âLet me introduce myself⦠My name is Kaili, Chen Kaili. But at this point, names donât really matter, do they? Especially after witnessing my parents tear each other apart and devour each otherâ¦â Kaili chuckled.
Ling Mo, who was lost in thought, was taken aback. He didnât expect her to reveal such a secret so easily and with such a tone⦠The womanâs laughter sent an inexplicable chill through himâ¦
âStrange, I should be seeing her for the first time, but this feelingâ¦â Ling Mo had a sudden realization. This familiarity wasnât because of Kailiâs appearance, but because of the aura she exudedâ¦
Dangerous, cold, with a hint of mockery in her eyes⦠This wasnât an expression youâd find in ordinary people, but rather in highly intelligent zombies or mutation beastsâ¦
âIs she regarding me as preyâ¦â Ling Mo understood a bit.
Faced with this woman, he felt extremely uncomfortable, just like when the youth looked at himâ¦
âStill not talking? Arenât you curious why Iâm interested in you? Hmm⦠how should I put it, initially it was because the captain and Chief of Staff Wang were very curious about you. But now, itâs because you dared to stay here alone. Futile struggles can be quite amusing, donât you think?â Kaili asked with a smile.
The Zombie Puppet moved its lips and spoke with some difficulty, âWhy⦠are you curious about me?â
âDonât you know?⦠I think you remember having dealt with us before, right?â
âMmâ¦â The Zombie Puppet nodded slightly.
Kaili reached out to play with her hair, twirling it lightly. âYouâre a very cautious person, but Chief of Staff Wang also has a unique observational skill. The anomalies that others didnât notice, he saw at a glanceâ¦â At this point, Kaili paused for a moment and then said with a sly smile, âWhy donât you take a good guess? If you guess correctly, Iâll let you go.â
âHehâ¦â The Zombie Puppet let out a raspy chuckle.
âNot guessing? Ah, what a pity⦠In that case, why donât you play with me for a while?â
As soon as Kaili finished speaking, her heel lightly tapped against the wall, and she suddenly shot towards Ling Moâs Zombie Puppet like a cannonball.
To Ling Moâs eyes, it was just a blur, and then he saw this woman eerily appear right in front of himâ¦
âSo fast!â
Ling Moâs pupils narrowed, and he immediately controlled the Zombie Puppet to leap backward.
Kaili landed with a slight smile and, without hesitation, raised her hand towards the Zombie Puppetâs neck.
âNice dodge, but just dodging wonât help youâ¦â
Ling Mo frowned. Although Kailiâs movements were silent and appeared not to carry much force, a strong sense of danger enveloped his mind as her arm swung towards him.
He quickly lifted his leg to kick Kailiâs stomach, but the woman swiftly grabbed his leg with her other hand, using the momentum to press herself against the Zombie Puppet.
In what seemed like a coquettish move lay a terrifying murderous intent-unbeknownst to him, a dagger had appeared in her hand, swiftly driving towards the Zombie Puppetâs heart.
âNow⦠you canât dodge this.â Kaili whispered with a smile.
âItâs true I canât dodge, butâ¦â
Ling Moâs expression remained unchanged, his head hung low, eyelids drooping to hide the Zombie Puppetâs eyes. When he saw Kaili moving closer, the glint of a blade following her movement, not only did he not try to evade, but he also reached out to embrace Kailiâs slender waist. ɽ
âHmm?â Kaili was momentarily taken aback, unable to adjust her actions in time under these circumstances.
âHave you given up resisting?â Kaili chuckled softly, her hand moving even faster.
Pfft!
As the blade plunged into the flesh, Ling Mo immediately controlled the Zombie Puppet to jolt.
The dagger, which was about to penetrate the heart, angled slightly, yet the blade still pierced deeply into the Zombie Puppetâs body.
Meanwhile, the remaining arm of the Zombie Puppet wrapped around Kaili and then forcefully punched out.
Bang!
Kailiâs petite body flew backward, crashing heavily onto the floor.
However, just before hitting the ground, she managed to thrust the launcher in her hand towards the ground, and with a sharp screeching sound, she barely stabilized herself.
Clutching her painfully aching stomach, Kaili vomited a mouthful of blood and looked incredulously at the Zombie Puppet.
Her gaze fixed on the Zombie Puppetâs chest, where only the daggerâs handle remainedâ¦
Yet, the Zombie Puppet remained motionless, slowly retracting its fist, its head still eerily bowedâ¦
âDo you have a death wish?â Kaili couldnât help but ask.
She slowly pushed herself up, her facial expression gradually changing.
