Forces of Temptation

    After having a simple conversation, Nan Zhou crossed out one of the alternative action items listed in his mind.

    He thought about it, if they were fighting against NPCs with normal logic and strong physical strength, if they could be persuaded to stay where they were, then they only needed to try to occupy a position slightly ahead of them before the game was over. The higher the altitude, the better.

    Nanzhou took a few steps forward, wanting to ask more detailed questions.

    The fluffy, freshly landed snow sleet made a crisp and eerie cracking sound under his feet.

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    It was like stepping directly on the body of the earth.

    ...But before Nanzhou got two steps closer to the weird mountaineer, Jiang Fang lightly grabbed the back of his neck and carried him back.

    Jiang Fang: "Don't come too close. Just stand here and say."

    Nan Zhou looked at him dissatisfiedly: ...you actually care about me.

    Jiang Fang whispered against his ear: "Explain in advance, if you want to stay here, pretend to join them and hold them back, I will not agree. Because your physical condition is not enough now. Not what you want."

    Nanzhou: “…”

    Nan Zhou: "Okay, I see."

    Despite some reluctance, Nan Zhou quietly crossed out the option Jiang Fang said.

    Lu Bifang didn't know what life-threatening thoughts were spinning in Nan Zhou's head.

    Nanzhou's questioning convinced Lu Bifang that the other party should still be able to communicate.

    He looked around the group of tents that looked like tombs deep in the mountains, and summoned the courage to ask, "Comrade, how many people are in our team?"

    Man: "What does it have to do with you?"

    Men: "…"

    The man said gloomily: "...you guys, do you want to go up the mountain?"

    The man's voice was blown away by the cold wind, and only a few scattered, ethereal and terrifying endings could be heard.

    Lu Bifang could feel the sudden compression and pressing of the surrounding air.

    He didn't want a small problem of his own to cause such a big reaction, so he subconsciously protected the group of people back.

    It doesn't matter.

    Two more people emerged from the tent.

    One of them, Nan Zhou carefully identified it for a while before he dared to confirm that it was a woman.

    She looks the same as the Hammer Man, with an astonishingly thin rib-like appearance, with a semi-cyan flesh skin attached to the skeleton.

    After seeing a few people, she didn't say anything, just supported her upper body with a sharp ice **** with a black tip, slowly leaned out of the tent sleeping bag, and knelt on the ground , looked up at a group of people.

    …She moves like some kind of animal.

    Her eyes are very large, and when she stares at people, she feels very uncomfortable.

    A man came out of another tent.

    The man's stature is like a sturdy black bear, and in terms of shoulder width, it is a full half of Nanzhou.

    He is about two meters tall, his cheekbones are flat and high, and he seems to be of Mongolian descent.

    But he appears to have an injury to his right calf.

    When he stood, his center of gravity was obviously skewed to the left,

    And…

    Nan Zhou noticed that the hiking boots on his right foot were a little too big for him.

    Compared with the left boot that actually bulged up the hiking boots, the yellow hiking pants he tucked into the right boot looked a little swaying, and a part of the trousers still slipped out.

    More precisely, his right leg appears to be thinner than his left, as if his muscles were underdeveloped.

    And the tips of his felt hiking boots were stained with a dull liquid.

    Nanzhou carefully observed their costumes, turning a blind eye to their stares.

    But others are being cut by three pairs of strange eyes and don't know whether to go or stay.

    Their eyes are straight and straight, like fish hooks.

    I can't see any maliciousness or killing intent, but it just brings a chilling goose bumps down my spine.

    For a while, the atmosphere became more stagnant.

    There is even a bit of tension.

    Although Lu Bifang was still a student, when he thought of the three ordinary people behind him, he couldn't help but step back.

    He bites the bullet and stands still, hands behind his back.

    He came with a mission this time.

    Lu Bifang tried his best to keep his voice from being stage fright in the howling cold wind.

    But no matter how steady and cold the voice came out, it was also blown away by the wind mixed with ice particles.

    He simply raised his voice: "We didn't plan to go up the mountain! We just saw someone here! Come and ask about the situation!"

    The new man and woman kept their gazes like a searchlight.

    The man with the hammer responded dryly: "Oh. If you don't go up the mountain, that's fine."

    The man murmured his lips so dry that he could see the traces of blood.

    The wind picked up again, blowing only the broken message into their ears.

    "We, after a while, go up the mountain, go to... patrol the mountain. Don't let people go up the mountain."

