Chapter 224 - 218: Run Fast!
"How could you do such a thing..." Before Shen Mochen could speak, Xia Qingrou approached him with tears in her eyes and grabbed his collar, "How could you do such a thing!"
She looked so sad, with an anger of being betrayed. From her perspective, her anger was completely justified.
Two days ago, the boyfriend she had given her first time to was a pervert who stole someone else's underwear. Any girl would feel deep anger and shame.
At this moment, all eyes were on Shen Mochen; the culprit was unmistakably him, and there couldn't possibly be another.
From a statistical point of view, there was indeed a possibility that someone had framed him maliciously, but in reality, this was almost impossible.
Liu Chaoyan and Shen Mochen had nothing against each other, they could even be considered friends, so she had no motive. Plus, her disposition was calm and gentle, skilled in dealing with people, and all members of the squad trusted her. No one would believe she would do this. Besides, as the squad leader, no one was more eager to maintain the stability of the squad than Liu Chaoyan.
Xia Qingrou was Shen Mochen's girlfriend; everyone saw how co-dependent they were every day. She loved Shen Mochen the most out of everyone, so she was the least likely. Moreover, Xia Qingrou and Shen Mochen had been up for most of the night two nights ago, something Xiao Xingshuang didn't know, but Liu Chaoyan and Han Muxue did, so it was even less likely for Xia Qingrou.
Theoretically, Xiao Xingshuang could have staged it herself, but the possibility was also low. She had taken a vacation the next day and had just returned, and had no opportunity to enter Shen Mochen's room. Besides, she was about two or three months away from retirement; there was no need for her to stage this drama. She and Shen Mochen had no past grievances and it was their first meeting, so there was no motive.
Han Muxue seemed the most likely suspect, as she had never been particularly friendly towards Shen Mochen and had a bad temper. However, that was just her personality, and she was like that towards everyone, even particularly critical towards Xia Qingrou, who was her best relation, with no specific malice towards Shen Mochen. Moreover, her physical condition made it inconvenient for her to carry out such an act.
So it seemed like the criminal was indeed Shen Mochen.
Shen Mochen took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and smiled at Xia Qingrou, "Let's talk."
"What's there to talk about now, you scum..." Xia Qingrou trembled with anger, tears streaming down.
Shen Mochen opened his mouth but before he could speak, a shrill alarm sounded!
Everyone was startled; the beast disaster had arrived.
Liu Chaoyan immediately said, "Let's continue this discussion after we return, right now it's more important to deal with the beast disaster facing us."
Almost everyone present was an experienced warrior, and they knew the importance of priorities. They quickly equipped their radios and then took out amplifiers from the refrigeration layer of the fridge.
Once everything was ready, Liu Chaoyan put on her headlamp, ran outside, and flew towards the cracked area.
Han Muxue stopped Shen Mochen, who was preparing to move, "You don't need to go, I don't want to fight alongside you, it disgusts me! After we return this time, I'll report to the Constitutional Army and have you kicked out of our squad!"
Xia Qingrou glanced at Shen Mochen, silently lowered her head, and pushed Han Muxue toward the back garage.
Xiao Xingshuang also followed them out, with Han Muxue and Xia Qingrou getting into a pickup truck while Xiao Xingshuang rode a motorcycle.
Shen Mochen lay back on the sofa, looking upwards, as everyone left and the dormitory suddenly became eerily silent.
Indeed, misfortune relies on blessings, and blessings on misfortunes. Everything is fate, nothing is up to us.
Shen Mochen couldn't help but smirk, everything was fine, and suddenly he became the target of all.
"Pack your things, apply for a transfer tomorrow and leave on your own, then we won't report to the Constitutional Army. Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this for you, but because you are Cai Yuncui's brother, and I don't want to hurt her. I hope you can turn over a new leaf, with your looks, there's no need to sneak around doing those perverted things."
At that moment, Han Muxue's private communication came through the radio.
Didn't expect that flat-chested Loli to be quite nice, willing to let him off the hook. Normally she seemed to despise evil and was vengeful, but turned out to be kind-hearted at crucial moments.
If it wasn't for the criminal feeling guilty, then it truly was out of kindness.
