Chapter 1079: Chapter 511: Continuing Reduction in Numbers..._2

Xia Hongyao replied with a sentence.

"I’ll take the lead, Bai Ci, will you take the middle path?"

Xie Yangchun negotiated and also displayed the courage and responsibility of an elite.

"I’ll go!"

Yuan Jifeng spoke up.

He and Deng Mingyu, as those Below Dragon Level, ought to step forward, give commands, and lead everyone to purify God’s ruins, but neither had had the chance to show off.

Of course, Deng Mingyu didn’t want to show off to begin with; his skin was much thicker than Yuan Jifeng’s, content to stay within the team, not wanting to take any risks.

After all, these people were neither his beloved family nor friends; it was none of his concern how many of them died.

In the cave, with its jagged rocks and stalactites, droplets of water occasionally fell, making a dripping sound.

Due to the enclosed environment, everyone’s footsteps seemed very loud and chaotic, giving an oppressive feeling.

As they moved on, the team gradually stretched out into a line.

Lin Baici held up a pine wood torch, so that in case of sudden danger, he could attack directly without having to switch weapons.

The thing was, it significantly affected the people nearby.

Behind Lin Baici, separated by Liu Langqing, Fang Mingyuan constantly felt the light of the fire was warm.

Like the sun at dawn in winter or a campfire in a cold night, it made him increasingly obsessed, unable to take his eyes off it.

After staring like that for over ten minutes, he suddenly lost control of himself and lunged towards Lin Baici, wanting to hold the torch in his arms.

Bang!

Fang Mingyuan bumped into Liu Langqing.

"What the hell?"

Liu Langqing staggered from the impact, taking quite a fright.

Fang Mingyuan didn’t reply but exerted force with his arms, pushing Liu Langqing aside like he was engaging in physical contact during a basketball game.

"Damn!"

Liu Langqing grew irritated; although she was a woman, her enhanced physique was much stronger than Fang Mingyuan’s, and he was not someone she could easily be pushed by.

Slap!

Liu Langqing reached out and grabbed Fang Mingyuan by the collar.

"Let go of me!"

Fang Mingyuan struggled and yelled like a madman, even swinging his fists at Liu Langqing.

"Fuck!"

Liu Langqing cursed; if it weren’t for him being Lin Baici’s friend, she would have slapped his teeth out already.

"Fang Mingyuan, what are you doing?"

Long Miaomiao tried to grab Fang Mingyuan’s arm but was pushed away by him.

With this commotion, everyone stopped, with those behind unable to move forward, and those ahead turning back to look.

"Is it a Rule Contamination outbreak?"

Xu Wei was worried but didn’t forget to immediately put down the camping light.

The thing was really too heavy.

"Pick it up, hold it high, and shine it backward!"

Auntie scolded, kicking Xu Wei.

Xu Wei dared not disobey and did as told.

"Don’t look at this torch!"

Lin Baici warned.

"Is it a Taboo thing?"

Liu Langqing was stunned; no wonder Fang Mingyuan went nuts, he got minimally contaminated.

Watching Fang Mingyuan, Xu Wei’s expression shifted slightly, and then he ran towards Lin Baici holding the camping light.

He wanted to pretend to be contaminated so that he wouldn’t have to carry the camping light.

Bang!

Auntie kicked Xu Wei in the thigh and snatched the camping light back to prevent it from being broken.

Thud!

"Ouch!"

Xu Wei fell against the stone wall and gasped in pain.

Lin Baici extinguished the torch and switched to a flashlight with a strong beam.

Without the light of the torch, Fang Mingyuan quieted down quite a bit.

"What’s going on?"

Yuan Jifeng’s voice came from up ahead.

"Nothing; we can keep moving!"

Zhang Hao replied.

The team set off again.

Honestly, this kind of closed and dark cave terrain was already oppressing; if you added the uncertainty of not knowing when you could leave, the mental pressure became even greater.

"I think he’s just hungry. Eat something, replenish some sugar, and he’ll be fine!"

Long Miaomiao seriously analyzed, "Like a lollipop!"

"I think it’s you who wants to eat, right?"

Auntie thought this girl was too greedy.

"Hehe!"

Little Fatty Sister giggled, essentially admitting it.

Lin Baici gave Long Miaomiao a bag of White Rabbit Creamy Candy.

