Chapter 260: Not Pretending Anymore

“Don’t go over yet.” Bai Lin extended her hand to stop Zhou Guang.
Zhou Guang did not know why Bai Lin had stopped him, but he trusted her and did not move.
The others did not dare to act rashly when they saw Bai Lin acting this way. They stood at the door and did not move forward.
The production team did not give out masks or gas masks, so there probably were not any poisonous gas here. Either that, or they had to find the masks them themselves.
However, there seemed to be a strange fragrance in the air.
They had observed a lot of plants outside just now, but most of them were made by the full sensory simulation technology and could not simulate smell, so the fragrance should not be from the mutant plants.
At this moment, a few people walked out from the corridor. The leader was a relatively tall woman.
They were all wearing white coats and looked like researchers in the research inst.i.tute.
“Are… Are you here to save us?” the woman asked, her voice hoa.r.s.e.
Bai Lin was keenly aware that these people did not come from simple backgrounds, so she did not answer.
“Are you the researchers here?” Li Xuan asked directly.
“Yes! We didn’t manage to escape. How did you guys get in? Can you save us?” The man standing behind the woman ran out in a panic and asked loudly, looking very scared.
Li Xuan was a bit hesitant. He looked at Bai Lin, but he could not see what she was thinking.
“Then you guys can leave now,” Bai Lin stepped aside and said, “We’ve opened the door.”
The few of them looked at each other. Why did this woman not play by the rules? Should she not be using them to find the source of the mutation now?
This way, they could find a corner with no one around and kill Bai Lin.
They were the mercenaries that Zheng You had hired to deal with Bai Lin. The rumor that Bai Lin was Bilina had long spread among them.
Even though the acting leader of Spikes had said many times that Bai Lin was not Bilina, there were still people who believed the rumor.
They did not know if the rumor was true, but if Bai Lin really was Bilina, then killing her would not only earn them a lot of money, it would also make them famous in the mercenary world. Why not do it?
Bai Lin ignored them and walked to the other side of the corridor.
When Zheng You saw these people who suddenly appeared, she guessed that they might be the people sent by the mercenary to kill Bai Lin.
She had never communicated with those people offline and had only talked to them through the phone. Plus, most mercenaries would put on simple
disguises when they were out on a mission, so she was not sure if these people were mercenaries she had hired, or staff arranged by the production team. “Follow us.” Zheng You did not leave with Bai Lin but greeted them instead. Yan Ruo glanced at Zheng You and sized up the few people.
The woman in the lead felt her entire body turn cold from Yan Ruo’s gaze. She only felt that this man’s aura was too fierce, as if he would skin her alive and rip her apart.
“We’ll escort you home safely, but we still need to find something here. Since you’re the researchers here, are you willing to help us?” Zheng You put on a gentle smile. The sunlight behind her illuminated her hair, making her look like a glowing saint.
[Lin-jie’s thinking is so straightforward. These must be staff members arranged by the crew, right? I feel like Lin-jie almost missed an important clue.]
[But that can’t be right. The accident happened three years ago, and there were zombies. How did they survive for three years? Is this a bug in the script?]
[I feel like Bai Lin doesn’t want to care about these people at all. Zheng You is still kinder, and she’s also considered that they could help find the source of the mutation. She’s still very smart since she was able to make similar games.]
[I have a bold idea. Could these people be the zombies?]
[That’s too bold of an idea. How can a zombie look exactly like a human?]
Seeing that Bai Lin did not speak, Zheng You became the leader directly. Not only did she recruit those people, she also began to command them to do things.
“I suggest we split up. These people are researchers here, so they must be familiar with this place. Bai Lin, can you go with them to find the lab? The rest of us will go look for the zombies. If there’s any problem, we can use the earphones to communicate.”
The production team had indeed given them earpieces, but this arrangement had undoubtedly singled Bai Lin out.
It seemed that Zheng You was not going to pretend anymore..
