Chapter 298 – Trash Deserves a Trashy End

After packing his bag, Ling Mo led Ye Lian and the three girls to Xia Zhining’s room.

This was a suite in a five-star hotel, serving both as Xia Zhining’s room and a gathering place for others during their free time.

Sure enough, the person who opened the door was Chen Youdong. Inside the room, Lin Tianxiang and others were seated, including Tom and Sun Zeya.

As soon as the door opened, Ling Mo sharply caught some words, indicating that they were discussing Huang Zhendong.

When Sun Zeya saw Ling Mo and Xia Na, she immediately looked uneasy, her cheeks slightly reddening as she turned her head away.

Xia Zhining, on the other hand, appeared calm. In her view, although the situation back then was a bit awkward, a loss was a loss.

“Um…”

Chen Youdong let Ling Mo and his group in and handed him a few bottles of water, apologetically saying, “I’m really sorry about that. Leader Huang has a sharp tongue. You must be really pissed off, right?”

“Not really. His words are harsh, but I just see it as him farting. But how did a guy like him become… a leader? Sounds like a pretty high position.”

Ling Mo asked as he sat down on the sofa.

Chen Youdong hesitated for a moment, but Tom, already fuming, spoke up, “Not exactly. He’s on the same level as us. But he’s part of the Intelligence Team, and everyone in that team is disgusting.”

“Intelligence Team?” Ling Mo asked curiously, “You mean… the ones collecting zombie intel?”

Chen Youdong initially wanted to stop Tom from continuing, but seeing Tom’s angry expression and recalling Huang Zhendong’s recent behavior, he sighed and remained silent.

Tom shook his head. “Hmph, isn’t it us who gather all that intel? The Intelligence Team collects information related to us. For example, whenever someone new joins the camp, they interrogate them. If they’re superhuman, they document their abilities in detail.”

His tone suddenly rose, and he said angrily, “But their main job is to monitor our actions! They claim it’s to maintain discipline, but to me, it just looks like they’re finding fault! Like this time, I think he really wants to pin the blame for the heavy casualties on us! The higher-ups will definitely come up with a way to calm everyone down, and they might even sacrifice us…”

“Ahem.” Chen Youdong couldn’t help but cough, reminding Tom to control his temper.

Tom glanced at him, then let out another heavy snort.

He still seemed unsatisfied and muttered under his breath, “What’s the big deal? It’s not like Ling Mo is going to snitch on us. And he could even testify for us.”

“Uh…” Ling Mo was momentarily stunned, then he spoke.

The internal situation at Falcon Camp was more complicated than he had imagined.

This Intelligence Team was clearly a product of internal power struggles.

Ling Mo couldn’t grasp the more intricate details, but it was obvious that both Huang Zhendong and the Intelligence Team were mortal enemies of the Search and Rescue Squad members.

They just didn’t dare to offend Huang Zhendong, fearing he might label them with something serious.

Ling Mo suddenly felt that his decision not to join the camp was correct, no matter how he looked at it.

As the old saying goes, where there are people, there’s conflict and strife.

“Humans…” Ling Mo glanced at Ye Lian and the others, suddenly agreeing with what they had said.

“That Huang Zhendong has a strong sense of revenge. If he catches you slipping even once, he’ll paint you as scum. He loves to overinterpret things, twisting a casual remark into multiple deep meanings. Even if you haven’t done anything, he preemptively labels you, saying you will definitely do this or that.”

Lin Tianxiang, wiping his glasses, sneered, “He can really drive people crazy.”

“People like him are just despicable.”

Ling Mo noticed that everyone gritted their teeth when mentioning Huang Zhendong.

It’s clear that even though such a person doesn’t resort to violence, he’s more disgusting than zombies devouring humans.

One word from him could make someone angry for an entire day.

At least Ling Mo wasn’t the kind of “master” who could remain indifferent, but he also wasn’t foolish enough to turn against Falcon Camp just because of a loudmouth.

Meanwhile, in the lobby.

Huang Zhendong, who was organizing some documents, closed his folder and called over a team member. “Guard these documents. No one is allowed to look at them. If I find any signs of tampering when I return, you can go back to the camp and start farming.”

“Yes, sir!”

As Huang Zhendong walked towards the restroom, the team member showed a look of disdain and spat, “What a jerk!”

“Aren’t you going to follow him?”

Another team member by the door gestured and asked.

“He won’t fall into the toilet. Why should I follow him? To bring bad luck?”

The team member rolled his eyes and mimicked falling into a toilet, causing the others in the lobby to chuckle knowingly.

By this time, Huang Zhendong had entered the restroom. He habitually closed the stall door and stood in front of the urinal.

Due to the lack of water, a strong, unpleasant odor filled the restroom.

Huang Zhendong wrinkled his nose and unzipped his pants to relieve himself.

But he didn’t notice that the latch on the window was slowly turning.

Once the latch was undone, the window silently opened by itself.

Then, a person climbed into the restroom without a sound…

“That Ling Mo… Oh, right, I remember now. He’s that worthless guy.”

Huang Zhendong muttered to himself, “Who would have thought he’d drag Li Yalin down with him. Trash is trash, even with a superpower, they’re just bigger trash. Collaborating with someone like that is like asking a tiger for its skin. It’s laughable that some people don’t understand this. When I get back, I need to have a serious discussion about this. Such people shouldn’t be left unchecked in the camp; they’re a potential threat and should be dealt with…”

As he zipped up his pants, a shadow suddenly flashed behind him.

Huang Zhendong instinctively turned around, but saw nothing.

However, he noticed that one of the stall doors seemed to be slightly moving, as if someone had just touched it.

“Who’s there?”

With a swift motion, Huang Zhendong drew his dagger and slowly approached the stall.

“Bang!”

He kicked the stall door open only to find it empty.

But just then, a figure leaped down from the high ceiling, landing on him from behind.

The immense force made Huang Zhendong lunge forward. Before he could turn around, the figure grabbed his head and shoved it into the toilet.

The stench made Huang Zhendong hold his breath. He kept his cool, though, and immediately stabbed backward with his dagger, plunging it into the attacker’s abdomen.

He viciously twisted the blade, trying to shred his attacker’s intestines and force them to let go from the pain.

But to his horror, no matter how he twisted and stabbed, the attacker didn’t flinch!

“This dagger is stained with zombie blood, and with such a severe wound, even if you don’t turn, you’re dead! Who are you? Are you Ling Mo? How did you sneak in here? How did you get past the patrol outside the hotel?”

Huang Zhendong shook his head vigorously, straining to lift it with one hand for support. “Do you want to die with me? If you kill me now, you’re dead too! Your women will die too! The camp will hunt you down! You scum!”

“Ha ha.”

The attacker’s voice sounded like a scratched tape: “You… you think… too highly… of yourself…”

Huang Zhendong froze and turned his head sharply, only to see an extremely terrifying face.

“Ahhhhh!”

His eyes widened in terror, but the attacker grabbed his neck and shoved his head back into the toilet.

He tried to call for help, tried to struggle, but the attacker’s grip was too strong, and the toilet water muffled his cries.

He kept stabbing the attacker behind him with his dagger, but it was all in vain.

Huang Zhendong’s eyes rolled back, and after a few spasms, he stopped moving.

“Glug glug!”

The zombie standing behind him looked down at its mangled, bloody abdomen, then turned its vacant, blood-red eyes toward the window.

Its unusually long and sausage-like arm shot forward, and with a sharp “bang,” it shattered the glass.

As the glass fragments scattered, the zombie’s eyes regained their frenzy.

“Quick!”

Several team members, guns at the ready, rushed towards the restroom…
