234: Give up voluntarily

And so, the five of them stayed in the small house until the evening of the fourth day.

After interacting for these past few days, Pan Han felt that the four of them were quite good and worth befriending.

Especially Ouyang Feijin; although his abilities weren't great, he greatly admired Pan Han and would do whatever he was told.

Previously, when he was asked to fix the door, he did so without a word, enduring the wind and snow for over an hour until it was repaired.

When he returned to the house, he fainted from the cold again.

Finci Dana used to run a breeding farm, and after the apocalypse arrived, he started raising zombies for fun.

He also invented many methods for zombies to work for humans, such as having zombies pedal exercise bikes to generate electricity.

This method was just a bit zombie-intensive; usually, one batch would die from exhaustion, and then another batch would be brought in.

After several years of development, his zombie farm now housed hundreds of thousands of zombies.

He even achieved a mode where initially evolved zombies assisted him in management.

Jiaogen Jingcun's situation was more complex; he was originally from the mainland, but after committing a crime, he fled to an island nation.

There, he joined a gang and gradually rose to become the gang's second-in-command.

When the apocalypse arrived, he directly replaced the boss, becoming the number one figure.

Of course, their organization now only had over 200 people left.

Overall, Pan Han's strength was indeed the greatest. When everyone heard that his base had thousands of people and over a thousand rabbits, they wished they could immediately join him.

On the evening of the third day, Pan Han even took out playing cards and white wine. Everyone played cards and drank together, and the atmosphere directly reached a climax.

The four of them hugged Pan Han, crying loudly, saying why they hadn't met Big Brother sooner.

Dili Abasi even lay in Pan Han's arms, insisting on kissing him twice!

Upon hearing this, Pan Han repeatedly waved his hands, saying it was inappropriate, inappropriate.

And so, on the evening of the fourth day, the group cleaned up and set off together for the next Trial, Extreme Heat.

According to the rules, they had to stay for five days in both the Extreme Cold and Extreme Heat Trials. Now, there were three hours left until the five days were up.

Pan Han thought that no matter how hot it got, they should be able to endure for three hours.

Thus, after crossing a trench, the five of them arrived at the Extreme Heat mini-Trial.

This was actually a sealed, large steamer.

It was much smaller than the Extreme Cold Trial.

When Pan Han and the others walked in, they found dozens of Trials participants sparsely lying inside. They looked quite relaxed, as if they were in a sauna.

Looking at the wristband display, the temperature was 55°C and the humidity was 90%.

For the few people who had just come from a world of ice and snow, this temperature was extremely hot. So everyone quickly took off their clothes, including Dili Abasi, all wearing only shorts.

“Why don’t you cover up a little?” Pan Han looked at her peaks, which were a bit dazzling.

“Forget it, it’s too hot, and the competition is more important. Just look less,” Dili Abasi gathered her hair, and water immediately wrung out.

Finci Dana, Ouyang Feijin, and Jiaogen Jingcun cast resentful glances at Pan Han, meaning: Big Brother, don't meddle!

“I’m not trying to make things difficult for you, it’s mainly that Ouyang Feijin is already bleeding from his nose,” Pan Han pointed to his nose.

“It’s too hot, too humid. Whenever I get hot, my nose bleeds! Sister, you continue, don’t mind me…” Just as he finished speaking, Ouyang Feijin fainted again!

Everyone was already accustomed to him fainting.

They found a random spot, carried him over, found some water and a wet towel, placed it on his forehead, and considered the rescue complete.

“Let’s not move around anymore. We don’t have much water left, let’s save it for later,” Pan Han pulled everyone to sit around Ouyang Feijin.

They tried to remain as still as possible to prevent water evaporation.

“Big Brother, I feel alright. We’ll just sit here for a few hours and pass the Trial easily,” Jiaogen Jingcun felt cooler after closing his eyes, his mind as still as water.

“Why do I feel so parched and hot?” Finci Dana retorted.

“Why don’t you try closing your eyes?” Pan Han reminded him; he himself had already closed his eyes.

Out of sight, out of mind. Dili Abasi’s “headlights” were criminal-level.

Whoever looked wouldn’t feel hot? You stomp, you’d also go numb!

Ultimately, the group passed the Extreme Heat mini-Trial without any major incidents.

The wristband sounded a prompt; Pan Han and his group had accumulated more than five days, and could proceed directly to the Torture mini-Trial.

These two mini-Trials were different from the previous ones; these two could be forfeited.

Pan Han thought it over carefully and decided to forfeit these two Trials, not taking these 10 points!

He currently had 50 points, still the Big Brother at the top of the leaderboard, with the second place trailing him by 15 points.

There was no need to undergo torture and temptation for these 10 points.

Besides, he had been so provoked by Dili Abasi these past few days that his underwear was almost worn out.

In short, he was very agitated right now!

Forfeiting and going home to vent his frustration with Cheng Xiao was the proper thing to do!

However, the other four had very low scores and couldn't be as willful as Pan Han, so they all chose to continue the challenge.

Thus, the five parted ways, agreeing to meet again at the fourth major Trial to seize treasures and points together.

Pan Han contacted the arena staff through his wristband. They sent a small car to pick him up.

When he saw Cheng Xiao, Pan Han realized that the Extreme Cold and Extreme Heat mini-Trials were not live-streamed; only the subsequent Torture and Beauty Trials would be.

“Why are you back! I was waiting to see how the beautiful woman would tempt you,” Cheng Xiao was both surprised and delighted to see Pan Han return, but also a little worried.

She was happy because Pan Han didn't have to perform rejecting a beautiful woman's temptation in front of a global audience.

She was worried that giving up 10 points for no reason was too much of a pity.

Pan Han thought to himself, you don't know how hard I've been holding back these past few days.

But on the surface, he still put on a righteous facade: “It’s just 10 points, I can do without them. But I’m not interested in being tempted by other beautiful women. I’d rather come back and be with you.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao naturally blossomed with joy. She quickly went to the bathroom to run water, preparing to take a bath with him.

Pan Han also let her attend to him.

After they were clean, Pan Han immediately launched his attack, from the bathtub to the living room, and then to the bed.

The two of them carried on until evening before finally settling down.

After eating something haphazardly, Pan Han finally fell asleep peacefully.

Although he hadn't suffered much these past few days, how could the Trial stages compare to here?

The moment his head touched the pillow, he immediately fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already past 9 PM.

“Cheng Xiao, Cheng Xiao?” Pan Han opened his eyes, found no one beside him, so he called out twice, but still no one answered.

“Where did this girl run off to?” He turned his head and saw a note on the nightstand.

“I went to watch the live broadcast!” Pan Han suddenly realized; he had forgotten that the later Torture and Beauty Trials would be live-streamed.

He quickly got dressed and ran to the broadcast hall.

When he pushed open the door to the broadcast hall, the atmosphere was very lively, very lively!

Everyone was flushed, shouting loudly, with whistles and applause echoing endlessly!

The broadcast screen kept switching between various alluring scenes.

It turned out that the Torture Trial had already ended, and now the Beauty Trial was being live-streamed!

“This… this is a huge test for censorship!” Pan Han was stunned on the spot!
