My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

In the first level, there were more than a thousand people, but in the end only more than two hundred people advanced. In the second level, the number of people who advanced was only more than a hundred.

The other two people in the team were ranked at the top of the promotion list, but Zhang Hao was at the bottom. He was not sure if he could continue to be partners with Raymond and Red in the next level. If the team was divided according to the ranking, he would probably be separated from Raymond and Red.

Before leaving, Zhang Hao asked Kevin again about the battle rules of the next level. Kevin said that each level has its own manager, and the examination rules of each level are set by the manager himself. No one else can interfere, not even the king of the tower.

Although I still feel unsure, the road is right in front of me and I have to go on.

When he arrived at the teleportation point, Zhang Hao saw that Raymond and Red, who were in the top ten, had not left yet. When they saw him coming, they waved to him to hurry over.

Zhang Hao was surprised and happy, and ran over quickly.

"Why haven't you gone to the next floor yet?"

"I just asked the gatekeeper of the formation, and he said that we can walk together with our companions. We don't have to follow the order. Anyway, there are rules for the next level. We thought that since we can walk together, let's walk together. We can also chat on the way."

Raymond pulled Zhang Hao over, and the three of them walked into the magic circle together. The next moment, a strange mist flashed before their eyes, and they came to a very humid place...

They looked around, but were stunned by the scene before them.

What is this place?
How could there be a tropical rainforest in this tower?

The place where they are now is the tropical rainforest, with damp moss under their feet and sturdy rainforest trees beside them. The moisture content in the air is almost reaching smog level. One breath is refreshing. It must be said that in this environment, people's body and mind will be soothed.

But when I think carefully about my current situation, that feeling of relaxation disappears without a trace.

This is a tower!
How can there be a tropical rainforest in Tarifa if there is no sunshine and no certification?

"How did this thing grow?"

"I don't know either. I guess only the manager of this floor knows. What about others?"

A few people looked around, but didn't see anyone from other teams, or rather, there was no one else here except the three of them.

Zhang Hao looked down and suddenly found a sign under his feet. The number on it was exactly his ranking in the previous level.

"Does that mean that among those who advance, each ranking means that we will be teleported to completely different places? In other words... those who teleported alone may have been separated from their teammates a long time ago, and you just happened to wait for me, so we can meet again in this level."

Although it is just a guess, it is the biggest possibility at the moment.

After hearing this, Red couldn't help but applaud.

"It seems that waiting for you little guy is beneficial. At least I don't have to fight alone in this rain forest."

Raymond sat on the ground and thought for a few minutes, and only one possibility came to his mind.

"Or... the teleportation array on the previous level is the first level. They are testing whether we will go with our partners. Are they trying to test how well we understand each other after a battle? Do they want to take this opportunity to go to the next level and choose new partners..."

The thought of this is truly terrifying.

If this is true, then perhaps their fate had already been decided the moment they entered the tower, and everything they experienced afterwards was just a struggle.

There is no point in thinking too much. Since they have come here, since they have been through all this, and since the three of them can still accompany each other, this barrier does not mean that they cannot be overcome!

At this moment, a disembodied mechanical sound suddenly came from above my head.

"Welcome everyone to the third floor. I am Jasmine, the examiner of the third floor. I believe that everyone has arrived at their respective teleportation points. Some teams are two or even three people together. Now let me tell you the rules of the examination room and the content of your exam.

The rainforest is the main terrain of the third floor, occupying almost two-thirds of the entire terrain. In this entire rainforest, I have prepared ten Rubik's Cubes in advance. The ten Rubik's Cubes are engraved with numbers from 1 to 10. If the team gets the Rubik's Cube No. 1, they can get an extra 10 points after the game. The team that gets the Rubik's Cube No. 10 can get 1 point. Starting from the third floor, the points accumulated in each selection and competition will affect the conditions for your next selection. From now on, it is the real Polar Tower. "

"Also, I'd like to remind you that each Rubik's Cube is guarded by a powerful force. If you don't have enough power, you can reunite with others first. In this level, you can reorganize your team, or reunite with your former teammates. Of course... you can also choose to eliminate your opponent.

