Chapter 206 Parting Ways
Yu Miaomiao observed all of this quietly, but her thoughts were racing.
She remembered the voice she heard in the space; it did indeed sound similar to Chu Bai's voice.
But she also noticed Chu Bai's reaction at this moment; he didn't seem to be in a hurry to reveal all the truth, but rather adopted a more cautious attitude.
Yu Miaomiao silently analyzed in his mind: ifdumpling was indeed the cause of the Zhang Sen brothers' deaths, then why didn't Chu Baireveal it immediately?
There may be complex considerations behind this.
She realized that Chu Bai might be weighing the stability of the team against the consequences of his personal behavior.
Or perhaps, Chu Bai is indeed covering for them.
She decided to hold off on bringing up Dumplingfor the time being and instead observe how Chu Bai handles the current situation.
She believes that Chu Bai will take action when necessary, and she will provide support at critical moments.
The issue of the stolen space can no longer be discussed at this moment.
" Miaomiao, I feel like Chu Bai is stirring up trouble."
Lu An naturally found the situation strange as well, so he asked Yu Miaomiao for her opinion in a low voice.
"Yes, he should be on our side, but he seems to have some reservations about Zhang Sen. We can't bring up the theft of the spatial jade to question them for now... after all, the fewer people who know, the better."
Yu Miaomiao responded softly to Lu An, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"The situation is complicated. We don't know if there is a larger force behind the Zhang Senbrothers, or if they are just pawns being used."
Chu Bai may be trying to protect us while also wanting to avoid unnecessary conflict.
His decision not to reveal everything for now is perhaps to buy us time to find a more prudent solution.
She continued, "As for the theft of the spatial jade, it is indeed not appropriate to make it public. This not only concerns our safety, but may also lead to more trouble."
We must proceed cautiously to avoid alerting him. However, we cannot remain completely passive; we need to find an opportunity to communicate privately with Chu Bai, understand his true intentions, and express our position.
After saying all this, Yu Miaomiao slowly walked to Chu Bai's side, her gaze towards Zhang Senfilled with scrutiny.
" Zhang Sen, since you feel this space is unsafe, how about we go our separate ways from now on?"
She will continue on her journey in her own way. Those who wish to travel with her can continue, but she will not force those who are on different paths.
The strong acid rain outside continues relentlessly.
A sour, putrid odor continuously filled everyone's nostrils.
Zhang Sen was caught off guard by Yu Miaomiao's sudden proposal; he clearly hadn't expected Yu Miaomiao to be so direct in suggesting they part ways.
His expression changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, a mixture of surprise and barely perceptible hatred.
After all, despite their differences, in such harsh environments, the strength of the team is often the key to survival.
Chu Bai then interjected, trying to ease the tension: " Yu Miaomiao, we are in a very difficult situation right now. The external environment is harsh, and if we split internally again, it will only increase the risk to our survival."
Zhang Sen and his squad have also contributed to our team, and we should try our best to avoid internal conflicts.
Yu Miaomiao turned to Chu Bai, her gaze firm: "I understand the importance of the team, but as you also know, when something goes wrong in the space, everything becomes unpredictable."
I have doubts about Zhang Sen and his group's motives and actions, so I can't take the risk; I have to be responsible for my own team.
If they are unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, or if there are other hidden reasons, then separating might be the best option.
"Ha, who wants to stay in your space, brothers? We men are capable of protecting ourselves. Bah, this Underground City is all a bunch of lies and empty promises. There are no promised benefits at all. When it comes to risking our lives, they just push us Ability Users forward... I'm quitting."
