Chapter 1325 – Changing Clothes Play
At this moment, Xia Na leaned in behind her, timely displaying her special skill.
She spoke in a low, eerie tone, “We’re going to let you go now, but you have to behave. If you accidentally make any noise, then I’ll have to show you what it really means to be obedient, understand?”
The strange tone, accompanied by a gentle breath, made the female officer’s body tremble slightly, then she slowly nodded.
Ling Mo finally relaxed, but before letting go, he added, “Don’t turn around.”
If you see so many Zombies, you’ll be scared to death…
Sure enough, the female officer didn’t turn her head. She took a deep breath, then asked softly, “Ling Mo?”
But before Ling Mo could answer, she answered herself, “So it really is you. What are you here for?”
Ling Mo was slightly surprised… Her first question wasn’t how he got in.
This woman was indeed very smart, knowing that some questions would only make things awkward, so it was better to selectively ignore them.
“It’s like this, Qianrou…”
Su Qianrou’s whole body trembled instantly. With Ling Mo pressed right up behind her, this close contact and his gentle tone immediately gave this female officer a very strange feeling… as if she was reliving those things that had happened with him before.
And, shockingly similar, she had also been coerced back then…
She even recalled some details that made her breath quicken and her whole body go weak…
For a moment, Su Qianrou was a bit annoyed… What is this, is he planning to seduce her with his looks?
Though he did look pretty good. But as for being a handsome man…
“Qianrou, when I tried to contact you before, why didn’t you respond?” Ling Mo spoke again, immediately interrupting Su Qianrou’s train of thought.
Especially when he slowly moved in front of her, locking his deep eyes onto hers…
“I… I was…” Su Qianrou’s face seemed even more flushed than before, her once wary gaze gradually turning dazed, her ample chest rising and falling rapidly. “I… I was stripped of much of my real power. The Communicator was also… monitored, but I’ve been keeping an eye on your situation. Once I knew you were safe, I was relieved. Because as long as you’re still alive, I…”
But at this point, her eyes suddenly cleared. She looked at Ling Mo with a hint of anger, especially when she saw that half-smiling expression on his face, making her want to punch him: “What tricks are you playing on me!”
“Just a little ability.” Ling Mo smiled slightly, but thought to himself, he hadn’t expected that by tweaking his “killing with a glance” technique, it could have such an effect. Actually, it’s the same principle as psychic interference, just a gentler version. He’d just developed this little trick on the way here, and maybe it would make things go more smoothly in Falcon Camp. Speaking of which, Su Qianrou was his first test subject…
Using this on Zombies would be completely useless!
“Besides, I just made it easier for you to speak your mind.” Ling Mo looked meaningfully at Su Qianrou, “You said as long as I’m alive, you would what?” As he asked this, a mischievous smile appeared on his face, and the blush on Su Qianrou’s face seemed to deepen.
“I’d be able to unite Miracle Base.” In the end, she frowned and replied irritably. And before Ling Mo could say anything else, she continued, “Ling Mo, you should know the current situation. No, you probably know even more than I do. So… what are you planning to do?”
Ling Mo didn’t answer directly, but smiled slightly and instead asked, “How is Falcon now, really?”
Although he had already learned about this from Chief of Staff Wang’s assistant, who had become a Zombie, the assistant and Chief of Staff had different levels of information. The assistant might know everything about the assassination attempt on Ling Mo, but not necessarily the overall situation of Falcon. Conversely, for Su Qianrou, it was the same.
“Falcon now… although it’s developing well, but…” Su Qianrou bit her lip, finally saying the next words, “it’s a road to ruin.”
She looked up at Ling Mo and said, “Do you know why Falcon insists on killing you? For resources. Although Falcon is still barely getting by with food, their ammunition is running out. Back then, to seize more resources, Falcon expanded into X City, but now, for the same reason, Falcon is stuck in a quagmire…”
“Let me guess. The front line is stretched too long, they’re fighting on all sides, the Zombies are gathering in greater numbers, and Falcon’s ability to wipe them out is getting weaker and weaker. If this goes on, sooner or later the Zombies will break through the Protective Wall, right?” Ling Mo said.