    Nan Zhou thought, he roughly understood what the rules were all about.

    In this dungeon, their goal is to ensure that they climb higher than this group of weird climbers.

    When Lu Bifang put his hands behind his back just now, even if he had to squint his eyes, Nan Zhou could still see clearly that he was holding a freeze-proof GPS in his hand.

    This is probably the item they got while searching for supplies.

    The GPS display clearly shows the real-time altitude of the location of the strange climbers.

    4513 meters.

    Nan Zhou looked back and compared, and was more convinced of his judgment.

    The concrete building they were teleported into was almost parallel to this camp.

    In other words, the starting point of the two teams was pulled to a similar position by the system.

    But first of all, from the performance of these so-called "Luna" believers, they will never allow them to climb the mountain.

    Secondly, even if one's own side doesn't move, once the other side starts to patrol the mountain, it will definitely take the lead.

    I am afraid that no one has experience in climbing snow peaks.

    And this group of climbers obviously don't look very human, who knows if they will be good at climbing.

    Nan Zhou took a look at the three humanoids of different shapes in front of him.

    ...Just looking at their frail skin and bones, it was really difficult to judge their strength for a while.

    Li Yinhang's understanding is more popular.

    The so-called racing required by the copy, from the point of view of this group of mountaineers, to put it bluntly, I am chasing you, if I catch you, I will give you a hammer.

    These climbers all look like good men and women, and all of them look like cultists.

    According to their bleak style, I am afraid they will not lightly forgive the "tyrants" who dare to offend the so-called "moon god"...

    Li Yinhang was muttering in his heart when he heard Nan Zhou ask quietly behind her: "What gods are there in the moon? Chang'e? Rabbit?"

    The nervous Lu Bifang and Li Yinhang: "…"

    "...God, is God."

    When talking about "God", the eyes of the three people in front of them finally added some brilliance.

    neurotic, fanatical.

    The bear-like man finally spoke.

    He spoke with a dull energy, but combined with the expression on his face, there was a different kind of terror.

    "On the top of the mountain, Luna is waiting on the top of the mountain."

    "The first to approach it will be sacrificed, eaten, eaten."

    "So, can't go up the mountain, no one can go up the mountain-"

    Nan Zhou thought about it for a while, and made a logic for them: "You don't want other people to go up the mountain and become the sacrifice of the moon god, so no one is allowed to go up the mountain, otherwise..."

    The other party clenched the ice **** and hammer in their hands with religious fanatic expressions.

    The hammer man murmured: "It is terrible to be a sacrifice to the gods. So we have to help those who make mistakes and want to get close to the moon god, and give them a pleasure, no, no To be a sacrifice to the gods again—”

    Seeing this, Jiang Fang felt a little funny.

    He thought of a piece of news he had seen.

    "XX State Police Shoots Teenager to Stop Shooting Himself".

    At this moment, Nan Zhou turned his head firmly, touched the tip of his reddish nose, and summed it up accurately:

    "There is something wrong with my brain. Don't be afraid."

    Jiang Fang laughed sullenly, and couldn't help but raised his hand and pinched his nose.

    Nanzhou: “…”

    He felt a little stuffy.

    Because he was comforting Jiang Fang very seriously and wanted him not to be afraid.

    In the end, he felt like he was being coaxed by his own little animals.

    Nanzhou never indulges in personal emotions easily.

    But correspondingly, he is very easy to fall into his own thinking circle.

    He asked with interest:

    "Is Luna male or female? Have you seen it?"

    "Is that a rabbit?"

    "Is Luna only responsible for this mountain?"

    "Let's go climb other mountains, shall we?"

    The trio didn't answer, they just stared at Nanzhou and the others without saying a word.

    I don't know if I don't want to answer, or I'm confused by the question, or if the NPC can only provide them with so much information.

    After making sure there was nothing else to ask, Nan Zhou took advantage of the unpreparedness and sneaked into a tent.

    He saw their tattered climbing props, which were gloomy and dirty old things, as if they had climbed up and down this snowy cliff a thousand times.

    If Jiang Fang hadn't caught the little wild cat back in time, the bear-like man would have gone mad.

    They had to go home.

    Fortunately, when I went back, the wind was much lighter.

    However, the few people who had a general understanding of the difficulty of the task did not feel even the slightest ease.

    The huge moon with serious disproportion hangs coldly in the sky.