Soon, an excited smile appeared on her face. She extended her tongue to lick the blood off her lips and said, âI was wrong earlier, youâre actually quite interesting⦠Iâve never seen such a fighting style before.â She glanced out of the corner of her eye towards the door and said, âHeâs caught up, looks like heâs found you.â
At the same time, a surge of mental energy burst through the door, directly attacking the Zombie Puppetâs psychic light cluster.
âYouâre an intriguing prey. I assume your companions are also interesting, right? But donât worry, after dealing with you, weâll track them down and hunt them one by oneâ¦â
Kaili swiftly drew a pistol, but before she could pull the trigger, the Zombie Puppet suddenly let out a low roar, charging towards the window.
Kaili quickly followed suit, keeping the gun aimed at the Zombie Puppet.
Rat-tat-tat⦠As gunfire erupted, the Zombie Puppetâs body jerked a few times.
However, his steps did not falter, and he quickly reached the window and leapt out.
At the moment he landed on the sill, the Zombie Puppet forcefully twisted his body, and a Dark Shadow was flung out, hurtling back into the room.
âTrying to escape? Huh, what is thisâ¦â
Kailiâs expression suddenly changed, and at the same time, the Youth kicked the door open.
âFall back!â
Kaili shouted as she leapt backward, colliding with the Youth and pushing both of them out the door.
At the same time, she hooked the door with her foot, slamming it shut with a âbang.â
âBoom!â
With a loud explosion, the entire floor seemed to quiver.
The Team Members stationed at the entrance looked into the Corridor in astonishment, and even the guards on the street took a few steps back in alarm.
Thud!
The Zombie Puppet hit the ground, then struggled to its feet.
It spat out a mouthful of bloody froth and looked up at the shards of glass cascading down from above.
A large amount of black smoke billowed from the window, with debris carried out by the shockwave, scattering in all directions.
âExploded within two seconds⦠the power seems adequateâ¦â Ling Mo thought to himself.
This Zombie Puppet was already severely injured, but what oozed from the bullet holes wasnât blood, it was black mucusâ¦
âInjury triggered the virus, accelerating physical collapse⦠That psychic power shock just now nearly severed my psychic link⦠Luckily, the Zombie Puppet doesnât have a psychic light cluster, so most of the attack missed, not unleashing its full potential.â The Zombie Puppet wobbled again, casting a glance at the window, âI wanted to find a better opportunity, but given the situation, this was all I could manage⦠unfortunatelyâ¦â
Before falling, Ling Mo had seen the open door and Kaili retreating⦠Given her reflexes and skills, she likely wasnât killed by the blastâ¦
But managing to preserve the Zombie Puppet was already an achievement, and Ling Mo hadnât expected to eliminate them with just one surprise attack⦠If it were that easy, Falconâs elite wouldnât be so weakâ¦
Seeing the body on the brink of complete destruction, Ling Mo controlled the Zombie Puppet to muster its last bit of strength and quickly disappeared along the edge of the wallâ¦
âCough, coughâ¦â
Amidst the swirling dust, Kaili pushed away the security door that had fallen on her.
She clutched the howitzer launcher to protect her body, but despite that, she couldnât help but cough due to the tumult inside her. As she coughed, she chuckled intermittently, âSo powerful! Hahaha, this person is indeed interesting!â
The Youth also got up, swinging his arms, his face grim as he stared straight at the window inside.
âLing Moâ¦â The Youth clenched his fists tightly, simmering in anger for a moment before suddenly turning to glare at Kaili, âSince you caught up to him, why didnât you signal me immediately? And why didnât you go all out from the start? Iâve told you, this is a missionâ¦â
Kaili spat out another mouthful of bloody froth, leaned against the wall, and laughed, âI didnât expect him to be so resilient⦠Besides, donât you find it more exciting this way? A wounded beast escaping will eventually lead the hunters to other prey⦠Just hope he doesnât die on the way, or the mission would fail, right?â
The Youth fumed, âIf this fails, you know how Iâll Reportâ¦â
Swoosh!
Kaili suddenly vanished from her spot, and in the blink of an eye, a pair of hands appeared on the Youthâs neck from behind.
âReport however you want, but for now, you canât interfere with my hunt,â Kaili said coldly, standing on tiptoe as she whispered into the Youthâs ear.
As soon as she finished speaking, she swiftly leapt back two steps, widening the distance between them.
âTsk, tsk, donât try attacking meâ¦â Kailiâs face still wore a smile, but her eyes narrowed dangerously, âI donât like your Superpower of peeking into othersâ thoughts⦠it makes me want to killâ¦â
She glanced at the Youthâs shoulder and took a delighted breath in, âIf I were you, Iâd take care of that wound firstâ¦â
