Chapter 765: I Said Its Not an Escape
At this moment, Ling Mo was still in mid-air, and the sungla.s.ses man finally waved down the hand he had been holding up.
This action was directed towards the guards at the breach, and the message was simple: Open fire!
After being messed with by Ling Mo twice, sungla.s.ses man’s patience was finally exhausted.
Kill! Kill this person!
As for his accomplices, couldn’t they be found later if they didn’t show up now? Perfect, this would serve as an opportunity to show them the fate of those who resist Niepan!
When the intense gunfire commenced, maybe some coward would be scared enough to come out on their own.
With that thought, sungla.s.ses man’s hand waved down with extra force, full of ferocity!
At the same time, everyone’s eyes focused on the sungla.s.ses man’s hand.
The unusual tone he used when he called out had already drawn a lot of attention, and now he suddenly made this action, naturally becoming the center of everyone’s focus.
As his hand fully waved down, an invisible chill swept through the crowd.
He was going to make a ruthless move…
Although most people had no idea who this person was or where he came from, his manner of easily deciding someone’s life or death exuded an inherent sense of fearsome authority!
What does it mean to wield absolute power? Just look at his actions and that confident expression!
“Die!”
Sungla.s.ses man glared viciously at Ling Mo, a cold smile creeping onto his face.
He seemed to have already seen Ling Mo’s helpless struggle and his eventual fall like a discarded rag.
Weren’t these Experimental Subjects lured out by them? They’ll be fed with his corpse then!
“Fight me? You’re out of your league!”
Sungla.s.ses man pondered smugly, but suddenly felt something was off.
His hand had already waved down, but where were the gunshots?
“Didn’t they say to follow my hand signal?”
Sungla.s.ses man was furious. Just a moment ago, his left hand practically had a spotlight on it, waving for everyone to see!
Not just him; even those in the crowd who weren’t entangled with zombies stood on tiptoe, turning their heads towards the breach.
Unfortunately, they were blocked either by people or zombies, it’s not so easy to see clearly.
Just a moment ago, everyone’s attention was on sungla.s.ses man and Ling Mo; who would focus on the guards?
Sungla.s.ses man suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly turned his head.
One glance, and his expression changed.
A man beside him muttered, “Why are those people just standing there?”
At the breach, about a dozen figures were indeed standing there but without any movement.
Squinting his eyes for a better look, the man suddenly gasped in shock.
Those people weren’t just standing there; they were clearly bound to the machine guns and barbed wire! No wonder it looked odd-what kind of terrible puppet show was this?
But seriously, who could have silently managed to take down a dozen guards at once? When Ling Mo jumped up, the guards had responded to their signals, and it hadn’t even been a minute since. How did this happen?!
In the blink of an eye, cold sweat drenched the man’s back.
Sungla.s.ses man obviously noticed this too. At that moment, two of the machine guns suddenly moved ominously, and gunfire erupted!
“d.a.m.n!”
Someone in the crowd cursed, and instantly everyone ducked to the ground.
And the machine guns were pointed right at them!
How ironic-all these things being used against them were from Niepan!
Experimental Subjects, machine guns!
There should be a limit to using local resources!
Though sungla.s.ses man reacted quickly, as soon as he dodged behind Team Leader Li, Ling Mo, almost touching down, leaped up and made a grabbing motion towards sungla.s.ses man from nearly thirty meters away.
Sungla.s.ses man, still turning his head, hadn’t antic.i.p.ated this. Someone in the crowd started shouting, “He’s coming back!”
The shouts were drowned in the gunfire, hard to hear clearly.
“What?”
As the thought flashed through sungla.s.ses man’s mind, he suddenly felt an invisible noose tighten around his neck.
As a superhuman with mental abilities, what kind of physical defense could he make?
With that invisible noose tightening around him, before he could react, his entire body was suddenly lifted off the ground.
“What kind of superpower is this?!”
Hearing the whoos.h.i.+ng wind and the chaotic gunfire around him, sungla.s.ses man was utterly bewildered.
Was this Ling Mo’s doing?
How many more tricks did this mental ability user have up his sleeve?
Sungla.s.ses man tried to struggle, but it was clear that Ling Mo had planned this meticulously. The force was astonis.h.i.+ng, and the speed was beyond belief!
Moreover, being suspended in mid-air without any leverage, and with a physique no different from an ordinary person, sungla.s.ses man’s struggle was futile.
The first to recover was the man beside sungla.s.ses man. He quickly leapt up, reaching out to grab him, but suddenly noticed Ling Mo squinting his eyes at him: “Didn’t I say? I really wasn’t trying to run.”
“d.a.m.n…” Just as the man sensed something was wrong, his head felt like it was. .h.i.t with a powerful punch, causing his actions to go awry.
He tumbled to the ground in a rather undignified manner. Before he could get up, he shouted, “Stop him!”
That shout was what finally snapped everyone around them back to reality.
