Almost the instant their eyes t, the little girl’s figure vanished abruptly. In the next second, the pillar exploded into a cloud of dust without a sound. Amidst the gray haze, a small hand shot out, aiming straight for Ye Lian’s throat.
The little girl moved with incredible speed, while Ye Lian stood as if she hadn’t even noticed. But just as the hand reached for her, Ye Lian’s head tilted slightly, perfectly dodging the grasp. As another kick ca her way, Ye Lian leaped back, raising her gun and pulling the trigger.
After three consecutive shots, Ye Lian landed several ters away, breathing lightly.
A tense silence hung in the air for a second before the sound of crisp footsteps echoed from the dust cloud… the sound of shoes tapping on concrete. As the footsteps grew clearer, the little girl’s silhouette erged from the dust. Two blood holes marked her chest, and a fresh blood streak marred her face.
Yet as she appeared, the blood streak began to heal, and the two blood holes squird, slowly expelling two blood-stained Bullet Heads.
“Clink… Clink…”
The crisp sound of tal hitting the ground rang out twice, while the little girl, still smiling, looked at Ye Lian with interest. “Sister, I didn’t expect you to react so quickly… How should I put it… In terms of evolution, your reaction speed shouldn’t match mine, right?”
Ye Lian didn’t glance at the two Bullet Heads. She held her gun steady, her chest rising and falling slightly, eyes fixed on the little girl, then quickly darted a glance at her left hand.
“You want this?” The little girl waved the small notebook in her hand with a grin.
Ye Lian looked at her, saying nothing.
“Hehe… Seems like you do. Zombies really aren’t good at lying…” She bit her finger, chuckling. “But I can’t just give it back to you, can I? How about this… Even though the ga is almost ruined, I’m still in the mood. So, do you want to play a new ga with ? If you win, I’ll return the notebook and let you go for now… But if you lose… hehe, you know the consequences.” The little girl tilted her head.
After a few seconds, Ye Lian asked, “What ga?”
“That human called Ling Mo. He and his companions are searching for you here… wait, don’t get agitated, your expression changed so suddenly…” the little girl said, pressing her forehead as if in slight discomfort. “Although I don’t know how he did it, he is indeed getting closer and closer to this place. And from his reactions, he has sohow found out that you haven’t fallen into my hands yet. But he also knows that from now on, I will be racing against ti to capture you, and what he needs to do is to compete with for ti, to see who can be faster.”
“Anyway, this situation has mostly been driven by him. He doesn’t want to follow my plan. Instead, he forces to make this kind of crude and simple choice… Simply put, he believes that only in this way, you all will have a chance of winning, right?” the little girl asked. “That is to say, he believes you can hold on until he arrives.”
Ye Lian tensed up, guarding against her, and shook her head, indicating she knew nothing. However, upon hearing the word “believe,” Ye Lian gripped her Sniper Rifle tighter and nodded emphatically.
“Hehe, you really are quite strange… Actually, I just figured this out myself…” the little girl said, counting on her fingers, “But this human has still made a slight mistake, which is that I will absolutely not do as he thinks. So here’s my new plan, a new ga… listen…”
…
“Got it? That Progenitor. She will definitely adjust her strategy at the last mont.” Upstairs, Ling Mo and his group were sprinting upwards, and at the sa ti, Ling Mo was explaining his thoughts to them.
“I actually didn’t quite understand…” Mu Chen said, scratching his Hair.
“I think I got it…” Xia Na mused, “Because every ti Ling-Ge disrupted its plans before, it would adjust. This ti will be no exception. But this ti, when making a new plan, it didn’t arrange for any spies to hide among us, so this will be a good opportunity for us to turn defeat into victory.”
“That’s exactly right,” Ling Mo nodded, “And our opportunity is even greater than that…”
“More than that? What do you an? What cunning plan are you thinking of now?” Yuwen Xuan hurriedly leaned in, curious. Unfortunately, just as he was leaning in, Ling Mo pushed him aside: “Figure it out yourself!” Besides, he also received several disapproving looks from different directions, including from Li Yalin…
“Was that necessary…” Yuwen Xuan muttered.
Ling Mo looked ahead, his eyes glinting with a hint of coldness. Besides the “fragnts” he had obtained, Ling Mo had discovered many clues during that ga. These clues ultimately pointed to the Progenitor’s true purpose and a significant flaw it possessed.
This was their real chance to turn the tables. The question now was whether they could seize this opportunity…
…
At that mont, in the corridor where a fierce battle had just erupted, there was nothing left but eerie silence, aside from five chilling corpses. Blood quietly flowed, and the pungent sll of blood lingered in the air filled with dust. Suddenly, a faint sound erged.
The corpse of the Rat King, slumped against the wall, suddenly twitched slightly. It slowly moved toward the corner of the corridor, producing a series of scraping sounds.
Until its feet had disappeared around the corner, a paw suddenly stretched out from behind the wall. Two seconds later, a massive head cautiously peeked out from behind the wall, looking into the corridor. From the mont it extended its head, it had already lost its ability to hide.
Its pitch-black eyes stared curiously ahead, and then it silently walked out.
“Gu…” Xiao Bai glanced around for a while, then wiggled its rear. With this clumsy-looking movent, another Dark Shadow slowly crawled out from the corner.
“Gu…”
“Don’t rush, don’t rush… It’s not as easy for to get up as it is for you,” the Dark Shadow muttered, then suddenly exclaid, “Oh, this is so annoying! My hair got caught again! I’ve tripped over this hair so many tis… Honestly, why is this body still changing? Did it not finish its variation when I brought it out?”
“Gu!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking, okay?”
“Gu!”
“…”
After a mont of silence, the Dark Shadow spoke again, “One last thing, did you sll their scent?”
If Ling Mo were here, he would imdiately recognize these two as Xiao Bai and the current Black Silk. However, Black Silk now looked sowhat different from what he had seen just minutes ago. It lay weakly on the ground, cautiously looking toward the other end of the corridor, its hair completely covering its body.
But just looking at its face, it still resembled a normal person.
Ling Mo stepped over the last stair and raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. He whispered, “It’s on this floor…”
This was the top floor of the entire building. From the unfinished ceiling above, one could even see the sky. The height of the roof was higher than other floors, and the space felt larger. But because the lighting varied, when everyone looked at the walls and columns that hadn’t been plastered yet, they felt an even stronger sense of oppression.
But where exactly on this floor? In such a large space, not only could two people hide, but even ten tis more could be completely concealed. The opportunity was singular and must not be missed.
“What new plan will it co up with?” Yuwen Xuan asked in a low voice.
