Chapter 1341: I Wont Eat, Im Just Looking
Ten minutes later, an excited voice rang out outside Ling Moâs door: âExcuse me, is the Chief Commander available now? There are two guests who wish to see him!â
The door was opened by Yu Shiran⊠Itâs not that this Zombie Loli was willingly acting as Ling Moâs secretary, but rather because she really wasnât used to being among crowds⊠This place was like a giant buffet, with delicacies walking around right in front of her, completely defenseless. Over the past few days, she had silently ruined several sofas. And since she had spent more time by Ling Moâs side, she was the more restrained one.
As for Ban Yue and the others, Ling Mo simply arranged for them to go up to the rooftop to breathe some fresh air.
Even so, he had cleared out all personnel from the building, leaving only the squirrel and other Researchers. And even they were restricted to the basement only.
This actually made Ling Moâs prestige in this new Base even higher⊠People who act differently always seem more mysterious.
But the people visiting him today didnât think so. As soon as the door opened, Gu Shuangshuang couldnât wait to speak: âCaptain, youâve become a hands-off boss againâŠâ
But halfway through her sentence, she stopped, because the cute little girl in front of her was drooling as she stared at her. In Yu Shiranâs words, if you canât eat, just looking is fine too. But when she looked, this kind of gaze and expression might scare others-whether that was a concern was no longer in the scope of consideration.
âYouâre very pretty, can you help call Ling Mo out?â The woman in the Tight Leather Suit behind Gu Shuangshuang stepped forward, breaking the bizarre scene. She was Lucy, who had helped Ling Mo transport supplies many times, but had never met the one responsible for searching for supplies-Ling Mo himself. Even just following behind to harvest, Lucy and the others were deeply shocked. These places were clearly occupied by Zombies, especially one spot that was practically a Zombie nest, yet Ling Mo still managed to clear them out.
If it werenât for him paving the way, Miracle Base alone probably couldnât have taken these warehouses. Thanks to these supplies, the Base was able to quickly reorganize and upgrade its combat strength after Ling Mo took down Falcon. Moreover, the continuous food supply made this new Base more vibrant than ever.
Lucy admired Ling Moâs actions immensely, so whenever she had the chance, she couldnât wait to come see him. But why was the door opened by such a strange-looking little girl? The drool at the corner of her mouth, the wild eyes, the odd smileâŠ
If she hadnât quickly stated their purpose, Lucy felt she might not be able to stop her imagination from running wild. Even scarier, thinking carefully, Ling Mo really might do something like thisâŠ
âHeâs in the Inner Room.â Yu Shiran didnât even think to wipe away her drool, nor did she shift her gaze to call out to the Inner Room. She didnât even take a step back to invite Lucy and the others inside.
But this self-talking voice was actually heard by someone in the Inner Room, more than ten meters awayâŠ
âWhoâs here?â
But the one who came out wasnât Yu Shiran, but another little girl who looked even younger.
Black Silk, upon seeing the two of them, also started drooling⊠Actually, she was more able to restrain herself, but since she and Yu Shiran were symbiotes, she could practically feel the same way.
Next was Li Yalin⊠The Senior Sister wasnât much better in this regard, but at least she managed to say: âI remember you two. Havenât seen you for a while, youâve become a bit more delicious. Ah, too bad Xia Na and Ye Lian arenât here, otherwise theyâd be happy too.â
âYouâve become prettier too.â Lucy was stunned for a moment, then said. Delicious⊠thatâs quite a metaphorical word, actually just means âsexy,â right? Lucy thought so. Also, these three girls were usually very introverted, but unexpectedly, they were so friendly and enthusiastic⊠ĆĐ°êȱBÄS
Gu Shuangshuang blushed⊠Although she admired Ling Mo, she never thought she could compare to the girls around him. Rationally, she thought so, but in reality, she occasionally felt a bit jealous. Hearing the compliment now, Gu Shuangshuang realized she was actually very happy, and felt embarrassed that such a pretty girl would praise her.
Li Yalin herself didnât think much of it. Her first reaction was to use the Consciousness Web to tell everyone: âTwo superhuman humans, they look really tasty. Do you want to come over and watch to satisfy your cravings? Ling Mo doesnât know yetâŠâ
Thatâs just how straightforward Zombie thinking is⊠The first one on the âgroup send listâ to receive the message was Ling Mo, who hurried out to end this extremely bizarre scene.
