âBut before discussing these, itâs more important to solve the current problems firstâ¦â an abrupt voice suddenly chimed in.
âAlright, Iâve sent everyone away.â
Zhang Yu tugged at his collar, looking utterly exhausted.
This man had bloodshot eyes and wore a dirty white shirt. If it werenât for his somewhat tidy hairstyle, he would look just like Yuwen Xuan. Seeing Ling Mo look over, he casually tossed a cigarette his way, nodded in greeting, and then eagerly continued, âLetâs save catching up for later; the situation is quite urgent now.â
Before he finished speaking, he had already hastily opened the door: âLetâs talk over here.â
Once inside, he anxiously poured two cups of tea, muttering, âTo be honest, Ling-Ge, you really made quite an entrance.â He casually threw a piece of paper from his pocket, âMy heart canât take it.â
Wang Lin took the opportunity to glance curiously at it.
âIâm Ling Mo,â the note read in a straightforward and casual manner.
Wang Lin couldnât quite figure it out. When did he write this?
There are many ways to get it in, but he didnât seem to have made any movesâ¦
âThis Second Camp is really a hot potato.â Zhang Yu sat directly opposite Ling Mo, crossed his hands on his knees, leaned forward, and asked, âLing-Ge, do you have a plan? At this point, we have no second path. Those with no family can get by under anyoneâs rule here, but Iâm different. I have a daughterâ¦â
âDid you bring her over?â Ling Mo asked.
âYes, I acted early⦠Although itâs still dangerous, itâs more reassuring to have her under my watch.â Zhang Yu rubbed his palms and asked again, âLing-Ge, I know when you handed the Second Camp to us, you didnât expect todayâs situation. Butâ¦â
âWeâll face it as it comes,â Ling Mo said.
âHuh?â
Not only was Zhang Yu dumbfounded, but Yuwen Xuan was also shocked.
This⦠this sounds so simple! But the key is, how are we supposed to face it?
Yuwen Xuan stood there with his mouth open for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh: âAhahaha, youâre joking, right? By the way, where is my sisterâ¦â
âLing-Ge, could you please elaborate a bit more?â Zhang Yu straightened his chin and asked.
âEven though itâs unlikely for us to fly a helicopter to bomb them⦠how many troops do they have to attack us?â Ling Mo spread his hands and said, âNo pressure at all.â ê¦Î±ï¼®ÈÐÃÅ
Zhang Yuâs shoulders involuntarily twitched, and he slapped the table as he stood up: âLing-Ge, arenât you being reckless here?! Do you know how many people there are in the Second Camp now? Nearly three hundred! Some, like me, have brought their families! Providing for three hundred people isnât a small feat, relying just on scattered scavenging is hardly sufficient! Even if we can cooperate with the Central Region Camp,â he pointed at Wang Lin, âbut thatâs not going to solve our immediate needs!â
He seemed to be struggling to control his emotions, and his words were somewhat cautious around Wang Lin.
âIâll find a way to deal with the supplies,â Ling Mo said calmly.
âYou canâ¦â Zhang Yu initially wanted to shout more, but noticing Ling Moâs expression, he swallowed his words. Ling Mo seemed pretty seriousâ¦
Meanwhile, Yuwen Xuan laughed and said, âThat puts my mind at ease. Those bastards have been strangling us with supplies, and we can provide less and less intelligence⦠Overall, we havenât contributed as much as they expected, so theyâre unsatisfied. Plus, this feeling of a small independent campâ¦â
âWerenât you the one who created all this?â Ling Mo said bluntly.
Zhang Yu was silent for a while before asking, âIt seems Ling-Ge has thought it through before doing this⦠but why didnât you discuss it with us firstâ¦â
âWho said I didnât?â Ling Mo raised an eyebrow and said.
âHuh?â
âI just donât like being messed with,â Ling Mo replied. âBeing silently schemed against isnât my style. If just wiping out his team wasnât enough to make him feel the pain, then Iâll simply uproot the forces heâs planted here. Not only him, but all those old bastards standing with him-Iâll let them taste it properlyâ¦â
âWhat a terrible statementâ¦â Wang Lin thought to herself.
âBut before confronting them head-on, the first thing we need to do isâ¦â Ling Mo finished his tea in one gulp, stood up, and dusted off his sleeves, âLetâs clean up all the mess they left here!â
âAlright!â
Ling Mo continued, âWhatâs the situation now?â
Zhang Yu immediately responded, âAfter getting the news, I ordered a lockdown of the Falcon membersâ residential area, and weâve cordoned off their main activity areas⦠The problem is that there are still many Falcon members active. Silently dealing with them is difficult, even with superhumansâ¦â
âWe can skip that part; Yalin and her team are handling it, and I trust in their abilities,â Ling Mo said. With the capabilities of the Zombie Puppet able to take care of those people, not to mention three Senior Zombies⦠though there was some concern, after some thought, Ling Mo felt more assured.
