Chapter 1249: Life Is Like a Play, All Depends on Acting

Although he was puzzled inside, Fang Zhou could only follow Ling Mo’s instructions.

Taking advantage of the brief moment while he was opening the Communicator, Yuwen Xuan couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Brother-in-law… ah no, captain, what are you…”

“Taking a gamble,” Ling Mo replied calmly.

Everyone already knew what the stakes were, but what about the method?

However, after glancing at Ling Mo, Yuwen Xuan didn’t ask further. He just nodded and said, “I understand.”

“I’ve connected…” Fang Zhou looked up, covering the Microphone as he spoke.

Everyone immediately turned their gaze to him in a rustle… Ling Mo said, “Let’s begin.”

Fang Zhou nodded. He first took a deep breath, then his expression gradually returned to a very calm state… Immediately after, when he let go and spoke, his tone had already become the same as when he talked to Ling Mo earlier. Only now, there was a trace more exhaustion and a bit of relaxation…

“Hello, this is Fang Zhou,” Fang Zhou said.

“…So strong!”

“In a sense, it’s really impressive!”

The members of Miracle Squad were stunned on the spot… Truly, life is like a play, all depends on acting!

As soon as this guy opened his mouth, he vividly painted the image of someone who had just gone through an intense battle! He even showed that faint sense of unease! If everyone closed their eyes, they probably wouldn’t be able to tell if it was real or fake!

Immediately after… Xia Na and the others, who had already pricked up their ears, also clearly heard Chief of Staff Wang’s voice coming from the other end of the Communicator…

“How did things go?”

Not just them. Even the other members of Miracle Squad vaguely heard some of it. This person’s voice sounded young, but was very steady, unhurried, with the air of someone long in a position of power.

But as soon as they heard this voice, everyone’s expression darkened… It was this guy. He had schemed against them…

Ling Mo felt it especially… Although his expression didn’t change, his fist quietly clenched…

How did things go… Such a casual question, but what it represented was his life…

Fang Zhou then replied, “The result is still pretty good…”

“What do you mean pretty good? Be specific,” Chief of Staff Wang still asked slowly.

“We’ve already taken care of the people… Also, we suffered heavy losses,” Fang Zhou said according to Ling Mo’s instructions.

“Mm… and then?” Chief of Staff Wang paused for a second, then asked again.

“Damn!” The hot-tempered Ye Kai immediately gripped his knife handle.

If the two sides were face to face right now, Ye Kai probably couldn’t help but rush up and start slashing!

What kind of attitude is this?!

Ling Mo is ‘dead.’ The real Boss of Miracle Base is ‘gone.’ And your reaction is just a single “Mm”!

“Our captain has been treated as what by you!” Gu Shuangshuang also bit her lip in secret. This kind of calmness supported by self-confidence… on this guy, it’s just annoying! R̃À𐌽ÓᛒЁ§

And not just Ling Mo, they were also among those ‘killed’! Not to mention anything else… After paying so much in cost and lives, you just end it with an “oh”?!

Go to hell! Everyone cursed in their hearts…

“One got away…” Fang Zhou wiped his Sweat as he said this. Even if they looked at him with annoyance now, everyone felt this guy was really in character…

“Got away?” At this moment, Fang Zhou’s tone suddenly became a bit surprised, and he seemed to realize it himself. After a brief pause, he returned to calm, “I see… then… who got away?”

“Not sure,” Fang Zhou replied.

“Is that so…” On the other end came the sound of Chief of Staff Wang lightly tapping the table. After a while, he finally spoke again, “I understand.”

“Then now we…” Fang Zhou first let out a light breath, then hurriedly asked.

But before he finished, Chief of Staff Wang continued, “I’ll think of something, let’s leave it at that for now. Gather the remaining people and start searching.”

“But I…”

“Contact later.” After saying that, Chief of Staff Wang had already cut off the connection.

