Chapter 562: Plundered
Chapter 562: Plundered
Big bro, big bro, how did it go? Mu Chen urged.
Ling Mo hesitated for quite a while before he slowly nodded and said, Alright.
Youre the best, big bro! Mu Chen exclaimed with joy.
He hadnt expected this person to be so easily persuaded, considering their conversation was riddled with holes and doubts.
Although it seemed like there was some reluctance, it didnt appear to be because of them.
Maybe there were internal issues at the camp?
That would make sense With that thought, everything seemed normal.
Internal conflicts abound, so they turn a blind eye to external issues.
If he had agreed too readily, Mu Chen would have been suspicious.
In fact, they had no choice; they had been clashing with the Spider Queen and searching for Team F for days, and had already pinpointed Team Fs approximate location.
But who would have thought theyd run into someone here?
Team F must be nearby, and this person, being so formidable, had to be one of its members.
So Mu Chen had a stroke of genius; he decided to infiltrate Team F. With Ling Mo in the open and themselves in the shadows, they could observe and strategize however they wanted.
Xu Shuhan, having worked with him for so long, had developed an understanding and knew exactly how to play along the moment he spoke.
Xia Zhi, the silent one, was the same whether he spoke or not.
Mu Chen had been considering what to do if things didnt go smoothly, but to his surprise, this person turned out to be quite agreeable.
But Ling Mo once again showed a troubled expression.
Ah Whats wrong? Big bro, just tell me, is there a problem? Mu Chen, still excited, felt as though a bucket of cold water had been dumped on him. What was this but about!
You know, greasing the wheels a bit Ling Mo said, clearly embarrassed.
Holy crap!!!
Not only did Mu Chens jaw drop, even Xu Shuhan, who was drinking water, almost spit it out.
So, it was a shakedown!
No wonder he agreed; there was this angle as well
Mu Chen inwardly scorned Ling Mo, but this reassured him even more.
Since Ling Mo wanted a bribe, it meant there were no other issues.
How much do you want, brother? Mu Chen asked with a hint of sarcasm. Upon discovering Ling Mos true nature, he immediately stopped calling him big bro.
Well what do you all have? Ling Mo continued, still looking embarrassed.
Darn it! Youre just robbing us! Mu Chen cursed inwardly.
Furious as he was, Mu Chen didnt want to cause more trouble at the moment. The three of them huddled together to discuss briefly, then took out everything of value they had on them.
Ling Mo glanced over their belongings and noticed that they had a lot of medicine. Although not as valuable as food, these non-renewable goods were still precious.
Many of the medicines were even unfamiliar to Ling Mo. Examining them closely, he realized they were special-effect drugs.
Ling Mo didnt quite understand their specific effects, but one look told him they were high-end and luxurious!
The power of a large faction like Niepan was indeed incomparable to that of an ordinary survivor; the information and resources they could access were far richer!
These medicines were also useful to Ling Mo, especially those for stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation. The faster they took effect, the better.
Danger wouldnt wait for one to heal before appearing. In this world full of crises, carrying injuries could sometimes be fatal.
For others, wounds meant a higher risk of infection, but for Ling Mo, even without the possibility of being infected, facing a crisis like todays would lead to uncertain outcomes.
Having injuries definitely affected performance!
However, Ling Mo always felt that he was not too far from the day he could completely do away with medicines. Once his body was fully zombified, what he would need was just more of the virus.
This and this
Mu Chen gritted his teeth in frustration as he watched Ling Mo pick and choose. His mind was in turmoil.
He had brought out a jumble of items, yet Ling Mo had the nerve to select the most valuable ones.
After a few minutes, Mu Chen couldnt help but speak up, Brother, it seems like you have quite a number of people to take care of.
Heh, there are many people in the camp Ling Mo replied earnestly.
Damn it! Mu Chen cursed inwardly and then crouched down to ask, Brother, may I inquire about something?
Go ahead, Ling Mo said, continuing to sort through the items without looking up. He had already taken all the moderately useful items.
How strong is your camp? How many psychics as powerful as you are there? Oh, and what type of special abilities do you have? Mu Chen initially hesitated to ask these questions, as people generally avoid disclosing their abilities. But now his attitude towards Ling Mo had completely changed; the man was a total money-grubber!
Not bad Ling Mo said.
Thats an understatement. Youre much stronger than me, Mu Chen replied, and this wasnt just flatteryLing Mo and his group were indeed much more capable.
Mu Chen and his group were being chased by the Spider Queen, while Ling Mo was the one chasing her. The difference was clear.
Is that so? Then you need to step up your game, Ling Mo said.
Damn it! Mu Chen was furious again. This was clearly mockery!
But when he wanted to find a reason to argue back, he realized he couldnt because Ling Mo wasnt exactly wrong
Ive made my choice, these will do, Ling Mo said as he hoisted his bulging backpack.
Mu Chen and his companions silently watched the few worthless items scattered on the ground
Is this enough for you? Mu Chen asked in return.
Cant help it Ling Mo said with a hint of difficulty.
The implication was that he had to make do, which made Mu Chen feel like he was being mocked again.
Ling Mo was mocking them for their lack of possessions when in reality, they had been thoroughly plundered by him!
In truth, Ling Mos words were somewhat insincere; these people were not short of possessions, they were actually very wealthy!
Normally, if someone was extorted like this, even with many underlying issues, they might immediately turn hostile and a fight to the death could ensue.
Even Ling Mo himself, though not exactly lacking medicines, couldnt help but feel envious of so many special-effect drugs, let alone being plundered by a stranger.
Either they didnt understand the value of the items, or they had seen so much that it didnt matter much to them.
Mu Chen and his peers, backed by Niepan, clearly fell into the latter category.
What a grand display of wealth! If three undercover agents could casually produce so many goods, just how much stuff must Niepan have in their possession?
Ling Mos interest in Niepan continued to grow. It seemed that aside from researching the virus, the organization was well-off in other aspects too!
But their ability to develop so inconspicuously was still mainly due to their research on the virus.
Even Ling Mo himself was quite tempted by it, and other Psychics would likely feel the same.
Actually, Ling Mos attitude towards Niepan was somewhat ambiguous at the moment; he was mainly curious to see how the people from Niepan planned to handle things.
Bro, can you take us there now? Mu Chen pleaded.
Oh Sure, lets go. Ling Mos response was slow once again, causing Mu Chen to curse in his heart.
After taking advantage, Ling Mo didnt show any enthusiasm at all. What kind of person was he!
On the other side of the TV station, a figure fell from the sky, landing on the ground.
The Spider Queen looked down at the several blood holes in her body The wounds had stopped bleeding, and it was only a matter of time before they fully healed.
Humans
The Spider Queens tone was very cold when she uttered this word.
However, this time it was the humans who had aided her. If she had been caught by that particular human who was quite special to her To be honest, she didnt want to fight Ling Mo, at least not now.
The Screamers were used to incapacitate Ling Mo, to take him away unharmed.
Now that Ling Mo had escaped, she didnt plan on fighting to the death with him.
The Spider Queen, having been toyed with by Ling Mo several times, had also become a bit more cunning
The things she told Ling Mo were not everything; reproduction was not her only purpose. In fact, from the moment she captured Ling Mo, the Queen had already prepared for multiple outcomes.
One day youll come looking for me on your own, the Spider Queen muttered to herself, then turned her gaze to the street.
The once bustling street looked barren, but it was crowded with people.
Those faces, some fierce and some bloody, were packed tightly together.
Despite the multitude of figures, there was absolute silence, so quiet that even the sound of the wind rustling the billboards could be clearly heard.
This scene was undoubtedly very eerie
