Chapter 1269: The Ruthless Fake Death
At this moment, Ling Mo had already figured it out. He glanced at Zhang She and suddenly revealed a slight smile.
âI donât think youâre someone whoâs willing to risk your life for others⌠Everything youâve done is for yourself, isnât it? By now, you should know what intelligence I want most. Whether you tell me or not is up to you. Iâll give you one minute to think about it.â
After he finished speaking, he lit a cigarette for himself. In all this time, Ling Mo hadnât had many chances to quietly enjoy a smoke. But who would have thought that when he finally wanted to relax with a cigarette, it would be in the lair of a Progenitor Zombie.
After deducing Chief of Staff Wangâs intentions, Ling Mo couldnât help but feel a surge of excitement. It was just a deduction, so it might not be right⌠But it was precisely this feeling of a contest between both sides that made Ling Mo feel this thrill. He knew he couldnât afford to be wrong⌠and wasnât the other side thinking the same?
If weâre talking about advantages and disadvantages⌠compared to Chief of Staff Wang, his biggest weakness was that most of his actions were reactive, while Chief of Staff Wang had set up a game that pressed him step by step.
âBut isnât that also his weakness! Heâs placed too many Pawns, so among them, there are bound to be some with problems!â Ling Mo thought to himself.
During this minute, Zhang Sheâs expression looked tormented. His initial thoughts had been interrupted by Ling Moâs beating, and Ling Moâs current attitude gave him a very strange feeling. What on earth did this guy mean!
Watching as Ling Moâs cigarette was about to burn out, Zhang She finally spoke up in his struggle: âI can⌠atone for my crimes by meritorious service.â After speaking, his eyes suddenly became confident, and he looked at Ling Mo in silence, waiting for his reaction.
Everyone was stunned, looking at Zhang She in surprise. This guy actually still wanted to atone for his crimes?
After seeing their reactions, Zhang She should have been very clear that begging for mercy wouldnât save his life. But if he could atone for his crimes⌠did he know how valuable the intelligence he needed to provide had to be?
It seemed that what heâd said before about âthe listâ and such was just testing the waters. The purpose was only to probe Ling Mo. If Ling Mo showed interest, he would keep what he was about to say as his trump card. But now, he had no choice but to lay his cards on the table.
Thinking back, Zhang She had seemed like just an ordinary Base Member, but now he could suppress his fear of death. Even after being beaten half to death by Ling Mo, he still didnât forget to leak information bit by bit⌠This extreme composure and calmness really made everyone present find it hard to believe.
No wonder, knowing full well how strong Ling Moâs group was, he still dared to betray Ling Mo. This kind of personâs mental fortitude and desire were just too strong.
But just as Ling Mo had said, for Zhang She, he had never considered himself anyoneâs companion; he was only serving himself.
Ling Mo was also taken aback for a moment, then sneered inwardly.
As expected, he hadnât guessed wrong!
In fact, as soon as he saw how calm Zhang She was, heâd already had a vague feeling⌠That sudden question was just to confirm his own thoughts.
âLetâs hear it,â Ling Mo suppressed his smile and asked expressionlessly.
âI know where Chief of Staff Wang will appear,â Zhang She said.
Everyone was shocked.
If that was true⌠then this really was atoning for his crimes!
No wonder this guy wasnât wailing even at deathâs door⌠What he was holding was, arguably, the heaviest card at the moment!
Ling Mo looked at him silently and asked, âHow do you know?â
Zhang She glanced at Fang Zhou and replied, âAfter separating from you, I kept following behind⌠Because Iâd seen the map, even if you used the Helicopter, I could find the location. Chief of Staff Wang told me my task was to keep following you after you made it out alive, and to make contact with the extra person in your team. SoâŚâ РâɴoÍβĂᚧ
âSo, after you left with us, you didnât have a tool to keep in direct contact with Chief of Staff Wang? Then the Communicator should be on the Helicopter, right?â Ling Mo asked.
Zhang She nodded without surprise, âYes, thatâs what I mean. To avoid being discovered by you, I had to keep myself completely âcleanâ. Even⌠you didnât know I had a Superpower. But itâs always easier to tamper with things on the Helicopter. And since we often split up, I could always find a chance to use it.â
âNo one in the Base knew you had a Superpower?â Ling Mo had already guessed this, but as a Pilot, it wasnât hard to hide it from Ling Moâs group, but to hide it from the whole Base seemed unlikelyâŚ
Zhang She became quite straightforward at this point. He shook his head and said, âThere was one. Although I rarely used my Superpower, he was the only one whoâd seen me use it. Later, when Chief of Staff Wang started contacting me, I took the opportunity during an external mission to get rid of him.â
Ling Mo turned to look at Yuwen Xuan and asked, âMadman, do you remember this?â
Yuwen Xuan thought for a moment and said, âI think a Pilot died on a mission once, and another survived. But that kind of thing isnât uncommon, so it didnât attract much attention.â He glanced at Zhang She and sneered, âYou really are ruthless. Eliminating a companion just to prevent the possible trouble he might bring you.â
Zhang She said with a straight face, âI just wanted to keep my own life in my own hands.â
Yuwen Xuan snorted and didnât continue.
âBut in reality, your Superpower is mainly for hiding your presence, right? When Wang approached you, he probably didnât expect your ability to be so suited for this kind of thing. But when you faked your death and escaped, what was that about?â Ling Mo asked. Hiding his presence⌠That explained how he could disappear from that sealed warehouse without a sound. It was just that no one knew he had a Superpower then, so naturally, no one thought in that direction.
Zhang She nodded and replied, âYes, my Superpower isnât offensive in itself. As for escaping⌠that was also arranged by Wang. He helped me choose a method that would never be suspected-faking my death. And for this, he even arranged for a superhuman to help me.â
âNot to help you⌠but to die in your place,â Ling Mo said with emotion, âChief of Staff Wang really went all out for the sake of making the act convincingâŚâ