Two seconds later, the anxious and unwilling look on Fang Zhou’s face suddenly disappeared. He looked up, somewhat incredulously, at Ling Mo: “How did you do that?”

“What?”

“The change in his tone,” Fang Zhou continued in disbelief, “I’ve followed him for so long, and all I know is that he’s become more and more unreadable, rarely showing any emotion like just now. But you just had me say ‘someone escaped’… and he reacted so strongly? But think about it, the person who ran isn’t you, nor anyone important, just some character whose name I don’t even know…” At this, he glanced at everyone. “Sorry…”

“But the point is, for someone like that to escape… why would he still make follow-up arrangements for this situation!” Fang Zhou really couldn’t figure it out.

Mu Chen and his group were also surprised… but for them, it was more of a satisfying turn of events.

Serves you right for pretending! Couldn’t keep it up for even a minute, huh!

Ling Mo looked at Fang Zhou and smiled, saying, “Looks like you don’t know your superior as well as you think… Compared to that, he seems to know you better.”

“What do you mean?” Fang Zhou was a bit stunned.

But Ling Mo didn’t answer him, instead turning to the others and saying, “Now that we’ve taken the granary… the people coming to support us should arrive soon… You all stay here and wait to meet up with them. As for the other armory, later you…”

“Wait!” Gu Shuangshuang interrupted Ling Mo in shock, then anxiously asked, “Captain, what do you mean by that?” But by the last few words, her voice had already softened. That reaction… seemed a bit too much, didn’t it?

Luckily, the others didn’t notice this detail… They all looked at Ling Mo, waiting silently for his answer.

Ling Mo glanced over everyone, showing a slight smile as he said, “You all heard it just now… If a large group goes to cause him trouble, it’ll probably alert him, right…”

“Uh…” Everyone fell silent.

A few seconds later…

“No, wait… Hey, that’s just an excuse you made up on the spot, isn’t it!” Mu Chen shouted.

“Yeah!” Ye Kai and the others immediately reacted… This doesn’t sound like something that was planned at all! The tone is way too casual!

“Tch, you found me out…” Ling Mo said.

“Don’t act all nonchalant like that!”

“That just makes you more punchable!”

“Yeah! But Ye Kai, you’ve never beaten the captain, have you?”

“Why are you suddenly picking on me! Is that really the point right now!”

“Just saying it offhand…”

“Damn!”

Seeing everyone arguing, Ling Mo, surrounded by the group, suddenly felt a strange sensation…

This must be… what real companions are like…

Thinking of Chief of Staff Wang’s indifferent tone… and his attitude of treating these companions as cannon fodder, Ling Mo’s fist clenched tighter and tighter…

“Yes, my previous plan… was to separate from you all on the way to the armory. Because there’s something I have to do alone, no matter what. And now, it’s just that there’s one more reason. Of course, since the situation has changed, the armory can only be left to you. I think, this is the most important thing I need to ask of you right now…” Ling Mo suddenly spoke with a serious expression.

Some people wanted to protest when they heard the first half of his sentence, but when they saw Ling Mo’s eyes, everyone fell silent again. Clearly, this unreliable captain was serious this time…

“Captain…” Zhang Xincheng spoke up in the silence, “Let us ask you for one thing too.”

“Go ahead, as long as I can do it…”

“You have to stay alive,” Zhang Xincheng continued.

Everyone nodded solemnly as well… Yes, stay alive, as long as you stay alive…

Ling Mo was stunned for a moment… then suddenly laughed, reaching out to pat Zhang Xincheng on the shoulder, then giving Mu Chen and the others each a punch: “Alright, in that case, let’s all do our best. You guys have to succeed!”

“…”

Everyone fell silent again, then suddenly…

“Why is it just ‘do your best’ for you, but for us it’s ‘you have to’!”

“Yeah! And you’re the captain! Set an example, will you!”

“Well… time’s a bit tight…”

“Hey, you’re running away already!”

“Don’t let him get away!”

“At least stay the night!”
