Chapter 1275: Which Part of Your Body Best Represents You?

A moment later, Ling Mo, deep in thought, lifted the guy up from the ground.

Although he was still tied up, the man’s face already showed a look of relief.

The other party hadn’t killed him outright, which meant he wouldn’t die for now…

But Ling Mo fell into silence… He hadn’t expected Chief of Staff Wang to be even more cautious and cunning than he’d guessed…

But most importantly… cold-blooded.

“Sacrificing one person to confirm my existence, this way he minimizes the chance of exposing his own position. And taking this approach is to ensure their next move… to find an opportunity to wipe out Mu Chen and the others in one go…”

“Even if I wanted to play the mantis stalking the cicada, this kind of action would cause me huge losses… And he’s doing this to give me a chance to face them head-on in a direct fight…”

Ling Mo had already quickly sorted out the information the man had confessed… Judging from all signs, Chief of Staff Wang was ready to risk everything.

But after calming down, Ling Mo felt that things might not be so simple. The man hadn’t lied, but there were definitely things even he didn’t know. And judging by Chief of Staff Wang’s habit of always having a backup plan, Ling Mo even thought that maybe the things this man knew were deliberately revealed by Chief of Staff Wang… just in case.

“Moreover… the most crucial point in all his actions is to kill me. So what if I don’t show up? His plan would fail. In this kind of plan, he can only hope for my choice, and that’s definitely not something he can be at ease with. So even if this is part of his plan, there must be other contingencies…”

Actually, by this point, Ling Mo had already asked everything he could, and keeping this man around was of no use. But amid all his doubts, Ling Mo suddenly had a crazy idea.

He suddenly spoke: “You said before that those people came here to look for something, right?”

The man nodded blankly: “Yeah…”

“I want a share of the goods, and the women are mine. I’m also very interested in the things that could make them risk their lives to come all this way.” Ling Mo said, controlling the Zombie Puppet. As he spoke, he suppressed the frenzy inside him while thinking about how to phrase it without arousing suspicion.

After all, he was alone… As a Survivor who had just been about to kill someone, he shouldn’t agree to cooperate so easily. He had to act more cautious… The main reason this man was so convinced of his identity was still because of those preconceived notions and Ling Mo’s few vague hints.

But this kind of impression could be destroyed by the slightest flaw. The man would quickly find more loopholes and start doubting Ling Mo. At that point, Ling Mo’s plan would be dead in the water…

So he decided to start with supplies… People die for wealth. But before the man could answer, he immediately added, “You need to tell me what those things are, and, to put me at ease, you need to provide me with something. But don’t worry. I’m not interested in you guys, and I’m even less interested in the business between your two groups. I won’t have any contact with anyone else in your team. That’s my condition for letting you go back alive. Think about it.”

What Ling Mo said was carefully thought out. Only this way could he show the utmost caution. As for not contacting the others… that was also to increase credibility. As a lone Survivor, this was the only way he could survive and pick up the spoils.

Sure enough, the man hardly showed any surprise… He hadn’t expected this weirdo to just let him go. What shocked him was that this guy was actually a bit greedy… He immediately set his sights on the supplies.

As for the women… he’d just said that casually. Even if he could decide to leave those women behind, this weirdo would probably die at their hands…

The man grumbled silently, then hesitantly said, “Well… I can’t make that decision. And to be honest… I don’t even know what they’re looking for. My task is just what I said before… Maybe my boss knows this information.”

“Hmph…” Ling Mo, controlling the Zombie Puppet, let out a cold laugh and said nothing. This guy clearly didn’t want to spill everything at once… Thinking of this, he simply added a little more, reaching out and grabbing the man’s neck. ȑÃꞐỖ𝔟Ɛŝ

Zombies are strong, and as soon as he exerted a little force, the man’s eyes widened instantly. He couldn’t help but open his mouth, a trace of panic appearing on his face. Damn, he almost forgot this guy was a bloodthirsty weirdo!

“You… what kind of guarantee do you want!” the man shouted, stammering.

Whatever, just agree first. Their main goal was to kill Ling Mo; once Ling Mo was dead, they could deal with this guy later. But this weirdo seemed to be quite cautious too, and he’d definitely come up with some outrageous demands…

As Ling Mo expected, the man had thought all these things through…

“That’s more like it.” Ling Mo let go of his neck and said calmly amid his violent coughing, “You said before… the other side doesn’t know about your business, right?”

“Yes… cough cough… yes…” the man replied.

“Good,” Ling Mo’s main body showed a slight smile, but the Zombie Puppet still spoke in a hoarse, calm voice, “Tell me your information. I need to know your hiding place and your team composition.”

