Chapter 482 – People who betray their companions are never dangerous
Editor: Zephyr04 Translator: Jhung
At this moment, inside the underground level of the mall.
Since this level was a food area, it will inevitably be filled with traces of being scavenged.
The repeated scavenges from the survivors have already made this place a mess.
Almost all the shelves had been turned and the floor was covered with rubbish.
Except for the little light cast from the elevator entrance, the depths were completely pitch black.
There were a few fresh blood stains on the ground, leading into the darkness, likely left by the peaked cap man when he was being dragged down.
“I hope you can survive.”
Li Hao glanced at the blood stains, before raising his head and looked towards the darkness in front of him.
Old Tang had been ambushed right under his nose. This was no different from Ling Mo walking up to him and slapping him on the face.
What infuriated him the most wasn’t the loss, but the humiliation that he felt.
“Can’t this guy fight like an honorable person?!”
“In any case, we basically sent each other a declaration of war when we talked on the communication device. Yet this was the result after we arrived?”
“He first made us walk around for two days, and then brought us to this kind of place…”
“This kind of feeling of having a lot of energy, but no place to use it, really makes people
feel like they’re about to implode!”
Li Hao was so angry at this moment that he couldn’t wait to pull Ling Mo out of the darkness immediately.
“AHHH!”
The cries of the peaked cap man came from a distance. Hearing these cries in this silent underground made it extremely terrifying.
“THIS b.a.s.t.a.r.d! YOU’RE ON!”
Li Hao took out his night vision goggles and rushed along the bloodstain trail with the raincoat man in the direction where the screams came from.
After running for a certain distance, he suddenly discovered that the man in gray wasn’t following them and stopped immediately.
“Where the h.e.l.l did he go…?”
After turning around for just a moment and then turning back, Li Hao had made another new discovery.
The raincoat man was gone too!
In less than ten seconds, he seemed to be the only one left here.
Not only that, even the screams from Old Tang had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
SHUA!
Li Hao squeezed the pistol and drew out his tactical knife.
He looked around and felt that things had suddenly fallen out of his control…
How did he inexplicably change from being a captain of a team to the only soldier left?!
Although the raincoat man wasn’t very obedient, he would never decide to run somewhere else when he was looking elsewhere!
In the darkness, Li Hao could only hear his breathing.
The only thing guiding him now were the traces left by the spiritual energy fluctuations that extended ahead of him.
At the end of these traces, besides Old Tang, who had most likely already dead, Ling Mo must also be there.
Li Hao suddenly realized that Ling Mo’s “declaration of war” didn’t mean fighting to the death. Instead, he was going to play with them until they died, little by little.
“Is it possible that… his companions were already hiding here, and Ling Mo came here to regroup with them? But that doesn’t make any sense. This place isn’t far from where Old Tang and his team fought him…. Wait a second, could he have left Old Tang alive just so that he could bring us here?”
Li Hao moved forward cautiously while racking his brains and thinking, “If that’s the case, then they were probably led away by Ling Mo’s accomplices…. f.u.c.k! WE WERE TRICKED AGAIN!”
“He’s just a survivor, why is it so difficult to deal with him? If it wasn’t because he knocked down the plane…”
He slowly moved forward along the spiritual energy fluctuations, thinking that since things had become like this, regretting it wouldn’t help.
Fortunately, they weren’t weak or alone. Facing Ling Mo, who has already consumed a lot of spiritual power, they might still have a chance of winning.
It was too late to retreat now, and they had lost another helicopter. In addition to Yin Jie’s team being wiped out, the ninth team not only failed to do anything in the process of handling this incident, but also suffered heavy losses… If these things were reported, he wouldn’t need to worry about being a captain any more. Perhaps those “old men” will take the opportunity to bite him and cause him to have a tragic ending.
“Although we told ourselves not to underestimate the enemy, it isn’t always possible for everyone to bring a rocket launcher to blast them with it! Sending out the helicopter was already embarra.s.sing. Unexpectedly, this wasn’t enough!”
