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
