"I don't agree!"
"I disagree."
Chen Mu and Kong Wenhan spoke almost at the same time, looked at each other, and then looked at Zhu Yuanqing together.
"There are more and more zombies. If we don't leave now, no one will be able to leave." Zhu Yuanqing said in a deep voice.
"That doesn't mean you have to stay. I'm the captain and the person in charge of this mission. I should be the one to stay!" Kong Wenhan frowned and refused to give in.
He had already lost many teammates, so how could he bear to push Zhu Yuanqing into danger? What would happen to Zhu Yuanqing if they left?
If it weren't for his suggestion, Zhu Yuanqing should be living comfortably in the coastal base now, instead of coming here and experiencing crisis with them again and again!
"Kong Wenhan." Zhu Yuanqing looked at him. The scars between the man's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, making him look particularly fierce.
"There are three psychic zombies here."
"Who of you can stop them except me?"
Zhu Yuanqing looked around, his gaze lingering on Shen Mu for a very brief moment, then stopped at Hang Zixuan: "You go ahead and speak."
Hang Zixuan moved the computer screen over to face everyone. On it was a series of fluctuating values and broken lines. "Sorry, I collected Feibai's mental power values without permission before."
"Just like what the teacher said, his mental power is very high and very receptive. With the cooperation of the equipment, those mental zombies can't search for people within the range of the equipment."
"So those who stay here are safe." Hang Zixuan said, "At least until Feibai's mental strength is exhausted."
"You TM..." Kong Wenhan got angry for the first time in a long time.
"As expected of Researcher Hang." Kong Wenhan laughed in anger. "Spiritual energy exhausted? Don't you feel guilty about saying that? Who helped you rescue Elder Zhao? Who helped us when the zombie horde surrounded us?"
"You wanted to save his life with just one simple sentence. Does Jiang Feibai owe you that?"
"So I stayed with him!" Hang Zixuan lost his composure for the first time and roared, "Do you think I want this? Is there any other way now?"
Zombies are right in front of us, and we don’t know when the rescue from the base will arrive. Under the deliberate search of the mental zombies, the villa will be destroyed one day. So many people staying here are just waiting to die!
Their target is the crystal core. The crystal core is of great significance and must not be lost. Now is the best time to take the opportunity to go out and look for rescue.
The others remained silent, even Han Liang, who had always looked down on Zhu Yuanqing, remained silent for a rare moment.
"What are you arguing about?" Chen Mu was unusually quiet for a long time, interrupting their meaningless quarrel. His eyes swept across the faces with different expressions, and he seemed to gently hold Zhu Yuanqing's arm.
"I'll take you out. They can't stop me."
It doesn't matter if the people here die or the crystal core is lost. As long as Zhu Yuanqing agrees, Chen Mu can take him away now.
As long as he agrees...
Zhu Yuanqing looked into Chen Mu's eyes, which contained cautious pleading and a faint hope. He held his arm very tightly, fearing that he would say no.
"Chen Mu." Zhu Yuanqing shook his head, his voice gentle but unquestionable. "Once they leave, the zombies will definitely chase them. I'll help you hold back those psychic zombies, and you protect their retreat."
"Captain Kong and Han Liang have exhausted their special powers." Zhu Yuanqing looked down at the pile of crystal cores, which had been mostly used. "I'll keep the crystal cores. They can still hold out for a while. Now you're the only one capable of protecting them from the villa area."
"Once you get out, you're going to look for help, okay?"
The hope that had risen in Chen Mu's eyes suddenly fell and shattered into tiny pieces.
"Do you have to stay?" Chen Mu's voice was dry, his eyelashes drooped, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"Sure." Zhu Yuanqing raised his hand, anticipating the attack from the back of his neck to block the knife.
Holding Chen Mu's wrist, Zhu Yuanqing cast his gaze at Kong Wenhan, whose expression kept changing. "Then let's arrange it this way. Chen Mu and Captain Kong will protect the remaining people and evacuate."
"I'll stay." Before Zhu Yuanqing turned his gaze, Hang Zixuan said firmly, "Feibai, Master Zhao is my teacher. The problem with the crystal core came from me, so I should be responsible. Besides, if there is any problem with the instrument, I can still solve it."
"If you don't agree, I will jump out even if I get on the car." Hang Zixuan smiled, "You know I don't joke."
Zhu Yuanqing looked at him twice and compromised: "Hang Zixuan and I will stay."
"Others prepare to evacuate."
The others had been waiting for him to make a decision. When they heard this, they all stood up from the ground, staring at them with eager eyes.
Chen Mu's face looked extremely ugly, his chest heaving violently, and his eyes were fixed on Zhu Yuanqing.
"I'll be fine." Zhu Yuanqing said helplessly, "If you're really worried, send them away and then come back to me."
Zhu Yuanqing believed that with Chen Mu's ability, he could move in and out of the pile of zombies. He also knew that if he didn't say anything to appease this man, this powder keg would probably explode soon.
"I can take you away, and I can also take the equipment and crystal core away." Chen Mu said solemnly.
He didn't consider other people at all. Zhu Yuanqing cared about the crystal core, so he could just take the crystal core away. There were so many researchers alive in the apocalypse, so he wouldn't need a few here.
"Don't you believe me?" Zhu Yuanqing patted his wrist gently.
Chen Mu didn't say anything, but shook his head vigorously.
Zhu Yuanqing choked and pushed Chen Mu unhappily. Well, he was standing as solid as a rock, but he didn't even push him.
Zhu Yuanqing calmly withdrew his hand and coughed softly, "There's nothing I can do if I don't believe it. My objection is futile."
