Chapter 1250: So, Should We Kill One Now for Fun?

Ling Mo and his group ultimately decided to stay… That night, they stayed in the room temporarily cleared out by the Falcon Squad. For Fang Zhou, this was truly a complicated experience…

But what made him feel even more conflicted was Ling Mo’s arrangement… What exactly was this guy trying to do?

“Ling-Ge, what are you really thinking?” In the room, Xia Na asked the same question.

After pressing Ye Lian into a chair and making her sit properly, Ling Mo skillfully helped her change clothes while answering, “Well…”

“Wait, let me guess first.” A red glimmer flashed in Xia Na’s eyes as she showed a hint of interest. “From your behavior, Ling-Ge… it seems you think that Chief of Staff Wang doesn’t trust Fang Zhou?”

Ling Mo nodded and said, “Correct. Think about it, everyone else we’ve encountered was unyielding to the death, but Fang Zhou surrendered. Do you think someone like Chief of Staff Wang would make such a low-level mistake? No matter how I look at it, there must be something wrong here.”

“So… Chief of Staff Wang sent Fang Zhou out even though he knew there was something wrong with him… But why? Wasn’t this operation arranged very carefully? For Chief of Staff Wang, he should have wanted to kill us in one strike…” Xia Na speculated with a frown.

Ling Mo said, “That was exactly what puzzled me the most before… But after hearing Fang Zhou’s description of Chief of Staff Wang, I started to understand. No… actually, the key is still Fang Zhou. According to him, Chief of Staff Wang is a very smart person, young but very shrewd and calculating. But how could such a person not see through Fang Zhou’s true nature? After thinking it over, there’s only one reason. He did it on purpose.”

“By deliberately pretending not to know and sending Fang Zhou out, Chief of Staff Wang’s motives are nothing more than twofold: one, this person will try to kill me for power; two, if the assassination fails, this person can use his personality and value to the senior management to defect to me. That way, he gets the best of both worlds.” Ling Mo sighed with emotion at this point. “This Chief of Staff Wang is truly cunning…”

“So the opponent even calculated this step… In that case, the information Fang Zhou has is probably all fake?” Xia Na asked gloomily.

Just thinking that there was such a troublesome opponent outside eyeing Ling Mo made Xia Na’s teeth itch. Too bad he was too far away, otherwise she’d let him know what it meant not to mess with a zombie…

Li Yalin’s reaction was even more direct. While sharpening her nails with the Snake Kiss knife, she giggled and said, “I heard that if you want to know if someone is lying, you just have to take out their heart and have a look…”

“Pa!”

Ling Mo casually slapped Senior Sister’s perky butt. “There’s no such way to tell!” He turned back and buttoned Ye Lian’s collar as she stared wide-eyed, continuing, “All fake? No, that’s not it. Fang Zhou is more self-important than truly smart, but he’s not that easy to fool. If Chief of Staff Wang tried to feed him only fake information, it would be easy to slip up. But if he tampered with some important, secret details, it would be easy for Fang Zhou to believe them.”

“This Chief of Staff Wang really went to great lengths to deal with me. He even deceived his own subordinates. Think about it, if Fang Zhou himself believes what he’s saying is true, what flaws could I spot? If he hadn’t made a single careless mistake, and if we hadn’t not only avoided any losses but even captured two of his members first… we might really have been fooled. All I can say is, he calculated everything perfectly, but still missed one thing.” Ling Mo sneered coldly. “And that’s the variability of people.”

“Those two team members couldn’t betray him… but their attitudes and different reactions already revealed a lot. No matter how clever Chief of Staff Wang’s schemes are, that’s something he can’t control.”

Xia Na thought for a moment and asked, “So Ling-Ge, do you mean to turn his trick against him? But from what I’m hearing… it doesn’t sound like that’s what you’re planning.”

“Indeed, it’s not.” Ling Mo smiled and nodded. “Because this guy is even more troublesome than that… If he can scheme this far, he might be able to go even further. No… not might, but definitely. Fang Zhou knows too much, with both truth and lies mixed in. Whether I try to turn his trick or not, I could still fall into his trap. The other side can afford to lose dozens of people… but I don’t have that many pawns to sacrifice at will. Sigh… some people are just willful…”

Hearing Ling Mo’s sigh, Xia Na couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. “As if you don’t have anyone at your disposal. It’s just that you’re different from Chief of Staff Wang. He treats these humans as pawns to climb higher, while you just want a backup.”

“Yeah…” Ling Mo put away his smile at her words. What he wanted was indeed just a human backup… you could call it planning ahead. So in the end, he only kept a Miracle Squad by his side. Once this squad returned to Miracle Base, they would be Ling Mo’s core eyes and ears in this base.

Not to mention, just the spoils from these warehouses and their subsequent control were enough for them to gain a firm foothold. This was also Ling Mo’s best way to completely control this base. Anyone else, even if they knew the locations of these warehouses, couldn’t get the goods with such minimal cost, let alone with Ling Mo’s efficiency.

This was Ling Mo’s greatest advantage for now. But wanting to become a power and having this kind of development ability meant conflict was inevitable. Ling Mo was mentally prepared for this; he just didn’t expect the other side to act so quickly. ȓ𝒶𝐍ο₿Êṡ

But just because the other side was decisive didn’t mean Ling Mo would be intimidated…

How many people know X City is about to fall into chaos? What do humans need to do to survive this catastrophe again? These… not only do others not know, Ling Mo doesn’t know either. But his idea is simple: as long as he does his best to keep himself and those around him alive, that’s enough. And to achieve this, he needs to gain a firm foothold as quickly as possible…

“You want to gamble, I’ll play along… Let’s see who wins in the end…” Ling Mo thought to himself.

Xia Na then asked, “Since you’re not turning his trick against him… then Ling-Ge, why did you have Fang Zhou say that? I feel like Chief of Staff Wang wouldn’t believe Fang Zhou’s story. I don’t know why, but I just have that feeling…”

“Even I ‘died,’ but somehow an unknown nobody escaped… Of course he won’t believe it. But at the same time, this is also different from what he expected…” Ling Mo raised his eyebrows. “If I wanted to turn his trick, what should I do?”

“Um… either pretend everyone died, or find a way to lure him out. But if only an unknown nobody escaped… that shouldn’t be enough to lure him out…” Xia Na was speaking when suddenly she looked as if she had an epiphany and exclaimed, “I see! It’s exactly this kind of scheming human who would fall for this! Because he can’t figure it out! And anything he can’t figure out, he’ll pursue to the end! Only then will he really come out of his shell! So… Ling-Ge, you want… to set up a decapitation strike?!”

“No…” Ling Mo showed a hint of coldness. “He’s just a representative of that group… His death will be the first, but not the last. Now that the base is secure, anyone eyeing my head, I’ll send them to the next world before me. As for the Spider Queen and the others… I have other plans. Everything… it’s time to settle accounts…”

Ling Mo’s expression at this moment was filled with a sense of killing intent and coldness…

A few seconds later, Li Yalin’s slightly expectant voice suddenly rang out: “So, should we kill one now for fun?”
