Chapter 1148: Weve Been Caught!

Earlier, inside the office building…

Yu Shiran walked carefully through the empty corridor, then cautiously pushed open the doors on both sides to look inside. After checking several offices in a row, she found the stairs leading to the upper floor ahead.

“Nothing found on the first floor…” Yu Shiran raised her left hand to her ear, muttering as if talking to herself, “Do you need me to go up to the second floor?”

“No, you’d better wait for us.” Black Silk replied.

“Hmm? Why? I can finish searching here by myself.” Yu Shiran asked in confusion.

“I just feel it’s going too smoothly… Besides, if something really happens upstairs, you’ll sell us all out.” Black Silk said.

“Ha…” Yu Shiran thought for a moment, then shrugged, “Alright, I’ll wait here.”

“The fool has successfully entered the office building. Nothing unusual found on the first floor for now, but if she gets into trouble on the second floor, we won’t make it in time to rescue her. So… it’s our turn to act.” Black Silk’s main body turned to Mu Chen and the others, speaking seriously.

“Okay!” The group of adults responded in unison. In fact, they had always been full of doubts and curiosity about these two little girls’ identities, but once they accepted the idea that they were companions, there was no psychological barrier to cooperating. Moreover, just thinking about the combat power Black Silk and Yu Shiran had shown, Mu Chen and the others silently gave up on directly questioning or probing them.

As for Black Silk, with the intelligence she displayed, trying to probe her was just asking for humiliation. And although Yu Shiran seemed a bit foolish… and her nickname was literally “fool,” she was extremely wary of anyone except Ling Mo’s group, and now even more so, to the point of “strangers keep away, acquaintances stay even further.”

There’s no way to ask!

“But… Loli as a creature is inherently full of mysterious appeal…” Yuwen Xuan, following behind, suddenly muttered as he watched Black Silk’s back at the front.

Everyone’s movements almost paused at the same time…

“I’m amazed you can make such a perverted declaration with a straight face…” Mu Chen said.

“Well, it’s not like his perversion is anything new… But… have Lolis really been classified as a separate species by perverts now?” Zhang Xincheng couldn’t help but ask.

Ye Kai, however, nodded thoughtfully, then explained under everyone’s scrutinizing gaze, “I’m considering it from a normal person’s perspective! For us… that kind of little girl really does count as a mysterious creature… I have no idea what to say to them…” he sighed.

Everyone fell silent for a moment… “Do you have a daughter?” Mu Chen asked.

Ye Kai glanced at him, then shook his head with a wry smile, “You think too highly of me, but unfortunately, I’m just like you-nobody wants me…”

“Really… Wait, who are you calling unwanted! I just don’t have time for romance…”

“I have a sister… probably about as old as those two put together, and the impression she left on me is also like the two of them combined.” Ye Kai’s tone suddenly grew a bit heavy, but also carried a hint of nostalgia. This was also the first time he had spoken about himself in front of his teammates. “She didn’t like talking to me much. Always kept her distance, very smart, but would occasionally smile at me… Sometimes I wanted to talk to her, but didn’t know what to say. But I always remembered, when we were little, she used to cling to me…”

“I know.” Yuwen Xuan picked up the conversation.

Ye Kai turned his gaze to him, then thought of Li Yalin, and immediately grinned, “Yeah, you have one too…”

“No, I mean I know that feeling of longing. Actually, I didn’t have many chances to be with family before.” Yuwen Xuan said.

Everyone was a bit surprised, not expecting Yuwen Xuan to have such a normal side, nor that the hot-tempered Ye Kai would have such moments of loneliness and sadness. ṙΑ₦օ𐌱Ɛʂ

“I see… But, people only learn to cherish after losing something. It’s a cliché, but it’s true. But you’re lucky, you still have family alive in this world, and more than one. As for me…” Ye Kai suddenly clenched his fist, not continuing.

Skinny Monkey and the others exchanged glances, but no one spoke again. At times like this, any comfort was meaningless… and they all understood Ye Kai’s feelings very well…

Some things… can’t be described just by regret and pain. For those of them still willing to fight, another emotion always existed, and that was… anger.

“This is… the irreconcilable conflict between humans and Zombies, isn’t it?”

At the front, Black Silk glanced back, thinking to herself, “Looks like Ling Mo’s idea really is naive. But then again… as a mutation creature like me, I probably have conflicts with both sides…”

“Hmm… this kind of triangular relationship really is complicated…”

Before long, the Black Silk Team had already followed the path Yu Shiran had taken earlier, climbing in through a window into the office building. From their vantage point looking out at the open ground, aside from the tall and short trees and wild grass, there was almost nothing else to see. Of course, they had no intention of really going over to look, since Ling Mo Team had entered through the front door precisely to cover them…

“But thinking about it, it’s only natural that Ling Mo Team would be the one to expose themselves. After all, in terms of combat power and survival rate, Ling Mo Team is higher than us…” Black Silk thought as she led the team to the stairwell.

But just then, Black Silk suddenly noticed something strange…

“Um…” The group stood at the stairwell, and Black Silk stared wide-eyed at the steps in front of her, muttering, “Where’s Yu Shiran?”

She could sense Yu Shiran… which was really just sensing another part of her own psychic power… but… she couldn’t see her…

As everyone looked on in astonishment, Black Silk suddenly raised her hand to cover her nose and said, “We’ve been caught! Everyone, stay where you are and don’t move!”

But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that the people around her were disappearing from her sight one by one… Black Silk spun around on the spot, and in the blink of an eye, she was the only one left…

“We’ve been set up, and I’m afraid this net was cast from the moment we entered the granary…” Black Silk covered her nose, frowning as she thought…
