Drip, dripâ¦
A minute passed.
In the darkness, Yang Mei was already pulled up and quickly tied to another chair.
Throughout this process, she gritted her teeth, glaring at the Dark Shadow.
âIs he unaffected by the light?â Yang Mei wondered.
What she didnât know was that this casual guess was actually spot-on.
Although the completely mutated part of this body was only the head, both the visual system and the olfactory system had no difference from those of a Zombie.
The result of this stealth attack was largely within Ling Moâs expectations.
âFirst, draw Yang Meiâs attention using the chief captainâs situation, while hiding myself at another angle from where he was⦠The key step here is making sure Yang Mei sees that pistol, which is too obvious to be ignored.â
âNext is the second step, turning off the lights. As soon as the lights go out, command the master ball to climb above her head and stand by, then use words and actions for a secondary distraction. The instant darkness affects human vision, even if you adapt, it takes some time⦠This is the opportunity.â
In the wilderness, Ling Moâs main body mused.
Sitting beside him, Yu Shiran suddenly nodded in realization and stretched the tone of her âoh,â then asked, âWhat are you planning to do next?â As soon as she finished speaking, her tone became calm and carried a slightly eerie smile, âConsidering her status, her disappearance would cause some commotion, right? Even if it isnât discovered immediately, if she stays in the chief captainâs room for too long, it could arouse the guardsâ curiosityâ¦â
âThisâ¦â
As his main body stroked his chin, the Zombie Puppet controlled by Ling Mo had already picked up the gun that had fallen to the ground.
A trap? How could something like that happen in just a few secondsâ¦
The so-called gun suspended over the head was merely an illusion created by the darkness of the Inner Room.
The tentacle-hidden master ball behind the chief captainâs Hindbrain, concealed by the darkness⦠Yang Meiâs rapid mobility was restricted by this illusion. With her mobility gone, her troublesome level was greatly reduced.
âIâm not looking for trouble with you, but since you came to me voluntarily, I had no choice but to set a trap based on the situationâ¦â
Ling Mo sighed inwardly, pushing the chief captain directly into the Inner Room and closing the door.
Yang Mei, who had her mouth sealed and was simultaneously restrained by the master ball and ropes, widened her eyes in shock.
âLeaving me here alone? What does he plan to do!â
Click-
The moment the door was closed, the chief captainâs scalp tightened.
With his glasses taken away and the dim light, all he could see was a quickly approaching gleam.
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, but he didnât dare to utter even a âwhimper whimper.â
âWe were interrupted earlier, letâs continue,â Ling Mo said.
âWho wants to continue with you! Since youâve caught Secretary Yang, you should ask her about any issues! Iâm just one rank higher than you and really have no value for interrogationâ¦â the chief captain thought, almost in tears, nodding heavily.
âThe rules are the same as before, and I donât think I need to say more. You should know what to do.â
As soon as Ling Mo finished speaking, the chief captain nodded again, slowly.
Swipe!
As the tape was torn off, the chief captain winced in pain, sucking in a sharp breath.
âYou did that on purpose, didnât you? This isnât sealing; itâs plucking!â
Despite his complaints, the chief captain could only grit his teeth and endure itâ¦
âThough you like to show off, youâre quite sensibleâ¦â
Ling Mo leaned closer and asked, âSo, first question, when did you arrive?â
âA⦠About a month ago⦠to be precise, over the past month, members have arrived in batches, with changes in between,â the chief captain answered in a low voice.
âThe reason for coming? What allowed you to come?â Ling Mo continued to ask.
âThe reason is to coordinate the cooperation between the Main Camp and this location. As for the cause⦠thatâs beyond my knowledge. The specifics might only be known to Chief of Staff Wang and Chief of Staff Su,â the chief captain replied.
Chief of Staff Wang again⦠Ling Mo was filled with murderous intent toward this person he had never metâ¦
âEliminating the Destruction Squad was just the first greeting gift from me⦠From now on, I wonât remain passive,â Ling Mo thought, controlling the Zombie Puppet as he directly asked, âWho is Chief of Staff Wang? What is the Main Campâs attitude towards the Second Camp? At what stage are the proceedings? Donât tell me you donât knowâ¦â
As the blade pressed slightly deeper, Ling Moâs chilling voice continued, âIf you want to lie to me, you can try.â
âHey! Whatâs with this guy! He used to be just an ordinary person, but after killing a few Zombies, he became so full of murderous intent! Iâve been ignoring you all along, and Iâm really sorry for that, but isnât this a bit muchâ¦â
The chief captain was on the verge of tears, âChief of Staff Wang is said to be a core member, one of the original founders of the Falcon Camp⦠He has strong abilities which became even stronger after his Superpower awakened. But I donât know exactly what his Superpower is, only that he single-handedly formed the Destruction Squad. Chief of Staff Su used to have quite a few supporters, but since the last incident, Chief of Staff Wang has started to replace herâ¦â
âThe last incident?â
âHuh?â The chief captain paused.
The original master of this body must know⦠However⦠Ling Mo smirked and said, âExplain in detail.â
âIsnât it⦠the Zombie strategyâ¦â
As soon as the chief captain spoke, Ling Mo was taken aback.
â¦
When the Falcon Camp gradually established its foothold in X City, an astonishing upheaval was slowly brewing.
The relentless wave of Zombies surrounding the camp began to dwindle, even the mutation beasts stopped appearingâ¦
Initially, this unusual phenomenon was seen as a stroke of luck, but over time, more and more people began to realize that they⦠those Monsters hadnât given up, but had changed their strategy.
When a species suddenly changes its hunting habits, it instills fear in its human prey.
Only by understanding how they hunt can humans mount an effective resistance. But when the situation reverses, humans suddenly feel like they are standing in the middle of a battlefield, uncertain of when and how these Monsters will appear and attack.
The first signs of trouble emerged with the Falcon Campâs Search and Rescue Teams.
These teams, numerous in number, operated in different zones, slowly advancing towards the city center. They would sweep up all useful resources, and if they encountered resources difficult to obtain, they would record it for a more Advanced team to handle.
For the ever-expanding Falcon Camp, this was a highly efficient search strategy with minimal casualtiesâ¦
But as teams started to disappear, this balance was abruptly disrupted.
One by one, teams went missing in various areas.
There were no distress signals, no corpses found, not even a trace of their equipment was left behindâ¦
The number of Zombies on the streets also began to decrease significantly, which left the armed Search and Rescue teams stunned.
The lack of large zombie hordes meant that the effectiveness of weapons began to declineâ¦
Even the sound of gunfire could no longer draw more Zombies; it seemed that only living beings could now capture their attentionâ¦
Initially, this situation did not alarm the senior management untilâ¦
âWhat?â Ling Mo felt a stir in his heart and asked.
The preyâs resistance was spurring the Huntersâ evolution⦠But what exactly was this evolution?
âThey⦠just like us, have divided territories and formed teamsâ¦â
The chief captainâs voice involuntarily trembled, âAlthough not obvious, itâs easy to sense. An Army, the Zombies have begun to evolve into an Army⦠Those left on the streets are discarded inferior types, serving as one of their food sources. But when street Zombies evolve to mutation-level, they choose a building to enterâ¦â
âThose places are off-limits to us. The more territory they occupy, the harder it becomes for us to gather resources⦠The prolonged situation has undermined Chief of Staff Suâs influence. In contrast, Chief of Staff Wang, who commands the elite forces, has started to shineâ¦â
An Armyâ¦
Ling Moâs pupils contracted, and he slowly clenched his fists.
A nightmare seems to have begunâ¦