Li Hao tried hard to calm himself down. If he continues to be impetuous in this situation, it will really be over for him.
Just as Li Hao was advancing alone, the man in gray, who was going up the stairs, had already reached the second floor at this time.
Sunlight came in through the broken windows and all kinds of trash could be seen littered everywhere in the shopping mall that had been blackened by smoke.
An unpleasant smell filled the air, causing the man in gray to cover his nose involuntarily.
He didn’t try concealing himself. Perhaps the figure just now had led him up here deliberately.
In this case, concealment was meaningless.
Although Ling Mo made him a bit fearful, his companion was different…
“Come out!”
The man in gray shook his wrist and waved the steel bar in his hand.
There was a sharp swis.h.i.+ng noise in the air, which sounded very harsh.
Being able to cause this kind of sound with a wave of his hand, the strength of the man in gray was quite evident.
“Stop hiding, come out quickly!”
The man in gray shouted as he walked towards the middle of the shopping mall.
Suddenly, a pile of clothes that were left on the ground moved, and he immediately cast his gaze over it vigilantly.
“Come out!”
Accompanied by an angry shout from him, a person crawled out from behind the pile of clothes.
It was a long-haired little Loli, who seemed to be about eleven or twelve years old. Although her facial features were very childish, it was also very delicate, like a doll’s.
She was wearing a loose-fitting dress. She stood up, holding an oversized stuffed bear, and stared at him curiously with big eyes.
“Uhhh…”
The man in gray was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something.
Is this the Loli that Liu Bao Dong was talking about? He said, “Although she looks cute, this terrifying Loli always likes to twist the heads of zombies directly off with her hands.”
“I can’t verify the truth in the later part of that statement, but the beginning of that sentence is definitely a lie!”
“How is she only just “cute”?! She’s f.u.c.king super cute!”
“Even I’m moved by her and I’m a guy who isn’t interested in Lolis….”
The man in gray stared at the little Loli, a bit dumbfounded for a while.
Originally, his plan was to wait for the opponent to show up. He would then either rush forward and smash the opponent’s head open with his steel bar or remove her limbs first, and then drag her downstairs to threaten Ling Mo with her.
But this little girl stared at him unsuspectingly, her eyes were so pure that there wasn’t any trace of evilness….
“f.u.c.k! How do you expect me to do that to a little girl!?”
Although there were guys in this world who could do it without hesitation even when facing children or even babies, these kinds of guys were very rare after all…
“It’s just a little Loli who doesn’t understand anything. At a time like this, I should try outsmarting her…”
“Ahem…”
The man in gray felt that perhaps with his persuasion, he would be able to capture this gullible looking Loli as his prisoner.
“Little girl, uncle knows that you are also a psychic, but uncle is very powerful. But don’t worry, uncle doesn’t want to hurt you, look…”
As he said this, he stretched out his hand and took out a few chocolates from his bag, and then slowly handed them to her, “This chocolate is for you, okay?”
The little Loli blinked and said nothing.
The man in gray looked around and asked, “Can you tell Uncle where the rest of your companions are? Are they all in this building?”
Originally, he was just asking, but he didn’t expect the little Loli to actually nod her head,
“Yes… But I can’t tell you! Ling Mo said that I’m not supposed to tell you that his plan was to bring you guys here.”
“An opportunity!”
The man in gray suddenly realized that this was an opportunity!
This Loli really wasn’t dangerous at all, she really knew how to sell out her companions!
As he was figuring out his next set of words, he heard the Loli continue to say:
“Humph, how could I possibly tell you that all of them are downstairs with that human sausage? However, I am not the only one here.”
When he heard the first sentence, the man in gray immediately smiled in surprise, but when he heard the second sentence, he was already looking around nervously, “There’s still people here? Where?”
“There’s no human [1] here…”
When the man in gray looked at the Loli again, he found that this ceramic-like porcelain doll had revealed an innocent smile.
Her pupils turned b.l.o.o.d.y red, like the most crystal-clear ruby, “There’s only a zombie and a mutant beast.”
[1] human (人) – can mean both human as a species or people/someone in general
