As the officer spoke, Ghost Head instinctively glanced at Brother Shi. He wanted to lie, to say the three of them were survivors from the Second District Battlefield. But before he could speak, Brother Shi had already taken the lead and said, "Report! We... are deserters."
After saying this, he lowered his head. Ghost Head looked at him, angered by the fact that Brother Shi didn't even try to cover it up. There was a chance they wouldn't have been put in such a difficult position!
But on second thought, back when they escaped the "Graveyard," they had killed two veterans. By now, Bai Liang must have discovered they'd fled and likely reported it up the chain. If they lied and it was exposed, the consequences were clear. On the contrary, telling the truth might give them a chance.
"Almost unbelievably stupid..." Ghost Head thought to himself. Like Brother Shi, he lowered his head.
"Deserters?"
