Chapter 758 – Life-Threatening Traits

рlease,reading On ΒΟXΝOVEL.ϹʘM

Although Niepan is currently in serious turmoil, the situation is still under control within the perimeter of the barbed wire.

Beyond the wire, however, it remains eerily quiet, with nothing noteworthy except for vast, lurking shadows.

With the Medical University serving as a natural cover, these people aren’t worried about the disturbances here getting out. Even if the commotion escalates, isn’t there an outer patrol team to deal with it?

With no worries of being attacked from both sides, most people have retreated to this open space, causing the atmosphere on-site to gradually calm down from the earlier chaos.

Some superhumans capable of entering the fire scene have also started their preparations under the guard’s instructions. They were clearly waiting for the situation inside to stabilize somewhat before rushing in to salvage some necessary supplies.

Meanwhile, others remained huddled in small groups, whispering among themselves from time to time.

In a corner, Ling Mo was resting against the wall when he suddenly thought of something. He urgently asked, “Old Lan, are all the headquarters’ supplies concentrated in this place?”

Old Lan, who was engrossed in the fragrance of a cigarette he was holding, reluctantly lifted his head to respond, “Not really, most of the supplies are stored elsewhere.”

No wonder no one is in a hurry to rush in… Ling Mo asked further, “So where are they stored?”

“I don’t know. Only the Big Boss and a few others know the specific locations. Look at those outside, even if they got in, they’re just here to snatch some equipment.” Old Lan had sharp eyes and wasn’t entirely idle. Stuck in the headquarters with Ling Mo, while everyone else seemed a bit anxious, he found some solace in the cigarette aroma.

Ling Mo nodded thoughtfully, remarking, “Niepan has a strong ability to gather supplies…”

Mu Chen couldn’t hold back and interjected, “Are you still thinking about their supplies?”

“We can’t take them anyway,” Ling Mo said regrettably.

“Actually, even if the supplies burn, it’s not that big of a deal,” Old Lan suddenly interjected. “Do you know why the Big Boss was able to establish Niepan so quickly? He knows quite a lot.”

Ling Mo was taken aback but then became intrigued. Old Lan hadn’t mentioned this to the Zombie Puppet, and Ling Mo had forgotten to ask at that time.

But now that they were about to leave, Ling Mo immediately thought about Niepan’s supplies.

The items collected here were the amalgamation of several branches’ resources-it was an abundance of wealth!

Judging by Old Lan’s tone, it seemed like the Big Boss had more secrets up his sleeve.

Ling Mo reached into Old Lan’s lab coat and expertly pulled out a pack of cigarettes, shaking one out with practiced ease. “Tell me in detail. By the way, where’s the lighter?”

“All the same…” Lan Lan grumbled from the side.

Old Lan’s eyes followed Ling Mo’s hand, but he continued speaking, “I’m not entirely sure about the specifics. I just gathered bits and pieces of the story. It is said that when the catastrophe first broke out, he took advantage of the chaos to gather a lot of information, the kind that ordinary people couldn’t find at all.”

“What kind?” Mu Chen asked curiously.

“Heh, you’ll be surprised. What do you think is most important these days? Food and weapons! The information the Big Boss had was related to these.” Old Lan nonchalantly reached out to take back the pack of cigarettes from Ling Mo, but he didn’t expect Ling Mo to casually slip it into his own pocket.

The deputy team leader’s face twitched with a pained expression as he continued, “Grain depots and armories, not just in Heishui City-he knows the locations in other places as well.”

“Does that include X City?” Ling Mo paused, forgetting to even light his cigarette.

“That I don’t know, but given that he’s developing a branch there, he probably does,” Old Lan said uncertainly.

“Where did he get this information from?” Mu Chen was stunned.

Old Lan gave a peculiar smile and whispered, “It’s rumored that he was initially with some big shots… But after he started forming his own team, those big shots just disappeared. So, what do you think happened?”

His tone sounded sneaky, and combined with his heavily suggestive gestures, it gave everyone a chill.

Ling Mo’s expression immediately darkened. This Big Boss… truly a ruthless character!

Mu Chen felt a chill up his spine. He had seriously offended Niepan, and the more ferocious the Big Boss’s reputation, the more distressed he became.

Looking at his current “boss,” who often acted unreliably, Mu Chen couldn’t help thinking that, in terms of ruthlessness, his current boss was no match for the Big Boss.

Take this infiltration, for instance. Ling Mo had caused quite a stir, but had anyone actually died?

Even the Zombies he had obviously released had only caused a disturbance.

