My Girlfriend is a Zombie Chapter 770: The Quiet Awakening of a Masochistic Tendency

Chapter 770: The Quiet Awakening of a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic Tendency

Over the next few minutes, Mu Chen’s suspicions were confirmed.

Their group continued to venture further into the green belt, yet the pursuing enemies never appeared.

Was it possible that Niepan hadn’t sent anyone after them? Mu Chen doubted it.

After Ling Mo’s brazen display of humiliation, leaving Niepan’s face thoroughly battered and unrecognizable, there was no way they could tolerate it…

Even as a companion, Mu Chen couldn’t help but feel a strong urge to find a rock to knock Ling Mo down when he saw him “floating” and smiling faintly at the dozens of people below from a lofty perspective.

So what if you can “fly”?

Even if it’s truly impressive, there’s no need to have such an irksome, smug expression! It’s written all over his face: “Come up if you have the guts!”

Mu Chen guessed that those on the ground were probably thinking the same thing.

“Why don’t you come down if you’re so great?”

However, being normal people, no one would actually voice such a shameful taunt.

But this alone proved that Ling Mo’s mockery was very successful…

Ordinary Members might overlook such taunts considering the vast difference in strength; there’s no need for them to risk their lives over it. However, Mu Chen could totally imagine the reaction of Niepan’s senior management.

“Those ordinary headquarters Members always show off their superiority when they come over to a branch, let alone the senior management? Their self-esteem must be through the roof… Even if Ling Mo’s actions didn’t deliver a fatal blow to Niepan, he’s definitely skyrocketed to the top of Niepan’s. .h.i.t list…”

While these thoughts ran through Mu Chen’s mind, his gaze flickered over Lan Lan and her father, as well as the sungla.s.ses man.

Old Lan’s background was something Mu Chen knew, but he wasn’t very clear about Old Lan’s standing within Niepan headquarters.

And the sungla.s.ses man… In Mu Chen’s eyes, he was just a peculiar-looking thug.

Such a power-hungry and cunning person might have secured a position within Niepan, but it wouldn’t be a high one…

Like Lan Lan, Mu Chen also couldn’t figure out why Ling Mo had captured him.

But then again, when had Mu Chen ever understood anything Ling Mo did?

This was supposed to be their first night infiltrating Niepan, but Ling Mo had suddenly taken things to a climax.

Throughout the whole process, Mu Chen had only a.s.sisted Ling Mo with some support tasks and knew almost nothing.

He initially thought that something unexpected had occurred during Ling Mo’s psychic probe, and things just changed “like this and that”…

But the fact that he had to use vague phrases like “this and that” to comfort and fool himself made Mu Chen want to cry…

However, when he saw Ye Lian and Xia Na, Mu Chen began to doubt his judgment.

Could it be that Ling Mo had planned everything from the start? Is that why he had already arranged backup?

But Ling Mo hadn’t even entered Niepan headquarters before, so on what basis were these backup plans made…

Too many puzzles left Mu Chen utterly confused.

He seized an opportunity to walk beside Lan Lan and quietly asked, “Hey, can you tell me how you ended up following Ling Mo?”

“Oh, that…” Lan Lan stretched the sound, taking a good few seconds before answering, “We just b.u.mped into him.”

“Hey, that’s a vague answer! And your tone is so impatient! Even if you want to fool me, can’t you at least maintain proper att.i.tude…” Mu Chen responded skeptically.

Ling Mo, who was in front, suddenly turned around and motioned for Mu Chen to come over.

“What now?” Mu Chen asked with a frown.

Ling Mo smiled, “I need to explain some things to you.”

“Really?!” Mu Chen frowned, suspicious.

Seeing Ling Mo’s seemingly “friendly” smile, warning bells immediately rang in Mu Chen’s mind.

“Whenever he smiles like that, he’s planning something against me!”

Despite this, Mu Chen couldn’t suppress his curiosity.

“Alright, go ahead,” Mu Chen said, his face tense.

“Whimper whimper…” The sungla.s.ses man whimpered again. This time, before Ling Mo could kick him, Mu Chen discreetly stepped in and kicked him instead.

“Shut up!”

Hearing Mu Chen’s low growl, the sungla.s.ses man’s face twitched, and his eyes seemed to roll back slightly.

Being kicked by Ling Mo allowed him to demonstrate his unyielding spirit. But being kicked by Mu Chen only brought him a sense of humiliation.

He had never fought with Mu Chen before and a.s.sumed Mu Chen was just a lackey of Ling Mo…

Thinking this, the sungla.s.ses man snorted heavily through his nose to express his disdain.

“d.a.m.n, you’re so c.o.c.ky!” Mu Chen fumed.

Ling Mo, however, conveniently tossed the sungla.s.ses man over to Mu Chen: “He’s all yours.”

“Thanks…” Mu Chen lifted the sungla.s.ses man but quickly sensed something amiss, “Wait, did you give him to me on purpose?”