As soon as he said this, the man’s eyes widened.

This is just too…

Even though he was mentally prepared, this request was still way too outrageous!

This information? This was practically the top secret of their operation this time!

If it leaked out, their mission would be doomed…

But killing Ling Mo was something that Chief of Staff Wang… and some of the Falcon senior management were determined to achieve.

Even he knew that only by getting rid of Ling Mo could they take back Miracle Base. Otherwise, even if they killed Yuwen Xuan, the Base wouldn’t change hands.

But this weirdo’s attitude was clearly very firm… If he refused outright, he might be tortured to death the next moment…

“Um… why do you want to know this? Actually, if you’re worried, after you let me take a message back, I can be your hostage… Of course, if you want to switch to another hostage, that’s fine too…” The man was really desperate.

“Cut the crap.” Ling Mo interrupted him directly and let out two dry chuckles. “Since you can abandon your companions without hesitation, it means your lives aren’t worth much. Even if I keep you as a hostage, your boss can abandon you without a second thought. The reason you want me to switch hostages is because you thought of this, right?”

The man didn’t speak, but he sighed inwardly… Damn it. This weirdo’s mind works so fast…

“I’m well aware that I can’t threaten you with myself. But if it’s your enemies, that’s a different story…” Ling Mo chuckled and said, “As long as I have your lifeline in my hands, if you try to go back on your word, I’ll leak this information. Like I said, as long as I get what I want, I don’t care which side of you dies.”

Ling Mo bent down and added in a sinister tone by the man’s ear, “Just like if I hand you over to them now, I’m sure I could get a good price for you. But… I’d still rather cooperate with you… I’m still a bit interested in those women… hehehehe…”

Damn it!

The man’s scalp tingled… this damned weirdo!

Especially that last laugh… it sounded like he already had all kinds of plays planned out!

At this point, all his doubts were gone… this guy was definitely a Survivor taking advantage of the chaos!

“But… your request is too serious, I can’t tell you… you still need to let me deliver the message so I can ask the Boss for instructions,” the man said cautiously.

Ling Mo glanced at this guy, just about to squeeze him again, but then put his hand down. This man wasn’t lying… judging by his behavior, he didn’t even fully know this intelligence himself. Forcing him further wouldn’t get any results.

A moment later, Ling Mo lifted the guy upright in contemplation.

“What’s your name?” Ling Mo asked.

The man froze for a moment, then answered, “I’m Chen Wen…”

“Xiao Chen, right?” Ling Mo interrupted him directly, then let out a meaningful laugh. “Which part of your body do you think best represents you?”

Chen Wen was stunned at first, then his face instantly turned pale… he could already imagine an invisible guy standing in front of him, waving a knife at his ear, his fingers, and so on…

At the same time, he immediately understood Ling Mo’s meaning… this guy wanted something from him!

But this was also to be expected… this weirdo clearly wasn’t going to be careless.

“No need for that, I can give you a token!” Chen Wen shouted quickly.

A few seconds later, Ling Mo took a ring off his hand.

Although he had already searched Chen Wen during the tying up, he really hadn’t noticed this.

“Just this?” Ling Mo asked.

Chen Wen nodded and said, “There’s my initials engraved on the inside of the ring, it can prove my identity!”

After saying that, he suggested, “You took my Communicator, right? If you want to negotiate, you can contact them directly through that…”

“No need.” Ling Mo refused outright. He had already noticed that the Communicator was a disposable item… and he remembered the person who modified it, a girl he personally brought to Falcon Camp…

The personal traces on it were too obvious…

If his guess was right… this Communicator was also prepared by Chief of Staff Wang as a precaution. If Chen Wen couldn’t make it back alive, he could use this Communicator to send a message back. After that, the thing would explode… destroying the evidence.

That way, even if someone found Chen Wen’s corpse, they wouldn’t be able to identify the shape of the Communicator from the blood and fragments, so Chen Wen’s identity wouldn’t be exposed right away.

Just to confuse Mu Chen and the others for a short time, Chief of Staff Wang went to such lengths…

Ling Mo felt more and more that in this final battle, the other side would be extremely well prepared. Maybe everything he was hearing and seeing now was all part of their plan. This was a trap within a trap, and the best way Ling Mo could think of to break it was to walk right in.

It was a crazy idea, but worth a try…

So, it turned out Chen Wen really wasn’t being honest, holding out until now to try to coax Ling Mo into using that Communicator. He knew that to keep him from yelling, Ling Mo would probably go outside alone to use it, and the result would be obvious…

Sure enough, when Ling Mo refused, a trace of disappointment flashed in Chen Wen’s eyes. Ling Mo sneered at his reaction, then continued, “I have a better way…”
