Nian Gao's legs went weak and he kneeled down in fear.
From time to time, the Upper World's gods would use their own divine powers to stir up all kinds of natural disasters in the Lower World, causing the slaves to fall into pain, escape, panic and die.
Every time they experienced it, many slaves would die. The masters of the Lower World never stopped the Gods from killing their slaves, and instead followed the Gods to watch the slaves survive. They even made a life or death bet on the slaves.
The corner of Dong Lingce's mouth curved, and he asked Bao Ye and Jin Lingrui: "Aren't you two brothers kneeling?"
Jin Lingrui took out a cigarette from her pocket and asked: "Kneeling can stop the gods from playing games?"
Bao Ye curled his lips: "If you want to kneel, it's better to think of a way to respond."
When Jin Lingrui, who was about to light a cigarette, heard this, he put the cigarette back in her pocket, then walked over to call her subordinates who were kneeling on the ground to move the food onto the carriage.
Dong Lingce looked at Jin Lingrui who was helping with the food, "Why did you kill him that night?"
Bao Ye raised his eyelids: "I'm just too lost."
Dong Lingce did not believe what he said, but he did not plan to investigate further. He turned his head and asked, "Let's guess what the God game is about?"
Bao Ye scoffed, "Do you still need to guess?"
Dong Lingce raised the center of his brows: "What do you mean?"
"In my heart, you're in cahoots with them. They all like to tease people."
The only difference was that Dong Lingce had not made a joke about life so far.
Dong Lingce smirked: "That's right, we are in the same group. Use your butt to write down the Diamond Sutra for us later."
The corner of Bao Ye's mouth twitched. Damn it, who would use their butt to write?
He found an excuse and said, "I can't write."
Bao Ye smirked: "I can't even see the words, how do I copy it?"
"With your fart eyes."
A few black lines appeared on Bao Ye's forehead. "Bullshit! I have to take charge of writing with a pen, I have no time to look at it."
Dong Lingce laughed, this man was just too funny.
The people around them heard the laughter and looked at them.
Jin Lingrui stared at Bao Ye thoughtfully.
Bao Ye could not be bothered with this mental illness, and turned to go to Ministry of Health.
Not long after, Nian Gao and Ol 'Six supported themselves back to the Ministry of Health, their faces ashen.
Bao Ye raised his brows, "The God's game hasn't started, and you guys already have the face of the dead, isn't it a little too early?"
Nian Gao shouted in fear: "It's not like you don't know, as long as God's game starts, many people will die, even the high level slave will not be able to escape. We're dead for sure, we're dead for sure."
Bao Ye, "..."
At this time, Wang Qiao also returned, and weakly sat on the chair as she said, "I wonder what kind of disaster this will be."
The Ministry of Health was dead silent.
"It's a thunderstorm, a storm, a flood, and a plague." Bao Ye suddenly said.
They stared at him.
"Plague is the most terrifying. Without medicine to treat humans, the virus will still infect people. In the end, a large number of people will die." Bao Ye frowned: "All of you, get ready."
He was judging what kind of game the gods would play at this point in time based on what his foster father had told him.
Nian Gao scoffed, "It sounds like the truth."
Bao Ye looked at him without saying a word. After all, he wasn't very sure either.
On that day, the atmosphere at the construction site was very gloomy, even the Deacons who were usually superior to others were sullen. If the God game came, they would also suffer together with the slaves.
When they returned to the slave shelter in the afternoon, all the slaves lowered their heads without saying a word.
As usual, Bao Ye gave his food to Jiang Yu.
Bao Ye asked with concern: "No taste?"
Jiang Yu said in a low voice: "If I'm about to die, I won't even have a chance to eat."
Bao Ye laughed: "The God Game hasn't started, how are you so sure that you're going to die?"
"I'm already so old, how could I avoid the God's game?" Jiang Yu sighed: "I've lived enough in this life, and I'm tired of it."
Having lost his vigor, he instantly aged significantly.
Bao Ye shoved the bowl into his hands, "Isn't it easy to die if you want to? Smash your head on the wall and I'll make sure you die."
immediately glared at him. "Can't you say something nice to comfort me?"
Bao Ye laughed: "If you need consolation, it means you don't want to die. Hurry up and eat your meal, fill your stomach up so that you have the strength to resist the gods' game."
