Chapter 82: Out Of Kindness
Yao Shi’s speed was incredible. It was breakneck.
In addition, he was also very energetic. He ran almost the entire kilometer at that speed.
Standing at the entrance of the finish line, even though he was full of energy, after sprinting at full speed for a kilometer, Yao Shi’s lips were a little pale.
However, he was delighted.
Looking at Wang Wen, who was only about two-thirds of the way to the finish line, he waved his arms excitedly and shouted, “Go, Captain! Hang in there! There are less than 300 meters left!”
Hearing the shout, Wang Wen raised his hand in a friendly manner. He continued to adjust his breathing and did not say another word.
Zhu Xingguo was the second to reach the finish line. He felt that Yao Shi was jumping too much. He frowned and said, “Are you mocking Captain Wang? Keep a low profile, young man. It’s not worth it to provoke the captain to kick you out of the team.”
Yao Shi’s high spirits dimmed. He was stunned for a moment before retorting with slight displeasure, “Don’t spout nonsense. I’m cheering for Captain! It’s purely out of kindness!”
Zhu Xingguo nodded. “That’s good to know.”
After saying that, he paced back and forth at the entrance to adjust his state and did not continue on that topic.
Yao Shi secretly glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. He pursed his lips and snorted.
The third place, Ren Ruoruo, had also reached the finish line.
Her physical strength was slightly weaker. Once she reached the line, she fell to the ground and shouted, “I’m so tired.”
Yao Shi giggled and went forward with the kettle. Ren Ruoruo drank some boiled water, and her spirit was somewhat restored.
Everyone brought their own drinking water and rations. That level was more or less dependent on each person’s physical strength.
In the World Tower, no one would take the initiative to help others bear the burden of supplies. They were only responsible for themselves.
However, they could use their own supplies to help others.
For example, Zhu Xingguo, after waiting for Wang Wen to run to the finish line finally, quickly handed him a cup of his own drinking water.
The water was room temperature, so Wang Wen could drink it immediately.
Wang Wen did not stand on ceremony. He took the cup and drank it in one gulp before leading everyone to the entrance.
He ran at a constant pace according to the speed of the mechanism. When he reached the finish line, the killing mechanism was almost there. There was no time to waste. They could talk after they reached the next level.
Light and shadow swirled in front of them.
The four stood on the 23rd floor of their World Tower journey.
“What good luck!”
That was the first sentence that came out of Yao Shi’s mouth after he saw the checkpoint.
He was so excited that he even jumped on the spot.
“Why is it a speed mechanism again? I can’t run anymore…”
That was what Ren Ruoruo said in a coy tone.
No one knew why she behaved like that.
However, she did not look like she could not run.
Zhu Xingguo did not speak.
He turned to look at Wang Wen with a solemn expression.
Meanwhile, Wang Wen seemed calm.
He was already used to it.
It was that kind of calmness that made Zhu Xingguo let down his guard. He did not doubt whether there was anything wrong with running into the speed mechanism twice in a row.
He even asked Wang Wen, “Captain, you look tired. Do you need me to help you carry anything for you?”
When Wang Wen heard that, he turned around and looked at Zhu Xingguo. He smiled and said, “Okay, thank you very much.”
Yao Shi, who was not far away, saw the two of them putting their arms around each other’s shoulders and moving their backpacks and other items. He curled his lips in disdain and said to Ren Ruoruo, “I’ll help you carry some things too, okay?”
Ren Ruoruo looked at Wang Wen and Zhu Xingguo.
She rolled her eyes, but she rejected Yao Shi’s good intentions.
She smiled at him and shook her head. Then, she took the lead and ran toward the finish line.
Yao Shi shrugged indifferently.
He rushed out like an arrow!
He could still run swiftly.
He ran far ahead.
Wang Wen repeatedly sighed. “It’s so good to be young.”
Then, he waited until the mechanism was activated before he started running.
Zhu Xingguo ran not far in front of him with concern. From time to time, he would turn his head to look at the killing mechanism that was almost close to the captain’s back. His eyes were filled with worry.
Wang Wen noticed his gaze and nodded with a smile. He quickened his pace and distanced himself from the trap a little.
After all, as the captain, even if he could not lead by example, he had to be at least considerate.
He could not always let his followers worry.
Two minutes passed quickly.
Yao Shi was still the first to run to the finish line. He stood at the entrance, panting with a pale face.
He did not jump.
He did not have much energy to jump.
It was equivalent to sprinting two kilometers at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
At that moment, his lungs were about to explode. He did not have the time to cheer for anyone.
Ren Ruoruo was the second to arrive.
The woman was drenched in sweat.
After arriving at the finish line, she did not lie down and act coquettishly like last time.
Instead, she knelt in a daze.
In the end, Zhu Xingguo, Wang Wen, and the killing mechanism arrived.
The four did not say anything and went straight into the entrance.
The 24th floor.
The speed mechanism again!
They looked at the familiar scene in front of them.
Yao Shi was dumbfounded.
He was drooling like a retard.
‘Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?’
Ren Ruoruo’s eyes were also a little dazed.
Zhu Xingguo, on the other hand, followed the usual practice.
He turned his head to look at Wang Wen with a solemn expression.
However, he discovered the other party’s expression.
The young man was still as calm as ever.
Zhu Xingguo was shocked!
He pulled Ren Ruoruo beside him to look at the captain. They were both shocked.
As expected, when Ren Ruoruo’s dazed eyes saw Wang Wen’s calm expression, they were also bright and spirited.
Both of them felt burning worship in their hearts at the same time.
It was as they had expected of their captain! He could remain so calm even after they encountered the speed mechanism for the third time in a row! It seemed like he would still remain calm even when a mountain collapsed!
It was not their fault for overreacting.
The World Tower had existed for so long, and it was rare to hear the same level appearing three times in a row.
Anyone who had experienced such a rare phenomenon would be amazed.
How could Wang Wen remain so calm?
Was his heart made of iron?
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo worked together as if they wanted to suck up all the air around them.
They admired Wang Wen’s strength even more.
From that moment on, they were utterly convinced by Wang Wen’s calm and collected attitude.
They made up their minds to follow closely behind the big boss and see what the higher levels looked like, as well as the attitude of the people who stood on the peak of the mountain.
Perhaps they would be as calm too!
The two of them could not avoid that feeling!
Wang Wen was shocked at first.
He was not as mysterious as they thought. If it were anyone else who had experienced eight times of speed mechanism in a row, they would not make a fuss.
They were just used to it.
The killing mechanism did not leave too much time for the four to rest. The activation sound was heard within a minute of entering the checkpoint.
The rumbling power felt so heavy that it made one’s scalp numb.
However, the young man who had previously rushed out like an arrow was gone.
He had turned into one of those four turtles and ran side-by-side with them.
After running for a while, Wang Wen suddenly realized that he could maintain his physical strength.
Zhu Xingguo was steady. Unfortunately, he was carrying the load for two people. At that moment, he was nearly at the end of his rope but was too embarrassed to return it.
Ren Ruoruo had a weaker physique as a woman. She did not conserve much of her strength during the first two rounds, so she was so tired that she rolled her eyes.
As for the warrior who had been running wild during the first two rounds…
At that moment, he was like a dejected dog chased by a deadly mechanism. The edge of his buttocks had started to bleed; no one knew how many times the mechanism had grazed him.
Looking at his almost badly mutilated appearance, Wang Wen could not bear to see it.
Hence, he slowly approached and looked at the finish line in front of him. He kindly encouraged Yao Shi. “Come on! Hang in there! You have only less than 300 meters to go!”
