Chapter 81
After making things clear, people began to express their dissatisfaction one after another. In the end, out of the fifty-nine people, a total of nineteen stood up.
Li Mo was very clear that at least ten of these nineteen people had been instigated by the people around them, and among the forty people who had not spoken, there were still people who were dissatisfied with her.
“You are free to stay or leave,” Li Mo’s gaze swept over the nineteen people one by one, and then over the remaining forty people. “Neither I nor my Boss Wen have ever restricted you from leaving the base, nor have we restricted you from finding compatible partners to take on missions together.”
“If you have any opinions, just say them directly. Don’t hold them in. I don’t want to have to worry about someone shooting me in the back when I’m on a mission.”
Li Mo was too lazy to waste her breath on these people. After leaving a few simple words, she drove away directly.
**
Li Mo, who had returned alone in a car, soon attracted the attention of most of the people in the base. They were all discussing whether the legend of the “Zero Casualty Team” was about to be broken.
But because the smell of blood on Li Mo’s body was relatively strong, the curious people only dared to take one more look at her. No one was bold enough to stop her and ask about the situation.
Pushing open the door of the large bedroom, the room was empty. The person who was often nestled on the sofa was not there, only a thick coat that belonged to her.
The mission that Wen Runan had taken on was a little more difficult than Li Mo’s. She needed to lead a team of less than a hundred people and kill a total of more than a thousand zombies.
Not only that, but Wen Runan also needed to clear a safe and spacious passage within forty-eight hours so that the bus carrying the university students could safely drive from City F to the base.
Thinking that Wen Runan would not be able to come back tonight, Li Mo was inexplicably annoyed. She was too lazy to even wash up and directly threw herself on the sofa.
Before Li Mo could rest quietly for a while, 033’s reminder came first. “Master, the male lead seems to be rushing here with a lot of people. It seems that he is here to find trouble with you.”
“A lot of people?” Li Mo still lay on the sofa, not even opening her eyes. “Are there many researchers, or are there many ability users?”
“Master, relatively speaking, there are more ability users. There are a total of twelve ability users. As for the researchers, including the male lead, there are a total of five people.”
She had only been lying down for ten minutes, and Gu Sheng had already brought people over. It seemed that a mole had tipped them off.
The timing was quite good. She had come back alone. The villa was empty now. Wen Runan was not here, and the team members who could help her were also not here.
Before Gu Sheng entered the building, Li Mo got up from the sofa. She didn’t take the stairs, but directly opened the window and jumped down, landing steadily in front of the main door, and also in front of Gu Sheng.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng immediately took two steps back, and the twelve accompanying ability users quickly protected Gu Sheng behind them.
“You’re here for me?” Li Mo put one hand in her pocket and glanced at Gu Sheng nonchalantly.
“Captain Li, I suspect that you deliberately killed an ability user to improve your own ability. Please come with us and cooperate with our investigation,” one of the ability users said. His wording sounded very official, but his tone was very firm.
“Suspect?” Li Mo moved her neck. The posture she had been lying in on the sofa just now seemed a little off, making her neck a little uncomfortable. “So there’s no evidence?”
“Please cooperate with our investigation, Captain Li,” the ability user repeated his previous words. At the same time, the people behind him all raised their guns and aimed them all at Li Mo’s head.
“Master, there are also snipers ambushing you in the distance. There are a total of five people within a thousand-meter range,” 033 said.
What a grand gesture. It seemed that they were determined to take her back.
Li Mo: “Where are you taking me? The research institute? Or some other place to cooperate with the investigation?”
“You don’t need to know that, Captain Li. You just need to cooperate with our investigation, Captain Li,” the ability user said, taking out a pair of special handcuffs that he had prepared in advance from his pocket and motioning for Li Mo to extend her hands.
Li Mo narrowed her eyes slightly. “Are you asking me to cooperate with the investigation? Why do I feel that you’re just going to convict me directly? Asking me to wear handcuffs?”
Seeing the handcuffs, the expression on Li Mo’s face changed. The originally slightly casual smile was put away, and the coldness between her brows was immediately released. The cold murderous intent on her body was also no longer hidden and was poured out without reservation.
“You want to be my enemy?” Li Mo’s dark red eyes became more obvious. Seeing this group of people pointing their black muzzles at her, she became more and more angry.
The ability user made a hand signal to the people around him. A total of twelve people quickly spread out, forming a semi-encircling formation around Li Mo, blocking all her escape routes.
“Oh, it seems you want to be my enemy,” Li Mo laughed, putting her hand on her back and using her body as a cover to take out two guns.
The ability user’s pupils shrank, and he immediately ordered! “Shoot!”
Bang—bang, bang— Gunshots kept ringing out, and dense bullet marks appeared on the villa’s main door.
In front of more than ten people and five snipers, Li Mo’s figure disappeared from everyone’s sight. No matter which direction they looked, they could not find her tracks.
