Chapter 573: Yang Lu, Bring Out the Vajra Umbrella of the Mountain-Moving Chieftain

Just then a loud bang came from over there, and the stone statue was yanked straight out.

Immediately followed by a piercing scream, Yang Lu, who had been looking for equipment, whipped her head around.

Countless ants were seen pouring out of the hole beneath the stone statue.

"These are desert army ants, run!!!"

The camp instantly fell into total chaos, everyone began fleeing in blind panic.

Those whose legs were slower were already swallowed by the ant nest, reduced to bare white bones in an instant.

【What the heck are desert army ants? Anyone got a science lesson?】

【Holy shit that's terrifying, worse than sulfuric acid, could there be some big tomb hidden down there?】

【God damn tomb, can't you see they dug straight into an ant nest? These desert army ants are brutal as hell.】

【These things mainly live around the Amazon basin, how the hell did they end up here?】

【You guys are really cold-blooded, can't you see everyone's running for their lives? And you're calmly discussing it.】

【What's the point of panicking, can you even help? Besides, if that Young Master Zhao hadn't been giving such bullshit orders, this wouldn't have happened.】

Zhang Lin, who was watching the livestream, sighed at the barrage discussion.

Actually, that last person had a point — this was clearly asking for trouble. There's a limit to showing off; in a region like the desert, you can't just dig around recklessly when you find something.

At the start, Young Master Zhao had been making more noise than anyone, but now he was also the first to be dumbstruck.

His instinctive crisis reflex saved his life — Young Master Zhao ran like mad, and soon he was not only out of the encirclement, but had vanished from sight entirely.

"Zhao!"

Yang Lu suddenly shouted loudly — not that he couldn't run, but if he fled blindly like a headless chicken like this, getting lost in the desert would also mean death.

Young Master Zhao, already scared stiff, completely ignored her, leaping over the sand pile ahead and sprinting into the distance.

If anyone could see his face at that moment, they'd definitely get a shock — that face was already twisted beyond recognition.

But the livestream camera was especially attentive to him this time, just as Young Master Zhao tumbled down that sand dune.

The dutiful livestream camera captured a full shot of his back.

【Young Master Zhao's escape skills are seriously top-notch!】

【Question: look at the position of his pant leg, doesn't it look like there's something there?】

At that moment some expert posted a high-res screenshot, and everyone stared at that not-too-big, not-too-small yellow patch in deep thought.

【Is that his sphincter losing control? Those pants have pretty good absorption though.】

【Haha, Young Master Zhao is really famous now.】

【Sigh... Mr. Zhang's stuff isn't something he can handle, a Luo Pan isn't a juicer.】

【You think maybe there's something wrong with the Luo Pan itself?】

【I'll give you three seconds, apologize to Mr. Zhang, or I'll doxx you!】

【Damn it! What the hell did you eat, spraying shit out of your mouth!】

A wave of non-stop cursing — this viewer hadn't really thought much about it when sending that barrage, but now he was dumbfounded, realizing he'd basically signed his own death warrant.

He wanted to apologize right away, but tens of thousands of private messages kept flooding in. His phone suddenly felt searing hot, then the screen froze, and finally it died completely.

The phone's motherboard gave off a burnt smell. The guy's face fell, thinking to himself that he was wronged.

Young Master Zhao ran, while others broke out in a fan-shaped formation.

Yang Lu, as the leader, consciously stayed to cover the rear.

At this moment Hu Hu Bayi and Wang Wang Kaixuan stood on either side of her, facing the surging swarm of white ants together.

"What are you two doing? Get out of here, follow the main group, head east."

Wang Wang Kaixuan was not flustered at all, grinned and said: "Boss Yang, even though you're the leader, we can't let a woman cover the rear in a situation like this. Fatty's got your back."

Hu Hu Bayi said nothing, just nodded.

"Captain Yang, you go first, Commander Hu and I will cover the rear."

The reason for staying behind to cover the rear was, on one hand, to buy time for everyone to escape, and on the other, to see if they could find a way to eliminate the ant swarm once and for all.

If they only stalled for time without driving the ants back, the group could run, but they themselves would die here.

Yang Lu wanting to stay behind alone did have a certain confidence — the main thing was she was afraid her attacks would affect her teammates.

"Go!"

Yang Lu had no patience right now, and in this desperate moment, she directly roared.

Both men were stunned. They had assumed Yang Lu was ready to die heroically, but looking at the emotion in her eyes, it seemed like them being here would only get in the way.

Hu Hu Bayi was fine with it, but that look made Wang Wang Kaixuan feel his pride had been crushed.

"Captain Yang, that's not right of you..."

Wang Wang Kaixuan hadn't finished speaking, and Yang Lu had no patience for his blabber. Watching the ant swarm about to complete its encirclement, there was no time left.

Yang Lu stepped back and raised her foot.
