“It’s so hot!”
Dalton wiped the sweat from his forehead.
For some reason, it had been getting hotter since they started digging again.
The sweat on their bodies increased dramatically.
“What’s happening? Why has it suddenly become so hot?”
Buck shouted out, guessing, “Did we possibly start digging near a volcano?”
“What should we do then? Change our direction?”
Digee, also uncomfortably hot, asked anxiously.
“Boss, what should we do?”
Linn didn’t behave like the other three with their complaints, instead he sought guidance from Link.
This whole matter was quite strange.
The notification of the completion of the camp task hadn’t arrived long ago, but it had suddenly become so hot.
No one with a sound mind would believe that there is no connection between the two.
Besides, Linn clearly remembered that the only variable in the third reconstruction experiment, which Link was paying close attention to, was temperature.
If it was getting hotter, unless they were being cremated, it meant that the temperature was rising.
So, Linn was certain that Link was the one who had completed the camp task.
After all, when they left the underground laboratory and tunnel of the Mid-river Sandbar.
Link deliberately let everyone leave first, but he himself didn’t go to the river until more than two hours later.
He must have arranged something during this time.
These were Linn’s speculations, of course, he wouldn’t reveal them.
Linn then vaguely brought up his questions.
What he asked was not about the rising heat, but about Team Monroe becoming increasingly indifferent,
And about Elise Clark’s unpredictable temper, as well as her team’s.
Especially Elise, Linn was more wary of.
It’s often not the cunning ones to be afraid of, but those who are prone to extremes.
Linn couldn’t figure out what Link’s attitude towards Elise and Monroe, as well as their teams, was.
So he questioned indirectly.
“Do what we should do.”
After glancing at Lanny Taylor, who had been silent after receiving the watch notification, Link provided an answer that seemed like nonsense.
Linn suddenly understood.
Means cooperate if we should, fight if the relations sour.
He nodded, giving Buck and Dalton a look.
The Brotherhood Group grasped his intention immediately, and quietly heightened their alert level.
The Social Phobia Group followed suit.
Actually, compared to Elise and Monroe, Link was more wary of Lanny Taylor.
Elise and Monroe could stir open conflicts at most.
If Lanny betrayed them at a critical moment, that would be far from good.
“Relax, I do what I say.”
Lanny noticed that Link was looking at her, guessing the profound meaning behind his gaze, she quickly figured out the reason and stated her position.
She didn’t seem very determined, and her words were quite ambiguous.
Generally, such words were just to fool people, and should not be trusted.
But Link did believe her.
He remained wary of Lanny, but he put Monroe before her in his priority list, only second to Elise.
“What the heck have you done?”
Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Elise, who couldn’t hold it back anymore, suddenly turned around to go to Link and yelled at him, “Why has it suddenly become so hot? I hate heat the most! Is it something you did?”
Link replied indifferently, “What does this have to do with me?”
“You know it very well.”
Elise’s face showed a manic expression, giving the impression that she was about to explode, “Don’t think by denying it the problem will just go away. Nobody is an idiot that they would be fooled by you!”
Link replied earnestly, “I never took anyone for an idiot, but I really don’t know anything.”
“Hmph!”
Elise glared furiously at Link, and then walked back to her team, holding back her anger, she ordered loudly, “Hurry up and start digging upwards, lest we get roasted before we escape!”
Luckily, she was just upset, not irrational, and didn’t lose her temper.
Even though she was angry, she still restrained herself.
Having been silent ever since they started digging again, Monroe, said, “We’re together on this.”
The two teams immediately changed the direction of the tunnel, from being an arc upward, to a slant upward.
“Link, what about us?”
Jasmine, who was in charge of the digging, asked for Link’s opinion upon seeing this.
“Just like them, together with them.”
Link did not insist on the original plan to keep digging straight.
Instead, he went along with the changes, opting to return to the surface earlier.
The temperature was continuously rising, continuing to stay underground would really roast them.
“Okay.”
Jasmine replied, immediately leading her team members to change the digging route.
The teams that were divided once again joined hands.
The cooperation remained intact, able to work together.
But there was no more small talk, only quiet and silence.
On the surface…
In the Mountain Basin…
The team “Pure Blood Will” successfully entered the basin, swiftly occupying key terrains, and started searching.
A few teams of the Opposition Camp, fast in their progress, had also reached the periphery of the basin.
“Pure Blood Will” searched for half a day, apart from a few abandoned hideout fortifications, tunnels, and trenches, they didn’t find a single person.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
“How can there be not a single person?”
“Search, keep searching for me!”
“Even if they fly to the heavens or burrow beneath the earth, you have to find them!”
Parry Percival roared, like he had gone mad.
From the moment they received the message, they rushed over without stopping.
They even found people blocking Link Grande’s escape route on the way.
Link Grande was trapped beyond all doubt.
How could they not find the people?
Parry was so furious that he was becoming irrational.
