Chapter 860: Flaw
Before leaving, Ling Mo casually took a Communicator from Yang Mei’s pocket…
During the questioning, he also inquired about Yang Mei’s persistent appearances, and the answer made him a bit wary.
Surveillance cameras… hidden within the Ceiling, making them difficult for outsiders to notice. Of course, such cameras wouldn’t exist in the chief captain’s room.
As the secretary, Yang Mei could access most of the related information, including the whereabouts of a captain like him, and even some of his previous actions. However, what initially aroused her suspicion was a flaw that Ling Mo himself had not noticed.
Scent… There was a faint smell of blood on him.
There were no visible injuries on exposed areas, and his clothes showed no signs of damage. But if he had encountered danger, why did he remain so calm? Such an obvious inconsistency naturally attracted Yang Mei’s attention.
Next was the confirmation… Ling Mo thought he could avoid her scrutiny by speaking little with her, but in reality, her actions had already begun when they came face to face. Confirming the scent of blood, along with Ling Mo’s evasive behavior… all these oddities came together, prompting Yang Mei’s investigation.
After locating the Patrol Team Members through the Communicator, what happened at the Airport became clear…
There was nothing special; the captain had left once before…
“Since nothing happened at the Airport, the problem must only lie with the captain.”
Once this was confirmed, tracing Ling Mo’s movements through the surveillance cameras made the whole thing seem easy.
Her only miscalculation was that Ling Mo had no significant concerns and was not going to comply with her probing…
“Such a cautious woman. So, she noticed when I sneaked out from the Restroom earlier… However, Yang Mei hasn’t told anyone about my unusual behavior. Her following me might actually spark some gossip. Anyway, at least it won’t draw anyone else’s attention in the short term. But what I need to focus on now is the other person she mentioned…”
The captain of the Destruction Squad, one of Chief of Staff Wang’s trusted aides, and quite possibly the most prominent of the “nails”…
Though referred to as a captain, this person is more like a bodyguard for Chief of Staff Wang. His role here is similar to acting as the eyes that monitor on behalf of Chief of Staff Wang. The personnel stationed at the Second Camp are rotated regularly, but this captain has always remained. In terms of tenure, he’s something of an old-timer-a veteran who’s stuck around here.
“If I’m lucky, he might just be the deepest buried one…”
An hour later, a meeting would take place, and this person named Qi Tianyi would attend, which, for Ling Mo, was an opportunity.
“Entering the meeting directly is too difficult and too risky. The best approach is… to intercept him on the way!”
As the captain of the Destruction Squad, Qi Tianyi’s residence is naturally heavily guarded.
But when he leaves his residence for the Meeting Room, he absolutely won’t have as many people with him.
“The best outcome is if he goes alone; even if he takes people with him, it won’t be more than two. If I can take care of him before the meeting starts, then perhaps I can deal with all the Falcon Members at once through the meeting! Even if Qi Tianyi isn’t the deepest nail, he definitely knows who is!”
As Ling Mo approached the two guards, he mused, “Whoever you are, for cooperating with Falcon to ambush me, you must pay the price!”
“Secretary Yang and the captain have some matters to discuss. No interruptions,” Ling Mo said calmly, facing the two guards.
His deadpan expression was indeed quite convincing, and after exchanging a glance, the two simply nodded without asking further questions.
“That should do it. Even if someone comes looking for these two, they won’t approach recklessly. An hour is plenty of time to gain an advantage!”
Leaving the Corridor, Ling Mo continued walking forward.
“Every Corridor has surveillance cameras, so many that even Yang Mei can’t remember all their locations… But besides the rooms, there’s one place where cameras are absolutely not permitted… Unfortunately, with cameras around, I can’t recklessly approach Yuwen Xuan and the others…” ʀà𝐍Ô𐌱ЕṨ
Spotting the Restroom sign ahead, Ling Mo quickly clutched his stomach and sped up.
“Bang!”
As soon as the cubicle door closed, Ling Mo clenched his fist tightly.
His back arched, and the muscles he’d been desperately suppressing began to writhe vigorously.
His previously inconspicuous muscles bulged, emitting faint explosive sounds from within.
“Damn, if this continues, I’ll be in trouble! Such a noticeable change in physique would make even a fool suspicious! There’s no way to explain going in and coming out as a bodybuilder with any excuse!”
“In any case, I need to find a way to resolve this spinach-like situation first…”
At that moment, a red Jellyfish appeared above his head…
While Ling Mo’s Zombie Puppet rapidly evolved, in the wilderness, a group of figures silently advanced toward the Second Camp.
This group’s weaponry was noticeably better than that of the previous Glasses Man and his companions, on par with the destroyed Destruction Squad.
More importantly, these people were clearly not ordinary; like lurking predators, they moved forward inch by inch through the wilderness.
“Here!”
A Soldier, moving stealthily, suddenly parted the grass ahead and picked up an empty water bottle from the ground.
He brought the bottle to his nose, sniffed, and said, “Between three to five days.”
With a gesture behind him, more people immediately spread out, using this spot as their focal point.
“Following the tracks left by Ling Mo and the others, it shouldn’t be hard to find their current location. Based on the current intelligence, they haven’t entered the Second Camp yet… Remember, our primary task is to search. Do not engage in direct contact! It’s best if we can force them…”
Just then, a muffled groan suddenly came from the grass. The foliage shook…
“No. 19 is missing!”
“Ah! No. 21 is gone too!”
“No. 7 as well…”
“What about No. 11? He was right behind me!”
The remaining Soldiers immediately gathered together, their gun muzzles aimed warily at their surroundings.
It was as if a terrifying mouth lay hidden among the rustling leaves, silently devouring them one by one…
“Swish!”
Two flashes of cold light swept swiftly across, and as a head flew off, the lights collided in a mist of blood before each headed for another target.
“Attack!”
Just as someone shouted, a timid voice suddenly whispered in his ear.
“Boom.”
“Gurgle…” As the light faded from his eyes, his gun tilted, accidentally riddling a nearby ally with bullets…
“What’s happening?! These Superpowers… don’t belong to Ling Mo and his group!”
The leading Soldier immediately dropped to the ground, gripping his gun and scanning the area nervously.
“Curious, are you?”
A female voice suddenly came from above, and as the Soldier looked up, a woman wearing a Tight Leather Suit, exuding a wild beauty, appeared in front of him.
Her Machine Gun was already aimed at them: “Too bad, that’s not something you’re meant to know…”
“You are…”
His eyes widened just as her gun erupted with flames.
The rapid gunfire drowned out all other sounds, and shortly after, a man with a vicious look in his eye appeared next to a pile of corpses, casually clutching a corpse riddled with wounds.
He tossed the corpse to the ground, then retrieved two Short Knives from other bodies.
“That’s taken care of.”
The woman, holding her smoking Machine Gun, nodded: “Taking out the reinforcements… was indeed easy in an ambush. But this kind of thing can only succeed once…”
“Once is enough, right?” another voice came from behind.
He also carried a corpse, but his expression was one of dissatisfaction: “I’m an instructor, after all. Why do I have to do this kind of thing…”