    The sense of oppression is uncontrollable, dizziness, weak legs, and rapid heart rate, especially when they walk, it is almost like walking with such a terrible planet on their backs, which is psychologically heavy to suffocation.

    Because it is too large, the arc of rotation is clearly visible compared to when it was far away in the sky.

    …even like a giant's eye twitching.

    Under such invisible pressure, even Li Yinhang, who has no altitude sickness, has to walk and rest for a while.

    In order to disperse the fear of the huge full moon that seemed to fall at any time and smash them into powder, Li Yinhang began to think:

    "Are we going to take their word for it?"

    "If there really is a monster like 'Moon God' on the mountain, wouldn't we be courting death when we climb the mountain?"

    "If we don't climb the mountain and stay where we are, we will still lose..."

    Unfortunately, everyone has doubts in their hearts, and no one can answer her questions.

    Lu Bifang is a very down-to-earth child. He carefully wrote down the things he couldn't figure out, and planned to report back to the captain and deputy team one by one to brainstorm ideas.

    After roughly recording, he turned his attention to Jiang Fang, who put his hands behind Nan Zhou's waist and escorted him step by step.

    He called out to him: "Mr. Jiang?"

    Jiang Fang politely replied: "Well, I'm here."

    Lu Bifang raised his breath: "What kind of work did you...do?"

    Jiang Fang smiled and said, "Me? Unemployed vagabond."

    Lu Bifang asked, "Where did you live before?"

    Jiang Fang: "Kiev in Ukraine."

    Lu Bifang: "...after returning to China?"

    Jiang Fang: "Just walk around and take a look."

    Lu Bifang deliberately typed out his origins to help him recall where he saw Jiang Fang.

    He asked a question, Jiang Fang answered it, he cooperated fully, and his attitude was not wrong at all.

    But Lu Bifang still has a feeling of powerlessness to punch cotton.

    …is it a student police officer with no work experience, and she still speaks with a naive and unconcealed frankness.

    Nan Zhou endured the pain of physical discomfort and walked obediently on oxygen.

    He thought about many things to himself.

    He wondered if Luna was really a rabbit.

    He thought that in just 12 hours, they didn't have time to climb another mountain.

    He wondered how they should start the race.

    He thought about whether he would benefit a little more from this visit to the camp, or a little more to startle the snake.

    He thought, the strange woman and the subtle and strange sense of disobedience in the bear-like man.

    As they got closer and closer to the small building where they lived, Lu Bifang began to take out the GPS remeasured real-time altitude data.

    Sure enough, it is also 4513 meters.

    The starting line for both sides is the same.

    While most people's attention was on the GPS, Nan Zhou glanced and inadvertently swept to a black cloud hidden in the shadows by the cement outer wall of the second floor.

    At first, Nan Zhou thought he was confused.

    But after walking a few steps, he finally saw the specific outline of the thing.

    Nan Zhou did not speak, but stood quietly and pointed forward.

    Everyone had devoted some of their energy and paid special attention to Nan Zhou, who was not feeling well. Whenever he made a move, everyone followed the direction of his fingers and looked at one place—

    When Li Yinhang saw the shadow clearly, after her heart stopped beating suddenly, she instantly resisted the small tongue in her throat and thumped wildly, causing her throat to tremble. Itching, chest choking—

    They are all uniform gray-cyan, and with the protection of shadows, they are almost integrated with the cement wall color.

    If it weren't for Nanzhou's sharp eyes, I'm afraid no one would notice this cement-colored voyeur.

    His skinny style is exactly the same as the trio in that camp.

    He was holding a slightly whitish climbing rope in his hand, standing on the waterproof edge about **** wide beside the window on the second floor.

    The shadow where the warm light cannot reach is where the peepers stand.

    The man also quickly noticed the four people standing in front of the building.

    However, he doesn't seem to be at all nervous about being caught.

    He looked down at the four of them, and a strange smile appeared on his lifelike face.

    When Lu Bifang reacted, shouted, and strode towards him, the rope in his hand shook, his thin body swims against the wall and climbed over the second floor like a tiger, and disappeared on the roof superior.

    Nan Zhou's heart stared at the place where he disappeared, thoughtfully.

    That group of people discovered their existence from the very beginning.

    When their own side goes to check the other side's situation, they are also observing, guarding and guarding themselves.

    …Also, it’s really fast.

    I'm so envious.

    The author has something to say:
