My own war game

Chapter 54 Misunderstanding
The kerosene lamp was lifted up, and the light illuminated the steps at the entrance that were covered with green moss. However, after a distance of more than ten meters, the space inside became dark again. The deep tunnel was like an open beast's mouth, which was a bit creepy.

"It's so dark, where does it lead to?" asked Margaret, holding a kerosene lamp.

"This was discovered this morning. It might be like what Christine said before, a secret passage left by the owner of the manor for an affair." He Chi explained.

About two days ago, when he was using 3D vision in a battle, he accidentally discovered that this manor had a special underground space. After groping around, he finally found this hidden entrance this morning.

"Does this mean we can leave from here?" Margaret asked uncertainly.

"Okay, but it's a bit risky." He Chi patted the entrance of the passage, and a cold wind blew out.
He Chi took out a hand-drawn map of the surrounding area and said, "We don't know how deep this secret passage is, and whether it can be used at present. Even if it can be used, we don't know where the exit is. This means that we may get out of the German-controlled area, and at that time we will have no buildings to provide cover, and we will become sitting ducks."

He Chi was not lying. He did not have many resources and his copper coins were almost gone. He could only see the front half of the secret passage with his 3D vision.

"Tsk, does that mean we need to bet on a coin? The location of the exit represents the positive and negative sides. It could be the door home, or it could be the entrance to the cemetery." Lieutenant Jason spat.

"Right, so this is a dangerous decision. The worst possibility is that we are stuck in the passage and become rats in a bag." He Chi nodded. "Then, let's discuss it. Do you want to leave?"

…………

After all, it was a choice about life and death. For five minutes, no one spoke. Finally, Camille raised her hand and said softly, "I, I still want to try..."

Someone started the conversation, then the second and third hands were raised, and finally everyone raised their hands, and everyone unanimously decided to leave.

After all, today's battle has had a huge impact on everyone. Even if it means death, no one wants to choose such a tragic death as being poisoned by poison gas.

"Then let's leave together. Everyone should pack their equipment tonight and set off at dawn tomorrow. Everyone should have a good rest and ensure that they are in the best condition by then." He Chi finally made a decision.

Because it was the last night, everyone took out the remaining supplies. Hard cheese, bread and smoked fish were all placed on the table. Camille took out the lactose she had hidden earlier and shared it with everyone, while Lieutenant Jason picked up the bottle of whiskey again.

Under the cover of night, amidst the rumbling of artillery fire, people who don't know if they can survive tomorrow are enjoying their last little indulgence.

He Chi was surprisingly quiet in the crowd. After eating a little dinner, he leaned against the wall and took a nap alone.

There was a rustling sound next to my ears, and someone sat down next to me.

He Chi opened his eyes and found Christine sitting next to him. All of her stockings had been used as strategic supplies, and now she could only use her skirt to cover her smooth calves.

"Here, it's for you." The blonde girl handed something over. He Chi took it and found that it was half a box of British Black Cat cigarettes.

"Where did it come from?" He Chi asked in surprise. He didn't expect that the girl could get tobacco at this time.

"Shh~" Christine placed her slender index finger on her thin lips and closed one eye. "A lady's little secret, keep it a secret for me."

He Chi lit the cigarette with a match and exhaled a cloud of smoke comfortably. He was also a smoker and had been having a hard time holding back his cravings for cigarettes during this period.

But the other party did something that surprised He Chi. The blonde girl picked up a cigarette with her fingers and lowered her head. The two tobaccos touched each other. Christine bent down and moved her sexy lips slightly, and a little spark lit up in the darkness again.

"Sometimes I have to stay up late to write, so I smoke a few cigarettes." The girl raised the cigarette in her hand and exhaled smoke. He Chi realized that the cigarette was Christine's. "He, you still owe me an interview? Remember?" Christine hugged her knees and tilted her head to look at the Oriental man.

"Remember, you mean now?"

"Just a few questions. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?" Christine pulled out her shorthand notebook from somewhere.

"Okay then, it will be over in a moment." He Chi changed his posture and faced Christine. He didn't know why the girl was so persistent in the interview.

“Then I asked” Christine picked up the shorthand book and stared into He Chi’s eyes, the expression on her face became serious.

"Why do you plan to stay here by yourself?"

"because…"

? ? ? ! ! !
He Chi suddenly looked up at Christine. He couldn't imagine how the other party guessed what he was thinking.

That’s right, He Chi himself had no plan to leave. The task given to him by the system was to prevent the German army from completely occupying Rose Manor before the 14th, so he needed to wait until the end to complete the task.

If it were the He Chi of the past, he would definitely drag everyone to fight until the last moment, and then wait until midnight on the 14th and disappear without a trace.

But if that happens, the German army equipped with chemical weapons will turn this place into the cruelest battlefield, and it will be almost impossible for the remaining people to survive until the end of the war after I leave.

In other words, if left alone, everyone, including Christine, will die.

So he changed his mind. He wanted to have everyone in the manor leave the day before the mission expired. Although there would still be certain risks, it was better than staying here and waiting for the chemical weapons explosion.

The price was that he had to stay alone on the last day.

He had never told anyone about this, so how did the female reporter in front of him know about it?
"He, you spoke very strangely during the day. When you mentioned leaving, you used the word 'you guys' instead of 'we'."

"You told Jason and Groot a lot of things, as if you were about to separate from everyone. The most important thing is that I found that you left behind some ammunition and weapons..."

Christine took a deep breath.
"He, can you tell me why?"

He Chi was speechless. He never expected that the female reporter, whom he had previously treated as a vase, would be so perceptive.

"You guessed right, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you the reason." Unable to deny it, He Chi simply chose to lie down and admit it.

"Well, I know you have your position, and I understand." Christine suddenly said something incomprehensible.

"My position? What do you mean? I'm not..." He Chi was about to say something but Kristine pressed his lips with her fingers.

"No need to explain, I know." She looked at He Chi with sharp eyes. "Is it because of those poison gas bombs?"

ha? ! !
