Chapter 484 – Being a Spy isn’t a Popular Profession
Editor: Zephyr04 Translator: Jhung
Whoosh—
Li Hao immediately turned around and looked towards Raincoat Man’s [1] direction.
Within the darkness, he faintly heard a scream…
“What happened to Raincoat Man? What the h.e.l.l is going on?”
Although he always tries to look cool cosplaying in that raincoat and isn’t very obedient most of the time…
But he is indeed capable!
Those two kitchen cleavers of his have cut off countless zombie heads, and with his gloomy appearance, he was also a very distinctive character in the ninth team.
But it hasn’t even been two minutes, so why do I seem to be hearing him scream…
“Could it be that he didn’t even get a chance to show his strength? Did his powerful image not give any psychological pressure to his opponent?”
“Just… what… happened over there?!”
“Gulp…”
Li Hao swallowed his saliva, tightened his grip on the pistol, and stepped towards that direction little by little.
However, he had only taken a few steps when a soft clang sounded not far behind him.
“WHO’S THERE!?”
Li Hao immediately turned around and looked at the place full of containers warily.
Behind the smashed and deformed containers, there seemed to be a vague figure…
Through the night vision goggles, everything he could see was covered with a layer of green, and at this moment, this setting made it feel extremely eerie.
Grey Man was upstairs, Raincoat Man had disappeared into the darkness, and the Peaked Cap had been dragged into the depths of the underground level a long time ago.
His companions had disappeared one by one, and in a blink of an eye, he was the only one left in this underground level.
And to make matters worse, he still hasn’t even seen the person behind the scenes yet!
This feeling was as if they were on a dark stage while Ling Mo wore an evil grin as he directed them behind a camera to perform according to his script.
And all the endings were destined to lead to death.
But even if he wanted to resist, it wasn’t like he could just blow up the stage with a punch and pull Ling Mo out from behind the scenes…
“Will the figure appearing now be Ling Mo? Is… he finally unable to hold it anymore?”
“Who is it?”
Li Hao moved slowly, approaching the opponent little by little.
There were spots of light everywhere here left by spiritual fluctuations, but he couldn’t tell who they belonged to in such a short time.
In a blink of an eye, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Through his night vision goggles, the green figure seemed to be having a hard time lying on the container. It reached out with its hand and shook it towards him.
“Blood?”
The hand was covered in blood and was still trying to raise itself high in the air.
Suddenly, he saw a blood-stained bandage.
“Old Tang?!”
Li Hao suddenly felt rejuvenated, but he still walked around from the side very vigilantly and suddenly appeared in front of him, aiming his muzzle at the exposed figure.
“Omg! His face looks like a pig’s head [2] … But… this face indeed belongs to Old Tang!”
His peaked cap had long disappeared, revealing his bald head.
It most likely got lost in the process of being dragged.
“Old Tang!”
Li Hao quickly looked around and then crouched down in front of Old Tang. He lowered his voice and asked, “Are you okay?”
There were many injuries on Old Tang, and it seemed like he was about to die soon.
Seeing him struggling to open a gap in his swollen eyes to look at him, Li Hao quickly asked, “Where is Ling Mo?”
It’s almost impossible for Old Tang to survive from this. Taking advantage of the fact that he seemed to be sober still, Li Hao quickly asked about the situation.
“Ge…Ge…”
Although he seemed like he was about to die, Old Tang grabbed onto Li Hao’s wrist with great strength, and the nails on his hand almost started to dig into his flesh.
“Tell me quickly, where is that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Ling Mo?”
“Ge…Ge..”
Old Tang fell into Li Hao’s arms. It seemed like he could no longer say the words out loud, so he tried his best to get close to Li Hao’s ears.
Li Hao took the initiative and leaned in quickly, “Tell me…”
“He… Ling Mo…”
Suddenly, Old Tang’s voice became smooth, “Isn’t he right in front of you?”
As soon as Old Tang finished speaking, Li Hao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ear.
At the same time, Old Tang’s hand suddenly became like an iron claw, and his nails dug deeply into his flesh.
