“What does this mean?” Lan Lan asked, her eyes widening.

 

Ling Mo smiled and said, “Can’t you tell? It’s a trap.”

 

Old Lan quickly understood, “I get it. There should be someone guarding this place. But even though no one’s here now, it’s even more dangerous than when there were people.”

 

“Yes, they’re probably hiding nearby, waiting for us to walk into the net.” Ling Mo added.

 

“So, this is a decoy?” Lan Lan understood too.

 

“Exactly.”

 

With Ling Mo confirming this, Lan Lan was at a loss for words. This was a dire situation!

 

The chaos outside wouldn’t last much longer, yet there were ambushes at the entrance.

 

Trying to climb over the barbed wire would be like stepping directly into a spotlight.

 

The light here was dim, but it was not enough to blind someone!

 

Moreover, the group that had gone upstairs to look for them was a lurking danger that could erupt at any moment.

 

Those collections were formidable, but how long could they hold out? As soon as they came out, senior management would immediately realize that Lan Lan and her father were missing.

 

At that point, the situation would become even more complicated and the severity would surpass the current level.

 

She couldn’t believe Ling Mo hadn’t thought of this, but how could he remain so calm?

 

“So what do we do now?” Mu Chen asked.

 

Ling Mo didn’t answer directly. Instead, he turned to Old Lan and asked, “Can you see the windows of that vehicle from here?”

 

He was referring to the modified school bus, which served as the temporary command post of the headquarters.

 

Old Lan squinted in that direction, then chuckled, “They’re the only ones with lights on. Of course, I can see it.”

 

“That’s good,” Ling Mo nodded.

 

Mu Chen glanced at him nervously, “What are you planning now?”

 

“Who is the Rat and who is the cat needs to be seen to be believed,” Ling Mo said with a smile.

 

At this moment, inside a car, several figures were intently watching the outside.

 

They were focusing on the area near the broken hole.

 

One of them, his eyes half-closed and his eyebrows twitching slightly, looked quite eerie.

 

His lips moved, and he suddenly spoke, “I placed you here in ambush to wait for them. Now that we have a specific direction, guarding it becomes easier. Stay alert, and don’t let them escape.”

 

“Do we need them alive, or…?” One person asked respectfully.

 

The white-eyed man’s eyelids moved, revealing upturned white eyes. “Preferably alive, but if not-dead is fine too.”

 

“But… shouldn’t we interrogate them?” The person asked cautiously.

 

“Is that necessary?” The white-eyed man laughed unpleasantly, “With or without testimonies, those people won’t admit anything.”

 

“Doesn’t that make it too easy for them?” The others exchanged glances.

 

But they had to admit the white-eyed man was right. In the power struggle between factions, a few captives wouldn’t make much difference.

 

If the enemy was arrogant enough, they could completely disregard the captives. With just a simple statement: “Not satisfied? Come fight me!”

 

The white-eyed man said coldly, “That’s alright. We’ll just take their refusal as our cue.”

 

His cryptic statement left the group confused at first.

 

But a few seconds later, one of them looked horrified.

 

The white-eyed man’s words carried a deeper meaning…

 

If any senior management were here, they would be startled by the tone of the white-eyed man’s voice.

 

Though the voice was different, his way of speaking was identical to the Big Boss inside the school bus!

 

“Take a closer look; they should be here soon. This time, we must succeed! As long as I’m here, no one can slip past under my nose.” The white-eyed man said as he pressed himself against the window, listening intently to the sounds outside.

 

However, he completely failed to notice a figure swiftly weaving through the crowd just ten meters away, disappearing from their line of sight in no time…

 

“Go.”

 

Taking advantage of several superhumans’ cover, Ling Mo swiftly threw the master ball in his hand.

 

The small Jellyfish landed accurately on the roof of the school bus with a soft “thud,” paused for a few seconds, and then started spinning like a top.

 

Ling Mo weaved through the crowd deftly while maintaining his focus on the master ball.

 

At this moment, the master ball had almost completely drained its “battery,” with only a single psychic tentacle still connecting it to Ling Mo.

