Chapter 779 – Life Is Full of Pitfalls
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The Interim Captain originally thought he would have to wait a bit longer and that the message he brought might even be for him to report back in person. But to his surprise, Captain Song, who was incredibly busy, rushed over the moment he received the message…
With an angry expression, he stormed up to the group and immediately shouted, “Where is that guy named Ling?”
The shout startled everyone present, but what caught more attention was his appearance…
His face was covered in soot, his clothes were torn to rags, and half a sleeve hung loosely from his arm, swaying with his movements…
The usually authoritative Captain Song looked quite the mess…
However, no one dared to laugh as his menacing gaze swept over them.
Captain Song himself didn’t mind his appearance; he didn’t have time to change, nor did he care to!
Initially, he thought only Mu Chen was worth noting, but he ended up being outwitted by that seemingly insignificant kid!
Upstairs?
The upstairs was full of monsters!
When they finally made it to the Sixth Floor, they found that the Laboratory was already empty!
“Could they be hiding somewhere?” one member speculated.
Captain Song initially thought the same, but as soon as he walked into the Inner Room, a large note caught his eye on the wall!
“I’ve decided to chase my dreams. Bye-bye.”
Damn it! Adding an English version underneath it too! This isn’t a movie; there’s no need for subtitles!
Seeing the cleared-out cabinets and the scattered reports on the ground, even an idiot could tell they had fled!
Even if Captain Song was slow on the uptake, he was starting to realize what had happened by now.
Why didn’t those two follow them up here?
Earlier, Captain Song had been preoccupied with the Deputy Team Leader and assumed that the guy named Ling was staying back because he was ineffective or not in good condition. Mu Chen, being his companion, stayed back as well. But now that he thought about it, something seemed off!
With all the commotion upstairs, why didn’t they react?
Moreover…
“Where’s the other person?” Captain Song hurriedly asked.
“Probably trapped down there by those Monsters,” someone beside him replied.
“No! We need to get down there immediately!” A flicker of panic flashed in Captain Song’s eyes.
Even while rushing downstairs, Captain Song clung to a sliver of hope…
He had brought these people here; he couldn’t let anything happen to them!
But the more he thought about it, the more suspicious things seemed.
Why, out of so many people, had he specifically called those two over at that time?
Now that he thought about it, besides knowing Ling Ge and his mental ability, was the bigger reason because they had locked eyes?
That’s it… In such a dim and chaotic environment, he shouldn’t have noticed them immediately…
The reason for such a situation was that Ling Ge had deliberately locked eyes with him using his glowing eyes!
“Damn!”
Captain Song was instantly furious. Turns out, Ling Ge was the real actor here!
How could someone who could influence him with just a look give up so quickly?
It’s over…
By the time they rushed downstairs, Captain Song’s hopes had already sunk to the bottom.
So when a particularly battered Member angrily accused Ling Ge and his group, Captain Song didn’t react much.
In such a critical moment, his qualities as a leader immediately shone through.
“Chase them! They must be trapped within the Barbed Wire; they won’t escape that quickly!” Captain Song quickly made his judgment.
In fact, his thinking was very rational and practical.
But what he didn’t anticipate was that without Ling Mo’s guidance, it took them quite a bit of time just to reach the main door.
Zombies, smoke, gunfire… all these interfering factors together made it a complete disaster!
But that wasn’t the worst part. When they finally saw the main door, they found it had been blocked!
With a large number of Zombies blocking them and the open ground, escaping was no longer the issue-survival itself had become questionable!
“What the hell is going on here!”
And so, Captain Song found himself grudgingly hiding indoors, unable to venture out. He had to avoid the burning areas while constantly facing the threat of Zombie attacks. Finally, when he managed to regroup with others and wait for the situation to improve, he suddenly got the news that Ling Ge had arrogantly escaped.
Captain Song went on a rampage, feeling like they had been played for fools!
Especially himself, as he had suffered the most!
So when he heard that the first squad sent to chase them had returned, Captain Song immediately dropped everything and rushed over…
His shout left everyone silent.
Looking at their miserable state, Captain Song instantly understood.
It seemed this group had been duped as well…
“Where are they?” he asked angrily.
“They ran away,” Xiao Pan replied. “He tricked us into a building and captured all of us.”
Xiao Pan spoke bluntly, but everyone around him broke into a cold sweat.