If this matter was reported to the Constitutional Army, it probably wouldn't be easy to resolve, and it would also mark his record badly.
Shen Mochen chuckled to himself, unresponsive; he had already guessed who did it, and once they returned, it would be clear.
Since Han Muxue had told him not to go, Shen Mochen didn't. His presence was rather awkward at this moment, and going there would have only made them more uneasy.
Besides, today Xiao Xingshuang had also returned, Shen Mochen felt it was okay even if he didn't go. They should solve the current trouble first when they returned.
If possible, he really didn't want to have a falling out with her, but this joke had gone too far.
Shen Mochen thought to himself.
At that moment, he glanced at the red dot on the radio; the four of them had already assembled at the battlefield, and it seemed that the battle had begun.
Based on their previous experiences, they should have been able to resolve the battle in about 5 to 10 minutes, and with Xiao Xingshuang this time, it should have been even faster.
However, ten minutes later, the four were still fighting. Shen Mochen raised an eyebrow. Could it be that without him, their healing support, they were struggling so much?
Just then, a series of exclamations suddenly came through the public channel.
"Run! Run!" screamed Han Muxue over the intercom.
Her voice was filled with panic and despair, like a last testament before death.
It seemed she was speaking to her teammates present, but according to the intercom display, all four were gathered together, so there was no need to be so hysterical through the intercom.

So there was only one possibility, she was telling Shen Mochen to run!
Shen Mochen was instantly horrified, and then Liu Chaoyan's voice followed in the intercom:
"We've encountered an A-class monster, requesting support! Requesting support!"
Yet Han Muxue roared, "Don't come here, we can't win! Run! Run! Let the higher-ups handle this, you just run!"
Shen Mochen took a deep breath and immediately ran to the shed, mounting a motorcycle.
He knew where the nearest node exit from the dormitory was. Once he escaped through the node, like a fish in the sea, as long as his luck wasn't disastrously bad, surviving was still possible.
Not once, not twice, but he trusted he wouldn't be that unlucky tonight.
No one thought it was wrong for him to flee. There were taller people to handle when the sky fell, why should he risk his life for such a meager salary? Besides, he wasn't from the combat system.
He couldn't die yet, his life had just begun, and he still had Yin Caiyu to take care of.
That was what Shen Mochen thought, but as he stepped on the gas and ignited the motorcycle, roaring powerfully, it simply stayed in its place.
Should he really run? Should he really let them die? He thought of Yin Caiyu and those tough women. Was he supposed to let them die too?
Over the intercom, several seemed to start making their last statements.
Liu Chaoyan seemed to have given up on something, her tone gentle, "Shen, it's been an honor knowing you. Please apologize to Cai for me—I didn't take good care of team 0819."
Xia Qingrou, dragging her teary voice, "I'm sorry... Hurry up and run. This is beyond our level, just run!"
Han Muxue, "Xiao Xingshuang took an amplifier, we'll buy you a bit more time, don't..."
Shen Mochen listened to their last words, managing a grim smile. What a rotten night. Cai Yuncui had been at Buque for five years and had never encountered an A-class monster, yet here he was, encountering one just ten days into his stay. Was he really a jinx, doomed to bring bad luck to everyone?
Such good people indeed, despite seeing him as a skeevy man who stole other women's underwear while having a girlfriend, they still fought desperately to buy him time to escape.
The wind howled around him, and thunder roared remarkably, stirring the legendary elemental chaos. Shen Mochen could feel it even from a distance.
He dialed Fuzi's number, "Hey, Miss Freak, I have a question."
"Do you want me to put you through to your master?" Fuzi asked lazily, with what sounded like sheep bleating in the background.
"No, I just want to know, I heard that A-class monsters are the strongest. Can you beat them alone?"
Fuzi paused briefly, then answered seriously, "For the current me, if twenty or thirty of them came at once, it would indeed be a bit troublesome..."
Fuzi's words were not yet complete when Shen Mochen hung up the phone.
"Hmph, this rude man really isn't worthy of the master," Fuzi said.
...
"Please hold on for two more minutes, support is almost here!"
Shen Mochen casually threw his phone into the shed and said this over the intercom, then he blocked the public channel.
The motorcycle now had a direction, shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow.
What do you think?
