Chapter 1212: The Outcome Was Decided Long Ago
Chapter 1212: The Outcome Was Decided Long Ago
“Pear! Don’t worry, I’ll get you out right away!” Ban Yue’s eyes were burning with excitement.
As expected of her Pear! Even at such a critical moment, she still risked herself to cooperate with her…
“Haha! Ling Mo, aren’t you supposed to be so cunning? This time you finally miscalculated! At first, I thought my chances of success were only seventy or eighty percent… but now, you’re one hundred percent doomed!”
Ban Yue ran wildly, mocking without holding back.
As someone who had been tricked by Ling Mo many times, even to the point of getting herself caught… this was truly satisfying!
“Heh…” Ling Mo responded with a calm, cold snort.
“Hahahaha…” Seeing his reaction, Ban Yue became even more delighted. The more this human acted calm on the surface, the more anxious he must be inside!
“Acting all composed… let’s see how long you can keep up the act!”
Ban Yue’s attention returned fully to Pear… after a round of mockery, the distance between them had closed to just over ten meters.
As for Ling Mo… he still had some distance to go!
But as soon as the two locked eyes, Ling Mo immediately raised his arm, as if preparing to speed up.
“Dream on!”
Ban Yue’s pupils shrank. She quickly kicked several sacks of rice forward.
The sacks burst open in midair, and a shower of rice rained down directly over Ling Mo’s head.
“Damn!” Ling Mo’s movements stalled for a moment.
Already lagging behind, this brief pause made it worse… By the time Ling Mo rushed out of the falling rice, Ban Yue had already reached the doorway.
“Hahaha! Who would’ve thought, after all this time, your skills still haven’t improved much! But I’m different, I’ve been evolving all along! This time, you’ve lost!”
With Pear just ahead, Ban Yue was in high spirits. Smiling, she reached out her hand and stepped into the passage: “Pear!”
But the moment she entered the passage, she finally saw the look in Pear’s eyes… and Pear’s previously muffled shouts suddenly became clear:
“Run! Go!”
“Huh?”
As Ban Yue showed a look of confusion, the door behind her suddenly slammed shut.
But at the very instant the door closed, a gray shadow suddenly peeled away from Ban Yue and lunged outside…
“Bang!”
The light in the passage dimmed again.
Almost at the same moment, Ban Yue snapped back to her senses and turned to rush for the door.
But as soon as she moved, a figure appeared beside her.
This figure raised its left arm and suddenly delivered a fierce elbow strike to the wall.
“Crack…”
A crack instantly appeared on the wall… and the crack kept extending upward.
Soon, when it reached the ceiling… that area looked like a string of firecrackers had been set off. In an instant, countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared… 𝑅αƝȪᛒËṦ
“Boom!”
That section of the passage collapsed with a roar right before Ban Yue’s eyes.
The door was now blocked by a pile of bricks…
“This…”
Ban Yue’s eyes widened. After a second of daze, she turned to the figure beside her: “Pear, what are you doing!”
But when she saw Pear’s state, she was stunned.
At this moment, Pear was gripping her own left arm tightly with her right hand… and half her face was filled with intense unwillingness.
Such strange behavior, it was almost like…
“Pear… you… what’s wrong with the other side of your face!” Ban Yue asked in astonishment.
“That’s all you see!” Pear angrily let go of her right hand and said, “Never mind that… I was giving you signals the whole time!”
“Signals?” Ban Yue thought for a moment and retorted, “You mean the way you kept blinking just now?”
“Yeah! You saw it, didn’t you! Why didn’t you run! If you hadn’t come in, that human’s plan would’ve been ruined!”
“But you blinked your left eye, then your right, how was I supposed to understand! That looked more like you had sand in your eyes than a signal! Besides… if that was your code, why did you start running away in the first place? When I saw that, of course I thought you were ready to cooperate with me from the inside! I’m the one who should be asking what’s going on here!” After yelling, Ban Yue suddenly started to realize… Yeah, what was going on? It seemed there was something very wrong here!
“Why would I suddenly get sand in my eyes at a time like that?!” Pear shot back, then shook her head. “No, there’s no point talking about this now. Besides, if you want to blame someone, blame that human for being too cunning. I made a move, and no matter what expression I gave you, you probably couldn’t calm down enough to observe and think it through. Plus, with him rushing over here, you were even less likely to notice anything strange. His real goal wasn’t to stop you, but to distract you. Now do you get it? This is a trap… he planned everything in advance, even the ceiling was already broken through from the inside. As for me… I don’t even know… what’s happened to me now…”
“Let’s not talk about that right now!” Ban Yue glanced at the bricks in front of her and said, “We should be thinking of a way to get out!”
