Chapter 1065: Preparing for Battle

Gathered around the corpse on the ground, everyone exchanged glances.

“…From what he said, it seems that tonight, that so-called Boss will bring the Mother Spider here to find us, right?” Mu Chen was the first to speak.

“Mother Spider, huh…” Yuwen Xuan stroked his chin, showing a thoughtful expression. “Considering how troublesome the Male Spider already is… the Mother Spider must be even harder to deal with, right? And you must have noticed, this person repeatedly used ‘we’ when he spoke. This suggests that the Male Spider likely exists in plural, doesn’t it?”

Everyone simultaneously looked at Ling Mo, who was weighing the glass bottle in his hand and nodded, “Yes, Yuwen is right. From the reproduction rate and food consumption, just one Male Spider wouldn’t be enough. There are likely more people like Spider Man… So, calculating this, the spiders coming for us are at least several times what this person was raising. And since it involves the granary, the opponent will definitely fight to the death…”

With resources becoming increasingly difficult to gather, owning a granary equates to having the greatest survival guarantee. Moreover, considering the environment of Dawn Town, the greatest threat, the presence of zombies, no longer exists. Therefore, it’s easy to imagine how the opponent would think. And from Ling Mo’s perspective… even without considering the granary, they couldn’t just let these people go. Because the opponent not only killed Zhang She but also wanted to wipe them out completely. So, although their positions differ, their goals are actually the same. That is…

“Kill the opponent! That’s what they think, and we think the same.” Ling Mo continued, “Of course, looking at the current situation, we are in the open, they are in the dark, we are at a disadvantage. But thinking carefully, this person didn’t have time to report his new findings before he died. Which means, that so-called Boss’s understanding of us remains superficial. Yet, we have already gathered a lot of intelligence about them from his subordinates.”

“So… does that mean the advantages and disadvantages balance out?” Xu Shuhan stood up and asked.

Yuwen Xuan thought for a moment, then sneered, “That’s just perfect. Let’s have a good fight under such fair and equal conditions!”

Ye Kai also grunted, stroking the blade, “Aren’t they just spiders? Treat them like zombies or mutation beasts, right? Anyway, as long as we kill them all and survive, that’s all that matters!”

Everyone exchanged a glance and silently nodded.

A few seconds later, Black Silk suddenly squeezed out from beside Ling Mo, staring at the corpse, “Um… are you guys done talking? Then I’ll go handle him first, leaving him here isn’t good…”

“Smack!”

Ling Mo pressed down on its little head, saying, “Stay put…”

“Tsk…”

“Tsk what…”

At this moment, there was still some time before midnight…

To prepare for a possible sudden attack, Ling Mo and his group strengthened their defenses.

One group, led by Ye Kai, was the combat team, while another, like Zhang Xincheng’s, was the observation team.

The rest formed the core combat force gathered together…

Though the grouping was simple, it was sufficiently robust. Moreover, on the outermost layer, there was a mutation panda secretly lurking.

In a slightly tense atmosphere, everyone silently prepared.

The main battlefield was set in the factory, which had enough space and could avoid being blocked.

According to Ye Kai, Zhang She died here, so he wanted this group to be buried here.

“Hey…”

On the factory’s roof, Yuwen Xuan landed lightly and walked towards Ling Mo, who was sitting at the highest point, “What are you doing here?”…

“Where are they?” Ling Mo asked without turning his head, looking at the dark Dawn Town ahead.

Yuwen Xuan sat down beside him and replied, “They’re adjusting their states or checking their weapons. Speaking of which, this team has quite high combat quality. After all, everyone used to be ordinary people.” 𝔯àℕő𐌱Ê𝘴

He took out a cigarette, lit it in his mouth, and asked Ling Mo, “Want one?”

“No… smoking here, be careful not to become a target.” Ling Mo glanced at him and said.

“You think you’re not a target…” Yuwen Xuan said, then suddenly changed the topic, “After this, I might not return to the Base for a while. Anyway, with you as the Boss, even if you don’t like managing things, there’s still Zhang Yu, right? Besides, I think Mu Chen is pretty good. Oh, and Lucy from the F Team can help you a lot, right? As for Falcon’s side, I think Su Qianrou…”

“Wait… where are you going?” Ling Mo interrupted him, somewhat surprised.

“Well… how should I put it, I actually can’t bear to leave Yalin, afraid she’ll be bullied by you…” Yuwen Xuan took a deep breath and said.

“Stop lying, she’s the one who abuses me…” Ling Mo muttered.

“I was thinking about holding a wedding for you guys, but you came to handle this before I was ready.” Yuwen Xuan continued as if he hadn’t heard.

“A wedding… wait, you mean you’ve already been preparing! Why haven’t I heard anything about this before?”

Yuwen Xuan suddenly smiled, looking ahead, “So I thought… why not wait until I find her, then we can have a group wedding? Me and her, you and Yalin, our siblings starting families at the same time… Even in the Apocalypse, such a scene seems quite blissful, right? Oh, I know what you’re thinking, so I’ve already had ten wedding dresses found…”

“How did you come up with the number ten… never mind, let’s not talk about this, who is ‘her’…” Ling Mo asked.

“Fiancée, I guess… although I might not have loved her before, since then…” He took another deep breath, then continued, “Actually, this kind of realization after losing something should be criticized as hypocritical, right? Ahahaha… I don’t care how others see it, but what I can’t get past is myself. Is she still alive? If she is, what would she be like? What should I do when I find her? Thinking about it, following you guys out was actually to solidify my own thoughts…”

Ling Mo listened, momentarily speechless… Although Yuwen Xuan was usually crazy and his words often made people frustrated, hearing him speak so seriously, filled with self-mockery and regret, Ling Mo didn’t know what to say.

He thought for a while before asking, “What made you decide?”

“Nothing specific… if I had to say, maybe it was during your three-day coma. Seeing Yalin and the others taking care of you, I suddenly understood. Before, she also took care of me like that… For socializing, I often drank excessively. But every time I woke up, I was still lying in bed properly. Unfortunately, I didn’t cherish so many details…” Yuwen Xuan laughed again, but this time, the laughter was less crazy and more bitter.

“So this time, I should be the one taking care of her. Just like you take care of them when you’re awake. Saying you’re being bullied… aren’t you actually quite willing? As long as they’re happy, you’d cooperate, right?” Yuwen Xuan turned to ask, “Ling Mo, I don’t know what will happen after this, whether I find her or not, I can’t see the future. But what about you? Have you thought about the future?”

Ling Mo was silent for a while before saying, “At this point, what’s the point of talking about the future… living well every day is already quite exhausting, right?”

Yuwen Xuan looked at him for a couple of seconds before slowly withdrawing his gaze amidst the swirling smoke.

“Is that so? You’re right… If I find her, I would also use all my strength to live with her…”
