Chapter 1457 Escaping the Courtyard
Chen Mu was suddenly startled. He finally understood why the woman receiving the package was so afraid.
The woman who received the package is most likely a "big shot"! She hid under the wardrobe, trembling with fear.
The bald man then discovered her location!
When the woman receiving the package looked outside, in addition to seeing Chen Mu and the other person, she also saw and recognized the bald man's boots.
This is why the woman receiving the package was suddenly so terrified!
Just then, Chen Mu suddenly heard Xiao Ye's startled cry from a corner further away in the cellar: "Boss! Watch out!"
Xiaoye has arrived too?
Chen Mu reacted very quickly; he immediately covered his head and rolled to the left.
Although this posture doesn't look very elegant, giving the impression of someone fleeing for their life in a panic.
However, Chen Mu knew that in bizarre missions, the most important thing was to survive!
Using this posture, you can roll away as quickly as possible and escape the bald man's attack range.
While Chen Mu rolled away to dodge, Lin Shanshan, who was also lying on the ground, hadn't even reacted yet.
In Lin Shanshan's mind, she had already completed the mission of delivering the letter and could breathe a sigh of relief.
Chen Mu lay down just like her, but in a short time, the mental activity in Chen Mu's mind had already left Lin Shanshan far behind.
That's why, one second the two were lying on the straw, and the next second Chen Mu had already rolled away.
When Xiao Ye shouted, Chen Mu didn't even turn around before immediately rolling away to avoid it.
Lin Shanshan turned around at the sound and immediately saw the bald man behind her.
Upon seeing the bald man, Lin Shanshan froze for a moment, then suddenly screamed.
"what!!!!!"
The piercing scream immediately echoed throughout the entire cellar.
Lin Shanshan was clearly terrified; all she could do was scream on the spot without moving an inch.
This is perfectly normal for someone entering a creepy scene for the first time.
The bald man held a gleaming boning knife in his hand.
The blade was sharpened to an exceptionally fine point, its gleaming edge sending chills down one's spine.
If the bald man makes a move now, Lin Shanshan will definitely not be able to escape!
Chen Mu saw that the bald man had a fierce look on his face, and the faint light shining on his face made him look sinister with a terrifying smile.
"Boss! Run!"
Xiao Ye's voice reached Chen Mu's ears.
Xiao Ye moved quickly; in just a few seconds, he had already run to Chen Mu's side in the dark.
At this moment, Xiaoye helped Chen Mu up and pulled him towards the depths of the cellar.
“Boss, there’s a hidden entrance over there,” Xiaoye said.
It must be said that Xiaoye did not let anyone down at crucial moments.
Lin Shanshan's legs trembled. She backed away step by step, instinctively wanting to get away from the bald man.
However, after taking two steps back, she bumped into the wardrobe, which blocked her escape route.
Lin Shanshan thought that her life was going to end here today.
Given the current situation, she had already missed her best chance to escape. She definitely couldn't afford to confront the bald man head-on.
All she can do now is leave it to fate!
However, the bald man's actions once again surprised Lin Shanshan!
The bald man carrying the knife didn't stab Lin Shanshan. Instead, he reached out and, as if throwing away trash, lifted Lin Shanshan up and tossed her onto the grass nearby.
"This is none of your business. You can leave now."
The bald man's words surprised the players present.
The next second, the bald man kicked over the wardrobe.
The heavy red and black wardrobe crashed down onto the haystack, and the woman who had been hiding underneath immediately appeared in front of the bald man.
The woman who received the package was still holding the letter that Lin Shanshan had given her.
However, under these circumstances, the woman receiving the package clearly had neither the inclination nor the opportunity to open the letter.
The bald man, carrying a boning knife, walked step by step toward the slumped woman receiving the package, his eyes revealing greed and joy. "What a fat cow! The steaks made from it must smell amazing."
At this moment, Lin Shanshan, who was terrified, only felt someone tugging at her clothes.
She turned around and saw Chen Mu's calm figure behind her.
"Hurry up and leave!" Chen Mu only said these three words before quickly leaving with Xiao Ye.
Because Chen Mu was going the same way, he happened to pass behind Lin Shanshan.
Although the relationships between players in the bizarre quests aren't exactly brotherly or fraternal, most people would still readily lend a helping hand—as long as the other person hasn't offended them.
Clearly, Lin Shanshan hadn't offended Chen Mu. So Chen Mu casually reminded her to hurry up and leave.
Reminded by Chen Mu, Lin Shanshan quickly realized what was going on.
She immediately scrambled to catch up with Chen Mu and Xiao Ye.
Led by Xiaoye, the three arrived at a secluded spot in the cellar, a place piled with straw.
As Xiaoye pushed aside the straw, a hidden exit was revealed.
"Boss, let's go! There's a hidden exit here," Xiaoye said.
Hong Wenli, on the other hand, anxiously looked inside from outside the exit.
The three of them moved nimbly and quickly climbed out of the cellar through the exit.
The moment Chen Mu left the cellar, he breathed in the long-lost fresh air again.
The murky, foul smell in the cellar was replaced by the fresh evening breeze.
Chen Mu took two deep breaths and looked around. This was the courtyard of the wooden house, the place where the players had just entered.
No one knew that there was actually an entrance hidden here that led directly to the depths of the cellar.
"How did you two find it? This entrance is so well hidden, it must have been hard to find," Chen Mu asked, somewhat surprised.
Chen Mu also wanted to know why the bald man, who was eating steak at the table, suddenly appeared behind him and Lin Shanshan.
Why didn't Xiaoye and Hongwenli give them a heads-up beforehand?
"Boss, let's run first, I'll tell you on the way," Xiao Ye said.
Chen Mu nodded. The mission of delivering the letter was now complete, and the bald man's attention was being drawn to the woman who was to receive it.
This brief period is the perfect time for players to escape.
Without further ado, the four of them went to the wooden gate of the courtyard.
Compared to the time-consuming and laborious process of climbing over walls, the latch is now inserted behind the door, and the wooden door can be easily opened with just a gentle push.
Chen Mu stepped forward, pushed open the latch, and opened the wooden door.
The players filed out, fleeing the yard of the cabin one by one.
As the players left, Chen Mu and the others heard a woman's painful scream coming from the cellar.
The screams echoed in everyone's ears throughout the night, causing each person to involuntarily shiver.
Everyone knew that the bald man with the knife had already made his move.
