Luo Ming paused before continuing, “The ce we’re going to this time is actually not the Second Camp…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain suddenly locked onto his forehead. At the same time, an incredibly intense feeling surfaced in Luo Ming’s mind, as if uttering another word might get him killed on the spot. The young man in front of him, who seemed calm, instantly transformed into a humanoid beast. The pressure emanating from his bright eyes was no less than what Luo Ming had experienced from a Senior Zombie…
A few secondster, Luo Ming’s body jolted, and he suddenly cleared up. However, his face turned even paler, ayer of cold sweat appeared on him, and his hands gripped tightly involuntarily.
Ling Mo gave him a slightly puzzled nce before returning to his usual expression, asking mildly, “What do you mean by this?”
Forcing a smile, Luo Ming replied, “The situation at the Second Camp is… chaotic, so we can’t go there directly. But don’t worry, Ling-Ge, Captain Tom has already made the necessary arrangements. This is merely a detour strategy, and I’m just following orders…”
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Ling Mo, his gaze gradually bing calm, as if what had just happened never urred.
Ling Mo pondered for a while, and only when Luo Ming started feeling anxious again did he finally nod and say, “Alright, I understand.”
As Ling Mo’s gaze moved away, Luo Ming’s hands trembled slightly, and his body involuntarily rxed. If Zhang Xi hadn’t nudged him with his shoulder, he might not have been able to sit up straight.
Luo Ming nced sideways at Zhang Xi, his lips moving slightly. When his peripheral visionnded on Ling Mo, a deep sense of dread flickered in his eyes…“So, how did it go?” Xia Na asked quietly, watching Ling Mo take a seat beside her.
Mu Chen, who was in the corner, also came over but silently retreated upon catching Xia Na’s gaze. However, his eyes remained on Ling Mo, feeling that something was off about Ling Mo’s behavior. When it came to boarding, Ling Mo seemed overly cautious…
Ling Mo smiled nonchntly and then leaned back in his seat. As he closed his eyes, Luo Ming at the cabin door also seemed to breathe a light sigh of relief…
After flying for about twenty more minutes, a voice suddenly came from the front cockpit. Judging by the tone, the person seemed to be speaking not only to Luo Ming and the others but alsomunicating with another helicopter: “We’re about tond, get ready… Yeah, stay safe…”
After putting down the walkie-talkie, the Co-pilot turned around, expressionless, and waved his right hand at Luo Ming, saying, “Prepare tond.”
Luo Ming silently exchanged a nce with the Co-pilot, then looked up at Ling Mo with a smile and said, “Ling-Ge. Below is the transit point selected by Captain Tom. We can take a rest here. By tonight, we should be able to infiltrate the Second Camp.”
While nodding, Ling Mo nced out the window. The helicopter was descending, and a building below was growingrger in his vision.
The empty rooftop showed no signs of life, and the Iron Door leading inside was closed. Beside the building was a deste street, which seemed devoid of any life except for various abandoned, corroded remnants. In the distance, there was a glimpse of wreckage from an explosion, and one could vaguely see part of a helicopter partially buried under the debris…
“This is the town leading to the Second Camp…” Ling Mo recognized it at once, and he gave the pile of debris a particrly long look. Suddenly, a familiar figure shed through his mind. However, he quickly shook his head vigorously and pinched his brow. “I’ve managed to suppress it for so long, don’t let it rpse now… But then again, it hasn’t acted up in ages-why is it suddenly resurfacing here? I know it’s rted to her, but she wouldn’te back here… Revisiting old haunts is not typical zombie behavior…”
Frowning slightly, Ling Mo nced at the wreckage again before shifting his gaze away.
The helicopternded…
“Finally, we’ve arrived.” Luo Ming’s smile seemed noticeably warmer than before. He quickly jumped out of the cabin and turned to Ling Mo, saying, “You can alle out now.” As he spoke, he had already stepped back several paces, as if clearing a space for them.
“Damn, my head’s spinning…” Mu Chen yawned long and hard, eager to get up from his seat. But just as he was about to follow, Ling Mo grabbed his arm, pulling him back a couple of steps.
“What’s wrong, captain…” Mu Chen started to say, slightly annoyed, but the fatigue on his face suddenly vanished. He clearly saw a warning in Ling Mo’s eyes, and such an unusual reaction immediately gave Mu Chen a sense of foreboding. Thinking back to Ling Mo’s earlier behavior, he couldn’t help but ask quietly, “Is something wrong?”
