Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

"Hiss...a hallucination?"

Lin Yue's pupils contracted sharply, and her arms and legs involuntarily tensed as she tightly wrapped them around a tree branch beneath her. After a long while, she dared to slightly raise her head and look around.

Nothing changed!

There were still a few scattered branches around her, and... and wisps of mist.

She herself was lying on a large tree in an exaggerated posture, or more precisely, on a branch of a large tree.

The branch wasn't thin; it was about a size thicker than her waist. But when someone is high in the air and can only barely support their body with a single branch, the branch seems far too thin, so thin it's heartbreaking.

Her fingernails were almost embedded in her arms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

Lin Yue's attention was entirely focused on her swaying body.

After a while, she finally calmed down a little and began to try to recall what had happened.

She remembered... she was clearly playing games on the bus just now!

With the seven-day National Day holiday plus the time off she could take in in lieu of overtime work, she finally managed to squeeze in a two-week vacation to go back to her hometown for a break. Because the place was quite remote, Lin Yue had to transfer from the train to a bus after getting off the train. While the bus was traveling along the long mountain road, she deliberately dug out an old single-player game to play.

She was having a great time passing through the checkpoints when suddenly her body jolted violently, followed by a dizzying spin. Finally, her head slammed hard against her phone, everything went black, and she lost consciousness.

Oh, right, before she fainted, she seemed to hear everyone on the bus screaming in panic...

So at that time... was there a car accident?

Did he fall off a cliff?

Then you fell into a tree?

But that doesn't make sense! How could the trees at the bottom of the cliff in my hometown grow this tall?

Lin Yue looked down at herself and was immediately overcome with dizziness.

She quickly closed her eyes for a moment, then couldn't help but open them again, stiffening her body as she looked down. The overwhelming visual impact made Lin Yue's heart clench suddenly. Although her hands were trembling uncontrollably from the force, she forced herself not to close her eyes.

After a while, once she had adjusted a little, she was finally able to see some of the ground through the sparse but dazzlingly green leaves.

This is not a cliff, but a mountain, a high mountain.

The shape did resemble the Yangjia Mountain she had passed by in the car, but she was certain that there were no such thick and tall trees on the Yangjia Mountain that she had played on since childhood.

Let alone Yangjia Mountain, such a tall tree would definitely cause a stir online, no matter where it is, but she had never heard of it before.

Could it be that this is not reality at all?

Or was it a hallucination she experienced after being knocked unconscious?

Lin Yue's body was still trembling slightly involuntarily. She tried to think positively and fight against the panic that came from her body's instincts.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from above.

Dear players, welcome to the world of high-altitude survival!

This is a thrilling game, and also your chance for rebirth.

All those who die in a fall from a height will have a second chance in a high-altitude survival game. However, this excludes children under 14 and seniors over 50; they will remain in a protected state until their families are able to awaken them.

Of course, you only get one chance! If you die in the game, it means you will truly die!

You are currently at an altitude of 1,000 meters. The area beneath your feet is your temporary safe zone. The more stable it is, the higher your resilience to risks.

You have a three-day new player protection period during which no danger will actively occur.

Everyone starts with a net, which can be used to retrieve airdropped supplies.

Every day at 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 6:00 PM, supplies will be airdropped. These supplies include, but are not limited to, food, water, daily necessities, medical supplies, and weapons; they will be crucial for your survival in this world.

In addition to scheduled airdrops, random airdrops will also appear from time to time, containing supplies and other items. Players are advised to carefully check the contents.

Try your best to survive, and best of luck to everyone!

The instant the sound vanished, Lin Yue felt a slight coolness on her left wrist. Then, a completely black bracelet, so light it was almost weightless, suddenly appeared on her wrist. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating the bracelet, making it seem as if golden patterns flowed within it. But when she looked closely, the patterns became blurry, as if it were an illusion.

Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat; this suddenly appearing bracelet must be the legendary system panel.

Players can use this bracelet to check their game status, understand their various attributes, and also use it to communicate and interact with other players.

However, Lin Yue dared not make any rash moves at this moment.

Her position at this moment was far from ideal. Below the tree branch was a thousand meters in the air. If she lost her footing in any part of her body, even with the slightest loss of balance, she could be crushed to pieces and turned into mincemeat.

Survival at high altitude! She'd been playing games for so many years, never imagining she could play such a thrilling real-life game after death.

I wonder what kind of person the player will become in this high-altitude survival game? Will they be able to soar through the sky and dive into the earth, disregarding gravity? However, no matter what happens later, for her right now, saving herself is the most urgent task.

The system just mentioned a three-day newbie protection period, during which the branch she was leaning on should be able to support her weight. But Lin Yue herself couldn't bear it!

She didn't know how much time had passed, but she could clearly feel the soreness in her hands and feet. Let alone lasting three days, she probably couldn't even last thirty minutes.

I wonder if there's a good solution within the system's fitness tracker?

However, the moment she released the branch with her left hand, her whole body involuntarily tilted slightly.

No!

Like a frightened bird, Lin Yue quickly clung tightly to the ground again.

Since she couldn't check the bracelet, she had to find another way.

Lin Yue stretched her neck as far as she could, trying to look behind her.

Because his entire body was lying on the tree branch, this movement became extremely difficult.

Although she couldn't see the game panel, she knew perfectly well that no matter what kind of tree it was, the part closer to the trunk would be thicker, and the thicker it was, the safer it would be.

Therefore, as long as she can find a way to move onto the main trunk, or even just to a position close to it, the level of danger will be greatly reduced.

Even if the branch breaks, it's obvious which way she's more likely to survive: falling straight down or sliding down the trunk.

Lin Yue kept adjusting her direction, and just when she felt like her back and neck were about to be torn apart, she finally found the place where the branch under her was connected to the trunk.

There, less than two meters from where she was at that moment!
