“So what do we do?” Xia Na asked.
Ling Mo glanced at her, revealing a aningful smile…
Inside the Town shrouded in white mist…
A group of figures was slowly moving forward along the wall, and the direction they occasionally looked up to was exactly where the Hotel was located.
At the sa ti, in several other streets and Alleys, there were similar figures approaching the Hotel.
They moved quickly and soon reached the vicinity of the Hotel, all lurking into the darkness.
Inside the Hotel, whose entrance was stained with blood, it was eerily silent.
Combined with the constantly wafting sll of blood, this place was practically a lifeless dead zone.
“Beep beep…”
From the Communicator, Fang Zhou’s voice ca through: “Ling Mo, I guess… you should have already left the Hotel by now, right?”
“Want to know? Then co in and see for yourself.” Ling Mo replied simply, then cut off the call.
Fang Zhou held the Communicator, hesitating for a mont.
There was still no movent inside the Hotel…
But his eyes… saw nothing at all.
This indicated that Ling Mo and the others should still be inside. But why was it so quiet now? If the other side wanted to set an ambush in the Hotel… they could easily make so noise, right?
“Captain, do we go in or not?” soone behind him asked.
Fang Zhou pursed his lips: “Send in a team… go!”
Soon, one of the teams lurking nearby received the order. Using the cover of darkness, they cautiously entered the Hotel.
But not long after they entered, a loud “bang” suddenly erupted from inside.
“What happened!” Fang Zhou shot to his feet.
“Explosion…” soone behind quickly checked and soon replied.
“Did you find anyone?” Fang Zhou asked again.
“…No.”
“What about nearby?”
“Also no.”
“How many casualties?”
“They said a Grenade suddenly fell from above, landing right in the crowd. One dead, the rest injured.” The responder sounded uneasy, and was muttering inwardly. Fell from above… Damn, a bomb dropped right on a group of people and no one noticed! If it was set up beforehand, there should’ve been traces! But these mbers are all highly skilled veteran Survivors! Can’t figure it out…
Fang Zhou was stunned…
Where were the people? No one was there, so how did they detonate the bomb… with a device? No, impossible, his people were all very careful, such a Low-Level mistake would never happen. Every step they took, they carefully observed the surroundings… So how did Ling Mo pull this off!
It felt just like Ling Mo had dug a trap, then pointed at the trap saying, “Jump. Go ahead, jump, the trap is right here.” And the one jumping thought they had everything under control, that as long as they were careful, they wouldn’t get hurt, and could even catch Ling Mo hiding behind the trap…
But unexpectedly, they made a mistake, and this seemingly innocent little guy had filled the trap with knives.
“Good… very good…” Fang Zhou muttered under his breath, “So his preparations really were more thorough than we thought…”
But at this mont, no one noticed that at the Hotel’s ventilation shaft, a Creature resembling a Jellyfish was squeezing its way out.
“Plop!”
Its whole body trembled, shaking off all the dust, then, like a crystal-clear hemispherical sphere, it crawled along the wall…
“Beep beep…” This ti it was Ling Mo who initiated contact.
Fang Zhou pressed the answer button but didn’t speak.
“Bro, how’s your guess?” Ling Mo asked with a cheeky grin.
Fang Zhou was instantly choked up… this guy was arrogant!
And he just said he didn’t want to chat… now he’s calling bro so casually!
“Heh… no rush, it’s still early.” Fang Zhou replied coolly with a smile.
“Yeah… don’t get discouraged. But speaking of which, this actually confirms two things.” Ling Mo suddenly changed the topic.
Fang Zhou frowned. He wanted to hang up on this guy, tired of his smug tone, but after thinking it over, he still asked, “Which two things?”
“Heh heh…”
Ling Mo’s laugh made Fang Zhou imdiately feel a sense of foreboding. Sure enough, his next words were: “Take a guess.”
“Hmph!” Fang Zhou snorted heavily, gripping the Communicator tightly.
But soon he took a deep breath: “Using such petty tricks, you think you can provoke …”
“But…” recalling what Ling Mo had said, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but feel uneasy. He suddenly thought, maybe that bomb wasn’t Ling Mo’s real trap, maybe what he was talking about was this…
Thinking this way, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but grow anxious. He thought for a mont, then suddenly handed the Communicator to the person behind him: “Destroy it.”
After making this decision, he couldn’t help but show a self-mocking smile. He had planned to get sothing out of Ling Mo… but ended up being used instead.