Especially those guards who hadn’t participated in the chase-their expressions were quite colorful.
One person captured all of them? That must be a joke…
Even though that guy named Ling was indeed formidable, it was still hard to believe that such a large group would be so powerless!
“There were probably two people,” Xiao Pan explained. “But we can’t be sure about the real situation. We saw only two people in front of us.”
“One, two…” a guard began counting heads directly, “You had about ten people!”
The Interim Captain looked helpless: “Their abilities were too freaky…”
“The other one should be Mu Chen…” Captain Song was still pondering.
But Xiao Pan continued, “Yes, you saw the strength of that young man yourselves, and the girl with him was also very strong, perhaps even stronger in close combat, much stronger…”
“Wait! You said a girl?” Captain Song interrupted in shock.
Xiao Pan nodded and said, “Yes, a very beautiful girl, probably around nineteen or twenty. Her Hair is about this long, wearing a dress and flat white leather shoes. Judging by her neat appearance and outfit, her survival skills must be quite strong. But what’s more noteworthy is her aura. Just a glance from her, and you’d feel the explosive power within her. Simply put, she looks beautiful but is actually very dangerous.”
“Another beautiful girl?”
“Is she that guy’s girlfriend?”
“Damn! It’s bad enough he’s strong, but he also has a girlfriend who’s just as powerful. How are the rest of us supposed to survive?”
“Well, you can just die, then.”
“Shut up!”
Someone nearby laughed, “Even if you did see a beauty, there’s no need to keep emphasizing it.”
Clearly, this person wasn’t part of the chasing squad. Speaking from the sidelines without any pressure, his comment earned him glares from several others.
“Do you think everyone is like you, only caring about the beauty?”
“If you really ran into her, you’d be lucky to see her and even luckier to live to tell the story.”
Xiao Pan remained serious, “I didn’t dare look at her closely at the time, but such beautiful girls are rare. Her aura can serve as a warning for anyone who encounters her in the future. I’m recounting this to provide feedback.”
The Interim Captain’s eyes flashed with embarrassment. Compared to Xiao Pan, he had been too scared to think about gathering any intelligence…
“Yes, your observation skills are strong,” Captain Song said with a complex expression. He turned to the person next to him and told them to write it down.
Though the sudden appearance of the girl was intriguing, Captain Song was more concerned with the situation involving Ling Ge.
“He captured you for a purpose, right?” Captain Song’s eyes sharpened as he spoke.
The implication was clear to everyone: Why did the guy named Ling capture but not kill you?
Everyone in the chasing squad turned their gaze to the Interim Captain, even Xiao Pan looked over at him.
“You know something?” Captain Song immediately turned his gaze toward him.
The Interim Captain felt the pressure instantly. Struggling, he slid off the person he was leaning on and weakly clung to them, “Well… because I was appointed as the Squad Leader by the Team Leader at the time…”
“Get to the point,” Captain Song waved his hand and said.
In Captain Song’s eyes, a temporary Squad Leader was nothing. If it weren’t for the useful Intelligence Xiao Pan had just provided, he would have kicked this guy by now.
Getting captured and returning in disgrace didn’t exactly do wonders for his reputation!
His face was already blackened enough; this was just making him look even worse!
The Interim Captain shivered and hurriedly said, “His strength was overwhelming. At the time…”
After briefly recounting what had happened in the building, he quickly added, “The guy left me with a message, specifically to tell the Big Boss…”
Captain Song was still in shock, and it took him a while to regain his composure. “What was the message?”
“I… I can’t say…” the Interim Captain stammered.
“What did you say?” Captain Song’s brow furrowed.
The Interim Captain could barely stand, “I really can’t say… that guy said if I told anyone, the Big Boss would kill me. And if you heard it, the Big Boss would kill you too…”
“I think you’re asking for trouble!”
Captain Song’s eyes grew even darker. He was already on the verge of a rampage, and this guy had the nerve to come out with such a statement!
Kill him? What kind of message could have such power!
Cold Sweat dripped from the Interim Captain’s forehead, but he insisted, “I’m… I’m serious…”
Captain Song gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he slowly released them.
“You better think carefully. Analyze whether that guy was just trying to mess with the Big Boss. Don’t end up becoming an accomplice without realizing it,” he said grimly.
The Interim Captain rubbed the Sweat from his palms and nodded nervously.