There are no other rules for this exam except the rules of winning, so good luck to everyone."

Simply put, this is a battle royale with the goal of getting the Rubik's Cube!

A thrilling whistle sounded and the game officially began.

Tangtang was very glad at this moment that they waited for her so that everyone could continue to form a team.

And those who are alone may encounter people who want to destroy them while looking for teammates.

The most terrifying thing is that when you find your teammates, they may have already formed a team, and the new teammates also ask you to kill the previous teammates. This is the time to test your heart.

"Let's go, let's go."

As they move forward, they maintain the habit of observing from three directions: front, middle and back.

Raymond kept analyzing along the way.

"This exam didn't give us any other clues except for those few rules. He didn't tell us where the Rubik's Cube was or where to find our teammates. He didn't even mention how big this place was. But searching aimlessly won't work. There must be other ways. We shouldn't search blindly. We need to determine the location of this rain forest first."

Raymond had only lived on the first and 100th floors in the first half of his life. Although he had some understanding of the places in between, it was not thorough.

He only knew one key clue, which was that there were many ferocious beasts in this rainforest.

The ecology in this tower is very strange, and the thing it has the most is ferocious and huge beasts.

As they continued to move forward, they suddenly heard a scream from the front.

"what!"

The scream stopped abruptly, as if a person experienced a huge fright in a very short period of time, and then was deprived of the right to scream, or directly lost his life.

The three of them squatted down at the same time in tacit understanding and observed the surrounding environment.

There was a large area of ​​rainforest bushes here that could hide their figures. Through the trees, they finally saw what was happening in front of them.

Zhang Hao was very familiar with the dead person. She was the fat woman who guarded the Rubik's Cube tightly when the Rubik's Cube was snatched away before.

The woman's body fell to the ground, surrounded by two orcs, one like a lion and the other like a tiger, they were gnawing on the fat woman's body!
They are actually eating people!
Zhang Hao covered his mouth and took great effort to prevent himself from screaming.

This was the first time Zhang Hao had seen such a thing.

I turned to look at the two people beside me, their expressions were very cold.

"Have you ever seen a scene like this before?"

"No, but we know very well that this kind of thing will happen in this tower. Do you know why two people died inexplicably on the second floor? You didn't know anything at the time." Zhang Hao was confused again.

I really don’t know, when did it happen?
"When weak people die, they die silently, just like snowflakes falling into the vast snow, without any sound, which even makes people feel that it is normal..."

Layton explained.

"We orcs consume a lot of energy in battle, so we usually don't get enough to eat. It's useless to exchange more food. When we are extremely hungry, we will look for animals to eat. They are obviously so hungry that they have lost their minds and look for humans to eat. Don't you notice that there is no human expression on their faces? They are completely murderous and cruel like beasts..."

Yes, that's right.

During the competition, Zhang Hao saw many orcs. Although most of them had different heads and upper bodies from humans, they had facial features and could make the same facial expressions as humans.

So Zhang Hao treated them as humans first, and then as orcs.

But the faces of those two man-eating beasts showed only murderousness and cruelty, without any human expression.

"Don't go over there, don't disturb them, or we may have to fight." Just as he finished speaking, Layton accidentally stepped on a branch while adjusting his squatting position, and the sound instantly attracted the two beasts that were eating people. Their sharp eyes locked onto the bushes, and the hearing of beasts was indeed well developed.

Zhang Hao pinched his throat and meowed. The two teammates beside him looked at him speechlessly.

The two men stood up and regained their human demeanor. Their faces were no longer ferocious, but there was still unconcealable excitement in their eyes.

"Do you think we are stupid? You guys were squatting there for so long, how could we not smell it?"

Three living people were just behind the rainforest. Beasts that had just experienced killing and fighting had a keen sense of smell, especially orcs who were good at hunting. Layton's sense of smell was not good because he was just a cow...

Lei Dun clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "If all else fails, we'll just have a fight with them. I haven't had a good fight since entering this tower. I'm dying of suffocation."

"Don't be impulsive. You two should squat down first and don't show your heads. I will stand up and talk to them."

