Chapter 600: Chapter 298: Assassinate the King and Usurp the Throne!_2

"That Lin Baici is just too formidable. I used to think our team leader was quite strong, but now compared to him, we’re utterly pathetic!"

"He is definitely a God Hunter on the same level as Jin Xian!"

The woman silently listened when suddenly, an announcement rang out through the train.

"Passenger Pei Douwen, there is an error with the timing of your ticket. Please leave within ten seconds, or you will be punished!"

Pei Douwen was startled and came to his senses.

"An error? What’s wrong? I got this ticket amidst the rule pollution!"

Pei Douwen argued.

The ticket found in Li God Doctor’s stomach sac must be correct since he is obviously an important figure.

The voice over the loudspeaker did not reply, but a countdown began.

Ten!

Nine!

...

Whew!

A man with a cigar in his mouth jeered with a teasing whistle, "Buddy, you’re gonna die, get off the train fast!"

"How do I get off?"

In his panic, Pei Douwen rushed to the nearest window, trying to open it, but found the windows were locked shut. He then tried to chop at it with his saber, but the glass was indestructible.

"Stop struggling, you’re a goner!"

"See you in hell!"

"Hurry up and say your last words!"

The few passengers all made fun of him.

Having just experienced a life-and-death situation, they were too bored and too eager to let off steam, so naturally, someone couldn’t resist starting to mock the victim.

Three!

Two!

One!

The punishment begins!

The female announcement voice was very gentle, if not like an elder sister, then like a tender young wife, but to Pei Douwen’s ears, it sounded like the Death God’s sentence.

"No, I want to go back! Send me back!"

Pei Douwen begged, "Don’t kill..."

Bang!

Pei Douwen’s head exploded, blood sprayed everywhere, and after his body shook, it collapsed into the seat.

"Fuck, that’s brutal?"

"Are you a rookie who’s entered God’s Ruins for the first time? Just a head explosion, how normal!"

"Don’t you think this headless corpse sitting here has an artistic feel?"

"Artistic my ass, I think you’re just a freak!"

The God Hunters cursed and grumbled.

The cigar man took a deep drag and, while exhaling, he asked the woman with the eagle feather crown, "Great Shaman, didn’t this guy have a ticket? Why was he punished?"

He got on the wrong train?

What a joke, after the game ends, it’s a direct teleportation. God Hunters can’t possibly choose which train to board on their own.

"Two possibilities, one, the ticket was given to him by someone else and he was not entitled to use it, or two, the game is not over yet, so even if he has a ticket he’s deemed not qualified for the train!"

The Great Shaman explained.

The expressions of the others grew serious; in this Divine Ruins with the presence of gods, the rules were indeed numerous, and a lack of caution could easily lead to death.

"Lin Baici?"

Playing with a seashell, the Great Shaman murmured this name. Even under her Divine Grace Hypnosis, that person had kept muttering ’Lin Baici,’ which showed just how great an impact this man had made on him.

"On the same level as Jin Xian?"

Suddenly, the Great Shaman grew curious to meet this young man—if he hadn’t died in the previous rule pollution

Current information confirmed that in the Busan Divine Ruins, one could only catch the train to the next station if they had a ticket, and so on until the final destination.

Each station was a bout of rule pollution; some were radiative pollution caused by Taboo things, while others could very well involve the gods themselves descending into the fray.

If it were the latter, one could only pray for their fortune!

Hopefully, the looks of the members in Lin Baici’s team weren’t too handsome or too beautiful—according to the information gathered, the Great Shaman concluded that the god seemed to particularly dislike handsome men and beautiful women.

If it took a dislike to someone, it would pollute them.

Soon enough, everyone lost their interest in talking and silence returned to the train; everyone was regaining their strength, getting ready for the next game of godly taboo.

...

Among Lin Baici’s group, there were no directionally challenged members, and with Li God Doctor’s map being very detailed, by nightfall, they had found the cave.

In the season when winter snow was fluttering about, the cave was warm and full of the Weed of Life and Death, very lush.

Dae Jang Geum couldn’t wait to run towards the cave wall, reaching out to push aside the Weed of Life and Death, eager to look at the mural.

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Baici intervened in time, tossing over a pair of gloves, "Put these on!"

Dae Jang Geum bowed her head in thanks, then put on the gloves and pushed aside the Weed of Life and Death to see the cave wall.

There were some carvings on it.

