245: Chapter 245 The Desert March

At the same time.

Lin Heng and the others were walking through the desert, surrounded by endless yellow sand.

This feeling was as if they had appeared in the middle of an ocean.

That sense of bewilderment made everyone feel a wave of confusion.

Many among them developed a physical sense of despair in their hearts.

In this yellow sand, who knew how much longer they would have to walk to leave this godforsaken place!

Even some of the female companions had already collapsed from exhaustion, needing others to support them just to keep walking.

If they weren't following Lin Heng, perhaps they wouldn't be able to move forward at all at this moment.

But even following behind Lin Heng, they didn't know when the end would be in sight.

Sigh...

The group sighed, all lamenting that they probably wouldn't be able to walk much further.

At this time, Su Xueer would always encourage those with wavering wills.

"Please, you must keep walking. Our ancestors once experienced similar hardships in their mountains and rivers. We cannot give up our perseverance just because of some physical difficulties..."

"Hold on a little longer, and we'll be out soon..."

However, even Su Xueer looked bewildered and spoke weakly at this moment.

She naturally didn't have much strength left either.

Seeing this, the others remained silent.

They didn't know how much longer they could hold on.

When those pioneers underwent the Long March, they certainly didn't face endless yellow sands like this...

The live broadcast had not stopped, and the Dragon Country audience could still see the scene unfolding.

By this point, they could no longer distinguish whether this was a live broadcast or something else entirely.

They were all praying for the Dragon Country citizens present at the scene.

"Alas... I thought things like this only happened in scripts and jokes. I never expected that one day our Dragon Country citizens would have to live through something like this again..."

"I thought our ancestors had already walked the most difficult path for us, but now I realize that our Dragon Country still has a long way to go."

"Thank you to these people who have expanded territory and even made huge sacrifices for our country!"

"If it weren't for people like them, we probably wouldn't have the kind of life we have now..."

"This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are still many people like this in reality... These are all our heroes!"

"..."

Discussions buzzed in the live broadcast room.

They sighed with genuine emotion.

But one by one, they prayed silently.

Please, do not let these people all die in the yellow sands of a foreign land.

Even if they die, their souls must return to their homeland.

And at the same time.

The audience in the live broadcast room very keenly noticed that someone seemed to be missing!

Who!?

Lin Heng!

"Wait... What is Lin Heng doing right now? Could he have secretly run off alone?"

"Exactly! Otherwise, why haven't we noticed him for quite some time now?"

"That shouldn't be right... Although I haven't noticed him for a long time either, I don't think Lin Heng is that kind of person..."

"..."

Discussions erupted in the live broadcast room.

The focus of the discussion shifted from the spirit of the Long March to Lin Heng.

Speculation ran rampant.

And then, they quickly discovered that Lin Heng was truly gone!

Thanks to the questions raised in the live broadcast room, the people on site quickly realized this problem too!

Oh no!

Lin Heng is gone!

A huge wave immediately surged in the hearts of many people.

And it's unknown who suddenly shouted out, making everyone else aware of the news!

What!?

Lin Heng is gone!?

The people who were initially exhausted instantly became spirited upon hearing this news.

Good heavens...

When the audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene, their expressions all became complicated.

Didn't they just say they had no strength left at all?

What is this now...?

Does this mean a final burst of energy before death??

However, if the audience in the live broadcast room were watching a skit, the people on site were looking in a mirror.

They were all deathly pale.

They had to remember that Lin Heng had been the one leading the way before!

Now that Lin Heng was gone, it was completely like being thrown onto a deserted island while Lin Heng sailed away alone.

He even sank all their small boats!

What kind of outcome this would lead to naturally played out in everyone's minds.

Oh no...

A wave of panic surfaced in everyone's hearts.

They regretted it immensely now.

How could they have trusted Lin Heng so easily?

Chen Sheng and the others licked their dry lips, their hearts sinking little by little.

One wrong step leads to eternal regret...

It is fate, it is destiny...

And many people present had complex expressions.

Especially Su Xueer and Xue Rou, who were more willing to believe in Lin Heng.

They absolutely refused to believe that Lin Heng would abandon all of them and leave!

"That guy... couldn't he have abandoned us and left by himself?"

Soon, this voice appeared among the crowd.

He wasn't doing it intentionally.

It was purely the fear arising from his heart.

At this moment, they naturally couldn't verify this fact.

But Su Xueer and the others disagreed.

Su Xueer immediately stepped forward and defended Lin Heng:

"You are wrong, Lin Heng is not that kind of person!"

"I believe he must have gone to bring us reinforcements! You can doubt anyone but Lin Heng!"

"If it weren't for him, you would have already died in the tunnels, let alone escaped..."

"If Lin Heng really wanted to harm you, why would he wait until now?"

"If we're going to talk about it, he has no reason to be involved with you, yet he runs from South Africa all the way to North Africa for a project proposal?"

"Any normal person wouldn't think that way, right!"

Although Su Xueer's voice wasn't loud, it was full of conviction.

After Su Xueer finished speaking, quite a few people quickly fell silent.

They licked their dry lips and said nothing more.

However, the fact that Lin Heng had disappeared was undeniable.

No matter how eloquently Su Xueer spoke, she couldn't resolve it!

Su Xueer naturally knew this, and she gradually began to feel powerless.

And at this moment...

Suddenly!

The sound of mechanical gears turning and bursts of steam whistles echoed from outside.

And this sound was like finding an oasis in the desert for everyone!

It was simply like Beethoven's symphony, automatically playing movingly in their hearts...

It was incredibly pleasant to the ear!

They looked ahead into the rolling desert where figures were emerging, and among them appeared quite a few vehicles.

The person leading the way was none other than Lin Heng!
