Chapter 639: Such a Thought Process is Simply Unfathomable!

An urgent voice came from behind his head: “Don’t move, drop what’s in your hands.”

The member tried to roll his eyes back, slowly gripping the steel bar tighter, but a pricking sensation on his neck silently urged him on.

“Let go, quickly.” The voice hastened.

“Clang!”

The steel bar slipped from his grasp and fell at his feet.

“Step back.” The person behind immediately pulled him backward.

“Stop thinking about playing tricks, Zhang Laoer, didn’t you recognize my voice?” the voice continued.

Disappointment in Zhang Laoer’s eyes was swiftly replaced by astonishment, and after a brief pause, he exclaimed, “You are… Captain Mu?!”

“Good of you to remember to call me Captain Mu.” Mu Chen was still close behind Zhang Laoer, not loosening his grip at all, “But you should’ve known you might encounter me, right? Don’t tell me Ai Feng didn’t mention this possibility. Normal survivors wouldn’t bother coming to Dongming City for no good reason. With a bit of analysis, narrowing down the suspects isn’t that hard, right?”

“No, we thought you were all dead…” Sweat formed on Zhang Laoer’s forehead, shining faintly in the dim light.

“Oh, trying to fool me? Damn, so you all really take me for a fool? Let me tell you, that guy wasn’t wrong, if you really cared about whether I was alive or dead, at least you would’ve tried to talk or negotiate first, to confirm the target’s identity and our status, right?” Mu Chen growled in a low voice.

Zhang Laoer, drenched in sweat, could only offer a pale defense: “I was just following orders, I didn’t know anything about what you’re saying…”

Mu Chen freed one hand and started rummaging through Zhang Laoer’s pockets: “Now, I do think Xia Zhi was quite prescient, his approach was really about self-preservation and gaining merit… But, well, he ended up being the first among us to die.”

“What does that mean?” Zhang Laoer didn’t dare to struggle, watching helplessly as Mu Chen searched and tossed various weapons from his person into a corner.

“It’s nothing. Too many variables have come into play, leading to this inevitable outcome. Zhang Laoer, I know if that had been me instead of the plastic one, you wouldn’t have hesitated to strike, so don’t expect any mercy from me now.”

Mu Chen gritted his teeth and pulled out a small knife from behind Zhang Laoer’s waist, demanding coldly, “Talk. What’s the order? How many people has Ai Feng brought, and what’s the plan?”

Zhang Laoer’s face turned ugly as he spoke, “If I tell you, I’ll die a horrible death, Captain Mu…”

“Not talking? Then die now.” Mu Chen applied a bit more pressure in his hand.

Feeling the sharp edge of the knife pressing against his skin, and his carotid artery seeming ready to be cut open at any moment, Zhang Laoer closed his eyes tightly in panic.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk…” he whispered, speaking quickly, “Apart from our group that just entered, every living thing is a target. Alive is best, but if not… kill them all.”

“That’s the order? What about the rest?” Mu Chen pressed on.

“Not many people brought, around ten. As for the plan, all exits are blocked, and I bet more will come. Captain Mu, if you help us catch the others, it counts as a merit! Even though the guy from headquarters is dead, as long as you didn’t kill him…” Zhang Laoer said anxiously.

“I do want to kill…” Mu Chen let out a cold laugh and suddenly kicked the back of Zhang Laoer’s knee.

Zhang Laoer grunted, involuntarily dropping to his knees.

“Captain Mu! Don’t be rash! This is Dongming City, it’s not worth it… Ah!” Zhang Laoer took another hit to the back, his voice suddenly dropping, “Captain Mu, don’t do this, opposing Niepan won’t end well for you, help me, and the credit is all yours! What do you want? Booze, cigarettes, women! As long as you have merit and are useful to Niepan, who would kill you? Don’t let a moment of anger lead you to a dead end!”

“Merit, huh? That does sound tempting.” Mu Chen paused for a moment in his actions.

Zhang Laoer immediately felt a glimmer of hope and continued to persuade, “Exactly! All those troublesome matters, just pin them on someone else, and you’ll have nothing to do with them. Now’s a great opportunity, Captain Mu!”

“It is indeed a good opportunity,” Mu Chen’s voice suddenly got closer to Zhang Laoer’s ear, “But… those kind of people disgust me. How can I turn myself into something as disgusting as them?”

“Captain Mu, don’t be foolish…”

“Let me tell you, there are things that some people can’t do, and then there are those who just won’t do them. I, Mu Chen, am the kind who just can’t do it, no matter what. Are you satisfied now?” As he spoke, Mu Chen grabbed Zhang Laoer’s hair, fully exposing his throat.

“No, don’t kill me… Captain Mu…” Zhang Laoer’s voice began to tremble.

