Chapter 579: Can We Still Have Fun?
Under the moonlight, his complexion looked terrible.
“What’s wrong?” Three heads popped out from under the bed covers, all staring at him with confusion.
“Nothing…” Ling Mo shook his head before leaning back, breathing somewhat heavily.
Shana, propping up her chin, watched Ling Mo and said, “That’s not right, your mental power is in chaos.”
With her pure spiritual body within, she was naturally very sensitive to fluctuations in mental power.
“Uh… had a nightmare, I guess.” Ling Mo said with a wry smile.
Shana looked at him for a moment longer and then, taking his word for it, shook her head with a sigh, “Truly troublesome, humans…”
“What’s a nightmare?” Li Ya Lin began to inquire.Ye Lian, after giving Ling Mo a glance, suddenly lifted her head and lightly pecked at Ling Mo’s cheek, stuttering, “Don’t… be afraid…”
“I know.” Ling Mo felt a warmth in his heart and gently rubbed Ye Lian’s head.
A nightmare?
Only he himself knew for sure that this was no mere nightmare.
In fact, ever since he was captured by the Spider Queen, these incidents had been occurring regularly.
During the day he could control it, but at night when his guard was down, those strange sensations became particularly intense.
Blood rushing faster, mental waves starting to surge violently, and all sorts of illusions would appear in his mind…
The Spider Queen, that mutated zombie, must have done something to him while he was unconscious…
But the Mental Sphere had already been thoroughly searched by him many times, without any oversights, yet nothing was found.
This made it clear that whatever she had done, it must be hidden somewhere in his body.
But how could he find it? Dissect himself?
“It feels like I’m strapped to a time bomb…” Ling Mo looked at his own palm, feeling somewhat despondent.
He didn’t blame anyone for this; if he had to blame something, it was his own carelessness.
All he had been thinking about was achieving Niepan, not expecting that the Spider Queen was also watching him.
For now, without any other solution, the only way to find the anomaly inside his body was probably to wait until his body had completely turned into a zombie.
Zombies are especially sensitive to the condition of their bodies, a sensitivity far beyond that of humans.
“At least, I still have time before she reproduces. It won’t be lethal for the moment, and thinking like that calms me…” Just as Ling Mo had comforted himself with the thought, he suddenly burst out, “Calm my ass!”
Being schemed against by a zombie, Ling Mo was very annoyed!
Fortunately, the other party was not just any ordinary zombie, one that could hide in a horde and be impossible to find. As long as she still harbored ill will towards him, he would eventually find her.
But before finding her, he had to figure out a way to defuse the bomb.
To find the bomb, he would first need to modify his body, and to modify his body…
Ling Mo’s gaze turned toward the female zombies lying beside him, and then he reached out to support his waist…
“Ling Ge’s expression… is so odd…”
Ye Lian, who had been sneakily observing Ling Mo, silently pulled up the blanket at this moment and then covered her own head…
…
Meanwhile, in a small room somewhere within Team F’s base, a figure also suddenly sat up in bed.
“I’ve sensed it again!”
Mu Chen, while massaging his temples, looked around excitedly.
The other person wouldn’t naturally be here, but they must be somewhere in the TV station.
Days of sensing had left him feeling closer and closer to the other person.
“But why does this person always move around at midnight…”
Mu Chen quickly dressed and slipped upstairs without making a sound.
He could now confirm the other person’s approximate location and was fully prepared to go looking for them.
As for Xia Zhi and Xu Shuhan, he didn’t call them because having more people might just complicate things.
He had also gone out to search a couple of days ago, but since it was really hard to pinpoint the location, he had come back empty-handed. He wasn’t very hopeful today either, but he had to try.
The Team F base was very quiet in the middle of the night, with only the occasional sound of patrol footsteps.
With Mu Chen’s abilities, avoiding their patrols wasn’t difficult.
In the dark recesses of the TV station building, only a few places were lit with dim yellow lights, and these places often had their windows covered with black cloth to ensure they wouldn’t attract zombies.
