Chapter 163: Yu Yuan

Chapter 163: Yu Yuan

Clearly, the owner of this office doesn't have any specific requirements for the environment. In the past, there probably wasn't even a place to stand, and it's hard to imagine why so many students liked to come and discuss things with him, not knowing where they would have stood.

The two of them searched for a long time but still couldn't find the lubricating oil they were looking for.

Because everything was so messy, even before the shrinking, it would have been difficult to find anything.

They spent about an hour and only explored a third of the place.

If they didn't have to worry about food and drink, playing a game of exploration and search here would have been a good choice. However, the rations they brought wouldn't last long, and they didn't have much time to spare for searching.

Moreover, until now, they hadn't seen a single person.

Chen Mu took out potatoes and tomatoes, giving each person one, as their brunch.

After finishing their meal, they continued their search.

Sometimes, to avoid missing their target, they would move some things around, and once, this even led to a small landslide.

Two hours passed, but they still had nothing to show for it.

It was already noon.

Chen Mu was feeling a bit disheartened and vented his frustration by pulling at the corner of something nearby, not knowing what it was.

Unfortunately, his luck was bad, and a pile of cardboard boxes nearby got pulled along, causing a chain reaction that sent a bunch of stuff rolling down.

At that moment, Chen Mu heard a voice.

"Ouch!"

"What the heck."

"......"

It sounded like three people's voices, but it was hard to determine the source for a moment.

However, soon he understood.

Chen Mu hadn't paid much attention to those cardboard boxes before, but now he realized they were actually a stack of cigarette boxes.

Smoking was strictly prohibited in the school, but it seemed that Teacher Wan still secretly smoked inside someone's office.

The voice came from inside one of the cigarette boxes.

Before long, Chen Mu and He Ying saw, with cautious expressions, a person climbing out from the opened cigarette box.

This person was wearing the uniform of Zhiwei High School. It seemed like he had been sleeping inside the box, rubbing his eyes as he stood up, first looking around as if confirming his location.

He looked confused.

After slowly waking up, he finally raised his head and saw Chen Mu and He Ying.

Chen Mu asked again, "What are your names?"

"I'm Yu Yuan," the chubby boy replied, introducing the other two, "Li Bo and Zhou Xuliang."

Seeing their unguarded demeanor, Chen Mu didn't want to be impolite and introduced themselves, "I'm Chen Mu, and this is He Ying."

"Senior, are you here to rescue us?" Yu Yuan asked with a hopeful expression.

"Um... sort of. We have a camp, and if you have nowhere else to go..."

"We have nowhere to go, please, I beg you to take us in."

Although Qiming's principle was to recruit as many members as possible, Chen Mu still felt a bit uncomfortable with such a direct request, especially since he knew nothing about these three.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Did you block the door crack with things and glue?"

After entering, Chen Mu noticed that the materials under the door crack, like wood, various pieces of paper, and plastic, were rarely in whole pieces. They were mostly pieced together with various small items, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem like glue was used.

There were no traces of glue on the top, and it looked as if the items were just tightly wedged together, not easy to fall off. However, with human strength, it was clearly impossible to achieve this. Even Wei Dalei probably couldn't do it.

When Chen Mu was at the door, he didn't waste time studying those things. Now that he saw the main characters, he casually asked.

"Well..."

In response to this question, the three exchanged glances, seeming a bit hesitant to answer.

"What's difficult to answer about this?" Chen Mu was puzzled.

"It's not, it's not."

Afraid of offending Chen Mu and losing their help, Yu Yuan, as the leader of the three, quickly denied it.

But when it came to explaining the reason, they seemed hesitant.

Finally, after getting consent through eye signals from the other two, Yu Yuan seemed to have made up his mind.

Taking a deep breath, he took two steps forward, getting closer to Chen Mu.

Then, with a mysterious expression and tone, he said:

"Senior, I'll tell you a secret. All three of us have superpowers!"
