Chapter 516 – The Archive Room

No matter what Ling Mo’s intentions were, to Li Wei, he saved her life, rescued her friend, and brought them both to Falcon Camp.

A person like that couldn’t be someone who kills indiscriminately.

So, after the incident, she chose to keep it a secret and continued to observe the situation in secret…

For a timid person like Li Wei, it was an agonizing experience…

But seeing those high-ranking officials going crazy trying to find the culprit without any leads, this young woman not only felt relieved but also had a bit of a mischievous urge to laugh.

Turning A City upside down, then sneaking away without a trace, and even taking down the formidable Chief of Staff before leaving…

How could Ling Mo be so capable?

“I wonder what he’s doing now? If he gets into trouble, would he come to me for help?”

Li Wei thought to herself as she followed Su Qianrou into the conference room.

Several officers nodded slightly at her as they passed by: “Hello, Secretary Li.”

“Oh… Hello!”

Li Wei adjusted her glasses, revealing a shy yet proud smile…

But in the next second, this seemingly quiet young woman smiled, silently lagged two steps behind, and with a “click,” closed the conference room door…

…

“Captain, you’ve never been interested in management before. Why did you take the initiative to request the Air Force Corps this time?”

Zhang Yu sat opposite Yuwen Xuan, watching the captain leisurely flip through the list from the Air Force Corps, and couldn’t help but ask.

Yuwen Xuan lifted his eyelids to glance at him, then tossed the document in his hand directly over: “Exactly, so I’ll leave these trivial matters to you. We really do have a tacit understanding…”

“Who the hell has a tacit understanding with you! Stop dodging the question!”

Getting hit in the face with a document, Zhang Yu’s expression couldn’t be more annoyed.

“Sometimes, you need to have some power in your hands…” Yuwen Xuan sighed, pinching his chin and looking up at the sky.

“Cut the crap…” Zhang Yu interrupted him with a dark face.

“Alright,” Yuwen Xuan glanced at Zhang Yu, cleared his throat, and suddenly said in a casual tone:

“He said, I do. Our goals are the same, just to protect her. That’s enough.”

“Uh…”

The two stared at each other for a long time, then Zhang Yu suddenly lowered his head, holding his forehead and sighing, “Even though you look very serious, I didn’t understand a word you said!”

“Well, no matter what, I’ve already been dragged onto your pirate ship. This sneaky operation, although it was a major success, will inevitably arouse suspicion from the leaders. Moreover, you took the opportunity to make such a request…”

Zhang Yu said with a distressed face, “Even if I wanted to go back now, I’d probably be under watch.”

“You see things clearly, but aren’t you secretly enjoying it?” Yuwen Xuan laughed, “I’m the Commander-in-Chief now, and you’re the second-in-command here.”

“Being your second-in-command, do you think it’s that great? Have some self-awareness, will you…”

“You say no, but your actions say yes. Aren’t you already looking at the documents?”

“I’ll fight you one day…”

Just as Zhang Yu was about to lose his temper, Yuwen Xuan suddenly changed the topic, “What about the others on the ship?”

“So, you admit it’s a pirate ship now…”

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, “They’re all reliable and not fools. With Tom leading, they should all stay. We’re all tied to the same rope; loyalty won’t be an issue. The problem is the people the camp will send next… we’ll need to be cautious about them.”

“Those people can be dealt with easily.” Yuwen Xuan said nonchalantly.

“This guy says scary things so casually! No wonder they call him Mad Xuan…” Zhang Yu said, dumbfounded.

“They’ll be the ones with headaches. How many would dare come looking for trouble when they know I’m in charge? Ahaha…”

Yuwen Xuan supported his chin, showing an expectant look.

“Shameless and proud of it, that’s you all over!”

At this moment, Yuwen Xuan skillfully changed the topic again, “By the way, Tom went out with the Regimental Commander, right?”

“Right…”

Zhang Yu nodded and then couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, “That Regimental Commander…”

“Ahem…”

“Alright, I know I’m being nosy again…”

Zhang Yu glared at Yuwen Xuan and thought, I’ll just ask Tom later. He’s much easier to fool than Yuwen Xuan…

“Achoo!”

Tom rubbed his nose and shrugged his shoulders. “Someone talking about me behind my back?”

Tom frowned and looked at the Air Force Corps Regimental Commander walking ahead of him.

Now, this title probably needs the prefix “former.”

There were many things in this situation that puzzled Tom, but ultimately, it all boiled down to this Regimental Commander.

“Captain Yuwen is also… how can he let this guy run around freely…”

Tom clenched his fist in frustration and thought.

The two of them had now reached a very secluded corridor, with not a soul in sight.

The overhead lights were dim, and the doors on both sides of the corridor were all tightly closed.

For a moment, Tom even thought this guy might take the opportunity to escape, but then he remembered the Regimental Commander was unarmed while he himself held a handgun…

“If you dare to run, I’ll just shoot you!”

Tom grunted, having no goodwill towards the Regimental Commander: “He’s the one who ordered the hunt for Ling Mo…”

Back then, although Tom and Ling Mo were in a cooperative relationship, to Tom, Ling Mo was a friend who had saved his life.

In these times, emotions are both cheap and precious.

Some people, to increase their chances of survival, would push those around them towards zombies.

Others, to protect their comrades, would face danger resolutely and fight side by side.

Even if it was based on a transaction, Ling Mo had left a very good impression on Tom.

“Ah, here we are…”

The “Regimental Commander” seemed completely oblivious to Tom’s hostile gaze, looking up seriously at the door number.

“Room 6…” He turned to Tom and said, “Please wait here for me.”

“Humph.” Tom glared at him, then folded his arms and walked to the side. “Tsk, not running away… Captain Yuwen even told me to listen to him… If I secretly beat him up, it should be fine, right?”

The “Regimental Commander” could easily see what Tom was thinking.

“Your murderous look is too obvious…”

The “Regimental Commander,” or rather Ling Mo, took out the key he obtained from Li Hao, then opened the door.

Before entering, he glanced at Tom again and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

But at the same time, he felt a bit of warmth.

Tom’s hatred towards the “Regimental Commander” stemmed from his friendship with Ling Mo…

“There are ungrateful people like Liu Baodong, but there are also people like Tom… Damn, if only he didn’t like hugging people. Could he stop bringing that foreign habit to me!”

Ling Mo muttered to himself as he slipped into the room.

If he delayed any longer, what if Tom really pinned him down and beat him up…

Aside from the “6” on the door, the room had no other signs.

But after organizing the Regimental Commander’s memories, Ling Mo had a general idea of this place.

Usually, it was heavily guarded, and only a few captains and the Regimental Commander had access.

But now, with the upheaval in the Air Force Corps, who was left to guard this place?

Yuwen Xuan and the others were busy taking over, so Ling Mo decided to come check it out himself.

“Could there be a lot of good stuff hidden here?”

Ling Mo rubbed his hands together and slowly walked in.

The room was small and dimly lit, with two rows of locked bookshelves against the wall.

Ling Mo took out another set of keys from his pocket, which he had found in the Regimental Commander’s office.

“It’s not quite what I imagined… it’s all files…”

After opening all the bookshelves, Ling Mo sighed in frustration.

But then he thought, the Air Force Corps’ greatest reliance and method was intelligence gathering.

Even Falcon was tightly controlled because of this, so it was imaginable how much intelligence the Air Force Corps had gathered about the surrounding areas.

At times like this, intelligence could be more valuable than ordinary supplies…