Quan Sangin and the others also wanted to go over and have a look, but Lin Baici yelled at them, stopping them in their tracks.

"Don’t touch anything recklessly, wait until Dae Jang Geum and Qingqiu are finished, then you can look!"

Lin Baici’s implication was clear—he thought the others lacked the intelligence, and that they would be unable to discern any useful information or might even destroy the clues.

Kim Jinsoo and the rest didn’t mind, but Quan Sangin felt a bit embarrassed, after all, he was the leader of the Koreans and equal in status to Lin Baici.

The sky had turned completely dark, and everyone lit a bonfire.

"These murals are like the ones cave dwellers would draw in stone caverns, pretty crude, but coherent. As long as one isn’t an idiot, the intended message is clear!"

After looking at the murals, Gu Qingqiu sat next to Lin Baici, glancing at the Weed of Life and Death in her hand while recalling the murals in her mind, trying to dig into the details.

Lin Baici was pouring slices of meat into the hot pot; the carvings depicted the exact usage of the Weed of Life and Death, which he had already looked over.

"Crush the Weed of Life and Death, then insert a silver needle into a person’s forehead, channeling the juice into the brain, and you can create a zombie!"

Quan Sangin read through this process, "God Lin, instead of making wild guesses here, why not capture some people and experiment?"

This kind of experiment, it was necessary to witness with one’s own eyes.

Lee Taehyun and the Bearded Man were startled when they heard this; the outsiders here were only a few, and Dae Jang Geum in front of the cave wall also shivered.

"My lord, give me one more day, and I will definitely find a cure for the zombies!"

Dae Jang Geum pleaded, though a girl, she had the compassion of a healer.

Lin Baici looked towards Gu Qingqiu, just as their eyes met.

"I’ll be the villain for this," said Gu Qingqiu without caring about losing her humanity, she just wanted answers.

Moreover, were the people in the Divine Ruins really humans?

It was debatable.

"Why don’t you come over and eat first?"

Lin Baici didn’t have much of an appetite, he picked a Weed of Life and Death and observed it in the light of the fire, "What reaction would there be if this herb were ingested?"

"I’ll go capture some live prey and bring it back!" Lee Taehyun volunteered himself.

"You’re not thinking of running away, are you?"

The Bearded Man was worried that if Lee Taehyun left, he would be the next test subject.

"I believe Lord Lin would not do something so outrageous!"

Dae Jang Geum interjected, her faith in Lin Baici unwavering.

"Go catch the animals, after you’ve all eaten, then go," Lin Baici suggested, twirling the Weed of Life and Death in his hand, "Do you think there might be things on this that we can’t see?"

"Hmm?"

Gu Qingqiu’s eyes lit up; this angle of thinking was quite good.

"Are you saying..."

Xia Hongyao had yet to understand.

"That there may be tiny microbes, viruses, bacteria and the like on this!"

Lin Baici’s conjecture made everyone ponder; it was indeed a possibility.

After asking what bacteria were, Dae Jang Geum immediately went to conduct an experiment.

...

Dusk fell, below Quanzhou City, a massive number of zombies were attacking, swarming densely, like blisters suddenly sprouting from the earth.

"Your Highness, there are too many zombies, we don’t have enough soldiers, we can’t hold them off, better make plans early!"

A confidant secretly reported to Li Mingzhe, seeing the situation turning dire.

Li Mingzhe’s face showed difficulty as he looked towards the tall European man beside him.

"Your fighting spirit is far too weak!"

Jie Susi shook his head.

After learning of the impending zombie attack, he and Li Mingzhe planned to hold out in the city, and if they could just survive this ordeal, Li Mingzhe would win the hearts of the military and citizens of the entire province. Then he could recruit more soldiers, march north to Hancheng, kill the queen mother, and reclaim the throne.

But now, Quanzhou City was about to fall.

"These are my people, I implore Lord Jie Susi to think of a way, please!"

Li Mingzhe cried out loudly, bowing deeply to Jie Susi.

"It’s not good! Not good at all! Zombies have appeared inside the city!"

Beneath the city wall, someone was beating a gong, warning everyone to get ready.

Li Mingzhe’s body trembled.

"Abandon the city!"

Jie Susi’s gaze became firm, showing a trace of ruthlessness, "Go directly to Hancheng, kill the king and usurp the throne!"

No matter what, I must take advantage of this chaos!
