The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 70: An Ordinary Expert! (Part 2)

Shanghai can be considered an international metropolis, so it is very normal for people of any race to appear here.

Therefore, Lauren's appearance did not arouse any suspicion, assuming that Chen Mo was an ordinary person. However, it was quite obvious that Chen Mo was not an ordinary person.

However, the other party was not very clear about Chen Mo's specific background, only knowing that he was a very skilled doctor. Tang Family did not provide any useful information about him in other aspects, only speculating that he was at the level of an ordinary person.

So when Lauren approached Chen Mo, she didn't pay much attention to it.

The moment Chen Mo saw Lauren, he immediately glanced at the mark on her head.

[Rank Six Elite Zombie]

[System Prompt: Warning! Warning! A Rank Six Elite Zombie has been detected in the alley. The host has a huge level difference with the opponent, and the surrounding environment is relatively closed. Once a frontal collision occurs, the host's death rate will reach 99%. Please escape immediately.]

"System, what the hell is an Elite Zombie?"

[System Prompt: Elite Zombies have stronger bodies than ordinary zombies. They are zombies that have undergone special evolution and are more difficult to kill than regular zombies.]

"I see, so do they have higher rewards than ordinary Rank Six?"

[System Prompt: Based on combat power estimation, the rewards can be settled according to killing Rank Seven monsters.]

"You're quite knowledgeable, not bad."

After receiving the system's answer, Chen Mo didn't pay much attention and pretended not to see Lauren, continuing to walk forward on his own.

Just as the two were about to pass by each other, Lauren suddenly made a motion towards Chen Mo that resembled an attack. Her right hand, like a straight stab, with a sharp middle finger, seemed to be ready to pierce Chen Mo's throat with one strike.

This speed was so fast that anyone observing nearby would think she was about to kill.

The system also thought so, and the system warning was almost shouting itself hoarse.

[System Prompt: Warning! Warning! The Rank Six Elite Zombie has already approached you and is launching an attack. Please escape quickly, please escape quickly!]

Unfortunately, there were no hidden people around, so no one saw her performance. Chen Mo was also a person with extremely keen perception. He didn't sense any killing intent from this strike, so he knew that the other party was just testing him.

Sure enough, although Lauren's attack seemed extremely fast, just as it was about to reach Chen Mo's throat, she suddenly changed her motion to pat his shoulder, and then spoke in broken Chinese, "Sorry, I want... to ask you for directions. The navigation... isn't showing, I don't know... if it's convenient."

As she spoke, her fingers were already tapping out Morse code on the walkie-talkie, trying to obtain relevant information from her captain.

She wanted to know if there were any abnormalities in the surroundings after her feigned attack just now.

Chen Mo listened to the other party's broken pronunciation and laughed, "Where do you want to go?"

"Just wait a moment, I want to... think for a moment, that... place... how should it be pronounced?"

As she spoke, Lauren immediately pretended to fumble with her phone and looked for the pronunciation of the place on her notepad.

In reality, she was just buying time.

At this moment, her captain had already received her Morse code inquiry.

"Have any of you noticed any abnormal movements in the surroundings?"

The captain had already dispersed the remaining people to the other three directions in order to check for any abnormalities.

After receiving reports from the three subordinates that there were indeed no abnormalities in the surroundings, he immediately replied to Lauren, "Lauren, if you had already made a move just now and it was enough to attract attention, then I believe there really are no defensive forces around. Because since you made your move until now, there have been no abnormalities in our surroundings."

"Really?" Lauren sent another Morse code message.

"Really, I can't sense any abnormality at all. Although I also find this situation strange, that such an important person like Chen Mo is not being protected by any of the Yellow Robe Society, Qing Society, or the military, it is indeed extremely bizarre. But the fact is that there have been no movements around us, or it can be said that the gesture you made just now was not enough for people to judge it as an intention to attack."

"It's impossible. I was just a hair's breadth away from directly piercing his throat and killing him. If there really were people secretly protecting him nearby, they wouldn't be able to hide it, unless those people protecting him are complete idiots." Lauren excitedly sent a long string of Morse code back, finding this situation incredibly unbelievable.