In this eerie atmosphere, a shadow suddenly darted under the light and then stopped in the shadows.
Mu Chen continued to sense and search upwards.
“It’s fading again!” Mu Chen suddenly became anxious, “Come on, give me a break, don’t fade now!”
He quickened his pace, but just as he silently reached a staircase, his body stiffened, and he stopped in his tracks.
Mu Chen sharply turned around, his eyes quickly scanning the shadows, and he asked in a low voice, “Who’s there?”
No one answered, but the feeling of being watched for that split second put Mu Chen on high alert.
He looked around for a while, saw no one appear, and slowly turned back.
“Damn!” Mu Chen nearly jumped out of his skin as a figure stood ominously in front of him.
“What are you doing here at this time?” the figure asked.
“I… why is it you?” Mu Chen started to reply but suddenly realized the person who appeared was none other than “Big Brother.”
He felt something was off. He was searching for that person’s traces, so why did he encounter Big Brother here?
Moreover, his sensation had suddenly become stronger than ever a moment ago.
This was too much of a coincidence…
“Why can’t it be me? My room is on this floor. What are you doing here?” Ling Mo also asked suspiciously.
It wasn’t just that he happened to be awake; even if he were asleep, he would have felt someone approaching. Even if he hadn’t sensed it, there were still Ye Lian and the others, right?
However, the fact that this person had approached this close before being detected also showed that he had some stealthy skills.
In reality, Mu Chen’s current location was only about ten meters or so away from Ling Mo’s room.
Mu Chen didn’t speak, and Ling Mo didn’t ask any further.
Both men, with their own thoughts, stood in silence, facing off against each other.
After two minutes of silence, Mu Chen suddenly spoke up, “Buddy, let’s be straight with each other…”
“Yeah, I know who you are,” Ling Mo took over.
“…” Mu Chen was suddenly at a loss for words.
That ominous premonition became even more apparent. Was the person in front of him really that greedy and tricky guy?
What did he mean by saying he knew… What exactly did he know?
Mu Chen suddenly realized he was at a disadvantage. He couldn’t follow up without revealing his own identity.
“I also know why you’re here,” Ling Mo added.
At this point, Mu Chen finally understood. This man wasn’t trying to bluff him…
“So…” Mu Chen asked a crucial question, “Who are you, exactly?”
Before Ling Mo could answer, Mu Chen continued, “You’ve tied us to you, helped train your team, and kept us under surveillance… You…”
“Holy!! Are you Ling Mo?” Mu Chen came to the realization himself.
As this idea emerged, Mu Chen suddenly recognized that many pieces of evidence had pointed to this conclusion, but he had completely overlooked them.
His initial encounter with Ling Mo had left him with a deep first impression, and when those details surfaced later, he had completely ignored them…
“Ah, ah, ah…” Roars began to echo in Mu Chen’s mind.
Ling Mo was shameless! Such a capable person, facing three strangers, he still lied and even robbed them!
Who would have thought that he, of all people, was that formidable guy from the rumors?
Could it be that he knew who they were from the very first meeting?
Thinking about it, that was indeed the case. His hesitation back then wasn’t because he was in a difficult position, but because he was thinking of how to take advantage of them!
Mu Chen gritted his teeth, “You bastard…”
“Don’t be like that, haven’t we been getting along quite well recently?” Ling Mo said with a smile.
“Getting along well my foot! I’ve been working for you!” The more Mu Chen spoke, the more frustrated he became, feeling like he needed to replenish his IQ.
Although there are always people who are deceived, living within a simple scam, oblivious to the many flaws – Mu Chen had always thought he wasn’t the kind of person who would just run off to send money to someone after receiving a phone call…
But now, he had deep doubts about himself. However, if there was anyone to blame, it was because he had perceived Ling Mo to be too cool and impressive, never imagining he’d be this sort of person…
He had never seen it coming!
