Shadow In Your Mind [ARC 1- 5]

Chapter 173 - Look at me

XG 173 - Look at me

"Yes! Please let me talk to your leader!" Max bowed ninety degrees.

"There is no leader in our base, only united leaders and people working for the same goal," Scot Lang explained as he sidestepped to avoid the bow.

Max does not really care if there was really a leader or not. As long as that person could make decisions, it was the only thing that mattered!

As soon as Max met those in charge of this base, he quickly said whatever he could about the temple and did not forget to emphasize the shaman's useful ability. If they did not think the elderly shaman is useful, they would just ignore his request for help!

"Please help them!" Max kneeled down and bowed his head low until his forehead touched the hard floor.

"Raise your head and stand up. There is no need to do this."

"I know you won't believe what I say and I have no proof now. But I promise that whatever I just said is the truth!" Max firmly gazed at the man he believed to be the leader of the base, with how the elderly man that had told him to get up could not answer his plea.

This young man was the only one in this room without wearing a lab coat and have an intimidating aura. He had to be the boss above the scientists!

Although Max had lived at Musihada base for a short time, he does not know much about the people inside the buildings where the survivors that pitched their tents outside longed to step in. The guards were surprisingly quite tight-lipped on what they were not supposed to say even if they were quite a chatterbox.

One of the little things he found out was that one of the founders was a handsome man with a successful vibe, matched with a beautiful wife and lovely daughter. This man before him suits that description, even if he looked much younger than he expected for someone with a teenage daughter.

"Send him to a room. We will discuss further after we settle our main issue." Chin Chun was quite good at judging people, and this man before him was not lying, even if he tend to exaggerate a bit about the shaman's capability.

But until Chen Yibo reads his mind, he shall reserve some doubt on Max's words.

Wong Xue Guo had finished sweeping all the zombies with their hearts and was dealing with the slow-moving zombies with the sword borrowed from Chen Yibo.

He was much better and faster with a gun than she could ever be.

Her shadow did nothing to the slow-moving zombies and only hands-on violence could stop them. Like others, she has some slight difficulty in adjusting which part of the zombie to target.

As a female herself, Wong Xue Guo did not hesitate to choose the female zombie as her next target. She belatedly realized she was followed. "You should not follow me."

"I'm aware of the danger and I can cope with it. Please allow me to assist you," Gen Lang said.

Such politeness was never experienced by Wong Xue Guo before, especially a sincere and non-intrusive one. Those that were polite to her were either done for her parent's sake, wanted to get something from her, or did it for formality's sake.

Gen Lang's politeness belonged to a servant that had no complaints to serve a master. His behaviour was done as if it was something to be expected from a butler.

The Wong family does not live a luxurious life and only has a housekeeper to manage the house. They compensate for it by hiring over twenty bodyguards just to guard a mother, a daughter and occasionally absent father.