Su Qianrou opened her mouth but didn’t speak.
“And it’s not just you and I who know this, those Zombies know it too. That’s why they’re not desperately attacking you, because they’re like patient hunters, waiting for you to run out of strength. As soon as you exhaust your last ounce of energy, they’ll pounce and tear you apart,” Ling Mo continued.
Su Qianrou gave a bitter laugh, her face looking a bit grim. “Even though you’re being harsh… that’s the truth. However, although Miracle Base is located in the wild outskirts and can transport supplies by Helicopter, so there’s no immediate crisis, if Falcon is destroyed, you all…”
“Let’s leave that question for later,” Ling Mo interrupted her with a shake of his head, then slowly lowered his head, leaned in close to her, and asked in a low voice, “The question now is, Qianrou, can you take us to talk to Falcon’s senior management?”
At this, he showed an innocent, harmless smile.
But looking into his cold eyes, Su Qianrou felt her heart leap into her throat, and she suddenly had a very bad premonition.
Yet in this situation…
“I… I understand.” In the end, Su Qianrou gritted her teeth and gave in.
But it wasn’t just Ling Mo’s “gentle” approach that made her yield; in that instant, she suddenly realized that even if she refused, no one could stop Ling Mo.
Since that’s the case, she might as well… might as well show some goodwill! Maybe there would be a chance for cooperation in the future!
In the moment she nodded, many thoughts flashed through Su Qianrou’s mind…
“What does a woman know?”
“Exactly! All she has is a woman’s soft heart!”
“Not killing Ling Mo? How could you understand, this is for the greater good!”
When Su Qianrou raised her head again, she took a deep breath and showed a faint smile. “Yes… for the greater good. So, this time, please go bravely to your deaths as well.”
Only now did she finally make up her mind…
And after shaking off the feeling of conflict she’d been carrying, Su Qianrou immediately felt much lighter, and her thoughts became clearer than before. “Come with me, it’s very hard to find the Command Headquarters on your own.”
After saying this, she glanced at Ling Mo, gave him a meaningful smile, then turned and walked ahead without looking back.
Ling Mo watched the woman’s back and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. As expected of a strong woman… Although he’d just suppressed her with psychic power and presence, she’d already regained her composure so quickly and taken back the initiative, at least for now.
But Ling Mo didn’t mind this; after all, she was the host here…
Besides, this woman’s performance was indeed clever-so clever it was almost startling.
That smile she gave, wasn’t it just saying she knew about those people behind her who couldn’t be shown in public?
“Wait, that sounds a bit ambiguous…” Ling Mo quickly corrected himself.
With a wave of his hand, all the Zombies immediately followed quietly, sticking close behind Ling Mo like shadows…
A few minutes later, a fully armed group swaggered out of a warehouse.
“Attention! At ease!… You guys have no idea what those words mean, do you?” Ling Mo put on an act, then sighed helplessly.
Although these Zombies were all dressed in military uniforms… especially Xu Shuhan, Yu Shiran, Ban Yue, and bat-these four were even dressed like bio-soldiers, wearing masks-but this group of temporary actors really didn’t have any soldierly bearing at all.
But in terms of numbers, they did look like a Squad.
Su Qianrou followed them out, the shock still not gone from her face.
She never expected there would be so many people!
After a few months apart, Ling Mo’s ability to lure people had improved again…
And these people looked… more than half of them didn’t seem threatening at all.
For example, one pretty girl who looked familiar-her name was probably Ye Lian…
She was clearly out of it!
Even her clothes were put on by Ling Mo…
The moment she thought of how Ling Mo shamelessly said to her, standing at the door, “Please look away, I want to change their clothes myself. By the way, is there a men’s changing room inside?”… Su Qianrou felt her scalp tighten.
