Chapter 835: The Bomb Disposal Prince
The moment Ling Mo rushed out of the mall, a loud, muffled boom suddenly echoed from behind, and the entire building began to shake violently. Amidst the rumbling sound, a massive plume of black ash spewed from the underground exit. However, Ling Mo and the two women had already dashed through the cloud of dust, emerging on a small patch of open ground dozens of meters away from the building.
At the instant of the explosion, Xia Na and Li Yalin simultaneously increased their speed. When they stopped, a flicker of red glimmer was seen in their eyes.
Xia Na slowly released Ling Moās arm and looked at the scene with some confusion, saying, āThis feelsā¦ more than twenty meters, right?ā She then glanced at the still trembling ground and continued, āItās probably within the range of twenty-five to thirty meters, judging by the decrease in the vibrationsā¦ā
āOnly you could switch to a nerd mode in the middle of an escapeā¦ā Ling Mo said, pressing his temple. āThat person deliberately narrowed the range a bit for safety, which is slightly different from what I expected.ā
āBut even if he blew up the entire building, it wouldnāt change anything, right?ā Xia Na rolled her eyes and said.
āTrueā¦ā Ling Mo nodded.
At that moment, Li Yalin turned her face to the side, sniffed the air, and said, āYe Lian is comingā¦ā Then, she licked her lips lightly, revealing a faintly bloodthirsty smile on her face, āAnd thereās another scentā¦ā
Just as she finished speaking, two figures came rushing out of the alley on the side.
Ye Lian held a gun in one hand and a young man in his twenties in the other. In stark contrast to Ye Lianās indifferent expression, the youth was pale and trembling uncontrollably. In a blink, Ye Lian reached Ling Mo, tossed the young man at Ling Moās feet, and her gaze slowly became unfocused.
āI brought himā¦ outā¦ā Ye Lian said with a sweet smile.
As soon as the youth hit the ground, he quickly struggled to get up. He wobbly glanced at the group, then fixed his gaze on Ling Mo, pleading in a low voice, āPlease donātā¦ donāt kill me! Iāve done everything I was asked to do! You allā¦ youāve ambushed me twice already, Iām begging you to let me go! This explosionā¦ I really donāt know what happened!ā
As he spoke, tears started streaming down his face uncontrollably.
The first time he was ambushed, the attackers knocked him out before he could even finish a sentence. Upon waking up, the first thing he saw was Ye Lianās gun barrel aimed at him.
Seeing the explosion in the building while Ling Mo and the others stood there unharmed, his heart grew even heavier with despair: āItās over, Iām the only one leftā¦ They promised to let me go after dismantling the bombs, butā¦ but how did it explode here! Although I wasnāt aware of the locations of these explosive points, even if things went wrongā¦ā He glanced at Ye Lian from the corner of his eye, thinking that he couldnāt understand how this girlās speed and strength were so remarkable, and how she could accurately locate the buried explosivesā¦
If it werenāt for this girlās assistance, no matter how fast his defusing skills were, it would have been impossible to continuously dismantle two bombs in such a short timeā¦ Yet, he dared not place the blame on Ye Lian. Though this girl seemed calm now, he knew all too well that it was just an illusion!
āEarlier, you said you were the team leader of the explosive ordnance disposal team?ā Ling Mo asked, staring at him.
The youth was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, āYesā¦ but this really isnāt my fault. Iām actually part of the second batch sent in, kind of like a reserve force, a reserve team leader! My task was basically to clean up any mess. If there were issues with the bombs previously set up, it would be my job to handle them. If nothing needed my attention, I would then be responsible for retrieving themā¦ But I truly didnāt know the exact locations of those explosive points! At first, I pointed this out to you all just to save my own skin! You have to believe me!ā
āTruly cautiousā¦ā Ling Mo thought, rubbing his brow.
Ling Mo temporarily set aside the fragments of the glasses manās memory. With nearly fifty yearsā worth of recollections, sifting through them wouldnāt be easy. Furthermore, diving in recklessly could cause mental confusion. Additionally, Ling Mo had a sense that this time the devour process was different; not only was the mental energy obtained distinct from before, but even the memory fragments were more complete than everā¦
āWhat exactly is the method that Falcon has mastered? I wonder if the answer can be found in the glasses manās memoryā¦ā Ling Mo pondered for a moment, then looked down at the youth and asked, āWhatās your name?ā
āZhang Chenghui! My name is Zhang Chenghui!ā The youth immediately saw a glimmer of hope, responding with a flushed face.
āWere you always doing this kind of work before?ā Ling Mo asked again.
āYes! Iāve blown up buildings, bridges, smashed big stones-you name it, Iāve probably done it at least eighty or a hundred times!ā Zhang Chenghui replied eagerly, then gritted his teeth to add, āIām a retired soldierā¦ā Åš¢āŠ¾ŠÄÅ
āThen you should stick with us for now.ā Ling Mo thought for a moment and said.
