The middle-aged man took the two of them straight through the hall. In a crowded place like this, the two of them were not very conspicuous. Although there were some people looking at them along the way, it was just a few glances. Mu Chen secretly rejoiced that they didn't run into those crazy women everywhere, or else they would really have a hard time moving forward.
"This way."
After turning into a corridor, the surroundings suddenly became a lot quieter.
This was obviously an office area. Many doors were only half closed. Through the gap of the door, you could vaguely see the tables, chairs, and figures.
The middle-aged man didn't stop walking and kept walking.
Ling Mo turned his head to the other side of the corridor. From here, he could see the other buildings through the glass window. These buildings were relatively independent, but they were connected by the long corridor. Just as he glanced around, he found a hidden firing point. After careful observation, he found a total of five.
"There is one in each building, interwoven into a network of fire. I'm afraid there is not even a blind spot. It is indeed very tight." Ling Mo thought while remembering the location of these firing points.
"There are corpses patrolling the perimeter, and the inside is heavily guarded. If I want to bring the zombie puppets in from the outside, it is indeed very difficult …"
While Ling Mo was thinking, the middle-aged man stopped in front of a door. After knocking on the door, he pushed it open.
"Leader Li, there are two people today. They claim to be from the Dongming branch. I took them to do a registration form first, here …"
The middle-aged man said a few words inside, then turned around and shouted, "You guys can come in."
Personnel leader's office … Ling Mo stared at the sign posted on the door with a strange expression.
This was really taking care of every aspect …
The facilities here were directly transferred to the Medical University. After some cleaning, it was quite a bit like a big company.
However, the blood on the wall was very difficult to deal with. Although it was sanded, it could still be vaguely seen.
Behind the only desk in the room sat a fat man about 40 years old. At this time, he was looking at the two registration forms handed in by the middle-aged man.
When he heard Ling Mo and Mu Chen coming in, he just looked up and simply said, "Sit." Then he continued to look down.
Gosh, he's someone who doesn't like to smile …
Mu Chen's expression turned bitter, and he immediately became a little worried.
This kind of person was usually very serious in his work. However, being serious was not a big deal. If he was the inflexible type, it would not be so easy to fool him today.
I need to reorganize my thoughts and words …
Ling Mo sat on the sofa with a relaxed expression, then casually sized up Team Leader Li.
"Eh?"
This made Ling Mo a little surprised. This person … doesn't seem to be a psychic …
Whether he was an enhancer or not could be ruled out just by looking at his physique. With his body full of fat, unless he specialized in enhancing his beer belly …
As for the psychic ability … Although his eyes looked sharper than the average person's, they were far from being comparable to a psychic ability user.
Ling Mo released a tentacle without batting an eyelid. Although he didn't probe them directly, he could roughly observe everyone's mental fluctuations in this small enclosed space.
Sure enough, he's not a psychic …
"He's definitely not an elemental type either. This person's physique looks weaker than the average person's. Even zombies can run faster than him when they crawl. Any type is useless … Considering that his physique must have changed when he survived the cataclysm, then he most likely became like this after he arrived at the Nirvana Headquarters. Based on his fat, he's most likely an old member … "
"I didn't expect that there would be an ordinary person in management, but it makes sense. A powerful psychic might not necessarily understand human resources management." Ling Mo thought in his heart.
The middle-aged man also found a place to sit down. He obviously wanted to wait until Ling Mo and Mu Chen's identities were confirmed before he could leave.
Team Leader Li silently looked through it once again. Suddenly, he leaned back and reached out to open a drawer.
Seeing his action, Mu Chen and Ling Mo immediately exchanged glances.
There was indeed a save file!
In fact, Mu Chen wasn't clear about the communication between the Dongming branch and the headquarters. Therefore, he didn't know how often the save file would be handed over. If he asked later, he could only insist that Ling Mo had just joined …
Every movement of Team Leader Li was slow, and the people staring at him felt tired for him. But when he flipped through the file, his speed wasn't slow at all.
This was his personal proficiency in his profession. It wasn't something that could be replaced by any psychic ability.
"Ahem …" Team Leader Li stopped when he flipped to a certain page. After clearing his throat, he raised his head and looked at Ling Mo and Ling Mo.
"Level Five member Mu Chen, Dongming branch management member, Ling Ge, no record."
He said with an expressionless face.
"F * ck!"
Mu Chen was instantly stunned. It hadn't even been five minutes, and he had already finished reading it?!
Glancing at the densely packed names from afar, Mu Chen felt as if his eyes were going blurry. This person was reading too fast!
But he wasn't surprised by Team Leader Li's speed, but … he hadn't thought it through yet!
The middle-aged man immediately looked at Ling Mo, and Ling Mo turned his head to look at Mu Chen.
