Chapter 90: A Weird Team
That night, he did not sleep well.
Even though it was not cold in the room, his hands and feet would still feel cold after he fell asleep.
Even though he had a backpack underneath and a jacket over his body, he would often wake up from the cold.
It was slightly better for Wang Wen. He had taken a nap in the Survival in the Wild level.
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo were in a worse situation.
They were exhausted, but they were half asleep and half awake.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Zhu Xingguo’s temper flared. He found some kindling objects and set fire to a few wooden mechanisms that had been dismantled.
There was no vent in the mechanism room. The smoke did not disperse and soon made them dizzy.
They quickly packed up their things and fled to the next floor.
The following levels were all about chasing and catching up to the entrance, and they never encountered a place to rest again.
The three of them gave up.
They slept more or less for an hour.
Then, they reached the 40th floor.
They saw that two people were already waiting inside.
The man and the woman seemed to be a couple, and when the three of them came in, the two of them seemed to be about to kiss.
Wang Wen said, “There are still a few minutes before the level begins. You may continue, just ignore us. ”
After that, he threw his backpack on the ground and fell asleep.
A smart tower climber would seize the opportunity to rest at any relatively safe time.
So Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo also sat down, stretched, and yawned.
The young couple stopped kissing.
The man stood up and walked forward.
About two meters away, Wang Wen, who was sound asleep, suddenly said, “If you go any further, you might be killed by my trap.”
Zhu Xingguo stood up and looked at the man warily.
The man quickly stopped moving and spread his hands awkwardly. “I don’t mean any harm.”
Ren Ruoruo yawned and said, “Then why did you come over? We’re all strangers. If you have something to say, just say it. ”
The man introduced himself. “My name is Zhang Wei. You guys came in together. You’ve already formed a team, right? ”
Ren Ruoruo grunted and looked at him suspiciously as she waited for the next part.
“That’s great!” Zhang Wei clapped his hands excitedly. He turned around and gestured, “That’s my girlfriend, Zhang Lanlan. The two of us have been bumping into each other for so long that we’re tired of it. It’s not easy for us to finally meet a professional team on the 40th floor! Let’s work together. I believe we’ll pass this stage smoothly.”
Ren Ruoruo and Zhu Xingguo looked at each other and nodded. They got up and said, “My name is Ah Yan, and his name is Sha Zhouleng. That’s our captain, Mr. A.”
Zhang Wei’s face darkened when he realized what had happened. “You do not even want to reveal your name?”
“You mentioned the word professional just now.” Ren Ruoruo smiled. “That’s called professional! And I suggest that you don’t use your real name in the future to save everyone from embarrassment.”
Zhang Wei was stunned.
He shook his head.
He said disapprovingly, “I think that people should maintain some basic trust between each other, or else the world will be doomed.”
That sentence made Wang Wen, who was sleeping, raise his head to look at him.
His eyes were full of curiosity.
The drone flew over and asked everyone about the distribution of rewards.
Zhang Wei said casually, “We’ll split it evenly. No one will be at a disadvantage. ”
Wang Wen smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
Zhu Xingguo said in a muffled voice, “Splitting it equally is the biggest injustice.”
Wang Wen said, “I have no problem splitting the points and rewards equally, but whoever finds the item first will get it.”
Zhang Wei clapped his hands. “Of course, then let’s begin!”
“The 40th floor, begins.”
The fog dispersed, and a brownish-gray plain appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Rotting human-shaped zombies were wandering around on the plain.
The closest zombie discovered their location, and its eyes glowed red with excitement as it staggered over.
Wang Wen took out a shotgun and aimed.
Zhang Wei stopped it. “Don’t shoot! The gunshots will attract other monsters!”
Wang Wen glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and lowered his gun, waiting to see how he would deal with it.
Zhang Wei proudly raised his chin at his girlfriend. He rushed up to the zombie alone and kicked it.
Then, the zombie hugged his leg.
Zhang Wei’s expression instantly changed from pride to surprise.
The zombie’s body was unexpectedly strong, and its movements were more agile than he had imagined.
It hugged his leg and bit down without saying a word.
The wound bled.
Zhang Wei cried out in pain. He struggled for a long time but could not break free.
Wang Wen and the other two looked at each other.
Just as they were about to help, Zhang Wei’s girlfriend, Zhang Lanlan, took out a big wrench and smashed it onto the zombie’s head.
A loud and heavy blow.
The zombie was smashed so hard that its entire upper body was thrown back.
Zhang Lanlan held the wrench with both hands and jumped up high, aiming at the zombie’s head.
Bang!
The wrench was embedded in the zombie’s skull.
It fell backward and scratched the wrench, trying to pull it out.
Unfortunately, it did not seem to have enough intelligence, so it could not pull it out after scratching for a long time.
Zhu Xingguo felt sorry for it, so he cut off its neck.
The zombie twitched a few times and stopped moving.
Wang Wen and the other two thought that everything had come to an end.
To their surprise, the scene that stunned them had just begun.
After Zhang Lanlan pulled the wrench out of the zombie’s head, she scolded Zhang Wei, “Are you an idiot? Do you think you’re a hero rushing up like that? ”
The three onlookers were dumbfounded.
She was his girlfriend!
It was rude of her to scold her boyfriend.
She did not care whether there were outsiders around or if her boyfriend’s leg was still bleeding profusely.
However, Zhang Wei also behaved like a man.
Similarly, he did not care that his wound was still bleeding profusely. He opened his mouth and scolded, “You’re the stupid one. Your whole family is stupid! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to come to the World Tower to take risks. Wouldn’t it be nice for me to be a doctor in a hospital, safe and happy?”
Zhang Lanlan raised the wrench and sneered, “How long have you been a doctor? How much money have you saved? If you continue to live like that, when can we get married? ”
Zhang Wei also sneered, “No matter how slow it takes, I’ll still be safe. One day, we’ll be able to save enough money. If we keep coming to the World Tower, we might die here one day. When that time comes, you can marry a dog! ”
Zhang Lanlan did not seem to be able to win against him. She began to pinch him. She even pinched the wound on his leg.
Wang Wen and the other two were shocked. They were hesitating about whether they should step forward to stop the fight.
At the very least, they had to tell them that that was a checkpoint. If they wanted to fight, could they leave and fight at home?
More importantly, Wang Wen vaguely remembered that they were very affectionate at the start of the level.
They were about to hug and kiss each other.
How did they end up arguing like that in the blink of an eye?
Was that how young couples got along 20 years ago?
Before he could figure it out, Zhang Wei seemed to be in so much pain that he nearly lost his mind. He raised his hand and slapped Zhang Lanlan.
That was great.
He had poked a hornet’s nest.
Zhang Lanlan covered her face with one hand and cried. The other hand started to scratch Zhang Wei’s face like a living corpse.
As she cried, she screamed, “I knew it! I knew it! You haven’t felt anything for me in a long time! You said that you stayed in the hospital for safety reasons, but I think you just wanted to flirt with those young nurses! ”
Zhang Wei dodged her finger and shouted, “You’re crazy! You still want to climb the World Tower! ”
Damn it!
Wang Wen and the other two looked at each other silently.
They thought to themselves.
‘That person even knows that he’s climbing the tower!’
Before the three of them could think further, Zhang Wei suddenly unleashed his ultimate move.
They saw that a finger had accidentally hit him, and a gash instantly appeared on his face. He was enraged. He slapped his girlfriend’s wrist and shouted, “What about you? Do you think that I don’t know that you’ve been sleeping with your boss, you f*cking piece of sh*t! He’s an old man, you f*cking piece of sh*t!”
