Chapter 1327: Shes Squirrel!

But looking at the time, there’s still about an hour before the meeting starts! In order not to arouse suspicion, Su Qianrou could only obediently stay in her office. So what was Ling Mo going to do, bringing a whole squad of Zombies?

Thinking it over, Su Qianrou felt a headache coming on… Letting them run around was definitely out of the question, but leaving them outside her door would be too conspicuous. Yao Haidong was targeting her, but he hadn’t gone that far yet.

“How about you take me to tour the various combat facilities at Falcon Camp?” Ling Mo suggested.

“Absolutely not. Wherever I go, Yao Haidong’s spies will be watching. Why do you think I brought you all back to Command Headquarters so early?” Su Qianrou firmly refused, then sighed helplessly. “Or maybe…”

Just then, a timid voice suddenly piped up: “Chief of Staff…”

Ling Mo hadn’t dared to use psychic sensing or anything like that in someone else’s Command Headquarters, so it wasn’t until the owner of the voice walked nearby and spoke up that he suddenly realized someone was there, startling him.

Her presence was just too weak! She wasn’t even walking silently, so why hadn’t he noticed her?

But as soon as he turned and saw her, Ling Mo immediately understood.

This girl was wearing an extremely ill-fitting, baggy white lab coat, with striking dark circles under her eyes behind a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses. When she spoke, her voice was barely audible, as if her mind was wandering: “I just remembered I haven’t had dinner yet… Is the canteen open?”

Su Qianrou was stunned for a moment when she saw the girl appear. But after hearing her words, she could only smile wryly and say, “What canteen? If you want to eat, just press the bell, someone will bring it to you.”

“Oh…” The girl nodded blankly, then suddenly slapped her forehead as if she’d just realized, “I almost forgot…”

Almost? More like completely forgot! Ling Mo asked in a low voice, “Who’s this oddball girl?”

Su Qianrou’s eyes instantly widened: “You actually… you don’t recognize her?”

“Why do you look like I seduced and abandoned her… I really don’t remember this girl…” Ling Mo was equally surprised.

“She’s squirrel!” Su Qianrou said.

“Nonsense! She’s clearly a person!”

Although Ling Mo said this, his eyes were already sizing up this “squirrel.”

And with one look, he was instantly shocked: “Isn’t this your secretary?”

Come to think of it, he was the one who sent this girl to Falcon in the first place…

“But her appearance and temperament have changed a lot!” If the old “squirrel” was overly timid, she had now gone to the other extreme.

“How did a timid girl turn into a bookworm?” Ling Mo asked.

“What’s so good about being timid!” Su Qianrou retorted instinctively, not realizing that as she said this, someone in Ling Mo’s “bowed-head squad” behind him visibly trembled. Talk about getting hit while just standing there… ṞäƝՕ𝖇Еș

“But her change is pretty drastic… Squirrel is both her official codename and the name she gave herself. The idea was probably to learn from the squirrel’s spirit-never stop learning (eating).” Su Qianrou looked at squirrel, who was muttering calculations with her head down, and continued, “After the Laboratory in A City was heavily damaged, Falcon rebuilt a new Laboratory. As more results came in, they needed more people. Squirrel, who originally just liked tinkering, was recruited as a Researcher.”

“Oh, researching what? How to turn the human body into a more advanced biological weapon?” Ling Mo asked. With that, he more or less understood why Su Qianrou couldn’t contact him just because she was being monitored… Because the one responsible for upgrading her Communicator, squirrel, had been poached…

But squirrel’s transformation was a bit too thorough. She even changed her name.

But this also showed her special status… So Falcon actually valued those Researchers quite a bit?

“I’m not too sure, but it definitely has something to do with Zombies.” Su Qianrou couldn’t help but feel a little sad as she said this-she’d already been excluded from these core matters…

Ling Mo nodded, then suddenly said, “In that case… we have somewhere to go!”

“Huh?”

“We’ll hang out with squirrel!”

“?!!”

