I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 755 – Three “Ostriches”

Ling Mo and Mu Chen were the last to run out, and they certainly stood out. When Captain Song called out, Mu Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and he silently clenched his knife handle.

He looked at Ling Mo with a tense expression, wondering what Ling Mo planned to do next.

On their way down, Mu Chen had asked many questions, but Ling Mo, as usual, avoided answering most of them. As a result, Mu Chen had been busy setting fires all the way, and still had no idea what had actually happened.

But there was one question Ling Mo did answer.

“What do we do now?”

“Run away…”

It was maddening!

But since Ling Mo had made the decision, it meant he had already obtained what he was looking for at the Niepan headquarters.

Mu Chen could hardly believe that Ling Mo had succeeded so quickly. Not only that, but he had also caused such a huge commotion! Who knew what kind of trouble Ling Mo had stirred up inside…

But no matter what, Xu Shuhan was saved!

And those arrogant headquarters members… they could all go shove it!

Mu Chen felt a sense of relief, but also a sense of tension. Even though the inside was chaotic, escaping would still be difficult, as there were two more layers of defense outside.

And now, they were being blocked again…

Hearing about the contribution points, two members stopped but didn’t dare to approach recklessly.

Captain Song shouted, “I need five people to go with me to the Experimental Group! One hundred contribution points for each!”

He then turned to look at Ling Mo and Mu Chen, finally fixing his gaze on Ling Mo’s face: “You’re a psychic probe, right? You have to come.”

Mu Chen immediately understood. No wonder this guy was targeting them, he remembered that Ling Mo had mental abilities.

Zombies could pop up anywhere, and there might still be some left in the Laboratory Building. Plus, with smoke everywhere, having a mental ability superhuman was like carrying a mine detector and radar. How could Captain Song overlook such a convenient superhuman? As for whether there were any other mental ability superhumans here… firstly, he didn’t know them, and secondly, in this chaos, how could he go around looking for one?

While speaking, he glanced at that woman briefly but didn’t suspect anything. After all, she appeared to have been rescued by Ling Mo and Mu Chen.

Maybe she was knocked out by the smoke? With so much going on, he really had no time to worry about an ordinary member.

Mu Chen furrowed his brows; with other people around, leaving wouldn’t be easy, and fighting was out of the question.

But to Mu Chen’s surprise, Ling Mo nodded and said, “Okay.”

“Hmm, who else is coming?” Captain Song breathed a slight sigh of relief and went back to finding more people.

“Leave this woman here; she won’t wake up for a while,” Ling Mo turned to Mu Chen and said.

Mu Chen, feeling frustrated, whispered, “Why are you following him? We should be running away, right?”

“I’ve got a plan,” Ling Mo smiled.

“…I give up,” Mu Chen said, exasperated.

At the same time, in the empty Laboratory Building, three figures were quickly descending the stairs.

A Zombie was dragging an old man, while a girl in gray clothes followed nimbly behind.

On the way down, Old Lan and Lan Lan had already gotten a basic understanding of the situation-Ling Mo’s Zombie Puppet had released all the zombies, and these zombies were wreaking havoc at the headquarters. Taking advantage of the chaos, they planned to escape. It sounded reasonable, but something still felt off.

Could it really be that simple? Could those zombies cause such chaos so easily?

Unable to figure it out, they attributed it all to the peculiarities of the Zombie Puppet. This Zombie’s actions were so unique that it even looted his laboratory thoroughly before they set off. What couldn’t it do?

“Hurry up, those collections will be out soon!” Lan Lan urged.

Before they left, the Zombie Puppet had also released the monsters on the Sixth Floor.

Compared to common zombies, those were a bigger problem.

However, although the Zombie Puppet took the gel, the interference hadn’t dissipated yet. But without the iron chain binding them, they were slowly crawling out, and in two or three minutes, they’d be free. By then, their true combat strength would be unleashed! Not to mention, the Long-arm Zombie alone could tear this place apart!

Even though its body wasn’t a Progenitor zombie, those two arms were lethal weapons!

Listening to Lan Lan’s urging, Ling Mo decisively controlled the Zombie to grab Old Lan and carry him on its back.

Old Lan was initially stunned, but then he tearfully remarked, “I never thought I’d see the day when a Zombie would carry me! It’s unbelievable!”

“If you keep touching my back, I’ll throw you down,” Ling Mo said, face darkening.

His main body could feel everything! This old madman, this pervert…

“Can we really escape like this? Won’t we get caught between them?” Lan Lan asked nervously.

“No, just follow me,” Ling Mo said.

