Chapter 1017: Chapter 477: Pollution Outbreak, Lin Reaches Out_3

"Hey, what’s with those faces? God Lin is down there, he should be able to purify this rule pollution soon!"

Wang Lei reassured everyone, "There’s nothing to worry about!"

Zhang Hao gave Wang Lei a glance and decided not to deal with him in the future, also trying not to offend him.

Lin Baici had just overshadowed Shen Nan’s limelight, and this guy seized the chance to throw shade at Lin Baici the moment he got.

He was really afraid Lin Baici wouldn’t lose face.

"It’s a good chance to see the strength of Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao!"

"Right, I’ve been wanting to see what the sister of Xia Hongmian is capable of!"

"Don’t forget there are two lead examiners down there too; maybe the others won’t even need to make a move before they handle it!"

The examiners chattered away.

The candidate in the red down jacket who was stopped earlier and didn’t get in was staring blankly at the entrance to the air-raid shelter.

"Give them 45 minutes, if they don’t solve it, we’ll go down!"

Pan Yunxiang checked his watch; if not for concern for the candidates’ safety, he wouldn’t have gone down at all.

If the two lead examiners couldn’t even handle this kind of pollution,

they might as well be dead.

"Could our luck be any worse?"

Xie Yangchun was speechless.

Before the Taboo things activated, there were no signs, so theoretically, the second round could indeed trigger rule pollution, but the last time this happened was seven years ago.

It had been a long time.

And that time, Xia Hongmian was the examiner, and she had taken care of it neatly, without causing any significant damage.

"I think those below are the really unlucky ones!"

Zhang Hao sneered.

Xia Hongyao’s team had completed the Busan Trip, which nobody had seen, but now, people from the headquarters and all six branches were watching. If they couldn’t quickly resolve it, any talk of the Busan Trip would be just boasting.

They would be ridiculed.

...

Among the candidates, Gu Qingqiu and Hua Yue Yu huddled together, whispering.

"Seems like there was an incident!"

Hua Yue Yu was worried.

To avoid causing trouble for Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, and to prevent accusations of Lin Baici showing favoritism, Hua Yue Yu and Gu Qingqiu had been avoiding those two ever since they entered the camp.

"Lin Baici is down there, what could possibly go wrong?"

Gu Qingqiu was totally calm, "Relax!"

"Beauty, what’s your name?"

Someone nearby tried to strike up a conversation.

Gu Qingqiu acted as if she hadn’t heard, too lazy to even lift her head.

What an amateur, dare to hit on me?

Gu Qingqiu was only truly interested when facing Lin Baici. Towards others, she was absolutely cold as ice, completely indifferent even if they were to die in front of her.

...

Inside the air-raid shelter, the first storage room.

That feeling of increasing rigidity in one’s limbs was terrifying, leaving one feeling numb, like a rusting robot dumped in a pile of garbage.

Some candidates couldn’t withstand the pressure and ran toward the door, eager to leave.

The chief examiner was right above, surely the safest place to be.

[Those who run will become human statues if they move more than fifty meters away.]

"You can go out, but don’t go too far!"

Lin Baici shouted, his eyes quickly scanning the room.

Generally speaking, the closer to the Taboo things, the more severe the pollution.

Lin Baici quickly noticed that the movements of a few candidates at eleven o’clock to his left were slower than the others.

"Don’t come over here!"

Lin Baici walked over.

An Yi Xian had obviously deduced the same spot, but she didn’t heed Lin Baici’s warning and went straight there.

Xia Hongyao trusted Lin Baici, so she didn’t join the commotion. Instead, she was checking for any oversight, ready to step in if Lin Baici made a mistake.

The floor was littered with various objects, some stacked up, forcing Lin Baici to stoop and rummage.

An Yi Xian came over, "What do you think it is?"

Aside from Pan Yunxiang, even the chief examiner didn’t know all the names of the Taboo things in the storage rooms, and it was even less likely that Lin Baici and the others would know.

Of course, cheaters were an exception.

Like Deng Mingyu.

However, he had not listened to Lin Baici reciting scripture, so he was still under the influence of Taboo things, feeling that everything was normal.

That is to say, the people in the other two storage rooms still didn’t know they were contaminated.

"I don’t know!"

His body was too stiff, greatly diminishing his search efficiency, and Lin Baici regretted not wearing the Bodhi Messenger’s Cassock.

It seemed that he would need a summoning type of Divine Grace in the future.

"Your contamination is getting worse, step back quickly!"

Lin Baici warned.

An Yi Xian noticed as well and was confused. She had been a God Hunter longer than Lin Baici and had absorbed more Meteorite, so theoretically, her physical condition should far exceed that of Lin Baici’s.

Why couldn’t she resist as well as he could?

"Step back!"

Lin Baici urged, rummaging through the debris.

...

He Zi’ang and his group were using all their strength but still moved like slow-moving zombies, inching up the stairs slower than a millennia-old tortoise.

"Hurry up!"

Everyone was sweating with urgency; nobody wanted to die.

Xu Wei, who usually liked running and bodybuilding, had a stronger physique, coupled with absorbing Star Stone, so his ability to resist pollution was the strongest, and he moved the fastest. But once he moved a distance away, his body suddenly stiffened and stopped.

Whoosh!

This scene scared everyone, and no one dared to move forward.

"Wuwuwu, I don’t want to die!"

Tian Tian cried.

He Zi’ang’s expression was uncertain.

...

Lin Baici lifted a plastic chair and rummaged through a pile of garbage to unearth a backpack he opened and tipped over.

Rustle rustle!

A pile of books fell out.

Dust swirled.

Cough cough! Cough cough!

Lin Baici choked.

Gurgle!

A rumbly stomach!

Lin Baici raised his eyebrows and quickly searched through the books, and shortly, a palm-sized plastic doll caught his eye.

Found it!

His instinct and hunger told Lin Baici it was this thing.

[Once activated, the doll model would turn nearby people into dolls to keep it company.]

[I hate loneliness!]

[I also hate being played with!]

As soon as the Eater God finished commenting, those in the warehouse suddenly sped up and rushed over.

An Yi Xian moved the fastest, even activating her Divine Grace with flames swinging at her fist, aiming for Lin Baici’s head.

"Damn!"

Lin Baici was still under the contamination from the doll model, so his limbs were stiff, and it was already too late to block or defend.