 

This way, even if there were superhumans with mental abilities, they might not immediately detect it.

 

In just two short seconds, the master ball slid down the roof of the school bus and swiftly began searching for gaps in the windows.

 

Less than two meters away stood several guards. However, due to the appearance of the Experimental Subjects, most of the guards had moved further away from the school bus, attempting to keep the subjects at a distance. This, however, provided a great opportunity for the master ball.

 

“Swish, swish, swish…”

 

The master ball moved with incredible speed and quickly located a tiny gap in one of the windows.

 

Its tentacle reached inside. Instead of trying to push the window open, it forced its way through the gap, successfully slipping inside.

 

Once inside, the master ball latched onto a curtain and continued to climb upward.

 

“I should have named it 009; it’s so deserving …” Ling Mo thought to himself.

 

There weren’t many people inside the bus, but the smell was overwhelming.

 

Sweat, smoke, alcohol… Ling Mo could even distinguish the scent of perfume!

 

Only senior management could live this luxuriously; ordinary people were lucky if they didn’t smell bad.

 

After finding a suitable spot to hang from, Ling Mo took a deep breath and turned to look in Old Lan’s direction.

 

From where Ling Mo stood, Old Lan couldn’t see him.

 

Ling Mo could only see Old Lan’s hand stretched out from the side.

 

“Clang!”

 

Almost without any warning, a dull sound was heard as a window suddenly shattered, tearing the curtain along with it.

 

Everyone inside the bus was startled. Before they had time to react, more windows shattered one after another.

 

The commotion even caught the attention of some superhumans. But before they could take a closer look, the surrounding zombies suddenly went berserk.

 

“What the hell!”

 

“Did someone fire a gun just now?”

 

“Everyone, shut up and stay alert!”

 

Amid the clamor, Ling Mo’s gaze remained fixed on Old Lan’s hand.

 

As the last window shattered, Old Lan’s hand finally moved!

 

He suddenly clenched his fist!

 

“It’s him!”

 

Ling Mo barely had time to look back, but the master ball was still in play.

 

Almost simultaneously with identifying the target, the master ball lunged forward and slipped into the nape of the man’s neck.

 

The man had been hiding behind the couch, calling for the lights to be turned off, when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

 

Immediately, it felt as though a needle had pierced his brain, and his eyes widened in shock!

 

At the same time, the “white-eyed man” in the small car rolled his eyes upward, slightly opened his mouth, and grabbed his collar.

 

“What’s happening?”

 

“Are you okay?”

 

“Does this look okay? Think of something, quick!”

 

As chaos erupted inside the car, Ling Mo let out a muffled grunt.

 

“This guy’s psychic power, what’s wrong with it…”

 

This time, Ling Mo took personal action, using the master ball to inject his psychic tentacle into the man’s brain with the goal of… Devouring!

 

Even though the information obtained through devouring might not be complete, any clues could be invaluable. Ling Mo believed he could uncover what he needed.

 

He had a distinct advantage, one that was uniquely his!

 

This infiltration into Niepan Headquarters had made Ling Mo increasingly aware that, for Ye Lian and the others to achieve further evolution, he needed a solid foundation.

 

Take Old Lan, for example. Without the Experimental Group, what could he possibly have achieved on his own?

 

The more Ling Mo gained from Niepan, the more he understood the energy that an organization could amass-these were resources that an individual couldn’t possess.

 

From the moment he “kidnapped” Old Lan, Ling Mo had a clear plan in mind.

 

Otherwise, if Old Lan were placed in a resource-poor environment, he’d just be an ordinary mad scientist, unable to accomplish anything.

 

But the key challenge for Ling Mo was how to strike a balance between establishing a foundation and facilitating the evolution of Ye Lian and the others.

 

Right now, the most urgent task was to lay the groundwork for his foundation.

 

And the information stored in that Big Boss’s mind was the perfect cornerstone!

 

The Big Boss had gained it through taking lives, and now Ling Mo would take it from him through devouring!
