After resting for twenty minutes, Yingwu slid down from the tree. Ten minutes ago, he had replaced No. 4 at the commanding heights, allowing No. 4 to rest for ten minutes as well.
Yingwu glanced around and asked, "Are you all rested? Ready to go."
"Um!"
"alright."
"lets go!"
Everyone cheered up. Although they only rested for twenty minutes, it would be unsafe if they didn't walk a little more before dark.
But just after everyone packed up their things, they suddenly discovered something was going on ahead.
"Wait, look there!"
Number 4 pointed not far away, about twenty steps away.
Three tents came into view.
The tents that everyone saw were arranged in a triangle, with a bonfire in the middle. The fire had long been extinguished, and ice and snow could still be vaguely seen above the tents.
No one noticed the sudden appearance of the tent at such a close distance!
And it is still some distance away from the snow-covered areas on the mountain.
While resting, everyone tested the temperature. It was about ten degrees, and it was impossible to freeze at ten degrees.
But what's going on with this snow-covered tent?
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all looked like they had seen a ghost.
No one noticed the sudden appearance of the tent.
There is no explanation why the tent would freeze at this temperature.
"No. 4 climbs up the tree, and No. 2 comes with me to take a look!" Yingwu held up his submachine gun and motioned to No. 4 to climb up the treetop and take the commanding heights.
He and No. 2 went over to check it out.
At this time, Bai Ye walked up and took out a pistol, "I'll go take a look with you."
"good!"
Yingwu had seen Bai Ye's strength, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Number 2 took Number 6, Jun, and the three of them to hide in the dark, while setting up sniper rifles to support Yingwu and Bai Ye at any time.
…
The two of them approached the tent carefully, and after walking in, they discovered that the ice and snow covering the tent was much thicker than they thought.
You can feel the chill coming from far away.
"This ice and snow is not condensing, but melting!"
"I'll go in and take a look, you're responsible for covering."
Yingwu used the tip of his spear to pick up a corner of the tent, but his hand failed to move and he couldn't pick it up at all!
He reached out to touch the tent and suddenly felt a cold sensation on his fingertips.
"Frozen?"
The whole tent was frozen!
Just like an igloo.
Bai Ye also reached out and tried. Not to mention lifting up the tent, it was just a frozen wall of ice and couldn't be opened at all.
"Boy, bring your flamethrower!"
"coming!"
…
It took several minutes for the tent to thaw under the flames of the flamethrower.
Yingwu picked up the submachine gun again and raised a corner of the tent with the muzzle of the gun.
The tent was not big and could be seen at a glance. There were several human-shaped objects wrapped in quilts inside the tent.
Judging from the size, it should be three adults huddled together.
Only one of the three tents was occupied.
The other two tents are empty.
"I'll go in and take a look. You all should be careful."
Yingwu took the initiative to enter the tent to check the situation.
…
A few minutes later...
"They were three women. They were all frozen to death. Their bodies were as stiff as popsicles, and the quilts were all covered with a layer of ice and snow."
General Ying informed everyone of the situation he discovered.
Bai Ye recognized one of them.
It was the captain of Yun's team, the woman named Zheng Zhu.
After leaving Yun behind, this group of people left the grassland. According to the course of the route, the team of these three people was in front of them.
Judging from the tent and the clothes of the three of them, they must have climbed to a snow-covered area on the mountain.
For freezing to occur, the temperature must be at least sub-zero.
Bai Ye looked up in the direction of the top of the mountain and suddenly asked, "Do you feel that the distance to the top of the mountain seems to be getting farther?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.
It turns out that Bai Ye is not the only one who feels this way.
But everyone feels this way.
It's just that everyone didn't pay attention and just thought they were wrong, so they didn't bring it up.
"Test the temperature!" Yingwu said immediately with his eyes focused.
"Twenty-eight degrees!"
After the second test, he said loudly.
Before climbing the mountain, everyone tested the temperature at the foot of the mountain, and it was surprisingly 28 degrees!
They climbed up for a full hour.
While resting, I tested the temperature again, and it was around ten degrees.
Why is it that the temperature has reached 28 degrees when I wake up after sleeping?
Judge based on the distance to the top of the mountain.
They are...
Back to the foot of the mountain again?
…
After a while of silence, Bai Ye first put forward his own point of view.
"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid we were all 'teleported' back to the foot of the mountain just like them."
The reason why he said this was because this was not the first time he had encountered this kind of thing in the trial space.
With lessons learned from the past, it is easier to think of this possibility.
Although it is just a guess, no one can deny the facts before them.
"Why do you say that?" Yingwu is the captain of the team and is more rational. It is impossible for him to decide something based on just guessing.
Bai Ye pondered for a moment and began to analyze.
"First of all, this trial space should be of a level-breaking type, and the key point between the jungle in the first level and the grassland in the second level is the direction."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
You need to find the river in the jungle to determine the direction.
There is light refraction above the grassland, which disrupts visual judgment of direction.
Both of these points have been confirmed.
"So how about climbing over this mountain in this third level? Where is the key point?"
"Is it the direction? No."
Bai Ye raised his head and looked into the distance, looking towards the top of the mountain.
There is no doubt that the direction is clear.
"If the test of this third level is not to confirm the direction, then what is it?" No. 6 asked.
"Time." Bai Ye replied.
time?
Yingwu and others did not expect that Bai Ye would give such an answer.
Their first reaction was that it was space.
After all, they and another team were 'teleported' back to the foot of the mountain, and they subconsciously thought that the key to climbing over the mountain was space.
"That's right." Bai Ye continued to add, "If you don't turn it over within a certain time, I'm afraid you will return to .asxs. This is the key issue of the third level."
"Whether that's the case, you'll know if you try it."
Yingwu made a prompt decision and divided the team into three groups.
One group climbed for half an hour to camp and rest, one group climbed for 20 minutes to camp and rest, and the other group climbed for 10 minutes to camp and rest.
Bai Ye and Yingwu are a team for thirty minutes.
No. 6 and Jun are in a 20-minute team.
Numbers 2 and 4 are a group, a ten-minute team.
The test time is one day and one night.
After each group arrived at the predetermined location, they rested to see if they would be re-transported to the foot of the mountain the next day.