Since Team Leader Li confirmed Mu Chen's identity as a management member, of course, he had to explain it …
The corner of Mu Chen's eye twitched. He slowly turned his eyes to look at Ling Mo.
"My words don't carry much weight," Ling Mo said quietly.
"… You're crazy!" Mu Chen moved his lips and cursed silently. Then, he looked at Team Leader Li and braced himself to say, "Ling Ge just joined a while ago …"
"Then we can just ask Mr. Ai to report it … But you guys came all the way here to join the headquarters, right?" When Team Leader Li said this, his thick lips finally trembled. He gave an ugly smile. "You can't enter the headquarters like this. Every time the file is updated, the higher-ups will naturally filter it out. Every new batch of members will be picked up by someone from each branch and brought over. Although no one from Dongming has met the requirements for more than half a year, we can't be so reckless … "
His words were considered polite, but when translated, it could only be said: Even if you guys forcefully come to our door, we still won't accept you …
Ling Mo didn't feel anything, but Mu Chen felt his face heat up.
Just how much of a failure did he have to be to not be chosen? He clearly felt good when he was in the branch, but he didn't expect to always be in a state of elimination in the headquarters!
But when he looked at Ling Mo, Mu Chen felt relieved.
His little bit of ability was indeed not enough in front of Ling Mo.
The two members from the headquarters that he met before were also not a match for Ling Mo.
However, this was the headquarters, after all. Even Ling Mo had to be careful …
Maybe there would be people with psychics stronger than Ling Mo …
Mu Chen quickly collected his thoughts. He pondered for a moment and then revealed a trace of pain.
Seeing Mu Chen suddenly reveal such an expression, the middle-aged man and Team Leader Li were both stunned.
Although it looked like a stomachache, at a time like this … it wouldn't hurt his pride, right?
The two of them didn't think about it in a more serious way, so when Mu Chen said the opening words that he had been preparing for a long time, the two of them were instantly petrified.
"Dongming … Dongming … is gone …"
As he said that, Mu Chen shook his head and then buried his face in his palms. "All … all dead …"
Ling Mo, who was sitting to the side, was stunned for a moment. It took him a full two seconds to react.
Damn … this idiot could actually act so well!
But at that moment, Mu Chen raised his head slightly. Using his palms as a cover, he stared at Ling Mo with disdain and continued to shake his head. "All dead … all dead …"
The murderer was this person!
Just as he finished mouthing the words, he saw Ling Mo's expression instantly darken.
This idiot was hopeless …
He was so nervous on the way here, but now that he was immersed in acting, he actually started playing …
Seeing Ling Mo's expression change, Mu Chen hurriedly continued to cover his face. A low and strange sound seeped out from between his fingers. At first, it sounded like heavy breathing, as if Mu Chen was trying hard to calm himself down.
Group Leader Li was in a daze for over ten seconds before he abruptly stood up. His stomach even knocked against the edge of the table, and all the fat on his body shook. He slammed his palm heavily onto the file. "What did you say?!"
Although Mu Chen's acting was full of emotion, and he used the excuse of losing control of his emotions to narrate the whole thing in the simplest language, Team Leader Li still found it hard to imagine.
The Dongming branch was gone? Everyone was dead?
How could this be f * cking possible!
"Speak clearly!"
Team Leader Li's expression changed drastically. He almost pounced on Mu Chen and grabbed his collar to interrogate him, but seeing Mu Chen's expression, he could only forcefully suppress the shock in his heart and ask, "Calm down, explain things clearly."
At this moment, the middle-aged man also came back to his senses. He widened his eyes and looked at Mu Chen in disbelief. Then, he turned his gaze to Ling Mo.
Don't look at me … Ling Mo hurriedly averted his gaze. He had just joined, so there was no need for him to act like Mu Chen. He might as well pretend to look around at the scenery …
Mu Chen took a full minute of "deep breaths" before he slowly raised his head, revealing a flushed face.
Seeing Mu Chen's blood-boiling appearance, Team Leader Li and the middle-aged man's body went limp at the same time.
From the looks of it, it was most likely true …
Only Ling Mo and Mu Chen knew that this wasn't grief or anger. It was clearly something he was holding back …
Team Leader Li hesitated for a moment before saying, "You … speak slowly."
"This matter … is a long story." Mu Chen's words came from the bottom of his heart. If he really had to talk about it, he would have to start from how they targeted Ling Mo and how they courted death …
However, what Mu Chen pulled out was naturally a set of words that he had already prepared. These words were mixed with truth. Although they were far from the truth, he could basically bluff them. There were some details that he couldn't make up, so he might as well say that he wasn't clear. That way, no one would suspect anything.
A person's vision was limited, and there was only so much he could see. If he could tell the whole story in detail, it would instead arouse suspicion.
