Bai Jing couldn't think of any other possible situation.
She asked in a low voice: "What should we do with this brand? Should we ask Han Yuesong and the others directly?"
"No. They don't mean to reveal their identities. Even if you ask them, they won't tell you." Lin Wu took it and stuffed it into his pocket, saying, "Let me see if I can remember it. If not, I'll check it out when I get out. It won't cause any trouble for now."
Bai Jing thought about it and felt that this was a good idea, so he nodded.
Suddenly, Lin Wu stopped abruptly and pulled Bai Jing along with him.
Bo Ning and others who were following behind also stopped.
"What's wrong?" Bai Jing was puzzled.
The people behind stopped one by one and asked in confusion.
Lin Wu looked around and asked, "Did you hear any sound?"
"sound?"
Bai Jing and Bo Ning were both startled and looked around.
Bai Ning asked doubtfully, "No, it's quite quiet here. Miss Lin, did you hear wrongly?"
Lin Wu frowned slightly.
"No! She didn't hear it wrong!"
Ren Ke at the back suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
She looked a little serious. She closed her eyes and listened carefully, then suddenly opened them. "It seems like a buzzing sound, not too far from here, from..."
"It came from above!"
Lin Wu raised his head and looked upward.
This stunned the others.
Han Yuesong followed and said tactfully: "Ms. Lin, we didn't hear any sound, did you..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused and Han Yuesong also looked up suddenly.
Because at this moment, he really heard the buzzing sound that Ren Ke mentioned, and it really came from above.
Chang Chi in the middle looked slightly unhappy and said immediately, "Don't worry about what it is, just run!"
In fact, there was no need for him to remind them anymore, because Lin Wu in front had already taken the lead in pulling Bai Jing forward, and Bai Ning and Ren Ke followed without hesitation.
Chang Chi and Chang San looked at each other and quickly took their people away.
The archaeologists behind them were still a little confused, thinking that this reaction was too exaggerated. Even if there was something, there was no need to run so fast, right? "What are you standing there for? Run!" Luan Zhi was the only one who trusted Lin Wu and the others' judgment. He reminded them and immediately chased after them.
Wang Lin thought of Chang Chi's ridicule and said, "You said I was timid, but I think they are even tinier! It only took a short time to scare them..."
Wang Lin stopped abruptly after taking a casual glance.
When the flashlight shone upwards, it revealed a huge shadow that was rapidly approaching them. In the blink of an eye, it was much closer and they could vaguely see the outlines of some large unidentified creatures, covering them like a tide, giving a strong sense of oppression.
"No! Run!"
Gao Zhouwen's face suddenly changed and he shouted loudly.
The people in the archaeological team realized the seriousness of the situation at this time, and they quickly ran after Lin Wu and others who had already run far away. Among them, the top leader Wang Lin was frightened and ran very fast.
But Professor Zhang is old and does not have the physical strength of young people. Not only is he slow, but he almost fell down in his panic.
During this short delay, the shadow above came closer and could be seen clearly. It was a giant black insect with wings that was bigger than a basketball!
At the same time, Lin Wu and others in front ran dozens of meters, but they could clearly hear the buzzing sound that was getting louder and louder. Looking back, they could almost see the outline of the shadow.
"Those..." Bo Ning was surprised and ran faster, "Ms. Lin, how did you hear and discover them in advance?"
Lin Wu had a bad premonition and immediately slowed down. He asked everyone to take out the hiking sticks they had used earlier, wrap them in clothes, pour alcohol on them, and light them to make simple torches for prevention.
She was already very familiar with this, and she did it very skillfully. She answered Bo Ning directly while doing it: "I have received special training in the past, and I am very sensitive to certain sounds."
As soon as he finished speaking, several wailing screams from the archaeological team were heard from behind.
They subconsciously turned around and saw a horrifying scene.
Some members of the archaeological team were able to run quite fast, but some were caught up by the flying insects and were bitten when they touched them.
I don’t know what kind of insect it was. Not only was it huge, making people’s scalps numb, but its teeth were also very sharp. The person who was bitten fell to the ground with a scream.
The first person to be bitten was Professor Zhang, who was left behind. The two people who were holding him were also bitten in an attempt to protect him, but they managed to help Professor Zhang escape. Professor Zhang rolled and crawled forward injured, panicking and calling for help.
Han Yuesong really asked people to turn back, but the two people at the back were not so lucky. They were overwhelmed by the insects and only screams could be heard.
In an instant, the archaeological team was tripped up, and the only ones who escaped were Luan Zhi, Jian Chonghe, Gao Zhouwen, and Wang Lin and Qiu Mei who ran desperately without even turning their heads, shouting for help. And behind them were many flying insects.
At a quick glance, there were probably about a hundred flying insects in total, which was quite a headache.
"What should we do? Should we save them?" Bai Jing glanced at the two people following Ren Ke and suddenly asked Lin Wu.
Before Lin Wu could answer, Chang Chi, who was following closely behind him, immediately said, "Save? Save your ass! Didn't the key Jian Chonghe run over here? The rest don't matter! Don't worry about them, let's run quickly, there's no need to take risks!"
Lin Wu's thoughts raced, and then he stopped, "Those bugs are faster than us, they will catch up with us."
"Ren Ke, take your people over to help the archaeological team; Chang Chi, light a few as well." She ordered calmly, "Bai Jing, I'm going to bury some explosives. When everyone comes over, I'll light them. You help me throw a torch. It should be able to burn a large area. I don't believe those bugs can keep up."
Bai Jing nodded without hesitation.
After hearing this, Ren Ke simply turned around and rushed back.
But the two people beside her were a little hesitant, and after being glared at by Ren Ke, they followed reluctantly.
Only after seeing this did Chang Chi believe that Lin Wu was really going to take the risk. He didn't know what to say, and when Chang San pushed him, he resigned himself to doing as he was told.
Seeing this, the people who came over didn't dare to stay at all. They didn't even stop and continued to run forward.
Instead, Luan Zhi stepped forward without saying a word to help resist the flying insects.
Gao Zhouwen and Jian Chonghe paused, looked at Lin Wu who was already flipping the detonators, and stopped as well, imitating him to make torches.
As the distance got closer, everyone could see clearly that the insects had very large heads, which were somehow grown, and had a mouthful of sharp fangs. They couldn't help but suspect that the previous deaths were caused by them, but they couldn't believe it and felt creepy just by looking at them.
Fortunately, those flying insects are not invulnerable; they are afraid of fire.
Because of the torches, no one came close, so Chang San took the opportunity to lead his men to shoot and kill some of them.
Han Yuesong and others who were trapped not far away also hurriedly made a fire. Fortunately, Ren Ke and others who came over gave them some time to catch their breath.
"We can't protect everyone, and we don't need to." Lin Wu suddenly spoke up while tying the detonator. "It's enough to have a few useful people come over. For the rest, let them leave it to fate. We've done our best."
