Salted Fish Zombie

Chapter 41

The garden was silent, and the silence lasted for a while.

Zhu Shuangshuang's face turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Ji Mingrui asked her, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know either, I just suddenly felt very anxious," she said, bending slightly and clutching her chest. "I'm having trouble breathing."

Ning Su blinked, his once silent eyes regained vitality as he looked at the ghost friends in the garden.

At that moment, they were all hiding behind the players, looking scared.

Meng Jiang thought that Zhu Shuangshuang must have been frightened by seeing someone melting into a sheet of skin, so he said, "Let's go upstairs."

In the garden, the strong scent of flowers mixed with the stench of human flesh, creating a more stomach-turning smell than a mere foul odor, further intensifying the oppressive atmosphere. It was really not suitable to stay there for long.

The four of them went upstairs.

In room 407, Ji Mingrui poured a cup of hot water for Zhu Shuangshuang.

This room had become their gathering, discussion, and observation place. Zhu Shuangshuang sat on the rocking chair on the balcony, watching the scene below, still feeling uncomfortable.

She said, "Shouldn't we have told Zhu Ji that the slime ghost friend can leave as soon as we found out about it yesterday?"

"If we had told him, wouldn't he have been saved?"

"Did we make a mistake?"

When faced with a severe and stimulating event, some people would attribute the mistake to others, while others would shoulder the blame and feel guilty.

Meng Jiang didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only superficially say, "Zhu Ji also knew that the slime ghost friend could leave. Surely there are others in the garden who know, but you were the only one who stood up and told him. You've done well, it's his own fault for not listening."

This straightforward comfort didn't make Zhu Shuangshuang feel much better.

She looked at Ning Su and asked, "Susu, do you think we should have told him yesterday?"

Yesterday when she asked whether to tell Zhu Ji or not, Ning Su didn't express an opinion, like many times before.

Zhu Shuangshuang knew that he was like this, but this time, she really wanted to hear his opinion.

She only wanted to hear Ning Su's opinion, as he was the only one who could put her at ease.

Ning Su: "Don't tell."

"Revealing the key to a predicament filled with possibilities to someone who has no means of self-preservation is not a good idea."

Ji Mingrui continued from his words, "Yes, we only know that the slime ghost friend can get out, but we don't know if he can take others out. If we had mentioned it at that time, the slime ghost friend would have faced more than just the pressure from one player."

"His death wasn't due to physical injury. Don't dwell on it. Instead of continuing to think about this matter, let's think about how to escape and how to deal with the opening of the window tomorrow night."

Zhu Shuangshuang murmured in agreement and glanced at Ning Su again.

Being sensitive, she faintly felt that something was off with Ning Su's state.

A person's choices and judgments were often based on past experiences.

Was his confident answer a result of experiencing something similar?
