Chapter 503 – You reap what you sow
Editor: Zephyr04 Translator: Jhung
The average-looking Hei Maoer[1] was actually a very ambitious woman.
Although she guaranteed a relatively stable life after joining FIRE for herself, she wasn’t satisfied.
Compared with the other two powers, their lives were just slightly better than ordinary people’s.
But with her strength, even if she rushed to join the Falcon Camp or Air Force regiment, she might not get much attention.
Those two forces mainly relied on military weapons and armies, while the psychics were a special force and not the main one.
Therefore, instead of becoming an ordinary psychic in the two major forces, she decided to find a way to become a significant person in the F group.
Hei Maoer tried winning over people, especially the men…
But… as long as Lucy was there, she was never the focus.
“What’s so good about that woman? Other than looking good, she’s completely useless!”
She wears that cold expression all day long on her face while carrying a machine gun. She also puts on an appearance that tells everyone to keep their distance, yet so many people like her!
Hei Maoer didn’t hate the people that thought Lucy was the prettiest in the group, but she hated Lucy very much.
Even when Lucy offered to explore the route this time and find the missing members, she regarded this as grandstanding.
“Are you afraid people won’t know that you’re righteous?! You fake bitch!…”
So when Zhen Zhi Yuan found her, the two hit it off.
Whether it was to satisfy her desires of pursuing a better life, or get rid of Lucy, their mission this time was a golden opportunity for her…
How powerful would a spiritual psychic still be after entering a domain? It’s equivalent to having their fangs pulled out.
But reality smashed Hei Maoer with a heavy blow. Not only did this man continue to fight back, but he also abused her with a very sinister and cunning way of fighting!
Compared to him, Shana was more direct and swift!
But if Hei Maoer could choose, she would rather go head-to-head with Shana than try to fight Ling Mo again. She didn’t want to feel powerless to the point of almost vomiting.
In addition to being a very jealous person, Hei Maoer was also very vicious.
She had just completely been overpowered by Shana’s attacks a few moments ago, but from the moment she was thrown near Ling Mo’s feet, she had already moved her hands into her arms.
If Ling Mo had been alone, she might have tried using her beauty against him, but with the girl next to him, she would be making a fool of herself.
So… it was better to fight!
But she never expected that Ling Mo’s observations were so meticulous.
She was already partially crippled after being beaten, and he still hasn’t dropped his guard!
“I originally wanted to ask you a few questions, but I ended up gaining something else. It’s quite unexpected…”
Ling Mo stared at the bottle carefully for a while. Although the environment here was dim, with the help of Shana’s vision, he was able to see clearly.
It was a translucent brown plastic bottle with a tightly screwed cap and no label on the outside.
The bottle was half-filled with a semi-solidified liquid. After shaking it, Ling Mo could tell that it was clear and didn’t contain any impurities. As for why it had solidified, he wasn’t sure.
Ling Mo unscrewed the cap and opened it, and suddenly revealed a hint of surprise.
There was a faint smell of the virus inside this liquid.
Compared to zombie blood, the amount of virus inside was pretty small and may even be less than the sweet zombie saliva he sucked on in the past…
But in addition to the virus, the liquid should also contain other things.
Looking at Hei Maoer’s movements just now, she was probably planning to crush the bottle.
In other words, it would work as long as it’s mixed with blood.
Ling Mo suddenly became interested. He looked down at Hei Maoer and asked, “What’s this?”
Hei Maoer’s eyes glinted as she stared at Ling Mo. She realized at this moment that although this seemingly ordinary young man seemed relaxed, he was always on guard against her.
No matter what little movement she made, it was impossible to escape from his eyes.
“Fuck!”
After cursing in her heart, Hei Maoer asked, “If I tell you, will you spare me?”
Ling Mo’s eyes narrowed immediately, and a smile appeared on his face.
No matter what the bottle of liquid was, based on Hei Maoer’s actions just now, she had wanted to kill them!
They had no grudges with each other, yet the other party put in so much effort to kill them, just for the sake of profit…
Seeing Ling Mo’s expression, Hei Maoer started to panic deep down. However, the expression on her face became even more hideous.
“If you’re thinking about torturing me for the answer, I advise you to give up. Your companions might get killed if you waste too much time here.” As she said this, she maliciously glanced sideways at Shana and said, “Although she’s able to break through the illusion and run over, can your other companions do the same? We’re more familiar with this place than you guys.”
“Oh… it seems that you’re not the only attacker.”
Ling Mo nodded thoughtfully.
“This person didn’t get the point at all!”
Hei Maoer suddenly widened her eyes and said, “Don’t you understand? Your companions… Are you not worried about them at all?”
“This ability…” Ling Mo raised his head and looked around, then smiled, “To be honest, it’s pretty powerful. It’s clear that you need to use spiritual power to break it, but the moment spiritual power is released, it gets absorbed by this spiritual world instead, making this place even more unbreakable.”
“It’s good that you noticed. You better not treat me like a prisoner then…”
Hei Maoer smirked. As long as he was afraid, she would have the basis to threaten him…
But before she could speak, Ling Mo had already changed the topic, “Unfortunately, this spiritual world is just a failure.”
With that said, Ling Mo sent out with a tentacle. This spiritual power instantly dissipated in the spiritual world, and then a photo suddenly appeared on the wall.
It was an old-fashioned photo of an ordinary couple with two children, a boy, and a girl.
This photo would’ve never attracted anyone’s attention anywhere, but Ling Mo’s eyes suddenly softened.
But upon seeing this, Hei Maoer sneered inside her heart.
“Who hasn’t lost something because of the apocalypse?”
“This man was just so-so. She thought that as a spiritual psychic, there would be something else in Ling Mo’s subconscious…”
“How is absorbing your spiritual power a failure? What can you do besides strengthening this spiritual world?” Hei Maoer couldn’t help laughing.
The more she pointed out Ling Mo’s flaws, the better chances she had of surviving. She would only have a chance to survive when Ling Mo realizes he doesn’t have the upper hand.
At least, this is what Hei Maoer thought.
After a while, Ling Mo looked down at Hei Maoer and said, “Indeed, the subconsciousness of an ordinary person isn’t very dangerous.”
Suddenly, he winked at Hei Maoer and said casually, “But unfortunately, I’m the only ordinary person here…”
“What do you mean…”
As soon as Hei Maoer opened her mouth, she suddenly felt a chill on her back and viciously stared up at Shana in shock.
She didn’t expect that the other party was even more ruthless than her and didn’t care about what she said right from the beginning…
As she started to lose consciousness, Hei Maoer heard Ling Mo’s last words to her, “You reap what you sow.”
“I thought you really wanted to ask her something…” Shana said as she raised her head and looked at Ling Mo.
“Well, I can also ask Lucy.” Ling Mo shook the bottle and stuffed it into his arms.
He had a vague feeling that the contents of this bottle were probably related to the mysterious reward that Lucy had mentioned.
“So, she wanted to use this to threaten you… Humans really are strange creatures.” Shana said and glanced at the corpse near her feet.
Ling Mo shook his head and said, “This is just one aspect. She also knew that I wouldn’t spare her because of this, so she threatened me with Ye Lian’s safety.
“Then are you worried about Sister Ye Lian and the others?” Shana asked curiously.
“Hehe…”
Ling Mo grinned evilly. This expression fell in Shana’s eyes, and she immediately understood.
“They should be more worried about themselves.”
Ling Mo glanced around and said.
Just like he said before, this place was a cage. But Ling Mo and the others weren’t the only ones that were trapped…
