Chapter 1144: The Hidden Third Person

“Alright, fool, you go first.” Black Silk turned to Yu Shiran and said.

“Okay.” Yu Shiran nodded.

“She actually agreed so cooperatively…”

“Who would’ve thought, compared to us, she trusts the one who calls her a fool even more…”

“If you looked in the mirror, you wouldn’t be so surprised.”

“Hey, what do you mean by that!”

The Zombie Loli had already changed direction, crouched low, and dashed toward the wall. Just as she was about to crash into it, her body suddenly paused, and then she vanished from this side of the wall.

Clearly, she had successfully entered the granary.

“Next, we just wait for the signal.” Black Silk turned her head and said.

Click!

Yu Shiran landed on a clump of bushes, breaking the thorny branches as she touched down. The Zombie Loli’s eyes cautiously scanned her surroundings, instantly turning red.

After five seconds of silence, she gently shook her head, then reached up and pressed her temple.

“How is it?” A voice sounded in her mind. To be precise, it “rang” out, because its source was inside her own head.

“No one.” Yu Shiran replied.

Outside the wall, Black Silk nodded thoughtfully… Indeed, judging by the noise Yu Shiran made when she landed, if anyone were nearby, they would have been alerted. And those five seconds were enough for them to come check, or use various methods of sensing.

But Yu Shiran had sniffed, looked, and Black Silk had released her psychic power, yet there was no response at all.

If there really was no one here, fine. Otherwise, those people were extremely cautious. And the latter was not good news for them.

“What should I do now?” Yu Shiran asked.

“Continue. And stay alert.” Black Silk said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized-maybe this was the biggest obstacle they faced right now…

Paranoia.

But even worse, they had to keep it up…

“This way, they’ll waste more energy. And by staying on high alert, they’re more likely to make mistakes. That’s the plan that lets us predict the outcome, isn’t it?” The woman looked at the captain and asked. ŔàＮŐ𝐁ƐŜ

The captain was dumbfounded… Was this really the Wen Xiaoyu he remembered?

Just then, a faint creak sounded in the darkness.

As a beam of light swept in, another figure appeared at the doorway.

The captain’s gaze immediately shifted-the newcomer was Liu Yang, a team member he was quite familiar with. He still remembered, on the first day they came here, Liu Yang and Wen Xiaoyu stayed outside to handle the vehicles.

So… Liu Yang was in on this plan too?

But the captain didn’t ask-because at that moment, Liu Yang’s look toward him seemed far from friendly…

Liu Yang stiffly twisted his neck, looked at the captain, and said, “They’re in.”

“In…” The captain immediately straightened up.

He drew his pistol and said, “Good. Since they’re already here, don’t let them leave.”

“Wen Xiaoyu, Liu Yang, relay to everyone. Take your positions, we’re ready to move.” The captain said.

After the captain left, Liu Yang looked at Wen Xiaoyu.

The two exchanged a glance, then both twisted their necks, striking identical poses. Even their expressions were eerily similar.

“Why hand over command to him?” Liu Yang asked.

“Because his decisions are more human, which helps us cover better.” Wen Xiaoyu replied.

“But he’s starting to suspect.” Liu Yang said.

“But he’s not stupid, so he’ll keep quiet, maybe even give himself an explanation. Even if not, his hunger for credit will make him ignore these things for now.” Wen Xiaoyu said.

Liu Yang fell silent. The two looked at each other for a while, then nodded together:

“That’s it…”

This strange, almost self-talking conversation seemed to have no third listener…

But what they hadn’t noticed was that, outside the door, inside a box piled with junk, a communicator was blinking green again and again. After about a dozen flashes, the light suddenly went out…

Unless someone was deliberately watching, no one would notice this communicator again…

“Bzzz–“

X City, Falcon headquarters.

As a busy tone sounded, Chief of Staff Wang slowly put down the communicator in his hand.

He interlaced his fingers, a faint smile slowly appearing on his face.

“Interesting…”

A few seconds later, he suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply.

The door immediately opened, and his female assistant walked in.

“Notify them, the action plan has changed.” After speaking, Chief of Staff Wang couldn’t help but chuckle, “This time, Ling Mo and the others are dead for sure.”

…

“Huff… huff…”

The captain walked quickly forward, glancing back from time to time.

After confirming that no one was following, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Then he looked down at his palm.

All sweat…

“Is it really worth being this nervous…” The captain thought to himself, a bit self-mockingly.

That communicator was supposed to be used at the very end… but now…

“What’s done is done, no point overthinking. Even if I didn’t spot any flaws, caution never hurts. Maybe… the Big Boss is guarding against me…” The captain gritted his teeth.

“I’m doing this just to live a better life…”

When someone handed him the communicator, they also brought Chief of Staff Wang’s words.

Use it or not, the choice is yours. Though it only lasts thirty seconds, if you use it, I’ll be grateful…

“Thirty seconds… that guy really is cautious.” Thinking back, the captain couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

“No choice, only Falcon can rival Miracle Base. If anyone’s to blame, it’s the Big Boss for being so vengeful, thinking of revenge on Ling Mo instead of developing the camp. He doesn’t realize, Falcon has a real army. If we have to go against Miracle Base, I’d rather pick a stronger backer.”

The captain slowly tightened his fingers, gripping the pistol handle.

“If I can take out Ling Mo, Chief of Staff Wang will be more than just grateful, right? The more risks I take, the greater the rewards. Instead of living on the edge forever, why not gamble for a promotion! Besides, someone is paving the way for me now!”

As he silently recited this to himself, he had already steadied his breathing and walked slowly forward… Just as he turned the corner, a figure appeared before him.

The captain exhaled calmly, then said sternly, “You, come with me.”
