Chapter 1293: Of Course This Is a One-on-One
“What explosive power!”
In the narrow corridor, the two figures collided almost instantly.
And in the brief fraction of a second before that-
Dozens of psychic tentacles controlled by Ling Mo shot out, but half of them were dodged by Chief of Staff Wang. The remaining half, though they all struck his body, penetrated at most about one centimeter, unable to pierce through him at all.
“Ling Mo, if this is all you’ve got, then you can’t beat me.” Chief of Staff Wang raised his arm to protect the vital parts of his face and suddenly charged right up to Ling Mo.
The body of a mental ability superhuman is very fragile!
“Ling Mo, you can’t block this!” After lowering his arm, a rare look of confidence and anticipation appeared on Chief of Staff Wang’s face. Killing intent burst from his eyes, and almost the instant he reached Ling Mo, he swept out a kick.
“Whoosh!”
This kick brought a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air!
“Damn! Even though I just said it a moment ago, I still can’t help but say… this guy’s explosive power is just too terrifying!”
But this time Ling Mo could see clearly: Chief of Staff Wang was indeed an enhancement ability user, but his mastery of this superpower had reached a level that was simply outrageous!
The moment he kicked, all the muscles in his body were mobilized, especially those in his waist and legs, which were instantly strengthened. Coupled with his own combat skills, the power contained in this kick was not even weaker than that of a Senior Zombie.
“Ling Mo. I know you’re brilliant at psychic power control, but this is close combat-you can’t withstand it.” Chief of Staff Wang thought to himself, “Even if you have help, I’ll kill you before they arrive. Even if I can’t, I’ll at least injure you. That way, when you chase me to the temporary base, your chances of dying will be much higher.”
“Of course, the worst outcome is that I die here… but even so… no!” Chief of Staff Wang’s expression suddenly changed.
Ling Mo, who should have been unable to dodge and could only brace himself to take the hit, suddenly smiled just as he was about to be kicked. Then, his body abruptly retreated. A Tentacle even swept directly toward Chief of Staff Wang.
“How did he do that!” Chief of Staff Wang was instantly shocked. With his attack speed, even if the opponent was also an enhancement ability user, as long as their physical reaction speed wasn’t as fast as his, it would be impossible to dodge completely! Even if Ling Mo used his mental ability as an auxiliary, his physical condition was still what it was!
Most importantly, he hadn’t sensed any energy fluctuation in advance. If he had detected it, he would have had follow-up countermeasures! But now, this happened…
In other words, Ling Mo had done it purely with his physical strength…
How could that be! Chief of Staff Wang quickly used the force from his kick to dodge sideways. But to his surprise, the Tentacle, which should have dissipated after missing its target, suddenly changed direction, switching from a “thrust” to a “sweep”!
“Bang!”
Chief of Staff Wang was immediately slammed into the wall. After landing, he spat out a mouthful of blood and looked in shock at Ling Mo, who was several meters away.
“His control precision has improved again!”
Ling Mo wore a smile: “Wang, your schemes are pretty good, but you think you can suppress me with just close combat?”
Even just physically, Ling Mo was no longer an ordinary human. After long-term ingestion of trace amounts of virus through the Female Zombies, although it hadn’t reached the point of turning Ling Mo into a Zombie, it had brought his body up to the level of a top special forces soldier. Of course, in terms of combat skills, Ling Mo was still lacking. For example, compared to Chief of Staff Wang, who had undergone systematic training for years, Ling Mo’s close combat ability was clearly inferior.
But with a strong enough body as a foundation, when Ling Mo activated the virus seed in his heart, he could make his body explode with speed and reflexes comparable to an enhancement ability superhuman! In this way, he could naturally dodge! And once the virus seed was activated, Ling Mo’s control over psychic energy would instantly rise to an astonishing level. This was evident in how, even in that thousandth of a second just now, he could forcibly change the direction of the Tentacle!
