Humans Shrunk 100 Times

In the telescope, Chen Mu could see the actions of Tong Bin and the others, but due to the distance, some details were unclear, such as whether the steel balls in the hand grenades had pierced through the opponent's defense shield.

In his opinion, although the current opponent's defense was perfect, it wouldn't last very long precisely because it was too perfect.

However, Tong Bin continued to move forward, proving that he must be confident, or else he wouldn't be joking with his life.

He asked Cao Zishan to stop shooting and then inquired through the microphone, "How many shells do we have left?"

"Forty-five," Cao Zishan replied.

"Watch my signals and throw all of them at once," Chen Mu ordered.

"Huh? How do I watch the signals?" Cao Zishan was puzzled.

But Chen Mu didn't answer him anymore. He turned around and prepared to go down.

"Are you going out?" Dong Junwei was surprised.

"Since they are willing to talk, it means they don't intend to break the deadlock by force. Let's hear what they have to say first. Honestly, our chances of winning a full-scale war are not high," Chen Mu said.

"But what if they just want to lure you out and ambush you?" Dong Junwei asked.

"It's not that easy," Chen Mu said, "Currently, everyone's abilities have their limits. If the other side really has an ability user who can instantly kill me, whether I go out or not, we're already doomed."

"Besides, who's to say who is ambushing whom," Chen Mu smiled.

"I'll go with you," He Ying jumped twice in place.

The two of them were well-coordinated in combat, and even if He Ying couldn't help much, she wouldn't be a burden.

But this time, Chen Mu didn't plan to take her along and said, "I'm not going out to fight. It's best if we can negotiate. Even if we can't, do you think I would prepare to fight so many people?"

After all, this was a significant matter, and Chen Mu still wanted to respect Dong Junwei's opinion.

Dong Junwei glanced at Tang Jing, apparently wanting to know her thoughts.

Tang Jing looked at Chen Mu and said, "It's up to you to decide."

Without further ado, Chen Mu slid down the bar to the ground.

Below, everyone held hand grenades, fully armed. Since the alarm sounded, Wei Dalei had immediately led others to bring out the ammunition from the arsenal, and they were still transporting it continuously.

Chen Mu didn't stop them; he didn't know what the outcome of this battle would be.

Of course, he had the biggest hope.

Du Jiajia had gone out riding the cat. If she could come back in time, she might be able to control the situation.

However, Chen Mu didn't dare to bet all his hopes on the cat; it wasn't reliable last time.

Moreover, if Qing Bei was indeed keeping an eye on this place, they wouldn't be unaware of the existence of the two cats. The fact that they dared to appear so conspicuously meant they were prepared.

The person in the passageway under the door crack.

Chen Mu took a few deep breaths behind the door, then opened it and walked out.

Outside the door.

A group of more than ten people from Qingbei stood scattered in front, and the tall and thin boy who could activate the defense shield occasionally looked up at the sky.

Upon seeing only one person coming out, Tong Bin knew that he must be Chen Mu, who looked exactly like the portrait of Miao Qingqing.

Just as he was about to speak, Chen Mu preemptively said, "Hello, everyone. Nice weather, isn't it?"

Tong Bin looked at him with a sincere greeting and was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. "Indeed, it is. You must be Chen Mu?"

Chen Mu didn't directly respond but instead asked, "May I ask who you all are?"

"Aroso didn't tell you?" Tong Bin tilted his head, and with his tall stature, he appeared somewhat strange.

"Aroso? Sounds like a Korean name?" Chen Mu looked puzzled.

Tong Bin remained calm and smiled, "Then, do you know Song Yu?"

"Ah... Yes, I know him!" Chen Mu smiled. "We get along well; we meet every few days. So, does that mean you are part of Qingbei too?"

This statement didn't trigger much of a reaction from Tong Bin, but the dozen or so people behind him became restless.

"What do you discuss when you meet?" Tong Bin asked.

"Oh, a lot of things," Chen Mu replied. "But can you answer my question first? Who are you all?"

"I'm Tong Bin, affiliated with Qingbei."

"Hello, I'm Chen Mu," Chen Mu answered formally as well.

"The barrage of shells earlier was quite intense," Tong Bin laughed heartily.

"It was a misunderstanding. We actually thought they were from Yizhong," Chen Mu said. "Did anyone get hurt?"

"No, nobody," Tong Bin replied.

"In that case, why have all of you come here? Do you have something specific in mind?" Chen Mu asked.

Tong Bin said, "In fact, it's nothing more than those matters you know about. Considering the current situation, having more people makes things easier. Qingbei aims high and is confident in rebuilding human society. We've been observing this place for a while and want to ask if you are interested in joining Qingbei."

"We've had several groups of people trying to persuade us before, but our current life is pretty good, and we have no intention of joining anyone," Chen Mu shrugged.

"Being good now doesn't guarantee a good future. Do you really plan to be stuck here forever?" Tong Bin's rhetoric wasn't great, but it seemed like he genuinely wanted to persuade Chen Mu.

Chen Mu asked, "And what about Qingbei now? How has it developed?"

"At the very least, we don't have to worry about food, and everyone has their own place to live."

"To be honest, we have the same situation here," Chen Mu replied with a wave of his hand.

"In that case, it's even better. After merging, both our combat strength and living standards will undoubtedly improve."

Chen Mu fell into contemplation and after a while, he said, "It seems reasonable."

"So, you agree then?" Tong Bin was taken aback.

"If it's a good thing, why not agree?" Chen Mu smiled.

"That's great."

"So, when are you coming over?" Chen Mu asked again.

"Coming over?"

"Yes, since we are going to merge, of course, you need to come over," Chen Mu said naturally.

"What I meant is... inviting you to join Qingbei."

"Why not have Qingbei join us?" Chen Mu questioned.

"We have more people," Tong Bin replied.

"We have a considerable number too," Chen Mu argued logically.

"How many people do you have?"

"How many does Qingbei have?"

"Aroso should have told you, right?"

"Who is that Korean person anyway?"

...

The two of them bickered back and forth like children, then simultaneously fell silent.

"Enough chitchat. Let's get to the point," Tong Bin smiled.

"Please, go ahead," Chen Mu gestured invitingly.

"We want to take Aroso back," Tong Bin said seriously.

"Why not Yang Li?" Chen Mu was puzzled.

"By saying that, you admit that Aroso and the other girl are with you, right?" Tong Bin's lips curled up slightly, thinking that he finally lured you into saying it.

However, Chen Mu remained composed and calmly replied, "Who is that Korean person anyway?"
