Shadow In Your Mind [ARC 1- 5]

Chapter 109 - Pretend to be dead bodies

A/N: I will be taking a study break, so the updates will be affected. Until my exams done, the updates will be once a week (usually Monday). I will post the owed chapters after my exams are done, and before April ends!

XG 109 - Pretend to be dead bodies

"What are the plans now? Please say we have a plan?" Among them, Ash was the most fearful of the turn of events, because he was the weakest in combat power. He had joined today's outing just to help out with carrying stuff, mostly, but why would it suddenly turn into territorial war?

"Ask Brother Xunsu," Wong Xue Guo said uncaringly.

Ash gazed sadly at Wong Xue Guo, as he had hoped she would say something because Kang Xunsu always listened to her. But she ignored him in favour of the message she just received. Smiling cutely, she relayed what she read.

"My father says Sister Lan Yan will be coming over with Brother Hong Yan to help us." That was the most modest translation she could say. Her father had said it was enough with only sending the siblings because no human would be difficult for them to beat up into submission.

"... It will take a long time for them to arrive, right?"

"Umm. They are coming straight from the lab."

Ash covered his chest with his palms. "Ugh, I miss muscles."

"You mean Brother Xunsu's muscles? He makes you feel safe with them, right? Let me tell you, Beom Seok has nicer muscles than him." With a saintly smile, Wong Xue Guo sent Ash's attention to Beom Seok.

"How do you know that?" Kang Xunsu asked suspiciously.

"I saw you guys compete who among yourselves had more impressive muscles." She had never thought men would be so silly and boring. It was like women comparing among themselves on who had bigger boobs.

When she saw Chen Yibo was staring at the naked torsos rather avidly, she had warned him not to follow their retarded behaviour.

Beom Seok turned his head away to look out of the window, acting dedicated to his guard duty to hide his embarrassment of having a young lady see his childish antics.

"Sister Xue Guo..." Kim Sung-Ho called out softly. After getting her attention, he asked, "Are we really going to bomb the place? Then kill everyone inside?"

"... Who told that?" The flabbergasted Wong Xue Guo asked.

Turns out, it was the smiling Kwangsu that told Kim Sung-Ho what could possibly be the plan.

"While one of the brutal ways to reduce new zombies was to kill humans, we could also create more soldiers with humans. That cult guy might be the only one we need to eliminate, including his hardcore followers if they refuse to 'reform' themselves," Beom Seok said.

Wong Xue Guo stared at the public hall with lifeless eyes and then turned to Kang Xunsu. "We are only here to get supplies, and spy on what the cult guy is doing for Jihyo. Why do we take on such difficult tasks now with no necessary preparation done? Just because those idiots have the urge to suicide does not mean we need to follow them."

Kang Xunsu stretched his neck, easing the tight spot. "Your father isn't coming?"

"He isn't coming." Resting her head on the window, her thick braid hit the window with a small thud. "Our strength isn't enough to go against a group of survivors, much less an ability user, or knowing if there is really only one ability user. We do not know how many people there are, and what their strengths are. It's too risky."

"Agreed," L.L. spoke up. "But if we want the next golden opportunity, it will be seven days later."

L.L.'s hint was caught by Wong Xue Guo, who then pursed her lips in annoyance. Next week would be the time for a trial experiment and everyone would be called back to protect the base.
