"God Lin, you are my Superman!"
"What Superman? It’s God!"
The crowd gushed compliments at Lin Baici with a buzz of voices.
Fang Tianhua got excited and tried to imitate, but before he could even put the bottle on his head, he got slapped by Fei Xiao.
"You wastrel! Who wastes stuff like that?"
Fei Xiao cursed loudly.
Fang Tianhua was stunned by the hit, but he understood his behavior was inappropriate.
This water belonged to Lin Baici; he could waste it however he wanted, but Fang himself didn’t have that right.
Fang Tianhua apologized.
Fei Xiao nodded. His voice was loud, a reminder to others that they were not the same as Lin Baici—he could pour water over his head, but they couldn’t.
Kim Myungjin was just about to use the water to wipe her face and neck, seeking relief from the heat, when she heard this and felt embarrassed.
"It’s okay, go ahead and wash, I still have plenty!"
Lin Baici said with a smile. Fresh chapters posted on novel·fiɾe·net
Although Lin Baici said this, Kim Myungjin did not wash her face.
"Does anyone want something to eat?"
Lin Baici asked, but hardly anyone responded since it was too hot to have any appetite.
After rehydrating, they continued on their way.
"We have no way back now, if we want to survive, we must find God’s bones as soon as possible!"
Fei Xiao, as a qualified leader, shouted, boosting morale.
Another quarter of an hour walked, and Gu Qingqiu suddenly cried out.
Gu Qingqiu pointed to the west.
On the horizon, a black shadow could be faintly discerned, resembling some sort of tall tower structure.
The crowd was excited; having a destination made things easier.
"Let’s power through, everyone!"
Fang Tianhua encouraged the group.
The group walked for a few more minutes until Gu Qingqiu, once again the first, spotted a problem.
At the three o’clock direction, on the horizon, a vast expanse of gray merged with the sky, indistinguishable from one another, and they were rushing forth like a stampede of wild horses.
"What... what is that?"
"Damn, is that a sandstorm?"
"We’re done for! We’re done!"
Each person’s face showed a look of terror, and the more cowardly among them turned to run.
"Come back here, where do you think you can run to?"
Outrun a sandstorm in the desert?
"Everyone, come quickly, hold hands!"
Fei Xiao directed, now it was a case of desperate measures.
Lin Baici took out the World War II medal confiscated in the Mad Maid game, and after shouting ’Ura’, a tank was summoned forth.
Fei Xiao and Fang Tianhua were dumbfounded once again.
How many more amazing things do you have on you?
Are you really a newcomer?
Fang Tianhua suddenly felt sure that Lin Baici must be kept by Xia Hongyao; otherwise, he was too rich!
Everyone looked at Lin Baici.
In the moment when the sandstorm arrived, having such a hiding place was nothing short of a blessed sanctuary—a heavenly luxury.
"Yue Yu, Ying Zhen, get under the tank!"
At least that way they wouldn’t need to worry about being blown away.
"Can’t we go inside it?"
Fang Tianhua wondered.
"This thing can’t fit people!"
Cai Wenqi gazed longingly at Lin Baici, hoping for protection.
"Let Qingqiu and her take cover there too!"
Xia Hongyao, as a God Hunter, felt the need to demonstrate some style.
"You two, come here!"
Lin Baici commanded: "Quickly!"
"You, you, and you too, crawl under there."
Lin Baici then picked three young girls who seemed to be high school students, instructing them to squeeze under the chassis.
with bright futures ahead, they tried not to die here.
Lin Baici began taking items out of the Black Tripod Bowl, such as bags of flour, boxes of canned goods, and crates of bottled water...
"Quick, pile them up, put the lighter ones on the bottom, and the heavy ones on top."
Lin Baici wanted to use these items to build a small bunker, though he wasn’t sure if it would work.
Everyone immediately sprang into action.
The sandstorm arrived quickly, and the previously scorching desert was suddenly struck by strong winds laden with sand and debris that pelted their bodies at high speed under the howling gusts.
Lin Baici handed out a few swimming goggles to Xia Hongyao and Fei Xiao and the others.
A few minutes later, the sandy sky reduced visibility drastically, to the point where one could no longer see anything, and the abundance of sand made it impossible to keep the eyes or mouth open.
Lin Baici, having never experienced such a natural disaster, was ignorant and hadn’t made scarves in time, but it wasn’t too late.
"Cover your mouth and nose!"
Lin Baici shouted, but the sound of the wind and the sand muffled his voice, and the moment he opened his mouth, he got a mouthful of sand.
There was no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
Lin Baici put on a gas mask and gave a few to Xia Hongyao and her group, while for the others, Lin Baici handed out face masks.
But one slip-up, and the box of masks flew away.
Fortunately, he had many more.
Lin Baici walked through the wild winds, staggering, stuffing masks into their hands, but it didn’t last long, as the massive sandstorm hit, blotting out the sky and submerging everything.
Besides the sand, nothing else was visible.
Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao huddled together, lying behind the tank.
The tank shook under the sandstorm, as if it was about to roll away like a forcefully kicked ball.
Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin huddled together, worrying about Lin Baici being blown away outside.
Lin Baici summoned the Muscle Buddha to prop up the tank, using it as a shelter to block the sand and wind for him.
"After this trip to God’s ruins ends, I’m going to stuff two tanks into the Black Tripod Bowl to use as fortresses."
Lin Baici planned to join the Jiuzhou Security Bureau; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to buy any of these armaments.
All Xia Hongyao could hear was the whistling of the wind by her ear, and she clung tight to Lin Baici. In such a situation, it felt as though she was on a deserted island, with Lin Baici by her side being the only real thing in the entire world, his warm body temperature and the large hands that held her back provided her with a tremendous sense of security.
"It’s so nice to be with Little Lin during the conquest of God’s ruins!"
Xia Hongyao never again wanted to separate from Lin Baici.
Suddenly, Lin Baici noticed that Xia Hongyao squeezed his hand harder. He wasn’t sure if she felt uncomfortable, and just as Lin Baici was about to check, he heard the Eater God give a warning.
