Chapter 79 p2
It was unknown what Gu Sheng had said to the doctor after he returned. In any case, for the next few months, no one who claimed to be a researcher came to visit Wen Runan.
After no one disturbed them, Li Mo and Wen Runan’s daily life also became simpler. They took on two missions a week. While completing the missions with high standards, they also tried their best to collect supplies to fill up their personal space.
Under the leadership of Wen Runan and Li Mo, however many people there were when they went on a mission, there would be that many when they returned.
After a long time, Wen Runan’s team became famous in the base and was directly called the “Zero Casualty Team,” the kind that made people want to join as soon as they heard the name.
Because going on a mission once a week was a strict requirement to stay in the base, after the reputation of the Zero Casualty Team spread, many lone wolves and small teams came to their door, begging Wen Runan to let them join.
Wen Runan had originally planned to expand the number of her team. As long as the combat power and character of the person who made the request were passable, she basically accepted them all.
Thus, after three months, Wen Runan’s team had also grown from twenty-one to more than one hundred and fifty people. Among the more than one hundred new members, there were a full twenty-one ability users, which immediately raised the overall strength of the Zero Casualty Team.
It would be too much of a waste of human resources for more than a hundred people to go on one mission together.
So Wen Runan spent a little time and selected a few reliable people from them, temporarily designated them as small team leaders, and independently led the team to complete some relatively simple missions.
“We’re separating again?” Li Mo’s voice was a little dissatisfied. She directly buried her head in Wen Runan’s neck and rubbed against it in dissatisfaction.
Compared to three months ago, there was a little more coldness in Li Mo’s eyes now. After all, many zombies and people had died at her hands during this period, which had affected her state to a certain extent.
“Be good. It’s only for two days this time. The danger level of these two missions is relatively high. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be at ease,” Wen Runan had already mastered the technique of stroking her fur.
“After we come back, we’ll rest for two days. How about we don’t go out for two days?” Wen Runan said softly, wrapping her arms around Li Mo’s waist so that she could lean closer to her.
“Two days?” Li Mo was a little tempted. “In those two days, can I do whatever I want?”
“At most two hours a day. If they are used together, it cannot exceed three hours,” Wen Runan roughly estimated her own stamina. Li Mo’s skills were very good. She didn’t mind enjoying it.
“You can’t always use your ability!” Wen Runan didn’t know what she had thought of and immediately added.
“Then can I have half?” Li Mo raised her head. “I will be like last time and make you very comfortable…”
“Alright, I know. You don’t have to say it,” Wen Runan directly covered Li Mo’s mouth. “Can you agree to lead the team now?”
Li Mo held Wen Runan’s wrist so that she could continue to speak. “Alright, but I only guarantee that they will live. If someone doesn’t follow my command and breaks their hands or feet, I won’t be responsible.”
Wen Runan withdrew her hand and leaned back on the sofa. “I know. There are many people who want to become stronger in this world. As long as they don’t do anything to hurt their teammates, we won’t be calculative with them for the time being.”

After accepting the mission, Li Mo took a total of sixty people, a convoy of fifteen cars, and had already set off when the sky was faintly brightening.
From the mission description alone, the mission that Li Mo had taken on this time was also a simple zombie clean-up mission. The area to be cleaned was also very small. It was just a villa area built on a mountainside, with a total of about thirty buildings.
But the problem was that this mission had been released for the second time. The team that had taken on the mission last time had lost contact for a week after they had set off. The team, which was originally composed of three ability users and seventeen young and strong men, only had one of the youngest ability users who had come back alive.
“There’s a very terrifying zombie there. It’s very powerful! Even more powerful than an ability user!” After struggling to say one sentence, the ability user had directly fainted and had not woken up until before Li Mo had set off.
The villa area was not far from the No. 3 base. The straight-line distance was about fifty kilometers. With Li Mo leading the way and accelerating, they arrived in the vicinity in less than two hours.
