My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1071: The True Mastermind
Chapter 1071: The True Mastermind
“Why aren’t they coming yet?” Mu Chen asked nervously, staring at the spiders. He tightened his grip on the knife handle, thinking that instead of being so scared, he might as well be straightforward… No matter how these spiders attack, the result of the battle will be the same.
Black Silk stood still and said, “They’re waiting for the flames to completely die out. Once there’s no large area of light, even if you have flashlights or other lighting tools, you’ll still be at an absolute disadvantage… It seems the other side is genuinely cautious; they don’t want to sacrifice too many spiders on you. After all, about half of their team members haven’t shown themselves yet. But looking at it from another angle, we’ve managed to buy some time. So, you should take this opportunity to recover your strength. I don’t know about that madman, but aren’t you and that Ye… the flat-headed thug both Enhancement ability users? Leave the rest to the master… Ling Mo.”
“Clearly about to say my name, why change it…”
Ye Kai muttered, his face already turning serious, his hand constantly rubbing his flat head with sweat. Not only him, but even Yuwen Xuan had put away his usual manic smile, speaking less than usual. But if you got close to him, you could hear him muttering something, as if talking to himself or speaking to someone else. Though only a minute or two had passed, for those present, it felt like they had reached their limits multiple times. In ordinary battles, they might last half a day, but in this high-intensity continuous combat, they could fall at any moment. The tension of nerves, the maximum exertion of strength and speed… Thanks to these, they hadn’t let a single living spider inside. If it were ordinary people, they might not even have corpses left by now. Even with better weapons, if their body reaction speed couldn’t keep up, it would be useless…
And at this moment, everyone was beginning to feel the same powerlessness as ordinary people… No wonder Black Silk said that.
Stalling for time?
But in this kind of standoff, what kind of turnaround could occur…
Although Black Silk said to leave it to Ling Mo… facing those unseen masterminds, everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but feel uneasy…
How long can this fire last?
…
Clink!
With a light sound, the newly lit lighter went out instantly.
A man who was speaking turned his head suspiciously, looking towards the car, interrupting the others, “Wait, did any of you just hear something?”
“Sound? No…”
“What sound? Besides that factory, only our people are left in Dawn Town.”
The speaking man stood up, glanced around, and asked, “No, where’s Li Chengguang? Did anyone see him?”
“Didn’t notice.”
“Did he go to the restroom?”
“Don’t worry, he’ll be back soon. The order was given, right? We’re supposed to wait.”
“Yeah. Let’s rest, or we’ll really be exhausted.”
These people, drained of blood, clearly showed signs of fatigue, but after sitting for a while, their faces regained some color.
However, among them, someone frowned and said, “What’s going on, running around at this time! I bet he’s just trying to slack off. He Zhen, I’ll go with you to find him.”
This was the man who spoke most aggressively before, and as soon as he spoke, the expressions on the others’ faces turned into awkward smiles.
The man called He Zhen nodded and said, “Let’s go, Li-Ge. Although those people are trapped in the factory, it’s better to be cautious. At times like this, it’s best to be careful about everything.”
“Let’s go.” Li-Ge didn’t even look at him, replied stiffly, and headed towards the direction of the sound.
He Zhen hurriedly followed behind. As soon as they walked a short distance, a man sitting on the sidewalk railing glared in the direction they left, muttering, “Damn it, implying us, huh? Just because he’s a superhuman… Same as us, he’s not doing any better…”
He had just said a couple of sentences when someone whispered, “Stop it! You can’t afford to provoke him…”
“Really, using this as an excuse! I don’t believe it, can those people really walk out of the spider pile? If someone had hidden in Dawn Town beforehand, the spiders would have discovered them when they moved through the city…” This person muttered a few more words, and seeing no one responding, he lost interest and shut his mouth.
However, at that moment, He Zhen’s shout came from over there.
“What is this!”
Everyone turned their heads just in time to see this scene-
He Zhen had just bent down to pick up something from the ground. As he looked up, he heard Li-Ge suddenly shout “Stop,” and then ran towards the back of the car.
“What happened?”
These people stood up, looking a bit bewildered.
Among them, two people snapped back to reality, running towards that side while asking about the situation.
He Zhen, eager to catch up with Li-Ge, didn’t have time to explain much, only replied, “There’s blood here! The lighter fell here too!”
“Blood?”
When these two ran to the front of the car and slightly changed their angle to look over, they showed expressions of shock.
There really was blood…
On the car window… even on the front windshield, blood was splattered. There were some scattered bloodstains on the ground, but Li Chengguang was nowhere to be seen…
At this moment, Li-Ge had already chased into an alley.
His speed was much faster than He Zhen, and his senses were more acute. He Zhen only heard his shout, not knowing what he saw… Despite his doubts, Li-Ge immediately chased after him without waiting for the others. If he stopped, the other party would have already disappeared…
“Stop!”
Li-Ge shouted angrily again.
He stopped at a fork in the alley, anxiously glanced left and right.
Suddenly, he saw some red spots on the ground… Although not very clear in the night, they were still recognizable at a glance.
Following the bloodstains, he turned his head towards one of the alleys, just in time to see a figure hiding behind the wall, watching him.
As soon as he turned his head, the figure immediately ducked back.
“Don’t move!”
Li-Ge shouted fiercely, then gritted his teeth and chased after…