“Just say we’re her experimental subjects!” Ling Mo was quite pleased with this excuse.

Su Qianrou stared wide-eyed at Ling Mo, thinking, how is this guy getting more and more unreliable? But wait… as crazy as this excuse sounds, it might actually work?

So this guy is still as seemingly relaxed and actually meticulous as ever? Well, it makes sense. Of all the people she knows, he’s the only one who can make such suggestions without batting an eye.

The others, like Chief of Staff Wang, always calculate every problem before taking action.

But for Ling Mo, it seems like he only cares about the result. As for all the means used to achieve that result, they’re all “controllable processes” that can be changed at any time.

Honestly, it’s a miracle someone like him has survived until now!

But the fact that Ling Mo is still alive does prove he’s really impressive…

The only problem is…

“Hey, squirrel. Still remember me?” Ling Mo, who had just forgotten who the other person was, suddenly put on a warm face and greeted her enthusiastically.

Squirrel snapped back to her senses. She stared at Ling Mo for a moment, then showed a look of disbelief, and quickly wiped her glasses…

“Ah! It’s… it’s Ling-Ge! And Ling-Ge’s group!”

“Shh! If you shout that loud, I’ll die!” Ling Mo quickly said.

And has this girl’s reaction speed dropped a lot too? She clearly still recognizes him, but only now notices this big group of people blocking her way! Is this a side effect of increased intelligence?

But the next moment, this girl, who had already been gloriously promoted to bookworm, said excitedly, “You look even more handsome than before.”

“Heh heh… Wait. Are you saying I wasn’t handsome before?”

“Wow… you have even more wives now.” The girl looked past him and continued smiling.

Ling Mo was instantly shocked: “Don’t say things like that!”

There are two minors, a Host, and even a bat in there!

The rest are indeed his wives…

“Eh, Ling-Ge, what are you here for? Oh… are you trying to make the Chief of Staff your wife too? Speaking of which, after coming back from the Air Force Corps last time, the Chief of Staff really did grit her teeth and mutter your name for days. She even printed out your photo and hung it on the wall, threw a bunch of darts at it. Now that I think about it, does each dart represent a flying kiss? So when she stares at your photo all day, is she secretly sending you love signals?” Before Su Qianrou could react, squirrel had already chattered on happily.

“Have you ever heard of flying kisses that can poke your eyes out…” Ling Mo chuckled and turned to look at the stiff-faced Su Qianrou, “But I really didn’t expect you to be so hung up on me, Qianrou…”

“You stole my first kiss, how could I not be hung up on you!” Su Qianrou said with inexplicable grief and indignation. Isn’t this only natural! What do you mean you didn’t expect it!

If her great cause didn’t depend on him right now, she’d freeze him to death with a blast of cold air!

As for her feelings for Ling Mo… Su Qianrou was honestly a bit conflicted.

On one hand… well, he did kiss her, so it’s only natural to feel a bit weird seeing him.

On the other hand, she protected Ling Mo, and even when Miracle Base split later, she heard a lot of malicious rumors because of it, all vividly describing her and Ling Mo’s passionate romance. She was furious when she heard them, but now that she’s seeing him in person, she can’t help but feel a bit strange.

But Ling Mo’s behavior of bringing a bunch of wives along, and his various unreliable attitudes, really make her…

“I’d still rather freeze him to death!” Su Qianrou thought through gritted teeth.

“Qianrou? So you really are getting married!” Squirrel said happily at this moment.

“…”

It seems the bookworm’s brain… has developed some other side effects too?

“Let’s not talk about marriage for now…”

“And don’t bring it up again later!”

The pleasantries were over… Ling Mo ignored Su Qianrou’s protest, thought for a moment, then asked, “Can you take us to see your work?”

Squirrel didn’t even hesitate for a second and nodded with a grin, “Sure!”

“See, that was easy.” Ling Mo turned to Su Qianrou.

The latter looked at his relaxed smile and wished she could punch him… Easy, my ass! You’re just taking advantage of the bookworm!

