Chapter 481 – Going Down or Up?
Editor: Zephyr04 Translator: Jhung
“We have to hurry up! We can’t let this insidious b.a.s.t.a.r.d slip away!” Li Hao excitedly shouted. He patted the shoulder of the peaked cap man and asked, “You can still hold on, right?”
“No… no problem…” Old Tang tilted his mouth and replied vaguely.
“Good! We can still catch up to him if we go now! Let’s go!”
Li Hao rushed out of the alley first.
Suddenly realizing that he had been played with for the past two days and watching the helicopter being knocked down in front of him, the anger in Li Hao’s heart was rising.
Now that there was a good chance to catch Ling Mo, Li Hao couldn’t wait to catch him immediately. He wanted to vent all his anger on this b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
He glanced back at the Old Tang, and his anger only grew more intense.
This peaked cap man was severely beaten by Ling Mo with his materialized spiritual power and a lot of spiritual fluctuations belonging to Ling Mo were also left on his body.
So at the beginning, Li Hao had almost shot him.
“I need to stay calm…”
He took two deep breaths and gripped the pistol tightly.
“According to Old Tang, Ling Mo had appeared there by himself.”
“And if Ling Mo let him go, then he could be sure that his companions weren’t nearby.”
“But that didn’t mean they wouldn’t gather later. Ling Mo should also know that the sound of the helicopter’s explosion would draw them over. His companions must also be coming as well.”
“And the strength of those girls wasn’t weak at all…”
“But the most dangerous was still Ling Mo himself. Even if he consumed a lot of his spiritual power, he mustn’t be taken lightly.”
“As long as we can kill him, those girls won’t be a problem! Besides, Yin Jie and the others have already killed one…”
Li Hao a.n.a.lyzed all the information he had obtained so far in his mind and made battle strategies at the same time.
Right now, the man wearing the peaked cap was having a hard time trying to keep up.
The man in the raincoat surpa.s.sed him unhurriedly, and when he pa.s.sed him, the peaked cap man heard a very low and erratic voice, “You actually survived… It doesn’t fit the behavior of that man.”
The peaked cap man paused for a moment, then turned his heavily injured head towards the man in the raincoat. There was a trace of confusion in his narrowed eyes, “What?”
“His personality is similar to mine. I would kill any enemy that tries to harm me. The moment you tried attacking me, I’ll hide myself in the dark, and wait for opportunities to get back at you little by little. Not to mention, one of his female companions was killed. If it were me, I would have probably killed everyone one by one.”
After the man in the raincoat finished speaking, he even let out a chuckle, as if he was trying to imagine the process of “killing”.
“Don’t you think so?” He asked after.
“You’re asking me?” The peaked cap man stared at him without answering.
But three words came to his mind: “SAME MY a.s.s!”
“And what the f.u.c.k is up with this guy… He’s actually thinking about the problem from the perspective of the enemy, and also imagining himself killing his own side…”
“He seems so excited about it too!”
“But on the other hand…” The man in the raincoat continued, “Now that I know the prey is waiting for an opportunity to bite us, I’ll do everything possible to make the prey desperate and wish that he died… hehehe, when he dies with unwillingness and resentment, the expression on his face would be interesting.”
“What’s the point of telling me all this… I don’t think we’re that close with each other!”
“Weren’t you acting like a stranger just now? Keep it up, why the h.e.l.l are you suddenly…”
The peaked cap man continued to be silent.
“Is that person really that strong?”
“So that’s the reason!”
“Sure enough, all the things you just said were all rubbish. Other than letting me know about your sick fetishes, it was complete rubbis.h.!.+”
The peaked cap man thought for a while, pointed to his face, and said, “What… what do you think?”
“The stronger the prey, the more worth it is to hunt…”
The man in the raincoat chuckled again. When Old Tang heard that genderless voice, his scalp immediately tingled. He took a deep look at the man in the raincoat, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched.
Soon, they arrived at the place where the helicopter crashed.
The scene looked messy, and some zombies were already blocking the area.
