Escape in the interstellar game world

Chapter 12 Cooperation
Zhou Tang finished delivering the meals amidst the complaints of the crew members and carried the barrel to the bottom cage.

First, he whispered a few words to Uncle Mike who was guarding outside, and then Mike directly opened the door of the cage and took Cheng Mu out and handed it to her. Mike lifted the barrel and distributed the meals.

Zhou Tang said without pretense, "The guards around the baron, come with me."

Cheng Mu straightened his back and walked out under the surprised looks of Xiaoxing and his wife, Harry's worried look, and the baron's expressionless expression.

Zhou Tang motioned for him to keep up.

Soon, the two came to a small cabin.

The cabin seemed to have been deserted for a long time, and was dusty and dark.

Zhou Tang used the faint light to look up and down Cheng Mu's handsome face, and finally looked directly at him and said, "What do you want to tell me?"

A smile appeared on Cheng Mu's lips, "Let's cooperate, you and me."

"I am a player, and I also know that you are not from here. You should be a bug fixer hired outside the game. The fixer's job is to remove bugs that appear in the copy or troubleshoot suspicious ones.

And I guess you haven't found it yet. "

Zhou Tang's expression slowly became solemn. She crossed her arms and asked, "Oh? You are already in a cage. How can you cooperate with me?"

Old God Cheng Mu said, "If it doesn't go as I expected, the so-called bug in the game copy will appear in the cage."

Zhou Tang was not surprised at all, and even felt like the dust had settled.

Likewise, Cheng Mu was not surprised to see that Zhou Tang's eyes did not change. After all, if the collaborator was strong in ability and perseverance, he would also benefit from it.

Zhou Tang only said, "Tell me why you say that the Baron pays too much attention to those slaves."

Cheng Mu has always adhered to the principle of "don't use people you doubt and don't doubt people you employ". Since he sincerely wants to cooperate with the young boy, he shouldn't shirk or hide anything.

Besides, he felt that the Baron was like a bomb that could be detonated at any time, and...

Let’s not mention his purpose for playing this game.

In a deep voice, Cheng Mu told Zhou Tang everything about the baron's actions he saw at night, including the strange dark red light that flashed past.

Zhou Tang's brows furrowed slightly. She listened to Cheng Mu talking about the dark red light and thought she had fallen into some fantasy story.

But he didn't question it because he thought it was too strange that Cheng Mu had seen it wrong.

Cheng Mu said, "The injuries on the Baron were caused by you. Because he was a noble, you took the opportunity to spare his life, but he was only alive.

There are no powerful special medicines on this ship that can make his body recover quickly. They can only barely ensure that his injuries do not worsen.

It can be seen that the slaves did something to help his body recover a little.

And I specifically tested the Baron this morning. I think the Baron is not a player, and we have all been fooled by him. "

Zhou Tang's distrustful eyes, or the eyes that looked at fools, made Cheng Mu's handsome face turn red.

Who would have thought that this copy of the game was so unreasonable. They did ignore the abnormality in the Baron, and Yu Chi also paid a heavy price for it.

Cheng Mu perked up, "I guess from the moment the Baron stepped into the pirate ship, his target was the group of slaves, or that group of slaves had what he wanted.

But this goal cannot be known to anyone, so he uses roundabout ways to successfully reach the slaves. "

Seeing Cheng Mu's honesty, Zhou Tang told him everything she had heard from the crew about the origin of the slaves.

"I think the ordinary crew members don't know the real purpose of robbing these slaves." The tired look of the captain flashed before Zhou Tang's eyes. "Perhaps they only received the mission, but don't know the cause and effect." She changed her voice and said, " There is also bad news. After the storm, the ship still has not found its route." She took out the water compass from her body and handed it to Cheng Mu.

Cheng Mu stretched out his hand to take it, and the pointer on the water compass was flying everywhere, it was extremely confusing!It also foreshadows the current situation on this pirate ship.

"It's not just a problem with the water compass, it was cloudy last night and there was heavy fog this morning."

The three elements worked together to block the pirate ship's path.

Cheng Mu frowned, held the compass tightly in his hand, and boldly guessed, "What if all this has something to do with the baron and the slaves?"

Zhou Tang imagined the flash of dark red light and decided to find out. Would it really turn into a fantasy story? !
The two put down their burdens and had a frank discussion with each other.

"The guards beside the baron..." Zhou Tang only remembered at this moment that she didn't know the name of the person in front of her.

"My name is Cheng Mu." He said in a friendly voice.

"Zhou Tang." She also announced her name, "You will keep an eye on the baron and the group of slaves inside for now, and I will think of a way to find out more about the group of slaves from the captain's mouth outside. Wait until In the evening I would sneak into the prison and check it out."

Zhou Tang?

Before Cheng Mu nodded, there was a knock on the door, "Little Amy!"

Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu looked at each other to finalize the matter. She stepped forward and opened the hatch, "Uncle Mike."

Mike's eyes fell on Cheng Mu behind her, intentionally or unintentionally, "You guys haven't come out for so long, I thought something happened to you."

"How could it be?" Zhou Tang said with a silly smile, "Theseus and Uncle Bell said that Uncle Cheng Mu was a good man. Uncle Cheng Mu has already finished eating here, so as not to attract complaints and jealousy from those people."

Cheng Mu was not only given a good guy card, but was also promoted to uncle.

He stared silently at the young boy's thin shoulders and messy hair.

Uncle is uncle.

Mike nodded and said, "It's time for him to go back. Just bring more food, but you can't disobey the deputy captain's order."

Zhou Tang nodded obediently, and quietly stuffed two hard biscuits into Cheng Mu's hand to prevent him from really being hungry.

Cheng Mu was thrown into the cage by Mike again, and Zhou Tang left the bottom of the ship carrying the empty barrel.

The lady breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw Cheng Mu return safe and sound.

Xiaoxing asked directly, "Where is that boy taking you?" She was rarely concerned, "He didn't do anything to you, right?"

Cheng Mu shook his head. He did not reveal to these players that he had discovered something unusual, not to mention that they were surrounded by barons and slaves who were eyeing them.

He took out the hard biscuits and gnawed them.

Xiaoxing was a little dissatisfied that he kept silent, and turned to attack others, "These people are so vicious, they dare to abuse us like this, even halving the amount of hard biscuits and water! Do they have no food or something? They deliberately torture us .”

Harry said angrily, "Maybe they really ran out of food, so they acted frugally."

Cheng Mu had no intention of telling the story about the pirate ship getting lost, so as not to cause unnecessary panic and make impulsive decisions.

However, the Baron seemed not to miss this opportunity, and said in a weak voice, "If we follow the expected route, we should be able to dock at this time, but we are still floating on the sea until now, and naturally there is not enough food."
