Chapter 769 – Whose Door Opened?!

“Hurry up and go!” Big Boss yelled impatiently.
The senior management team shuddered at the same time and scrambled to get off the bus.
“Right, gather all the mental ability superhumans. I have something for them to do,” Big Boss shouted again.
“Yes!”
The Experimental Group Team Leader eagerly responded, and then got off the bus first.
Soon, only Big Boss was left in the bus.
He sat on the sofa, facing away from the door, his body still twitching involuntarily.
As the bus door closed, Big Boss’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened.
He slowly turned his head towards the side window.
This side of the school bus had not been attacked by Ling Mo and appeared intact. Outside the window was the building’s outer wall, dark and devoid of any human figures.
What Big Boss was looking at was his own reflection in the glass.
Under the light, his appearance was clear.
A sullen face with slightly twisted features, but most striking were his eyes.
At this moment, his condition was exactly the same as the sunglasses man…
Staring at his own white-eyed reflection in the window, Big Boss suddenly gritted his teeth and grabbed the ashtray on the coffee table in front of him, hurling it with force.
“Clang!”
With this crisp sound, Big Boss squeezed out an angry roar through his teeth, “You’re all going to die! You’re all going to die!”
…
In the green belt of the Medical University, a group of people was cautiously advancing along a makeshift “path.”
But calling it a path was generous; it looked more like a giant ball had intentionally rolled through, albeit not very smoothly.
Sharp blades of grass were pressed to the ground, and the bushes were forcibly split open.
Old Lan, following Mu Chen with a shocked expression, suddenly exclaimed, “This must have been made by a mutation beast!”
“How is that possible…” Ling Mo said dismissively.
However, deep down, he was equally astonished. How could he figure that out?!
Logically speaking, the way Xiao Bai rolls around so clumsily shouldn’t match the agility typical of mutation beasts, right?
If anyone else saw these marks, they’d think a human made them for sure.
And by “anyone else,” I mean Lan Lan and Mu Chen, who both looked surprised on the side.
“No way, this was made by Xia Na and the others,” Lan Lan said.
Mu Chen nodded: “Don’t underestimate them just because they look delicate. Do you think Xia Na’s Scythe is just for show? It’s specially designed for cutting grass and can even unleash unparalleled skills…”
“Do you want to keep talking?” Xia Na asked with a smile.
“I apologize.” Mu Chen quickly shut his mouth.
Old Lan shook his head and excitedly said, “No, no, although there are marks from the Scythe, look at these indentation marks and the broken grass blades. Take a closer look here…”
“Most likely a mutation beast just rolled through here. Not a big deal,” Ling Mo said.
“There should be plenty of mutation beasts that get bored and roll around in the grass…” Lan Lan said offhandedly. She also squatted down but couldn’t see anything unusual. It didn’t stop her from moving around with a perpetual smile, and if the “path” were any wider, she might even have done an impromptu ballet performance.
Mu Chen chimed in, “Some animals have these habits…”
However, his expression showed clear annoyance. The pursuers were right behind them, yet what were this father and daughter duo doing?
One was practically using a magnifying glass to inspect everything, and the other looked as if she was going to fly away in joy…
Was this really necessary?!
Mu Chen didn’t realize that this pair hadn’t left the Niepan headquarters for almost a year…
Lan Lan, with her youthful exuberance, suddenly finding herself free again and not in any mortal danger, naturally expressed her joy.
And Old Lan?
Well, he was a bit of a nutcase…
“Still, it’s rare to see something roll a whole path like this!” Old Lan insisted.
“Then you must have seen it wrong,” Ling Mo said.
Old Lan wanted to say something more but noticed Ling Mo squinting his eyes, staring at him with a hint of annoyance.
He froze for a moment and then came to his senses.
Could it be, that zombie?!
Old Lan suddenly became excited again. Who would have thought that the zombie could even control a mutation beast!
But generally speaking, zombies and mutation beasts are like water and fire, mortal enemies…
Old Lan frowned and pondered for a moment before attributing the answer to the zombie’s brain mutation.
If it can handle humans, why not a couple of mutation beasts?
With this thought, he relaxed, nodding his head while stroking his chin, looking like he understood everything.
Ling Mo could only shake his head helplessly. Throughout the journey, Old Lan was the hardest to fool.
In such dark conditions, it’s impressive that he could observe things so closely!
So close to the ground, might as well lie down and look!
But the Zombie Puppet seemed to be a cure-all. Ling Mo didn’t even need to explain anything; Old Lan would come up with elaborate theories on his own…
Luckily, Ye Lian and Xia Na appeared normal on the outside. Although Old Lan glanced at them a couple of times, he didn’t notice anything unusual. He just patted Ling Mo on the shoulder sentimentally and said, “You’re really something… Back in the day, when I was studying abroad, I moved through a sea of flowers without a single leaf sticking to me1…”
“So, you didn’t pick up a single girl?” Ling Mo keenly saw through the essence of his words.