The purpose of zombiesâ existence is battle and evolution. If their right to fight is taken away, how fast could their evolution really be? Besides, fighting humans is somewhat better than fighting zombiesâ¦
âThatâs great!â Zhang Yu finally had a smile on his face.
Yuwen Xuan, following behind, weakly asked, âMy sisterâ¦â
âLet me take you down to see the situation now,â Zhang Yu suggested.
âLetâs go. By the way, how old is your daughter?â
âSheâs still a child, please go easy on her.â
Before leaving, Ling Mo reached his hand behind him and gestured.
âPlop!â
The master ball leaped accurately into Ling Moâs hand.
The atmosphere in the corridor of the building was quite tense.
Close to twenty people were split into two groups, facing off against each other, with guns drawn.
A youth stepped forward from one of the groups, holding a pistol, looking hostile as he asked, âWhat exactly do you want? Why wonât you let us out?â
âPeople from the branch camp trying to stop us? Do you believe I wonât shoot you right now?â
âWhat on earth is going on outside? If you donât tell us, itâll be too late when I find your superior!â
Shouts immediately erupted from the crowd, mixed with a lot of cursing and swearing.
In contrast, the other group appeared remarkably stern, not even bothering to speak or move.
Their guns were uniformly aimed at the others, and their unwavering gazes indicated⦠they were not joking around.
âWhat should we do?â the youth took a step back, his face darkening as he said, âEven with our provocation, they arenât getting angry, it seems things are really badâ¦â
âNo way, everything was fine during the day!â someone beside him whispered.
âYeah, if something really happened, we would have heard something about it.â
âBut theyâre blocking us hereâ¦â
The young man frowned, glancing at them before saying, âShut up! Better safe than sorry, we canât just linger here.â
âSo, what do you want to do?â
âWhat to doâ¦â The youth slowly reached for his pocket, but suddenly a sharp pain shot through his wrist.
âAh!â he screamed and staggered sideways.
But before he hit the ground, a strange scene unfolded.
With a rush of voices, he was suddenly pulled forward and then heavily thrown in front of the Second Campâs guards.
The guards immediately parted, creating a path.
âItâs a grenade.â
Zhang Yu knelt down to pull the youthâs arm out and felt his pocket.@@novelbin@@
The youth clutched his wrist, screaming in pain, but before he could beg for mercy, he was dragged away.
This scene left the opposing Falcon members silent, rendering the entire corridor completely quiet.
âLing-Ge, how should we deal with them?â Yuwen Xuan asked, turning his head expectantly.
His demeanor immediately caused Zhang Yu to lower his head, avoiding the curious and confused gazes of the Second Camp members.
Ling Mo sauntered over with his hands in his pockets, his gaze slowly sweeping over the people across from him.
âYou⦠you heard that, right? Theyâre going to make a move!â a Falcon member shouted from within the crowd.
Just as he was about to back away, his pupils suddenly contracted.
âAh!â
The person next to him exclaimed in shock and quickly moved aside to watch him fall backward.
His mouth was still in a speaking position, but there was a deep blood hole under his left eye.
Blood gushed out, quickly staining half of his face bright red, a gruesome sight that sparked terror among the others.
âAlthough I donât really like people who hide and incite others⦠heâs right about one thing.â Ling Mo spoke calmly under the varied gazes of the crowd. âIf any of you make a sudden move, we wonât hesitate to act. So, itâs best if you put down your guns; we wouldnât want any accidental misfiresâ¦â
âOh! Quite the style! If only he wore a black mask, heâd look just like themâ¦â Yuwen Xuan murmured in admiration.
âDonât compare me to terrorists! Do you think standing against so many gun barrels isnât stressful for me?â Ling Mo retorted angrily.
At this point, Zhang Yu chimed in, âWeâre all humans here. As long as thereâs no infighting, we wonât trouble you. Later on, whether you choose to leave or stay, we can discuss it. But for now, cooperation would be wise. Weâve worked so hard to survive up till now; wouldnât it be worse to die here than being eaten by a zombie?â
The opposite side was silent for a moment, then one of the Falcon members relaxed his fingers and dropped his pistol with a âclack.â
More sounds followed one after another, and once they put down their guns, the soldiers from the Second Camp immediately rushed forward to tie them up.
Ling Mo stood aside and asked one of them, âI have a questionâ¦â
