“Hey, wake up.”
Amid a voice calling out, sotis near and sotis far, the chief captain slowly opened his eyes.
“It hurts… Huh? Soone’s calling ? Who… Oh right, just now… what happened?”
The chief captain murmured intermittently.
His consciousness seed still a bit muddled, and his eyes only opened a sliver.
However, in the next second…
“Ah!”
With a splash of cold water hitting his face, the chief captain let out a startled cry.
It wasn’t until the sound was trapped in his mouth that he realized his lips had been taped over…
“Awake now?” a stiff voice sounded from above.
“Darn, no chance…”
The chief captain’s heart skipped a beat, clenching his teeth secretly.
Playing dumb… that was his first thought upon waking.
Pretend not to be fully awake to buy so ti, and gather appropriate Intelligence before engaging in direct conversation…
That was the only way to seize the initiative the mont he opened his eyes!
The fact that his captors knocked him out but didn’t kill him showed that he still held so value…
But… they were very uncooperative!
“Just an ordinary leader, what on earth does he want?”
When the chief captain’s eyes fully opened, what he saw was Ling Mo holding a cup of water, staring at him expressionlessly…
“Not good…” A hint of dread flashed in the chief captain’s eyes.
Staring down at him, Ling Mo also had a similar thought: “This is going to be tough…”
At this mont, beyond the other person’s line of sight, Ling Mo’s back was constantly writhing.
To seize that fleeting mont, he forcibly concentrated the virus in his upper body… which resulted in a variation in his back. If he were outside, Ling Mo wouldn’t be worried about this, but in this setting, any anomaly could lead to ruin…
And the chief captain captured successfully before him… clearly was not soone who would play by the rules.
Despite being ambushed unexpectedly, he still managed to imdiately make the right assessnt upon regaining consciousness… that level of calmness is not sothing everyone possesses…
“Originally thought he was just soone who liked to show off, but it turns out he actually has the capability to back it up… and moreover…” Ling Mo glanced at the clock on the wall, “less than a minute, huh… hit by a mutated zombie head-on and only knocked out for such a short ti,” his gaze returned to the chief captain, “you’re an Enhancent ability superhuman, aren’t you? Too bad, you won’t get the chance to use it. This body isn’t suitable for fighting. Who knows what changes might occur during a battle…”
After thinking for a mont, Ling Mo decisively revealed a dagger.
“Let’s have a chat,” he said straightforwardly.
“So soon!” Cold sweat was already dripping from the chief captain’s forehead.
He hadn’t figured it out yet… in this situation, knowing nothing is very dangerous.
Is he going to interrogate ? If so, he would probably decide my fate based on my answers…
“Was he bribed by the Second Camp? But if that were the case, his mission should be to stay hidden and wait for the right mont. Coming out like this to capture would be too reckless, wouldn’t it? Whether he locks up further or kills to silence , it would expose him! So, is his purpose the third one?”
“The third, bribing !”
“I see, that makes sense… In that case, I’m probably not in too much danger…”
Swipe!
The blade tip suddenly pressed against his forehead, and the intense feeling of imminent danger left the chief captain montarily stunned.
The acute threat of death paralyzed him, causing cold sweat to stream down incessantly.
“Next, I’ll ask so questions. Answer incorrectly, you die. Lie, you die. Take more than a second to answer, you die. Understand?” Ling Mo spoke slowly.
He didn’t have ti to beat around the bush with this guy…
“I’m in a hurry,” Ling Mo added.
The chief captain’s pupils constricted rapidly, seeing a blood mist form out of nowhere before his eyes.
“I guessed wrong! From his expression, he doesn’t seem to be joking! He’ll really do it… he’ll kill !”
Fear of death is an instinct, especially after reaching his position…
“Tied up… and everything on was taken…”
Feeling the knife tip slowly piercing in, the chief captain’s fear surged to its peak.
“Don’t speak? Dead… Speak? Might not ensure survival…”
“Knock, knock.”
A gentle knock on the door suddenly broke the tense atmosphere in the room, escalating it to a more critical level.
Both the chief captain and Ling Mo were startled, but their reactions imdiately diverged.
“At a ti like this… who could it be!” Ling Mo stood up imdiately.
The chief captain was initially hopeful, then couldn’t help but wail internally: “He won’t give a chance to call for help! If there’s any anomaly, he’ll kill imdiately!”
The most direct signal was… though Ling Mo stood up, the knife tip remained steadily against his forehead, still pressing forward!
“Knock, knock!”
After the knock ca twice more, a voice finally ca through.
“Captain Cao, are you in there?”
Hearing this voice, Ling Mo was montarily taken aback.
That Secretary Yang!
“Can’t shake her off!”
He had just used this woman as a decoy, but she didn’t need to return so quickly…
Even tailing has its limits!
“Looks like my biggest mistake today was running into this woman on the way in…” Ling Mo thought in frustration.
Plans can’t keep up with changes… Ling Mo hadn’t anticipated encountering such a situation before.
“She wouldn’t co here without reason, and those two guards outside must have inford her of my presence… She’s looking for !”
Ling Mo turned to look at the chief captain, then glanced at the door.
“Continued avoidance won’t solve anything, might as well…”
Outside, Yang i stood there with a glimr in her eyes.
“Ye Chao, the patrol team captain on duty… normally quite diligent, and nothing out of the ordinary… but there’s sothing about his deanor that I find unsettling… and his behavior before was strange. If there weren’t any issues, he wouldn’t have slipped away from the restroom… too bad he managed to give the slip with so trick. The question now is, what did he co here for?”
Just as she thought of this, a voice suddenly ca from inside the room.
“Co in.”
At the sa ti, the door clicked and slowly opened.
Yang i raised an eyebrow. This was unusual, but…
As she reached out to grasp the door handle, she pushed the door open completely.
“Where is everyone?”
Her heart stirred as she imdiately took a step forward.
She saw it!
At the inner room’s doorway, the chief captain was tied to a chair.
His constant shivering and pale face made Yang i freeze for a mont.
However, with her quick reflexes, her attention swiftly focused on the most abnormal aspect of the chief captain.
Dangling above his head was a gun, the other end connected to…
Bang!
Suddenly the lights went out, and the door closed.
“Where is it! Where’s the wire connected to the gun?” Yang i quietly exclaid.
“Don’t move.”
A voice suddenly ca from behind her, “If you move carelessly, you’ll get him killed.”
“Just now… hiding on the door?” Yang i’s heart skipped a beat.
Even though she possessed terrifying speed, in such a narrow, dark place, she really couldn’t make any sudden moves…
She didn’t know the position of the wire, but judging by the principle and the other person’s implication, if she touched it, the chief captain would likely die.
“I have to comply…”
Biting her lip, Yang i quickly thought of a strategy.
But at that mont, a sense of unease suddenly ca from behind.
Instinctively, Yang i moved to the side, but she didn’t notice a red glimr flash above her head.
“Plop!”
As the red glimr entered her hair, Yang i felt a sudden confusion wash over her.
It was as if she had beco sluggish in an instant, with foreign thoughts invading her mind…
Rage, cruelty, ruthlessness… these emotions overwheld her, and when she ca back to her senses, she was already pinned to the ground.
The person showed no rcy, pressing a knee hard into her abdon while gripping her wrists tightly.
As she tried to react, a pair of eyes locked onto hers: “Now you really can’t move…”