Just imagining so many girls stripped bare, with Ling Mo standing alone in the middle, touching here and there…
“What am I thinking!” Su Qianrou quickly shook her head, then glared at Ling Mo in embarrassment and annoyance. It was all this guy’s fault!
“Alright, with so many new people suddenly appearing, even as Chief of Staff, it’s inevitable that someone will ask questions. There’s a meeting tonight anyway, so let’s not delay-just come with me.” Su Qianrou made a prompt decision.
Her meaning was obvious: the longer they waited, the higher the risk of Ling Mo and his group being exposed. So whatever Ling Mo wanted to do, it was best to act quickly.
This suggestion also matched Ling Mo’s own thoughts, so he nodded, indicating no objection.
“Then follow me.” Su Qianrou took a couple of deep breaths, then led Ling Mo and the others onto the main road.
Falcon Camp was built by directly cutting through the city, so inside it was like an incomplete small city, with most people coming and going via wide roads.
As soon as they got on the road, they saw quite a few people coming their way…
“Because there was a sudden disturbance at the Protective Wall, a lot of squads are heading over there…” Su Qianrou explained in a low voice to Ling Mo, who was walking beside her. But before she finished, she suddenly realized something. The disturbance had just happened, and Ling Mo’s group had slipped in… How could it be such a coincidence?
“This madman.” As Su Qianrou pondered, she pieced together most of what had happened. Although she didn’t know how Ling Mo had caused such a big commotion, he always had his ways. From being an ordinary superhuman at the start to now, hadn’t enough miracles happened around Ling Mo?
“Unfortunately, in the face of increasingly intense crises, anyone, even him, is still insignificant… That includes those Advanced Zombies as well.” Su Qianrou thought a bit pessimistically.
“Chief of Staff!”
Many people would stop and salute when they saw Su Qianrou, though most did it perfunctorily.
Ling Mo watched coldly, thinking to himself that she hadn’t lied-she was so ostracized that even the people below dared to treat her like this…
Some of them couldn’t help but glance at Ling Mo and his group, but Ye Lian and the others kept their heads down, their hat brims pulled low. Although these people were a bit suspicious, they didn’t ask any questions.
However, just as Ling Mo thought they could get through like this, Su Qianrou suddenly tensed up, then quickly whispered to Ling Mo, “Crap, the Chief Commander is up ahead.”
“Chief Commander?” Ling Mo was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.
That name was on the list!
The current Chief Commander of Falcon-Yao Haidong!
At this moment, Su Qianrou was still speaking anxiously: “This man is a superhuman, a staunch conservative, and one of the original founding Team Members. You could say he’s elder statesman level. Ever since Miracle Base became independent, these elder statesmen, who were already part of the violent faction, have started to take on even more powerful positions. First they brought in Chief of Staff Wang to sideline me, then this man took over as Commander, and even became the Chief Commander of the entire Falcon Camp. That’s his basic info, but what’s really important is that he’s extremely difficult to deal with. Be careful…”
Before she finished, Su Qianrou had already straightened up, her face showing a timely mix of coldness and disgust as she looked at the approaching Yao Haidong, her steps never faltering.
Ling Mo, meanwhile, kept his expression unchanged, giving Yao Haidong a faint glance.
This man looked to be approaching middle age, but was still full of energy. Only his tightly pressed lips gave him a hint of meanness, making him appear both authoritative and somewhat gloomy.
Compared to Yuwen Xuan, who was a madman whether as a person or a Zombie, they were completely different types.
As the two sides drew closer, Yao Haidong revealed a hint of amusement early on.
But Su Qianrou didn’t look sideways; as she passed by him, she snorted coldly, then brushed past without even turning her head.
However, just as Ling Mo and the others were about to walk past him, Yao Haidong suddenly spoke.
“Wait a moment.”