His body also started to shake uncontrollably, the blade resting on his bobbing Adam’s apple, as if it could slice into it at any moment, turning him into a cold corpse.

Mu Chen squatted behind him, clutching his hair and gritting his teeth.

Suddenly, he raised the knife and then swung it down heavily.

“Thump.”

Zhang Laoer fell to the ground with his eyes closed, yet there was no blood on Mu Chen’s knife…

“You better not wake up too soon, or next time…”

Mu Chen stared at Zhang Laoer for a while, helplessly glanced at the knife in the water, then looked around and ran off to one side.

Seconds later, he entered a small storage room.

“It’s me,” Mu Chen immediately said in a low voice upon seeing the flash of cold steel.

The glint quickly disappeared, and a girl’s figure darted out from behind the door, looking behind him, “Come in.”

“Maybe we should just close the door,” Mu Chen casually suggested.

Another female voice came from the darkness: “Wouldn’t closing it draw more attention?”

“It’s like turning this place into a rat trap…” Mu Chen said as he crossed several shelves and entered the interior of the warehouse.

In the corner, Ling Mo was helping Xu Shuhan sit on a stack of boxes.

Xu Shuhan was still panting, her eyes looking eerily red in the darkness.

Upon seeing Mu Chen, she abruptly raised her head, emitting a hair-raising grinding sound from her mouth.

However, Ling Mo swiftly grabbed the back of her collar and dragged her back.

Xu Shuhan twisted in frustration but ultimately gave up.

“Is she really not fully turned into a zombie yet?” Mu Chen’s expression looked shocked.

“If she had fully turned, I wouldn’t be able to hold onto her. Plus, once she gets used to it, she won’t try to bite you anymore, for now…” Ling Mo said.

Mu Chen, taken aback, then said, “That ‘for now’ sounds quite ominous!”

“How did your questioning go?” Ling Mo quickly changed the subject.

“I found an old acquaintance, and he shared some information with me. It doesn’t sound good. That kid and the experimental product are both dead, and Ai Feng will definitely see it through to the end. And, they don’t care about our life or death anymore. Luckily Xia Zhi has been dealt with, otherwise, if he sold your information, that would have been bad. But they are very familiar with me… so…”

Mu Chen sighed.

“What about the acquaintance?” Ling Mo asked thoughtfully, then suddenly inquired.

Mu Chen was startled, then shook his head, “I… I didn’t go through with it…”

“It looks like relying on you to be the mole is out of the question, then…” Ling Mo said with regret.

“I just refused that very offer!” Mu Chen roared, then added, “Even if they deploy Number 0, me acting as a mole would be pointless, I’d be found out immediately.”

“Number 0 is that powerful, huh.” A hint of anticipation flickered in Ling Mo’s eyes.

This kind of mental monitoring, even he couldn’t cover many people at the same time. In fact, he had to focus his attention on one person and observe for a while to detect any abnormal fluctuations.

From this, it seemed that Number 0’s specialty was primarily in monitoring and information relay.

And Ling Mo, his Mental Sphere was feeling hungry right now…

The youngster from Niepan headquarters, although a mental ability user, Ling Mo hadn’t rashly consumed his Mental power to avoid leaving any trace.

Because using the consume ability in that situation would have been impossible to completely hide from Mu Chen.

Even if Mu Chen hadn’t noticed, there was still a mental seed from Number 0 in his brain…

Although Mu Chen was now on the same side as Ling Mo, that seed was like a ticking time bomb, constantly keeping Ling Mo on alert.

It was like a “spy” that could awaken at any moment…

However, seeing Mu Chen return at least proved that he himself was not compromised, and all that was needed afterward was to find a way to remove the mental seed from his brain.

But bringing it up at that moment obviously wasn’t the right move. After thinking, Ling Mo said, “Since that’s the case, we don’t need to keep running. Once we’re outside, they know the terrain better than us, and with Number 0 tracking you… Let’s just stay here and take out this group first!”

“Just the few of us?” Mu Chen’s eyes widened in shock. What kind of thought process was this!

He had just finished saying the other side was well-prepared, and this guy was already thinking about wiping everyone out…

“Yeah, take out one batch, and the pressure on us is lessened by that much,” Ling Mo seriously nodded in agreement.

“Wait a minute…” Mu Chen suddenly realized something, “You’re not planning to… no, you never intended to escape Dongming, did you? Hey, don’t turn your head!”

“Hehe,” Ling Mo chuckled thoughtfully.

“Hey, I don’t want to die here! Are you even listening to me?” Mu Chen ranted frantically on the side.

At that moment, within the mall, figures were slowly moving in various places.

Not far from the entrance, on the main staircase, one person was leading several figures, moving slowly upwards while sticking close to the wall.
