Chapter 639 Such a Thought Process is Simply Unfathomable!

Played for a fool

A members heart skipped a beat as he was about to turn his head when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, tensing his body instantly.

An urgent voice came from behind his head: Dont move, drop whats in your hands.

The member tried to roll his eyes back, slowly gripping the steel bar tighter, but a p.r.i.c.king sensation on his neck silently urged him on.

Let go, quickly. The voice hastened.

Clang!

The steel bar slipped from his grasp and fell at his feet.

Step back. The person behind immediately pulled him backward.

Stop thinking about playing tricks, Zhang Laoer, didnt you recognize my voice? the voice continued.

Disappointment in Zhang Laoers eyes was swiftly replaced by astonishment, and after a brief pause, he exclaimed, You are Captain Mu?!

Good of you to remember to call me Captain Mu. Mu Chen was still close behind Zhang Laoer, not loosening his grip at all, But you shouldve known you might encounter me, right? Dont tell me Ai Feng didnt mention this possibility. Normal survivors wouldnt bother coming to Dongming City for no good reason. With a bit of a.n.a.lysis, narrowing down the suspects isnt that hard, right?

No, we thought you were all dead Sweat formed on Zhang Laoers forehead, s.h.i.+ning faintly in the dim light.

Oh, trying to fool me? d.a.m.n, so you all really take me for a fool? Let me tell you, that guy wasnt wrong, if you really cared about whether I was alive or dead, at least you wouldve tried to talk or negotiate first, to confirm the targets ident.i.ty and our status, right? Mu Chen growled in a low voice.

Zhang Laoer, drenched in sweat, could only offer a pale defense: I was just following orders, I didnt know anything about what youre saying

Mu Chen freed one hand and started rummaging through Zhang Laoers pockets: Now, I do think Xia Zhi was quite prescient, his approach was really about self-preservation and gaining merit But, well, he ended up being the first among us to die.

What does that mean? Zhang Laoer didnt dare to struggle, watching helplessly as Mu Chen searched and tossed various weapons from his person into a corner.

Its nothing. Too many variables have come into play, leading to this inevitable outcome. Zhang Laoer, I know if that had been me instead of the plastic one, you wouldnt have hesitated to strike, so dont expect any mercy from me now.

Mu Chen gritted his teeth and pulled out a small knife from behind Zhang Laoers waist, demanding coldly, Talk. Whats the order? How many people has Ai Feng brought, and whats the plan?

Zhang Laoers face turned ugly as he spoke, If I tell you, Ill die a horrible death, Captain Mu

Not talking? Then die now. Mu Chen applied a bit more pressure in his hand.

Feeling the sharp edge of the knife pressing against his skin, and his carotid artery seeming ready to be cut open at any moment, Zhang Laoer closed his eyes tightly in panic.

Ill talk, Ill talk he whispered, speaking quickly, Apart from our group that just entered, every living thing is a target. Alive is best, but if not kill them all.

Thats the order? What about the rest? Mu Chen pressed on.

Not many people brought, around ten. As for the plan, all exits are blocked, and I bet more will come. Captain Mu, if you help us catch the others, it counts as a merit! Even though the guy from headquarters is dead, as long as you didnt kill him Zhang Laoer said anxiously.

I do want to kill Mu Chen let out a cold laugh and suddenly kicked the back of Zhang Laoers knee.

Zhang Laoer grunted, involuntarily dropping to his knees.

Captain Mu! Dont be ras.h.!.+ This is Dongming City, its not worth it Ah! Zhang Laoer took another hit to the back, his voice suddenly dropping, Captain Mu, dont do this, opposing Niepan wont end well for you, help me, and the credit is all yours! What do you want? Booze, cigarettes, women! As long as you have merit and are useful to Niepan, who would kill you? Dont let a moment of anger lead you to a dead end!

Merit, huh? That does sound tempting. Mu Chen paused for a moment in his actions.

Zhang Laoer immediately felt a glimmer of hope and continued to persuade, Exactly! All those troublesome matters, just pin them on someone else, and youll have nothing to do with them. Nows a great opportunity, Captain Mu!

It is indeed a good opportunity, Mu Chens voice suddenly got closer to Zhang Laoers ear, But those kind of people disgust me. How can I turn myself into something as disgusting as them?

Captain Mu, dont be foolish

Let me tell you, there are things that some people cant do, and then there are those who just wont do them. I, Mu Chen, am the kind who just cant do it, no matter what. Are you satisfied now? As he spoke, Mu Chen grabbed Zhang Laoers hair, fully exposing his throat.

