Weirdness is coming: Chen Mu Nugui started with trillions of ghost coins

Chapter 1403 We're Going to Escape! (Thanks to the amazing reader "落花可闻" for the gene

Hearing Chen Mu's concern, Shen Hanmeng felt a warmth in her heart.

Whether the leader genuinely cares or not, it's still better than a leader who can't even be bothered to pretend.

"Mr. Chen, apart from a slight psychological issue that makes me afraid of narrow places, I'm perfectly fine," Shen Hanmeng continued.

"Chief Night told me about the general situation of the bizarre apocalypse and the Watchful River."

I really admire how well you've built the Wangjiang Watchtower. But I have one concern though.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu also became serious. "Dr. Shen, what are you worried about? Please speak freely."

Shen Hanmeng said, "The current situation of Wangjiang Watch is actually almost the same as the predicament faced by the Storm Defense Line before the bizarre apocalypse."

We are caught in the middle, with the horde of monstrous beasts from the black hole on one side and the supreme being of hell's treacherous ways on the other.

But back then, we failed. To prevent a large-scale collapse of the human world, we strategically abandoned the bizarre apocalypse and concentrated all our forces on defending the seven black holes.

According to Chief Night, the seven black holes barely held on.

However, if it weren't for your help, Mr. Chen, the black hole would probably have started to slowly collapse by now.

Chen Mu muttered to himself, "Dude, you're seriously underestimating your teammates. Based on my experience from my past life, they should be able to hold out for four or five years."

Shen Hanmeng continued, "Wangjiang Shouwang is currently facing the same predicament. In fact, their current predicament is even more dangerous."

The horde of monsters from the black hole is growing ever larger. The 'Flood of the Four Directions' has appeared, and you speculate that the 'Great Flood' is about to recur; I largely agree with your prediction.

This is a crisis that even before the bizarre apocalypse, the Stormline had not faced.

Speaking of the "Great Flood," Chen Mu was actually quite curious to know whether the "Great Flood" had actually occurred in his previous life.

In my previous life, I barely survived for five years. Now, this bizarre apocalypse has only lasted two or three years.

If a "Great Flood" is coming, then in terms of the timeline, was the "Great Flood" also about to arrive at this time in the previous life?

However, at that time, he was completely unaware of the existence of the "Great Flood".

Could it be that the seven chiefs of the previous life solved the desperate situation of the "Great Flood"?

That's not right...

If that were the case, the last "flood from all directions" wouldn't have been so difficult to fight, and we almost suffered a total annihilation.

In my previous life, I don't think I was aware of the "flood from all directions".

Could it be that my rebirth disrupted part of the timeline?

Chen Mu felt that the latter made more sense.

Rather than believing that the Chief could stop the "Great Flood," Chen Mu was more inclined to believe that the timeline had already partially changed due to his rebirth.

At least in his previous life, none of the ten items of the Supreme Demonic Path had been collected. The Demonic Gate, which accompanied the tide of demonic beasts, was not frequently entered.

From the moment of my rebirth, everything has been quietly changing...

Chen Mu said, "Dr. Shen, we can actually be more optimistic. At least this time, we have a lot more powerful people helping us, including myself and my friends. Oh, and there's also the potential ally, 'Lake of Fallen Gods'."

"The Lake of Fallen Gods?" Shen Hanmeng was stunned, not understanding what Chen Mu was talking about.

Chen Mu looked at Ye Changsheng, "Didn't you tell Dr. Shen about this?"

Ye Changsheng slapped his forehead. "Oh, I forgot. There were too many things to say, I forgot about this."

Chen Mu looked at Ye Changsheng with a half-smile.

Ye Changsheng forgot? How could that be? The Lake of Fallen Gods is such an important place, would Ye Changsheng forget about it when analyzing the situation?

The real reason is that Ye Changsheng couldn't grasp the situation, so he didn't reveal it!

Chen Mu was actually quite satisfied, because this meant that Ye Changsheng had begun to regard Wangjiang Watch as his current organization.

In Ye Changsheng's mind, the priority of Wangjiang Watch was higher than that of the Storm Defense Line.

Therefore, Ye Changsheng selectively revealed information to Shen Hanmeng of the Storm Defense Line, while selectively withholding information about the more important but uncertain Lake of Godfall from Shen Hanmeng.

As for whether or not to tell Shen Hanmeng, that's a decision for Boss Chen to make.

When Chen Mu asked, he could answer with "I forgot." At least in front of Shen Hanmeng, he wouldn't embarrass her.

Ye Changsheng does possess that much emotional intelligence.

Chen Mu briefly explained the matter of the Lake of Fallen Gods to Shen Hanmeng.

After a moment's thought, Shen Hanmeng nodded, "Indeed, this Lake of Fallen Gods is also a variable."

However, overall, the predicament faced by Wangjiang Shouwang is essentially the same as that faced by the Storm Defense Line.

And Mr. Chen, you probably don't have any better solutions, do you?

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu sighed.

To be honest, he really didn't have any good methods.

Or rather, he didn't have any reliable solutions.

What he can rely on is his current strength, the unity of the team, the fragments of hell, and the godlike reward from the Ghost Gate.

However, none of these things are 100% safe.

Once the fragments of Hell are gathered, what will the Supreme Being of the Demonic Path do? Can I handle it?

And the final twist of fate, will I be able to achieve godlike status...?

Taking all of this into account, if we analyze it from the most pessimistic perspective—the Hell Fragments had the opposite effect, and the Ghost Gate didn't even get ten Godlike moments.

So what Shen Hanmeng said is indeed true.

The current Wangjiang Watch, like the storm defense line a few years ago, is indeed at the same critical juncture and faces the same difficult choices.

The storm defense line failed; can the watchful eye on the river succeed?

Is this an unsolvable deadlock, or is there a way to break it?

Chen Mu said, "Dr. Shen, what you said makes a lot of sense. So, do you have any good suggestions?"

Shen Hanmeng said, "I can't say my opinion is good; it's just my idea."

Moreover, implementing this idea will take time. With time so tight right now, we can only say the sooner the better, but whether it will succeed is still unknown.

That's why I'm so eager to see you.

Mr. Chen, if I may be frank, the solution I propose may be unexpected by both of you.

This is by no means a sign of weakness, nor is it something I came up with on a whim.

In the cramped survival pod, I sat there quietly by myself, and I had plenty of time to carefully review and reflect on the situation.

Faced with this situation, what should Stormline do?

This answer can also be applied to the current situation of Wangjiang Shouwang.

The answer is—we need to escape.

These words, especially the last one, "We need to escape," were particularly striking.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu and Ye Changsheng exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt and disbelief.

"Run away? What do you mean?" Ye Changsheng couldn't help but ask.

Shen Hanmeng was not surprised; Chen Mu and the other person's reactions were exactly what he expected.
