Zhu Lai did not speak, he was observing Lin Yi.

On the surface, he looked at Lin Yi, but his eyes secretly glanced at Lin Yi's right hand.

Lin Yi's middle finger did not move, but even so, Zhu Lai was still not sure, after all, this was just a subconscious habit, if you pay more attention, you can deliberately avoid it.

Zhu Lai did not directly tell Lin Yi what to do, because he was waiting, waiting for Lin Yi to ask.

If Lin Yi spoke, it meant that they had not found a way to leave here at all.

In this way, if Lin Yi and his friends wanted to leave this underground world, they would have to rely on Zhu Lai's help.

Zhu Lai had the initiative, and he could order Lin Yi and his friends to do anything at will.

Even if these things would threaten the lives of Lin Yi and his friends, they had to do it, after all, this was the only way for them to leave here.

The wooden house fell into a brief silence, which made Lin Yi more certain that Zhu Lai in front of him was more cunning than he thought.

This guy was a person who could sacrifice others to achieve his goals. If the stalemate continued, Zhu Lai would inevitably see the clues.

In order to avoid this situation, Lin Yi stood up.

"It's getting late. I have to hurry up and leave here." Lin Yi walked towards the gate. "Since we have seen each other for the last time, I should leave too. My friends are still waiting for me."

"Let me call you brother for the last time. I heard the conversation of the guards before. Your situation in the village doesn't seem as good as I thought. But maybe I think too much. Finally, I wish you good luck, my brother."

"Goodbye."

Lin Yi's figure gradually disappeared. At this moment, Zhu Lai finally couldn't sit still.

He frowned and gritted his teeth until Lin Yi's figure was about to disappear completely. He stood up hurriedly, and even his tone of voice became hurried: "Lin Yi, wait a minute!"

"We can discuss it again. I can... I can..."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Lai seemed to think of something that could be used as a bargaining chip: "I can save you!"

"You ate the fruits given to you by the villagers. There are parasites in those fruits put by the villagers. If you leave them alone, after a while, you will..."

What will happen?

Zhu Lai stopped talking halfway.

He seemed to realize something and looked up at the gate.

"Sorry, we haven't eaten the food in the village at all." Lin Yi's voice sounded from the gate.

Zhu Lai guessed that after entering the village, the caution shown by Lin Yi and his group had already shown that they would not easily trust others, even if Zhu Lai was his own brother.

Lin Yi had suffered too many losses, because he easily trusted others, he died again and again.

In order to avoid this situation from happening again, coupled with the addition of partners, this simple trap is almost ineffective for them.

Zhu Lai was unwilling to believe it and said, "But the food that the villagers gave you, the fruits are obviously gone."

"It was taken away by A Shu." Lin Yi said truthfully.

"A... A Shu?"

"Why did he do this?" Zhu Lai asked.

"You have to ask A Shu about this matter." Zhu Lai's words disappointed Lin Yi, and Lin Yi heard disappointment from his tone.

That's right, if Lin Yi and his group ate those fruits, perhaps the current situation would be different.

Lin Yi didn't know what those spiders were, but if the villagers put them in on purpose, then these insects might be a poisonous insect, or other means of controlling outsiders.

"Are you done?" Lin Yi said, "It's not good to keep my friends waiting, so goodbye."

The wooden door slowly opened, and Zhu Lai became more and more anxious.

He couldn't think of any other way for a while, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Lin Yi, please... please help me, please!"

The wooden door closed again, and the room was quiet. Lin Yi seemed to have left.

Zhu Lai raised his head and his eyes became blank.

His body trembled a little, as if he had run an extremely long marathon, as if he had used up all his strength to support the table so that he would not fall down.

After a while, Lin Yi's voice came out from in front of the wooden door.

"It's not that I can't help you."

Lin Yi didn't leave. He kept observing Zhu Lai, thinking to himself that Zhang Cheng's method was indeed effective.

Before coming here, Zhang Cheng specifically told him that if the situation becomes deadlocked, he must give up decisively.

Of course, the "give up" in Zhang Cheng's mouth is not "give up" in the true sense.

It's the same as buying things from vendors. Instead of talking to the seller, it's better to turn around and pretend that you are not interested in the things you want to buy, and prepare to give up the goods and leave.

At this time, Zhu Lai is just like the seller. Seeing that Lin Yi is leaving and the things can't be sold, he is the one who should be anxious.

Once he opens his mouth to keep him, it means that he has lost the initiative.

And at this time, Lin Yi can make a request.

"Since we are brothers, I can help you." Lin Yi's figure reappeared.

Zhu Lai raised his head and saw Lin Yi at the moment, as if he saw hope.

"But, you also know that I didn't come here alone. I must be responsible for my friends." Lin Yi continued.

"I can't let them follow me in danger because of personal feelings."

"So..." Lin paused.

"So what?" Zhu Lai asked hastily.

"I have to ask for their opinions."

Zhu Lai had no reason to refuse, and he couldn't refuse.

Judging from his reaction just now, the matter that Zhu Lai wanted Lin Yi to help was extremely important to him, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so disappointed when he mistakenly thought Lin Yi was leaving.

Soon, the wooden door opened again, and this time, Zhou Kai and others all came in.

"Lin Yi, what do you mean?" After Zhang Cheng's figure appeared, he frowned and stared at Lin Yi, seeming quite angry.

"You promised us that you would just come over to say hello, and we would leave immediately after that, but now you say you want to stay and help him, what do you mean?"

"Is your brother's help more important than our lives?" Zhou Kai rushed to Lin Yi and grabbed his collar.

This scene was discussed in advance by Lin Yi and others.

In order to make Zhu Lai believe that they really have a way to leave and take the absolute initiative, they must pretend to oppose Lin Yi's request for help.

That's why Zhang Chengcai looked very angry.

However, Zhou Kai's move was not in their plan.

Of course, it didn't affect their plan at all.

Lin Yi felt that Zhou Kai's words sounded familiar, and he seemed to have said something similar to Zhou Kai before.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a vengeful guy.
