Chapter 537

~7 min read 1,256 words

There were many things he couldn't help with; the key was that in this environment, the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac had already bloomed.

And two archaeological team members were affected!

Under this influence, all their subsequent choices were probably meaningless.

Seeing Wang Pangzi take out the bombs, Yang Lu shook her head hurriedly. Suddenly, Wang Pangzi's gaze froze.

At first, when Xu Lang and Xiao Peng became like that, they had been trying hard to save the other party, but in the end, they found that saving them was meaningless.

So they gave up!

But I didn't expect that at this moment, they, who were originally lying on the ground, because the hundred-claw hook came off or because the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac bloomed—I don't know which point it was?

They actually stood up, and the moment they stood up, they walked slowly towards the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac without hesitation.

The most important thing is that Xu Lang and Xiao Peng's calves had clearly been injured by the hundred-claw hook; at least when they walked, their steps would stumble.

But now they were like machines, and their steps didn't change at all.

Yang Lu could probably understand that since it was a kind of hypnosis under the effect of hallucination, they couldn't feel any pain, and this method also affected their physical mechanisms.

She thought the blooming of the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac would affect everyone, but they observed each other, and no one became like Xu Lang and Xiao Peng.

A suspicious expression appeared in Yang Lu's eyes; she really didn't understand if they wouldn't be affected by standing in this range.

Then they just needed to find a way to bypass the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac, provided that they wouldn't be affected in the range of the detour.

That way they could escape with their lives and not have to face this Corpse-Fragrant Konjac.

But no matter how many thoughts they had, they were ultimately just thoughts; they could only watch the changes quietly.

Wang Pangzi also put away the explosives at this time; although watching these two people go to their deaths was too cruel, they had already made efforts before.

Trying to help them had no effect, so naturally, there was nothing he could do now.

Wang Pangzi sighed fiercely, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged into his heart. He looked at Yang Lu and saw the other party staring at these two people, watching the changes quietly.

At this time, Wang Pangzi understood that since Yang Lu didn't have a good way to save these two people, why should he try to save them?

The last hope in his heart was extinguished!

Knowing that one cannot lose the big for the small, sometimes facing such danger, reduction in personnel is inevitable. The two of them walked like that.

At this time, through the light of the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac in the lens, one could see that there was nothing else in their eyes.

Instead, there was a hint of obsession; apart from this obsessed and dull light, there was no fear, or negative emotions caused by pain.

They seemed to be on a pilgrimage, looking at the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac; that was the only existence in their eyes. I don't know if they had a last bit of subconsciousness in their hearts at this moment.

Yang Lu shook her head and sighed at this time; it seemed that letting them walk into the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac was not the best result.

The key was that no other situation could be observed at the moment.

Yang Lu decided not to be so cruel, and immediately said: "Wang Pangzi, give me the gun."

Wang Pangzi took a deep breath; he understood what Yang Lu was going to do now. In fact, he could replace her in some things.

The key was that along the way, Wang Pangzi felt that he didn't provide much help to everyone.

Even under the three barriers before, the suspension bridge was destroyed, and he still didn't play much of a role; the last barrier still relied on Young Master Zhao.

And at this time, Wang Pangzi took a step forward. Yang Lu was stunned when she saw this; she didn't think Wang Pangzi would understand her intention, only thinking that the expression in Wang Pangzi's eyes meant he was also controlled.

Yang Lu was just about to speak, but Wang Pangzi hurriedly raised his gun barrel, his eye sockets already moist.

Yang Lu understood the problem in an instant, and almost simultaneously, Hu Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi had such tacit understanding; the moment Yang Lu asked for the gun.

Both of them had already reacted, and at this time, Hu Hu Bayi also raised his gun barrel.

The two of them didn't even check the situation, one on the left and one on the right.

In the next moment, only two gunshots were heard.

The gunshots were fired in a synchronized state, all hitting the heart position; one shot landed on Xu Lang, and the other shot landed on Xiao Peng.

And at this time, both of their eye sockets were moist.

After Wang Pangzi put down the gun, he took a deep breath, and tears had already fallen, then he said slowly: "Brother, I'm sorry; this is better than you becoming a monster or living a life worse than death."

He understood that this was the point Yang Lu was most worried about. If there hadn't been the situation of the First Archaeological Team to compare with, they could have completely watched this situation happen.

Perhaps after walking to the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac, the two of them would only have blurred consciousness, but at present, there were no fatal injuries on their bodies; under this premise, perhaps they could still be saved.

But now, connecting Wang Wang Canghai, the project, the Ancient City of Jingjue, and all these things together, no one would be too optimistic about what would happen next.

Yang Lu made this choice at this juncture based on Zhang Lin's words and the situation that occurred with the First Archaeological Team.

She believed that some things needed to be carried by herself; she didn't expect Wang Pangzi and Hu Hu Bayi to be so decisive in ending the lives of the two people directly.

This could also be considered ending their pain. When all this ended early, the burden in some people's hearts would be reduced, but for the two of them, the burden in their hearts would also increase accordingly.

This was Xu Lang's wish; he didn't want to become a monster. Wang Pangzi remembered this sentence, so he felt it was only natural to do these things at this time.

It could also be considered helping Yang Lu make this decision.

Yang Lu didn't speak at this time, and the comments in the live stream were full of surprise; there were still some people who didn't understand.

[Why would Wang Pangzi suddenly do this? This is too cruel, killing teammates?!]

[This Xu Lang didn't do anything wrong either?!]

[Stop being a saint here; is it not cruel to let them become monsters?!]

[Xu Lang said before that he didn't want to become a monster!]

[So what? Compared to becoming a monster, is it more uncomfortable than dying?]

[Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back; you aren't a member of the Second Archaeological Team, how can you understand their feelings.]

[Stop yapping, let's see what the authorities say.]

It was precisely the authorities who didn't know what reasonable explanation to give at this time.