“This kid was able to think of all this and put it into action in such a short ti… He really can’t be underestimated.” The more Fang Zhou marveled, the stronger the murderous intent in his eyes grew. He wasn’t like these team mbers… He wasn’t just here for a stable life. He was here for power…
That’s right, there was power even in the Apocalypse, and it was even greater than in peaceti. You could directly decide soone’s life or death, watch others risk their lives outside. These were all things Fang Zhou was eager to obtain. But he couldn’t rise to the top at Falcon Camp… Here, the middle and lower levels were run in a military fashion, and the top was even worse-there wasn’t even a real Boss. That’s why he could plot with Chief of Staff Wang… But Falcon wasn’t his, while Miracle Base just might be.
“What Miracle Base… As long as people are dead, there’s no miracle at all. You all, and that base as well…” As Fang Zhou thought, he spoke up, “Tell them to search the area! Ling Mo and the others couldn’t have gotten out of that zone!”
“Yes!”
…
“Huff…”
In the underground Parking Lot of the Hotel, the tightly closed Elevator doors suddenly opened.
The way the doors opened was terrifying… From the outside, it looked like soone had slowly torn them open by hand…
And in fact, that’s exactly what happened.
When Li Yalin and Yu Shiran clapped their hands and easily crawled out first, Ye Kai and the others who followed were all dumbfounded.
Tearing open an Elevator by hand… Was there any humanity left…
Everyone thought with tears streaming down their faces.
“All right, from here on out we need to be careful. We could run into them at any ti, but we absolutely can’t give them any chance to signal. Of course, if we can avoid them, that’s best.” Ling Mo instructed in a low voice.
“Mm!” Everyone nodded in unison.
Except for Mu Chen, whose combat strength had dropped sharply, the others were just a bit tired, but could still hold on for a while longer.
“But why are we doing this?”
“Yeah… and there were those two things to confirm… What are they?” Everyone’s curiosity was still there.
From the mont they entered, they’d felt Ling Mo was arranging sothing. Now they understood part of it… Ling Mo entered the Hotel to lure the snake out of its hole. But now? What was he planning to lure this ti?
“This ti, it’s for a counterattack.” Ling Mo said, “They can’t find us right now, but they know we’re definitely nearby, so they’ll send people to search everywhere. That ans they’ll have to split up, which gives us a chance to break through.”
“But… won’t we just keep going in circles?” Gu Shuangshuang asked worriedly.
“Yes, that’s exactly what they think, and we’re staying here to make them think that.” Ling Mo smiled and said.
“All right… Anyway, whenever you talk business, it sounds like you’re bluffing. What about those two things?” Mu Chen asked.
“First… When we’re inside a building, they can’t sense us.” This ti Ling Mo didn’t hold back, and spoke up. After all, what ca next would require everyone’s cooperation.
Xia Na pondered for a mont and asked, “Ling-Ge, when you say ‘they’… you an the person who created this environnt?”
“Mm. I sensed it from the very beginning… Soone was watching us. But I couldn’t sense any psychic power… But when I saw the darkness spreading and receding, I understood-they’re using that to sense our presence.” Ling Mo said, “But just like all energy, this kind of Superpower is much weaker inside buildings, so they can sense roughly what area we’re in, but not our exact location. I just blew them up once, so they won’t dare to co in rashly. Searching the entire Hotel and the surrounding area will take ti.”
Zhang Xincheng thought for a while, then said, “That’s right… Captain thought of everything.”
“So that’s how it is…” Everyone was a bit stunned… Most of them had been focused on the corpses at the ti, and hadn’t noticed the connection between the darkness and the enemy monitoring them. But ntal ability superhumans were always quite sensitive, and with Ling Mo being so cautious, it wasn’t just luck that he noticed.
“We got in here by opening the Elevator doors from the top floor, so they’ll only find out at the very end, but it’s also possible we’ll run into them as soon as we go out. But that’s not the point… The key is, how do we avoid their surveillance when it’s everywhere?” Ling Mo said.
Everyone fell silent in thought… That’s right! That was the hard part. Since Ling Mo said the enemy was Sensing them through the whole environnt… With such a brutal Superpower, how could they possibly move without being noticed?
“It’s tough…” Skinny Monkey and the others exchanged glances, then sighed.
But Ling Mo smiled at this mont and said, “Actually, it’s not that hard.”