“Ban Yue…”
“It looks like this can’t be opened anytime soon, so let’s just go the other way!”
Ban Yue let out a breath and turned around with determination.
But immediately, her expression froze.
Pear also turned around, her expression somewhat complicated, as if she was both angry and helpless.
“Ban Yue… I was just about to tell you… about this, that human already made preparations…”
At the other end of the passage, a figure was quietly standing there…
The figure had long hair draped over her shoulders, her head tilted slightly, and she gazed at them with a pair of rather bewildered eyes…
If they were close enough, Ban Yue and the others would probably be able to hear the low muttering from the figure’s mouth…
“Don’t let anyone through… Don’t let them through… I have to listen to Ling-Ge…”
“It’s her…” Ban Yue’s pupils contracted instantly.
At this moment, Ye Lian looked completely harmless on the surface…
But Ban Yue vaguely felt that if she really dared to walk over, then this quiet girl standing there might suddenly undergo a transformation in an instant…
“What a powerful feeling…”
“But, she doesn’t seem like she’ll come over on her own. If that’s the case…”
Ban Yue thought for a moment, then suddenly gritted her teeth and turned back: “We’d better go back the way we came…”
Swish!
An arm blocked her path.
Ban Yue turned her head and saw Pear’s reluctant face: “Sorry, this way isn’t possible either…”
“Pear…”
Pear struggled to take two steps, completely blocking her way.
She then raised her head and looked at Ban Yue: “Ling Mo asked me to tell you. Your success rate… from the very beginning, was zero.”
…
“Hu!”
Ling Mo also stopped in his tracks the moment the door closed, and as a muffled thud suddenly came from behind the door, Xia Na and the others finally snapped out of their shock.
From the hostage’s sudden accident to everything turning around now, it all seemed to happen in the blink of an eye…
“They’re locked in…”
As everyone stared at each other, Zhang Xincheng’s face suddenly changed and he looked up: “This is bad!”
The Boss of the Zombie horde is in trouble, what will the Zombie horde do?
Of course, they’ll rampage!
And as if to confirm Zhang Xincheng’s shout, a commotion suddenly erupted among the Zombies outside.
“Roar!”
“Bang bang bang…”
Everyone immediately sensed the change, their expressions turning extremely tense as they looked around warily.
“What on earth…”
Xu Shuhan had just clenched her fists when she felt Xia Na tug at her.
She turned her head and saw Xia Na giving her a sly smile.
“Don’t worry.”
Xu Shuhan was stunned… What did that mean?
“Thump thump thump!”
The commotion quickly spread to the roof, and it sounded like a large number of Zombies were swarming up.
Skinny Monkey and Gu Shuangshuang had already turned pale…
Just then, a figure carrying a huge Dark Shadow suddenly jumped down from the tunnel entrance.
Almost the moment it jumped in, the tunnel entrance was slammed shut with a “bang”…
“Creak…”
And that petite figure was left hanging below the tunnel entrance, swinging back and forth as she panted, “I did it!”
“Bl… Black Silk Captain!”
Mu Chen and the others instantly widened their eyes…
As for the thing used to block the tunnel entrance…
“Is that… a flattened car body?”
“Not just that…”
“No. Rather than what it is, I’m more concerned about Black Silk Captain’s weight! Is it really okay for her to hang down there like that?”
“Thump thump thump thump!”
A series of muffled thuds quickly came from the barricade, along with a teeth-grinding scratching sound.
But to everyone’s astonishment, Black Silk was actually hanging there steadily.
Meanwhile, outside the granary, a huge white head was secretly peeking out from behind a wall.
Its blood-red eyes spun around, quickly locking onto the warehouse surrounded by Zombies.
“MeGu~”
The giant Panda then licked its lips…
And inside the warehouse…
Whoosh!
A Grey Shadow suddenly appeared without a sound.
As it pounced from the Ceiling toward Yu Shiran, it suddenly changed direction and grabbed the wall with one hand.
“Bang!”
Plaster dust fell.
“What is that!” Zhang Xincheng and the others immediately raised their guns.
But the Grey Shadow had already darted nimbly twice and slipped behind a beam.
“I didn’t expect you to even anticipate this…” a voice followed.