Although she had the opportunity to strike just now, they were here to make money, not to die with someone.

If there were powerful defense forces hiding in the dark around Chen Mo, she wouldn't dare to make a move to kill him, and she wouldn't be able to escape.

So even though she had the chance to strike just now, she continued to probe.

"Don't doubt it anymore, just go ahead and kill him. We'll finish the mission and be done with it."

Seeing the captain say this, Lauren also let go of her doubts.

One second she was flipping through the non-existent place name on her phone, and the next second, Chen Mo was looking at her phone. It seemed like a moment of Spirit Partitioning, and her right hand suddenly stabbed directly towards Chen Mo.

This time, she came with full intent to kill, and Chen Mo's perception was crystal clear.

He immediately smiled and directly grabbed her right hand. At the same time, he extended his right hand, and the blade on his ring immediately shot out a half-meter-long blade.

As the blade pierced through Lauren's right leg pocket, it directly damaged the walkie-talkie inside her pocket.

At the same time, Chen Mo immediately took out a Transcendent Level signal jammer from the system.

As soon as the Transcendent Level signal jammer was activated, the walkie-talkies of the other members of the Seagull Squad could no longer communicate with each other.

Lauren was completely bewildered by the captain's seamless actions. She never expected that an ordinary-looking person would have such incredible skills.

Just a moment ago, this guy was completely vulnerable and was still looking at his phone screen.

There was not a single defensive or defensive action from head to toe.

And she launched a sudden attack, but how did he react and accurately grab her right hand in such a short amount of time, with such incredible speed?

This lightning-fast reaction speed and action speed truly shocked Lauren, who had been licking blood on the edge of a knife for years.

She couldn't imagine how a young person still in school had acquired such skills.

What was even more surprising was that he accurately destroyed the walkie-talkie in her pocket, which indicated that he had already understood her identity and the fact that she had just been communicating.

This guy had been pretending all along.

Having experienced Chen Mo's astonishing speed and keen insight, Lauren wanted to quickly break free and escape, but she found that Chen Mo's left hand was as firm as a tiger's claw.

After he grabbed her right hand with his left hand, she had no chance to break free.

However, this guy is also a person who doesn't speak much.

Seeing that she couldn't defeat Chen Mo, she didn't even have the idea of continuing to attack and ambush him. She reached behind her with her left hand and suddenly pulled out a very sharp dagger, preparing to chop off her own right wrist.

Fortunately, Chen Mo reacted quickly. Just as he activated the Transcendent Level signal blocker, he immediately reached out his right hand and grabbed Lauren's left hand holding the knife, stopping her from trying to escape like a gecko by cutting off her own tail.

"A pretty girl like you, why would you be so cruel to yourself? The hand is an irreplaceable part of the body. If you cut it off, you won't have it anymore," Chen Mo said.

Listening to Chen Mo's words, Lauren's originally clumsy accent suddenly became extremely fluent. She looked at Chen Mo and said, "Since it has fallen into your hands, there's nothing more to say. What do you want?"

"Oh, how come you suddenly speak so fluently? What do I want? I don't want anything. I just want to extract some information from your mouth," Chen Mo said, looking at Lauren with a teasing expression.

At this moment, Lauren's mind was racing as she thought about how to escape.

But after thinking it through, the only possibility was for her captain and the other three to come and save her.

But the premise was that there were really no hidden forces protecting this guy. Otherwise, she would have no chance of escaping today, and her captain and the other three might have already abandoned her and fled after discovering the surrounding protective forces.

Just as countless thoughts were floating in her mind, she suddenly felt a pain in her right hand. It turned out that her right hand was being squeezed by the opponent's left hand.

The pain made her forehead break out in cold sweat.

"You finally came back to your senses. I'm talking to you, you can't think about other things," Chen Mo said.

"Who are you exactly? You're not a student at all. How could a student have such skills? Are you one of the legendary Dragon Group agents trained in secret by China?" Lauren asked.

At this point, the other party dared to ask her questions in return, which made Chen Mo laugh.

"Hmph, interesting. You dare to question me! The Tang family didn't find you guys for nothing. It seems like you have some guts. Tell me, where do you come from?"

