Strategy To Hold Out

Lin Mu assessed the crack and reckoned that this was perfect for this use.

"We have the right place. I'll expand it and allow for us to use it without other knowing it." Lin Mu spoke to the others.

"How long do you need, Brother Mu Lin?" Lu Xu asked.

"A few hours." Lin Mu replied.

"Very well, we have more than enough time. I don't think we have anyone near here anyways." Lu Xu stated.

"It is best we keep an eye out and remove all those that approach." Ming Dandan added, her tone a bit more fierce than normal.

"Are you fighting someone?" Ming Aolian asked finding it different.

"—Not anymore." Ming Dandan spoke after a delay. "They're gone." 

"Ah… good." Ming Aolian replied.

"We'll wait for Brother Mu Lin to finish his work and secure the surroundings in the meantime." Qian Wen chimed in.

The other's agreed and quickly got to work.
