Chapter 1145: High-Profile Entrance, Low-Profile Ambush
While undercurrents were surging inside and outside the granary, Ling Mo and his groupâs actions were also fully underway.
Almost at the same moment Yu Shiran jumped over the wall, Li Yalin, as the Vanguard of the Ling Mo Team, also slipped quietly into the granary, sticking close to the Iron Door. Not far behind her, Ling Mo and Xia Na, along with the other three, followed closely. Or to be precise, one human and three Zombies, including a quasi-dangerous element with unstable condition, a strange girl who seemed both human and Zombie, and a timid one who looked normal from behind but wore an anti-UV mask on her faceâŠ
This combination really defies all logicâŠ
âSo thatâs it⊠This is what you call a high-profile entrance to cover up your true intentions, huh?â Xu Shuhan watched Ling Moâs group with a twitch at the corner of her eye, thinking to herself. Their movements were indeed very cautious⊠but whatâs the point of stealth when thereâs no cover around at all!
However, this situation lasted for less than ten meters, because as soon as they crossed the gate, they quickly dashed behind the parked vehicles. Only then did Xu Shuhan sense a subtle change in their state.
âAlright⊠That stretch just now should be enough to attract their attention.â Ling Mo crouched behind a sedan, speaking in a low voice.
âHey, this still isnât quite what I imagined!â Xu Shuhan couldnât help but ask, âI get your intention⊠but that was way too high-profile! Even a ghost could tell somethingâs off! Theyâll guess what weâre trying to do.â
âThatâs exactly what we want them to know.â Xia Naâs face revealed her signature eerie smile again, and as soon as Xu Shuhan glanced at her, she couldnât help but shiver. This wasnât evolution-level suppression. It was evilness-level suppressionâŠ
It seemed Ling Mo hadnât been perfunctory with her⊠That Xia Na, who looked obviously human, really only appeared by chance.
The old Xia Na also had her serious moments. But that âcloser toâ human feeling was completely different from what Xu Shuhan had just seen. If the former was the âfirst edition,â then the latter was like a perfected version.
It was like⊠Xia Na before mutation. Although Xu Shuhan hadnât known her back then, she had a feeling-that was exactly what Xia Na was like as a humanâŠ
âIf they want to ambush us, weâll just confront them openly. Even if we canât force them to act in the open, we can at least minimize the disadvantages for us. They know what weâre going to do next. And so do we, so whatever they do next, weâll counter move for move on equal footing,â Ling Mo said.
Xu Shuhan thought for a moment, then nodded, âI get that. So whatâs our next step?â
âStall for time, then sneak in.â Ling Mo looked toward the Dormitory Building.
The two teams acted separately and didnât enter the building at the same time. For opponents who already had the environmental advantage, this was clearly a hassle. But conversely, Ling Moâs group could use this method to make up for their disadvantage.
âIf there really are eyes watching us around here, then Iâm sure they wonât be able to hold back for long. This is an open scheme. If we donât give them a chance to ambush us all at once, theyâll have to risk exposure and make a move early. No matter which team they go after, the other team can prepare in advance. Of course, if thereâs actually no one here, or if the Survivors donât intend to fight us, that would be best,â Ling Mo continued.
As he spoke, they had already moved a short distance between the vehicles. These vehicles were just as theyâd observed from outside the gate-completely abandoned, nothing special about them. Some of the truck beds still had piles of rice bags, but after a year, theyâd long since become infested and moldy.
In the past, Xu Shuhan would have felt a pang of regret, but now, seeing this, she felt nothing. In fact, as she felt nothing, she couldnât help but think to herself, âIf I were still human, Iâd probably think this was such a wasteâŠâ
At this thought, Xu Shuhan froze for a moment: âSo this is being a Zombie⊠Even though I know what Iâd feel if I were still human, thatâs all it is-knowing. If I try to recall that feeling, itâs completely impossible.â She glanced at Xia Na and the others, âThey must be the same, right? Or maybe even worse⊠Maybe they canât even imagine being human anymoreâŠâ
Thinking this, her gaze toward Ling Mo grew more complicated: âI know I should understand him⊠Even though I canât do it now, I know I should think that wayâŠâ
Pa!
Just then, a soft sound came from between the vehicles.
Several Female Zombies immediately turned their heads sharply, looking toward the source of the sound. Ye Lian reacted the fastest-almost instantly, her eyes shifted into Kaleidoscope mode, her pupils contracting as her gaze locked precisely onto a specific vehicle. á±ĂÉŽÎáÎs
Such judgment and reaction were clearly a cut above Xia Na and the others.
In fact, even a split-second improvement like this could make a huge difference in actual combat. The gap between Senior Zombies and common zombies was precisely the accumulation of these subtle differences.
So performance like Ye Lianâs was already a huge improvement.
But at this moment, aside from Ling Mo, who Sensed something, everyone elseâs attention was completely focused on that soft sound.
âOver there!â Ling Mo quickly pointed to what looked like an ordinary abandoned truck.
But just as everyone held their breath and watched closelyâŠ
Clatter clatter clatter⊠some grains of rice spilled out from behind a truck.
Xu Shuhan immediately let out a sigh of relief: âPhew⊠scared me, it was just a leaking rice bagâŠâ Saying this, she turned around and continued walking toward the Dormitory Building, muttering, âLooks like your method really did lower the danger, but weâre still inevitably affectedâŠâ
âNo⊠this is too much of a coincidence! Everyone be careful⊠Host Xu, your flank!â Ling Moâs voice suddenly came from behind.
Although Xu Shuhan was still talking, her Zombie instincts werenât affected. She instinctively felt a sense of danger and immediately shifted her body to the side.
But⊠she was still a bit too slow.
Whoosh!
Xu Shuhan watched helplessly as a cold gleam swept across toward her, but with her physical abilities, she could no longer dodgeâŠ
Life and death, in the blink of an eyeâŠ