But Su Qianrou was actually quite interested in the experiments squirrel was doing. She just never asked, so as not to make things difficult for her.

Now that she saw Ling Mo and his group following squirrel to the Laboratory, Su Qianrou could only give a few instructions, then obediently return to her office, playing the role of a perfectly stable figure.

“…That building up ahead is the one.” Squirrel led Ling Mo and the others out of the Command Headquarters, heading toward a nearby building.

“By the way, why did you go to the Command Headquarters just now? Weren’t you looking for Qianrou for something?” Ling Mo suddenly asked curiously.

Sure enough, at these words, Squirrel’s expression changed, then she shook her head: “Forget it. I already forgot what it was about. Oh right, what did you say you wanted me to pretend you guys were?”

“…”

Fortunately, under Ling Mo’s repeated coaching, when they reached the checkpoint at the building entrance, Squirrel didn’t slip up.

Facing the guard who approached with a hint of suspicion, Squirrel, looking excited and impatient, said, “They’re volunteers here to cooperate with me as human lab rats for experiments!”

“!!” The guard was instantly shocked. He looked at Ling Mo and the others, then at Squirrel, who was excited from “doing something bad”…

Oh my god, everyone says this Laboratory is creepy, and it’s true! Even a girl like her has turned into a mad scientist!

“So… so that’s it, you all can go in.” At this, the guard felt a bit of sympathy for Ling Mo and the others. Whatever kind of experiment they were about to cooperate with… but he’d personally heard all sorts of strange, miserable screams coming from inside in the dead of night!

“But according to regulations, you still have to…”

The guard braced himself, but before he could finish, Squirrel waved them on: “Alright, hurry up and come in, you don’t have much time left!”

“…” The guard was shocked again, sinking into even deeper sympathy. As for registering them, he completely forgot for the moment.

By the time he came to his senses, Squirrel and the others had already disappeared inside the building, and after hesitating for a while, he still didn’t have the courage to go in and witness a human experiment himself.

“I’ll just wait until the corpses and their clothes are sent out to register them… After all those different test subjects, it’s finally humans’ turn? The world is getting scarier and scarier…” The guard touched the submachine gun in his hand, finally finding a bit of comfort, “Guarding this hellhole isn’t so bad, at least I don’t have to go to the battlefield. Seriously, today is full of trouble-Survivors from the Central Region Camp, and a zombie rampage…”

The fierce gunfire from the Protective Wall, especially the chilling howls of the Senior Zombies, could be clearly heard even from here…

But what the hell is going on?

…At this moment, the culprit was swaggering right behind Squirrel, following her down the stairs to the basement.

“Your Laboratory is really weird, being so close to the Command Headquarters?” Ling Mo truly felt like he was walking into an unguarded place… No help for it, there was no one in the building, and it was deathly quiet. Even though he knew the main event was probably downstairs, Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel, “No one’s going to hear anyway.”

But just in case, the zombies behind him had all activated their specialties-hearing, smell, and sight on full alert…

Squirrel, walking ahead, noticed nothing and nodded at his words: “Yeah, and there are a lot of superhumans living upstairs.”

“Damn…” Ling Mo wiped away some nonexistent cold sweat.

“Director said our experimental camp is very important, so it’s under strict surveillance… and protection.” Squirrel blurted out, selling out the Director again.

“Oh…” Ling Mo only grew more interested… Back then, he had destroyed Falcon’s Laboratory; he wondered if, after their comeback, they’d developed any new results?

“Speaking of which, Director went out for a bit, said he’d trick… bring that little guy from the Central Region Camp over for a checkup first.” Squirrel was relentless in selling Intelligence.

Ling Mo was stunned, then thought to himself… Am I really so fated with this Central Region Camp?

“So when will they be back?”

“No idea, tricking people takes time, you know.” Squirrel said, leading Ling Mo and the others into a hall, “What do you want to see?”

But when Ling Mo saw the hall’s environment, he couldn’t help but curse: “Holy shit!!!”
