Civilization Paradise

Chapter 10 Leveling Up by Fighting Monsters

At this moment, a shrewd-looking man wearing a light gray T-shirt and with a buzz cut saw Long Ming turn and leave alone. His eyes lit up, and he said to the players he had just met beside him.

"Brother, did you see that person who left?"

"I saw it, what's wrong, Gu Yi?"

"Anyone who dares to leave alone at this critical juncture is usually a master. Let's follow him!"

Gu Yi shared his thoughts.

"That makes sense, let's go!"

The players agreed with Gu Yi's analysis.

They immediately followed Long Ming.

At this moment, many players saw Gu Yi and his group leave with Long Ming and quickly spoke to the people next to them.

"Look, someone is leading a group away! Let's follow them!"

"it is good!"

In a short time, a large number of players followed Long Ming and left due to the "leading sheep effect".

Of course, not all players followed Long Ming and left; only about a hundred people left.

Qin Yan gazed in the direction Long Ming had left, a thoughtful expression on his face.

At this moment, a muscular man with dark skin and stubble lowered his voice and asked Qin Yan.

Should we follow them?

"No, Xie Shan, let's go the other way!"

Qin Yan then left with his companions.

Seeing Qin Yan and the others leave, Lin Yue quickly followed behind them.

Many female players at the scene saw this and followed suit.

The remaining players split into two groups and left in different directions.

Not long after, at the edge of the ruins, Long Ming looked back with a puzzled expression on his face. He didn't understand why so many people were following him.

Of course, he didn't dwell on it too much. After all, there are advantages to having more people. If there is danger, as long as he can outrun them, that's fine.

However, the moment Long Ming stepped out of the ruins, he frowned as he looked into the distance.

The rolling yellow sand stretched to the horizon, with no end in sight.

The dry air churned like heat waves under the sun's rays.

For a moment, Long Ming didn't know which way to go.

Gu Yi and the others also stopped. They looked at Long Ming, who was not leaving, and were a little suspicious, but they didn't dare to come up and ask.

However, Long Ming quickly made a decision. Since he didn't know where to go, he decided to go to the nearest evacuation point first and see what it looked like.

He raised his wristband to glance at the map, confirmed the approximate location of the nearest green dot, and then headed towards the evacuation point.

Long Ming stepped onto the scorching yellow sand, and each step felt somewhat strenuous.

However, he remained patient and continued to move forward step by step.

Seeing this, Gu Yi and the others quickly followed.

Several tens of minutes later, the players following behind Long Ming started discussing among themselves.

"Holy crap, where is this guy going?"

"do not know."

"Could he be leading us astray because he doesn't know the way?"

"Why don't you go and ask?"

"I dont go."

Long Ming naturally heard the players behind him talking, but he didn't pay any attention to it and kept walking forward.

Just as everyone's patience was about to reach its limit, a circular mechanical platform appeared in the unchanging desert ahead.

The entire mechanical platform looked out of place with its environment.

At this moment, Gu Yi and the others immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.

"This is the evacuation point!"

"Damn, after all that, they brought us to the evacuation point."

"I thought we were going somewhere else."

Other players were speechless when they saw the evacuation platform.

"Since I'm already here, I'll give it a try!"

At this moment, a male player excitedly ran onto the mechanical platform.

The moment he stepped on it, the intricate patterns on the bottom of the mechanical platform glowed faintly, and then the player's bracelet vibrated, displaying a prompt: "Evacuate?"

"Evacuate."

The player clicked it without even thinking.

hum~
The mechanical platform was activated, and the player began to float up little by little, shouting in bewilderment.

"Wow, wow, I'm flying!"

The next second, he transformed into a beam of white light and disappeared.

Many players at the scene shook their heads and cursed upon seeing this.

"Idiot, what a waste of a test paper."

Long Ming was speechless; he hadn't expected someone to actually demonstrate it for him.

But this is good, now he knows exactly how to evacuate.

But the road ahead will be difficult.

Long Ming surveyed the surrounding desert. Visually, it seemed the same no matter which direction he went. Without the mini-map on his wristband, it would be easy to get lost.

Of course, Long Ming didn't care about getting lost or not. He didn't have any goals to begin with, so he continued walking forward.

Seeing that Long Ming continued to walk forward, Gu Yi and the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

Time passed second by second.

Long Ming was sweating profusely and his mouth was dry, so he unconsciously slowed down.

He glanced at his status on the bracelet and found that he had several negative notifications.

"Tip: You are slightly dehydrated. Please drink fresh water as soon as possible."

"Notification: Physical fitness has declined."

At this point, many of the following players couldn't take it anymore, and several of them collapsed to the ground.

"I'm not going anymore, I can't walk any further."

Long Ming gazed into the distance, where the sand dunes stretched as far as the eye could see, so he stopped to rest for a while.

At this moment, Gu Yi couldn't help but step forward and ask Long Ming.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"I don't know, I'll just go wherever I end up."

Long Ming replied calmly.

Gu Yi's eyes widened when he heard Long Ming's words, and he was about to say something about when.

Suddenly, a surprised shout rang out.

"Wow!"

Long Ming and the others turned to look and saw a player who wasn't very tall and had some pimples on his face, leading two companions excitedly toward the sand dune on the left.

On that sand dune lay a red-spotted monitor lizard, over three meters long, with gray skin covered in red bumps, its eyes closed in hibernation, looking quite eerie.

"Zhao Wei, is this alright?"

The two companions following Zhao Wei spoke up somewhat nervously.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't everything in games about fighting monsters and leveling up? Let's go!"

Without hesitation, Zhao Wei pulled a stone from his backpack, rushed towards the red-spotted monitor lizard, and smashed the stone hard on its head.

Expansion!
With a dull thud, the red-spotted monitor lizard felt a sharp pain, slowly opened its eyes, stood up, and then opened its blood-red maw, letting out an angry roar.

roar~
Zhao Wei was also frightened by the realistic scene, and turned to run away trembling.

At that moment, the red-spotted monitor lizard exerted its strength in an instant, took a step forward, pounced, and bit Zhao Wei's waist.

"Ouch, it hurts! Help!"

Zhao Wei immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream, instinctively calling for help.

At this point, Zhao Wei's two companions dared not go up and turned to run away in terror.

Long Ming's expression also changed slightly. He looked at the red-spotted giant lizard warily, showing no intention of going up to help.

Click!

The red-spotted monitor lizard suddenly bit Zhao Wei's body into two pieces, and blood and bits of flesh flew everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Wei's shattered body began to turn into light particles, and his backpack fell off.

"Run!"

Gu Yi and the others were immediately frightened and ran forward in terror.
