Why hasn't this person made a move yet?
Professor Chen began to have doubts.
He could feel Lin Yang's gaze piercing him like a sharp arrow.
He felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to get up, but he was afraid of revealing his true purpose.
The long wait made Professor Chen feel anxious and uneasy.
After much deliberation, he finally decided to take action.
He deliberately cried out twice, pretending to be injured, and then struggled to stand up.
He looked around blankly, as if searching for direction.
Lin Yang remained standing in place, quietly watching Professor Chen's every move.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.
They seemed to have seen through Professor Chen's trick.
Professor Chen found the camel with great difficulty and climbed up it with tremendous effort.
He slowly rode his camel to Lin Yang's side, a weak smile on his face:
"Is this Comrade Kobayashi?"
Lin Yang looked at Professor Chen with a playful smile on his face:
"Professor Chen, are you alright?"
"No, I'm fine."
Professor Chen waved his hand, "It's true that the old man is useless now, he almost died here."
He even coughed twice on purpose as he spoke.
Lin Yang smiled and said, "Professor Chen, you're overthinking it. You're still as strong as ever."
His words carried an elusive meaning.
Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Professor Chen's heart tightened.
But he quickly regained his composure: "Comrade Xiaolin, please don't try to comfort me."
He sighed as he spoke, as if he truly felt helpless because of his old age and frail health.
Lin Yang's lips curled into a meaningful smile:
"Professor Chen, you're overthinking it. I'm just telling the truth."
"Think about it, at your age, to encounter such a major storm."
"If they really get lost, they'll most likely die."
"But now? You've not only come out of it, you're doing it quite steadily."
"What does this mean? It means you're still very healthy and vigorous despite your age!"
Professor Chen felt that something was off about what Lin Yang was saying.
This sounds like a compliment, but it feels like there's something more to it.
However, he didn't think much of it.
After all, the main task this time was to set up a trap and clear oneself of suspicion.
He coughed lightly twice to cover his unease, then changed the subject:
"Comrade Lin, how are the others? Are they all alright?"
Lin Yang pointed ahead: "They're following An Liman in front."
Professor Chen said, "We need to catch up quickly, or we'll fall behind."
With that, he took the lead and rode his camel forward.
Watching Professor Chen's retreating figure, Lin Yang sneered, "Old man, you're really good at pretending."
Professor Chen, who was in front of him, sighed inwardly.
It seems this plan wasn't very successful!
Lin Yang seems to have become suspicious of him.
But it doesn't matter, they still have a backup plan.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
The two hurried along, one in front of the other, and soon spotted the main group.
However, at this moment, they discovered that the main force seemed to be encountering difficulties.
All the camels huddled together, motionless, awaiting their impending death.
The surrounding storm grew stronger and stronger, as if it would swallow them whole.
"It's all over, it's really all over this time!"
Anliman, the old man, trembled and muttered to himself, his face even more grim than the sandstorm.
Wang Pangzi grew impatient and glared at him, saying:
"Old man, if you keep spouting nonsense, believe me, I'll make sure you're the first one to die!"
Hu Bayi quickly grabbed Wang Pangzi: "Fatty, calm down."
Anliman shrank his neck, but still insisted on saying:
"Bosses, I'm not trying to scare you, but if this black storm comes, we're all doomed."
"Old man Hu will not let us off the hook."
Fatty Wang scoffed, "What do you mean by 'big Hu' or 'big Hu'?"
"I, Fatty, don't believe in this nonsense. If you keep spouting this nonsense, believe me or not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yang and Professor Chen arrived on camels.
"Professor Chen, that's great, you're finally back."
When Hao Aiguo and the others saw Professor Chen, they all surrounded him and greeted him with a cacophony of questions.
Lin Yang then looked at Hu Bayi and the others: "What's going on?"
"Boss, these camels refuse to move."
Fatty Wang pointed around:
"They seem to know the black storm is coming and are all prepared to wait here to die."
Lin Yang frowned and looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the sandstorm was getting stronger.
He looked at Anliman thoughtfully: "Anliman, at a time like this, you shouldn't pretend anymore."
Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, An Li's face was filled with confusion, and his deep-set eyes flickered with bewilderment:
"What...what do you mean by that? What did I pretend to be?"
Lin Yang did not answer immediately, but pointed to the camels around him:
"You dare say that the fact that these camels aren't moving has nothing to do with you?"
Anliman's face immediately turned bright red, and he hurriedly defended himself, saying, "You...you're wronging me!"
"These camels aren't moving because..."
"It's because they know they can't escape the black sandstorm, so they're just waiting to die here."
"Oh? Just waiting to die?" Lin Yang's lips curled into a cold smile.
"So, do you think these camels will leave if I kill you?"
Anliman's face turned deathly pale instantly.
He stared wide-eyed at Lin Yang, his voice trembling:
"What...what did you say? Say it again."
However, Lin Yang did not give him a chance to ask again.
He suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed Anliman's neck with lightning speed.
With a crisp "crack," Anliman's neck was snapped instantly.
His eyes were wide open, as if they were trying to tell a story.
It all happened so fast that no one had time to react.
When they came to their senses, Anliman was already lying on the ground, motionless.
"You...you're insane! Kobayashi, are you crazy?!"
Professor Chen was the first to react.
He pointed at Lin Yang and shouted, "This is a human life!"
Hao Aiguo followed suit: "Comrade Xiaolin, you...you are treating human life like dirt!"
Several students gathered around, their eyes filled with anger and confusion as they looked at Lin Yang.
They couldn't understand why Lin Yang, who was usually gentle and polite, would suddenly do such a thing.
However, Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang stood there quietly without saying a word.
Their eyes were filled with trust when they looked at Lin Yang.
Because they knew that Lin Yang had a reason for doing everything.
Lin Yang's gaze was as cold as ice, fixed on An Liman's corpse:
"As expected, it has no soul." As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Upon hearing this, Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang immediately stepped forward.
They looked down and saw that Anliman's eyes were empty and lifeless, as if the essence of life had been drained from them.
"Boss, if he has no soul, doesn't that mean he's just an empty shell?" Shirley Yang's voice carried a hint of surprise.