Old Lan immediately retracted his smile and nodded solemnly, “They just didn’t appreciate me!”
After finishing, he looked at Ling Mo with a nostalgic expression, “But you actually have two… and they’re both so pretty…”
“Three,” Ling Mo corrected.
“Are they beautiful?”
“Quite nice.” Ling Mo demurred a bit.
“…I suddenly want to go back to Niepan…” Old Lan said with a sorrowful expression after a few seconds of silence.
“Hehe,” Ling Mo chuckled.
…
As he was lost in thought, Lan Lan suddenly turned around, lowered her voice, and asked, “Hey, why can’t we call Nana by her name?”
“I’ll tell you later,” Ling Mo said cryptically.
Walking ahead, Xia Na seemed to sense something, and she turned back to Ling Mo with a smile.
Ling Mo returned the smile but couldn’t help thinking internally, how could he possibly tell Lan Lan that there are two Xia Nas in one body?
Calling her Nana makes the spiritual body happy, but it would upset the Zombie main body!
When Xia Na is upset, Ling Mo can’t guarantee she won’t do something weird…
Meanwhile, Xia Na had already turned her head to whisper something to Ye Lian, who was at the front.
Soon, Ling Mo heard Ye Lian’s timid voice, “Huh? Ling… Ling-Ge, your… your zipper is open?”
“Who has their zipper open!” Ling Mo snapped.
This girl Xia Na… She really takes every chance to mess with him!
“If you want to look, just say so,” Ling Mo added.
“Let Yu Shiran take a look…” Xia Na said with a smile.
“Hey…”
Mentioning Yu Shiran made Ling Mo feel a bit on edge, but also amused.
Would he really be so perverted as to unzip his pants in front of a Loli?
Just after he spoke, Ling Mo realized Lan Lan was also looking at him with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.
“It’s really not open!” Ling Mo said loudly.
Mu Chen finally couldn’t help but sigh, “Can you guys have a little sense of crisis…”
“Oh right, I meant to ask earlier, why did you bring along this ingrate?” Lan Lan pointed to the sunglasses man that Ling Mo was dragging and asked.
Hearing Lan Lan mention him, the sunglasses man whimpered twice and began struggling once more.
However, with that movement, the shoulder got immediately scratched by a nearby grass blade, the intense pain making his eyes widen, and his whimpering became more urgent.
“His mouth is already gagged; can’t he just behave?” Ling Mo said, though his foot ruthlessly kicked out again.
This kick landed perfectly on the sunglasses man’s waist, making his whole body stiffen, then slump back down.
At this moment, the sunglasses man looked quite pathetic with a rope tied around his mouth, which had a wad of cloth stuffed in it. His hands and feet were securely bound with ropes, while Ling Mo still gripped him by the back of his neck.
At this moment, although Ling Mo looked somewhat pale, his physical strength was still sufficient.
His psychic power, which had been consumed, was gradually recovering as they walked…
As for the master ball on the sunglasses man’s head, it had now moved to his hindbrain.
Restricted by that suction power, the sunglasses man didn’t even dare to use his psychic power.
However, Ling Mo didn’t intend for the master ball to absorb him; it was just a preventative measure.
And as it turned out, it was quite effective.
“Old Lan,” Ling Mo didn’t answer Lan Lan’s question; instead, he turned his head and asked, “Can you confirm that the person in the car earlier was the Big Boss you initially met?”
“Yes,” Old Lan withdrew his gaze from their surroundings and nodded.
“And him, you really don’t recognize him?” Ling Mo asked.
Old Lan glanced disinterestedly at the sunglasses man, “Don’t know him, never seen him. He looks so strange that if I had seen him, I’d definitely remember.”
“Whimper whimper!” the sunglasses man muttered again.
“I see… In that case, there’s nothing.” Ling Mo pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked down and smiled at the sunglasses man, “I have a hypothesis, and once we get back, I’ll need your cooperation to verify it.”
“Whimper whimper whimper!” The sunglasses man stiffened his neck, looking quite agitated.
Ling Mo snorted coldly, guessing that the sunglasses man probably intended to say something like he’d rather die than submit, or that Ling Mo should just kill him…
“Think dying is that easy?” Ling Mo said in a low voice.
The sunglasses man suddenly went quiet, a hint of panic appearing in his “eyes” for the first time as he looked at Ling Mo.
But Ling Mo paid him no further attention and began chatting casually with Xia Na and the others again.
Lan Lan also chimed in occasionally, and in this eerie green belt, the group of escapees oddly seemed quite relaxed and carefree.
Mu Chen had completely given up, muttering to himself, “Forget it, there’s no way those people could’ve guessed our escape route would be like this…”
