Chapter 144: Chapter 143: Survival in the Wild or Landing in a Coffin? “` Perhaps it was the presence of a Nymph companion, or maybe it was the system upgrade. In any case, for Fang Zheng, this time the time travel wasn’t as unbearable as before. However…… “It’s so hot.” When Fang Zheng opened his eyes, the first thing he said was to complain about the climate here. A moment ago they were still in the deep mountains where the snow roared, and now they had ended up in a boundless tropical rainforest, surrounded by dense green vegetation. The stifling heat in the air was somewhat unbearable, but fortunately, Fang Zheng only grumbled for a bit. After undergoing the Zerg transformation, his body could almost withstand the climate changes under various conditions. Apart from the exceedingly extreme climates, essentially nothing could challenge him. Nonetheless, this moist and sweltering sensation was not comfortable at all. As for the Nymph, there was even less to say, Artificial Angel… as long as it didn’t threaten her own existence, these minor environmental flaws weren’t a problem at all. “Nymph, scan our surroundings.” “Yes, Master.” Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s command, the Nymph nodded, then stretched out her hand to her ear. Immediately after, a flash of azure light glowed in the Nymph’s eyes once more. “Current temperature 29 degrees, relative humidity 90%, no harmful gas detected… suitable for life and human survival… Also, Master, this is not Earth.” “Oh?” Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ƝοѵǤօ.с0 Upon hearing the Nymph’s reply, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows. “Not Earth?” “That’s correct. According to the gravitational and magnetic field analysis, this is not Earth.” “That’s really interesting……” While saying this, Fang Zheng looked up above him where the dense rainforest hid everything from view. However, he didn’t care; on the contrary, he was more curious about what world he had come to. Not Earth, but with an environment similar to Earth, Fang Zheng’s first thought was “Avatar,” but after thinking it over, he negated this idea, since Avatar’s setting contained toxic gases, and he didn’t feel any toxins here. Moreover, the vegetation in the world of Avatar looked even stranger, while the plants here, at least on the surface… looked pretty normal. After all, Fang Zheng was not a botanist, so naturally, he couldn’t discern anything particularly strange about the plants here. “Master, there are people coming!” Just then, the Nymph suddenly had a change in expression and then spoke to alert him. Hearing her, Fang Zheng smoothly drew the Sky-Cleaving Sword from the void and turned to look to the side. In fact, even without the Nymph’s reminder, he had already sensed several life forms approaching their location. Not only that, those people seemed to be… fully armed? “Get behind me.” While speaking, Fang Zheng casually cast a couple of protective magic spells on the Nymph. The Nymph obediently hid behind Fang Zheng, vigilantly watching the front. Soon, under their watchful eyes, several figures walked out of the forest, and upon seeing Fang Zheng and the Nymph, the people on the other side were also taken aback. A few of them even hurriedly raised their guns, aiming at the two. “Hey, hold your fire!” Seeing the action of her companions, a woman with braids holding a sniper rifle quickly raised her hand to stop them. Perhaps because Fang Zheng and the Nymph looked too inoffensive, the others just became tense for a moment before lowering their weapons. “Hey, buddy.” Following that, one of them waved at Fang Zheng and the Nymph. “Looks like we’ve found two more companions.” “Companions?” Hearing this word, Fang Zheng squinted his eyes and scanned the group. There were eight of them, mostly white, with one Black and one Asian person. Their attire was a mix, with some wearing wilderness combat suits, some in prison clothes, and others in T-shirts and jackets. Almost all of them were carrying weapons, with even one man wielding a heavy machine gun… “That’s right.” Perhaps because Fang Zheng and the Nymph appeared rather weak and harmless, the only female among the eight people kindly stepped forward to explain to them. “You guys came from the sky, right? How about it, want to join us?” The sky? Hearing the woman’s question, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but raise his head to scan the sky. Isn’t this supposed to be a wilderness survival situation? When did it turn into a battle royale? “` “Of course,” Even though strange thoughts were swirling in his mind, Fang Zheng still nodded. He had yet to figure out which world this was. In fact, Fang Zheng had taken the opportunity to size everyone up but couldn’t find any familiar faces. That wasn’t surprising, since he never really remembered actors when watching