“Chief of Staff Wang, from the very beginning, I’ve never been afraid of you. Do you know why it’s just the two of us fighting now?” Ling Mo smiled faintly as he spoke. ⱤäŊǒʙƐṣ
“You want to kill me with your own hands.” Chief of Staff Wang immediately realized, then straightened up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “You’re confident, but I also have my reasons and conviction to kill you. You have this ability, and I have the ability to strengthen my entire body, bones, internal organs, even my brain. It’s too early to say who will survive.”
“Strengthening bones and the brain? No wonder your defensive capability is so strong, and you can both sense my psychic energy fluctuations and resist psychic attacks to a certain extent.” Although Ling Mo had long known that no ability was inherently weak, the fact that enhancement ability could evolve to this level still exceeded his expectations. Such a superhuman was simply the king of close combat among humans, and could even be called the nemesis of powerful mental ability users.
“But that depends on which mental ability user you encounter. Besides… I’m not a mental ability user!”
At this moment, Chief of Staff Wang charged up again. Ling Mo dodged with the help of the seed’s power while constantly looking for opportunities to attack. At the same time, one invisible shadow after another quietly approached Chief of Staff Wang’s back.
“Bang!”
“Useless, Ling Mo. Attacks like this won’t kill me. Besides defensive capability enhancement, my self-repair ability is also being strengthened. With you attacking like this, at most I’ll just suffer a few superficial wounds.” Chief of Staff Wang took several attacks head-on in a row. Although he was already covered in blood, he still spoke with undiminished fighting spirit.
“Don’t get cocky, you can’t even touch me.” Ling Mo retorted bluntly.
“Then let’s try again!” As soon as Chief of Staff Wang finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. His body swayed, and he kicked out at the empty air ahead. With a muffled “bang” echoing through the corridor, Chief of Staff Wang looked at Ling Mo with shock and anger, eyes wide.
“You ambushed me? Weren’t you going to fight me one-on-one?”
“Yeah, this is a one-on-one.” Ling Mo replied.
All the ones attacking him were his own Zombie Puppets. How is that not a one-on-one?
While blocking, Chief of Staff Wang quickly analyzed in his mind.
“What exactly are these invisible opponents? They can spread the virus, but they can’t possibly be Zombies… Could they really all be special spiritual bodies? Coated with virus?”
The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, but what drove him even crazier was that Ling Mo took the opportunity to launch a frenzied attack on him. Before, he could dodge half of the attacks, but now he was getting hit almost every time. Even more insidious was that Ling Mo’s dozens of attacks were all aimed at the same spot on his body.
“He’s trying to forcibly break through my body! And these… things have basically blocked all my dodging directions. To coordinate so well with Ling Mo, it really could be a spiritual body. If that’s the case, then Ling Mo’s spiritual strength is downright weirdo-level!”
“If this keeps up, I’ll be worn out and die soon!”
Chief of Staff Wang finished thinking and made his decision in just a few seconds. After taking one of Ling Mo’s attacks head-on, he suddenly found an opportunity to dash into a room nearby.
By the time Ling Mo and the Invisible Zombie Puppet rushed over, Chief of Staff Wang had already escaped through the window.
“Heh… run, go ahead and run. Soon, you’ll be back again,” Ling Mo said.
At the same time, Black Silk’s voice sounded in his mind, and Black Silk quickly linked Xia Na and the others’ consciousnesses together. Although it was still a bit strenuous for it to do this, as its body grew, at least it could now do it without any preparation.
However, Black Silk’s body was very strange-even Ling Mo didn’t know what abilities it would develop or when. This time, it had suddenly evolved to this stage right before the battle.
“Ling-Ge, did your plan succeed?” Xia Na’s voice rang out in Ling Mo’s mind, and at the same time was transmitted to Black Silk, then through Black Silk to Li Yalin, and even to Ye Lian, who wasn’t paying any attention. Even though it was transmitted three times, the speed of consciousness was so fast it was almost simultaneous.
“Yeah, if everything goes well, the intelligence about me should have already been sent to Falcon headquarters, right? In that case, it wasn’t in vain that I gave him a chance to escape,” Ling Mo said.
