[Subscribe Plea]_2 Lin Baici whispered an apology and pressed her corpse down.
“What are you doing?”
Guo Zheng did not understand; surely Lin Baici wouldn’t have any interest in playing with corpses, would he?
“I want to see if adding a person can slow down the drainage of vital energy and blood!”
Lin Baici did not hide his intentions, instead focusing quietly to sense any changes in his body.
Everyone paid close attention.
“Your method is correct, but this corpse has been drained dry by the wine, you should have chosen those two on the ground that the wine ghost ate.”
“Its consumption is rather rough, leaving quite a lot of vital energy and blood in the corpses.
If put into the wine jar, they would help you all hold out for a bit longer.”
The speed at which the wine drained vital energy and blood was consistent, meaning there was a saturation point.
If Lin Baici’s wine jar had an extra corpse to help alleviate the drain, he naturally could hold out for a while longer.
Upon hearing this comment, Lin Baici immediately ordered Muscle Buddha to lift the three corpses that the wine ghost had eaten from the ground, stuffing one each to Hua Yue Yu and Xia Hongyao, leaving the last for himself.
“Don’t be disgusted, it can save your life!”
While consoling, Lin Baici moved Liu Liu’s corpse out of the wine jar.
Xia Hongyao was curious; she was now somewhat annoyed that she couldn’t deduce anything herself.
I shouldn’t be stupid; it’s just that Lin Baici is too strong, which makes me seem dumb.
Lin Baici shared his analysis with everyone.
After everyone listened, they wore peculiar expressions.
Especially Guo Zheng, whose killing intent was aroused.
Indeed, to stay alive, he suddenly leaped out of the wine jar and rushed at lightning speed towards the boy closest to him, punching him twice in the head, knocking him unconscious.
Then he dragged him out and pulled him into his own wine jar.
“What are you doing?”
Xia Hongyao was shocked.
Guo Zheng did not reply but simply strangled the boy and then looked at Lin Baici.
He didn’t care about Xia Hongyao’s reaction, as long as Lin Baici didn’t condemn him.
“Can’t you be less brutal?
With your physique, you could hold out for a while longer!”
“Heh, it won’t happen again!”
Guo Zheng apologized.
The others watched the scene, feeling sympathy for the misfortune of another.
“Oh, you’re pretty cunning.
But that’s the demeanor of a top predator in the food chain!”
The Eater God praised.
“What are you talking about?
I don’t understand at all,” Lin Baici feigned ignorance.
“With your intelligence, you could not possibly fail to realize what reaction Guo Zheng would have after you spoke those words, yet you spoke them anyway!”
“Because in your eyes, most of these commoners are likely to be drained dry by the wine and die, so instead of letting their lives go to waste, it’s better to let Guo Zheng make use of them!”
“Guo Zheng staying alive serves as a top cannon fodder for you, creating surplus value!”
The Eater God commented.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Lin Baici’s expression darkened.
Having submerged a corpse, Guo Zheng felt significantly better, and he couldn’t help but admire Lin Baici.
If he could somehow get out of Divine Ruins alive, he would definitely recommend Lin Baici to the boss.
“By the way, Brother Lin, don’t we just have to wait until those eunuchs come to move the wine to get out?”
Guo Zheng had calmed down, but his words terrified Gu Rongjie and the others.
Because, given Guo Zheng’s character, he would definitely repeat the dreadful act of killing people to use their corpses as ‘batteries.’
The iron door of the wine cellar was opened, its rusty hinges turning and making a grating noise.
A group of eunuchs walked down.
“Hurry and move it, and don’t be delaying the king’s wine banquet, ruining the king’s pleasure.”
The one leading was that eunuch with the blue hat, who stood to the side, hands tucked in his wide sleeves, supervising and urging the workers.
“Sir, can you move us first?”
Lv Yingxi shouted out.
The blue hat eunuch didn’t even look at her, as if he hadn’t heard.
Du Xin despaired, seeing the eunuchs’ intention to start moving the wine jars from near the exit stairs first.
By the time it came to their turn, the corpses would be maggot-infested.
“How about moving us first?
We’ve already soaked the wine!”
“The wine we’ve soaked tastes good!”
Everyone begged tearfully.
Anyone who shouts again will get a hundred slaps across the face!”
The blue hat eunuch had no authority to execute civilians, but he did have the power to enforce some punishments.
The usually vocal Du Xin, upon hearing about the slapping, immediately shut her mouth.
“Little Linzi, what do we do?
If they leave this time, who knows when the next time they come in to move the wine will be?”
Xia Hongyao muttered softly, “Why not fight our way out?”
“Bad idea; if we fight our way out now, we’re likely to lure all the royal garden guards here!”
Guo Zheng didn’t want to do this because if he was going to kill, he should have done it earlier.
Now that there was sunk cost involved, breaking the situation with violence felt like a loss to him.
More importantly, he felt that using force wouldn’t solve this rule contamination; it’s a death sentence.
“God Lin, think of something quickly!”
“Sir!” ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel~fire~net
The blue hat eunuch wouldn’t usually pay any attention to these medicine men, but when he saw Lin Baici speaking, he showed a willingness to listen.
Could there be a chance to make money?
Lin Baici took out a gold bean and flashed it quickly.
“Ahem!” The blue hat eunuch coughed twice: “Continue moving, I will go see those medicine men to prevent any mishap.”
After saying that, the blue hat eunuch walked over to Lin Baici and stared at him.
“We’ve already soaked these wines, how about you move them out now, and I will give you a large sum of money!”