movies; often, unless someone had distinctive features, he simply couldn’t tell them apart. Like Natalie Portman, for example… Say her name and I recognize her, show me a picture and I can’t tell the difference between her and Emma Watson. Among this group, the only person who seemed vaguely familiar to Fang Zheng was the man leading them. He had a pair of bushy eyebrows and a face that looked as though he owed money he could never pay back, twisting into an expression that spelled embarrassment. It seemed somewhat familiar to Fang Zheng, suggesting that he must have seen something from this world before, whether it was a movie or a game—it certainly couldn’t be an animation. After all, the people here were too ugly for that. Under the lead of Big Nose with the embarrassed expression, the group continued forward, seeking a high point to at least ascertain where they were. Following behind with Nymph, Fang Zheng had learned from her that this wasn’t Earth, but he still didn’t know what kind of world this was. Since Big Nose’s appearance struck a chord with him, suggesting he might be the protagonist, Fang Zheng followed him to first understand the origins of this world and then make a decision. Along the way, by chatting with others, Fang Zheng also figured out what was happening with them. They had all been going about their business around the world and then, for some unknown reason, ended up here. And when they had opened their eyes, they were falling from the sky, equipped with nothing but parachutes and the weapons they had on them… Yep, this was sounding more and more like they were all boxed in. However, until now, Fang Zheng still hadn’t worked out what kind of world this was. Perhaps that’s also why the system hadn’t issued any quests to him yet. After all, the previous times quests were released, they were based on Fang Zheng’s knowledge of the world. Now, since Fang Zheng didn’t know which world this was, the system had not issued any quests—considering another angle, maybe the system was worried that releasing a quest would spoil the plot? This damn system sure had a twisted sense of humor. Does it not realize the fate that awaits Arthas? Under Big Nose’s lead, the group emerged from the forest and came upon a rocky mountain area. They were all exhausted and sat down to rest. That’s when Braids approached Big Nose, who had somewhat assumed the role of their leader during the journey. “What do you think is actually going on here?” Standing by Big Nose’s side, Braids furrowed his brow and stared at the leaves floating on the water before them, which they had intended to use to determine their direction. But, unexpectedly, not only did the leaves fail to offer any guidance, they were spinning crazily out of control. By now, even someone as slow on the uptake as Braids had realized that this place was more complicated than it seemed. “What do I think?” On hearing Braids’ question, Big Nose turned around and swept his gaze over the people behind them. “Alpha Squad, Drug Cartel, United Front, Sierra Leone Assassination Squad, Japanese Mafia, and the FBI’s most wanted… and those three,” While speaking, Big Nose cast a dismissive glance at Fang Zheng, Nymph, and the man wearing glasses, then turned back to Braids. “Don’t you find it odd? Every one of us is exceptionally skilled, yet only those three are the exception. And that girl, I don’t know exactly who she is, but just look at what she’s wearing on her ears and her clothes, that’s not how ordinary people look. Moreover… I always feel that there’s something off about those two,” “You mean that man and the little girl?” Hearing Big Nose’s words, Braids glanced over at Fang Zheng and Nymph. He had to admit that these two indeed stood out among the group. Fang Zheng was dressed in a suit he had tailor-made in the Edge of Tomorrow World, while Nymph wore her original battle garb she had had on when summoned. This contrasted sharply with the others, who were scruffy and disheveled. “Yes,” Big Nose nodded his head. “Haven’t you noticed? Every one of us is uneasy about finding ourselves in this strange place, but those two seem quite calm, as if they’ve come here just to find a place to travel… isn’t that rather unreasonable?” “You mean they…” Tense with the implications of Big Nose’s analysis, Braids spoke up. “They have a problem? Could it be they are the ones who threw us here?” “I didn’t say that,” Big Nose shook his head. “Look carefully, they’re just as unfamiliar with this place as we are, only they’re not as nervous as we are. This means either they’re not right in the head, or…” “Or what?” “Or, they have sufficient strength and confidence that they are sure they can easily deal with any danger they encounter.” As he spoke, Big Nose cast a meaningful glance at Fang Zheng and Nymph. “But honestly, I don’t know if that’s a good thing.”
