Bell quickly ascended from the dense forest on the mountainside, carrying a lot of equipnt, mostly recording and filming devices. At a glance, it seed to weigh around a hundred pounds, yet it didn't slow Bell down at all!
"This speed climbing the mountain... interesting."
Zhao Yi squinted his eyes.
Clearly, Bell's physical condition far exceeded that of a normal human.
Even a royal special forces king couldn't possibly carry dozens or even hundreds of pounds of gear up a mountain path at such speed!
He glanced again at Ed by the campfire.
Ed was barely dressed.
All he had on was a pair of shorts.
anwhile, Zhao Yi, playing the guest role, was dressed in three layers and could still feel a slight chill in the air.
Judging by the faint frost on the grass nearby, the temperature at the mountaintop must be below zero.
Undoubtedly, Bell and Ed's physiques had been enhanced to an unknown extent.
This seed to be a good thing.
The stronger they were, the less likely unexpected incidents would occur for the players in the jungle as long as they stayed close.
Zhao Yi stroked his chin, his gaze fixed on the campfire in front of Ed, pondering sothing.
At this mont, other players gradually woke up.
A woman's scream ca from beside him:
"Damn! Who sared bird poop on my chest... and even spread it evenly!"
"How shaless!"
Zhao Yi righteously chid in:
"Exactly!"
"I can't believe so jerk would do such a despicable thing!"
"It's utterly disgraceful!"
"Don't let catch you, or you'll pay for it!"
The newly awakened players exchanged confused glances.
They hadn't fully realized their current situation yet, as not everyone was as ntally alert as Zhao Yi.
...
Zhao Yi's Live Streaming Room:
: Damn, it's been a few days, and Zhao Yi has beco this shaless?
: Tsk tsk, when soone is shaless, they're invincible!
: Signing in! And continuing to learn!
: Holy crap, my brother's mission difficulty has turned into Hell!
: I'm a newbie, can soone explain what Hell difficulty is?
: Ga dungeon difficulties are: Normal, Nightmare, Hell, Purgatory, Tornt, Despair, and Impossible.
: Correct explanation above.
...
The new dungeon opened, and the players fully entered the state.
In this batch of players, there were hardly any rookies.
The three with relatively low levels: Zhao Yi, Ji Teng, and Ding Longfei, were all in the top twenty of the rookie ranking!
Zhao Yi was first, Ji Teng eighth, and Ding Longfei fourteenth.
Perhaps this was why they were matched with a Hell-level dungeon.
Bell set up the cara and distributed the batteries.
Ed, noticing he had one less battery, complained:
"Why is there one battery missing?"
"What if the power runs out?"
Bell replied:
"Funds are tight... besides, when have you ever used up a battery?"
"Make do with what you have, conserve a bit, and it should be fine."
Ed gritted his teeth and strapped the cara and spare battery onto his back.
Then he turned around, his chest hair bristling, and addressed the players:
"Welco to the 'Wilderness Survival' show, no need for further introductions. Over the next fifteen days, you'll be split into two groups of four, following Bell and in different areas to complete challenges and return to human society!"
"But before that, we'll give you ten minutes to freely discuss and choose whom to follow for the challenge."
"If one side has too many people, the excess will be randomly assigned to the other group."
"Now, please start your discussions!"
"Please be quick, night is falling, and this mountain range not only has fierce unknown beasts but also terrifying poisonous insects!"
With that, Ed and Bell stood in the distance under the setting sun.
The players briefly introduced themselves to each other and began discussing the dungeon task.
The first to speak was Wei Yun, the woman with the large chest who had bird poop sared on her by Zhao Yi.
"Long story short, this dungeon may seem like a simple wilderness survival task, with two wilderness experts assigned to us. However, since it's a Hell-level eight-player dungeon, there must be unexpected dangers lurking!"
"Everyone's strength has been reduced by 50%, and our item slots are sealed, making it hard to utilize our personal power. So I suggest we unite as much as possible to fight against external threats!"
Her words imdiately garnered a lot of agreent.
"I agree!"
"I choose Bell!"
"I choose Ed!"
"I also choose Ed!"
...
In just a few minutes, everyone had made their choice.
Among the eight players, six wanted to follow Bell, while only two were willing to go with Ed.
The reason was simple: Bell had excellent equipnt and a divine weapon—a military knife.
Ed... had nothing.
He didn't even have hair.
Clearly, when faced with unpredictable dangers, Bell's combat capability would be higher than Ed's!
There weren't many slackers among them; otherwise, they wouldn't have been matched to a Hell-level dungeon.
They had sharp eyes and wanted to follow the well-equipped Bell, unwilling to team up with Ed, the expert with nothing.
The two who chose Ed were Zhao Yi and Wei Yun.
After a quick ga of rock-paper-scissors, two more were randomly assigned to Ed.
—Ding Longfei and Ying Xiangying.
Both were robust young n, though Ding Longfei looked vigorous, while Ying Xiangying seed reserved and low-key.
Being assigned to Ed, they didn't look pleased.
Could this expert, who didn't even have hair, really be reliable?
"Very well, since you've made your choice, the four of you coming with ... let's go find tonight's campsite now!"
Ed's eyes sparkled with excitent, his smile childlike.
Zhao Yi and the others exchanged glances, said nothing, and followed Ed's sturdy figure into the dark forest below.
On the way, Ed turned on the cara, filming as he spoke:
"The Rubaco Mountains have a huge temperature difference between day and night, usually dropping to around minus twenty degrees at night. Without a suitable shelter, we won't last until morning..."
"Also... watch your step. As far as I know, there are at least 43 different types of spiders and other poisonous insects in the mountains that could easily take our lives!"
"Moreover, to ensure the authenticity of this reality show, we haven't brought any external support, dicine, food, or water, so try your best not to get injured... because if your wounds get infected here, it could an death..."
PS: That's all for tonight.
I'll continue copying the book tomorrow morning.
Good night, brothers!
