"Lin, do you think Xiaofan, our leader, might really have already..."
"Qiangzi, what nonsense are you talking about? The leader is so powerful, how could he possibly die."
"But even if we maintain a positive and optimistic mindset, reality is still cruel. In that environnt, the survival rate is less than one in ten thousand."
"Bullsh**." Li Sai interrupted with a curse.
"Hmm, Li Sai, what do you think?" Although he was cursed at, He Qiang didn't mind and asked Li Sai as he approached him.
"Didn't you hear Li San when he was seeing us off at the plane? He said there were about ten people who survived, not so one-in-ten-thousand chance. If those dozen people could survive, how could our leader not? When it cos to our leader, he's skilled in both literature and martial arts, can do anything. Anyway, no way I'd believe it. If others can survive there, our leader surely can as well."
Though it sounded like he was being stubborn, he had a point...
Think about it, in that environnt, if there are a dozen people surviving, why couldn't Ye Xiaofan survive?
In terms of intelligence, courage, skills, and character... among the dozen survivors, who could compare to their leader?
If those dim-witted guys could survive, then definitely Ye Xiaofan could too.
This kind of talk is sort of self-consolation. Who knows, maybe one day their leader Ye Xiaofan will suddenly jump out from sowhere.
"Lin..."
"What?"
Hearing his na called, Lin Hongbin suddenly stopped and looked back at his brothers.
No, the voice calling him just now was a woman's.
"Up there..."
They looked up.
An extraordinary beauty was watching them from a window. Her eyes were exceedingly cold. Yet, her look seed to lack spirit.
"Sister-in-law..."
"Oh, sister-in-law."
Lin Hongbin was taken aback, calling out sowhat awkwardly, while He Qiang was quick to wave excitedly at Shen Zuimo.
Damn, because of Xiaofan's disappearance everyone's been uneasy, without realizing it, they had wandered to the hospital wing.
They weren't sure if their conversation just now was heard by their sister-in-law.
"Did you just co back from a mission?" Shen Zuimo asked softly.
"Lin, you're the team leader, speak up..."
"Uh, oh, oh, sister-in-law, we just ca back from… finished a mission, hehe, hehe..."
Lin Hongbin's performance could earn him a negative score. It didn't at all resemble normal conversation.
"So, are there any updates about him?"
"Him? No, no, Captain Xiaofan hasn't contacted us."
They had to lie. At least, until Shen Zuimo took the antidote, she couldn't learn about Xiaofan's disappearance.
"Oh, then you guys..."
"Oh, right, sister-in-law, we just returned to the organization, there's a lot to do, so let's chat later when there's a chance..."
Lin Hongbin dropped this line and hurriedly led his group away from the trouble hotspot.
Trying to act in front of Shen Zuimo was undoubtedly picking the wrong audience.
Amid their panicked expressions, Shen Zuimo sensed intense unease.
Usually, when they t her, they'd greet her warmly and then go on about Xiaofan's many virtues.
But today, there was none of that. Just a few words and they quickly slipped away.
Sothing's off, very off.
Yanhuang Soul looks weird today too, it feels like everyone passing by is discussing so major news.
Right now, besides his matter, what could be significant enough to have everyone whispering?
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Zuimo."
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Zuimo, are you in there?"
"Brother, I'm in." Shen Zuimo said softly: "Co in."
"Phew, finally can co in." Shen Junjie quickly opened the door and rushed to the bedside.
"Huh, no IV drip again today?"
"I'm afraid you'd drug the IV, so I skipped it..." Shen Zuimo casually remarked.
"Cough, cough, what are you talking about, the IV is to boost your immunity, help you..."
"Don't co closer. I know what you're trying to do." Shen Zuimo stopped her brother from approaching again.
Alright, Xiaofan had instructed ti and again, even if by force, they must get the dicine into Zuimo's mouth. There's only four days left, without taking it, it really would be too late.
And now with Xiaofan missing, his fate unknown, if his sister knew, it'd be even tougher to get her to take the antidote.
"Stay there, if you take another step, I'll throw the antidote away..."
"No, please, okay, okay, I'll stay here. Zuimo, just listen, don't do anything rash, okay?" Shen Junjie had resolved that today, no matter what, either by coaxing or tricking, he'd get Zuimo to take the antidote. However, his sister's vigilance was really high.
"I'll ask you a few questions now, answer honestly, once you're done, I'll take the antidote."
"Alright, ask away."
"Did sothing happen to Xiaofan?"
"Huh? No way, what are you talking about? How could sothing happen to him..."
"Lie. Your eyes glanced upward. If you're lying, that ans Xiaofan really is in danger. What's going on?" Shen Zuimo's heart suddenly grew uneasy.
"Don't be so paranoid, sis, really, there's nothing..."
"I'll give you one more chance to rephrase: one, two. Three."
"Wait, wait, wait, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Seeing Shen Zuimo threatening to toss the antidote, Shen Junjie dared not defy.
Damn, who leaked the information?
Shen Zuimo was a woman of her word, and besides, Shen Junjie couldn't risk it; if he angered his sister and she threw the antidote away, in the remaining days, they'd just be waiting for death.
But Shen Junjie didn't realize, when he told everything, his sister might have an even more severe reaction.
"...Later, I lied to her saying you'd taken the antidote, and then boarded Demon Island. Ultimately, on the island, he and Japan had a great battle, shortly after, Muto died at his hands, and with the fire beyond control, Demon Island exploded massively.