“Just be cautious,” Ling Mo shook his head, saying.
At the moment, everything appeared normal…
Ling Mo didn’t move, and naturally, none of the female zombies did either. Mu Chen stood to the side, head lowered, and gazed warily around the Rooftop. Although he didn’t notice anything unusual, he trusted Ling Mo’s instincts enough not to ignore them. So, thoughts involuntarily raced through Mu Chen’s mind, “Are there zombies? Senior Zombies?”
Over by the Iron Door, Zhang Xi had also jumped down. He stood alongside Luo Ming, both of them watching the helicopter door with dark expressions.
Luo Ming shouted, “Hurry down, we can’t afford to dy any longer…”
“Can’t afford to dy… or don’t want to dy?” Ling Mo’s cold voice suddenly echoed from inside.
Luo Ming froze for a moment, and a hint of something shed in his eyes. Before he could say anything else, Zhang Xi, who had been silent, stepped forward and said, “Come down quickly; aren’t you heading to the Second Camp?”
His tone was a bit stiff, but his voice was loud, and after a nce from Zhang Xi, Luo Ming anxiously added, “That’s right, Ling-Ge…”
“Heading there? Haha… if you’re in such a hurry, why note and help me with my luggage?” Ling Mo chuckled and said.
“Help with…” Luo Ming was taken aback again, and after a quick exchange of nces with Zhang Xi, he stepped back rather than forward, saying, “Ling-Ge, don’t joke around; those are your personal belongings. How could I dare to touch them…”
“Or is it that you don’t dare toe over?” Ling Mo interrupted him.
As Luo Ming’s brow furrowed deeper, Ling Mo continued, “Since you’ve arranged for so many people to pick me up, why hide sneakily behind the door?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Ming’s face changed dramatically, and he blurted out, “How did he find out?”
A trace of darkness shed in Zhang Xi’s eyes, and he gripped his gun tightly.
Equally shocked was Mu Chen inside the Cabin. He looked at Ling Mo in amazement and then nced outside. Meanwhile, he also keenly noticed the actions of Li Yalin and Ye Lian. The two girls had silently moved behind the Pilot and Co-pilot, taking action just as the two were about to react.
“Don’t move, or I can’t promise your head will stay in ce,” Li Yalin said with an icy smile, pressing her snake-kiss-like weapon against the Pilot’s temple, just a fraction away from piercing his skull.
The Pilot froze, his left hand slowly moving away from a button.
The Co-pilot had a cold gun barrel pressed against his hindbrain, and he trembled all over, slowly raising his hands.
At that moment, the Iron Door suddenly swung open with a “bang,” and more than a dozen people rushed out from inside.
As soon as they emerged, they arranged themselves in a fan shape around the Helicopter, all pointing their dark gun barrels at the cabin door.
In the blink of an eye, the previously peaceful Rooftop was suddenly filled with an atmosphere of danger.
“What a surprise, I didn’t expect you to notice,” said a slightly muffled male voice from behind the door. Then a short, stout middle-aged man stepped out. He wore gold-rimmed sses and looked a bit weary, but as he nced at the Helicopter, a cold smile crept onto his lips.
“But even if you’ve found out now, it’s toote. It just means more work for us. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d really manage to lure you here. My three days of waiting here weren’t in vain,” the sses Man said, ncing over at Luo Ming and Zhang Xi with a smile. “You two worked hard, running around all those suspicious ces for three days.”
“No problem…” Luo Ming replied, lowering his head.
“What… what the hell is going on?” Mu Chen waspletely dumbfounded, especially after hearing the sses Man’s words. His thoughts were in total disarray. “Why would the Second Camp go to such lengths to deal with you? Wait, no… If this were the Second Camp’s doing, we would have been caught three days ago…”
As Mu Chen’s mind raced, he heard Ling Mo say, “They’re not from the Second Camp; they’re from Falcon.” He then looked at Luo Ming and let out a coldugh. “This guy is quite the actor, and he’s got mental ability.”
As for the other one called Zhang Xi, he was obviously handpicked by Falcon. Quiet and menacing-looking, he wouldn’t arouse suspicion even if he said nothing. Paired with Luo Ming, it was even harder to spot any ws…
“Since you’ve already figured it out, why note out? Hiding doesn’t help,” the sses Manughed again.
