he gave the position of director to his wife only after he was injured."
Chu Kuang said: "If he is very powerful, why haven't I heard of his reputation?"
Ma Sang said: "That's because your time in D067 New City was too short. Twenty years ago, Gong Jingsheng became a blockbuster, and his reputation was once unmatched. It was only after he was seriously injured seven or eight years ago that his reputation began to fall off a cliff. Although old people no longer want to mention Gong Jingsheng, there are very few disciples in Gong’s martial arts school, but it is still one of the three major martial arts schools in D067 New City, which is enough to prove how powerful Gong Jingsheng was back then.”
Chu Kuang said: "This statement is too superficial. Let me ask more specifically. If I fought Gong Jingsheng seven years ago, what would be my winning rate?"
Ma Sang raised an index finger.
Chu Kuang was unconvinced: "Only a 10% winning rate? I don't believe it."
Ma Sang shook his head.
"No, you don't even have a 10% chance of winning. I mean he can knock you out with just one finger."
Chu Kuang: "!!!"
