Although Lu Yuan discovered it relatively early, it still couldn't stop some team members from having symptoms for too long.
In just one day, Lu Yuan lost the lives of more than thirty of his team members.
At this moment, Lu Yuan absolutely hated those processing plants outside; they hadn't followed the regulations at all in manufacturing these protective suits.
In less than five days, the protective suits have suffered such serious damage. They still have a long way to go, and who knows if they can pull through.
In an instant, the terrifying cloud of death began to permeate the ranks.
Everyone began to feel fear, and some people were no longer willing to go out to deal with the termites.
Zhou Keke returned to the car with a helpless expression, her face very serious and her eyes filled with frustration.
"Brother Tian, it's still not working. Nobody wants to come out anymore!"
Lu Yuan sighed, "I didn't expect it to have such a serious impact!"
"Yes! After everyone found out about this, they were all worried about being corroded by formic acid. Apart from the people in our original team who are still holding on, the rest of us don't dare to come out anymore!"
"Okay! I understand! Has the communication equipment been restored?"
Zhou Keke shook her head: "Communications are still not restored; we can't contact the outside world at all!"
Lu Yuan was frustrated: "Damn it, they finally chose to abandon us! Tell everyone to turn on the walkie-talkies in the cars! I have something to say!"
"Okay! I'll notify them right now!"
Then Zhou Keke left the car and went outside to notify all the vehicles to turn on their walkie-talkie systems.
After a while, Zhou Keke came back and nodded to Lu Yuan: "Brother Tian, everything is ready!"
"Um!"
Lu Yuan nodded, then picked up the walkie-talkie and took a deep breath.
"Gentlemen, I am Tian Zhiguang, the temporary commander of the convoy! I've heard that you're all reluctant to come out lately, fearing you might lose your lives! To be honest, I myself am also very worried that I might lose my life here!"
However, consider this: if none of us come out, worried about termites infesting our bodies, then no one will come out.
That means we can only stay in the car, and one day our food will run out, our fuel will run out, and we won't be able to leave this place.
Do you really want to see all of us trapped in this place and become termite food?
Since everyone has chosen me, you should have some faith in me. I guarantee I can bring you all out safely!
...
Finally, I'll give you all half an hour to think it over. After we finish tomorrow's work, we can go back! Those who trust me, come out in half an hour! If you don't trust me, then wait where you are! This time, I won't force anyone!
After saying that, Lu Yuan hung up the call.
For a moment, the entire convoy fell silent; no one spoke as everyone pondered whether or not to trust Lu Yuan.
Waiting here now is a dead end, but going out might mean dying even faster.
This is a difficult choice between dying early and dying late.
As for Lu Yuan's later promise to lead everyone out of the pit, no one believed him, since the news that the pit's exit had been blocked had spread throughout the entire convoy.
Unless Lu Yuan knows the skills of flying and teleporting.
Half an hour later.
Lu Yuan picked up the walkie-talkie again.
"Half an hour has passed. I believe everyone has made their choice! You must choose to come with me or stay here to die."
At that moment, a voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Can...can we really leave here alive?"
"If we don't fight, we'll never leave here alive!"
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the team members behind him.
"Get ready! Check the vehicles, we're ready to go!"
The driver nodded and then started the car.
Then, the car Lu Yuan was in started moving forward.
The cars behind seemed to have lost contact; not a single one started up.
Even Chu Jialin now doubts whether Lu Yuan's words were just to comfort everyone or if he really had a solution.
However, after thinking for half an hour, he still couldn't figure out why Lu Yuan could say such things to everyone with such certainty.
But in the end, he watched Lu Yuan's car drive further and further away, and then looked at the team members behind him.
"I'm going to give it my all! What about you?"
The others exchanged glances and then began to nod in agreement.
"We'll follow you!"
"Yes, let's give it a shot! What if we have a chance!"
"That's right! To protect our homeland! We came here with the belief that we would die!"
"Charge! At worst, it's just a matter of life!"
"..."
The whispers in the crowd gradually escalated into screams.
Then, Chu Jialin nodded: "Drive! Follow them!"
Besides Chu Jialin's car, the other cars also followed suit and continued moving forward.
In the end, only a few vehicles remained where they were. They chose to give up, intending to go back and check the situation, and try to escape this terrifying cave.
Lu Yuan sat in the passenger seat and watched the car behind him slowly catch up, feeling a sense of relief.
If his words did not serve as a wake-up call for these people, then Lu Yuan might have to give up on them.
