Tian Yu and Youzi quickened their pace, and both felt the pressure in their hearts.

The opening of the copy is like a time node, and what the two people will face at that time may change.

Although it was the first time for the two to work together, they cooperated very well. Relying on Yuzu's reconnaissance robot, they avoided many dangers along the way.

"Are you good at making robots?" Tian Yu asked with some envy as he watched Youzi control those reconnaissance robots with ease.

"Everyone has something they are good at." Yuzu seemed reluctant to reveal too much about herself.

Tian Yu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She didn't know when her robot would be able to complete the transformation. The important thing was that she had four such cores.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the originally clear sky began to gradually darken.

Tian Yu stopped and looked up at the sky: "How many kilometers are we away from Wuling?"

"About eighty." Yuzu panted and threw a piece of chocolate into her mouth. For her body, the high-intensity journey was still a bit exhausting.

His brows furrowed more and more tightly: "Route your reconnaissance robot to this area."

Tian Yu motioned for Youzi to look at the map she had drawn in the system: "Explore along the original road, we will change the route."

"Do you want to drive?" Youzi understood what Tian Yu meant.

The two were originally going straight through the ruins, but now Tian Yu intended to change route and enter the edge of the Wuling Mountains and drive away from there.

"We can't get out," Tian Yu pointed to the sky, "It's going to rain."

"Even if it rains we can..." Before she could finish her words, Youzi saw that Tian Yu's face was more serious than ever before.

"What do you mean?" Yuzu also began to panic.

"At that time, hundreds of federal soldiers blew up different locations in Wuling. Some of these places were important transportation routes, and some were large buildings." Tian Yu took a deep breath.

When she saw the weather change, she realized, "Do you remember the school near where you were buried?"

"The vines there grow especially densely..." Yuzu seemed to understand something and looked at the sky which was beginning to darken.

"The center points of these explosions all have one characteristic, which is that they are areas where water is concentrated. The rain in Wuling has not fallen since I entered the copy." Tian Yu looked at the quiet vines around him.

"It has never rained in Wuling since I entered the dungeon..." Yuzu immediately walked towards the direction of their second plan without any hesitation.

What Tian Yu admires most about Youzi at the moment is her courage to make decisive decisions.

The original plan of the two was to go through the Five Ridges and reach the gorge directly. This plan was the shortest and fastest way. If nothing unexpected happened, if the two of them went at full speed, they would leave the Five Ridges shortly after the copy was opened.

But the weather now is an accident.

The remaining two plans will lengthen the journey, but will actually be a little safer.

Now the two of them are implementing the second plan - changing the route and going directly to the undestroyed edge of the Wuling Mountains, finding a car there, taking a detour into other towns around the Wuling Mountains, and looking for other ways to pass through the gorge at the expense of speed.

If you want to go through the gorge to the safe area behind, you can't bypass the Five Ridges.

This city was built on the edge of a mountain range, so the surrounding towns are mostly scattered among the mountains. The federal technology is sufficient to build many winding mountain roads.

Since it is impossible to cross the Five Ridges, we have to find a way to go around behind the Five Ridges by other routes.

The two changed direction and began walking towards the edge of the nearest Wuling City.

"At this speed, we won't be able to get out before the rain." Tian Yu took out the bloody sword and tied it to his hand.

Yuzu also felt the pressure. Looking at the dark clouds above her head, it was hard not to suspect that this was part of the federation's plan.

The location of the Wuling Mountains does not seem like it would last more than a month without rain. Now it seems that this may be the result of the federal government's continued control.

Once the heavy rain falls, those plants that can feed on flesh and blood will begin to grow wildly. This long-planned heavy rain will make their growth rate reach the set target in an instant.

At the same time, heavy rain will block people's vision and cause the vines to destroy the original road.

"According to Tian Yu, the towns around Wuling were not destroyed. There may be other crises there, but facing the Zerg is better than facing the overwhelming vines." This was Yuzu's decision.

Looking at the footage sent back by the reconnaissance robot, Yuzu said, "We are still ten kilometers away from the nearest intact road. There is a pickup truck there."

"Can you drive?" Tian Yu clenched the sword in his hand. This thing would be more useful than hot weapons to deal with vines.

"Yes," Yuzu answered confidently, "but I must tell you that my own combat abilities have obvious shortcomings."

"How long will it take before the copy opens?" Tian Yu interrupted Youzi.

The other party understood and the communication came into the system.

"For example?" The two had to be prepared for heavy rain before leaving Wuling. At the same time, it was unknown what kind of battle they would face if they changed the route and used the vehicle.

In such a huge Wuling, are there only two players?

"Once sequence players open certain hidden tasks in the dungeon or have some opportunities of their own, they can evolve their own strength." Yuzu no longer concealed it.

"But as evolution proceeds, there may be some side effects, which we call defects in the sequence code."

"This defect is not impossible to make up for, but if you want to be the best in some aspects, you have to make sacrifices."

Listening to Youzi's explanation, Tian Yu seemed to understand that each sequence player was evolving his own system, but it certainly could not cover everything, just like the player he killed.

"My weakness is my ability to use cold weapons and the accuracy of hot weapons." Youzi told Tian Yu about her own situation.

Tian Yu smiled slightly. No wonder she was so short of points and had so many robots at the same time. "But your robots can make up for the shortcomings in combat, right?"

"Okay, but I'm fragile." Yuzu shrugged.

"Cybermage, good at using the fragile skin of robots." Tian Yu gave Yuzi an entry in his mind.

The two of them quickened their pace again. A reconnaissance robot was already waiting next to a pickup truck, and the rest of the robots that had scattered out were also speeding back to Yuzu.

"Luckily, I'm pretty good at fighting." Tian Yu responded, looking at Youzi's serious expression.

"One more thing." The two had reached the edge of the road, and the pickup truck was just ahead.

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky had already turned completely dark. The two had to rely on night vision goggles to move forward on the road.

The smell of humidity and pressure began to permeate the air.

Yuzu's body tensed, and a barely perceptible light flashed in her hand.

"Come out." A gun suddenly appeared in Tian Yu's empty left hand, and he fired straight at the ruins more than 30 meters behind him.