âLucy?â Ling Mo was taken aback, then greeted her.
Lucyâs expression was rather odd as she said, âHavenât seen you for a while, youâre still the same as ever. Especially when it comes to girls.â The last sentence was clearly suggestive, but she said it in a teasing tone. Ling Mo didnât catch the meaning, so he could only laugh awkwardly. Well, the situation had become even stranger than before. If heâd known, he wouldâve just let them all come watchâŠ
Gu Shuangshuangâs eyes instantly turned red, and unable to control her emotions, she rushed over and hugged Ling Mo. âCaptain.â
When she let go, Lucy, feeling it would be awkward not to hug him too, stepped forward and hugged him as well. âLong time no see.â
At first, her tone had been somewhat distant, but with this hug, time seemed to stretch out without them noticing.
It really had been a while since theyâd seen each otherâŠ
It wasnât until Gu Shuangshuang beside them started showing a strange expression that Lucy suddenly realized and hurriedly let go of Ling Mo.
âActually, it hasnât been that long. Iâve been thinking about you all,â Ling Mo smiled, steering the conversation in another direction. âWho brought you up here?â
âAn Officer⊠huh? Where did he go?â Gu Shuangshuang was still excited by the words âthinking about you,â and nervously glanced into the corridor, but the entire corridor was empty.
Ling Mo frowned in puzzlement, then shifted the topic again. âYou came at just the right time. Lucy, I was planning to have you train the superhumans, split the combat teams and hand them to Tom, and as for Miracle Squad, you could work with them to form a specialized elite teamâŠâ
ââŠIs that how you see us?â
But after listening to Ling Moâs explanation, Lucy was the first to understand that what Ling Mo was facing now was less and less time. The Base he had worked so hard to consolidate might be destroyed at any moment in the near future. By then, even if Ling Mo survived, he would be like a tree without roots.
But Ling Mo saw things even more seriously⊠If it really came to that, then Ye Lian and the others, as well as himself, would become the primary hunting targets. What he had done so far was only the first step in preparation, and every step after this was a race against time.
So he didnât have time to think about anything else; everything he was doing now was to handle all of this.
Of course, with Ling Moâs personality, no matter how much pressure he was under, he could still face it with a smile. So when Lucy and Gu Shuangshuang showed extremely grave expressions, he smiled again and said, âRelax, youâll get paid. Donât look so much like Iâm exploiting you, okay?â
âPfft.â Gu Shuangshuang burst out laughing. Although the fear was still there, didnât the captain say so? At least they could still get their salaries.
Lucy also smiled slightly, then said, âI understand. Iâll make the most of every moment. By the way, what are you doing now?â
She was a bit worried about Ling Mo, because she could tell that most of what Ling Mo told them was only part of the truth. That was his habit-even if you knew he had many secrets, the best way was to ignore them, not try to find out. Lucy had known Ling Mo for quite a while and understood this well.
So she was just concerned, not pressing for answers.
Ling Mo was also very satisfied with Lucyâs cooperation, but he said, âIâm adjusting.â
Indeed, he was adjusting, adjusting to the best state to face the showdown that could erupt at any momentâŠ
As for this information⊠for now, he had only told those he trusted.
A Base could help him, but a Base shrouded in fear would only become a burden.
Now all he could do was wait. When that moment truly arrived, humanityâs resilience for survival would erupt once againâŠ
At the main entrance downstairs, Wu Pengfei had just walked out.
Looking at the busy scene outside, for some reason he suddenly felt relieved.
They were once friends, but now, itâs better to do what a subordinate should doâŠ
When he felt he could face him with a clear conscience, when he could thank him for his help back then with his head held high, heâd bring a bottle of wine and have a chat with him.
By then, maybe he could forget for a while about this terrible era, this despairing environment, and return to those wild, youthful days, talk about those girls, sneak a few puffs of a cigarette, and sigh, âHey, have you ever wondered what it would be like if the apocalypse came? Sometimes, when you think about it, itâs actually kind of exciting.â
âExciting my ass.â That was probably how that old friend would reply, right?
But back to reality, the one who didnât look forward to it was now standing at the very top of these thousands of Survivors.
âGood luck,â Wu Pengfei murmured, not sure if he was talking to himself or to that old friend.
At the same time upstairs, Ling Mo also seemed to sense something and looked out the window.
This gray sky-who knows when it will clear up?
