But as it turned out, the Zombie wasn’t just bluffing. Just as Old Lan and Lan Lan lifted their feet to walk out, a light sound suddenly ca from behind them. By the ti they hurriedly turned back, the room was already empty, except for a slightly swaying window at the far end.
“He really runs fast,” Lan Lan muttered.
She couldn’t understand this Zombie, and still couldn’t figure out how he managed to do all this. But the warning the Zombie had just left, instead, gave her an idea.
Seeing that the Zombie had already left, the corner of Lan Lan’s mouth lifted slightly, revealing a cunning smile.
Now that he’s gone, who could restrain her?
She hadn’t forgotten how she was covered in dust and carried around like a kitten.
There must be a lot of secrets on that Zombie, and the human who ca to et them could be the breakthrough!
She might not be able to handle the Zombie, but surely she could handle a human?
Suppressing her excitent, Lan Lan walked out and imdiately saw Ling Mo standing in the Corridor.
But upon seeing him, Lan Lan was taken aback.
This guy… didn’t quite match her expectations…
Shouldn’t the kind of people who would work with those Zombies be as creepy as Old Lan?
Yet this young man looked barely in his twenties, dressed in clean casual clothes, carrying a large travel backpack, and had distinct, clean-cut features.
Especially his eyes, which, even in the dim light, appeared very bright.
Like now, he was casually eyeing the father and daughter, while they both felt as if he was seeing them very clearly.
“Follow ,” Ling Mo adjusted the straps of his backpack and said.
At this mont, a chaotic noise ca from upstairs, and it seed like soone was shouting sothing.
Without needing further urging from Ling Mo, the two imdiately followed closely behind him.
As soon as they reached the staircase, they saw Mu Chen standing guard there.
Mu Chen’s eyes widened in astonishnt.
How could he bring out two living people?
“Let’s go first; we’ll talk on the way. Mu Chen, carry this person, he’s too slow,” Ling Mo said with a wave of his hand.
The commotion upstairs grew louder, and soon they heard soone shouting as they rushed downwards.
Within seconds, a figure grabbed the handrail of the upper floor, flipping down the stairs and stumbling awkwardly right behind Lan Lan.
Lan Lan only felt a sudden presence behind her but couldn’t react in ti.
Her body had just stiffened when she saw Ling Mo, at the front, suddenly turn his head. Those bright eyes of his looked directly past her toward the back.
Imdiately after, she heard a muffled groan, followed by a “thud.” She could even feel the person’s hand touch her heel.
“Ah!” Lan Lan was startled. She had no idea how Ling Mo had made his move.
What kind of ability was this? Could it be… eye-popping skill?!
Just a glance made the person collapse. This was too terrifying!
Lan Lan suddenly thought that this guy might not be any easier to deal with than the Zombie!
Old Lan, on the other hand, was pleasantly surprised. The stronger this young man’s abilities, the more it confird what the Zombie had said.
“Don’t just stand there, he’ll wake up soon,” Ling Mo reminded.
Dealing a psychic strangulation while already drained was making Ling Mo’s head spin.
Under normal circumstances, a psychic strangulation would suffice to make the person faint for quite a while, but now it might not even last twenty seconds.
“Why didn’t you just kill him?” Lan Lan quickened her pace and asked Ling Mo from behind.
Ling Mo shuddered: “Why do you always talk about killing?”
“Don’t make it seem like I’m a killer! I’m just curious…” Lan Lan explained nervously.
But then Ling Mo continued: “We need him to hold off those Monsters upstairs.”
“…You and that Zombie… you’re exactly the sa!” Lan Lan yelled angrily.
Ling Mo replied calmly, “He learns to speak from ; it’s normal that we’re alike.”
The way a person speaks is a habit, hard to change suddenly. Ling Mo didn’t bother to conceal it and just went ahead with this excuse.
Lan Lan pouted speechlessly, while Old Lan stared excitedly at Ling Mo.
This guy is a master too; he actually taught a Zombie to speak!
Only Mu Chen was confused, not understanding any of these conversations.
The group quickly ran down the stairs. Just as they were about to exit the passage, a burst of gunfire rang out nearby. Lan Lan scread in fright, holding her head and shrinking back behind the door.
“How do we get out?” she asked, terror evident in her voice.
“Don’t worry, just follow . Most of the fighting has moved upstairs; there aren’t many people here,” Ling Mo said, about to step out but then turned back to look at Lan Lan. He sighed and extended his hand, “I’ll hold onto you.”
“Who needs you to hold !” Lan Lan retorted stubbornly, but a gunshot suddenly rang out nearby, making her shiver and grab Ling Mo’s hand instinctively.
