Chapter 167: The Fuse

Every time Bai Lin moved, the drones followed. The cameras blinking with a red light were like a monster’s eyes in the dark, pointing straight at her.
There was no expression on her face, and she was unmoved by Lizard’s provocation. She just walked on.
Lizard felt that she was at the end of her rope and could not help but laugh wildly. “Are you afraid? Nervous? If you regret it, you can still leave now.” Bang!
The sound of gunfire rang out in the empty hall. Bai Lin’s eyes were cold.
“Noisy.”
Through the monitor, Lizard trembled for some reason before he was engulfed by excitement.
Of course, he knew about the official refutation, but his desire for power and money was greater than his rationality.
It had been a long time since Bilina had appeared. Without her, the mercenary group she led had declined in all aspects. The other mercenary groups were eager to take the opportunity to rise up and become the leader of the industry.
However, no one dared to make a move. Bilina’s authority was still there, so the industry was still calm on the surface.
Quicksand Mercenary’s strength was average, and Lizard did not intend to be the first. The only thing he wanted to do was to muddy the waters in the industry and let the others fight.
They could take the opportunity to profit.
Bai Lin was the fuse.
Kill her and tell everyone that the person he killed was Bilina. Then, in the eyes of those in need, the mountain that was pressing down on them would be removed.
To kill Bai Lin, he could have just used the little trash that had just joined the team. But to kill Bilina, he had spent a huge sum of money to prepare 100 kilograms of explosives. He had also used the only time bomb that they had recently developed. He even hired someone who had been involved in the development of the system to hack it, turn the livestream on, and force it to be broadcasted to all platforms so that more people could see it.
He had given her enough attention and a humiliating yet grand death.
Lizard seemed to be able to imagine the days he would sleep on the mountain of gold after he was done, but he felt that something was wrong.
It had been 15 minutes. According to her normal speed, she should have arrived by now.
“You’re walking too slowly, Bilina,” Lizard said, frowning. “That little girl is dying.”
The screen suddenly flashed, and the black screen lasted for three seconds before returning to normal.
“What’s going on?
“The system was attacked by the production team just now, but I’ve already fixed it. It’s not a big problem.”
On the screen, Bai Lin started running and the cameras around her moved quickly. Everything seemed to be going in the direction he had expected.
Lizard’s strange feeling grew stronger and stronger. He said coldly, “Is it really fine?
“All good. Boss, you have to believe me!” the skinny man said confidently.
“Let’s take a look at the infrared map.”
The skinny man obediently pulled out the map from the system. The red dot that indicated Bai Lin was quickly approaching them. Other than that, there was no one else outside.
The hurried footsteps stopped at the door and Bai Lin appeared. The 20 or so people in the basement immediately raised their guns and pointed them at her.
She stood where she was, her eyes looking past the others and landing on Lizard.
Lizard’s ominous premonition grew stronger because of the incident just now. Perhaps it was because things were going too smoothly. His originally relaxed mood turned bad. Just in case, he ordered, “Why bring so many things when you’re about to die? The dagger is ready. Take off the rest and leave them there.”
Bai Lin was a little startled. She seemed to be hesitating.
“Hurry up!” Lizard shouted.
Bai Lin’s movements were slow and stiff at first, but her reluctance dispelled Lizard’s suspicion. He put back on a calm smile and said, “Bilina, you have one more chance to leave before I hand you my knife.”
At the same time, he unlocked the safety of the pistol, loaded it, and aimed at the unconscious Zhou Guang. “But if you take a step back, I’ll shoot immediately.”
Bai Lin paused for a moment. There was still no expression on her face, as if these words were meaningless to her. However, her movements of removing the things on her became faster.
She threw the last magazine of bullets on the ground, and the people next to her immediately came over to search her. After confirming that she was not a threat, they nodded to Lizard.
Lizard wanted to pull out his dagger, but he suddenly remembered that he had just given it to Bai Xi, and the latter had not returned it.
For the sake of ceremony, the dagger he had prepared was also beautiful. It was covered with gems and gold, and had three blood grooves on each side. The wound caused would bleed a lot and would not be easy to suture.
He tutted and turned to look at Bai Xi, saying unhappily, “How come you don’t know how to return the things you borrowed? Bring it over!”