More than a dozen zombies surrounded a small area, chewing and tearing sounds continuously rang as blood flowed from under their feet.
It was quite clear that the man who threw the Meteor Punch had been torn apart.
Li Hao stuck close to the foot of a wall, stretched out his head, and took a look before saying, “Sure enough, he has already left here. However, he is the only one in their group that has spiritual-type powers, so the traces here must be his.”
As he said this, he suddenly closed his eyes and sensed the area carefully.
“Found it, it’s over there. I’m guessing he hasn’t run too far yet.”
Li Hao said, clinging to the foot of the wall, leading them around behind a building, and then turned into a small street.
Although it was only separated by a building, this street seemed very deserted.
The zombies were all lured away by the sound of the explosion and the smell of blood. There was nothing other than trash in this street.
Most of the shops on this street had been destroyed and looked no different from ruins at first glance.
But Li Hao didn’t dare be careless. He gripped his pistol and walked slowly forward.
At the same time, the man in gray also pulled out an arm-thick steel bar from behind his waist.
The steel bar was wrapped in black cloth on one end, and it seemed very heavy in his hand. The whole bar was very smooth, not like a typical steel bar.
“He should be on this street…”
Li Hao tried hard to sense, but the traces here seemed to have scattered everywhere.
In this type of situation, it was obvious that searching more would do no good. However, Li Hao revealed a sneer, “Trying to confuse me? Do you honestly think I’ll be fooled a second time?”
He suddenly turned his gaze to a shopping mall not far away and waved his hand, “Over there!”
The mall had burnt traces, and the gate and outer walls were all burned pitch black.
It was complete darkness behind the broken gla.s.s windows, and it seemed as if something was hiding inside…
After entering the gate, Li Hao and his team slowed their pace down.
Everyone took out their weapons and had gotten more vigilant.
As soon as they entered the mall, they could see two elevators that were no longer working leading to the underground, and on the other were two elevators leading upstairs.
There were spiritual fluctuations going up and down, which made it difficult for Li Hao to make a decision.
However, going underground was definitely not a wise choice.
Even if there were people underground, they could use other methods to attack them. There was no need for them to go underground.
However, when Li Hao stretched out his hand and was about to take out a grenade, the peaked cap man that had been standing behind suddenly let out cry.
“AHHHHHHH!”
It was as if an invisible chain had hooked onto him and he was pulled down to the underground level.
“BANG!”
After the peaked cap man fell to the underground floor, he tried to dig with both hands on the ground, but he was still directly dragged into the darkness by the invisible force.
“s.h.i.+T!”
Li Hao immediately ran to the railing and looked down.
But there was no one below, nor any trace of the peaked cap man.
“AHH!”
In the deep depths, there was another vague scream.
“That was definitely Ling Mo. There was a very strong spiritual fluctuation just momentarily! We were just a step too late!”
Li Hao immediately flipped over the railing and jumped down, followed by the man in the raincoat.
Just when the man in grey wanted to go down as well, he suddenly saw an afterimage that went upstairs.
He immediately moved to the side and squeezed the steel bar in his hand. He slowly walked to the other and looked up the elevator.
Sure enough, a piece of clothing appeared in his vision, but as soon as he saw it, it had disappeared upstairs.
“Captain!”
He lowered his voice and shouted, but there was no response. After looking down, he realized that Li Hao and the raincoat man had been led into the darkness by the intermittent screams.
“If Ling Mo is down there, then that must be his accomplice… But why are they already here?”
It was definitely not a good decision to split up at this time. But it would be even more dangerous for them if he followed them to the underground floor and they had gotten surrounded.
What’s more, even if he goes down now, he may not be able to regroup Li Hao and the others immediately.
The situation below is unknown. He had a higher chance of success going upstairs.
“Killing his companions will also affect Ling Mo. It’s best if I can capture one alive to use as a hostage!”
After a while, the man in gray made up his mind. He gripped the steel bar in his hand and cautiously walked upstairs.
