Chapter 1248: There Are Many Kinds of Popularity
Ten or so minutes laterâŠ
âSo, youâre saying the whole thing at the granary was also orchestrated by you all?â After listening to Fang Zhouâs âself-statement,â Ling Mo asked thoughtfully.
Fang Zhou hurriedly corrected with an awkward smile, âNo, no⊠It should be said⊠Chief of Staff Wang just went along with the flow. That Niepan captain, he was the one who took the initiative to approach and then negotiated with him. But they always communicated one-on-one, so I really donât know the details of their discussions.â With just a few words, he quickly distanced himself from the matter.
âIs that so? But come to think of it⊠using me as a bounty, then finding someone who wants to kill me and making use of them⊠thatâs actually quite a clever moveâŠâ After saying that, Fang Zhou kept a close eye on Ling Moâs reaction⊠Unexpectedly, this guy even smiled, âI didnât expect I was actually quite popular.â
âUhâŠâ How was he supposed to respond to thatâŠ
âBy the way⊠how did he get in touch with that Niepan captain? I imagine there must be some special channel, right?â Ling Mo asked, still smiling.
Fang Zhou felt a jolt inside⊠This guyâs perception was way too sharp! How did he know it wasnât just a chance encounter on the road!
Well, that possibility was indeed a bit lowâŠ
But did he really have to look at me with such a certain, scrutinizing gaze!
âWellâŠâ Fang Zhou really wanted to say he didnât know⊠He hadnât even negotiated any terms yet! But under the gaze of more than a dozen murderous eyes, he braced himself and answered, âChief of Staff Wang⊠has his own people in Niepan. But!â He hurriedly added, âI donât know exactly whoâŠâ
âI seeâŠâ Ling Mo smiled, âHe really does have quite the networkâŠâ
Fang Zhou watched Ling Mo cautiously, secretly wondering what this guy really meantâŠ
âAbout Chief of Staff WangâŠâ
Just as Fang Zhou was about to ask, Ling Mo said, âAlright. Letâs leave it at that. I have a general idea about Chief of Staff Wangâs situation, and any other questions can wait until later. Tonight⊠we still have unfinished business.â
âUnfinished business?â Fang Zhouâs mouth twitched. What could be more important than his own life? But soon, he noticed everyone else had lowered their heads⊠and Ling Moâs gaze toward him suddenly turned icy coldâŠ
âMy companion, where is he?â Ling Mo asked.
Fang Zhouâs heart skipped a beat⊠Crap, he almost forgot about thatâŠ
No wonder⊠Ling Mo had used his hand to kill everyone else without hesitationâŠ
âI⊠Iâll take you there.â Fang Zhou answered through gritted teeth. His panic suddenly intensified⊠Just as Ling Mo had said, he was starting to see a vast expanse of despair again⊠áčđÎá»ÊÎsÌ©
âOnly by doing everything possible can I survive!â Fang Zhou thought to himself.
After finding the pilotâs corpse, everyone fell silent for a whileâŠ
âBury him,â Ling Mo said in a deep voice.
At this point, everyone had long since lost the concept of burying corpses⊠But this place was indeed different. A dead city, no Zombies⊠just letting him lie here was clearly inappropriate. It wasnât like usual; now they had plenty of time to handle this.
After hearing Ling Moâs words, the group silently carried him into an abandoned sedan. When the car door closed, Xia Na and the other Female Zombies gave a hard push, sending this special âcoffinâ crashing into a shop.
With the sound of shattering glass and a cascade of building debris, a makeshift âgraveâ appeared. The group stood outside, staring silently at the blocked-up shopâŠ
âUm⊠we didnât touch the helicopter, itâs still parked up there. We searched and checked it once, then just left it.â Fang Zhou said cautiously. Although no one looked at him on purpose, as a former enemy captain, he could already feel the chilling murderous aura swirling around him. The atmosphere was oppressive, and it was hard for him to bearâŠ
As for whether it was really just left there, only he knew for sure.
âThe one who really killed him was that Wang guy,â Mu Chen shot him a cold glare and suddenly said in a muffled voice.
Fang Zhouâs heart skipped a beat, only then realizing everyone was now looking at him with unfriendly eyes. Fortunately, after Mu Chenâs words, the group looked away again.
He quickly sneaked a glance at Ling Mo, only to find Ling Moâs face was expressionless, which made him even more nervous: âYeah⊠even the one who killed him directly, heâs alreadyâŠâ
âWhat contact method did Chief of Staff Wang leave you?â Ling Mo interrupted him directly.
âItâs⊠the Communicator,â Fang Zhou answered quickly.
âAlrightâŠâ Ling Mo still didnât look at him, but continued, âContact him now.â
âCon⊠contact?â Fang Zhou was a bit stunned⊠Was this guy so angry heâd lost his mindâŠ
But judging by his personality, he didnât seem like such an impulsive personâŠ
âDo it!â Ling Mo finally shot him a cold glance and growled in a low voice.
Fang Zhou shuddered inwardly and nodded, âIâll do it.â
He only looked calm on the surfaceâŠ
But actually being in the midst of all these enemies, how could he possibly stay calm?
His reaction now already said it allâŠ
âIâll do itâŠâ Fang Zhou took a Communicator out from his inner pocket.
This Communicator clearly hadnât been used much; not only was it kept close, but it was also wrapped in a waterproof bag.
âBut what should I say to him?â Fang Zhou asked again.
âJust tell him⊠youâve already killed the target,â Ling Mo said, âbut one escaped.â
At the first half, Fang Zhouâs expression changed, but he still looked as if it was âwithin expectations.â But at the second half, he was a bit confusedâŠ
Why say that?
Trying to lure Chief of Staff Wang out? But even if one escaped, he wouldnât come out to hunt them down, would he?
If he said everyone was killed⊠maybe thereâd be a chance to hide and then get close to him⊠But leaving one alive, wouldnât that just make him more alert!
âWith all due respect, this plan mightâŠâ Fang Zhou couldnât help but try to remind him. He was now, after all, in the same boat as Ling Mo⊠Even if he couldnât guarantee he wouldnât be thrown overboard later, at least he didnât want to sink so quickly!
âJust do as I say,â Ling Mo said.
âWhat if he asks who escaped?â Fang Zhou asked.
Ling Mo glanced at the people around him and said, âJust say you donât knowâŠâ
âDonât know? What kind of answer is thatâŠâ Fang Zhou was completely baffledâŠ