"Whether you want to kill or torture me, it's up to you. It's impossible to get any information out of me!" Lauren said coldly.

"Is that so? Then let me try and see if it's really impossible," Chen Mo said.

Chen Mo exerted force with his left hand again. The right hand of Lauren, which was still being held by him, was crushed to the point where the bones were shattered.

After Chen Mo's strength reached its current level, combined with the amplification of the combat suit, his power was terrifying. Even human bones could be easily crushed.

Seeing her right hand being squeezed and deformed, with the bones crushed, Lauren was in intense pain and covered in cold sweat.

But she still stubbornly refused to say a word.

Unfortunately, it was useless for her to keep her mouth shut.

Chen Mo had already activated his mind-reading technique.

He inflicted pain on Lauren just to make her focus and not think about anything else. This way, when Chen Mo asked questions, the corresponding answers would easily come to her mind.

Otherwise, like just now, her thoughts were scattered, and it was tiring to read her mind.

Through the mind-reading technique, Chen Mo learned about the origin of these people.

"There are actually a total of 20 people who came. The five of you seem to be just appetizers."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's self-questioning and self-answering, Lauren looked directly at Chen Mo with a ghostly expression.

"Tell me, what is your purpose for coming to the Magic City from elsewhere?"

While Chen Mo asked the question, Lauren remained silent, but even if she stayed silent, Chen Mo still answered his own question.

"Oh? The Tang family is really ruthless, resorting to playing dirty tricks when their business tactics fail?"

Using mind-reading techniques, Chen Mo learned that these people came to help the Tang family secretly eliminate some troublesome individuals when the Tang family needed it.

The reason the Tang family didn't use the skilled Hong family from the Magic City was because they themselves knew that some things they did were too disgraceful to use their own people, so they had to find help from outside.

Even if something went wrong, they could quickly shift the blame, after all, the people were not brought by them directly, but were brought through contacts with the forces in the Imperial City, acting as intermediaries. So even if something really happened, they could quickly distance themselves from it.

By then, no matter how much they investigated, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to them.

Don't be fooled by the Tang family's gluttony, before indulging in food, the Tang family knew how to protect themselves.

Lauren became panicked when she realized that even if she didn't answer, the correct answer would immediately come out when the other party asked a question.

Because she couldn't figure out what was going on right now.

Why does the other party seem to have mastered mind-reading techniques?

Her gaze towards Chen Mo changed from initial doubt and vigilance to fear!

This person is too abnormal.

"Do you know about the various plans and arrangements of the Tang family?"

As Chen Mo asked this question, the only person who might know the relevant information was Lauren's captain.

He immediately lost interest in Lauren, as this woman's knowledge was still quite limited.

Since she no longer had any value to exploit, Chen Mo couldn't be bothered to waste words with her. He directly used Gravity Control to lighten Lauren's gravity and lifted her into the air, then activated gravity enhancement, causing Lauren to fall rapidly towards the ground.

During this process, Lauren's expression finally changed from fear to astonishment. She couldn't imagine what kind of situation she was experiencing right now.

Before she could figure it out, she was already flying in mid-air. At this moment, she could only shout "RUN" before plummeting rapidly towards the ground.

Chen Mo, who had already walked forward, didn't look back. He only heard a dull thud behind him as a heavy object landed, and his earpiece immediately followed with a prompt.

[System Prompt: The host has successfully killed a Rank Six elite zombie with Rank One strength. Due to the monster's combat power being comparable to Rank Seven, the host's actions are equivalent to single-handedly killing a Rank Seven formidable enemy. The host's courage and strength surpass imagination.

As a reward, the host receives 5000 survival points and an 'A-level gift package'.]

"Huh? There's an A-level gift package and 5000 points? It seems that as long as you surpass enough ranks, killing Rank Seven and Rank Nine is an incredible feat in the system's eyes. However, only Rank Nine has a chance to obtain an S-level reward."

[System Prompt: Congratulations on successfully completing Daily Mission (1) - Three-Star Difficulty Mission. By surpassing Rank Six in killing enemies, you have exceeded the requirements for the daily mission, and the rewards are doubled.

You have obtained 10,000 survival points and two Three-Star Transcendent Level daily gift packages.]
