Chapter 764 – So Arrogant Even While Running Away

When Iron Rod Man shouted this, everyone below was suddenly enlightened… come to think of it, it really does look like that!

Ling Mo, hovering in mid-air, paused momentarily, and a hint of an unnatural expression flashed across his face.

After all, this was an effect he achieved by materializing his psychic tentacle. Why did it seem so trivial in the eyes of these unappreciative people?

“I clearly am not wearing any suspenders or overalls, nor do I have a chubby figure, and I certainly didn’t grow big by eating mushrooms…”

In fact, Ling Mo had used this method quite a few times before, but primarily as an auxiliary measure. This technique typically consumed a large amount of mental energy, and it also required very specific terrain conditions.

After using it once or twice, it might catch people off guard, but use it too often and people will eventually figure out the principle behind it.

In another place, Ling Mo wouldn’t have so many reservations, but this was the Niepan headquarters!

The crowd of superhumans down there, were they just for show?

So many Experimental Subjects had been let in, fighting against dozens of people in this small, dimly lit area for half a day, yet nobody got injured. This alone already said a lot.

Ling Mo wasn’t so arrogant as to think he could take on everyone single-handedly. Sheer numbers alone could wear him down!

If they were scattered, he might still have a chance of picking them off one by one, but now they were all clustered together…

These superhumans hadn’t reacted yet, and Ling Mo intended to seize this opportunity.

Showing this trick was all about intimidating the crowd and creating an opening!

“You’d better settle down!” Iron Rod Man, following behind in a hurry, shouted aggressively.

In the midst of his distraction, he suddenly felt a mass of Dark Shadow fall from the sky and “splat” onto his face.

Some of the Dark Shadow even fell into his open mouth, nearly causing him to fall off the Barbed Wire.

“I… Damn it! This is mud from his shoe!”

While Iron Rod Man was spitting furiously, sunglasses man was glaring coldly at Ling Mo in the air.

His companions had mingled into the crowd, with one staying close by his side.

At this moment, only a few seconds had passed since Ling Mo’s eye-catching leap.

In such a short amount of time, combined with Ling Mo’s eerie agility and the zombies going berserk below, most of the members still felt utterly bewildered.

Even the team leader of the Experimental Group, standing at the car door, was completely stunned. Although he wasn’t aware of the “lure the snake out of its hole” plan, he reacted immediately when the unexpected incident occurred. He initially thought an exciting hunt was about to commence, with everyone chasing and surrounding their target, leading to an undoubtedly bloody conclusion. But who could have expected that Ling Mo would jump over the wall so quickly?

And what a showy leap it was!

Especially the phrase “If you have the guts, come after me,” which, in the suddenly quiet open space, was heard by almost everyone clearly.

This wasn’t just a slap in the face; it was like throwing a harsh uppercut right at these senior management.

Sunglasses man looked particularly unsightly, as if he’d been punched in the nose. Seeing Ling Mo completely up on high ground, he snorted coldly and suddenly raised his hand.

“Do you really think you can escape?”

He smirked and whispered a few words to the person beside him.

That person nodded and then loudly shouted, “Listen up! This guy is a mental ability user! Don’t worry about what kind of superpowers he’s using. Those with psychic attacks, bring him down from up there!”

His shout caused another stir among the crowd.

“No way, a mental ability user?”

“I thought he had enhancement abilities!”

“Mental abilities can be used like this?”

Amid the discussions, several mental ability superhumans stood up, their eyes gleaming with excitement as they stared at Ling Mo.

“He has psychic fluctuations!”

“Hit him directly!”

Sunglasses man raised his arm, smiling as he looked at Ling Mo.

Indeed, this person’s thoughts were very sharp. Although he didn’t fully understand how Ling Mo managed to achieve this, he immediately came up with the most targeted response.

As for how impressive Ling Mo’s ability was, he didn’t care at all.

The ugly expression on his face was because Ling Mo had seized control of the situation through this shocking method.

Ling Mo in the air acted as if he didn’t hear a thing. With two swift steps, he had already leapt over the Barbed Wire.

But if he were to be struck down, even landing on the other side would mean certain death.

Iron Rod Man, undeterred, continued to climb upwards, waiting for a chance to pounce and exact his revenge for the mud incident…

“What do we do now?” Lan Lan asked nervously.

Mu Chen, gripping his knife handle tightly, had a pensive look on his face.

Just moments ago, he was gearing up to rush out recklessly, but Ling Mo suddenly used such an audacious method to escape.

Even though there was another crisis now, who could be sure Ling Mo didn’t have another trick up his sleeve?

Watching Ling Mo in the air, Mu Chen felt it best not to act rashly.

Ling Mo had gone to great lengths to get Lan Lan and Old Lan out.

