In this dim and narrow space, the two looked at each other in silence.
Suddenly, Shia Zhi pursed her lips, glanced at Mu Chen vigilantly, and quickly reached for the door handle.
"Don't!"
Mu Chen quickly reached out and grabbed Shia Zhi's arm, "It's not what you think!"
At this moment, a girl's voice came from outside. It sounded like she was at the door.
"Hey, where are they?"
Following that, the sound of footsteps could be heard, mixed with the indistinct sound of conversation.
At this time, Mu Chen had covered Shia Zhi's mouth and nose with one hand, and the other hand was still holding his arm tightly, and he blocked him with his body.
He also held his breath and listened carefully to the movement outside.
"Did they go upstairs? There is nothing here … "Ling Mo's voice also came in.
Soon, the footsteps went up the stairs.
Mu Chen's tense expression immediately relaxed a little. He was about to put down his hand, but the old door suddenly clanged.
This sudden movement made Mu Chen's heart beat faster, and he shrank back nervously.
The old-fashioned ball-shaped doorknob also began to twist slowly, and Mu Chen's eyes immediately focused on it.
Did he just … lock the door?!
However, sadly, he didn't remember!
But if he blocked the door now, he was afraid that it wouldn't work …
At this moment, a shout came from upstairs, "Sister Ye Lian, hurry up!"
"Oh …" There was a weak response outside the door.
The doorknob stopped turning, and the door stopped shaking.
But Mu Chen still stood in the same place until he couldn't hold it anymore, and finally let out a long sigh.
It would be fine if Ye Lian found out, but the problem was that Ling Mo was nearby …
"Woo woo!"
A muffled sound suddenly sounded, and it scared Mu Chen again.
But he soon discovered that this sound actually came from Shia Zhi's mouth.
Shia Zhi, who was unprepared, had been forcibly covered for so long that her face had turned livid.
"Ah … I'm sorry." Mu Chen quickly let go of Shia Zhi.
Shia Zhi covered her neck and breathed hard while leaning against the wall.
"That person just now was too elusive. I was nervous …" Mu Chen explained. After finding that Shia Zhi was not listening at all, he awkwardly led the topic to the main point. "In fact, I have been looking for the right opportunity along the way. I hope that the three of us can avoid Ling Mo and talk alone."
"But ever since he turned F Regiment around, he hasn't given us a chance. Fortunately, after a few days, we arrived at our destination, and he finally relaxed a little. "
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he found that Shia Zhi's expression looked very shocked, and she was staring at him with her eyes wide open.
"… Alright, discussing this matter in the bathroom doesn't count as him being lax. But I'm also looking for an opportunity! "Mu Chen said snappily." Are you relieved now? I said it's not like what you said. There should be a limit to how cool you can be! "
Shia Zhi shook her head with a noncommittal smile, which made Mu Chen suddenly angry.
However, he stared with his eyes wide open for a while, then suppressed his anger and said,
"I originally wanted to call Xu Shuhan in, but the three of us are too big of a target. Now we don't have much time left, so let's hurry up. "
"I've been trying to get in touch with 0 along the way, but I haven't been able to do it. This is all caused by that bastard Ling Mo. So until now, the division doesn't know our progress and situation here. That is to say, the agreement between us and Ling Mo is completely private. Whether it will be recognized by the division is completely uncertain. "
Mu Chen sighed and said, "It's impossible for Ling Mo not to think of this, but why didn't he mention it at all? Because he actually treats us as hostages. For him, we are the effective guarantee of the agreement. Everyone knows this, so I don't need to say anything more. But the problem is, can you be sure what the division will decide? I don't think any of us can … And, most importantly, we can't just be stuck in the middle and do nothing! So, here's my idea … "
"Two people will find an opportunity to distract Ling Mo and the others, while the other person will take the opportunity to escape. That way, we won't continue to be passive. What do you think?" Mu Chen asked.
Shia Zhi seemed to be a little stunned. He stared blankly at the corner of the wall, probably thinking hard.
Mu Chen didn't rush him, because although the plan sounded simple, there was a problem that was quite tricky.
Who would stay? Who would go?
Although the two who stayed might not be killed by Ling Mo after the matter was exposed, it was only because they had value.
But this didn't mean that they would always be safe. If the division said no to Ling Mo's proposal, then the life and death of these two people would be hard to say.
In general, once they decided to stay, it meant that their lives would continue to be in the hands of the division and Ling Mo. Their life and death were all in their hands.
This kind of feeling of "my life is in the hands of others" was quite bad for anyone.
And the person who escaped would also have to face the risk of going through a large number of zombies to return to the Nirvana division alone, and the division would inevitably carry out all kinds of interrogation.
The most important thing was that this person also shouldered the fate of the other two people. Whether they could persuade Nirvana or not, it depended on this person.
So another problem came. Among these three people, who could win the trust of the other two people at the same time?
Shia Zhi thought for a while, raised his hand and gestured.
Mu Chen blinked his eyes and said: "All three of them ran away? Don't be silly. "
Shia Zhi lowered his head dejectedly. Compared with his proposal, Mu Chen's plan was indeed more reliable.
Compared with Ling Mo's strength, the gap between the strength of the three of them and that of Ling Mo's team was too obvious.
The possibility of all three of them successfully escaping was too low.
And once they exposed this idea, the probability of Ling Mo's massacre would instantly skyrocket.
Through this period of getting along, they also had a basic understanding of Ling Mo's character.
Although this person always looked relaxed, and was basically very easy to deal with except for his obsession with materials, once he got angry, this person would never be soft-hearted.
Now was not the same as before. Most people were hardened and ruthless people.
Running first and then begging for mercy after being caught, even a toenail would know that it was simply courting death.
"I will stall them for a day, which is about …" Mu Chen glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "Counting from now, I have at most 27 hours. During this time, think about it. "
In the end, Mu Chen hesitantly added, "I trust both of you. Although you and Xu Shuhan haven't called me, but … I am the captain after all, I will respect your decision."
Before Shia Zhi could speak, Mu Chen scratched the back of his head and said, "This kind of serious tone is really shameful to me …"
After carefully opening the door, Mu Chen carefully poked his head out to take a look. After seeing that there was no one around, he quietly slipped out.
However, just as he walked near the stairs, a sudden shout almost scared him out of his wits, "Hey!"
Mu Chen stiffly stopped, then slowly twisted his neck, "What?"
Xia Na stood on the stairs with the distinctive sickle, looking down at him from above, "Where have you been? And what about that boring gourd? "
"I … We …" Mu Chen hesitated for a moment, then blurted out, "Shia Zhi said he wanted to go to the toilet!"
"Ha … So you went to watch him go to the toilet?" Xia Na nodded.
"No, no, no!" Looking at Xia Na's slightly contemptuous and scrutinizing eyes, Mu Chen suddenly went crazy, "No … I …"
"What's the point of saying this to me?" Xia Na snorted, turned around and walked upstairs.
"I … That …" Mu Chen grabbed his hair fiercely, "Yes! Why did I say this to her! "
"Hey, aren't you looking for water? We found it upstairs, hurry up and come up to move it. "Xia Na's voice came from afar.
Mu Chen suddenly burst into tears, "So you want me to be your coolie. I was wondering why you would take the initiative to talk to me …"
