Chapter 1075: Another Pair of Eyes
The night seemed to have returned to tranquility once moreâŠ
Bang!
After closing the factory door, the nearly exhausted Ye Kai and others slumped to the ground. Xu Shuhan, who retreated into the factory with them, along with the still lively Black Silk, moved the prepared wet sandbags over to block the thin gap under the door. Although such measures couldnât stop those dark hands, they could temporarily hold off the small spiders scurrying around.
âEveryone, take this time to rest and replenish your energy. All we can do now is patiently wait here. No matter what, the enemy will definitely make a move before dawn. This kind of probing behavior probably wonât happen again. So the next time the enemy appears, it will truly be a life-or-death struggle,â Ling Mo said as he entered, immediately grabbing the backpack placed in the corner and taking out some dry food.
Zhang Xincheng also silently took out a bag filled with ammunition and dumped it onto the ground, saying, âThese are all the bullets we have left. Judging by the quantity, it should be enough for tonight. Since our real opponents are human, using guns can also give them psychological pressure and intimidation. They have spiders, we have guns; thatâs the balance of power.â
âYeah⊠I think they were hesitant to engage us directly before because they feared this,â Yuwen Xuan, who had collapsed with his arms spread out on the ground, couldnât help but interject.
âYes, but their idea of taking us down without injury has already fallen through,â Ye Kai snorted, adding a comment.
At this moment, Gu Shuangshuang walked over and picked up some food, saying, âIâll go deliver some to Xia Na and the othersâŠâ
âNo need,â Ling Mo replied, raising his head. Seeing Gu Shuangshuangâs puzzled look, he casually picked up a bottle of water, stood up, and asked, âHowâs Skinny Monkey?â
âHe seems a bit betterâŠâ Gu Shuangshuang replied with her head down, then continued, âThey havenât eaten for a while⊠Since youâre resting now, I might as wellâŠâ
âAlright, Iâll go check on him with you,â Ling Mo interrupted her.
Gu Shuangshuang paused for a moment, then nodded softly, âOkayâŠâ
Watching Ling Mo and Gu Shuangshuang head towards the depths of the factory, Xu Shuhan, who was distributing dry food, couldnât help but sneak a glance from behind her mask.
âThis guy⊠really goes to great lengths to avoid being noticed⊠Itâs a pity. The young girl just wanted to get closer⊠But even they have to be so cautious, people like meâŠâ She hadnât thought much before suddenly feeling a gaze from behind. Xu Shuhanâs scalp tingled, and she quickly turned her head, only to see Black Silk casting a meaningful look at her⊠For a moment, those eyes didnât seem human⊠âI didnât see anythingâŠâ 0.1 seconds later, Xu Shuhan quickly turned her head back, muttering to herself.
⊠After being moved into the factory, Skinny Monkey was hidden in a relatively concealed control room. Once the battle began, Gu Shuangshuang would also retreat here.
When Ling Mo and Gu Shuangshuang entered, the room was still pitch black, with only the faint sound of someoneâs breathing. Gu Shuangshuang turned on the flashlight, saying, âSkinny Monkey, the captain is here to see you.â
Skinny Monkey, who had been lying down, immediately struggled to sit up upon seeing the light.
âIâll have a few words with Skinny Monkey,â Ling Mo turned to Gu Shuangshuang and said.
Gu Shuangshuang immediately understood, leaving the food and flashlight behind, then took out another flashlight and retreated.
Under the pale light, Ling Mo slowly walked over and squatted beside Skinny Monkey. They exchanged a glance, and Skinny Monkey showed a slightly apologetic smile, âCaptain, Iâm really sorryâŠâ ÈđïŒźÎżđ±ĂÈż
âDrink some water,â Ling Mo handed over the bottled water, clearly not wanting to hear Skinny Monkeyâs apology, âThis has nothing to do with you; youâve done well enough. Iâm here to ask you mainly about another matterâŠâ As he spoke, his expression suddenly became serious, and his voice lowered, âHow much do you remember about what happened?â
Skinny Monkeyâs gaze flickered noticeably, and before he could speak, Ling Mo continued, âWhen you first woke up, I noticed your gaze seemed a bit off, right? Is your reaction related to what the Underground Progenitor said? There wasnât a chance to ask you then, and I also wanted to give you some time. So by now, I think you should have sorted it out. Donât worry, the enemy is coming soon, and I wonât force you.â
âThisâŠâ Noticing Ling Moâs somewhat weary eyes, Skinny Monkey felt like crying⊠This was worse than being forced! Asking about this at such a time was practically cheating! Could he really refuse after hearing such âunderstandingâ words? The opponent was about to go out and fight desperately! Could he really say âI donât know how to say itâ and still consider himself a person?
âCaptain⊠IâŠâ Skinny Monkey reluctantly began, but his first sentence was, âYou know, I trust you a lot⊠Even now! If it werenât for you, others would still think Iâm useless, a superhuman among the useless, which is even more despised than ordinary useless people.â He rambled a bit, his eyes constantly observing Ling Moâs reaction. Seeing Ling Mo only nod, he suddenly sighed and said, âCaptain⊠you⊠you have someone living inside you.â
Following the direction of his finger, Ling Mo looked down and immediately frowned.
What Skinny Monkey referred to was indeed his heartâŠ
The Underground Progenitor said he had a seed inside him, and when he first woke up, Gu Shuangshuang had also exclaimed, saying she saw another pair of eyes in his eyesâŠ
âWhat kind of person? How did you see it?â Ling Mo asked in a deep voice.
Skinny Monkey slowly organized his words, saying, âTo be precise, it wasnât me who saw it, but the Progenitor. At that time, it felt like I was in a long dream, often unable to control myself. When I saw the person inside you, I was in that state. It felt like I saw it with my own eyes, but I knew it wasnât me seeing it⊠Ah, Iâm a bit confused tooâŠâ
âSpeak clearly, whatâs the deal with the person living inside? Did you see their appearance?â Ling Mo pursued.
âThis⊠is hard to sayâŠâ Skinny Monkey replied, âActually, it wasnât visible at first glance, but appeared suddenly when the Underground Progenitor threatened you. At that time, all I could see was a pair of blood-red eyes, like a zombieâs. When it appeared, it seemed to be warning the Underground ProgenitorâŠâ No wonder he looked at Ling Mo with that gaze when he woke up; he wasnât afraid of Ling Mo himself, but those mysterious eyesâŠ
Eyes⊠Could his ability to see the nerve endings in the human body after evolution be because of these eyes? Ling Mo thought, suddenly lost in thought.
âThe Underground Progenitor wasnât clear on what it was either, but knew it was something that would grow slowly. However, it doesnât grow with the passage of time, but with your growth, CaptainâŠâ After revealing everything he knew, Skinny Monkey glanced at Ling Mo, unable to resist asking with curiosity and concern, âCaptain⊠what exactly is it? The eye color is red, and it can threaten the Underground Progenitor, could it beâŠâ
âIt should be my variation ability, probably unstable at the time. But since itâs my Subconscious, what form it takes and how it protects me, isnât that all normal?â Ling Mo quickly answered.
Skinny Monkey was stunned, and after opening his mouth, he realized the captainâs explanation⊠seemed quite reasonable! Although it felt like there were still issues, without finding any flaws, he could only nod and add, âAnyway, Captain, you should be careful⊠Although those eyes are protecting you, the Underground Progenitor said they harbor ill intentions towards you. I know the Underground Progenitorâs words canât be trusted, but being cautious never hurts⊠Havenât some movies shown self-destructive conflicts between personalitiesâŠâ
âBang!â
At that moment, a muffled sound suddenly echoedâŠ
