Chapter 1099: I Knew You Wanted to Trick Me
As soon as these words were spoken, the woman shivered. But the question she posed next made everyone instantly realize that her fear wasn’t due to Ling Mo’s words, but rather…
“How did you know?” As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned pale.
“What do you mean? Was this part of your plan?” Mu Chen immediately widened his eyes and questioned.
“No, I…” The woman clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, shook her head, then nodded, “Initially… I hoped you would directly fight it, but upon further thought, the risk was too high for us. If you win, we still have a chance, but if that Zombie laughs last, we’re doomed…”
“So, you decided to directly ask us for help?” Ye Kai continued with a dark expression.
The woman bit her lip, as if determined, and affirmed, “Yes, I know this is shameless, but considering we’re the same kind… Besides, I’ll provide you with all the Intelligence I know to ensure you can defeat it in battle! Although it has already discovered us, we still have a chance, as long as you listen to me…” However, at that moment, the woman suddenly stopped speaking and widened her eyes, then collapsed powerlessly. As she fell, Xia Na’s petite figure immediately appeared behind her.
Xia Na lightly clapped her hands, glanced down at the unconscious woman, and then revealed a strange smile amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, “Don’t mind… She wasn’t speaking much truth, so we shouldn’t listen to her.”
“I see…” Mu Chen and the others stiffly nodded.
“Could you not act like ‘even though we didn’t understand a word, you’re the Boss, so you decide’? I was speaking the truth!” Xia Na said.
“…” Everyone silently turned their heads.
“Xia Na is right,” Ling Mo said, “This woman is deceiving us.”
“In what way?” Xu Shuhan quickly calmed down and asked.
“Not in any specific way, to be precise, it’s her motive,” Black Silk interjected. “Do you think someone who was just thinking about how to make us perish together with that Zombie would truly place all her hopes on us the next moment? Although women’s thoughts are indeed hard to grasp, this goes beyond turning faces like flipping pages…”
“Not only that…” Ling Mo squatted down, searched the woman, and then took out a string of Keys, shaking them in front of everyone, “I believe she hates this job, but to achieve this in spite of hatred, this woman is not to be underestimated.”
“Then…” The others exchanged glances, Mu Chen thought for a moment and said, “We don’t have to knock her out, right? We could use her instead…”
“If I could interrogate her, I would have tried… But since I can’t, we shouldn’t give her any chance. She knows more about this place and that Zombie than we do. What if she does something behind our backs?” Ling Mo said.
“But hasn’t that Zombie already heard our conversation?” Ye Kai asked.
Ling Mo looked up at him and said seriously, “Obviously… I was bluffing.”
“Huh?”
“Just trying to trick her. See if we can extract some Intelligence. But one thing is true, that Zombie has indeed sensed us. I have a feeling, something was watching us just now. Moreover, it gave me an uncomfortable experience.” Ling Mo pinched his brow, “Actually, I’m very anxious now. It feels like a giant Zombie is drooling over me… Although I’m used to this experience, this time it still makes me shiver…”
“I didn’t feel anything…” Black Silk said thoughtfully, pinching her chin. From Ling Mo’s description, it’s clear this Zombie has strong psychic sensing ability. Such Zombies often have advanced Intelligence evolution, which explains why a Zombie can Control a human.
However, the nature of their relationship remains unknown. Even if the woman didn’t lie about this, what she said was merely her own speculation.
Unexpectedly, the dead Human-headed Spider had so many secrets, coupled with its smile before death, Ling Mo suddenly felt that the Spider was indeed not simple…
Xia Na also frowned and nodded, then said with some apprehension, “Since neither Black Silk nor I sensed anything, Gu Shuangshuang probably didn’t either? This means the Zombie is targeting Ling-Ge?”
“Yes…” Ling Mo affirmed, “Although it was just a moment, I felt it was searching for something on me…”
“Searching for something?” Ye Lian curiously scrutinized Ling Mo, but ultimately tilted her head in confusion.
The others also focused on Ling Mo, but what on him caught the Zombie’s attention?
“Alright, don’t think about it, if it’s trouble, we can’t avoid it. Besides, a Zombie that can interact with humans must have something special. If it really comes to us, it might not be a bad thing.” Ling Mo said cryptically. řã₦o͍ΒÊṨ
If the three Female Zombies maintained a “wild” lifestyle, they would inevitably hunt Senior Zombies daily. But for Ling Mo and the others, besides occasional encounters, it’s difficult to specifically seek such prey…
So when the woman mentioned this Zombie, Ling Mo was actually quite interested… But being used as a pawn? That’s out of the question.
Now that Xia Na knocked her out, whatever they do next won’t have that unsettling feeling…
“What about her?” Yu Shiran squatted beside the woman and suddenly asked.
“Let’s take her out first,” Ling Mo shook the string of Keys, “She said she has a secret to make Spiders ignore her.”
Everyone suddenly realized…
Although the woman was knocked out, Ling Mo hadn’t forgotten this…
Using the woman as a “Spider repellent,” Ling Mo and his group moved unimpeded. They wandered around the warehouse for a while before finally finding a narrow room…
This place had no Spider Silk, but there was a relatively clean spring bed. Almost as soon as the door opened, Ling Mo spoke, “This must be her room.”
“Agreed.” The others peeked inside and nodded.
The room didn’t have many extra furnishings, so after a brief search, Ling Mo and his group quickly found a bag. However, upon opening it, everyone seemed a bit… at a loss.
“I guess… this is edible?” Yuwen Xuan glanced at the woman and said.
Indeed, nothing like this was found on her…
“Is it?” Li Yalin picked one up, curiously holding it to her eyes.
“After swallowing it, you’ll be treated as a Spider, right?” Ye Kai’s Adam’s apple moved up and down as he whispered.
“Isn’t that obvious… because these are Spider Eggs!” Mu Chen said angrily.
The bag contained all semi-transparent Spider Eggs…
Thinking about the woman’s mysterious “benefit” being this, everyone suddenly felt deceived.
Sure enough, this woman is not easy to deal with!
“We each take one, just for temporary use, we shouldn’t need to swallow it.” Ling Mo sniffed the Spider Egg and said.
These Spider Eggs were already dead, but they emitted a strong Venom smell. Consuming too many of these would eventually cause some variation in the body.
“What about her now?” Xu Shuhan glanced at the woman and asked.
“Leave her here, she won’t wake up for a few hours.” Ling Mo thought for a moment and said.
