Chapter 1210: This emphasis sounds a bit off
On the rooftop.
“What should we do?” A figure wrapped in a windbreaker looked up and asked.
This figure was clearly Ban Yue…
But its current state was not only furious… it was also somewhat frantic…
It was one thing to lose the verbal spat just now…
“The worst part is, he actually doesn’t remember me!” Ban Yue said angrily.
Standing beside it was another figure… This one had its head lowered, wearing a duckbill cap that almost completely covered its face. After hearing Ban Yue’s words, it suddenly let out a cold laugh: “What do you mean? If we’re talking about not remembering… didn’t he call you by name?”
“I’m not talking about that, I mean… forget it! Let’s get back to business!” Ban Yue clenched its fist, making a click sound, “Anyway… I’ll make him remember.”
“Business, huh… Speaking of which, isn’t this human trying to lure you into a trap?” the figure said.
“Of course I caught that.”
“But that’s just what he wants you to think. Even if he really has that idea, he wouldn’t say it so bluntly, right? Don’t forget, humans are all very cunning. Hm? Why are you looking at me like that?” the figure asked.
“This look means ‘Are you kidding me?’! How could I forget how cunning he is? The way I am now, isn’t it all because he tricked me?” Ban Yue gritted its teeth, “And who knows? Maybe he really does have a ‘might as well give it a try’ attitude. Like thinking to himself, maybe that flat-chested fool will actually fall for it…”
“Oh… the emphasis in that sentence seems to be on ‘flat-chested’…” The other figure said in a strange tone, paused, then suddenly said, “This human doesn’t seem to play by the rules, so our original plan definitely won’t work. If it were any other human, we’d scare them a bit, make a random promise, and they’d probably let Pear go. But this one is different… If you want to deal with him, doesn’t he still have your companions with him?”
“What do you mean?” Ban Yue was stunned and asked.
“We’ll just start with her,” the figure said.
Seeing Ban Yue seemed about to object, the figure chuckled and said, “Don’t you want to rescue all of them? Then listen to me. Don’t worry, they’ll be fine. Besides, we can test the waters first.”
“Well… fine.” Ban Yue glanced at the figure, then suddenly narrowed its eyes, “You’re still my partner for now. And without us, you wouldn’t succeed in what you want to do either. Don’t forget that.”
The figure laughed, “Of course…”
But when it lifted its head, a faint smile flashed in those blood-red eyes beneath the brim of the hat: “I remember everything…”
…
“Eh, why aren’t they talking up there?” Ye Kai and the others once again showed anxious expressions.
Although the entanglement between Ling Mo and that Monster was truly shocking… no matter what, the fact that they were surrounded hadn’t changed!
“The captain has a hostage, right?” Mu Chen asked Xia Na in a low voice.
Just as Ling Mo thought… this group had been spectators for a while, but regarding the current situation, they were still completely in the dark.
Xia Na glanced in Ling Mo’s direction, then nodded, “That’s right.”
She was also a bit puzzled… Why hadn’t Ling Mo completely dealt with that fellow of his?
Wouldn’t that make things even more unpredictable…
“What about the one outside…” Mu Chen asked hesitantly, “Will it listen to the captain because of the hostage?”
“Most likely.” Xia Na thought for a moment and said, “If that flat-chested one is still the same as before. Hmm… that name really does suit her better.” Ṙ𝘼ŊỔ𝐛Ε𝐬
“Hearing you say that…” Li Yalin had just started to speak when Xia Na shot her a glare.
“It always feels strangely weird. Sorry, I just couldn’t help but finish.” Senior Sister blinked innocently.
“Hmph!” Xia Na snorted heavily, but her gaze drifted toward Yu Shiran not far away.
The Zombie Loli’s expression at the moment seemed a bit dazed…
“Probably at a loss, huh?” Xia Na thought to herself, then looked over at Ling Mo, “I wonder what Ling-Ge will do.”
…”Black Silk!”
At this moment, Ling Mo was shouting in his mind: “Black Silk, are you in position yet?”
As he spoke, he immediately switched perspectives.
Right away, a patch of darkness appeared before his eyes… then a glimpse of a wall flashed by.
After a bout of shaking, he saw a rusty water pipe.
“This angle is really low…” Ling Mo couldn’t help but marvel.
“What do you mean, looking down on me!”
“I didn’t say anything! Didn’t even think it!” Ling Mo said.
“Next time I’ll report you for child labor abuse!”
“I said I didn’t say it! How’s it going?”
“Reporting to master…” Black Silk panted, “Can’t you see I’m still crawling! It’s so… narrow and stuffy here! If a person tried to come in, they’d probably get crushed or suffocate!”
“How are you holding up?” Ling Mo asked.
“I’m… I’m breathing through silver thread…” Black Silk continued, “But… I think it’ll take me another two minutes to get there… Master, you… you need to stall for as long as you can…”
“I will,” Ling Mo replied.
“This time… you have to give me a raise.” Black Silk said, “Look at me… I’m panting like this.”
“Alright, alright… you really are making me look like a child labor boss.”
“Ten Gels a day.”
“Deal.”
“One mother hive a day.”
“Don’t push it!” Ling Mo shouted.
“…Tch! I’ll signal you when I get there.” Black Silk’s voice instantly returned to normal, “And don’t forget the ten.”
“At least stay in character till the end!” Ling Mo roared in his mind.
He immediately switched perspectives back…
At the big hole in the rooftop, a figure emerged.
But this figure wasn’t Ban Yue, it was another unfamiliar Zombie.
This Zombie glanced down twice, then jumped without hesitation.
Thud!
As soon as this Zombie landed, everyone in the warehouse fell silent.
Only Yuwen Xuan whispered, “This guy’s a pawn.”
“How do you know?” Ye Kai frowned and asked.
“Just look at what he’s wearing. Total background character. Pure Wild Zombie, barely any thinking ability,” Yuwen Xuan analyzed.
Ye Kai looked him over after hearing this… Sure enough, the Zombie was only wearing a pair of tattered pants, and the muscles on his face were twitching uncontrollably. As Ye Kai and the others looked at him, he couldn’t help but turn his head to look back, then suddenly opened his mouth wide in a ferocious snarl:
“Roar!”
