TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Compromise

“It’s not like there’s no chance at all. Is that how you treat your teammates too?” Xie YunChuan glanced at the two people sitting over there. They were both strong. The last time he saw them, there were four; now two were gone.

Following his gaze, Shen Ye also glanced over there and said, “But I don’t need to risk my life for irrelevant people, do I?

You don’t need to deliberately raise your voice to provoke conflict. Their relationship with me is just that we’re doing missions together, each fulfilling our duties. We’re bound by interests; we’ll help each other out when needed and avoid stabbing each other in the back. But it’s not like anyone would give their life for anyone else. I know this, and they know it too.”

This was also the quality that an end-of-the-world task force needed. If someone can’t be saved, you abandon them decisively. Hesitating and insisting on sharing life and death, charging brainlessly to your death because someone else is dying? Shen Ye really wouldn’t dare to bring such teammates out to do things.

“Am I irrelevant to you?”

Shen Ye glared. “Can you be reasonable? It’s not that I’m standing by while you die; it’s that you want to go and die, and I don’t want to go with you and am trying my best to dissuade you, okay?”

Admittedly, although Shen Ye sometimes felt jealous of Xie YunChuan, if it really came down to life and death, Xie YunChuan would be the person Shen Ye would be willing to trade his life for.

For no other reason than Xie Mother’s kindness in raising him. Shen Ye could never watch her biological son die in front of him.

Shen Ye and Xie YunChuan were the type who would bicker and wish each other dead on the surface, but in reality, they both knew that the other was someone they could trust to watch their back.

Xie YunChuan: “If you’re not going, fine. Give me all the information you have about zombies like Li Meng, and I’ll go myself.” Anyway, Luo WuShang wouldn’t let him die. At most, he’d just suffer more torment and hardship.

Poor Shen Ye was kept in the dark, thinking Xie YunChuan was really that reckless.

Outside the door, Li Shi, who didn’t know where he’d found an arm covered in bloody filth, chewed and swallowed the meat in his mouth, saying, “Boss, where did you find this backup? He’s a bit useless.”

Not only was he deserting after taking the field, but he wasn’t even going to get to the field.

Li Shi’s talent was just this: enjoying gossip. Unless it was a big shot like Luo WuShang, even people who were a little stronger than him couldn’t prevent him from eavesdropping.

This made Li Shi follow behind Luo WuShang all day like a busybody, eating melons. Sometimes, he wondered if he was being a bit of a waste of talent. He was using his talent for eavesdropping.

The most hateful thing was that he was itching from eavesdropping, but he had no one, zombie or human, to share it with.

Luo WuShang always heard everything too, just like him. Li Shi actively used his power to eavesdrop, while Luo WuShang could hear it as long as he didn’t block his ears. Unfortunately, this big shot Luo WuShang didn’t like to chat with Li Shi.

Alas!

Li Shi could only silently gnaw on his elbow and listen. Only when he really couldn’t help it would he discuss a few words with Luo WuShang, but he often didn’t get a positive response from the other party.

Like now, Luo WuShang, who was disgusted by Li Shi gnawing on his elbow, had already flashed several steps away from Li Shi. Hearing his telepathic message, he just glanced at him coldly and then spat out even more ruthless words: “If he’s useless, then you go up and replace him?”

The elbow that Li Shi had just raised to his mouth suddenly didn’t smell good anymore, and he couldn’t bring himself to bite it. He pleaded with a bitter face, “No, Li Meng counters me.”

Just like Li Shi could easily see through Li Meng’s illusions at a low level, Li Meng’s talent could also easily break through Li Shi’s mind control technique.

The two zombies’ skills countered each other. Li Shi was a third-level zombie so much lower than Li Meng. Letting him deal with Li Meng was purely throwing meat buns to beat a dog. Not only would it not cause any damage, but it would also fatten the dog.

This was also the reason why Luo WuShang hadn’t even considered letting Li Shi assist Xie YunChuan from the beginning.

Luo WuShang shouted, “If you don’t want to go, then shut up!”

Turning his head back to look into the house through the door, Luo WuShang’s lips curled into a wicked smile. He knew that Shen Ye would definitely help Xie YunChuan.

Humans valued gratitude. Luo WuShang hadn’t had contact with Shen Ye, but Luo Shuyou had. Luo WuShang also had some vague impressions of him.

Don’t think that Shen Ye didn’t show much respect for Xie Mother in his conversation with Xie YunChuan. He was the kind of person who would go to his death without complaint or reason even if Xie YunChuan’s mother asked him to. He couldn’t let Xie Mother’s son go to his death.

Sure enough, inside the house, Shen Ye used both soft and hard tactics, but he couldn’t stop Xie YunChuan from being determined to find Li Meng and fight to the death.

In the end, Shen Ye compromised.

The moment Shen Ye relented, Xie YunChuan also imperceptibly curved the corners of his mouth. He also knew that Shen Ye couldn’t let him go to his death.

However, Xie YunChuan wasn’t the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless bad seed who only screwed over his own people. Although he hadn’t told Shen Ye that he had Luo WuShang as a life-saving charm to guarantee his safety, he had still properly discussed it with Luo WuShang, requesting Luo WuShang to also take care of Shen Ye’s safety.

If Shen Ye was really killed, then Xie YunChuan wouldn’t just be cold-blooded and ruthless, but a heartless villain.

…

The next morning, wearing special ugly glasses, Xie YunChuan and Shen Ye had been squatting on the wall of Li Meng’s house for a while.

After watching for a long time, they finally confirmed that the little zombie Li Meng wasn’t in this house right now, and the woman who was going in and out of the house to work was indeed a human.

This made things much easier. Changing their sneaky and furtive manner, the two of them knocked on the door openly and were politely invited into the house by the woman inside.

Afraid that Li Meng would suddenly come back at any time, Xie YunChuan and Shen Ye inconspicuously and quickly gathered information, and left in less than half an hour.

Because Shen Ye was here, Luo WuShang didn’t follow closely behind Xie YunChuan like before. Instead, he relaxed, went back to the house, and took a nap.

With Shen Ye around, it would still take some effort for Li Meng to kill them. If a fight really broke out, Luo WuShang would have enough time to rush to the scene to be the life-saving charm before they died.

Moreover, it was very likely that Luo WuShang wouldn’t even need to go. Don’t listen to Shen Ye saying it so seriously, saying that they would definitely not be able to beat Li Meng.

If they really couldn’t beat her, he would tie Xie YunChuan up and take him away, and wouldn’t really accompany him to his death. He was just reluctant to use the life-saving gadgets that Xie Mother had given him. Those high-powered but delicate and portable weapons were very precious and rare. Shen Ye would definitely save them if he could.

If he could force out all the good stuff in his hands this time, who knew who would win.