And this guy… he was never one to suffer losses lightly…

“What else can we do? Just wait and see.” Mu Chen thought for a moment and then said with a complicated expression.

Lan Lan gave him a surprised look before scornfully saying, “If you’re too scared to go out, just admit it. No need to pretend to be all righteous…”

“Who’s pretending?” Mu Chen retorted angrily.

Seeing Lan Lan roll her eyes and turn her head away, Mu Chen felt a pang of frustration.

Was he really scared? No, it was because Ling Mo had often tricked him!

But Lan Lan definitely wouldn’t listen to his explanation. Mu Chen redirected his attention back to Ling Mo.

Ling Mo, having leapt to a higher point, paused momentarily. He turned his head, but his gaze didn’t fall on the mental ability superhumans. Instead, he locked eyes directly on sunglasses man.

During his upward jump, Ling Mo had been “reminiscing” about the spiritual energy of this man.

This person seemed to be a mental ability superhuman as well, but his tracking method was quite unique. However, this wasn’t the main point. The real reason Ling Mo paid him special attention was that his mental energy felt vaguely familiar…

This feeling was not very clear, but it was peculiar. Each person’s mental energy is unique and has very distinctive personal characteristics.

An ordinary mental ability superhuman might not be able to discern it, but Ling Mo, with his Devour ability, was very sensitive to such things.

It’s like comparing a dish perceived by sight to one tasted; Ling Mo received a more nuanced understanding through his unique ability.

But this guy in front of him… it was clearly their first encounter.

Wearing sunglasses at night-this image would be unforgettable once seen!

“Why does he feel familiar…”

Ling Mo furrowed his brows, quickly searching his mind. But then he heard sunglasses man chuckle twice, and the man standing next to him spoke up again, “If you surrender now, it’s still not too late. Otherwise, if we make a move, I guarantee you will die a terrible death!”

This was no idle threat. Several Machine Guns were already aimed at Ling Mo, and below, several mental ability superhumans were poised to strike.

Even if they couldn’t actually bring Ling Mo down, as long as they could cause him to pause for even a moment, the next second he would be riddled with bullets.

Their threats and bluster were obviously a ploy to capture him alive.

Ling Mo glanced among the crowd, quickly spotting sunglasses man’s companions.

Once these people mixed into the crowd, they swiftly dispersed, not focusing on Ling Mo but rather on the surrounding Niepan members.

Ling Mo’s thoughts raced, and he quickly understood their intentions, finding it somewhat amusing.

Apparently, they believed that tonight’s events couldn’t have been orchestrated by Ling Mo alone, and now they were waiting for his accomplices to reveal themselves.

To them, Ling Mo’s brazen actions were likely a distraction to draw all attention, thereby covering for his companions’ escape.

“Too bad that while I do have companions, it’s not like you think…” Ling Mo thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Team Leader Li, clutching his head, came to his senses and whispered to sunglasses man, “That guy is Ling Ge, but I haven’t seen Mu Chen.”

“Ling Ge, huh…” sunglasses man repeated with a cold smile, “Do you intend to sacrifice yourself for the greater good? Or are you planning to fight to the death and abandon your companions to escape on your own? But as I said, you won’t escape!”

This was the third time sunglasses man had spoken loudly, and while Ling Mo listened to his tone, he couldn’t shake off a strange feeling.

Normal people don’t usually speak while deliberately suppressing their voice…

As that sense of familiarity grew clearer in Ling Mo’s mind, he narrowed his eyes slightly, coming to a vague conclusion.

“Which eye of yours saw me trying to escape? Am I that kind of person?” Ling Mo shook his head, looking extremely exasperated.

If his intention was to run away, his speed wouldn’t be this slow!

Sunglasses man was momentarily stunned. His expression suddenly changed dramatically: “Get him!”

No sooner had he spoken, the mental ability superhumans all seemed to falter momentarily; simultaneously, Ling Mo followed through with a leap outward.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t running?!”

Iron Rod Man had just halted his advance, not expecting that behind Ling Mo’s righteous words lay such an intent.

Using a trick as basic as fooling children at such a critical life-or-death moment, and most people even fell for it!

Who could have imagined that even when pushed to such an extreme, Ling Mo would still think of such a tactic!

Sunglasses man’s face turned ashen. He hadn’t expected Ling Mo to actually try escaping alone… what a blunder!

“Damn it, Ling Mo, you schemer!” Mu Chen instantly lost his composure, but after cursing, he remained squatting in place, unmoving.

“Now is it time for you to save yourself?” Old Lan asked, struggling to support himself.

Mu Chen shot him a dark look, then glanced at Lan Lan. Finally, he bit his lip and said, “Let’s wait a bit longer.”

“So, you do trust him…” Lan Lan said with a teasing blink of her eyes.

“Cut the crap,” Mu Chen responded with a dejected tone.
