Chapter 931: Chapter 931 Gathering People

After returning to her room, Bai Youwei couldn’t experience what it was like to “not leave the bed,” as she fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Her sleep was deep, as if to make up for the tense 30 hours spent in Werewolf Village.

Shen Mo sat by the bed, lightly brushed the hair off her cheek, leaned in for a kiss, then lay down beside her and also fell asleep.

…

The next day, the research group delivered something, an analysis report on Wang Jingxian’s whereabouts.

After reading the report, Bai Youwei was lost in thought for a long time.

Shen Mo took a look at it and also didn’t speak for a while.

The content of the document showed that after repeated verification and comparison of the architectural environment, Wang Jingxian was very likely in Mudanjiang City, a prefecture-level city in Heilongjiang Province, also known as “Snow City.”

That in itself wasn’t the issue. The problem was that during that time period, the snowfall in Mudanjiang was not enough to form a landscape of extensive coverage.

In other words, the scene Bai Youwei saw in the crystal shard was both Mudanjiang and not Mudanjiang.

The two of them sat in the room for a while, and Shen Mo asked Bai Youwei, “Do you still remember hide and seek?”

“Hmm.” Bai Youwei sighed softly, “I remember, in the amusement park.”

Shen Mo said, “That amusement park perfectly replicated the real environment, but with slight differences.”

Bai Youwei knew what Shen Mo meant.

She glanced at him and said softly, “Are you saying that my mom is now in the game?”

“It has not been occupied by any King, so her existence in the game is not impossible,” Shen Mo stated. “Besides that, I can’t think of any other reason to explain why the investigation results differ from what we saw.”

Bai Youwei remained silent.

Shen Mo added, “Of course, the investigation results might not be accurate. Maybe Mudanjiang has undergone drastic changes. Without going there to see for ourselves, no one knows what the truth is.”

Bai Youwei furrowed her brow, “You want me to go see her?”

Her tone was very reluctant.

Although there was no deep hatred between her mother and herself, their relationship had always been cold. It was normal for the two to hardly meet more than a few times a month, and even when they did, they hardly exchanged words.

For Bai Youwei to proactively investigate her mother’s whereabouts was already remarkable. If she had to risk her life to bring her back, she truly couldn’t persuade herself to do it. Besides, if her mother really were in the game, even if she went, she might not be able to meet her.

“Now is indeed not the right time,” Shen Mo said. “Let’s adjust our state first and prepare for the next battle.”

Bai Youwei nodded.

Anyway, judging by the situation in the crystal shard, her mother was not in danger. Therefore, it was better to take care of her own affairs first.

…

The following days were as usual.

Besides the King, Battle 5 required 4 citizens. Bai Youwei’s side only had Shen Mo, Tan Xiao, and Asarina, lacking one more.

She promised Asarina not to let Along risk himself anymore, while Ya Chaohui had left the base, Chang Weicai and Pan Xiaoxin, one too old and the other too young, were not suitable to join the battle.

Shen Mo was looking for candidates for her within the base.

Meanwhile, Du Lai was also recruiting people inside the base.

For Fu Miaoxue’s next battle, which was Battle 20, at least 10 participants were required. Currently, her citizens only included Du Lai, Leonid, Chen Hui, and Yan Qingwen. The gap in the number of citizens was considerable. Moreover, Fu Miaoxue had previously stated her intention to surrender, so suddenly they couldn’t gather enough people.

However, Du Lai always had plenty of ideas and Bai Youwei didn’t need to worry about them.

It was expected that once they gathered enough people, they could start training soon to enhance team synergy and such arrangements, but after a few days, the person Shen Mo selected refused to join them.

After that, Shen Mo invited several more people, but without exception, they all refused them.

On the other hand, Fu Miaoxue and Du Lai quickly gathered their people.