“Don’t squeeze so hard,” Ling Mo said.
Lan Lan, feeling a bit embarrassed, loosened her grip a little and cursed internally, “Who does he think he is, acting as if I’m taking advantage of him.”
She thought Ling Mo would prepare sothing, or at least stop to check the surroundings first. To her surprise, Ling Mo just led her out effortlessly.
Once they reached the lobby, Lan Lan was dumbfounded.
What did he an by ‘moved most of the fighting upstairs’? It’s chaotic here too!
Flas, smoke, gunfire… re ters away, bullets were hitting the walls. Who in their right mind would walk through this?
If they had to pass through, they would definitely crawl along the walls!
Lan Lan was terrified, crouching down several tis. She could hear Old Lan making frightened noises behind her, but for so reason, Ling Mo never stopped his pace; in fact, he was moving faster and faster.
If she hadn’t just witnessed Ling Mo’s impressive strength, she might have let go and hidden by now. Even just following him, she felt imnse pressure!
But this guy… his palms weren’t even sweaty.
Where did he get such calmness and confidence?
Lan Lan finally understood; compared to the Zombie, this guy had even more secrets.
Soon they made their way across the lobby, looped through a corridor, and arrived at a corner.
Peeking out from here, they had a clear view of the main entrance.
Mu Chen pressed against the wall to observe carefully, while Ling Mo leaned against the wall, seemingly taking the opportunity to recover.
With the master ball, he didn’t need to see to know what was going on.
“There are a lot of people over there,” Mu Chen said.
Old Lan also sneaked a peek and added, “Yeah, quite a lot. I guess the Big Boss and his n have moved out too.”
Ling Mo had expected that a few minutes would be enough for those people to relocate.
Lan Lan glanced at Ling Mo and asked, “How are you planning to get out?”
“Just wait, he’s going to help us out,” Ling Mo said with a knowing wink.
Lan Lan was stunned, while Old Lan grinned and nodded excitedly.
“By the way, let introduce everyone.” Noticing Mu Chen’s frustrated expression, Ling Mo chuckled and said, “This is Mu Chen, this is Lan Lan, and her father-just call him Old Lan.”
The father and daughter showed little interest in Mu Chen, nodding briefly as acknowledgnt.
Mu Chen rolled his eyes. That’s what he calls an introduction?
“Captain, co here for a sec.” Mu Chen pulled Ling Mo to the side and asked in a low voice, “Why’d you bring two more people along?”
“It’s not much trouble,” Ling Mo replied.
“It’s not just that. We’re in this together; you need to tell how badly you’ve pissed off Niepan this ti. I need to be ntally prepared,” Mu Chen demanded.
Ling Mo thought seriously for a mont and answered, “I estimate their Big Boss will be so furious that he’ll cough up blood.”
Mu Chen was speechless for a mont before exclaiming, “Holy crap!”
“Don’t worry; I didn’t use my real na,” Ling Mo said, patting Mu Chen on the shoulder.
Mu Chen looked tearful, “I did! And they’ve rembered !”
Once the chaos settles down, Niepan will definitely investigate this thoroughly. It’s obvious they were the ones behind this, especially after knocking out that female witness. Even a regular mber would quickly deduce it was them.
“That still doesn’t help; they won’t easily find you once you’re in the F Team,” Ling Mo continued.
“That’s not comforting at all!” Mu Chen felt like clawing at the walls.
anwhile, the open space outside the building was packed with people, and a line of guards with their guns raised stood at the entrance, aid inside.
People were whispering among themselves, while in a corner surrounded by guards stood a school bus with its doors closed, emitting a faint light from inside.
Every now and then, so people glanced at the school bus and whispered, “The boss must be inside, right?”
“Yeah, they’re probably having an ergency eting. This incident has caused quite a stir, dragging everyone out of bed,” soone muttered.
“What’s going on here, anyway?” another person asked.
“Sothing must have gone wrong with the Experintal Group…”
“No idea, but those Zombies definitely ca from the Experintal Group. They’re so hard to deal with-must be because of the modifications they underwent.”
“This ti, they really shot themselves in the foot. The project wasn’t even officially launched, and it’s already wreaking havoc on their own side…”
Just as everyone was in the middle of discussing, a window on the bus was pulled open.
Although it was hard to see who was looking out from inside, everyone quickly averted their gaze, and the discussions turned into murmurs.
“Seal off the area first; no one is allowed to leave,” said a person inside the bus, tapping their fingers lightly on the back of a seat as they gazed outside.
“No problem. We have the iron fence and several machine guns brought in urgently; no one’s getting out,” soone answered.
However, unknown to everyone, a white figure was moving near a corner by the barbed wire…
