In this dimly lit space, the two of them looked at each other in silence
Suddenly, Xia Zhi pursed her lips, gave Mu Chen a wary glance, and quickly reached for the door handle
"No
" Mu Chen quickly reached out and grabbed Xia Zhi's arm
" It's not what you think
" Just then, a girl's voice came in from outside, and it was probably at the door
" Hey, where are they
" Then came another sound of footsteps, mixed with a vague conversation
Mu Chen had already covered Xia Zhi's nose and mouth with one hand, and he was still holding his arm with the other, blocking him with his own body
He held his breath and listened carefully
" Did they go upstairs
There's nothing on this side
" Ling Mo's voice came in as well
Soon, the footsteps went upstairs
Mu Chen's tense expression immediately relaxed a little
Just as he was about to put down his hand, the old door suddenly clanked
The sudden movement made Mu Chen's heart beat faster and he shrank back nervously
The old ball-shaped doorknob began to twist slowly, and Mu Chen's eyes immediately focused on it
Did he just
Lock it
Sadly, he didn't remember
But if we block the door now, I'm afraid it won't work
Just then, a shout came from far upstairs:" Sister ye lian, hurry up
"" Oh
" A weak reply rang out from outside the door
The doorknob stopped moving and the door stopped shaking
However, mu chen stayed where he was until he could hardly hold it back and finally let out a long breath
It was nothing if Ye Lian found out about it
But the problem was that Ling Mo was nearby
" Woo woo
" A muffled groan suddenly sounded, and Mu Chen jumped again
But he soon realized that the sound was actually coming from Xia Zhi's mouth
Xia Zhi, who was unprepared, had been covered for so long and his face had turned livid
" Ah, ah,
Sorry
" Mu Chen quickly let go of Xia Zhi
Xia Zhi leaned against the wall as he held his neck and breathed in agony
" That one was too sneaky
I was nervous and
" Mu Chen explained a few sentences and found that Xia Zhi was not listening at all, so he awkwardly brought the topic to the point
" Actually, I've been looking for the right opportunity along the way
I hope the three of us can avoid Ling Mo and talk to them alone
"" But he hasn't given us a chance since he fought back at the F regiment
Fortunately, after a few days, he has reached his destination, and he has finally relaxed a little
" After Mu Chen finished speaking, she found that Xia Zhi's expression was shocked and he was staring at him with wide eyes
" Okay
It's not like he's relaxed discussing this in the bathroom
But I'm looking for an opportunity, too
" Mu Chen said unhappily," are you at ease now
I said it's not like you
There must be a limit to sulking
" Xia Zhi smiled and shook his head noncommittally, which made Mu Chen burst into flames
However, after a while of staring and struggling, he held back his anger and said," I wanted to call Xu Shuhan in, but the three of them are too ambitious
We don't have much time now, so let's hurry up
"" I tried my best to get in touch with zero all the way, but I couldn't
It was all the work of that bastard Ling Mo
So until now, the branch doesn't know what's going on and what's going on here
That is to say, the agreement we made with Ling Mo is completely private and there's no way we can be sure that the branch will approve of it
" Mu Chen sighed
Ling Mo couldn't have thought of that, but why didn't he mention it at all
Because he actually held us hostage, and to him, we are the guarantee of the agreement
Everyone knows that, and I don't have to say anything more
But the question is, what will the branch decide
Can you be sure
I don't think either of us can
And most importantly, we can't just sit in the middle and do nothing
So here's what I think
"" What do you think of two people finding a chance to distract Ling Mo and the others running back so that we can stop being passive
" Mu Chen asked
Xia Zhi seemed to be a little stunned
He stared blankly at the corner and was probably trying to think
Mu Chen didn't rush him either, because although the plan sounded simple, there was a problem that was rather tricky
Who would stay
Who would go
The remaining two may not have been killed by Ling Mo after the incident was exposed, but it was only because they were useful
But that doesn't mean they'll be safe forever
If the branch says no to ling mo's proposal, then it's hard to say whether these two people will live or die
In general, once they decide to stay, it means that their lives will continue to be held in the hands of the branch and Ling Mo
This feeling of" my life is involuntary" is pretty bad for anyone
The person who escaped also had to face the risk of going back to the Nirvana branch alone through a large group of zombies, as well as the various interrogations that the branch would inevitably carry out
Most importantly, this person has the fate of two other people on his shoulders
Whether he can convince the Nirvana depends on this person
So another question came up again
Who among these three would be able to gain the trust of the other two at the same time
Xia Zhi thought about it for a while, then raised his hand and gestured
Mu Chen blinked and said," are all three of you running
Don't be silly
" Xia Zhi lowered his head dejectedly
Compared to his proposal, Mu Chen's plan was indeed more reliable
The difference between the strength of the three of them and that of Ling Mo and the others was too obvious
If all three of them managed to escape, the chances were too low
And once they exposed this idea, Ling Mo's chances of killing rose in an instant
Through this period of time together, they also have a basic understanding of ling mo's character
Although he usually seemed to have a relaxed smile and was basically easy to deal with besides being exceptionally persistent about supplies, once he got angry, he was never soft
Now, it's not like before
Most people are tough and ruthless
Running around to see if he was caught and begging for mercy, he knew with his toes that he was going to die
" I'll hold them back for a day, which means
" Mu Chen glanced at the watch on his wrist and said," from now on, it's 27 hours at most
During this time, think about it
" In the end, Mu Chen added hesitantly," I trust both of you very much
Although you and Xu Shuhan have never called, but
I am the captain after all, and I will respect your decision
" Without waiting for Xia Zhi to speak, Mu Chen scratched the back of his head and said," this serious tone is really shameful to me
" After carefully pushing the door open, Mu Chen carefully extended his head to take a look, and after seeing that there was no one around, he slipped out lightly
However, as soon as he reached the staircase, a sudden shout almost took his soul away
" Hey
" Mu Chen stopped stiffly, then slowly twisted his neck
" What
" Xia Na stood on the stairs with the distinctive scythe and was looking down at him
" Where have you been
Where's that stuffy gourd
"" I
We
" Mu Chen struggled for a moment and blurted out," Xia Zhi said he's going to the bathroom
"" Ha
So you went to see him go to the bathroom
" Xia Na nodded
" No, no, no
" Looking at Xia Na's slightly disdainful and scrutinizing eyes, Mu Chen immediately went crazy
" No
I
"" Does it make sense for you to tell me this
" Xia Na snorted and turned to walk upstairs
" I
That
" Mu Chen scratched her hair fiercely
" Yeah
Why did I tell her that
"" Hey, aren't you looking for water
We found it upstairs
Hurry up and move it
" Xia Na's voice came from afar
Mu Chen immediately burst into tears
" It turns out that I was the one who worked hard, so I told you why I took the initiative to talk to me
