Chapter 1270: At Least Have a Kid First

“Die in your place?” Zhang She pondered for a moment, then nodded in understanding.

He even smiled and said, “That’s right. Since we’re putting on a show, it’s best to go all the way. But thinking about it, the situation back then was actually very favorable for us, because you were unconscious.”

“But how did you manage to avoid our… for example, Gu Shuangshuang’s Sensing?” Xia Na suddenly asked.

With her question, Li Yalin immediately showed a look of interest. Xu Shuhan glanced thoughtfully at Xia Na and nodded to herself.

That’s true. Even if Ling Mo was asleep at the time, the Zombies’ control over the scene wasn’t weak. Especially these Advanced Female Zombies…

Zhang She thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Believe it or not, when Chief of Staff Wang discussed this with me, he only promised he’d help me escape, but didn’t tell me any details.”

“Weren’t you worried?” Xu Shuhan finally couldn’t hold back.

Zhang She smiled again and said, “Unless, in that situation, my death would benefit him more than my survival, otherwise I had no reason to worry about that. What method he’d use, that’s his business. I only care about the result. You might think I’m a bit unreasonable… but to me, no matter what it is, only the result matters.”

“Just like now?” Ling Mo asked.

Zhang She looked at him and nodded seriously, “Yes, just like now. So you can rest assured, I’m not someone who does unnecessary things. You’ll soon know why I had to explain all this first.”

“When I got in touch with Fang Zhou, he didn’t know why I was approaching him. As I said before, my mission was only to meet with the extra person among you. From my observation at the time, he should be that person. Because your rejection of him was obvious. So I thought my intuition couldn’t be wrong. And after probing, it was indeed confirmed. Back then, Chief of Staff Wang told me that as long as I revealed my identity, this person would know what to do.” Zhang She continued.

Ling Mo turned his head to look… At this moment, Fang Zhou’s face had become quite ugly. He was still standing quietly in place, his wounds still oozing blood. But he had basically heard all of Zhang She and Ling Mo’s conversation, except for the part where Ling Mo deliberately lowered his voice…

Now, seeing Ling Mo looking at him, he sighed, was silent for a while, and then said, “He’s right. As soon as I heard he was sent by Chief of Staff Wang, I knew I had another way out. Wang always likes to make multiple preparations for the same thing, so I thought he must be another assassin arranged by Chief of Staff Wang in advance. But now, I’m not so sure.”

Fang Zhou’s tone was tinged with despair… Zhang She still had a chance to redeem himself, but this was Fang Zhou’s second time falling into Ling Mo’s hands. Especially Ling Mo’s unsurprised reaction, which made him feel utterly doomed.

“Yes, I didn’t expect the person he mentioned would actually be your captive. But Wang didn’t clearly tell me what I was supposed to help him with, so when he suggested teaming up against you, I could only go along. After all, I’m already ‘dead’, can’t go back to Miracle Base. And if the mission wasn’t completed, Falcon Camp probably wouldn’t take me in either. Honestly, at that point, I already felt like I was riding a tiger… If I hadn’t still had this information in hand, I would’ve tried to hide as soon as you broke through the second floor.” Zhang She said with a bit of self-mockery.

“Alright, I’ve explained everything now. So you should believe what I’m about to say, right?” Zhang She shifted his position, leaned against the wall, and continued, “Wang told me that after I met up with this extra person, I could go to a certain place to find him. In fact, this location was also given to him by me…”

“It’s here, right?” Ling Mo interrupted, asking.

Zhang She glanced at him and nodded, “That’s right… this is the place we agreed to meet.”

Fang Zhou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ling Mo in disbelief.

You have to know, when Ling Mo decided to come here, he didn’t know about this!

Could it be that the two of them were playing a game from afar, and even this could be deduced?

Ling Mo also smiled and said, “Maybe it’s not just a coincidence… But this way, he’ll really come here.”

“Really come? What do you mean? Are you saying… he wouldn’t have come originally?” Zhang She asked in confusion.

But Ling Mo didn’t intend to continue. He stood up, patted his pants, and said, “Go ahead, what’s the exact address?”

Zhang She opened his mouth, then said, “A spot by the mountain…”

“Wait…” Fang Zhou suddenly shouted.