“Where is she?” Gu Sheng became nervous at once. He was very self-aware now. He had provoked Li Mo before, and recently, to deal with her, he had specially extracted the “core” from a zombie’s body to create an artificial crystal core.
If she were given a chance to make a move, he would definitely be her first target.
“Looking for me?” Li Mo’s voice sounded from behind Gu Sheng, followed by a “bang” and a gunshot. Two beautiful flowers of blood bloomed on Gu Sheng’s forehead.
“Gu Sheng!” Everyone present widened their eyes. They had all been instructed to protect Gu Sheng at all costs. Anyone could have an accident, but not Gu Sheng.
It was precisely because of this instruction that Gu Sheng was protected in the innermost circle. They had almost used their own bodies as Gu Sheng’s shield.
“Wow, so Researcher Gu’s blood is also red. He will also die after his brain is pierced by a bullet,” Li Mo smiled and, in front of everyone, reached into Gu Sheng’s head. After touching his crystal core, she directly crushed it.
“Kill! Kill him! Shoot! Shoot!” Seeing Gu Sheng’s wide-open eyes before he died, the leading ability user was not calm. Gu Sheng had had an accident. He had to bear most of the blame.
If he didn’t kill Li Mo on the spot, the doctor would definitely use him as an example. He didn’t want to become a test subject, and even less so a monster!
With her superhuman speed, Li Mo dodged ninety percent of the bullets. Occasionally, one or two were missed, but they basically all hit her arm. With a crisp “clang,” the warhead fell to the ground without a temper.
“How did you gather your intelligence! Didn’t you say that she was only fast and strong? Why can’t the bullets even pierce her hand!” The researcher who had no ability couldn’t help but roar. They had no ability. The only thing they could rely on was the gun in their hands.
In the end, after the fight started, you tell me that the other party is not afraid of guns? Isn’t this just bringing them here to die?
“Damn it. I’ve already told the boss not to bring this group of people when we’re fighting! They’re just a hindrance!” an ability user on the side complained. To prevent the remaining four researchers from having an accident, they could only spare two ability users to protect their safety.
Li Mo licked her lips. Finding that there was a smell of blood on them, she spat it out with great disgust. “Seriously, dirty people. Even their blood is dirty.”
As soon as her voice fell, two sharp short knives appeared in Li Mo’s hands, and she directly went for the researchers’ heads.
The more they wanted to protect something, the more Li Mo wanted to destroy it. Besides, these black-hearted researchers were of no use to the development of the base. It didn’t matter if they died.
In the three months she had been on missions, Li Mo had actually never used her full strength. It was the same today. When she faced the evolved zombie, she had only used less than half of her strength.
To be honest, compared to the evolved zombie with a perverted defense, these twelve ability users were a bit lacking.
Their so-called fireballs, ice blades, flying knives, and poison gas, after landing on Li Mo’s body, could not cause her any harm at all. The only thing that was affected was Li Mo’s clothes, which had some holes of different shapes.
“You guys are so annoying,” Li Mo found that she couldn’t calm down. Seeing a fireball flying towards her, she couldn’t be bothered to hide her ability anymore. She directly blocked it with her hand and then crushed it with a look of annoyance.
What the heck? Were they seeing things just now? Why did Li Mo’s hand suddenly become bigger? What did she do again? She directly extinguished the fireball?
“Forget it. Let’s just destroy it,” Li Mo closed her eyes, and the ten fingers on her hands all turned into sharp blades, the kind that could be infinitely extended.
Three minutes later, the last crystal core was taken out by Li Mo and then neatly crushed and absorbed.
Besides the five snipers who were far away, a total of seventeen people had come. None of them survived.
The five snipers who had watched a massacre from a distance were not much better off. After watching, they couldn’t even hold their guns. In the end, their mentality directly collapsed. After throwing down their heavy sniper rifles, they directly ran away.
“Ah, what a hassle…” Looking at the corpses on the ground, Li Mo’s face was full of disgust. She said to herself, “So many people have died. I probably can’t stay in the base anymore, right?”
After a long while, 033 spoke weakly. “Master, how are you feeling now? Do you want to rest for a while?”
“Rest?” Li Mo laughed. “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with my body?”
“Master, your brain waves have been abnormally active since you jumped down,” 033 did not dare to hide it. “According to the data analysis, it is very likely that the artificial crystal core from before has affected you.”
“If possible, why don’t you rest for a while, Master? Have a good sleep and adjust your mood,” 033 suggested.
“Have a good sleep?” Li Mo closed her eyes and slowly let out a breath. “I also want to have a good sleep, but they don’t seem to have given me a chance.”
“Master, you still have to wait for the female lead to come back.”
Li Mo opened her eyes and let her thoughts wander for a bit.
“By the way, Wen Runan hasn’t come back yet. I’ll go and find her,” Li Mo said, looking down at her feet.
Because she had not moved, the soles of her shoes had already been dyed red with blood.
“Ah, it seems I have to wash up before I can set off…”
