YM778.TV Chapter 512 - Upgraded Version
After being interrupted by Tom and Yu Wen Xuan, Lucy fell behind in the conversation.
She spent a few moments calming down before walking up slowly just as they finished
talking. She stood in front of Ling Mo sheepishly, “That...”
“Uh...”
Ling Mo thought for a moment, then opened his arms, “Come on.”
“...” Lucy glared at him and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Weren’t you running at the front just now? You obviously wanted to hug me too... OW!
What the hell... Are you a fucking cat? You get mad so easily!” Ling Mo said as he
moved back two steps with a grin on his face.
Lucy’s cheeks were burning as the onlookers tried hard not to smile.
It would have been fine if it was just a joke, but the problem was... Ling Mo had hit
bullseye.
Lucy didn’t understand what was happening to her. She was more worried about this
asshole despite her not having solved her mutation problem.
When she learned that Zhen Zhi Yuan brought people to attack him, she felt both angry
and anxious.
When her companions were discussing his situation, she was also listening.
She wanted to refute their words and tell them Ling Mo would never lose, but the
anxiety and worry inside her heart kept building up.
And at this time, after finally seeing Ling Mo in front of her, a big rock inside Lucy’s heart
was finally lifted, and her emotions couldn’t help but overflow...
“We, the FIRE group... you...” Lucy glanced around coldly, then looked at Ling Mo
again with a lost expression.
“I know.” Ling Mo nodded.
“Then...” Lucy stopped talking.
“It’s fine, I understand. Don’t take it to heart.” Ling Mo continued.
The two spoke in riddles that only the two could understand, and Lucy’s expression
seemed to lighten up a lot after.
Now that Ling Mo understood, the other worry inside her heart disappeared.
At this time, another person came out from the crowd and said, “You must be Ling Mo,
right?”
Ling Mo turned his gaze towards the person. The man in front of him was dressed in
casual clothes and looked quite ordinary. Like Ling Mo, he also belonged to the type of
people that didn’t stand out.
But if you were to look very closely, you would find that this person’s eyes were very
indifferent.
“Hi, I’m Jian Qi, from FIRE.” The man smirked and reached out his hand towards Ling
Mo.
Ling Mo also smiled and shook hands with this person, “Ling Mo.”
However, right when they held each other’s palms, Ling Mo’s back suddenly turned
numb, and he subconsciously let go of his hand.
Jian Qi revealed an embarrassed smile and put his hand back down.
Looking at his expression, it seems that he didn’t think Ling Mo liked him very much.
The others, seeing this scene, also felt that Ling Mo was still upset deep down.
After all, the people that came to attack him belonged to the FIRE group. Although he
didn’t say anything about it, it doesn’t mean he wasn’t thinking about it.
Truthfully, Ling Mo didn’t really care.
In any case, to him, the other party at least tried to rescue him.
Regardless of whether it was because they were forced to by the Falcons, at least from
the results, they didn’t harm Ling Mo.
His action just now had nothing to do with this...
“Just now...”
Ling Mo glanced at Jian Qi with a complicated look. His expression seemed normal, and
Ling Mo couldn’t find any problems with him, but that feeling just now...
“We’ll enter the Air Force Regiment with Jian Qi.”
Wen Xuan said as he came over. He then pulled Ling Mo aside and asked excitedly,
“Brother-in-Law, is everything ready on your side?”
“Yep, I was just waiting for you guys.” Ling Mo suppressed his strange thoughts and
nodded.
“Hehehe...”
“Can you act normal!”
...
Like Ling Mo said, even though Wen Xuan was known as Crazy Xuan, he was still
reliable at times...
Before meeting Ling Mo, he had already sent some Falcon members to escort the Air
Force member with the F group, and they would wait for orders near the Airport.
On the one hand, this would naturally prevent accidents. On the other, it would also help
guard against the F group.
Who knows if the F group has some other ideas? It was better to be safe than sorry.
Most importantly, Wen Xuan knew very well that this brother-in-law of his was hiding
secrets.
Whether it’s for Ya Lin or his brother-in-law, he would try his best to keep Ling Mo’s
secret.
And because Ling Mo knew this fact, he boldly invited him over.
Only this unruly Wen Xuan would bring a team of people to cause the Air Force
Regiment problems for him.
If it was anyone else, without the approval of the Falcon Camp, who would dare do such
a thing?
...
When Wen Xuan took the remaining Falcon members to the Air Force regiment, Lucy
stayed behind.
“You tell me, does this count as me sending you back to the F group?” Ling Mo asked.
Lucy rolled her eyes and then nodded, “I suppose.”
As a result, Ling Mo immediately opened his mouth and asked, “Then what about my
reward?”
“...Don’t you have anything else to ask me!?”
When Ling Mo took out a small bottle, Lucy suddenly revealed a hint of surprise, “This
is... Did you get this from Zhen Zhi Yuan?”
“Zhen Zhiyuan... should be the name of one of the attackers...”
Ling Mo carefully observed Lucy’s expression and nodded, “Yes, the three of them each
had a bottle. But this doesn’t look like any ordinary drug... One of them wanted to use
this as a suicidal counter-attack after failing their sneak attack.”
Ling Mo obviously wouldn’t tell her that he already saw this drug before or that he had
half a bottle inside his backpack, nor would he mention the fact that he could smell the
virus inside it...
But Lucy’s reaction made him feel that there was more to this story.
According to Lucy, she’s considered a core member of the F group. However, her
reaction makes it seem like she has rarely seen this drug before.
“Is this a standard item that your F group uses?” Ling Mo asked tentatively.
Lucy shook her head and frowned, “No, I’ve only seen this thing once before... and it
should still be in its research stage. Why did they have so many bottles? Could they
have stolen it....?”
“Research stage? Are you guys still studying this?”
Ling Mo was shocked. Those people from the Institute of Biology had professional
knowledge, equipment, and subjects to test on. And even with all that, they could only
create an unstable version of the mutant zombie drug.
If it weren’t because Ling Mo’s body was already developing towards the direction of a
zombie, he wouldn’t dare drink the drug made from the Spider Queen.
But in terms of virus content, the drug owned by the F group was much lower than the
mutant zombie drug.
At first, Ling Mo thought they had gotten this drug from somewhere. Unexpectedly, they
were the ones that developed it...
“Yeah! Actually, I didn’t tell you everything about our situation before. We came to X-City
not only for resources, but also for obtaining more equipment and materials for our
experiments. Also... This plan came from one of the researchers. He said that because
X-City was densely populated with zombies and psychics, it could help accelerate the
research.”
Lucy whispered.
“Can I know who the researcher is?” Ling Mo asked.
“I’m not supposed to say, but I guess this is also part of the reward...” Lucy said.
“Part of?”
“Yeah. This drug was only in its research stage. If future research is successful, it would
have been a great help to you.”
At this point, Lucy’s eyes became a little brighter.
“Tell me, why did the humans gain supernatural powers only after the zombies
appeared? What is the connection between the two? And the zombies we knew before
were supposed to be the living dead, but now they mutated, and as they evolve, they
gain back their memories and intelligence. They also gained a super high survival rate
and reproductive ability, as well as strong combat capabilities. This is simply an
upgraded version of humanity!”
Ling Mo stared at Lucy and nodded, “Go on.”
But Ling Mo didn’t notice that at this moment, Ye Lian was standing behind him, staring
at Lucy with a puzzled expression. Her nose twitched slightly, and she seemed to be
interested in Lucy’s words...
