15: Chapter 15 Waiting 15: Chapter 15 Waiting “Is there a problem with what I said?”
Su Mo indifferently retorted.
“Uh~ It’s just that we didn’t know each other before, it was a misunderstanding, you know, the saying ‘no fight, no acquaintance’, and it’s not a life or death enmity.
Besides, if I died now, I’d be letting them down even more.”
Lan Xi tried hard to explain.
“Then I have to be even more careful around you, you’re the one who lives on carrying their hopes.
It’s only because you can’t beat that you’re so quiet right now.
Once you get the chance, I’ll be in even more danger.”
Su Mo analyzed with conviction.
“Ah!
Can’t you make conversation?
How can you choke soone with every sentence you say?”
Lan Xi suddenly went crazy, she had never felt so speechless before.
Then, in a fit of rage, she kicked the door next to her and it imdiately opened.
Su Mo was also stunned, the door wasn’t securely closed.
Suddenly, Su Mo’s eyes narrowed; he noticed traces in the dust on the floor and beca alert.
As the room was facing the sun, unlike the dimly lit corridor, he noticed it right away.
Lan Xi, who was full of anger at the mont, was about to speak.
Su Mo raised his hand to signal her not to talk and started to scrutinize every corner of the room.
Yet the entire room was empty, nothing was there.
“There’s no one here.”
Lan Xi, seeing Su Mo being so cautious, replied with confusion.
Ignoring Lan Xi, Su Mo carefully studied the traces on the ground, deducing that soone had indeed co into this room, but the footprints disappeared at the center.
So Su Mo pulled Lan Xi to the center of the room to a specific spot, then had her grip the anti-riot baton and assu a ready stance.
“What are we doing?”
“Nothing much, just hold that pose and don’t move, you’ll know what’s going on in a mont.”
Su Mo responded nonchalantly.
Lan Xi had no choice but to do as Su Mo said.
Ten minutes later, twenty minutes later.
Just as Lan Xi had been holding the anti-riot baton until her arms were almost numb.
Suddenly, a figure began to materialize.
Lan Xi got a huge scare and instinctively slamd down with her baton.
“Ow!”
A young man, wearing a bulletproof vest and holding a shotgun, with a sneaky look, cried out in pain.
He viciously raised the shotgun at Lan Xi.
“Looking for death?”
He was speechless too; he had just logged on, and the first thing he got was a baton to the head, blood streaming from his scalp.
However, at that mont, a hand ca from behind and grasped his shoulder.
The young man flinched reflexively and turned his head.
All he saw was a fist smashing heavily into his face, imdiately feeling dizzy.
He didn’t know how much ti passed before he slowly ca to, only to find himself tied up tightly and stripped clean of his belongings.
Soon he saw the culprits, Su Mo and Lan Xi, standing right in front of him.
“Who are you?”
The young man asked with a puzzled face.
“Who we are doesn’t matter, who are you?”
Su Mo asked coldly.
“Look, let’s talk this out, my na is Sun Duoxiang, I’m a mber of the Wuji Guild.”
Sun Duoxiang quickly introduced himself.
“Never heard of it.”
“It’s normal for soone as aweso as you, Big Brother, to not have heard of it.
You must be from an even bigger guild.
Please don’t make it hard for a small fry like .
With your handso and dashing looks, and invincible bravery, you might as well let go as if I were just a fart…”
Sun Duoxiang was full of the will to survive as he licked Su Mo’s boots fervently.
Lan Xi looked on with a face full of contempt.
Unexpectedly, Su Mo lifted his shotgun and aid at Sun Duoxiang’s head, looking like he was about to blow him away.
Sun Duoxiang turned pale with terror and shouted with utmost fear.
“Don’t, Big Brother!
If I said sothing wrong, you can point it out, or even scold .
But please, don’t be impulsive—impulsiveness is the devil!”
Lan Xi was also confused by Su Mo’s action and looked at him incredulously.
“What are you doing?”
“Nothing, just offing him!
Didn’t you tell that people who are all smiles and flattery to your face are the ones most likely to stab you in the back?
So why keep him around?”
Su Mo responded quite matter-of-factly.
Lan Xi was so shocked she could barely close her mouth.
Sun Duoxiang turned even greener.
What kind of twisted logic was this?
At that mont, he saw Su Mo about to pull the trigger and shook all over in fright, quickly saying.
“Don’t kill , Brother, I can be useful.”
“Useful how?”
“I have heavyweight information.”
Sun Duoxiang quickly played his most significant card, trying to persuade the other party.
As soon as he said this, Su Mo’s murderous intent beca apparent, and he replied.
“You have heavyweight information?”
Sun Duoxiang trembled with fear and hurriedly answered, “I’m not lying to you, I just went offline to get information from the guild.”
“In that case, I really can’t leave you alive.”
Su Mo stated with certainty.
“What the hell!
Why?”
Sun Duoxiang was completely baffled.
How co having information ant he was more likely to be eliminated?
“The person beside also said she had important information before, and it turned out to be a ruse.
Do you think I’m going to fall for the sa thing twice?”
Su Mo replied indifferently.
Lan Xi’s mouth twitched at the corner; she wondered if Su Mo was deliberately mocking her.
But the one who was most devastated was still Sun Duoxiang; he was about to pass out.
“If she lied to you, that’s got nothing to do with , right?
What I’m saying is the truth; I’m not deceiving you.”
Su Mo watched Sun Duoxiang, who was a ss of snot and tears, pondered for a mont, and then spoke.
“Fine, I’ll give you one chance, but if the information you provide is worthless, I won’t give you another opportunity to speak.”
Sun Duoxiang nodded vigorously, swearing through his tears.
“It absolutely won’t be.”
“Speak.”
“I just got the latest intel from the guild; there’s a safe zone in the city we’re in.
All the survivors in the city are gathering there.
Once we get there, everything will be safe.”
“Where is it?”
Lan Xi asked subconsciously.
“I can’t give you the exact coordinates, but at ten o’clock tonight, players will set off a signal (like a firelight, noise, and so forth) to guide us to the exact location.
Then we can team up and head to that area together.”
Sun Duoxiang assured with solemn conviction.
After listening, Su Mo responded expressionlessly, “You think I’ll believe you?
In this world, there’s no such thing as an absolute safe zone.
If we head to that so-called safe zone, won’t we just be robbed or killed by other players?”
“Big Brother, listen to .
Roaming outside, no matter how aweso you are, it’s not going to end well.
After all, ‘two fists can’t defeat four hands,’ and we can only go to the safe zone to group up.
Besides, you seem to be without a guild, right?
It’s okay; once we reach the safe zone, you can join our guild.
I’ll cover for you.”
Sun Duoxiang craftily invited him, sensing from Su Mo’s words that he was without a guild; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so wary of the safe zone.
Nowadays, recruiting new mbers into the guild cos with a reward, especially high-quality recruits; the rewards are extrely generous.