No, dont kill me Captain Mu Zhang Laoers voice began to tremble.

His body also started to shake uncontrollably, the blade resting on his bobbing Adams apple, as if it could slice into it at any moment, turning him into a cold corpse.

Mu Chen squatted behind him, clutching his hair and gritting his teeth.

Suddenly, he raised the knife and then swung it down heavily.

Thump.

Zhang Laoer fell to the ground with his eyes closed, yet there was no blood on Mu Chens knife

You better not wake up too soon, or next time

Mu Chen stared at Zhang Laoer for a while, helplessly glanced at the knife in the water, then looked around and ran off to one side.

Seconds later, he entered a small storage room.

Its me, Mu Chen immediately said in a low voice upon seeing the flash of cold steel.

The glint quickly disappeared, and a girls figure darted out from behind the door, looking behind him, Come in.

Maybe we should just close the door, Mu Chen casually suggested.

Another female voice came from the darkness: Wouldnt closing it draw more attention?

Its like turning this place into a rat trap Mu Chen said as he crossed several shelves and entered the interior of the warehouse.

In the corner, Ling Mo was helping Xu Shuhan sit on a stack of boxes.

Xu Shuhan was still panting, her eyes looking eerily red in the darkness.

Upon seeing Mu Chen, she abruptly raised her head, emitting a hair-raising grinding sound from her mouth.

However, Ling Mo swiftly grabbed the back of her collar and dragged her back.

Xu Shuhan twisted in frustration but ultimately gave up.

Is she really not fully turned into a zombie yet? Mu Chens expression looked shocked.

If she had fully turned, I wouldnt be able to hold onto her. Plus, once she gets used to it, she wont try to bite you anymore, for now Ling Mo said.

Mu Chen, taken aback, then said, That for now sounds quite ominous!

How did your questioning go? Ling Mo quickly changed the subject.

I found an old acquaintance, and he shared some information with me. It doesnt sound good. That kid and the experimental product are both dead, and Ai Feng will definitely see it through to the end. And, they dont care about our life or death anymore. Luckily Xia Zhi has been dealt with, otherwise, if he sold your information, that would have been bad. But they are very familiar with me so

Mu Chen sighed.

What about the acquaintance? Ling Mo asked thoughtfully, then suddenly inquired.

Mu Chen was startled, then shook his head, I I didnt go through with it

It looks like relying on you to be the mole is out of the question, then Ling Mo said with regret.

I just refused that very offer! Mu Chen roared, then added, Even if they deploy Number 0, me acting as a mole would be pointless, Id be found out immediately.

Number 0 is that powerful, huh. A hint of antic.i.p.ation flickered in Ling Mos eyes.

This kind of mental monitoring, even he couldnt cover many people at the same time. In fact, he had to focus his attention on one person and observe for a while to detect any abnormal fluctuations.

From this, it seemed that Number 0s specialty was primarily in monitoring and information relay.

And Ling Mo, his Mental Sphere was feeling hungry right now

The youngster from Niepan headquarters, although a mental ability user, Ling Mo hadnt rashly consumed his Mental power to avoid leaving any trace.

Because using the consume ability in that situation would have been impossible to completely hide from Mu Chen.

Even if Mu Chen hadnt noticed, there was still a mental seed from Number 0 in his brain

Although Mu Chen was now on the same side as Ling Mo, that seed was like a ticking time bomb, constantly keeping Ling Mo on alert.

It was like a spy that could awaken at any moment

However, seeing Mu Chen return at least proved that he himself was not compromised, and all that was needed afterward was to find a way to remove the mental seed from his brain.

But bringing it up at that moment obviously wasnt the right move. After thinking, Ling Mo said, Since thats the case, we dont need to keep running. Once were outside, they know the terrain better than us, and with Number 0 tracking you Lets just stay here and take out this group first!

Just the few of us? Mu Chens eyes widened in shock. What kind of thought process was this!

He had just finished saying the other side was well-prepared, and this guy was already thinking about wiping everyone out

Yeah, take out one batch, and the pressure on us is lessened by that much, Ling Mo seriously nodded in agreement.

Wait a minute Mu Chen suddenly realized something, Youre not planning to no, you never intended to escape Dongming, did you? Hey, dont turn your head!

Hehe, Ling Mo chuckled thoughtfully.

Hey, I dont want to die here! Are you even listening to me? Mu Chen ranted frantically on the side.

At that moment, within the mall, figures were slowly moving in various places.

Not far from the entrance, on the main staircase, one person was leading several figures, moving slowly upwards while sticking close to the wall.
