Chapter 409: Chapter 183: One Hour Left Until Death!_1

"Does that kid have a screw loose? Does he really think he can walk out of this desert on his own?"

Wu Zhaokun couldn’t understand Lin Baici’s mindset.

It was just for the sake of face, even if it cost his life.

In Wu Zhaokun’s view, sticking with the Divine Hunters from the third division was the only way to maximize the chances of survival.

"Ambitious!"

Chen Mingshu felt emotional. He quite admired Lin Baici’s character of preferring to be a shattered piece of jade rather than an intact piece of pottery.

Fei Xiao came back, relayed Zhang Heng’s words, and then advised, "You might be right, but don’t rush; follow Zhang Heng and the others first, that’s the safest!"

"Not to rush?"

Lin Baici looked at Cai Wenqi’s group, then thought about the people struggling in this museum of God’s ruins. At any second now, they could die.

Fei Xiao clearly also thought about what Lin Baici was worried about, and he sighed.

Sometimes, safely containing the God’s bones and purifying the God’s ruins is more important than some people’s lives because once the ruins expand, the damage caused will be even greater.

This was the trolley dilemma.

For Divine Hunters, they often faced such choices and were forced to give up some people.

Zhang Heng disdained to show off his achievements and reputation, so he left immediately. Wu Zhaokun wanted to embarrass Lin Baici, so he came over.

"Our leader is a Lion King level Divine Hunter, the great leader of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau. We are now heading for that building; whoever wants to follow, come quickly!"

After Wu Zhaokun finished speaking, he provocatively glanced at Lin Baici.

Everyone looked at each other, worriedly looking at Lin Baici.

"Mr. Lin, what’s going on? Aren’t we all going together?"

The couple who had survived were now very cautious about their lives and asked bravely.

"Right, I’m going this way!"

Lin Baici stated the truth.

"Why? Is that guy a fraud?"

The couple didn’t understand.

"No, what he said is all true. They are indeed elites of the Security Bureau. Following them is safer than following me."

If people wanted to leave, Lin Baici wouldn’t stop them because he knew more people would die afterwards, and he definitely wouldn’t have the extra energy to take care of everyone.

Everyone fell silent.

"Go ahead, I won’t blame you!"

Lin Baici gave a faint smile.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your care all this time!"

"Mr. Lin, I’ll buy you a drink when we get back!"

"Shall we go together?"

Some people thanked him, said their goodbyes, while others wanted to persuade Lin Baici to join them. Most of them tended to follow Zhang Heng because that team had more Divine Hunters and was stronger.

Lin Baici shook his head.

Some people hurriedly left to catch up with Zhang Heng.

"You’re not going?"

Lin Baici noticed Fei Xiao showed no intention of moving.

"I don’t like that person!"

Fei Xiao made up an excuse casually.

Actually, it was his pride at play.

As the leader of the ninth division, how could he follow Zhang Heng? If word spread, how would he hold his head up? He might as well resign.

Fang Tianhua also stayed, siding with Fei Xiao.

Seeing this, Fei Xiao laughed and punched Fang Tianhua’s chest hard.

"You should have followed them!"

Lin Baici suggested that Cai Wenqi leave.

"I trust you more!"

Cai Wenqi had already witnessed Lin Baici’s character—very steadfast and trustworthy. Moreover, because of her connection with Li Wei, she could get a bit more care from Lin Baici. If she went to Zhang Heng’s team, she would just be an ordinary person.

"The path was my choice, even if I die, I won’t blame you!"

Cai Wenqi laughed freely.

"Let’s set off!"

Lin Baici shouted.

...

"Leader, more than half have followed us!"

Wu Zhaokun was happy, watching Lin Baici’s small group gradually disappear behind the dunes.

"What’s there to be happy about?"

Zhang Heng rebuked him sternly.

He believed that having everyone follow him would be the proof of his strength.

One-third of the people following Lin Baici was like a slap in the face for him.

"Uh!"

Wu Zhaokun realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly shut his mouth.

Three hours passed!

Everyone had been walking in the scorching desert for so long; without protection from the sun, their skin turned red, hot, and itchy, but they dared not scratch.

But the hardest part was the exhaustion and thirst.

Zhang Heng had a Space forbidden item, but the storage space wasn’t large, so he was conserving his supplies.

Moreover, with over two hundred people in the team, and not knowing how long it would take to get out of the desert, Zhang Heng implemented resource control.

One bottle of water for ten people, and if someone was so thirsty they couldn’t stand it, they could only take a sip to moisten their throat.

Half a day hadn’t passed, and people had already started to miss Lin Baici.

At least with him, food and drink were assured, and if they died, they could die as a gluttonous ghost.

But it was too late for regrets. After walking for so long, it was no longer possible to turn back and follow Lin Baici.

The team continued to move forward, the atmosphere was oppressive.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man’s body sank, sinking into the desert.

"Ah, help me!"

Before the man could finish shouting, he disappeared completely.

"Monsters incoming! Prepare for battle!"

Zhang Heng exhorted loudly with vigor, but no matter how loud his voice, it couldn’t save anyone.

Splash! Splash!

About ten people fell into the sand, and after a dozen seconds, several scorpions, larger than an adult, crawled out from underground.

A few of them had a corpse in their mouths, munching away.

It was the Demon Scorpion army of the Pharaoh.

"Slay them!"

Zhang Heng charged at the Demon Scorpions with his machete.

"Damn it, don’t chase me! My flesh stinks, go eat someone else!"

"You guys, kill these creatures fast!"