Seeing sungla.s.ses man being launched towards Ling Mo like a human cannonball, everyone was dumbstruck.
This guy… he’s far more than just brazen!
Forced into corners repeatedly, this guy not only kept his cool but dared to s.n.a.t.c.h someone right under everyone’s noses!
It seemed he never intended to escape from the start; all his actions were aimed at seizing this moment.
Even if he had outside a.s.sistance, there was no need for such audacity!
And the bizarre method Ling Mo just used once again caused a stir among the crowd.
Several mental ability users, having just been startled by the gunfire, were hit by a second wave of shock.
Ling Mo wasn’t giving them any chance…
The gunfire pinned many people down. Though some wanted to move, they hesitated after glancing at sungla.s.ses man.
Who was this guy?
And as for the man in mid-air, what was the point of capturing sungla.s.ses man?
The Experimental Group’s Team Leader, crouching inside the vehicle with his hands covering his head, also witnessed the scene and began to speculate about Ling Mo’s intentions.
From the looks of it, this guy intended to take a hostage and then negotiate terms with them…
“But he’s really thinking too simply. There’s no way the Big Boss would let them go just for one person…” the Team Leader thought to himself as he turned to look back inside the vehicle.
What he saw shocked him- the Big Boss’s expression had suddenly changed!
It wasn’t fury or cruelty, but an expression like someone had his heart gripped tightly in fear.
Specifically, the Big Boss was staring wide-eyed, with his mouth twitching slightly, his body slumped against the sofa, and his eyes staring blankly ahead. Upon closer inspection, he was also taking shallow breaths as if he couldn’t get enough air.
“Big Boss…”
The Team Leader half-crawled over, only to find that the Big Boss showed no response at all.
“Are you alright? Big Boss?”
After shouting several times with no answer, the Team Leader suddenly felt his pulse quicken. He vaguely caught onto some key points but couldn’t piece them together in his mind…
While Ling Mo made his move, he also signaled in the direction where Mu Chen was.
Mu Chen had been intently watching Ling Mo, his emotions fluctuating with Ling Mo’s every action.
Finally seeing the signal, Mu Chen felt a sudden urge to cry tears of joy.
“This d.a.m.ned captain…”
He muttered as he helped Old Lan out of their hiding spot.
Lan Lan kept glancing back towards where Ling Mo was, unable to help but marvel, “He is so bold…”
“Let’s move quickly!”
Mu Chen yanked Old Lan and squeezed into the gap between the car and the barbed wire, then quickly bent over and dashed towards the exit.
“Aren’t we using that hole?” Old Lan asked while they ran.
“Ling Mo wants us to use the main gate!” Mu Chen explained, though he was also feeling a bit uneasy inside.
This Ling Mo was incredibly brazen…
s.n.a.t.c.hing someone from right under their noses and then having his allies leave through the front gate…
Even if Niepan’s senior management didn’t die from anger, they’d undoubtedly be furious!
As they got closer, Mu Chen suddenly noticed something strange, and Lan Lan’s mouth dropped open in shock too.
The two machine guns were firing wildly, but their barrels weren’t actually aimed at anyone. They were just suppressing their targets, preventing them from lifting their heads. Whenever someone tried to move, the gun barrels would tilt down in response, creating a suppressive fire situation.
Who would dare to confront bullets head-on?
These light machine guns fired by pressing the trigger, and the triggers of these two guns were being “operated” by two guards who seemed to have been knocked unconscious. Their index fingers had been placed on the triggers by someone else.
But how their fingers managed to keep pressing the trigger while they were unconscious was something Mu Chen couldn’t fathom.
“Maybe it’s too dark, and there are mechanisms I can’t see…” he thought.
Lan Lan and Old Lan were also astonished by what they saw, but Mu Chen quickly urged them to bypa.s.s the guards and run towards the nearby opening.
“Why aren’t those guns shooting at the people?” Lan Lan asked while running.
Mu Chen nearly bit his tongue, glancing at Lan Lan in shock, he said, “That would result in a lot of casualties.”
“Aren’t you afraid of being hunted down later?” Lan Lan innocently blinked, “I was just thinking of you guys.”
“Killing them now would make us no different from murderers. These people might not come looking for trouble after this. After what happened today, they’ll think twice about coming after us,” Mu Chen explained.
“Don’t act like you’re so capable or anything…” Lan Lan retorted mercilessly.
Old Lan nodded in agreement, “If you were really that ruthless, I’d have to reconsider. Dreams are important, but not if it means throwing Lan Lan into the fire.”
“This old man really speaks reason… but could you at least teach your daughter better first?” Mu Chen said, exasperated.
Just then, loud shouting could be heard from behind: “Someone’s running from the front!”
“That person is… seems like the Deputy Team Leader!”
The Experimental Group’s Team Leader had just directed people to retrieve the man with sungla.s.ses when he heard this, causing him to black out from frustration.
