Chapter 506: Chapter 232: A Leap between Life and Death!_1

"Stop, what are you doing?"

Xia Hongyao bellowed, charging over immediately.

"Trash!"

Gu Qingqiu sneered, thinking these people had absolutely no resilience—they should at least hold out until the end to see how things played out, instead of being so eager for vengeance against society.

The fatty had just lost his composure, wanting to drag a bunch of people down with him. After pushing a few meters forward, the crowd grew, some fell, others pushed back, making it impossible for him to continue, and his speed slowed down.

As a result, the fatty didn’t fall and was still alive.

"Damn it!"

"Hit him!"

"Kill him!"

Already tormented to the brink by this godforsaken game, everyone’s nerves were on edge with nowhere to vent. When the fatty acted up, they just exploded and started to beat him up, kicking him ferociously.

The fatty curled up into a ball: "Stop hitting me, I was wrong!"

"The hurricane is coming!"

Hua Yue Yu shouted, and that worked better than any plea; everyone headed straight for the center of the rooftop, because if they were to be blown away, they could increase the friction distance.

The fatty had acted on a whim just now, but deep down, he didn’t want to die. So, he used his hands and feet to crawl toward the center.

The hurricane came and went again, blowing away a few more cubes.

"God Lin, hurry up!"

Everyone was looking desperately at Lin Baici, their lifeline.

"I’ll pay one million yuan for two feathers,"

the luxury man bid, ready to bleed money.

"I will take out feathers only three more times, and the feathers I throw will only go to those who have already taken one feather themselves!"

Lin Baici warned.

"You’re forcing us to die!"

Someone complained.

"You work for the safety bureau, you have a duty to rescue us!"

"That’s right, I’ll report you!"

"Yeah, get you fired!"

Those who had acrophobia and genuinely couldn’t get a feather started to make a scene and threaten Lin Baici.

"Alright, you win!"

Lin Baici shrugged.

Everyone was ecstatic, thinking Lin Baici had given in, but then they saw him walking back.

"Eh? What are you doing? Go get the feathers!"

The crowd urged.

"Nope!"

Lin Baici flashed a toothy smile: "Because I want to see you die!"

Not even a word of thanks, and now threats?

Is this how you ask for help?

"God Lin, don’t stoop to their level, please!"

Those who had already secured a feather were waiting to snatch the ones Lin Baici would throw, which would greatly reduce their risk of death. But now, these complainers had spoiled everything.

A few, driven by rage, started fighting with them, but most, still rational, continued to leap for feathers.

"These people are so ungrateful!"

Hua Yue Yu was furious.

"Bai Ci, look!"

Gu Qingqiu motioned with his mouth towards the three o’clock direction, where about ten men had banded together: "It’s the guy in the jacket who organized it!"

"What are they up to? Are they planning to rob others of their feathers?"

Hua Yue Yu worried, as these people clearly had no good intentions.

"These feathers cannot be taken on behalf of someone else, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be stolen from others!"

Gu Qingqiu chuckled.

After three more rounds of hurricanes and an increase in the number of falling cubes, the risk involved in acquiring feathers became much greater, sometimes requiring jumps of over a meter in length, or leaping up and down, to reach a feather.

It was like a level-up in a game, with the difficulty increasing more and more.

The group in jackets hadn’t started robbing others of their feathers yet; apparently, they planned on waiting until there were more people with feathers before making their move. Otherwise, they’d scare off those still trying to get feathers.

Furthermore, they were selecting targets, visually picking out individuals who were skinny and seemingly easy to bully.

Everyone was timing the arrival of the next hurricane, quickly gathering at the center of the roof, but this time, nothing happened.

"What’s going on?"

"Is the game over?"

"Does that mean it’s okay if we didn’t get feathers?"

"Doesn’t that mean those earlier ones died for nothing?"

The crowd buzzed with speculation. They knew it was unlikely that things would end so peacefully, but they were all hopeful.

Lin Baici glanced at his watch—two minutes had passed.

"Be careful, I think something new is about to happen!"

No sooner had Lin Baici finished speaking than the rooftop beneath their feet began to shake violently.

Swish! Swish!

The rooftop developed a grid pattern like a Go board, with each square being ten meters to a side. Then, using these grid lines as a reference, gaps of ten centimeters formed between them.

"What’s happening?"

Everyone panicked when the people who had two feathers hurriedly ran towards Lin Baici.

Some speculated that the rooftop was going to break apart into smaller pieces, so everyone wanted to stay close to Lin Baici.

"Why are you pushing in if you have no feathers?"

Someone started to complain.

There wasn’t much space on a square with a side length of ten meters; it wasn’t enough to fit a hundred people.

"Is that any of your business?"

"Fight!"

"If I can’t live, none of you will either!"

The group in jackets suddenly made their move, lunging at those with feathers to rob them, but Lin Baici was quicker.

Whoosh!

Lin Baici leapt forward, pushing the obstructing person in front of him out of the way, and headed straight for the man in the jacket.

The man in the jacket faltered, his biggest fear materializing. He hurriedly pleaded, "Handsome, we didn’t rob you, let us live!"