“Hehe, those humans probably think their plan is going smoothly. But since master has already grasped his entire operational strategy, how could he really give him such a chance in this situation? He trusts you humans’ weaknesses too much, thinking you’d really act like a strongman and fight him one-on-one…” Black Silk said.
“Hey! How did you go from praising me to mocking me!”
“Did I, master?” Black Silk said innocently.
“Alright, I think it’s about time. Now, he should be almost at Yu Shiran and Xu Shuhan’s place,” Xia Na said coldly, with a hint of anticipation in her tone.
Meanwhile, Black Silk and Li Yalin inside the building both licked their lips.
Inside the hospital.
“You all heard what I just said, right?” Chief of Staff Wang, running at full speed, put down the Communicator in his hand. On the other end were the senior management of Falcon supporting this operation.
“I gave it my all, but I didn’t even manage to hurt him-instead, I got seriously injured myself.” A trace of blood seeped from the corner of Chief of Staff Wang’s mouth. He had only been holding on by strengthening his internal organs. In fact, the damage Ling Mo had done to him was much worse than it looked! What he didn’t know was that Ling Mo had deliberately held back. Even so, at this moment, he was only running desperately on his last bit of strength!
“I must succeed! Ling Mo would never just watch me go back-he must be thinking of tracking me to find the temporary base! But I’m not afraid of you following me, I’m afraid you won’t come!” A ruthless glint flashed in Chief of Staff Wang’s eyes.
Falcon Main Camp, also known as the Safe Zone, A City.
“You all heard that, right?”
After Chief of Staff Wang’s voice faded, the entire Meeting Room fell into silence.
In the middle of the long table surrounded by people, a lone Communicator sat there.
It was to wait for news from the other end of the Communicator that these Falcon Camp senior bigwigs had gathered here in the middle of the night.
But what they didn’t expect was that instead of news of Ling Mo being successfully killed, they got another message:
Ling Mo is very strong!
The first round of the plan has failed, now executing the final plan!
“If the final plan fails too…” someone in the Meeting Room finally spoke.
“Then we’ll be completely at odds with Miracle Base. Originally, because of Su Qianrou, we still had some cooperation with Miracle Base,” another person sighed.
“Hmph, what’s there to be afraid of? Even if we become enemies, at most it’ll just be more trouble when fighting for resources in the danger zone. But we’re the biggest Camp in X City-are we supposed to be afraid of them? Who knows, maybe one day Miracle Base will be targeted by a zombie horde and be wiped out,” said a man who looked like an Officer in a muffled voice.
Falcon Camp continued the Army management model, and many of the senior management wore military uniforms. However, although this man wore a uniform, he didn’t have the air of a soldier; his eyes were filled with a sinister look.
This was Yao Haidong, who took command of the Falcon Army after Yuwen Xuan left.
“Yao Haidong isn’t entirely wrong. Besides, the plan was personally made by Chief of Staff Wang-we’ve all seen his abilities. Let’s wait and see. Maybe news of Ling Mo’s death will come soon,” said a burly middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table.
“That’s true, he’s only arrogant for now.”
“As soon as he dies, that Zhang Yu and Tom-those two traitors-how could they possibly withstand our pressure?”
“When the time comes, the tide will have turned. Even if they don’t compromise, as long as we give things a little push, someone from Miracle Base will betray and kill them, then come to us for a reward.”
These bigwigs saw things very clearly. After chatting and laughing for a while, they went back to waiting.
They believed Chief of Staff Wang wouldn’t lose, and they had no worries at all. Once tonight’s assassination succeeded, tomorrow, the whole situation in X City would change! In fact, for these people, the biggest difference between before and after the Apocalypse was that now they could act even more unscrupulously.
They didn’t need any auxiliary means-just kill the other side and everything would be theirs.
“Ling Mo, tonight you’re dead,” Yao Haidong thought with a sinister smile, staring at the Communicator.
“I see the wall!”
At this moment, Chief of Staff Wang, sprinting through the hospital, showed a trace of excitement.
But the closer he got to the wall, the more uneasy he felt.
“Why has it been so long and Ling Mo still hasn’t come after me?” Chief of Staff Wang frowned and wondered.
