In this dimly lit small space, the two looked at each other silently.
Suddenly, Xia Zhi pursed his lips, glanced at Mu Chen vigilantly, and quickly reached out to the door handle.
"do not!"
Mu Chen quickly reached out and grabbed Xiazhi's arm: "It's not what you think!"
At this moment, a girl's voice came in from outside, and the listening distance was about the door.
"Hey, what about them?"
Immediately after, another footstep came in, mixed with indistinct conversations.
At this time, Mu Chen had already covered Xia Zhi's mouth and nose with one hand, while the other hand was still holding onto his arm tightly, and he used his own body to block him inside.
He also held his breath and listened carefully to the movement outside.
"Did they go upstairs? There's nothing here..." Ling Mo's voice also came in.
Soon, footsteps went upstairs.
Mu Chen's tense expression immediately relaxed a little, and he was about to put down his hand when the old door suddenly banged.
This sudden movement made Mu Chen's heart beat faster, and he shrank back nervously.
The old-fashioned spherical door handle also began to twist slowly, and Mu Chen's eyes immediately focused on it.
He just... did he lock it? !
Sadly, he didn't even remember it!
But if you block the door now, I'm afraid it won't work...
At this moment, a shout came from a distance upstairs: "Sister Ye Lian, hurry up!"
"Oh..." A weak answer sounded from the door.
The door handle stopped turning, and the door stopped shaking.
But Mu Chen still stood there. Until I can't hold it anymore. He finally let out a long breath.
It was nothing if Ye Lian found out. But the problem is that Ling Mo is nearby...
"Woooo!"
A muffled sound suddenly sounded, and Mu Chen was startled again.
However, he soon discovered that the voice actually came from Xiazhi's mouth.
The unprepared Xia Zhi was forcibly covered for so long, and his face had already turned ashen.
"Ah... I'm sorry." Mu Chen quickly let go of Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi was holding his neck and breathing uncomfortably, while leaning against the wall.
"That person was so elusive just now, I was nervous for a while..." Mu Chen explained a few words, and after realizing that Xia Zhi was not listening at all, he embarrassedly brought the topic to the point. "Actually, I was looking for the right opportunity along the way. I hope the three of us can avoid Ling Mo and the others and have a chat alone."
"But he hasn't given us a chance since he was defeated by him in the F regiment. Fortunately, after a few days, he has reached the destination again, and he finally relaxes a bit."
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he found that Xia Zhi's expression was shocked, and he was staring at him with wide eyes.
"... Well, discuss this matter in the bathroom. It's true that he can't be considered slack. But I'm also looking for opportunities!" Mu Chen said angrily, "You can rest assured now? I said it's not like you. Bored. Sao also has a limit!"
Xia Zhi smiled noncommittally and shook his head, which made Mu Chen burst into flames.
However, he stared at him and struggled for a while, but he still held back the anger and said, "I originally wanted to call Xu Shuhan in, but the three of them have too big goals. We don't have much time now, so let Let's hurry up."
"I've been trying my best to get in touch with No. 0 all the way, but I haven't been able to do it. This is all done by that bastard Ling Mo. So until now, the branch does not understand the progress and situation on our side. That is to say, the agreement between us and Ling Mo is private at all, and whether it will be approved by the branch is completely uncertain."
Mu Chen sighed and said, "Ling Mo couldn't have imagined this, but why didn't he mention it at all? Because he actually took us as hostages, and to him we were the guarantee of the validity of the agreement. You know, I don't need to say more. But the question is, how the branch will decide, can you be sure? I don't think any of us can... And, most importantly, we can't just be in the middle of nothing. Do! So here are my thoughts…”
"Two people take the opportunity to distract Ling Mo and the others, and the other person takes the opportunity to escape, so that we can no longer be passive, what do you think?" Mu Chen asked.
Xia Zhi seemed to be a little dazed when he heard it. He stared blankly at the corner of the wall, probably thinking hard.
Mu Chen didn't rush him, because although this plan sounded simple, there was one problem that was quite tricky.
who stay? Who is going
Although the two left behind may not be killed by Ling Mo after the matter is exposed, it is only because they are useful.
However, this does not mean that they will stay safe forever. If the branch office says no to Ling Mo's proposal, then the life and death of these two people will be difficult to say.
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, and life and death are all at their fingertips.
This feeling of "I'm in the hands of others" is pretty bad for anyone.
And the person who escaped had to face the risk of going through numerous zombie groups and returning to the Nirvana branch alone, as well as the various interrogations that the branch would inevitably carry out.
The most important thing is that this person also bears the fate of the other two people. Whether he can convince Nirvana or not depends on this person.
So another question arises. Of these three people, who can gain the trust of the other two at the same time
Xia Zhi thought for a while, then raised his hand and gestured.
Mu Chen blinked and said, "Are all three of them running away?... Don't be stupid."
Xia Zhi lowered his head dejectedly. Compared with his proposal, Mu Chen's plan was indeed more reliable.
Comparing the strength of the three of them with Ling Mo's group, the gap is too obvious.
The possibility of all three of them escaping successfully is too low.
And once they exposed this kind of thinking, the chances of Ling Mo's killing will skyrocket instantly.
Through this period of time together, they also have a basic understanding of Ling Mo's character.
Although it usually seems that this person always smiles easily, and is basically a good deal except for being extremely obsessed with materials, once he gets angry, this person is never soft-hearted.
Now it's not as good as before, most people are hard-hearted and ruthless.
Run and look first, beg for mercy after being caught, and you can think with your toes that it's almost death.
"I will hold them back for a day, which is probably..." Mu Chen glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "From now on, it will be up to 27 hours. During this time, think about it."
At 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."
Before Xia Zhi could speak, Mu Chen scratched the back of his head and said, "Such a serious tone is really ashamed to me..."
After carefully pushing open the door, Mu Chen carefully stretched out his head to take a look, and after seeing no one around, he slipped out lightly.
However, as soon as he walked near the stairs, a sudden shout almost drove him to the sky: "Hey!"
Mu Chen stiffly stopped, then slowly twisted his neck: "Why?"
Shana was standing on the stairs with the distinctive sickle, looking down at him: "Where did you go? And what about that stuffy gourd?"
"I... we..." Mu Chen struggled for a moment, then blurted out, "Xiazhi said he was going to the toilet!"
"Ha... So you went to see him go to the toilet?" Shana nodded.
"No no no!" Looking at Shana's slightly contemptuous and scrutinizing eyes, Mu Chen suddenly went crazy, "No... I..."
"Does it make sense for you to tell me this?" Shana snorted, turned and walked upstairs.
"I... that..." Mu Chen scratched his hair fiercely, "Yeah! Why did I tell her this!"
"Hey, aren't you looking for water? We found it upstairs, hurry up and move it." Shana's voice came from a distance.
Mu Chen burst into tears: "It turned out to be looking for me to be a coolie, so I said how could I take the initiative to talk to me..."
