Tier 2 Upper Camp
....
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhao Yu entered the sky-piercing tower, where the interior spanned roughly a hundred meters in length and width, surrounded by tightly sealed metal sheets, obscuring any view of the outside.
As the main door closed, the floor shook slightly beneath him, followed by a sensation of upward movement, akin to an elevator ascending.
Moments later, the Super Brain scanned and a.n.a.lyzed their situation, providing a conclusion that startled Zhao Yu.
Although it seemed like they were in an elevator, they were actually in a light capture channel, moving at a speed of 500 kilometers per second.
Despite the feeling of continuous ascent, the super-brain deduced that they had already moved horizontally from one side of the planet’s interior to the other.
Was the second-tier upper camp this far?!
When Zhao Yu had first seen the sky-piercing tower, he thought that the second-tier upper camp was directly above the lower camp.
Now, it appeared that the distance between the two camps was quite substantial; half a minute had pa.s.sed, meaning they had traveled tens of thousands of kilometers.
To put it in perspective, the diameter of Earth Origin Star was only about 25,000 kilometers.
Almost another minute pa.s.sed, during which the super-brain indicated that their speed had decreased.
Finally, two minutes after entering the Tower, the floor shook again, the feeling of ascent vanished, and the main door opened.
“Let’s go!”
Zhao Yu led the others out of the light elevator, casually glancing around to find that the architectural style here was similar to that of the camp. Not far ahead, there were several tables and chairs, seating about forty to fifty people.
“Brother Yu, look, there’s a sign here!”
Hao Yu Wei soon noticed a sign closest to them.
Zhao Yu looked closely, and it read: “Waiting Area, No Noise, No Inquiries, No Random Movement, Await Guidance.”
There were eight signs, evenly distributed around, each in front of a delineated area marked by a yellow line.
Following the yellow line back, Zhao Yu realized there were eight light elevators similar to the main gate of the sky-piercing tower; they were just one of them.
Each light elevator’s main door bore a symbol.
Looking closely, the stairway they were on was marked with the word ‘Zhen’. There were two stairways on the left, marked with the words’Qian’,’Kun’, and on the right were’Xun’,’Kan’,’Li’,’Gen’, and’Dui’.
This meant that there were at least seven other worlds like them.
“Brother Yu, is this a Tier 2 camp? Why does it feel so strange compare to our camp…” Yang Hui Yan couldn’t help but mutter.
She had also thought of many situations when she went to the Tier 2 camp, but she had never encountered such peaceful situation. There were dozens of people sitting in the hall and some just walked pa.s.s them without talking to them.
“It should be. It’s impossible for…”
Zhao Yu realize that the dozens of people opposite him were almost all middle-aged and old people. There was not a single young person.
Especially the five people sitting in the front row. Their white hair fluttered in the wind, and they looked to be in their seventies or eighties.
At this moment, one of the five elders suddenly walked up to them.
“He’s from the Zhen Word Realm. The previous Li Tian Ba came here four months ago. Another two groups came about two months ago and a new group again…”
As these words fell, most of the people who were initially looking this way seemed to lose interest. They bowed their heads, either fiddling with their phones or leaning over their computers doing something.
“They must be independent party, anyone can go recruit them…”
Someone spoke halfway when the light elevator suddenly shook again.
“Someone else is coming up?!”
Those who were doing their own business stood up and looking towards the light elevator next to Zhao Yu and his group.
The group opposite was gesturing silently, and the sign did not permit them to move around randomly. Zhao Yu and his group dared not act recklessly, and waited the neighboring light elevator that was also trembling.
“Buzz-!”
In just a few seconds, the trembling stopped and the doors opened, revealing several figures walking out.
“Is this the second-tier camp?!”
“Finally made it up…”
Compared to Zhao Yu and his group, the newcomers were quite talkative.
Hao Yu Wei couldn’t help but feel a bit of schadenfreude, leaning over to Zhao Yu and whispering with a giggle: “Brother Yu, do you think they’ll be punished?!”
She was referring to the notices on the sign, as this was the second-tier camp after all, and they had just ascended, definitely being the weakest fighter here. “Quiet!”
Sure enough, the boisterous state of the group wrinkled the brows of five elderly individuals sitting across.
Without needing them to speak, a middle-aged man in the second row stood up and spoke out softly.
Though his words seeming light, resounded like thunder in everyone’s ears.
Even Zhao Yu felt his hair stand on end and took a step back, almost unable to resist drawing his sword.
Hao Yu Wei and Yang Hui Yan shivered and hid behind Zhao Yu and Yu Tie Jun.
A moment later, she realized that the other party was just intimidate them, and she muttered quietly, “It was them who were noisy, why did he shout at us too…”
Indeed, the people who came out from the ‘Kun’ realm light elevator quieted down significantly.
Zhao Yu noticed that the people from the ‘Kun’ realm light elevator, like them, were mostly young people, except for one who either looked prematurely aged or really was a middle-aged bald man.
This made Zhao Yu wonder, could it be that upper camp no longer had a time limit?!
Previously, in the first-tier area, there was a time limit; if one did not advance to the second-tier upper camp within a year, they would be eliminated by the system..
