Chapter 1225: The Cycle in the Darkness
āThud!ā
As soon as Ling Mo finished speaking, a dull thud suddenly sounded nearby.
āBe careful!ā Yuwen Xuan and the others immediately drew their weapons.
Ye Kai, who was driving, suddenly pointed at the rearview mirror and said, āLook!ā
Ling Mo looked in the direction of the sound and happened to catch a glimpse of a figure retreating into the darkness.
He seemed a bit panicked and quickly disappeared from sight.
āLetās go check it out! You all stay in the car and keep watch!ā
Ling Mo quickly opened the car door and exchanged a glance with Mu Chen beside him.
The two of them jumped out of the car one after the other, and then Mu Chen swiftly drew his knife.
āCaptain, what do you think is going on?ā Mu Chen asked as he cautiously observed the surroundings.
āWhatever it isā¦ we just entered the town and already ran into something like this. It means the other side was prepared and waiting for us,ā Ling Mo said.
āThe other side?ā Mu Chen pressed.
āYeah, itās either Stella, Falcon, or Niepanā¦ā Ling Mo replied.
āDoesnāt sound like a big list of suspectsā¦ By the way, whoās Stella?ā Mu Chen asked.
Seeing Ling Mo roll his eyes, Mu Chen immediately lowered his voice and said, āIāll check the back.ā
āBe careful.ā Ling Mo looked ahead, especially to the front side. That figure had disappeared from there just now.
While they were getting out of the car, the buildings that had been within their line of sight had also completely vanished, as if the darkness was spreading to Devour everything.
Very quickly, the entire area was left with only them, the car, and the street ahead with extremely limited visibilityā¦
Judging from the condition of the street, it didnāt seem much different from when they had left.
A mess, garbage everywhere. Occasionally, there were bloodstains and all kinds of smashed debrisā¦
Ling Mo extended a few Tentacles, but when these Tentacles entered the darkness, he couldnāt Sense anything at allā¦
āStrangeā¦ā Ling Mo withdrew his Tentacles and frowned.
Since he couldnāt Sense anything from a distance, he could only go over himselfā¦
At the same time, Mu Chen was sticking close to the car, moving quietly toward the rear. He gripped his knife tightly in one hand, while the other fumbled for his Tactical Flashlight. ÅĆĪŠšÄSĢ©

A beam of light shot out immediately.
āThis is a bit creepyā¦ā Mu Chen muttered as he shone the flashlight around. But wherever the light reached, there was still only darknessā¦
āIf the light canāt penetrateā¦ that shouldnāt be possibleā¦ Anyway, I hope nothing even weirder happensā¦ā As Mu Chen spoke, the flashlight beam turned forward. Immediately, his expression grew even stranger. āUh-ohā¦ turns out there really is something weirderā¦ā
At this moment, Ling Mo had also walked out of the main area illuminated by the headlights. Here, he found a shallow round pit on the ground.
āA bullet hole?ā Ling Mo wiped the pit with his hand, then rubbed off the debris on his fingers. āPretty fresh.ā
That āthudā just now must have been related to thisā¦ But why didnāt the other side attack the car directly, and instead made such a noise and commotion?
āLure the tiger away from the mountain?ā Ling Mo immediately thought of this possibility.
But if thatās really what they were thinking, then theyāre making a huge mistakeā¦
The real tigers in this group are sharpening their claws inside the carā¦
āWill they be alright?ā In the car, Gu Shuangshuang asked worriedly.
āDonāt worry, they know what theyāre doingā¦ But, this place really does feel strange everywhereā¦ Weād better not act rashly. Letās wait for them to come back,ā Xia Na said, staring at Ling Moās back.
āOhā¦ā Gu Shuangshuang nodded, and judging by her expression, she was clearly not the only one in the car who was nervous.
Except for a few Female Zombiesā¦
Ling Mo didnāt rush to turn on his flashlight, but instead kept probing with his Tentacles as he slowly approached the darkness.
He released a large number of Tentacles, almost covering every direction ahead.
āIt just seems simply very darkā¦ Other than that, I canāt Sense anythingā¦ā Ling Mo waved his hand in front of his eyes.
Aside from himself, everything around seemed to truly disappear once swallowed by the darkness. Not only was there nothing to Sense, but he couldnāt even touch anything. For example, the flowerbed that should have been by the roadside, the building less than twenty meters awayā¦
This feeling made Ling Mo uneasyā¦ Logically, this wasnāt some black fog, nor did it have any special smellā¦ As for mental influence, he couldnāt Sense any for nowā¦
Even if this ādarknessā was something else, Ling Mo thought to himself, he couldnāt figure it out for nowā¦
And besides being very dark, there didnāt seem to be anything else worth discovering around here. That figure had long since disappearedā¦
āWaitā¦ā
After walking a few more steps, Ling Mo vaguely heard a sound from ahead.
āWhat is that noise? Seems likeā¦ Hm? No, canāt quite make it outā¦ā
Ling Mo stopped, tilted his head to listen for a while, then fixed his gaze in a certain direction.
Actually, in such darkness, it was hard for him to tell which way originally led whereā¦
āCould it be that figure from before?ā
But thinking carefully, that figureās build seemed vaguely familiarā¦
āWho could it beā¦ā
Ling Mo frowned as he thought, tensing his nerves and carefully walking overā¦
āBzzzzā¦ā
The sound gradually became clearer, but he still couldnāt tell where it was coming from.
Ling Mo glanced back. After entering this darkness, it was as if even he had been Devoured; the car was completely out of sight. He hesitated for a moment, but still didnāt stop moving forward.
āLetās check it outā¦ Otherwise, if I just go back, Iād only be waiting to dieā¦ā
After walking a bit further, Ling Mo finally began to hear more clearlyā¦ And the feeling of moving in the darkness was obviously quite unpleasantā¦ But just as he was making out the sound, a faint light appeared aheadā¦
āThereās light!ā Ling Moās heart leapt.
For light to suddenly appear in a place like this, it must be man-made.
At that moment, Ling Mo suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
āItās him!ā
It was the same figure Ling Mo had seen before, hiding in the darkness and cautiously approaching the source of the light.
āWhat does he want? Lure me over?ā
Ling Mo thought for a moment, then slowly followed.
But as the light got closer, the figureās movements also sped up. To avoid losing him, Ling Mo quickened his pace as well.
āMight as well try to catch him aliveā¦ā
Ling Mo made up his mind, shot a Tentacle forward, and then dashed after him.
But just as he was about to collide with the figure, the figure suddenly vanished.
As if he had melted into the darknessā¦
āThud!ā His Tentacle struck nothing.
āWhat the hell?ā
Ling Mo stood dumbfounded where the figure had been, looking around in shockā¦
If his eyes werenāt playing tricks on him, then that person had really vanished.
But how was that possible?!
āWhat on earth isā¦ā
Ling Mo looked ahead in confusion. At this point, he was already very close to the light sourceā¦
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Mo walked over quietlyā¦ And as he stepped out of the darkness, the scene before him made him freeze.
That wasā¦ a car that had just stoppedā¦
And the car door was being openedā¦
āLetās go check it out! You all stay in the car and keep watch!ā
A familiar voice came from inside the car.
Ling Mo finally snapped out of his dazeā¦
āWhat the hell!ā He quickly retreated back into the darknessā¦
Seeing another āLing Moā walking toward him, Ling Mo hurriedly retraced his steps, but just as he exited the darkness, he suddenly Sensed a faint movementā¦
āThud!ā
As Ling Mo dodged, he saw a shallow pit appear on the groundā¦
āDamnā¦ā Ling Mo mutteredā¦
