Chapter 660: Talking Behind Someones Back Should Be Done in Private!
Following Shen Les navigation records, Ling Mo and the others left Dongming and walked for a while before entering a relatively hidden route.
This road had been replaced by a highway in the past. Although it wasnt officially abandoned, the traffic was relatively spa.r.s.e, which meant fewer zombies.
To Ling Mos pleasant surprise, the road had actually been cleared.
The few abandoned vehicles had been pushed to the side, revealing a winding but un.o.bstructed path.
This was no small feat. Even for survivors, let alone those with superpowers, this would have been a strenuous task.
However, considering they had the Number 1 experimental subject with them, most of the heavy lifting was likely done by that monster.
Judging by the marks on the ground, some zombies had been killed here as well.
The corpses of these zombies had attracted another batch of zombies.
These zombies were now slowly moving along the road, eyes looking forward, occasionally glancing around in search of potential prey.
Just having the road cleared didnt mean much to Ling Mo and the others.
But as they wandered along the roadside, Ling Mo unexpectedly found an off-road vehicle that was not only fully fueled but also stocked with some food.
There was no doubt that this vehicle belonged to the members of the Niepan headquarters. In the cramped s.p.a.ce at the back of the off-road vehicle, there was a rectangular iron cage, likely used to hold Number 1.
The bars of the cage bore many signs of being struck, suggesting that Number 1 had struggled and been beaten frequently.
As Ling Mo stared at the cage, an image of Xu Shuhan crouching inside involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Through the iron bars, he saw her red eyes, disheveled hair, and slightly open collar
Wait, why am I thinking about this
Ling Mo quickly shook his head. When he looked at Xu Shuhan, she suddenly seemed to sense something, grabbing Xia Nas arm and hiding behind her.
Uh Ling Mo felt an immediate wave of awkwardness.
Before getting into the off-road vehicle, Ling Mo glanced back over his shoulder.
Although he couldnt see them with the naked eye, Ling Mo was well aware that Yu s.h.i.+ran and Xiao Bai were following behind.
After the last incident, the zombie loli had stopped running around recklessly.
However, now she had to stick with Xiao Bai, trailing from a distance.
In terms of pace, Xiao Bai was definitely not lacking in speed or endurance.
But the fact that it was infected made it a ticking time bomb, potentially causing unexpected situations at any moment.
Despite the concerns, given the current circ.u.mstances, all they could do was keep a close watch.
As for Yu s.h.i.+ran, the zombie loli likely had her usual disgruntled expression
Thinking about this, Ling Mo felt somewhat helpless.
Such is the pressure of the situation
Captain, get in the car, Mu Chen urged.
He was clearly enamored with the off-road vehicle, urging Ling Mo while his hands caressed the hood, making appreciative sounds.
But in the brief moment that pa.s.sed, when Mu Chen turned around, he was stunned to find someone already sitting in the drivers seat.
Wait, you can drive? Mu Chen asked, wide-eyed.
Xia Na snorted, flexing her fingers in antic.i.p.ation, Of course.
So confident Mu Chens expression showed a hint of skepticism, but then he noticed Ling Mos expression.
The captain was sitting rigidly in the pa.s.senger seat, looking rather grim
Mu Chens heart sank, but after opening his mouth, he ultimately said nothing and got into the car silently.
If Ling Mo had to endure this, so did he
Even if she drives terribly, the worst that could happen is some swerving or a slow pace Mu Chen tried to rea.s.sure himself.
However, a few minutes later, he realized just how wrong he was!
Xia Nas driving was outright reckless, her speed astonis.h.i.+ng!
Whenever zombies appeared on the road, she would charge straight at them. It wasnt until the zombies faces were almost plastered against the winds.h.i.+eld, their grotesque expressions clearly visible, that Xia Na would suddenly swerve, narrowly sc.r.a.ping past them.
That wasnt all. In the split second she pa.s.sed by, Xia Na would stab out with her knife, counting with a serious face amidst the blood splatter carried by the wind: One two
Mu Chen, who was quickly becoming dizzy from the wild ride, could only think, I guessed the beginning, but I didnt foresee this process!
As Ling Mo and the others drove rapidly towards the Niepan headquarters, a helicopter was landing at the Falcon Second Camp.
When the helicopters door opened, a dozen figures streamed out. From a distant window in a nearby building, someone was watching them.
Seeing those people disembark and immediately head towards his building, this person couldnt help but sneer, They just show up without any notice.
Actually, they did leave a message a voice from behind couldnt help but chime in.
Oh those things, I never bother to read, the person by the window said matter-of-factly.
True the person behind surprisingly agreed, nodding thoughtfully. Youre the person in charge here now, the real boss. For them to just leave a message without discussing it, and even forcefully board the helicopter we sent for supplies
The person by the window suddenly turned around and said, From now on, let it be known: without my order, no one from Falcon headquarters, no matter who, is allowed to board. Well unless Ling Mo gives the order.
Ling Mos whereabouts are unknown Zhang Yu rolled his eyes dramatically.
Despite the casual tone, Zhang Yu couldnt help but show a trace of concern.
In truth, it was Yuwen Xuans att.i.tude that had attracted that group.
Now issuing such a stringent order, who knows, one day they might really only listen to Yuwen Xuan and Ling Mo
But if that day comes, will Falcon Camp really let it slide?
Before Zhang Yu could think further, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
I need to announce you first you cant just barge in!
Announce what! Everyone here is from headquarters, and you still need to announce us to Yuwen Xuan? This is ridiculous!
Why waste time talking to them? You lot, get out of my way! Who do you think you are, trying to stop us? Are you blind?
With a commotion erupting, the door began to shake with loud bangs.
This is too much Zhang Yu frowned, saying.
But just as he started to speak, Yuwen Xuan tugged at his clothes and quickly moved to the door, opening it with a click: Oh, what an honor.
Outside the door, two guards looked anxious and troubled as they tried to block a large group of people.
The person at the front had his arm raised, hand poised for a slap, glaring angrily at the guards.
As soon as the door opened, his motion froze in place.
So enthusiastic, huh? I havent even come out and youre already waving at me? Hahaha, no need to be so courteous. You really know your manners. Uh wait, who are you again, and whats your name?
Yuwen Xuan squinted his eyes, smiling broadly as he spoke.
Hearing the beginning of his speech, the man with the raised arm looked a bit embarra.s.sed, but by the end, his face had darkened considerably.
Sarcasm, insultYuwen Xuans opening words had already set a confrontational tone
The mans fingers twitched, but he ultimately didnt bring his hand down. Instead, he lowered his arm with a hateful look and said coldly, I am the deputy leader of the headquarters Investigative Team, Gao Wei. This is our leader.
With that, he turned his gaze to a skinny old man beside him.
The old man had dark skin, a stern expression, drooping eyelids over small eyes, and pursed lips, giving off an unapproachable demeanor.
I am the leader, Mi Tan.
Should be called expressionless Yuwen Xuan muttered, turning his head and continuing, High position, expressionless quite the pair.
Gao Weis face turned so dark it seemed like water might drip from it. The members of the team behind him either looked grim or struggled to suppress laughter.
It was well-known that the leader of the Second Camp was a madman, and todays encounter certainly lived up to the reputation
Who talks trash right to someones face like that? Without even lowering his voice!
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu, the supposed recipient of Yuwen Xuans comment, maintained a perfectly serious expression. Ignoring Yuwen Xuans words, he turned to Mi Tan and said, Leader Mi, weve been expecting you. Please come this way.