Ling Mo rubbed his wrist, smiling, “Why would I…”

“But you look so relaxed!”

“I have something important to discuss.” Ling Mo said, turning somewhat serious.

As he spoke, he slipped his hands into his pockets, “Your efforts played a significant role in our successful infiltration this time.”

“Whimper whimper!” The sungla.s.ses man started struggling again, quickly s.h.i.+fting his hateful gaze from Ling Mo to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen felt a chill down his spine, and his expression turned a bit grim.

The sungla.s.ses man was, after all, a superhuman with mental abilities, and combined with his special eyes, his stare could indeed exert considerable pressure.

Unlike Ling Mo, who possessed formidable psychic power, Mu Chen began to feel uncomfortable instantly.

“So you did just want to dump him on me!” Mu Chen said, distressed.

“He’s interfering with my recovery…” Ling Mo said while rubbing his temple with one hand, “With a formidable enemy ahead, it’s better to prepare early.”

“Oh, so you do understand that!” Mu Chen rolled his eyes.

Ling Mo glanced at Xia Na and Ye Lian ahead, and an involuntary hint of a smile flashed across his eyes.

Seeing such a rare expression, Mu Chen’s eyelid twitched, and he scoffed dismissively, “Love-struck goofball.”

“You’re really attention-seeking… And even if you’re jealous, there’s no need to show it so blatantly,” Ling Mo responded, retracting his gaze. Then he continued, “I won’t say too much, but there are some things I haven’t told you because I have my own reasons.”

“Alright, it’s probably something like ‘it’s for your own good,’ right…” Mu Chen waved his hand dismissively, shaking his head as he spoke.

“Not exactly. It’s more like you just don’t need to know. And honestly, it’s better if you don’t know.” Ling Mo replied bluntly.

“Hey!”

Although Mu Chen’s expression showed his displeasure, he couldn’t help but inwardly sigh.

As odd as it might sound, admitting it felt a bit like he had a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic streak… But truth be told, Ling Mo’s bluntness actually made Mu Chen feel somewhat relieved.

After all, he had been deceived by Ling Mo countless times with half-hearted excuses. Now, to finally hear some honesty…

Moreover, the fact that Ling Mo was being truthful with him at this moment probably meant he fully trusted him, right?

“Fine, if you say I don’t need to know, then I don’t need to know. I’m just a curious person by nature.” Mu Chen chuckled self-deprecatingly.

The sungla.s.ses man, eavesdropping and hoping to glean some insider information, didn’t expect Ling Mo to switch topics so abruptly.

This made him furrow his brows in frustration, unable to voice his discontent. As for Mu Chen’s easy acceptance, it infuriated him even more.

Fight back a little! How could you compromise so easily…

“I appreciate your understanding.” Ling Mo said, suddenly s.h.i.+fting the topic, “I’m telling you all this because I don’t want there to be any misunderstandings between us. After all, you’re acting as an instructor here.”

“It’s just a squad…” Mu Chen began to reply proudly, but then squinted suspiciously, “We agreed I would just be an instructor. Don’t try to trick me.”

“You misunderstand.” Ling Mo patted Mu Chen’s shoulder earnestly, “I was just thinking about expanding the squad a bit…”

It took a second for Mu Chen to process this sudden piece of information, after which he lost his cool: “This is exploitation! Oppression! Sheer cruelty! Tell me, to what extent do you want to expand it, how many people do you plan on adding…”

In the lane of the Medical University, a dozen figures were sprinting down the middle of the road.

Each of these people carried weapons, and the one leading them held a handgun-it was the guard ordered by the Experimental Group’s Team Leader.

He was quite unlucky. As Captain Song of the guard team wasn’t around, the task of leading this team had fallen on him by default.

Watching as his usually unruly teammates obediently followed behind him, he couldn’t muster any happiness.

These guys weren’t really listening to him; they just wanted to clear themselves of any blame…

As the temporary commander, his sole function was to bear responsibility, wasn’t it?

At this moment, he was frowning and staring at an intersection up ahead, his mind racing with thoughts: “What should I do?”

It had been nearly twenty minutes, and they had found nothing in this vast campus…

While he felt a bit relieved by this, he couldn’t openly show any signs of slacking off…

“Is the front gate covered?” he asked, turning back.

“Of course, people are watching all the roads leading in and out,” someone in the group lazily replied.

Hearing this, a look of bitterness flashed across the guard’s face.

Those jerks were setting them up!

Blocking the gate was proactive, but didn’t it also mean that their team might very likely run into that troublemaker?!

n.o.body present wanted to be part of this chase, yet they had been given an uncompromising order from above.

Unlike regular members, they were a squad entirely under Niepan’s command, with no ability to refuse orders.

The Experimental Group’s Team Leader dared to send them out because their unit was the least likely to have any infiltrators.

But Ling Mo’s strength, along with the unknown enemies lurking in the shadows, posed significant risks…