Li Mo got out of the car and sized up the gate of the villa area. It was covered in dried blood, both new and old. It was estimated that there had been no less than three bloody incidents here alone.
“The one we’re facing is very likely a purified zombie. Everyone, be on your guard. A small team of twenty people. Don’t act separately,” Li Mo said.
She soon divided the twelve ability users who had followed her into three small teams. Li Mo joined the small team that was in charge of searching the central area and continued to drive the off-road vehicle at the front.
“033, can you scan for any abnormal life forms?” Li Mo drove the car very slowly, looking around warily as she drove forward, ready to jump out of the car at any time.
“Master, three abnormal life forms have been detected in the vicinity. Their auras are stronger than ordinary zombies and ability users,” 033 quickly gave a reply. “Master, I have already marked their locations for you. The other small red dots are all ordinary zombies.”
Li Mo glanced at the floor plan given by 033, and then her brows furrowed tightly. “Are you sure these small red dots are all zombies? Not the flora and fauna in the villa area?”
“Master, this is the result after three scans. The accuracy rate is over ninety-nine point five percent.”
“All team leaders, pay attention. The situation has changed. The number of mutated zombies is more than expected. No one is to act alone! If the situation is not right, retreat first!” Li Mo said and directly stepped on the accelerator. After handing the car over to the small team leader, she took her knife and opened the car door.
“Continue to maintain this speed. You are the same. Don’t separate. If you can’t beat them, then retreat first,” Li Mo turned back and instructed, and then disappeared from the small team leader’s sight in three seconds.
According to the location given by 033, Li Mo soon arrived at the vicinity of the music fountain in the center of the villa area. Before she could draw her knife, a figure descended from the sky and landed directly in front of her.
Compared to the ordinary zombies who only knew how to eat, the evolved zombie in front of Li Mo looked much more pleasing to the eye and much more rational.
There were no bloodstains on his face. Although there was still a smell of decay on his body, it smelled much lighter than an ordinary zombie, within the tolerance range of an ordinary person.
“Hmm? The smell of a kindred?” A very hoarse voice came from the evolved zombie’s mouth. As he spoke, he approached Li Mo, and his movements were very smooth, no different from an ordinary person.
Li Mo stared at his blood-red eyes for a second, then neatly and domineeringly, she chopped at the evolved zombie’s neck.
Clang— Li Mo’s tiger’s mouth trembled. The long straight knife that was like cutting a watermelon when she was cutting ordinary zombies suddenly broke, and half of the blade flew far away.
On the other hand, the evolved zombie’s neck was basically intact. Only upon a closer look could one see a white mark on it.
“Why? Hit me?” The evolved zombie’s speech was a little slow, and there was obvious confusion in his eyes.
His perception told him that the person standing in front of him was his own kind, and a kind that was a little stronger than him. He really didn’t understand why his own kind would attack him.
Li Mo frowned, looked at the broken long straight knife with disgust, and then neatly threw it aside. In her hand, she was replaced by a powerful shotgun.
Bang—bang— Li Mo showed no mercy and aimed two shots at the talking zombie’s head.
This time, the attack was effective. The evolved zombie’s face was covered in blood, and its originally blood-red pupils were also blown into a skeleton.
“Kill—I want to kill—” The evolved zombie’s voice became sharp. It grew sharp fangs and nails and rushed towards Li Mo, waving its arms.
The attack power of the hot weapon was not satisfactory. Li Mo simply used her ability, directly turning her right hand into metal, and then extended her arm, turning it into a large iron hammer that could be infinitely extended. She smashed it on the evolved zombie again and again.
The evolved zombie’s external defense was very strong. A sharp blade could not cause much damage to it, but after being hammered three times, it began to spit out blood.
The expression on the evolved zombie’s face became more and more ferocious. It rushed towards Li Mo as if it didn’t care about its life, trying its best to bite her.
