I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 740: Chapter 748 Playing House Like Little Kids

It meant that Xu Yan was in this place, at least in this direction.

Bai Zhi looked at the endless yellow sands, feeling quite distressed.

“From here on we can’t use the vehicles anymore, because we can’t find the direction.”

Captain Hann and his team were forced to stop and prepare to start walking, not because there wasn’t a path but because if they pushed on they might lose their way.

“I don’t know why our navigation systems have all failed, the address given to us by the doctor is the Death Desert. Now that we’re here, we can only rely on…”

Their gazes all turned to Bai Zhi, as this place depended on her.

“Just a bit further ahead, there are camels that I had someone prepare for us.”

At this moment, Moh Li spoke up.

Captain Hann looked at Moh Li with surprise, and then, sure enough, not long after, they saw a guide along with some camels.

Two people shared one camel. Even by that point, Bai Zhi couldn’t bear to leave her suitcase behind and insisted on bringing everything.

This added to everyone’s resentment, but they dared not speak out because of Captain Hann.

Moh Li wanted to find them, but Bai Zhi directly blocked him.

“It’s fine, let’s go in this direction.”

Bai Zhi showed him the pocket watch in her hand. Moh Li stood behind Bai Zhi, allowing her to rest properly.

Leaning on Moh Li, Bai Zhi began to drift into a haze and started dreaming.

The dream was a different world.

To everyone else, it appeared as if Bai Zhi was sleeping through all this, sleeping when it was such a critical time.

When Bai Zhi dreamed, she felt extremely tired, as if she were having a long dream about the start of the Underground Kingdom…

There was a queen who discovered this blessed land and also found an important node of the dragon veins. Then she understood a lot and established her own kingdom.

She began to abuse that power, ultimately facing the consequences… A sandstorm buried everything…

The dream was only half-complete when Bai Zhi was jolted awake by fear, for the queen was too tyrannical, demanding everyone listen to her, refusing to hear any other language or consider anyone’s opinion…

Bai Zhi was suddenly awoken by the horrifying images of those tortures. She had always thought King Zhou’s tortures were cruel enough, but compared to that queen, they paled in significance.

Bai Zhi suddenly opened her eyes; it was already dark. They had found a place to stop and were preparing to set up tents, but Bai Zhi frowned upon inspecting the area.

“We can’t stay here, we must go…”

As soon as Bai Zhi spoke out, the guide disagreed, being a local team member and having been in the area for decades. Although he hadn’t been to this desert before, he knew what to do in the desert better than anyone.

“What do you know, you’re just a kid, and enough with the talk already. Do you know what the desert is, or what kind of place is fit for setting up tents? You’re questioning my abilities.”

Watching the guide bristle with indignation, Bai Zhi spoke slowly and deliberately.

“I recall that I’m the commanding officer, aren’t I? Captain Hann, didn’t you say that everyone should follow my orders?”

Captain Hann’s expression grew solemn, even as he contained himself.

“Yes, but, Bai Zhi, you need to tell us why. Our knowledge and our feelings tell us that this place is the most suitable for a camp.”

Captain Hann was of course aware of the orders, but their training told them this was the ideal location.

“Then there’s no need to say anything else. Because I can’t tell you anything. Oh, right, where are the people from the Special Operations Group? Why aren’t they following me?”

Bai Zhi found it strange, shouldn’t the Special Operations Group members be accompanying her?

“They have other missions. We don’t know what, but they indeed have assignments.”

Captain Hann was surprised by this response; he didn’t expect Bai Zhi to be aware of this and thought she was just an ordinary kid.

“Oh. So, are you going to listen or not?”

Bai Zhi felt somewhat helpless; she really couldn’t explain because it wouldn’t be clear enough. She couldn’t just say it was her intuition, could she? If push came to shove, then they would have to resort to action.

“If you won’t listen, then there’s only one thing I can do…”

Bai Zhi had just spoken her piece, and they couldn’t take it anymore, their anger flaring up instantly.

“You only have what, what do you think you’re doing…”

Each of them wanted to start an argument with her, but Bai Zhi glanced at the sky and immediately took action.

Minutes later, the ground was littered with bodies. “No choice but to get physical. Hurry and get up, then follow me.”

Bai Zhi felt that sometimes you really couldn’t reason with people because she wasn’t good at it. Action was better, because it was quick, accurate, and ruthless…

Those lying on the ground were questioning their existence, once called the best weapon of Nan Country, but now…

Captain Hann clenched his teeth as he stood, “Following Bai Zhi…” It was so humiliating.

It was truly humiliating. They couldn’t even beat a child.

“It’s normal that you can’t beat Bai Zhi. She was born incredibly strong, and she was trained with me…”

Just that one sentence stunned them all.

Moh Li had once fiercely slapped their faces, and now Bai Zhi had done it again.

“So it turns out.” Later, when they worked together, they also experienced Moh Li’s intense training, but…

They couldn’t do it.

“So, even I can’t beat her. It’s… normal for you guys too.”

Captain Hann: “…”

Others: “…”

They all had one thought in their minds: why didn’t you say so earlier?

The place Bai Zhi chose made the guide shake his head constantly, believing this place to be absolutely not okay. None of the criteria were met. Continuing like this was sure to lead to disaster,

but Bai Zhi was adamant about it.

“This is it, I’m completely sure, it definitely has to be here.

You all say this is the Death Desert, meaning you’ve never been here either. How can you trust your memory in a place where navigational tools fail, not to mention you’ve never been here?”

Bai Zhi outright gave the order, and this time, they could only set up tents in this spot, where it seemed impossible to do so.

Bai Zhi took out her pots and pans, then began cooking with steel carbon, using water that was especially scarce, finally tossing in a few pears.

This left them daring not to speak their anger aloud.

“Moh Li, keep an eye out for me. I’m going to check the surroundings.”

Captain Hann felt somewhat uneasy, but then he saw Bai Zhi picking up stones and tossing them around playfully.

Captain Hann sighed and wanted to help pick them up.

“Don’t move!”

Bai Zhi spoke fiercely, startling Captain Hann.

“Why…” He was a bit puzzled, “I just wanted to help you pick them up.”

Bai Zhi kept throwing. “Don’t touch them. I’ve set up a little formation. You’ll know what it’s for when you get up tomorrow morning.”

Bai Zhi kept playing with the sand, eventually placing a basin, which looked like nothing but play.

In the end, she tossed some unknown things onto the stones.

Once everything was set up, Bai Zhi finally returned.

Everyone was eating—chocolate and some cookies.

Bai Zhi threw the military biscuit out.

“I said not to bring this. We’re leaving as soon as it gets light tomorrow.”
