After walking for what felt like forever, I noticed the surroundings beginning to change.
The ground beneath my feet became firmer, and the thick forest that had been closing in on us slowly started to thin out. More sunlight filtered through the trees now, warming the path ahead.
Then—
I saw it.
A large hill stood right in front of us.
It was tall, wide, and impossible to ignore.
My steps slowed as I studied it carefully, my eyes tracing the slope, the loose rocks, and the possible paths we could take.
Behind me, the group began to react.
"Do we really have to climb that?" someone asked, their voice filled with disbelief.
"I cannot go any further," another person said weakly.
I did not answer them immediately.
Because at that exact moment—
The blue screen appeared again in front of me.
[ Congratulations: Safe Zone Reached ]
[ Reward: Will Be Distributed Shortly ]
My gaze stayed fixed on it as more words appeared.
[ Safe Zone Location Confirmed ]
