There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 94 "Is this... the World Barrier?

The wind rose, clouds surged.

Rather than calling it a tool, the log-cutting sled machine was more fittingly described as a toy, a spectacular plaything for adults.

Under tremendous thrust, the thirty-meter-long, incredibly sharp skids sliced seamlessly through the pine trees at their roots without any impediment.

It was as smooth as cutting butter with a red-hot knife.

Inside the vehicle, one could hardly feel any severe jolts.

Extremely fluid.

And those logs turned into light points were desperately trying to catch up with the log-cutting sled machine sprinting ahead, their mission being to transform into tiny dots and drill into that player's backpack in front.

But they probably never anticipated a day when they couldn't keep up.

The sled's speed was too fast, so much so that it seemed to be outpacing the light points.

The sled had to stop from time to time to ensure those light points could catch up with Chen Yi inside it.

Just over ten minutes.

They were unclear on how many pine trees they had harvested, only aware that the number of logs in their backpacks had far exceeded six figures, which was enough to build an extremely sturdy and safe house.

But that wasn't enough.

Not nearly enough.

As the system announcement indicated, the map was vast enough that even after driving almost at full speed in one direction for over ten minutes, they still hadn't reached the end.

It's worth noting.

Their sled's speed had hit the terrifying mark of a thousand kilometers per hour.

Under such circumstances, even ten minutes represented a considerable distance.

Such an expanse of pine forest, if left to a normal player to harvest, would likely take years of effort, and not even Bald Qiang could finish it before retirement.

Chen Yi, operating the sled, glanced at the map where the edge was starting to appear, and that green dot symbolizing their location was dashing towards the boundary. His eyelids flicked slightly as he slowly released the accelerator and pressed the brake.

The speed of the sled gradually reduced.

Until it smashed into a wall of air that felt like glue, embedding the front of the vehicle into it.

"Hm?"

Chen Yi jumped off the sled, approached the head of the vehicle, and looked up at this glue-like wall of air in front of him.

The edge of the forest held a towering wall of air that stretched high into the clouds, with no end in sight on either side.

On one side of the wall was an endless, dense forest, while on the other was a murky pale yellow viscous substance mixed with white particles.

The scene was bizarre, to say the least, something that simply could not exist in real life. Explore more stories at empire

He picked up a branch from the ground and tried stabbing it into the wall of air.

Without much effort.

The branch easily pierced in, but was quickly enveloped by the viscous matter on the other side of the wall. He tried to pull the branch out and found it required a good deal of strength.

Under the influence of the D-level Skill Calm and Composed, his physical condition maintained a constant doubling of strength.

His strength far exceeded that of ordinary people.

In this situation, the fact that it was so difficult to pull out the branch illustrated the substantial adhesive force of the viscous liquid on the other side of the wall.

It took all his power to yank the branch back out!

Immaculately clean.

The branch that came out was completely clean, without a single drop of the viscous liquid on it, and the wall of air in front of him remained intact, suggesting it had rapidly "healed" the hole pierced by the branch would be an understatement.

To describe it accurately, it was as if the wall of air had never been pierced at all.

It seemed that the wall was composed of individual molecules that shifted aside when the branch was inserted, and recombined when the branch was removed.

There was no concept of a hole or a wound to begin with.

"Is this... the world barrier?"

He liked it.

Especially the fact that you could resurrect infinitely, which was really strange, though limited to this map, but that feeling of being able to revive was still very odd.

You should know, the word 'death' has always been taboo for humans.

Once you cross that line, it means many rules can be broken.

Before long.

After refueling, Li Yide patted his belly, took a deep satisfying breath, reveling in the sensation of his vehicle's fuel increasing, then burst into laughter and took off with his chainsaw towards the distance.

But just then—

He suddenly heard a piercing sonic boom ahead of him, and before he could react, he saw a white light rapidly filling his pupils until it magnified!

'You have been killed by another player, and will revive in the same spot after an hour.'

Consciousness had already slipped into darkness.

And in that darkness, a prompt sounded by his ear.

"Is this what death feels like?"

Li Yide looked around, seeing only pitch black where he couldn't even see his hand in front of his face, and without the solid feeling of standing on the ground, he felt as if he was floating in the air.

He reached out to touch his body, there was a clear sense of touch.

But everything around him was empty.

He could speak and there was sound, but there was no echo, nor any response.

He floated like a willow fluff in the deepest darkness of the universe. His personal panel was not displayed, the title above his head was gone too, there was nothing.

Isolation, desolation.

Here, it was perfectly embodied.

He couldn't feel the passage of time, even the thoughts in his mind were unconsciously slowing down.

Here, it was as if everything had stopped.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Li Yide suddenly found the darkness he had become accustomed to gradually fading, till light filled the space around him. He closed his eyes tightly and held his hand in front of him to avoid being invaded by the blinding sunlight.

After a while, he came around, supporting himself on a tree root, standing on the spot, feeling slightly week in the knees as he felt his body up and down.

Completely unharmed without any injury.

Props undamaged.

The logs that had dropped out of his backpack were neatly arranged to one side, unclaimed by anyone.

The feeling of standing on solid ground had come back to him.

He had truly been revived.

Li Yide, who stood still for a few minutes after revival, then had a flicker of fear in his eyes and shot off in the direction he had come from.

Players could revive, that was true.

But the feeling of death was not pleasant.

No pain.

But in that hour of darkness, he even felt like he had forgotten the existence of his own body. At the beginning, he wondered if his props would be damaged, whether the resources he had worked hard to obtain would be taken away.

He pondered many problems.

But as time went by, he found his thoughts gradually stagnating.

He forgot the existence of his body, forgot to think, and even forgot his own existence.

When he revived again.

It even felt like a lifetime had passed.
