Chapter 496 – A Strange Encounter

“Wh-why?”

The middle-aged man didn’t want to be led by the nose, but with the other person pressing his head against the ground, he could only stammer out his question.

“Because, like you, he provoked someone he shouldn’t have.”

The words sounded very familiar, and at this moment, they carried a hint of mockery.

“What… what do you mean?”

The man under the hood clicked his tongue and shook his head, then suddenly lowered his voice, but spoke clearly to the middle-aged man: “Didn’t you want to skin me alive?”

Boom!

The words hit the middle-aged man like a heavy punch to the chest.

His eyes widened, and his body tensed.

He couldn’t forget the words he had said just a minute ago!

But this person in front of him…

“Who… who are you?!”

The answer was obvious, but even now, the middle-aged man still thought it was too absurd!

That figure who had gathered the attention of the entire corps, the one many considered a “trophy”…

Could he really be here, right next to him?!

And… this person in front of him looked exactly like Li Hao!

That’s right…

No one knew what his superpower really was.

Could a superhuman with mental abilities completely control another body?

As soon as this thought emerged, the middle-aged man felt like he had caught onto something…

But he still couldn’t believe it, until the man followed up with: “Didn’t you want me to watch as my woman died one by one in front of me?”

It’s him!

A tidal wave of fear immediately overwhelmed the middle-aged man.

Seeing this Li Hao, who turned out to be Ling Mo!

Nothing was more terrifying than this!

A powerful superhuman, if he hadn’t stood against the Air Force Corps, might have been someone they would strongly recruit.

But unfortunately, from the moment One-Eye pulled the trigger, their adversarial relationship was sealed.

The Air Force Corps only wanted to kill him to restore their lost honor, and Ling Mo would never accept their recruitment. From that moment on, their conflict was irreconcilable.

But someone who can control others, even using them as avatars…

Such a person, the middle-aged man would never allow to stay by his side, let alone become a member of the same faction!

If he can control others today, maybe tomorrow he can turn him into a puppet.

Although Yin Jie has a similar superpower, it has significant limitations. But this guy…

He couldn’t fathom how the other could control Li Hao and deceive everyone!

That gaze, like being stared at by a venomous snake, was probably not an illusion…

Thinking about how he had twice arrogantly proclaimed before Ling Mo how he would torture and kill him, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but tremble all over!

It’s too late… everything is too late…

When he said those words, Ling Mo had already set his sights on him.

And now, as the Air Force Corps suddenly fell into chaos, he seized the opportunity…

“Seems like you’ve figured it out…”

“You… you are Ling Mo! You are that damned Ling Mo!”

The middle-aged man struggled to reach out, as long as he could grab the walkie-talkie, as long as he could shout out a sentence… no, even just a few words would be enough!

“You’ve got some nerve, daring to come to our Air Force Corps. So, the information you provided was fake, wasn’t it? No… since the avatar is here, the main body can’t be far…”

The middle-aged man kept talking, trying to distract Ling Mo:

“Do you think you have the upper hand? You ignorant fool! To us, you are just trash, not worth the effort to clean up…”

“Oh…”

Ling Mo dragged out the sound, sneering: “You look down on ordinary people, but aren’t you relying on them too? Without those thousand regular soldiers, what are you so-called leaders?”

“What right do you have to look down on ordinary people? Because you have guns? Planes? What does that amount to!”

“What I can’t stand are people like you who think they are above others, who think they are superior in every way!”

“Trample you underfoot, and you’re still just garbage!”

“You really think it’s still the old days? Acting like a boss everywhere!”

Ling Mo’s scolding was delivered in a cold tone, yet each word hit the middle-aged man like a slap, leaving his face swollen.

His eyes reddened as he stretched his hand hard.

Almost there… his fingers were just about to reach!

“You… cough, cough…” The middle-aged man felt a surge of joy and cursed, “Bastard, keep boasting…”

But just then, he suddenly felt a release of pressure from above his head. Before he could react, a tremendous force slammed into his skull.

Seeing the blood pooling at his feet, Ling Mo sneered inwardly: “Idiot, I’m a mental ability superhuman. Did you really think I wouldn’t notice your little tricks?”

He swiftly jumped down, retrieved the walkie-talkie, and tucked the handgun into his pocket.

After wiping his shoes on the carpet, he walked out of the office as if nothing had happened.

Inside, the middle-aged man lay slumped over the desk, his blood staining the surface red.

As the door closed behind him, it was as if an invisible hand turned the small lock button inside, slowly rotating it.

Click.

The door locked, and Ling Mo pulled up his hood, moving towards his next target.

In less than three minutes, he had unexpectedly taken down one enemy.

Causing chaos outside the Air Force Corps and eliminating the main culprits inside.

These people were the real threats to him, the ones who had tried to kill him.

Bypassing the bayonets in their hands and directly attacking the ones wielding them, that was Ling Mo’s plan…

Holding the walkie-talkie, Ling Mo could track the locations of several people on his “must-kill list” through their conversations.

In just over ten minutes, this figure had entered and exited several offices.

No one noticed, and no one realized…

At this moment, Bighead was wiping the sweat from his forehead, running up the stairs through the corridor.

The sudden appearance of a zombie horde had caused significant trouble for the Air Force Corps.

As soon as the zombies entered the airport, they charged at the alert squad, picking up the iron pipes thrown earlier, and violently hitting the retreating, screaming soldiers, leaving their fate unknown.

Their speed was too fast, and they were much more cunning than regular zombies.

Now, zombies, under the cover of their kind, had approached the building, breached the strict defenses, and appeared in the lobby downstairs.

While they likely couldn’t storm up, this needed to be reported to the regimental commander immediately.

Moreover, there was a more pressing matter…

The convoy sent to hunt down Ling Mo had lost contact, and the aerial squad was encountering significant trouble…

The regimental commander needed to be notified as soon as possible, and Li Hao had to be captured immediately!

House arrest was too lenient for him!

However, just as Bighead rounded the corner of the stairs, a figure suddenly pounced on him from above.

Bighead barely had time to register the face before iron-like arms wrapped around his neck.

“You…”

He barely uttered a word before his neck was snapped.

Dragging Bighead up the stairs, Ling Mo opened the restroom door and pulled him inside.

But as soon as Ling Mo closed the door, he felt something was off.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around.

Next to the urinal, a man with a flushed face, apparently struggling with a clogged pipe, was staring at him in shock…

And to Ling Mo’s surprise, this man was his next target.

The boss of the Air Force Corps, the primary target of the decapitation strike, the regimental commander…

Ling Mo never expected to encounter this guy in such a coincidental and awkward situation…

This was just an avatar, and even Ling Mo’s main body didn’t have strong sensing abilities, let alone the avatar.

Zombies usually had a keen sense of smell, but Ling Mo wasn’t a professional zombie, and he was dragging a corpse that reeked of “human scent.”

If the regimental commander had actually urinated, he might have noticed, but the problem was…

In this bizarre and awkward situation, the two locked eyes for a moment, then the regimental commander’s gaze slowly shifted downwards to Bighead…