These Zombies, even if armed, weren’t much of a threat! They just fired wildly, at most suppressing people into staying hidden.

So, in every way, Ling Mo was not in the same league as the Big Boss…

“I’ve been duped…” Mu Chen thought, wanting to cry.

After pondering for a moment, Ling Mo suddenly asked, “Can you recognize him at a glance?”

“Although he doesn’t have any distinctive features, I think I could…” Old Lan instinctively replied.

But as soon as he finished, Old Lan shuddered and looked at Ling Mo in disbelief, “You’re not thinking of…”

“Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly.” Ling Mo smiled slightly and assured him.

Old Lan studied Ling Mo for a moment, then sighed in relief, “Good. You shouldn’t mess with him.”

But Mu Chen, standing beside them, frowned. Not act recklessly? Since when did Ling Mo not act recklessly?

His defining trait was his recklessness! And that trait was life-threatening!

Lan Lan, folding her arms, suddenly asked, “What about the help you promised?”

“Don’t rush,” Ling Mo glanced at her and said.

Lan Lan wanted to say more, but under Ling Mo’s gaze, she couldn’t find her words.

“Swish, swish…”

Amidst the sparse underbrush, a white figure shifted slightly before quickly vanishing into the shadows.

“How is it?” Xia Na emerged from behind a tree and asked in a low voice.

The chubby mutation panda moved its head close to Yu Shiran, swaying slightly before letting out a faint whimper through its nose.

A few seconds later, Yu Shiran patted its head and replied, “Xiao Bai says there are about fifty to sixty humans.”

“You can’t even count such a simple number…,” Xia Na shot a glance of disdain at the mutation panda.

“MeGu…” Xiao Bai looked somewhat aggrieved. It could understand human speech but had never studied math… being able to count was already an achievement.

“What do we do now?” Yu Shiran asked as she turned to peer at the wild grass behind them, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

Xia Na thought for a moment and then smiled slightly, “Let’s give them a little surprise.”

This barbed wire fence stood nearly five meters tall and was welded securely, with spikes lining its top. Inside the fence, within the first five meters, numerous upward-pointing spikes were also welded, effectively preventing anyone from sneaking in unnoticed.

The only safe passage was through the middle opening, but several guards were already stationed there, their black gun barrels projecting a menacing aura.

Some guards were patrolling back and forth, maintaining order in the open space.

“Ling-Ge mentioned that there used to be firepower positions up there.” Xia Na shifted her gaze to the top of the buildings, only to see plumes of black smoke.

“Looks like the Sausage Humans have taken care of it,” Yu Shiran remarked.

With their eyesight, spotting a gun barrel in the dark wasn’t difficult.

But with the dense smoke, even they couldn’t see clearly, let alone any human who could still hold out up there.

Ling Mo’s fires were strategically placed…

“I never knew smoke affected humans like this… but don’t they smoke themselves?” Yu Shiran asked curiously.

Xia Na paused for a moment, then laughed, “That’s not ‘smoke’; that’s called smoking.”

“Now that you say it, it’s even weirder…” Yu Shiran muttered.

“Alright!” Xia Na’s eyes suddenly sharpened as she spoke.

Two figures swiftly darted out from the underbrush just as a guard, who had been watching the area, turned his head away.

The speed of a Senior Zombie sprinting a hundred meters was absolutely astonishing. The guard turned to glance, then quickly turned back, but by then, the path was already empty. He casually scanned the clusters of Dark Shadows before refocusing his attention near the Barbed Wire.

While he couldn’t see past the green belt across the way, he could still keep an eye on the Barbed Wire area.

At that moment, the lights inside and outside the building suddenly flickered and then went out completely.

As the lights dimmed, Lan Lan took a frightened step back.

Although their location was already dimly lit, the complete absence of light from the building made her feel tense.

She noticed that Ling Mo had closed his eyes, seemingly pinching the bridge of his nose.

“Weird…” Lan Lan thought with a frown.

Mu Chen was also startled, but seeing Ling Mo’s actions, he understood immediately.

It was definitely Ling Mo’s doing!

But how did he pull it off? Did he use psychic power to blow out the bulbs?

Mu Chen speculated wildly…

With the lights out, the scene inside the building became even more chaotic, and loud noises erupted from the open space.

“Is the wiring burned out?” someone asked.

“Just our luck. This complicates things even more!”

“No worries, we can barely see with the firelight…”

As these discussions took place, the guard turned his head towards the building.

He didn’t notice that right under his nose, two figures had emerged and were silently using their seemingly delicate hands to tear open the Barbed Wire bit by bit…
