Chapter 876: You Have the Talent to Be a Spy
…After a moment, Ling Mo straightened up and said, “Fortunately, no one secretly contacted Falcon Camp. As long as we quickly control the remaining hostiles, the initiative will completely be in our hands. By the time Falcon realizes something is amiss, it will be too late, and they will have to passively accept the outcome.”
“Hey, you unknowingly compared our actions to some kind of misdeed!” Zhang Yu couldn’t help but shout from the side.
Despite his words, Zhang Yu swiftly began following Ling Mo’s instructions. These captives were used as living examples to persuade surrenders, with their fixed lines being: Drop your weapons and no communication.
From the current situation, the later Falcon finds out, the more beneficial it is for the Second Camp…
“By the way, about tonight…”
As Yuwen Xuan turned his head, he found Ling Mo had already disappeared…
“Darn it!” he couldn’t help but curse.
…The chaos at the Second Camp lasted for two hours. Since the “senior management” was entirely wiped out, most of the blocked Falcon members decisively gave up and chose to surrender.
As for those running around with guns… or even trying to escape, their lives were claimed one by one by a few shadows darting through the night.
“Another corpse!”In the shadow outside one of the buildings, a team was inspecting the corpse on the ground.
One burly man waved his hand and said, “No need to look!” He reached for his Communicator, grinned widely, and laughed heartily, “It’s my friend who’s arrived.”
“Tom’s friend…”
“So this was your friend’s doing?”
“Uh… probably his friend’s wife.”
Everyone silently surrounded the corpse, remarking, “So fierce…”
“The feature is actually being very beautiful…” Tom corrected.
Cleansing the enemy wouldn’t actually take two hours. But the Second Camp, which had been suppressed for a long time, seemed to unleash a hurricane, swiftly clearing out everything and everyone Falcon had planted here.
Zhang Yu continued to shout commands while venting his frustration. Ironically, the fact that he could be so thorough showed that he knew everything. Nothing is more exasperating than watching someone mess with your home while you’re fully aware of it. He initially thought that the Second Camp would have to passively endure this, but was surprised at how quickly the situation reversed.
Although he often felt that Ling Mo’s approach was reckless, at this moment, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but think with satisfaction, “Taking the initiative to counterattack is great! Instead of always worrying about when the other side will make a move, it’s better to strike first! Come to think of it, we just lack a bit of courage…”
Ever since being targeted by those core powers, Zhang Yu had been living under the word “endure.” Not only did he endure, but he also dragged Yuwen Xuan along with him. The reason? Too many concerns. ???Ô???
With over three hundred Members under his responsibility, he couldn’t just take his daughter and fend for themselves. He couldn’t afford to lose, didn’t dare fight, and even when pressured into a corner, he still thought of seeking aid.
How powerful could Ling Mo be anyway? Zhang Yu wasn’t sure.
After all, he’s just an individual; could he really compare to the giant that is Falcon?
But recalling that Ling Mo once took down the Air Force Corps, Zhang Yu harbored a glimmer of hope.
As for whether he was grasping at straws, Zhang Yu wasn’t certain.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that confidence doesn’t come from imagination; at least Ling Mo was more courageous than any of them. If he knew Ling Mo had previously taken on Niepan, he might have been left speechless…
“I’m saying… he could just walk away whenever he wanted,” Yuwen Xuan suddenly remarked from beside him.
Zhang Yu, filled with emotion, was momentarily stunned and maintained that expression for nearly a minute afterward…
“Ling-Ge!”
Inside the building, as Ling Mo turned a corner, three figures rushed towards him.
He swiftly jumped back, dodging six sharp claws while protecting his vital parts with his hands, “All done?”
Even after the failed ambush, Xia Na was still all smiles, “It was simple!”
Ye Lian and Li Yalin, standing behind her, nodded obediently in agreement.
Wang Lin, who hadn’t had enough fun, chimed in as well, “Yeah, we’ve left the rest for others to handle.”
“Why are the people at the Central Region Camp acting so eager…”
After regrouping, Ling Mo led the girls back to the area near the archive room.
The two overly frightened staff members had already been removed, leaving the surroundings completely empty.
“The female spy has a secret space here, but her memory doesn’t have much information on how to access it,” Ling Mo said quietly on the way.
Ye Lian silently waved her fist, implying that problems like this could be solved with brute force…
But Ling Mo shook his head and said, “I’m afraid that won’t work. She installed a self-destruct mechanism there. If we don’t open it the correct way, we won’t get to see what’s inside. She may look delicate, but she used to be a top student in the chemistry department.”
