Chapter 204 The Culprit
" He Liang, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain for now. I think we have something else to do."
He Liang traveled through the shadows, but he also managed to get a fairly good understanding of the situation on Yu Miaomiao's side.
Everyone was startled by this sudden event.
"Hmm! Are you alright?" He Liang was too embarrassed to ask directly if the space was alright... that would seem too realistic.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, and your Mutated Wild Pheasants are fine too."
After all, the space contained all of Squad's supplies, so she had to be extra cautious.
In the future, such a thing must never happen again.
Yu Miaomiao clenched her hands, suppressing the anger in her heart.
"Oh dear, I was worried about you, hehe, and also, I was thinking about my chickens..."
He Liang spoke in a half-joking tone, clearly trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
The space was in an uproar.
Zhang Sen carried his companion's body to the front of the crowd, grabbed Chu Bai by the collar, and demanded an explanation.
" Captain Chu, you're not going to protect those two women just because they have your family members, are you? I'm telling you this! I demand an explanation! They must pay for my brother's life today."
Outside of space.
Yu Miaomiao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and replied, "We need a safe place now.He Liang, can you find one?"
"No problem," He Liang replied quickly. "I know an old factory nearby where we can take refuge for a while."
Yu Miaomiao nodded. Although He Liangcouldn't see, she knew he would understand the gesture.
"It'll be there in 5 minutes."
The conflict inside the space intensified, withZhang Sen's shouts almost drowning out everyone else's voices, and emotions were on the verge of exploding.
Chu Bai stood there, his face grave. He knew perfectly well that if this wasn't dealt with promptly, it would escalate into a disaster.
" Zhang Sen, calm down!" Chu Bai tried to reassure him. "We need to handle this rationally."
We are all saddened by your brother's death, but this is not the way to solve the problem.
"Rationality?" Zhang Sen sneered. "My brother is dead, how can you expect me to be rational?"
"If we all lose our minds, how are we any different from those Mutated Beasts?"
Chu Bai's voice wasn't loud, but every word was firm and resolute: "We are a team, bound together by life and death."
Now, we need to find out the truth, not blame each other.
At this moment, Yu Miaomiao's voice was transmitted to Chu Bai through Mental Power: "Chu Bai, we're almost there."
He Liang has found a safe location. We need to resolve the internal issues as soon as possible and then focus our efforts on dealing with external threats.
You don't have any objections, do you?
Seeing the tense situation, Chu Bai replied to Yu Miaomiao, "Okay."
He then looked at Zhang Sen, his tone full of skepticism. "If you did nothing, how could you have died for no reason? You probably know in your heart what you did."
Zhang Sen's eyes flickered, and his anger seemed to have subsided somewhat. He released his grip on Chu Bai's collar and whispered, "I...I don't care, I want an explanation, I want revenge for my brother."
"I disagreed with the idea of going into the space from the beginning, but you assured us that there would be no accidents, which encouraged us to give it a try."
"We will work together to find out the facts,"Chu Bai assured, "but right now, we must first ensure everyone's safety."
Yu Miaomiao and the others arrived at the old factory, a building that had been abandoned for many years. The windows were broken and the iron gates were rusty, but He Liang quickly determined that its structure was still solid enough to withstand the wind and rain.
It has not yet been completely eroded by acid rain.
The group quickly went inside, closed the door, and drew the curtains to minimize the possibility of being discovered by outsiders.
Then Yu Miaomiao took a deep breath and transferred everyone out of the space.
"Now, let's sit down and talk calmly," Chu Baisuggested, pointing to a corner of the factory where some old wooden crates and chairs were placed, barely enough for a person to sit down.
Zhang Sen's face was still full of anger, but he did not refuse. He simply sat heavily on a wooden box, his eyes fixed on Chu Bai, as if waiting for his next move.