Jiang Yu looked at the bed frame and the pillar of the shed. He really couldn't muster up the courage to seek death, so he picked up the bowl of rice and started eating.
At night, after the lights were switched off, suddenly, countless silver lights flickered in the sky, illuminating the shed. Following that, heavenly thunder sounded, the thunder was even more terrifying than the morning thunder, causing the ground to shake.
Everyone woke up from their stupor and sat up.
The lightning outside was like an electric light that was about to break. It flashed non-stop and the thunder exploded like firecrackers. The slaves were so scared that they hid in their blankets and didn't dare to go out.
Bao Ye's bed was right beside the window. When he got up to look, he could see that in the distance, there were bolts of lightning that were as thick as tall buildings falling from the sky to the ground.
Because his line of sight was blocked, he could not see very far. However, with his divine force, he could clearly hear the sounds of lightning striking at certain places.
Bao Ye sat back on the bed.
Jiang Yu poked his head out and asked: "Ugly Slave, what did you see?"
Bao Ye replied truthfully, "The outside is filled with dense lightning."
Jiang Yu's face instantly paled, "It must be the start of the God's game."
When the Old Luo on the other side of the bed heard their conversation, he sighed, "Hopefully the lightning won't attack us here."
The slave beside his bed was trembling with fear.
When dawn approached, the thunder finally stopped.
Everyone did not sleep well the whole night. Just as they wanted to sleep, Deacons called them to work.
On his way to the construction site, Bao Ye saw a few pits that were blasted by lightning, inside of which a thick smell of burnt flesh permeated out.
When the slaves in the carriages saw the huge pit that was blasted open, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
If the lightning were to strike our slave shelter, we would be dead for sure. "
"I hope the gods do not thunder again."
"We should pray that there are no more games of God."
Bao Ye listened to the slaves's prayers along the way, and arrived at the construction site.
When Nian Gao, who usually disdained to speak with Bao Ye, saw him, he immediately said emotionally: "Ugly Slave, last night, someone from the Western District was killed by the lightning. Their bodies were either burnt to a crisp or split into two halves.
Before Bao Ye could even speak, the Sixth Brother and Wang Qiao ran in with a face full of shock.
Nian Gao asked: "What's wrong with you guys?"
Wang Qiao slumped onto the chair. "On the way here, I saw a lot of corpses."
"Me too." The sixth brother wiped away his sweat and said, "I didn't just see the corpse, I also saw something terrifying."
"When our caravan was on the way here, we saw a few people who were injured by lightning, but weren't killed. Someone got off the car to save them out of goodwill, but was instead electrocuted to death by the remnant electricity on their bodies."
Nian Gao said in fear, "Is this a warning from the gods? Don't allow us to save them? "
Ol 'Six thought about it and nodded. "That's very possible."
"Young Master Jin? Is Young Master Jin in? " Deacon Tao's voice sounded from the door.
Bao Ye looked towards the door: "I'm here, is there anything for Deacon Tao?"
Deacon Tao yawned as he walked in and said, "Master told me to come over to see if you died. As long as you didn't die, I can let him play around for a while longer."
Bao Ye rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Thank you, master, for your concern."
Deacon Tao yawned, "Master will not come to the construction site today. You can stay in Ministry of Health."
"Alright."
When the Deacon Tao left, Nian Gao said enviously, "Master really cares about you."
Bao Ye was speechless, how could he tell that Dong Lingce was concerned about him?
The sixth brother yawned, "Take advantage of the time when we don't have to work to catch up on our sleep. Maybe there will be more scary things waiting for us next."
Nian Gao and Wang Qiao nodded, they laid on the table and slept.
Bao Ye did not sleep at all. He took his car key and left the Ministry of Health, then drove the garbage truck to take a look around the construction site. He realized that the construction site had been set up with a barrier, preventing wind and lightning from entering.
"This barrier is amazing."
Bao Ye had seen the Upper God's barrier before and was sure that the barrier before him was not any weaker than the Upper God's barrier, and was even of a higher grade than the Upper God's barrier. This made him more and more curious as to who Dong Lingce was, and why he had never heard of this person's name even after staying in the upper realm for so many years.
