Chapter 112: Discovery
Around a hundred jin of rice (roughly 50 kilograms), even with the speed of these people, would require them to work day and night for the next few days to complete the transportation. They had to be on the move constantly, without stopping.
Chen Mu and Tang Jing had previously estimated that there were about 200 people in Qingbei in total, and this group of food carriers consisted of around 40 individuals.
In other words, they could easily take turns and carry the supplies without any rest.
In other words, the people from Qingbei would return soon.
However, when Chen Mu realized this issue, it was already too late; the others had just reached the entrance, blocking their way back.
Obviously, judging from the speed of those people just now, it was impossible for them to complete a round trip to the playground alone. This meant that there were at least two groups alternating in carrying the supplies.
"What should we do?" He Ying asked with a serious expression.
"Hide," Chen Mu pointed to the corner where miscellaneous items were stacked.
Luckily, for the humans at this moment, the room seemed like a palace. Unless the other side conducted a thorough search, they shouldn't be discovered.
The pile of miscellaneous items looked like empty rice bags casually folded in the corner.
Chen Mu and He Ying rushed over and quickly hid inside.
The voices outside were getting closer.
Soon enough, a group of people came in, dragging metal plates just like before, entering through the crack in the door.
Following them, they clanged their way towards the pile of rice.
Leading the group were two individuals, walking in front with their hands behind their backs. Upon reaching the destination, they began directing others to fill the metal plates with rice.
Due to the distance, Chen Mu couldn't hear what they were saying clearly. He whispered to He Ying, "Let's get closer and listen to what they're talking about."
"Is it necessary?"
"This is a rare opportunity to understand the situation in Qingbei. Just be cautious, and it should be fine."
"Alright then."
He Ying, overall, was more conservative by nature, but when the situation called for it, she wouldn't be afraid to take risks. Just like when she had followed Chen Mu in the past to steal food, even if caught, she could face everything calmly.
The environment created by the five snake-skin bags felt like a maze. Chen Mu and He Ying kept moving inside, gradually getting closer to the group of people. Eventually, they found a spot just a few centimeters away from the others and stopped.
From this position, they could barely hear the conversation but could clearly see the actions of the group. They observed as the group lifted one end of the metal boxes and pushed them into the pile of rice. Another group of people stood on the rice heap and continued to pull and draw.
Finally, just like using a shovel, they filled the boxes to the brim.
He Ying whispered, "They should also have someone with an ability similar to Lu Shanshan's. Those big boxes are obviously too heavy for these people to lift."This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
Chen Mu nodded in agreement.
The two leaders didn't participate in the manual labor at first. However, after a while, one of them, a student wearing the purple Wei High School uniform, ran to the rice heap and squatted down.
"What about Song Yu?" the other person said playfully.
"Oh!" The student in the school uniform hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although Senior Song is my idol now, I will definitely surpass him in the future!"
"Since that's the case, you should set your sights on the horizon and not be entangled in these trivial matters."
"Yes."
When it came to this topic, the school uniformed student named Yang Bu'an seemed to have no time to consider anything else.
Chen Mu became anxious as he saw the two of them endlessly chatting. What if more people kept coming in to carry rice? They might end up trapped here. The most troublesome part was that Wei Dalei would surely come looking for them if they didn't return, and it would be hard to explain then.
However, the area around the door was wide and open. It was clearly impossible to slip out unnoticed from under the watchful eyes of the two.
If they forced their way out, they were afraid these two individuals might have some special abilities. Being responsible for escorting the team probably required some level of capability.
Moreover, the young man named Yang Bu'an was clearly a combat-type esper, but Chen Mu couldn't confirm the specifics of his ability yet.
Just when he was in a dilemma, the senior student suddenly shouted towards Chen Mu's location, "You two, it's time to come out now."
He Ying was taken aback.
Chen Mu frowned slightly, surprised that the other person had already known they were hiding there and even knew their exact location and number.
Since they were discovered, there was no point in hiding further. However, before going out, Chen Mu handed a plastic helmet to He Ying.
He had made it on the spot.
It looked like a motorcycle helmet, but simpler, covering the head while exposing two eyes and a nose.
He Ying instantly understood his intention.
He didn't want their appearance to be seen.
Was he going to play the role of a masked hero?
After putting on the helmet, they both walked out from behind the pile of miscellaneous items.
Upon seeing the two, the guy named Yang Bu'an immediately exclaimed, "Oh, the male and female thieves?"