Zhang Hao stood up and said to the two men expressionlessly, "It was I who made the noise just now. We are just passing by. We don't want to conflict with you, let alone fight. We won't disturb you. Let's go our separate ways. Which way should we go?"

Raymond thought Zhang Hao would say something good, but when he heard what he said, he shook his head helplessly and almost laughed out loud.

Their fighting spirit has been aroused at this moment, so they will not let Zhang Hao go easily.

Moreover, Zhang Hao's previous performances made these people very interested in him. Most of the orcs were born warlike. After all, they were a new type of human species bred specifically for war. At this moment, Zhang Hao was afraid that he would not be able to escape a fierce battle.

Raymond and Red also stood up, three on one side and two on the other. However, when two ordinary people get together, their fighting power is sometimes not as good as that of an orc, so it is hard to say who will win or lose in this battle.

Just then, a whistle was heard in the air.

“The map starts moving.”

What? The map starts moving?
The next second, there was a rumbling sound from the ground and suddenly it cracked!
"what!"

Reid screamed, and suddenly found himself separated from Raymond and Zhang Hao!
The two orcs on the opposite side were assigned to the same group as Zhang Hao, while Layton was assigned to another group alone.

The two plates were instantly separated by more than ten meters, and a river appeared in the middle at some point!

After separating, the two orcs launched an attack without hesitation, targeting Zhang Hao and Raymond, two seemingly weak humans.

"Grass!"

Lei Dun shouted and jumped into the river, ready to swim over. But before he had swum a few meters, a crocodile suddenly jumped out of the river, opening its bloody mouth and almost dragging Lei Dun into the water.

Fortunately, Layton was a good swimmer and managed to get to shore in a panic, but he couldn't swim to the other side. He had no idea how many crocodiles there were in the river and how dangerous it was...

The two people on the opposite side were running towards the river, seemingly wanting to meet up with Lei Dun.

“There are crocodiles in the river!”

Lei Dun shouted, and the two men stopped. There was a crocodile in front of them, and two orcs staring at them from behind. They seemed to be stuck in a dead end...

The road ahead is blocked and the way back is blocked. Is there nothing we can do but sit and wait for death?
Raymond hesitated for a moment, but still pushed Zhang Hao away and reached into his briefcase, as if he wanted to take something out.

Looking at his expression, you can tell that there will be a price to pay for taking this thing out, but this is the only way out at the moment.

Zhang Hao didn't want to see his partner show this expression, so he thought quickly and felt that there might be other ways.

The next second, a long black object was stuffed into Zhang Hao's hand...

It's like a tube, and the side closer to the body is like a switch. What is this?

Tangtang also had one in his hand. He raised it and gently moved his index finger towards the two orcs running over.

boom!
With a loud bang, a bloody hole appeared out of nowhere in the abdomen of one of the orcs. He immediately fell to the ground, holding his stomach and struggling. The small bloody hole seemed to make him unable to move.

If a strong orc could be stabbed with a knife, he would not be unable to move. What on earth is this thing?

Raymond was completely confused.

"Don't just stand there, raise your gun."

This thing is called a gun?
Raymond was very quick-witted. He imitated Zhang Hao's actions, put on the safety and pulled the trigger.

The powerful recoil pushed his body back a little, and the shot deviated and only hit the orc's right leg.

It's over, this is a crucial mistake.

Unexpectedly, the orc was only shot in the thigh and fell to the ground, completely unable to move.

"What on earth is this? How come they lost their fighting power in an instant?"

"To put it simply, there is a bullet inside. The bullet will be fired from the barrel through this hole and hit the enemy. The bullet head will explode inside the body. Even though it is just a small hole on the surface, their body is actually filled with bullet fragments. It is equivalent to having dozens of knives stuck in their body."

No matter how strong a person is, it would be painful to have dozens of knives stabbed into the body. No wonder they would kneel on the ground and be unable to move.

"Will they die?"

"Of course. If they don't have the surgery, they will die in agony from excessive blood loss..."

Zhang Hao said this, feeling a little reluctant, and closed his eyes. After all, this was the first time he took the initiative to kill someone since he came to this world, and it was not for self-protection, and the other party did not even approach him.

There is no other way, he must adapt to the rules of survival here. (End of this chapter)