“Chemistry, huh…,” Xia Na mused, rubbing her chin. “So if we recklessly break down the door, we might find the compartment filled with something like white phosphorus?” Catching Ling Mo’s gaze, she quickly shrugged and added, “I’m just saying. No matter how much of a genius she is, I’m only a high school student, okay? It’s hard to imagine specifics without seeing the actual setup.”
“Funny how you never brought up being a high school student when you were developing the 108 moves…”
Just as the conversation threatened to veer off track, Wang Lin interrupted with a question: “What’s the 108 moves?”
“We’re here.”
Ling Mo glanced at the door and decisively turned the handle.
“Ah! I thought you said we shouldn’t open it randomly!” Wang Lin exclaimed.
Compared to her reaction, Ye Lian and the other two girls remained unusually calm… Li Yalin even rolled her eyes and muttered, “Amateur…”
“What kind of secret space is hidden inside an entire restroom! Use some common sense, will you!” Ling Mo said, entirely exasperated.
However, Ling Mo couldn’t help but inwardly criticize. This woman named Yu Xian was indeed a perfect candidate for a spy. It’s no wonder she left her chemical talents untouched and was sent here instead. By setting a secret space inside the ladies’ room, she could come and go without raising suspicion. Moreover, aside from those two colleagues, the likelihood of anyone else barging into the ladies’ room and conducting a detailed search was practically zero. Clever plan!
Once inside, Ling Mo headed straight for the innermost cubicle.
Outside this cubicle was a sign saying “Out of Order,” and a piece of Barbed Wire was hanging on the door. Judging by the rust on the wire, it seemed it hadn’t been opened for quite a long time.
Ye Lian moved to the adjacent cubicle, looked up, then tapped on the divider and said, “She probably… used to go over this way…”
Li Yalin nodded in agreement, “Yeah, this panel looks slightly more worn out compared to the other side! She must have climbed over it often…”
“You’ve definitely got it wrong…” Ling Mo said, removing the Barbed Wire and pushing the door open.
“That’s the one,” he said, pointing to the toilet tank.
“How much could you fit in there?” Wang Lin asked curiously, peering over.
Xia Na set her Scythe aside and said, “Let me take a look.”
By now, she understood Ling Mo’s intention. In this kind of enclosed space, probably only Senior Zombies like them could use their sense of smell to assess what was inside.
But before she began, she remarked with some relief, “Good thing she didn’t put it inside the toilet.”
“Fishing stuff out of the toilet daily would definitely leave some psychological scars…” Ling Mo replied with a wry smile.
Xia Na examined it closely and said, “There’s quite a strong chemical smell… It’s not just a trap; there’s been extensive modification done here…” She tapped around with her hand, “If we force it open, there might be an explosion or fire. But for us, that’s just a minor issue…”
A few minutes later, Xia Na suddenly exclaimed with excitement, “Found it! The spot with the weakest scent; we can break in from here without any problems!”
With Wang Lin present, it wasn’t appropriate for Xia Na to take on the startling task of opening the box by hand, so the job fell to Li Yalin.
With a gentle insertion of the sharp Snake Kiss, they immediately heard a soft “clink.”
“There’s really a hidden compartment!” Ling Mo exclaimed, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
Li Yalin continued to apply force, and soon had the entire edge pried up.
Accompanied by “click, click, click” sounds, the outer plastic shell cracked open bit by bit, revealing a layer of sheet metal underneath.
“This is it…” Xia Na remarked. “The spot Yalin applied force to is right at the seam. If that person also had some decent welding skills, even we wouldn’t be able to open the tank without causing damage.”
“Crack!”
Once Li Yalin had patiently widened the gap, she twisted it open completely.
As the tank split open entirely, a metal box immediately came into view.
“What’s this?” Xia Na carefully extracted it and placed it on the washbasin.
“No chemical scent,” she said after another check and then handed it over to Ling Mo.
There was no lock on the box, so Ling Mo gently lifted the latch and opened it.
However, the contents took him by surprise…
There was a note, a photograph, and a Communicator…
“This is… a number, isn’t it?” Ling Mo said, examining the note.
He picked up the photo and paused for a moment.
It was a printout from a color printer. Though the quality was somewhat strange, the image was clear enough.
The background appeared to be a riverside in X City, with the main subjects being a man and a woman. The woman was Yu Xian, while the man had a refined and gentle appearance…
“Just like what I saw in her memory,” Ling Mo murmured, studying it for a couple more seconds before unapologetically slipping it into his pocket.
“Why are you taking their photo?” Wang Lin asked.
“To recognize the face later…”
As he spoke, Ling Mo’s attention turned to the Communicator…
