“Reba, did you see how the little guy disappeared?”
Wu Tianzhen asked.
Dilireba was bewildered. She shook her head. “I didn’t see anything, it’s so strange, how come he always disappears without a trace.”
Panzi also shook his head, indicating he hadn’t seen anything.
The Fat Man asked, “Hey, young comrade, who is this little guy you’re talking about? He fell into that white mist and is still alive and kicking, he’s on par with Fat Ye, right?”
Panzi sneered. “You think you’re on par with the little guy? You’re not even worthy of holding his shoes!”
The Fat Man’s eyes widened, and he roared, “Don’t you dare talk shit! You call that mute over here, and let Fat Ye have a one-on-one with him!”
Wu Tianzhen looked at the Fat Man with disdain and ignored him, instead shining his flashlight around, trying to find Zhang Lin.
Soon, he noticed the direction those archaeologists had left from. He could vaguely see their figures, though they were blurry.
And behind them, it seemed like there was one more person.
“Panzi, look, isn’t there an extra person behind those archaeologists?”
“That person, could it be Mùnyóupíng?”
Wu Tianzhen said in a low voice.
Panzi quickly shone his flashlight in that direction and sure enough, he saw a figure behind those blurry figures!
It was easy to recognize. First of all, his way of walking was different from the archaeologists. He walked normally, like an ordinary person, effortlessly, as if strolling in a leisurely courtyard.
Besides that, there was another very identifiable feature: he was carrying a sword on his back!
Wasn’t that exactly the same as Zhang Lin’s back?
“It’s definitely the little guy!”
Panzi’s pupils constricted, and he said in shock, “What is the little guy doing, why is he following those archaeologists?”
Wu Tianzhen got up and walked towards the archaeologists. He said, “I have to go after him!”
As he spoke, he was about to follow Zhang Lin.
However, he was grabbed by the Fat Man. “You’re not going to die, are you? If you get discovered by those archaeologists, you’ll be their teammate!”
Wu Tianzhen said, “Mùnyóupíng is okay, maybe those archaeologists aren’t much of a threat.”
The Fat Man said, “Do you really think you can compare to that mute? You don’t even know when he left, I watched carefully, that guy breathes long and deep, without a sound, like a ghost. He’s following those archaeologists, as long as he doesn’t make a sound, he’ll be fine!”
The Fat Man’s words left Wu Tianzhen feeling helpless.
Indeed, the Fat Man spoke bluntly, but his words made sense.
At this time, Dilireba also said, “Tianzhen, the tentacles on those archaeologists’ heads are a kind of parasite, called Shixian Worms, after a human gets parasitized, they become walking corpses. Once they discover you, they will attack. And they’re very strong, if you get bitten, the parasite will enter your body. You’ll suffer organ failure and die in a short time.”
The Fat Man clapped his hands and nodded. “This female comrade is speaking the truth. If we disturb those things, we won’t be able to fight back. We’ll become those bugs’ hosts too.”
After hearing what the two of them said, Wu Tianzhen could only give up.
However, he thought for a moment, and said, “Alright, we can’t just abandon Mùnyóupíng, can we? Besides, this place is dangerous, without Mùnyóupíng, we can’t get out. How about we quietly follow them, keep our distance, we should be fine, right?”
The Fat Man sneered, “You’re lighting a lamp in a toilet, you’re going to die! You guys can go if you want, Fat Ye’s not going to go to my death.”
Then he was about to turn around and leave.
However, Dilireba and Wu Tianzhen ignored him.
Seeing this, the Fat Man stopped, not sure what he was thinking, then said, “Fine, Fat Ye will be merciful, without Fat Ye, you’ll probably die without even knowing how.”
Wu Tianzhen couldn’t help but laugh, and then the group quickly followed, but they didn’t dare get too close, they could only follow from afar.
“What do you guys think, what is Mùnyóupíng following those archaeologists for? It’s so dangerous.”
Wu Tianzhen asked softly.
Dilireba and Panzi both shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know.
The Fat Man said, “Don’t look at him being cold and emotionless, maybe he has a secretly passionate heart, he’s just looking for a sense of existence by following that thing, right?”
Wu Tianzhen glanced at the Fat Man and didn’t bother with him.
Meanwhile, the audience in the live broadcast was already arguing.
“Holy crap! The little guy is so daring, what’s he following those archaeologists for?”
“Could it be that he’s been controlled by the archaeologists? Or maybe he’s been parasitized by those bugs?”
“I think it’s possible! I think this guy is nothing special, why is he acting so mysterious? He’s just a joke.”
“What nonsense are you talking? Didn’t you see that the little guy’s way of walking is different from those archaeologists?”
“Ignore them, these keyboard warriors just want to blacken the name of anything for the sake of it.”
“Yeah, if you talk to them, you’ve already lost.”
“Where’s Director Lin? Where’s Director Lin? What does the old man think about this?”
Zhang Lin’s fans started to argue with the keyboard warriors.
Many people were also asking for Lin Zhiyu’s opinion.
Lin Zhiyu did not disappoint his fans. He soon appeared in the live broadcast and said, “After the Shixian Worms parasitize a human body, they rely on the human’s empty eye sockets and hearing to observe the surroundings. Theoretically, as long as you follow behind them and don’t make a sound, the Shixian Worms won’t be able to detect you.”
“So, I dare to guess, Comrade Zhang Lin knows this, so he’s following behind those archaeologists. He obviously wants to investigate something through those archaeologists.”
After hearing Lin Zhiyu’s words, Zhang Lin’s fans felt reassured.
And those keyboard warriors finally quieted down at this point, finally stopping their antics.
At the same time.
Captain Xing said strangely, “What is Zhang Lin following those archaeologists for? He’s so brave, how dare he do that? If he disturbs those Shixian Worms, it’ll be terrible!”
Zhang Boyu said, “Director Lin said just now, as long as you follow behind the Shixian Worms and don’t make a sound, you’ll be fine. Other people might not be able to do it, but Zhang Lin should be fine, he always moves silently, without a sound.”
Captain Xing was relieved after hearing this. However, he said, “This is too outrageous. Even Director Lin, this legendary figure, is paying attention to Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin is truly a celebrity now!”
