Chapter 536: Masters Among the Common Folk

In a certain underground chamber.

Ah ah!!!!

The shrill crying of a baby slowly diminished in volume, eventually coming to a calm.

Scarface, dripping with sweat, pushed open the door and stepped out, only to be met with a figure standing before him.

The two walked towards each other and stopped simultaneously.

Mu Chen Scarface greeted as he wiped off his sweat.

Ai Feng, I heard something happened? Mu Chen casually lifted his hand in response and then leaned against the wall, asking.

Hmm Ai Feng rubbed his face, the scars on it squirming like live centipedes, a sight quite unsettling. One of our Level nine members, under surveillance by Number Zero, was wiped out. The assailant used a type of mental power absorption technique

Dont we have Number Zero? Mu Chen seemed indifferent upon hearing this.

Thats exactly where the problem lies. While Number Zero was blocking and negotiating, the other party absorbed the mental link left by Number Zero and even followed it to Number Zeros Origin Ai Feng spoke with a slow cadence.

Wait, wait, wait, you just said they reached the Origin? Mu Chen suddenly stood up straight, asking in disbelief.

With a bitter smile, Ai Feng said, Yes, not only did they reach it, but they almost caused damage to the Origin. Fortunately, Number Zero had a fierce reaction, which allowed us to respond in time. But the impact of that instant was still significant. No telling how many feedback messages werent received by Number Zero, and its going to take about two or three days for a full recovery.

Two or three days? Mu Chens eyes widened.

Yeah, Ai Feng said helplessly, Number Zero is quite fragile

Darn it! Who is this person? Mu Chen exclaimed.

Both Mu Chen and Ai Feng were well aware of Number Zeros situation.

Though inherently fragile, its mental power was quite formidable. Ordinary mental ability users couldnt even detect Number Zeros existence, let alone infiltrate its Origin.

They were both high-ranking members in the Niepan branch and had been with Niepan for a long time.

However, in all their time there, they had never seen nor heard of anyone who could remotely harm Number Zero

How should I know? But I sensed the foreign mental power inside Number Zeros mind for a moment, and judging by the intensity it was a pretty powerful mental ability user, Ai Feng said, scratching his head.

The two exchanged a silent, speechless glance

Have you ever seen such a strong mental ability user? Mu Chen asked.

Ai Feng shook his head: Never have, you?

Me neither

Silence fell between them once more

After a few minutes, Mu Chen finally recovered from his shock and asked, Who died?

Someone from F city, named Jian Qi, an enhancement ability user, decently strong. I vaguely remember that I was the one who brought him in, Ai Feng said.

Huh, just a Level nine Mu Chen inquired.

Ai Fengs facial muscles twitched, then he continued, If it were just any Level nine, that would be one thing. But this Level nine had applied to join the Origin Plan

Ugh, Im dizzy! Mu Chens previously relaxed expression froze again.

You know, the Origin Plan is one of our key research projects in Niepan, and it involves a lot of secrecy Ai Feng sighed heavily.

So, you think someone could directly get their hands on the intelligence? Mu Chen asked.

Its not about fearing the ten thousand possibilities, but the one that may occur

Ai Feng paused, then tentatively asked, How about you find a few people

Why is it always me?

Station 0 cant spare anyone

Mu Chen looked troubled as he watched Ai Feng for a while, then helplessly waved his hand: Alright, alright, tell me everything you know about that person you mentioned.

That person is in City F, staying at a psychic base called fire. I just checked, and he had reported back to Station 0 two days ago.

As he spoke, Ai Feng fished out a piece of paper from his pocket, glanced at it, and said, When he sent back the information, he was at the Air Force Corps, but that corps has been merged into Falcon now. Also, that psychic base is relocating to City X. The specific address is written here.

Ah, Falcon the one in City A? So powerful that it swallowed up the Air Force Corps. Mu Chen said.

Jian Qi mentioned he found someone interesting. This person played a crucial role in Falcons absorption of the Air Force Corps and even took out those he was persuaded to test. After saying this, Ai Feng looked at Mu Chen, I think its most likely this person. If it is, they must be formidable. Try not to act rashly, be cautious, and assess the situation first.

City X

Mu Chen took the piece of paper from Ai Fengs hand, glanced at it a few times, then stuffed it into his pocket: Okay, Ill go. A mental ability user who can harm Station 0 Im quite interested myself.

Youre interested in what? Stop causing trouble!

Ai Feng stood behind, cursing as he watched Mu Chens retreating figure.

After Mu Chen had completely vanished down the corridor, Ai Feng touched the scar on his face and slowly leaned back against the wall.

