Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 154, He Feihong's Past

Although Zhou Zeyang sometimes sounds quite boyish, he is actually a thoughtful and meticulous person. Guo Yu is his and Zhao Lei's roommate and they have a good relationship, but they haven't experienced those life-and-death trials and tribulations together with the others in the group. It would indeed seem a bit abrupt to just add him to the group like that.

Moreover, their small group includes Han Weiyi, an incredibly lucky player who occasionally brings surprises, and Lin Yue, a top-ranked and extremely powerful individual. It's one thing for them to rely on her, but to bring others along just to freeload would be rather unethical. Even without actually getting anything, the rumors and expert advice shared within the group are enough to make many people envious.

Therefore, Zhou Zeyang was somewhat apprehensive when he made this request. However, since the information Guo Yu possessed was currently useful to them and they had finally found a use for it, Zhou Zeyang thought he should take this opportunity to introduce Guo Yu to everyone, hoping it might bring some new assistance to the team.

In the small group chat, Han Weiyi, always independent and free-spirited, made friends and did things entirely according to her mood, so she naturally didn't care about this. Liang Dong was currently studying and teaching under Master Lu Wei, exchanging dating tips for architectural tricks, and was having a great time. He was actually more than happy to have another person to offer him advice. As for Zhao Lei and Xu Tiantian, they were already old acquaintances of Guo Yu and wouldn't object. Therefore, Zhou Zeyang's question was mainly to seek Lin Yue's opinion.

Lin Yue glanced at everyone's avatars in the group chat. Seeing that no one else had said anything, she knew that they didn't object, so she readily replied, "Sure."

Lin Yue didn't know He Feihong, but when she recalled the conversation when he suddenly added her as a friend, his overtly friendly attitude was almost overflowing, which made her unconsciously harbor three doubts. It wouldn't be bad to learn more about him now.

After joining the group, Guo Yu greeted everyone and quickly began to tell them what he knew.

Lin Yue had been wondering why He Feihong, who was also the top player in the first server, seemed to be quite popular, judging from the comments of players in the eighth server. So why was it that whenever He Feihong posted something or made an update, the first person to comment was always Huang Wenmin, who was originally from the seventh server?

She had initially thought Huang Wenmin was just trying to curry favor, but after hearing Guo Yu's account, she realized there was more to the story. It turned out that He Feihong's two most loyal siblings had both perished in the battle for the floating island resources.

Although sources later revealed that the Bai siblings were caught off guard during a points-based battle and were unfortunately half-submerged in volcanic lava, suffering severe injuries, and after several attempts to stop their injuries proved futile, the two siblings resolutely and deliberately threw themselves into He Feihong's curved blade, leaving all their supplies to him.

Of course, the credibility of this story is a matter of opinion.

According to Guo Yu, when the story first came out, most people didn't believe it.

The character of Sister Bai in the story was an extremely cheerful and generous person who had taken care of many people and enjoyed immense popularity in the Eighth District. Many people wept upon learning of her passing. Therefore, when they learned she died at He Feihong's hands, regardless of whether it was of her own volition, many indignant players clamored to seek justice from He Feihong.

Upon learning the news, He Feihong stated that although he had a clear conscience, he was also deeply saddened by the passing of the Bai siblings and was willing to communicate honestly with all those who genuinely cared about them.

But for some reason, almost all those who had vowed to avenge Sister Bai changed their attitude drastically after talking with He Feihong. Their attitudes underwent a complete 180-degree turn, and they claimed that they had learned the truth and believed that He Feihong was indeed innocent.

At first, when someone acted like this, everyone assumed that he had been bribed by He Feihong.

When the two of them are like this, everyone just thinks that He Feihong is incredibly wealthy;

However, the third, the fourth, the fifth...

The masses can make a tiger out of nothing, and their words can melt metal. In the end, He Feihong was indeed cleaned up even more thoroughly than a cabbage.

Guo Yu gritted his teeth as he spoke. Han Weiyi couldn't hold back any longer and sent a raised-hand emoji, asking, "Brother Guo Yu, since everyone says that guy surnamed He is a good person, why are you telling us he's untrustworthy?"

Guo Yu sighed with a wry smile and replied, "Because I also know Sister Bai!"

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

Everyone was taken aback. Even Liang Dong, who was shaving his hands, took a moment to come up and eat some melon seeds. Seeing that Guo Yu hadn't continued for a while, he couldn't help but urge him, "Stop dawdling, hurry up and continue!"

Guo Yu raised his hand to rub his sore eyes, calmed himself down, and slowly said, "The players in the eighth district all think that Sister Bai and He Feihong are a couple, but I know they are not."

Lin Yue was puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Liang Dong went even further: "Could it be that you two are a couple?"

Zhou Zeyang was about to join in the teasing when he suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, boss, don't you like Yang Fan?"

Xu Tiantian was shocked to hear this: "What? Boss Guo, you like Yang Fan?"

Although Han Weiyi didn't recognize these main characters, that didn't stop her from joining in the fun: "Wow! [I was so shocked I dropped my sunflower seeds.jpg]"

Seeing everyone chattering away, Guo Yu momentarily forgot his earlier sadness and, half-laughing and half-crying, begged for mercy, "No! Don't interrupt! Listen to me! [crying emoji][whack-a-mole emoji]"

Everyone: "Oh! You tell us!"

Guo Yu took a deep breath and continued to recall, "Once, by chance, I chatted with Sister Bai for a while, and she mentioned their Bai family motto to me. I remember it clearly—'Benevolence and humility are the foundation of virtue and righteousness. Respect teachers and love friends, and never tire of honing skills. Defend the country and protect the nation, and be courageous and righteous. Cherish life and safeguard its permanence.'"

Sister Bai also emphasized that her parents had repeatedly reminded her and her brother, and the most important part of that was the fourth sentence: No matter what dire situation the Bai family children face, they must never give up on their lives! This is the key to how the siblings have been able to persevere time and time again in the brutal struggle for survival at high altitudes.

Moreover, Sister Bai has a childhood sweetheart and fiancé. She has said that her fiancé will definitely come to find her, so no matter what difficulties she encounters before they meet, she will absolutely not easily give up her life.