Hua Yue Yu had been worried that they would be robbed by these people, but in reality, they didn’t dare.

Don’t even mention the athletic ability Lin Baici displayed when he jumped onto the platform, or the dominance and brutality when he kicked people—just their well-built bodies alone made them admit defeat. And who knew what dangers might come next?

Wasn’t it lucrative to keep Lin Baici as a strong support?

"I’ve given you a way to survive, but is that fair to those who took the risk to obtain the feathers?"

As Lin Baici spoke, he threw a punch that landed squarely on the face of the man in the jacket.

Bang!

The man in the jacket was stunned.

Lin Baici, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, swung his long arms around, delivering punches left and right. In a matter of seconds, he had the group of over a dozen people scattered.

He was capable of knocking them unconscious or even to death with a single punch, but he chose not to, because he still wanted to give them a chance.

"Go get the feathers, and stop thinking about taking shortcuts!"

Lin Baici scolded.

"Thank you, God Lin!"

"God Lin NO.1!"

"What do we do next?"

Those who had obtained the feathers were already contemplating the next crisis.

Boom! Boom!

The rooftop trembled, and the crevices widened even further, reaching twenty centimeters. At this rate, ten more episodes would take it to two meters—many wouldn’t be able to make that jump.

"Could it be that it’s not enough to not get a feather, but we also need to find a way to leave this rooftop?"

Hua Yue Yu guessed.

"But there’s no way out?" Xia Hongyao looked down towards the crevice. "Can’t be that we’re supposed to jump down while it’s not too wide, right?"

"Forget it, that’s definitely not it!"

Gu Qingqiu examined the feathers in her hand. "The key must be with this!"

Boom! Boom!

The building cracked open by one centimeter every minute.

Everyone was anxious, especially those who were still trying to grab the feathers. The difficulty had increased significantly, but they had to keep trying. Consequently, people kept falling.

Then after about ten seconds, those who fell would come crashing back down from the sky, landing on the rooftop and exploding into a cloud of blood.

Shortly, five minutes passed, and the building was divided into several square blocks spaced one meter apart. Some people were forced to part ways with Lin Baici.

Boom! Boom!

The building shook. In the sixth minute, a new change occurred; it split apart by twenty centimeters, doubling the width, and what was more terrifying was that the original hundred-square-meter area was neatly divided into ten parts, separated by ten centimeters from each other.

"Little White!"

Hua Yue Yu stood next to Lin Baici, clearly anxious.

In the tenth minute, the rooftop divisions grew even wider.

"If a hurricane were to blow now, that would be really something!"

Gu Qingqiu’s words were like a curse. Just after she spoke, the hurricane that had been calm for a while once again arrived.

Whoosh!

With such a small foothold, some people were blown away, and one person with a feather was knocked down due to being too close to the others.

"I thought those with feathers would be able to fly after falling!"

Gu Qingqiu glanced down and shook her head.

Actually, she had planned to deceive someone with a feather to give flying a try. Of course, she could also wait for an unfortunate feathered person to fall.

After about ten seconds, ’shedding’ began again the rooftop cracks had reduced the available space to dodge, increasing the likelihood of getting hit.

"No need to dodge!"

Lin Baici watched as someone fell from a square, heading straight for his head. He timed it well, threw a swinging punch, and hit the person in the waist.

Bang!

The person was sent flying.

[Insert the feathers into both arms!]

Eater God suddenly spoke up.

"You think the feathers need to be stained with blood to take effect?"

Gu Qingqiu guessed. She noticed the sharp end of the main feather spine, so she plunged it directly into her left forearm.

"That’s ruthless!"

Lin Baici complimented, then inserted a feather into each of his arms.

Hiss!

It hurt! And why did the feathers feel like they were alive, like leeches sucking blood?

"Wait for me to finish testing before you do anything!"

Gu Qingqiu thought Lin Baici was quite crazy.

"Everyone, listen to me, insert two feathers into your arms, one in each!"

Lin Baici shouted, "Red Medicine, Yue Yu, hurry up!"

The two girls naturally trusted Lin Baici unconditionally and went about it, teeth clenched.

The others hesitated, then some followed suit, while some still waited, wanting to see if Lin Baici’s method would work.

"What should we do next?"

Xia Hongyao asked, looking at the two feathers: "Will it work if we insert them here?"

[Jump!]

Upon hearing this, Lin Baici raised his eyebrows and then bellowed, "Jump!"

Gu Qingqiu leaped forward!

"..."

Lin Baici was shocked; did she really trust his judgment that much? But then he glanced at Xia Hongyao and Hua Yue Yu, gave them an OK sign, and after reminding Little Fairy,

"If you want to survive, listen to me!"

Having said that, Lin Baici jumped down.

"Wait for me!"

Hua Yue Yu followed close behind. Dead or alive, at least with Little White, she wouldn’t be alone.

"Listening to Lin Baici is right!"

After Xia Hongyao said this to everyone, she too jumped.

"What should we do?"

"Wait!"

"Right, if they don’t fall from the sky later, it means this method works!"

Some smart ones made a good guess.
