Chapter 420: Not Allowed
“Yeah, split up would be a good idea.” Yu Yaqing said earnestly, “We’ll help Yan Qingwen set the trap, while Weiwei can plan the retreat route. Since it’s not convenient for Weiwei to move around, perhaps Shen Mo could accompany her. This way, won’t it be faster?”
Shen Fei moved his lips, unsure of what to say.
At a time , shouldn’t his cousin be leading the charge like a hero arriving on scene? Why was his assigned task to “accompany” Bai Youwei?!
Isn’t that a waste of resources?!
He turned to look Shen Mo.
Shen Mo nodded impassively, “Alright.”
What do you mean by Alright, brother ?!!!
Turbulent waves set off in Shen Fei’s heart.
Meanwhile, Lun Ang let out a laugh and said, “Since we’re all in this game together, Weiwei, stop keeping secrets. Let’s give our poor Qingwen a break.”
Tan Xiao, with hands on his hips, stood in front and said, “Wow, of course my boss should make the grand finale! To have you guys boss her around now… wouldn’t that be too disgraceful!”
Shen Fei stared at them, his expression stiff.
He didn’t understand. Why…why did they all seem to trust Bai Youwei so much? What on earth made Bai Youwei so competent?!
Entrusting the retreat route to Bai Youwei was akin to entrusting their lives to her!
Even the slightest flaw in the escape route could result in death!
Lun Ang laughed heartily and teased Tan Xiao, “Which one is your boss? The tall one, or… the short one?”
Considering Bai Youwei was in a wheelchair, she was naturally shorter than everyone present.
Her face turned sour as she glared at Tan Xiao, as if ready to blow up if his response didn’t meet her satisfaction.
Tan Xiao, struck by a sudden inspiration, loudly declared, “My boss is riding on the shoulders of the Giant! She’s taller!!!”
Bai Youwei usually leaned on Shen Mo’s shoulder, so it was kind of like riding on him.
With that remark, he’d managed to compliment both of them. Tan Xiao puffed out his chest in triumph. He was over the moon!
He felt like he’d just reached a new high in his life!
Bai Youwei coldly withdrew her gaze.
Shen Mo had a faint smile on his lips.
Shen Fei was deeply puzzled.
Zhao Mingdeng urged, “We have less than three hours until it gets dark. We should make the most of the daylight for a preliminary scout.”
“Nope.” Bai Youwei said emotionlessly, “With the current information, we can’t guarantee a 100% safe retreat. The Cat’s height and speed directly affect its and Mary’s view. A meter higher or lower would greatly affect the effectiveness of the retreat route. I’m not interested in pointless effort.”
Zhao Mingdeng frowned, “So what do we do now?”
“Familiarise yourself with the area you’re in charge of, find a hiding place and then…” Bai Youwei shrugged, “Wait for nightfall~”
“But wouldn’t that be wasting daylight?!” Zhao Mingdeng’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper, feeling that it wasn’t right, “And we’ve already found hiding places just now!”
Shen Fei scorned in his heart
She’s refusing because she doesn’t want to plan the retreat route, trying to shirk responsibility!
Bai Youwei kept her nonchalant tone, “I suggest you abandon the first hiding spot. It would be best to give up on the second backup as well. Hide in the third or fourth spot you find, because the first two locations are likely places previous players hid, and Mary and the Cat will prioritize searching these places unless they’re stupid.”
Shen Mo stated, “Right now, we are not yet familiar with the entire amusement park. We also lack understanding of the strengths of Mary and the Cat. Even with a trap in place, it would be hard to make it effective.”
Zhao Mingdeng pondered, then let out a deep sigh, “Alright, we’ll wait till tonight and assess the situation then!”