Whether or not this man was exaggerating, his skill in rapid bomb disposal was indeed impressive. Such technical talent was rare, so it would be better to keep him around for the time beingā¦
All the weapons on Zhang Chenghui were stripped off and tossed aside, leaving only a few bomb disposal tools, which Ling Mo kept.
āTake these.ā Ling Mo checked them over and casually threw them to Zhang Chenghui.
āHehā¦ donāt worry, as long as itās a bomb, I can defuse it. They call me the bomb disposal princeā¦ but if you find me useless, just let me go, I promise I wonāt say a wordā¦ā Zhang Chenghui muttered as he followed behind Ling Mo, clutching his toolbox.
He didnāt dare to speak to Ye Lian and the three girls, so he aimed his chatter at Ling Mo. He couldnāt understand why Ling Mo would want to keep him around, but even with a lot of courage, he wouldnāt dare think of escapingā¦
āJust treat me like Iām invisibleā¦ā Zhang Chenghui had just begun to murmur when the building ahead suddenly twisted, and four silhouettes unexpectedly tumbled out from the āwall.ā
Old Zheng gave Zhang Chenghui a surprised look, then quickly turned to Ling Mo and said, āFalconās support team has arrived! It seems like they were delayed a bit on the way here; they donāt look too good, and some are injuredā¦ Theyāre currently trapped in an illusion and are getting quite close.ā
āHow many are there?ā Ling Mo asked, feeling a stir within him.
The support teamās delay was naturally the work of Black Silk and her companions, but the fact that they managed to break free from the interference and get here so quickly made Ling Mo reassess their strengthā¦
āAbout twenty people, and thereās a very strong mental ability user among them, likely meant to deal with you. With this person present, my illusion wonāt hold much longer. Plus, their weapons and equipment are impressive. Engaging them in a place like this would put us at a disadvantage,ā Old Zheng continued, looking both anxious and somewhat exhausted.
āWhat about Wang Lin and Mu Chen?ā
āTheyāre still maneuvering, but with that mental ability user there, theyāre in dangerā¦ Ah!ā Old Zheng suddenly groaned in pain, his body shaking a couple of times, āI canāt hold on much longerā¦ā
āThat powerful?ā Ling Moās expression shifted slightly.
Having personally experienced Old Zhengās powerful illusions, Ling Mo knew their effectiveness could decrease with more people involved, but more people also meant stronger chain reactions from the illusion. The support team only had one mental ability user, yet they could cover about twenty people simultaneouslyā¦
āThe other members in the team are impressive too,ā Old Zheng remarked with lingering fear, giving Ling Mo a wry smile. āThey truly place a lot of importance on you.ā
āItās not me theyāre concerned about, itās that aerial power theyāre focused on,ā Ling Mo replied calmly.
āNoā¦ itās not just thatā¦ I overheard in the illusion that they are also very interested in you personallyā¦ā Old Zhengās eyes grew complicated, but he quickly regained his composure and continued, āSevenā¦ no, six minutes. I can only hold out for six more minutesā¦ Thereās no way out; Iāve already gotten involved in this, and even if I wanted to back off, Iād have to wait until we escape. Ling Mo, I hope you donāt drag me down. Whatever youāre planning, do it quickly!ā
āThatās enough time,ā Ling Mo nodded.
Old Zhengās hesitation intrigued Ling Mo, but he was even more curious about the seemingly powerful mental ability userā¦
Ling Mo then shifted his gaze to someone elseā¦
This person had been staring intently at him ever since emerging from the āwall,ā but it seemed like Ling Mo had only just noticed him now.
āBig Boss, you donāt look well,ā Ling Mo said with a smile.
The sunglasses man froze for a moment.
Not well? That was an understatement!
After parting ways with Ling Mo and the others, he had a faint premonition that something was off, but it was only just now that he confirmed his suspicionā¦
It wasnāt in-fighting or a betrayal of Falcon; it was that heā¦ wasnāt even part of Falcon!
The sunglasses man was completely dumbfounded. He hadnāt expected someone with no power or territory to dare to break into his Niepan headquarters and abduct Old Lan and his daughter, who he had painstakingly locatedā¦ Even more shocking was that this person had managed to provoke Falcon as well!
The only connection seemed to be the Second Camp!
āI actually handed over all the intelligence to himā¦ā
Intelligence aside, the sunglasses man didnāt believe Ling Mo could hold onto those resources, but thinking about his main body made him furious enough to spit blood! Imagining his ignorant main body targeting Falcon made the sunglasses man want to rush forward and tear Ling Mo to pieces!
āHe had nothing to do with it, but he made sure to frame me with a helicopter to cement the blame! Your ultimate goal was likely this, aside from planning your escape, wasnāt it?ā the sunglasses man thought frantically, his gaze toward Ling Mo growing even more furious.