His face flushed red, and he said nervously, “I… I can help you deal with Chief of Staff Wang…” Seeing Yuwen Xuan and the others staring at him like he was an idiot, Fang Zhou hurriedly added, “Even if he comes, he definitely won’t come alone! That guy has a severe case of paranoia. Even if you lure him here with a smoke bomb, he’ll be fully prepared… He…” ℞𝔞ŊốꞖÊṢ

“Enough,” Ling Mo interrupted him, saying, “The play we agreed on before still needs you to keep acting. And this time, I need both of you to cooperate in the act.”

“What do you mean?” Zhang She asked, not quite understanding.

“I need you to make sure he gets right in front of me,” Ling Mo said.

He had a hunch that Chief of Staff Wang would definitely come this time. After all, he had set up such a big game; there was no way he could resist seeing the outcome, especially when the result was so bizarre and shrouded in mystery. But just as Fang Zhou said, he would definitely stay highly alert.

It was very likely that he would remain in an absolutely safe place, confirming things from afar. With the manpower at his disposal, this was entirely possible.

So what could lure him to come in person?

“Me,” Ling Mo said. “Only me.”

Everyone was stunned at the same time… Did he intend to use himself as a decoy? Judging by his tone, even if it wasn’t that straightforward, it was pretty much the same idea.

Yuwen Xuan immediately frowned. “Brother-in-law, at least have a kid first…”

“What nonsense are you spouting all of a sudden!” The calm expression Ling Mo had been maintaining instantly vanished.

Xu Shuhan thought for a moment and also said, “This does sound a bit risky… That Wang guy wants your life so badly…”

But Xia Na spoke up: “Yes, and on this point, we’re the same as him. This is a rare consensus we’ve reached with him before…” She then gave a strange smile and said, “Anyway, I trust Ling-Ge. What I need to do is keep an eye on him when Ling-Ge hangs himself out on the hook as bait.”

“Do you have to express such moving words in such a deranged metaphor?” Ling Mo immediately broke out in a sweat and reached out to rub Xia Na’s head.

“I think so too,” Li Yalin said as she quietly leaned her head over as well.

Ling Mo had just given a wry smile and reached out his hand, only to suddenly see three heads…

“What are you two crowding in for without a word!” Ling Mo knocked both Black Silk and Yu Shiran on the head.

Yu Shiran let out a muffled grunt, while Black Silk looked up and said, “Oh, I actually came to deliver a message.” After speaking, she suddenly cupped her hand around her mouth like a megaphone and shouted, “I don’t know what you all have been up to, but I just kicked an invisible head on the road! Also, all the Zombies outside have rushed in!”

As soon as she finished shouting, she saw through the crowd the huge Progenitor Zombie. Black Silk immediately realized, “Alright, now I get it.”

Yu Shiran also noticed the corpse. She licked her lips and rubbed her fists eagerly, “Wow, eat…”

Before she could finish, a silver thread had already covered her mouth. Black Silk, who had acted, continued calmly, “We should go now. Are we leaving these two here? Judging by their meat, I think they could buy us two seconds.”

Just then, a faint sound came from below again, and at the same time, an even harsher scraping noise rang out from outside the building.

Hearing this, Xia Na and the others didn’t show much reaction, but Fang Zhou, standing there all alone, immediately looked terrified. Especially after hearing the word “meat,” he felt even weaker all over.

Fang Zhou shouted, “I’ll act, I’ll act! But can we hurry up and get out of here now?” Judging by his expression this time, it really didn’t look like he was faking it…

Well, anyone would feel fear at the thought of being torn to pieces by invisible Zombies at any moment, even watching their own flesh disappear bit by bit. No matter how strong your nerves, you couldn’t help but feel terrified.

“Let’s go.” Ling Mo didn’t even look at him, just said calmly.

“But where can we go now?” Yuwen Xuan walked over and calmly closed the door, then turned to ask, “This way is definitely blocked.”

Ling Mo blinked and said, “There’s definitely a way out…”

Two minutes later, Ling Mo and the others crawled out from the back door on the first floor. Except for Xia Na and her group, everyone else looked a bit dusty, with all sorts of unknown things hanging from them…

Yuwen Xuan spat and said, “This is the first time I’ve learned… you can actually dig a hole in the ground and run…”
