Words:1930Update:22/06/26 12:28:09
On this day, checkpoint 63 of the Stairway Tree was very crowded.
Initially, there were not many people on this checkpoint as there were less than 500 of them. Usually, less than 80 people would be online during the day. However, due to the monster horde, there were more than 400 people online during the day.
Checkpoint 63, which was usually quiet and one would not bump into anyone on the way, was now extremely crowded.
All the major organizations had formed teams to fight against the bug horde.
Some of the smaller organizations with fewer people on checkpoint 63 also formed teams.
As they fought against the bug horde, hundreds of powerhouses' points skyrocketed on the Stairway Tree leaderboard.
The drastic change on the leaderboard immediately attracted the attention of the members on the other checkpoints.
Only a minority knew that there was a monster horde on checkpoint 63. Most of them were dumbfounded when they saw hundreds of people's points skyrocketing.
"What are these people doing? Why are their points skyrocketing in the day? "
"Are these people triggered by Lin Xie?"
"Wait! Their points skyrocketing in the day? Did they get Lin Xie's point-farming secret book?! "
"I want Lin Xie's point-farming secret book so badly!!!"
After a heated discussion on the forum, someone finally told the truth.
"There's a bug horde on checkpoint 63 during the day. Now, the bosses on checkpoint 63 are organizing teams to fight against the bug horde."
Another wave of discussion arose when the truth was revealed.
"No wonder they're the bosses on checkpoint 63. They can even fight a monster horde during the day."
"Why do I feel a little envious of this special treatment?"
"Envious + 1. I usually don't want to fight a monster horde at night. Could it be that the timing is wrong?"
"Is this the Stairway Tree's new activity? I really want to join it! "
"I want to join the new activity + 1. Please promote it!"
The bug horde on checkpoint 63 lasted until it was almost dark before it finally subsided. With the many powerhouses' hard work, the last line of defense on checkpoint 63 did not fall in the end.
However, a new round of monster horde arrived in less than ten minutes. Not only did the bug horde come this time, but there were also monsters from checkpoints 67 and 71 joining the battle. The overall scale of the monster horde was more than twice as big as it was during the day.
"Again! Is there something wrong with the Stairway Tree? "
"There are twenty-four hours in a day, and now there are twenty-two hours of beast tide erupting. How can people still play?"
"Is this how the Stairway Tree system urges us to break through checkpoint 63 as soon as possible?"
After fighting the bug tide for the whole day, many members on the 63rd floor were exhausted.
However, considering that the Stairway Tree system might have other intentions, most of them chose to stay and fight the monster horde. Even some of them who had gone offline logged back in.
The vast monster army soon arrived again, and the powerhouses on the 63rd checkpoint gritted their teeth and continued to fight against the monster tide.
Naturally, Lin Huang had no idea that he had made such a mistake. He practiced until 11 pm and went to bed. He did not pay attention to what was happening in the Evil Alliance.
If the Evil Alliance System had human emotions, it would be cursing right now.
The defensive battle on the 63rd floor lasted until six o 'clock the next morning before it ended tragically.
Out of the 388 participants, only 31 of them were left. The rest were sent back to the first checkpoint of the Stairway Tree.
Some of the powerhouses fell back to the first checkpoint after they died and climbed back up again. Some even climbed back up more than once and continued to fight the monster horde.
Among the 31 survivors, less than 10 of them did not die even once. The rest climbed back up from the first checkpoint.
The monster horde finally subsided as the sun rose far away.
The powerhouses were either sitting or lying down. They did not care about their image at all.
"It's finally over!"
"That's right. It's so f * cking tiring!"
"I even died once. This is the first time I've died on the Stairway Tree since I joined the Evil Alliance!"
"I didn't say anything even though I died twice."
"I've never experienced such a tiring battle in my life. I suddenly feel like it's great to be alive."
"Should we enter the checkpoint on checkpoint 63 to find out why the bug horde broke out during the day since there's no monster horde now?" Someone suggested all of a sudden.
Everyone fell silent when they heard the suggestion.
A moment later, the chief of the Hong Alliance, Zhu Hong, broke the silence. "I think that's a great suggestion. There must be a reason for the bug horde. If we wait for another two hours and the bug horde breaks out again, we'll have to log out in our current state. Why don't we investigate while there's no bug horde now? "
"I agree with Sister Hong's suggestion. Instead of waiting for things to happen, why don't we initiate the attack?" The chief of the Tang Alliance, Zhang Xiaoshan, nodded in agreement. "We have about two hours to investigate since the bug horde hasn't broken out yet."
"Of course, we won't force everyone to join the investigation. After all, everyone has been fighting for over 20 hours. They're exhausted. "Zhu Hong knew that some of them were unwilling to join." Those who want to join, please raise your hand. "
Zhu Hong was the first to raise her hand. Zhang Xiaoshan was the second without hesitation. Subsequently, a couple of people raised their hands too. They were the people from the Hong Alliance and the Tang Alliance.
The chief of the Heaven Alliance, Chan Dou, had not been online. The deputy chief, Jian Fei, hesitated for a moment but raised his hand anyway. "I'll join too!"
The other three people from the Heaven Alliance raised their hands too.
The chief of the Divine Alliance, Zhong Liyan, smiled and shook his head. "I'm too lazy to join. I'm too tired. I'm going home to sleep."
After the four people from the Heaven Alliance raised their hands, the chiefs of two smaller organizations raised their hands too.
Just like that, Zhu Hong and the rest managed to form a team of 15 people. They headed towards the main branch of the Stairway Tree on checkpoint 63.
Approximately an hour and a half later, Lin Huang logged into the Evil Alliance again after breakfast. He summoned Bloody to locate the Queen Mother while he opened the Evil Alliance's website to check the internal news.
The headline caught his attention again.
'The bosses on checkpoint 63 are crying!'
Lin Huang did not know whether to laugh or to cry after reading the article.
It turned out that the bug horde and the monster horde broke out at the same time, causing the monster horde to last for almost 22 hours yesterday. Many people on checkpoint 63 thought it was an event from the Stairway Tree system, so they bit the bullet and logged in for the entire day. The battle was extremely brutal. Only 31 people survived out of over 400 people who participated in the battle.
"Do they have to work so hard?"
Bloody spoke all of a sudden just when Lin Huang was done reading the article.
"I found a human team with 15 people. Due to their existence, the number of Queen Mothers has increased tremendously. I've only been looking around and I've already found a couple of Queen Mothers. I'm guessing there should be a total of 16 Queen Mothers on the Stairway Tree, including you. "
"Huh?" Lin Huang could not help but be stunned to hear that. "Is that even possible?!"
