[Remaining survival time: 6 days, 2 hours, 25 minutes and 00 seconds]

24 minutes and 59 seconds.

24 minutes and 58 seconds.

57 seconds, 56 seconds, 55 seconds...

Seeing the survival time going backwards minute by second, Xie Xingyin's expression changed slightly.

No one told him what would happen after the survival time reaches 0, but there is no doubt that the end of the countdown is death.

It looks like he doesn't have much time.

There were several rows of option icons on the left and right of the screen. Xie Xingyin found that he could select them with his mind, so he clicked on them one by one and looked at them.

There is a store function, which only unlocks one thing:

[General Admission Ticket to Babel Tower]

Fare: 1 day survival time

Completion reward: 5-15 days survival time

*Note: The purchase is limited to one ticket per day and is valid for 24 hours. Please climb the tower before the validity period ends.

Xie Xingyin didn't know how to use the ticket, but he looked at the countdown in the upper right corner with worry.

There is not much time left to survive, and the seconds that keep going backwards seem to be urging you to die.

The night is getting dark.

On the top terrace of the guild base during the day, a young man in a silver-black uniform was leaning against the railing and smoking.

He held a cigarette between his slender fingertips, and a few strands of his tied-up black hair were scattered. Amid the smoke, half of his almost perfect profile was revealed.

Players who have never met Lu Fen with their own eyes would never have imagined that the famous Bai Ri Guild Leader would be so young.

——The rumored evil Shura has a handsome face that makes people imagine.

In the silent darkness behind him, there was a sudden "ding" sound, like the sound of an empty wine bottle falling to the ground.

The patio door opened and a woman walked in.

The woman is approximately in her early thirties, with long burgundy curly hair, a tight-fitting black uniform that covers a hot and bumpy figure, and sharp eyebrows like a cold-blooded female agent in a foreign movie.

"Hey, didn't you take someone out of the city and come back so soon?" The woman kicked away the empty wine bottle and walked over with her arms folded.

"Something happened." Lu Fen leaned against the railing and lazily shook out the cigarette butt.

"What could be more important than hunting..."

She picked up the wine bottle on the side and poured it into the empty glass: "I just heard from Ye Xing that you brought someone back from the Forbidden Forest?"

Lu Fen had no expression on his face, just staring at the light on the cigarette butt in his hand. "He's injured. Let's bring him back for you to see."

The woman laughed: "What do you mean, President Lu never meddles in other people's business, so he is so kind as to act as a nanny for the newcomer? It turns out he wants to give me orders."

"..." Lu Fen finally raised his eyes to look at her.

"Just kidding." The woman smiled like a fox and stared at him with burning eyes.

"I'm really curious about what kind of newcomer can make you come back in the middle of a hunt - how old does that have to be?"

"It's nothing. Stop listening to their nonsense." Lu Fen put the cigarette to his lips, too lazy to continue.

His expression looked the same as usual, but he was obviously in a good mood.

"Natalie."

After a while, Lu Fen called the woman's name, "Do me a favor."

"Um?"

The woman named Natalie responded.

Lu Fen put out the cigarette butt:

"I have to go to the Forbidden Forest. Please take care of him these days."

Natalie carried the dinner plate to the top floor of the base. Before this, she had almost never entered Lu Fen's room.

To be honest, she was really curious about who that bastard Lu Fen had brought back.

Their Guild Leader Lu has just turned twenty. It is hard to believe that he has lived in the main city for nearly ten years and is one of the earliest players. Those people were all dead and crippled back then, but now he is the only one left.

.

Having grown up in such a dangerous environment, he is unrivaled in terms of qualifications, but he is also cold-blooded.

Having known Lu Fen for a long time, Natalie rarely saw Lu Fen show concern for anyone. It was hard for her not to wonder what the relationship between this newcomer and him was.

But Lu Fen warned her not to talk nonsense.

Lu Fen's room was on the top floor of the base. When Natalie opened the door and entered, Xie Xingyin was already awake and sitting on the bed in a daze.

Seeing the person sitting on the bed, she raised her eyebrows happily.

Oh, someone named Lu actually brought back a handsome boy.

The corners of Natalie's lips curled up unconsciously. If that's what she thought, it seems that Chairman Lu, who has no relatives, has similar aesthetics to her.

"Hello." Seeing the woman pushing the door open and walking in, Xie Xingyin was a little confused about the situation.

"you're awake?"

Natalie put the dinner plate on the bedside table and saw Xie Xingyin looking at her blankly.

"It doesn't matter, just ask whatever you want. This is the base of the White House Guild. My name is Natalie, and I am the doctor in the guild."

Xie Xingyin cautiously shook hands with her.

Natalie was the first person he saw after waking up, but Xie Xingyin vaguely remembered that it was a man who saved him in the forest.

"Did you bring me out of the forest?" Xie Xingyin asked.

"It's not me, I'm just the doctor in the guild." Natalie said, "The president brought you back. You were in a coma for almost two days, and they have gone back to hunt now."

When Lu Fen was mentioned, Natalie shrugged, pushed the dinner plate in front of Xie Xingyin, and changed the topic. "You haven't eaten in two days, aren't you hungry?"

I'm a little hungry.

So Xie Xingyin thanked him and took the plates over. But when he saw the familiar dark green vines in one of the plates, he choked unexpectedly.

"This is……?"

"Stir-fried pork with devil's vine, it's not easy to get fresh vegetables here." Natalie seemed unconcerned and sat down next to him, flipping her hair.

"..." Xie Xingyin was silent for a moment, swallowed hard, and poked the plate of "fresh vegetables" with his fork.

With a beep, an eyeball in the vine was squeezed out.

"..."

My grass.

Xie Xingyin silently put down his fork.

"Why don't you eat?" Natalie looked at him enthusiastically.

Xie Xingyin said with difficulty: "It's nothing, I was attacked by it when I was in the forest."

"Ah, no wonder you were unconscious for so long..." Natalie blinked, "Although devil's ivy is not toxic, its juice has strong aphrodisiac and hallucinogenic effects. It rarely attacks people actively, but it is possible that it

I happen to be attracted by the smell of your blood."

"..." aphrodisiac.

Xie Xingyin's expression stiffened imperceptibly.

Natalie was still enthusiastically recommending the plate of devil's ivy: "If you don't mind, you can try it, it's delicious."

It was hard to resist such hospitality. Xie Xingyin bit his molars and took a small bite. The taste was crisp and refreshing, like pickled radish.

good.

However, as soon as he saw this thing, he remembered the embarrassing scene of being entangled in the cane before, so he didn't dare to eat more and picked up a spoon to drink the porridge.

From Natalie's tone, it sounded like she had been here for a long time and was very familiar with this place.

So Xie Xingyin asked her while eating: "Have you lived here for a long time?"

"Almost two years."

"That's quite a long time." Xie Xingyin nodded. If he were allowed to eat devil's vine here every day, he would probably be choked to live for two weeks.

"I still find it incredible. Where is this place? Why did I suddenly appear in that forest?"

"Mr. Xie, everything you have experienced is not a dream." Natalie paused for a moment, as if trying to organize her words, "Have you ever heard of Judgment Day?"

As soon as the three words were spoken, Xie Xingyin's hand holding the tableware paused, and the expression on his face suddenly became alert. He raised his head and stared at the woman in front of him.

A chill ran straight up my spine.

Judgment Day.
