Chapter 279: Ice Wall, Impotent Rage

This player who was frozen to death on the spot sounded a wake-up call to the remaining players.

The logging cabin in front of me looked safe.

But that's not the case.

The way to survive here is to pretend to be asleep.

Once you violate it, it will be a dead end.

This reminded them of some ancient ghost stories.

In those stories, even if you see something wrong or a ghost, you have to pretend you didn't see it.

You must not show any abnormality, otherwise you will be dead.

The current logging cabin is similar to something in a ghost story.

After the bodies had been in the house for a while.

Just open the door and leave.

Take advantage of this gap to look outside.

There were many corpses of various shapes standing in the yard.

They walked back and forth with stiff steps, as if they were holding some kind of activity, a team-building event near the logging cabin.

On the bed, Old Man Zhang had long been accustomed to this situation.

Lying alone in bed, I was sleeping soundly, with even slight snoring sounds coming from me.

Several hours passed like this.

The noise outside began to slowly disappear.

Probably because the activity time had passed, the corpses began to leave.

Finally, Old Man Zhang also sat up from the bed.

He murmured, "It's almost dawn."

"I slept well last night, but I still need some popularity, which is more conducive to sleep."

He looked at the people lying in the room, but did not take the initiative to wake them up.

Instead, he went outside, brought in some slices of meat and some pancakes, and started preparing breakfast.

The players basically didn't sleep all night.

They all watched Old Man Zhang's operation and couldn't help but feel curious.

These meats and breads look very fresh. Where do they come from?
Could it be that those frozen corpses came here yesterday for team building and paid him the venue fee?

If that's the case, where did they get all the food?

I can't understand it at all.

Before Su Ming spoke, they dared not move.

Another half hour passed.

Su Ming sat up from the bed, rubbing his eyes, and greeted Uncle Zhang: "Good morning! Uncle Zhang!"

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Good morning! Did you sleep well last night?"

Su Ming: "Very good! I haven't had such a comfortable sleep for a long time."

"Look at them, they are still asleep and haven't woken up yet!"

"Wake up! Wake up! It's time to get up!"

Under his urging, other players began to "wake up" one after another.

Even though I barely slept the whole night, I still had to cheer myself up and pretend that I had just woken up.

Uncle Zhang was very satisfied with this: "Okay! Wake up first, the hot breakfast will be ready soon!"

The aroma of scones and grilled meat filled the entire cabin.

Afterwards, the group of people happily finished the meal of pancakes and meat.

Old man Zhang also prepared a big pot of eight-treasure porridge, which was quite enjoyable to drink.

In the middle, the players were in perfect harmony.

No one mentioned what happened last night.

Old man Zhang seemed to have not noticed at all that there was one player missing.

In this weird atmosphere.

Everyone finished breakfast together.

Then, Old Man Zhang filled their bags with chopped black firewood.

Old Man Zhang: "This black pine wood is quite strong. It is a specialty of my lumberyard and is very resistant to burning."

“Everyone who has used it says it’s good!”

Su Ming: "Okay! Thank you, Uncle Zhang!"

"The money for this wood should be put into the account of the Snow Mountaineering Team."

"Someone from our company will come over later, and we'll settle the bill then."

Old man Zhang readily agreed: "No problem! No problem!"

"I still trust the people from your Snow Mountaineering Team!"

Wait until they leave.

Old man Zhang looked at their backs and whispered to himself, "Strange! Really strange!"

"The three companions who died nearby didn't hold any grudges against him." "And he didn't do anything wrong. It didn't seem like it was his first time here."

"Could it be that this is the person that the god arranged to come here to retrace his path to godhood?"

He no longer thought about these messes.

Instead, he stood up and boiled a pot of water for himself.

It’s useless to think too much, it’s better to drink more hot water.

……

After leaving the logging cabin, we walked for a long way.

The players didn't feel relieved until they could no longer see the logging cabin.

Zhang Tieshu asked Su Ming in a low voice: "Boss, can we talk now?"

Su Ming nodded: "It's safe for now."

After hearing this, the players' tense spirits finally relaxed.

"Yawn~ I'm so sleepy!"

"I was so uncomfortable last night. The bodies of Lao Wang and Gou Ye were sleeping next to me."

"Hahaha! Who made you two have such a good relationship?"

"Even though we have such a good relationship, we can't torture our good brothers like this, right?"

"This cabin is just too weird. It's not dangerous, but it just feels weird."

"There is also this old man Zhang. He is too similar to the old man Zhang before."

……

The players were full of curiosity.

Just waiting for Su Ming to come forward and answer questions.

Su Ming: "This logging cabin is a key node."

"We were pretty lucky. We encountered a logging cabin that was relatively less dangerous."

"This black pine wood is indeed very durable. We don't have to worry about the shortage of wood in the future."

He did not answer all the questions.

Because of many things, even he didn't know what was going on.

Some things did not affect his perfect completion of the game, so he did not pay much attention to them.

After all, human energy and time are limited, so they should be used on the most important things.

There's no need to waste time on minutiae.

The remaining few continued to trek forward.

Then, the players discovered.

The surrounding environment is indeed starting to become different from before.

The world was originally completely white, but now the ice began to be exposed.

And as we move forward, the amount of exposed ice becomes larger and larger.

It was not without snow in the middle, but once the snow fell on the exposed ice, it would quickly melt into the ice.

The exposed ice layers are still as bright as a mirror.

Gradually, they began to slide forward on the ice.

This saved them a lot of effort.

If we encounter heavy fog during the trip, we can set up camp and rest.

We continued like this on and off for more than half a month.

Finally, they came to a nearly vertical ice wall.

This ice wall is as high as the clouds.

Looking up, I couldn't see the end and couldn't tell how tall he was.

In the face of this miraculous wonder, human beings seem so insignificant.

Zhang Tieshu: "Boss, are we going to climb up from here?"

……

Lost in the maze.

The boss's face was full of frustration and numbness.

He had been in this damn place for who knows how long.

At the beginning, I was still wondering if I could find a pattern and get out of here.

Even if he can't escape, it would be good if he could return to his original place.

However, after repeated attempts, there was no progress.

This endless torture and deep confusion almost made him collapse.

He pounded the maze wall hard, furious and helpless: "Ahhhhh! When can I get out of here!!!"
