In this dimly lit space, the two looked at each other in silence.

Suddenly, Xia Zhi pursed his lips, glanced at Mu Chen vigilantly, and quickly reached for the doorknob.

"Don't!"

Mu Chen hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xia Zhi's arm: "Things are not what you think!" ”

At this moment, a girl's voice came in from outside, and the distance was about at the door.

"Hey, what about them?"

This was followed by the sound of footsteps, interspersed with muffled conversations.

At this time, Mu Chen had already covered Xia Zhi's mouth and nose with one hand, and with the other hand, he was still holding his arm and blocking him with his own body.

He himself held his breath and listened carefully to the movement outside.

"They're upstairs, aren't they? There's nothing ...... here," Ling Mo's voice also came in.

Soon, the footsteps went upstairs.

Mu Chen's tense expression immediately relaxed, and he was about to put down his hand, but the old door suddenly "clanged".

This sudden movement frightened Mu Chen's heart to beat faster, and he shrank back nervously.

The old-fashioned spherical doorknob also began to slowly twist, and Mu Chen's eyes immediately focused on it.

He just ...... Is there a counter-lock?!

Sadly, he didn't remember!

But if you block the door now, I'm afraid it won't work......

At this moment, a shout came from upstairs from afar: "Sister Ye Lian, hurry up!" ”

"Oh......" A weak answer sounded outside the door.

The doorknob stopped turning, and the door stopped shaking.

But Mu Chen still stood still. until I can't hold it anymore. I finally let out a long breath.

It's just that if Ye Lian found out, it's actually nothing. But the problem is that Ling Mo is nearby......

"Woo!"

A muffled snort suddenly sounded, startling Mu Chen again.

However, he soon discovered that the sound was actually coming from Xia Zhi's mouth.

The unprepared Xia Solstice was forcibly covered for so long, and his face had already turned pale.

"Ahhh......h Excuse me. Mu Chen hurriedly let go of the summer solstice.

And Xia Solstice was holding his neck and breathing uncomfortably as he leaned against the wall.

"That one was too elusive just now, I was nervous and ......" Mu Chen explained two sentences, and after finding that Xia Zhi was not listening at all, he awkwardly led the topic to the point. In fact, I was looking for suitable opportunities along the way, hoping that the three of us could avoid Ling Mo and them and talk alone. ”

"But since he was defeated by him in the F Regiment, he hasn't given us a chance. But fortunately, after a few days, he had reached his destination again, and he finally relaxed a little. ”

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 it in the bathroom. It really can't be regarded as his laxity. But I'm also looking for a chance! Mu Chen said angrily, "Now you are relieved, right?" I said it wasn't like yours. There should be a limit to sullenness! ”

Xia Zhi smiled noncommittally and shook his head, which made Mu Chen suddenly burst into flames.

However, he stared wide-eyed and struggled for a while, but he still held back this anger and said:

"Originally, I wanted to call Xu Shuhan in, but the goal of the three of them was too big. We don't have much time left right now, so let's go a little faster. ”

"I've been trying to get in touch with Number 0 all the way, but I haven't been able to do it, it's all done by that bastard Ling Mo. So until now, the branch has not understood the progress and situation on our side, that is to say, the agreement between us and Ling Mo is completely private, and it is completely uncertain whether it will be recognized by the branch. ”

Mu Chen sighed and said, "It's impossible for Ling Mo not to think of this, but he didn't mention it at all?" Because he is actually holding us hostage, and to him we are the guarantee of the validity of the agreement. Everyone knows this, and I don't need to say anything more. But the question is, can you be sure what the branch will decide? I don't think any of us can ...... And, most importantly, we can't just be caught in the middle and do nothing! So here comes my thoughts......"

"What do you think of the fact that two people will find an opportunity to distract Ling Mo and them, and the other person will take the opportunity to flee back, so that we will not continue to be passive?" Mu Chen asked.

Xia Zhi seemed to be a little stunned when he heard this, his eyes staring blankly at the corner of the wall, probably trying to think.

Mu Chen didn't rush him, because although this jihua sounded simple, there was a problem, which was quite tricky.

Who stays? Who goes?

Although the two who stayed behind might not be killed by Ling Mo after the matter was exposed, it was only because they had value to use.

However, this does not mean that they will always be safe, if the branch says no to Ling Mo's proposal, then it is difficult to say whether these two people will live or die.

In general, once they decided to stay, it meant that their lives would continue to be pinched in the hands of the branch and Ling Mo, and life and death were all in their thoughts.

This feeling of "my life is up to me" is pretty bad for anyone.

And the person who escaped also had to face the risk of returning to the Nirvana branch alone through the many zombie groups, as well as the various interrogations that the branch would inevitably conduct.

The most important thing is that this person also bears the fate of the other two people, and whether or not he can convince Nirvana depends on this person.

So another question arises, who of the three people 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 his eyes and said, "Are all three of them running?" …… Don't be silly. ”

Xia Zhi lowered his head gloomily, compared to his proposal, it was indeed Mu Chen's Jihua who was more reliable.

Compared to the strength of the three of them and Ling Mo and his party, the gap was too obvious.

For all three to succeed in escaping, the chances are too low.

And once they exposed this thought, the odds of Ling Mo going on a killing spree skyrocketed 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 has a relaxed smile, except for being extremely persistent in materials, he is basically very easy to deal with, but once he gets angry, this person is never soft.

Now it's not the same as before, most people are hard-hearted and ruthless people.

Running and seeing first, being caught and begging for mercy is such a thing, you know with your toes that it's just death.

"I'll hold them for a day, which is probably ......," Mu Chen glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "From now on, it will be a maximum of 27 hours." In the meantime, think about it. ”

At the end, Mu Chen added with some hesitation: "I trust both of you very much, although you and Xu Shuhan have never called each other, but ...... I'm the captain after all, and I'll respect your decision. ”

Without waiting for Xia Zhi to speak, Mu Chen scratched the back of his head and said, "This kind of serious tone is really shameful for me......"

After carefully pushing open the door, Mu Chen first carefully stretched out 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 stairs, a sudden shout almost made him fly out of the sky: "Hey! ”

Mu Chen stiffly stopped his steps, and then slowly twisted his neck: "What are you doing?" ”

Xana stood on the stairs with the distinctive scythe, looking at him from above: "Where did you go?" And what about that stuffy gourd? ”

"I ...... Let's ......" Mu Chen tangled for a moment and blurted out, "Xia Zhi said he was going to the toilet!" ”

"Hah...... So you go to see him go to the toilet? Xana nodded.

"No, no, no!" Looking at Xia Na's slightly disdainful and scrutinizing gaze, Mu Chen suddenly went crazy, "No...... I ......"

"Does it make sense for you to tell me this?" Shana snorted and turned to walk upstairs.

"I ...... That ......" Mu Chen grabbed a handful of hair fiercely, "That's right! Why did I tell her this! ”

"Hey, aren't you looking for water? We found it upstairs, so we came up and moved it. Xana's voice came from afar.

Mu Chen burst into tears: "It turned out that he was looking for me to be a coolie, so I said how could he take the initiative to talk to me......" (To be continued......)