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

Little Fatty Sister bowed ninety degrees, "You’re like my real brother. If you don’t have children in the future, I’ll take care of you when you’re old."

The team continued on.

The tunnel sloped downward, becoming ever narrower and steeper. After about half an hour, they even came across a cliff.

Fortunately, it was only a little over three meters high.

"When will this end?"

Xu Wei worried, "I’ve seen quite a few wilderness survival shows. Tunnels like this are very dangerous—during the summer season, the water level could surge suddenly!"

"We should split into two groups. We shouldn’t be all in at once!"

Xu Wei felt his consideration was thorough.

"Can you guarantee you’re not part of the group that was sent in?"

The great aunt mocked.

Xu Wei’s face immediately darkened.

"God Lin, Team Xie, Team Yuan, there’s been an incident!"

From behind the team, sudden anxious shouts erupted.

"I’ll go take a look with Bai Ci. Everyone else, stay put and don’t move!"

Zhang Hao shouted and headed back.

Lin Baici followed, and of course, Gu Qingqiu, who loved excitement, was not going to stay behind either.

When the three of them reached the middle of the team, they had to stop,

Most examiners were gathered there, obviously to avoid rule contamination.

"What happened?"

Zhang Hao asked.

"There seems to be a dead body!"

An examiner with a Qi Fentou haircut replied.

"What do you mean ’seems’?"

Zhang Hao was furious. These people had entered the Security Bureau several years before Lin Baici and were still so timid.

Gu Qingqiu briskly walked forward.

After about fifty meters, she saw the body of a male examiner sitting on the ground.

The examiner’s eyes were wide open, his eyeballs bulging, mouth agape, tongue lolling out.

It was the appearance of someone strangled.

As for the murder weapon...

It was the examiner’s own intestines!

"Interesting!"

Gu Qingqiu walked over.

The examiner’s abdomen was ripped open, and from the blood on his hands, it was clear that he had torn open his belly by himself and pulled out his intestines, winding them around his neck to strangle himself to death.

The organs, unrestrained by a belly wall, spilled out, mixed with blood on the ground, exuding the stench of blood.

Because the intestines broke in some places while strangling, feces had leaked out, adding a smell of excrement.

"His name is Wu Yanxi, from Xijing."

Zhang Hao, seeing Wu Yanxi’s ghastly demise, understood why the other examiners kept their distance.

Who wouldn’t be scared after seeing such a thing?

Thinking this, Zhang Hao glanced at Gu Qingqiu, who was standing beside Wu Yanxi’s body, manipulating his intestines with a katana.

This girl was either incredibly brave or a psychopath!

Lin Baici surveyed the surrounding environment for any clues.

Ahead, shouts from another examiner suddenly filled the air.

"God Lin, Chapter Leader Zhang, another person has been contaminated!"

Lin Baici and Zhang Hao hurried back and saw the Qi Fentou-haired examiner grasping his neck with both hands, trying to remove whatever was wrapped around his neck, suffocating him, but there was clearly nothing there.

The examiners all kept their distance, on full alert.

Perhaps due to extreme suffocation, Qi Fentou stopped scratching his neck and instead violently plunged his hands into his navel, and then began to rip at his belly.

"Qingqiu!"

Lin Baici didn’t take the risk to approach, but called his alumni to action.

"Got it!"

Gu Qingqiu drew her katana, summoning the Red Demon to attack around Qi Fentou.

Perhaps an unseen creature was controlling him.

The Red Demon was unsuccessful.

Qi Fentou tore open his navel, not minding the pain, and forcefully ripped open a foot-long gash, then pulled his intestines out and wrapped them around his neck.

One circle,

Two circles,

Three circles!

...

Qi Fentou died, leaving everyone clueless on how to save him.

"What kind of rule contamination is this?"

"It’s damn terrifying!"

"God Lin, what do you think?"

The examiners discussed amongst themselves. This type of rule contamination was the most helpless situation since they couldn’t even see the monster.

"It might be an unseen creature, or possibly elements like scent, lighting, and so on that are not easily detected, or maybe hallucinations..."

Zhang Hao analyzed.

Lin Baici was pondering when suddenly, Hua Yue Yu shouted from the front, her voice full of tension.

"Xiao Bai, the great aunt has been contaminated!"

Lin Baici immediately rushed forward.

The examiners hurried to follow, and chaos ensued.

At this moment, everyone wanted to stay close to the elite, near Lin Baici and Zhang Hao.