There are masters hidden among the common folk he muttered, then slowly shook his head.

In the day or two after the forced kiss, Ling Mo hadnt seen Chief of Staff Su again.

Thinking about her expression that day, both embarrassed and speechless, Ling Mo couldnt help but want to laugh.

The irony of trying to tease someone but getting kissed instead, such is human nature!

He could only blame Chief of Staff Su for being too bold and overstepping, which forced him to resort to that measure

However, he did occasionally run into Li Wei, but this timid soul would get nervous and take a detour every time she saw him.

The last time, she didnt run away; she stood her ground, waiting for Ling Mo with her head down.

Thump

In Li Weis field of vision, a pair of sneakers appeared.

Why are you avoiding me? Ling Mo asked.

You you still ask me

Li Weis face immediately flushed red, she looked around, then tiptoed and whispered: Back in City A wasnt it you who knocked out Sister Su?

After saying that, she looked around furtively, as if she were a thief.

Even Sister Su has been called upon Ling Mo touched his nose and then pinched Li Weis cheek, skillfully dodging her question with a prompt, Do a good job.

Li Wei shuddered but saw that Ling Mo had already moved past her, seemingly about to leave.

She was afraid of him, and Ling Mo could tell. Besides, this was Falcons territory; it wouldnt do to have too much contact.

Wait a minute

Unexpectedly, Li Wei took the initiative to grab him this time, quickly stuffing something into Ling Mos pocket.

Whats up? Ling Mo asked, feeling his pocket with curiosity.

Take this Li Wei pursed her lips, took a couple of deep breaths, mustered all her courage, and whispered in a voice barely louder than a mosquitos buzz, If youre in trouble, you can find me

After saying that, the young girl timidly glanced at Ling Mo, then immediately covered her face and scurried away.

While running, she muttered, Oh, its so hot

This kid Ling Mo watched her leave and then looked at the item she gave him.

Is this her improved Communicator?

The round object looked a bit odd, like a miniature UFO

To Ling Mos surprise, it even came with a rudimentary manual

Signal boosted, and it can connect to all of Falcons Communicators? Nice, not bad at all.

Previously, Ling Mo had pilfered some gadgets from Li Wei, but this time she had voluntarily brought it to him.

Considering that Yuwen Xuan, the Commanding Officer of the second camp, didnt receive such treatment, it was clear that Li Wei had prepared this specifically for him.

The kid is thoughtful

Ling Mo smiled slightly and tucked the Communicator into his pocket.

Not only was Su Qianrou no longer around, but Lucy also stopped appearing voluntarily.

Ling Mo went to check once and found that she and the other fire team members were quiet, which eased his mind.

It seemed they planned to set aside the matter of Jian Qi until they returned to City X to study it in detail

As for the bodies, they seemed to have been dealt with long ago.

Wait a moment Seeing Ling Mo come for a quick look and about to leave, Lucy hastily called out to him.

Hm? Ling Mo responded with confusion.

Lucy had dark circles under her eyes, clearly weighed down with worries and lacking sleep.

After hesitating for a while, she asked in a low voice, Are you planning to stay here?

No. Ling Mo shook his head.

Staying would be of no help to Ye Lian and the others, and it wasnt something Ling Mo would consider.

But Yuwen Xuans presence ensured that Falcon would be an ally rather than a foe in the future, which was enough for him.

Is that so A flicker of joy crossed Lucys eyes. She thought for a moment and then asked, So where do you plan to go?

Uh

Niepan, and Cuihu City, where high-level zombies roamed, were Ling Mos targets.

One might reveal the true nature of the virus, the other could offer the next evolutionary goal

But in Ling Mos plans, Cuihu City was scheduled for later.

It was a high-risk area marked by the Air Force Corps, and even Ling Mo wouldnt enter rashly.

Could that enhanced zombie knock down two helicopters and tear people apart as if it were playing?

Ling Mo took down helicopters by being cunning, while zombies mostly relied on brute force.

Although the former seems much smarter, when it comes to the intensity of destructive power, the latter is obviously much more terrifying.

Let me just say it. Lucy seemed uncomfortable with the evasion and finally started speaking more smoothly. Come back with us to Fire. Im not sure if there are still people who are in cahoots with Jian Qi, but with you there Id feel a lot more at ease.

As soon as she said this, Lucys complexion turned a shade redder.

She bit her lip and said, What I mean is consider this a deal, are you willing to take it?

Why not take it if theres a reward? Ling Mo agreed readily.

Even if Lucy hadnt mentioned it, he would have followed them. Now that he could join them openly and get a reward, what was there to hesitate about?