As for his other hand, it stretched directly to Li Hao’s belly. He was aiming to tear him open on the spot.
“AHH!”
Li Hao let out a scream. His pistol had reached Old Tang’s body at a critical moment, and he fired several shots.
The impact of the bullets slightly deviated Old Tang’s movements. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Hao scrambled to escape from Old Tang’s side and then aimed the pistol at his head.
He raised his other hand to touch his face and grimaced with pain. He discovered that most of his ear had been torn off and half of his body was already drenched with blood.
Five deep blood holes appeared on his wrist, and the blood on Old Tang’s palm was also mixed in.
“You…”
Li Hao was sweating from the pain. He gritted his teeth and persisted, staring at Old Tang fiercely.
How could Old Tang still have such strength when he’s injured in so many places!
If it wasn’t for his quick reaction and decisiveness, he would have been killed right then!
“What are you…”
Although Old Tang couldn’t get up anymore, he was still smiling and even stretched a bit. Seeing this, Li Hao was so angry that he trembled.
Old Tang’s body was filled with blood holes, his back was a b.l.o.o.d.y mess, and his internal organs were most likely destroyed.
But even though he was fatally and seriously injured, there was no fear on that pig head’s face.
In other words… his facial expression was still the same!
“c.r.a.p, I still failed. Sure enough, a.s.sa.s.sinating someone like a spy isn’t easy. Non-professionals can’t easily imitate this….”
Old Tang touched his bald head and said.
This tone, this way of speaking…
No matter how inconceivable Li Hao felt, he still had to admit it now.
The person in front of him was not Old Tang at all!
But…
Li Hao felt that his head had become a pile of mush. He faintly felt as if he had grasped a key point but wasn’t able to understand what it was!
“But, my acting skills were still good, right? That definitely deserved an Oscar or something, hahaha…”
Old Tang spat out some blood and stared at Li Hao grinningly, “To be honest, after observing you guys up close, I’ve made a new discovery.”
“Whether it’s the Air Force Regiment or any other force, they’re just a bunch of people coming together. At first glance, they seem to be very powerful, but if you look at them separately, they’re just survivors. To put it bluntly, they’re just bullying people using numbers. But the moment they decide to fight one on one, this weakness is immediately exposed.”
“Don’t you dare compare us with those lawless organizations! We aren’t the same! You… You’re…”
Li Hao’s finger could pull the trigger at any time, but at this moment, shooting Old Tang would be meaningless.
This guy made it pretty clear that he wasn’t afraid to die!
“Don’t start stuttering now.” ‘Old Tang’ said, “Fighting against you guys this time was quite rewarding for me. I was able to try new methods of fighting, and I have a deeper understanding of my strength. Incidentally, I also got a bit of exercise…”
“How did you do it?! Did you hypnotize Old Tang? Or are you persuading him to do things with your spiritual power?
Li Hao interrupted ‘Old Tang’ abruptly and shouted.
“You sure are impatient. However….”
Old Tang chuckled and said, “Do you think I’ll tell you?”
Having said that, he tossed over something black.
When he saw what it was, Li Hao became stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached down and touched his waist.
“You took my walkie-talkie…”
Seeing the walkie-talkie crushed into a lump of metal waste, Li Hao almost lost his mind as blood rushed to the top of his head.
“I can’t believe you guys used the same trick twice. Don’t you feel ashamed of yourselves?”
“I got outplayed again!”
“No matter how much of his information we collect, we’ll still be played around by him!”
Old Tang… No, Ling Mo’s ridicule wasn’t arrogant at all since he never used the same method twice!
It was precisely because of this that they were toyed around by this guy again and again!
“Heh-heh… Amazing… But if you were able to replace Old Tang and control him, why didn’t you do it earlier?”
Li Hao asked.
[1] – As most of you may have noticed by now, the author is extremely lazy with the names. Instead of making it difficult to read by writing out the whole description, I’m going to simplify it by just making it into a name. Example: ‘man in raincoat’ = Raincoat Man
[2] – Basically means to be beaten to a pulp.
