There must be a trick to this!
Hearing Zhong Zhi's words, Zhang Yinlin immediately sensed something was off. She instinctively shot a sideways glance at Yelai. At this moment, it was clear that Zhong Zhi was targeting Yelai, intending to lure her out and take the opportunity to deal with him.
Three years ago, Yelai had met his end in just this way; Luo Zhenxue had been drawn out, leaving Yelai alone at home to be killed by an Anomalous Entity.
"Captain Zhong, I think—" Zhang Yinlin began to refuse.
"Let the children witness the Anomalous Entity? Sure! Yinlin, I believe Brother Zhong's proposal is quite good. I estimate that Brother Zhong must have put in a lot of effort to persuade the other captains," Yelai said, looking at Zhong Zhi with an expression that seemed to say, "You've worked hard for the sake of the children."
Zhang Yinlin was taken aback.
What?
Zhong Zhi stood there momentarily stunned. Neither Zhang Yinlin nor Zhong Zhi had anticipated Yelai's sudden words and actions.
What’s going on? Yelai, what are you talking about? Didn’t I tell you that Zhong Zhi is someone sent by the Numbered Protection Zone? This is clearly a trap; why are you agreeing with him?
Confusion flickered in Zhang Yinlin's eyes as she struggled to comprehend Yelai's unexpected behavior.
Yelai had been asleep for three years and had just awakened; was his mind still foggy?
Zhong Zhi observed Yelai with a strange look. He knew that since he had taken the initiative to come forward, Zhang Yinlin would not easily agree. He had prepared quite a few arguments and strategies for this situation. Yet now, before he could even present any of them, here came an unexpected ally throwing him a curveball.
What’s going on?
How should I respond to Yelai?
Has Zhang Yinlin not told him about my identity yet?
If that’s the case, was he just pretending to be friendly with my brother earlier?
Although I don’t know the exact reason, Zhong Zhi is not going to let this opportunity slip away.
Hahaha, Brother Yelai, you flatter me! Isn’t this all for the future of the Safe Zone?
Even though I’m not from here, I’ve come to regard this place as my home over the past three years.
Brother Zhong, I feel the same way. Ever since the End of the Sequence began, I’ve been in the Safe Zone; this has become my second home. Yelai grinned and said, “Brother Zhong is also a person of sentiment.”
Oh, stop it.
The Vice Captain beside Zhong Zhi looked bewildered.
Watching the two of them compliment each other, their eyes meeting with a sense of camaraderie as if they had found kindred spirits, he was momentarily stunned.
Were they just putting on a show for each other, or were they truly good brothers?
Yinlin, what do you think? I believe we can’t delay this; if those captains change their minds, it would be a disaster.
The main thing is, I think Xiao Jun and the others want to see the Anomalous Entity as soon as possible too.
With Yelai rallying everyone’s spirits, the children present began to cheer.
“Teacher Zhang, can we see the Anomalous Entity?”
“Teacher Zhang, I want to see the Anomalous Entity!”
“I want to see too!”
“Please, Teacher Zhang!”
At that moment, Xiao Jun and the other children displayed their unique talent for innocent pleading.
Their clear, untainted eyes sparkled as they all looked at Zhang Yinlin eagerly.
Don't say it's Zhang Yinlin. Even Zhong Zhi, faced with those charming little eyes, would have to agree on behalf of Zhang Yinlin. But after a brief moment of softness in his heart...