At this moment, this was actually the quietest place in the entire Niepan headquarters. Apart from their footsteps, there was no other sound in the whole building.

But soon, subtle noises started coming from downstairs, like someone had entered the building.

“Someone’s here!” Lan Lan quickly noticed the anomaly.

In the past, she would have been glad to encounter other survivors, signifying a chance of rescue. But now, Old Lan had made up his mind to follow this Zombie and escape…

At the moment she spoke out, Lan Lan glanced hesitantly at Old Lan.

Seeing his excited and thrilled expression, with hands itching to touch but not daring to, she couldn’t help but sigh.

“We can’t let anyone find us. What do we do?” Lan Lan asked.

Ling Mo gave her a surprised look, then grinned.

But just then, a muffled “thump” sounded from above.

Lan Lan’s face turned pale, and she asked again, “What do we do now?!”

Those collections… they were out!

And with someone coming up from downstairs, they were caught between a rock and a hard place!

“This way,” the Zombie said, unhurried.

Carrying Old Lan on its back, it walked straight out of the stairwell and then turned into an office.

Lan Lan hesitated for a moment but quickly followed.

Could this Zombie have prepared a backup plan in advance?

As soon as she entered, she saw the Zombie and Old Lan crouching beneath the window. The Zombie was making gestures, signaling her to crouch down as well.

“What the heck is this?” Lan Lan exclaimed, eyes wide open.

After speaking, she shot a glance at the Zombie, “You really are dumber than a person. Do you think hiding will solve everything? We’re already on the second floor. Even if people don’t find us, those collections will smell us out and come down here soon enough!”

“Do you have a better idea?” the Zombie asked.

Lan Lan was momentarily speechless. She huffed and turned her head away, crouching down obediently.

The three of them crouched in a line under the window, listening to the footsteps downstairs getting closer and closer.

Now, not only was Lan Lan nervous, but even Old Lan seemed tense. He opened his mouth to ask a question but saw the Zombie shake its head, signaling him to stay silent.

“Ling Ge, have you found anything?” someone softly asked from the stairs.

It was Captain Song, and he was addressing Ling Mo’s main body.

Captain Song’s attitude toward Ling Mo had completely changed. Thanks to Ling Mo’s probing, they hadn’t encountered a single Zombie on their way up!

Initially worried that Zombies might shoot at them, not only Captain Song but even the other three superhumans accompanying them were extremely tense.

After all, bullets don’t have eyes, and one stray shot could be fatal.

Most superhumans couldn’t react faster than a bullet. Even if they could avoid a shot, they’d need to see it coming first!

But according to the intelligence, many Zombies were hiding in the shadows, some even hanging from the ceiling.

“Haven’t found anything yet,” Ling Mo replied, looking up.

His face appeared pale, and a thin layer of sweat covered his forehead, indicating significant psychic power consumption for the probe.

Captain Song grew increasingly anxious. It had only been a short time, and Ling Mo seemed this exhausted. Could he hold on until they reached the Sixth Floor?

It wasn’t a matter of ability but rather a lack of overall psychic power…

But Captain Song had no idea that Ling Mo was controlling the Zombies running rampant throughout the headquarters!

Still, the prolonged multitasking control was making Ling Mo feel exhausted.

“The battery is almost drained; I need the master ball to last a bit longer. Fortunately, I can afford to slack off a bit now that we’ve reached this point…” Ling Mo thought to himself.

At this moment, the master ball had stealthily exited the Laboratory Building and was clearing a path ahead…

“So they’re still upstairs?” someone asked.

“Probe again and make sure we don’t run into any Zombies,” Captain Song instructed.

“Alright,” Ling Mo responded without making any visible movements.

Whether he actually conducted a probe or not was something only he knew…

Hearing this, Lan Lan was immediately startled. She nervously looked at the Zombie, wanting to say something but too scared to speak.

As they conversed, the group was getting closer. Only a wall separated them, and in the silence, any sound she made could be noticed by someone even slightly sensitive.

But judging by their conversation, this group clearly had a superhuman with mental abilities! Even if the person wasn’t very skilled, they’d still likely detect them!

Lan Lan was anxious, and Old Lan grabbed the Zombie’s arm, mouthing words in a panic.

Unexpectedly, though, the Zombie simply raised a hand and put a finger to its lips.

“Shh.”

Lan Lan was taken aback and then became furious, “Shh? We’re about to be discovered! Squatting here like three ostriches is humiliating if we get caught! You might as well hold up a sign saying, ‘You can’t see me!’”

But she quickly thought of a deeper possibility. Could it be…the Zombie intended to use them as hostages?

Thinking this, Lan Lan’s expression grew even more tense…
