Chapter 28
Bai Xi’s gaze flashed in changes and finally, an innocent smile appeared on her face.
“Maybe jiejie saw that our progress is so slow and was worried that we wouldn’t have a place to stay for the night, so she did it on purpose?” She looked in Bai Lin’s direction as if she trusted her. “Jiejie is such a good person.”
It more or less dampened everyone’s originally happy mood.
They were all elites from various fields. How could they admit that they were inferior to a young girl? That they have to rely on her charity to survive?
Furthermore, based on their understanding of Bai Lin, it was not impossible for her to humiliate them in such a way.
These two sentences caused the originally happy crowd to more or less hate Bai Lin.
Elites like them liked fools and hated people who were smarter than them. Not to mention, it was Bai Lin, someone they had never thought highly of.
Bai Xi quietly took in everyone’s expressions, and the smile at the corner of her mouth deepened.
“It looks like we’ll have a lot of points today. Should we go to the supply station and get something to eat?” Fan Feng was the first to break the silence. He held the biscuit bitterly. “I’ve had enough of this. Besides, it’s not nutritious to eat this every day.”
No one could refute Fan Feng’s opinion.
They were used to eating delicacies, so it was already unbelievable that they had eaten hardtacks for two days in a row.
They exchanged the birds Bai Lin gave them for 30 points. With the 32 points they had left, they decided to spend them all and have a good meal.
They were happy and enjoyed the meal.
After they had eaten and drunken their fill, they noticed that Bai Lin’s group had left the temporary campsite and had disappeared.
The audience could not see them either.
[Hello? Is the livestream down? Maintenance department?]
[My screen of the camera here is all black. Sometimes, there are other colors, but I can’t see anything clearly.]
[I can only hear the sound, but there are no images.]
[Bai Lin is indeed evil. She can even make the drone malfunction.]
[Hold on… Could they have shot down the machine? I was only focused on laughing at Bai Xi’s group just now and didn’t look carefully.]
[As someone who’s been paying attention to Bai Lin’s side, I can tell everyone clearly: yes, Bai Lin shot the machine down with a bow and arrow and has kidnapped it.]
Bai Lin skipped nimbly across the mountain ground and trees. The basket on her back was the drone wrapped in cloth.
Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang were already struggling to keep up, let alone Jin Ran, whose legs were about to break.
Bai Lin had to stop and wait for them every now and then.
Even when she stopped, she was not idle. She explained to the void, “What we’re going to do next is confidential, so we’ve taken some simple security measures. Later, we’ll restore your video interface, so please be patient.”
The pleasant drawl of her voice tingled the ears of the audience with headphones.
After the noise of branches rubbing against each other, there was the sound of footsteps landing on the ground. Bai Lin calmly said, “I’ve just come down from the tree. This tree is very tall, with rough bark and many branches, very suitable for climbing.”
Then, there was a little rapid breathing.
“San-ge, you haven’t trained for a long time, have you?” Bai Lin handed Zhou Guang a bottle of mineral water and sighed, “I didn’t expect that Yan-ge who looks so weak could run even better than my third brother. You’ve really impressed me.”
Yan Ruo’s deep eyes were smiley as he helplessly said, “Xiao Lin is the best. You’re carrying so many things and are still so agile.”
The girl was carrying everything they needed for this trip, and the others had nothing, but they still could not catch up to her.
Jin Ran was at the back of the team. When she finally caught up, her glasses were misty.
Bai Lin walked over to help her up. Jin Ran immediately leaned against her as if she had no bones. As Bai Lin wiped her sweat and fed her water, she thanked her in a slight panic.
Yan Ruo watched the interaction between Bai Lin and Jin Ran with a thoughtful gaze.
Bai Lin had a special desire to protect the weak.
She was like this to Jin Ran, and she was like this with him too.
He had never thought that he would be protected by a woman one day.
It felt… pretty good.
Bai Lin put down her basket and asked Jin Ran who had already recovered, ” Xiao Ran, do you still remember where you solved the question?”
Jin Ran’s memory was extremely good. She immediately reacted and looked at Bai Lin as if she was looking at a God. “I remember. They’re all around here.”
“You go and find the cards. The three of us will work here.” Bai Lin paused for a moment. “If you encounter any problem, climb up the tree first. Then, shout out loud. I’ll rush over immediately.”
“I won’t get lost,” Jin Ran quickly said.
“I don’t mean getting lost,” Bai Lin replied.
Jin Ran was confused.
