Chapter 22: The Hunt Begins

  However, with fewer people, their progress speed has indeed undergone a qualitative leap.

  They dont need to be taken care of intentionally, they will naturally learn from Wang Cheng and follow Xiana and Liu Yuhao closely. In this way, not only is the speed increased, but the safety factor is also greatly improved, until the buildings in Sanzhong are seen, there have been no casualties again.

  "Right ahead is the Third Middle School." Xiana chopped down a zombie in front of her and turned to say to everyone. Although they had been through many things today, at this moment she finally arrived here, her expression also looked somewhat excited.

  But Ling Mo slightly furrowed his brow, and from Ye Lians transmitted intense desire to fight, it wasnt hard to guess that this school indeed had mutated zombies as he had expected, and there might not be just one or two of them.

  Its easy to imagine how difficult it is to survive in this environment. Im afraid Shana and the others will have made a wasted trip.

  However, what made Ling Mo somewhat unexpected was that the entrance was not crowded with zombies as he had thought, but rather empty. Except for a few zombies that were obviously wandering from elsewhere, there was no threat at all.

  Jing Lingmu showed a puzzled expression, and Liu Yuhao whispered beside him: "When the disaster first broke out, many people fled... but we stayed behind until that chaos passed, and then some of us went out to find a foothold. There are quite a few zombies in the school, but with caution, its still okay."

  As soon as he said that, Ling Mo immediately showed a look of understanding. Since many people fled outside, even if there were zombies at the entrance, they would have been lured out. However, for this kind of boarding school, it must be a large zombie den inside, which didnt need Liu Yu Hao to say to think of.

  As for why the zombies didnt leave the school... actually, in the absence of prey, zombies are in a state of wandering, and the school is basically closed off with only one main gate leading outside, and there are many buildings within. Unless some survivors appear to stir up these zombies, they will continue to wander around here.

  What if they get hungry? Theyll kill each other! Thats why Ling Mo is certain that there must be mutated zombies in the school.

  Perhaps Liu Yuhao and others had not left at that time, but now so many days have passed, plus Ye Lians reaction, Ling Mo can completely confirm his own guess.

  "Wait." Just as they reached the gate, Ling Mo stopped Xiana and others, "Our agreement was to meet at the gate, so lets part ways now."

  Xianas expression immediately became somewhat complicated, and Liu Yuhaos eyes also revealed a reluctance to part. Although the time was not long, Ling Mo had fought shoulder to shoulder with them in addition to saving them, so it was inevitable that he would feel some reluctance to leave.

  "Thank you!" Xiana said lightly, biting her lip.

  Ling Mo looked at her for a moment and nodded: "Mm, but maybe well meet again because I have some business to attend to in this school too."

  This surprised both Shana and Liu Yuhao, but since Ling Mo didnt seem to want to elaborate, they didnt ask any further questions. As they were about to part ways, Liu Yuhao took out some of the little food he had left and handed it over to Ling Mo: "You guys take this, youve worked hard on this journey."

  If it werent for Ling Mo and Ye Lians help, we might have been annihilated, at the very least, passing through that section of road in front of the hospital would be extremely difficult.

  But Ling Mo didnt take it and instead smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didnt need it.

  Liu Yuhao still wanted to force it, but Wang Cheng quietly stopped him and smiled: "Brother Ling is so powerful, how could he possibly need our food? Since he doesnt want it, lets just forget about it."

  Seeing Ling Mos resolute attitude, Liu Yu Hao had no choice but to reluctantly give up.

  As soon as they parted ways, Ling Mo immediately took Ye Lian and rushed towards the Science Building, which was not far from the main gate.

  With Xianas skills, self-protection in this very familiar environment should be no problem, so Ling Mo doesnt worry, let alone with their style of doing things, it is destined that they cannot survive together. Its not difficult to hide Ye Lians identity for a short time, but it will inevitably be exposed over time.

  As soon as he entered the science building, Ling Mo saw the tightly closed elevator door, which immediately made him feel a thrill of excitement. Since it was in such a sealed state, there must be mutated zombies upstairs!

  The safe passage, that is, the stairs were not hard to find, just push open the door of the house not far away. But as soon as he arrived at the door, Ling Mo felt the violent instinct in Ye Lians heart, and at the same time, a dull sound also came from behind the door.

  Ling Mos eyes lit up all of a sudden, apparently there was a variant zombie behind this door!

  Although the variant zombies attacked swiftly, they didnt have intelligence and didnt know how to turn door handles. This door and the walls connection had many gaps, but it was still difficult to immediately break through.

  Ling Mo took a peek through the gap and vaguely saw that the mutated zombie behind the door was a middle-aged man, and there were no other mutated zombies besides him.

  Only one is good... Ling Mos mouth corner revealed a sly smile, he grabbed the door handle and raised the short knife in his hand, while Ye Lian also stood sideways by the door.

  With a "creak", the door had just been opened, and a strong force immediately rushed in. Fortunately, Ling Mo was prepared early on and dodged to one side with a swift movement.

  That mutated zombie rushed out immediately, but as soon as it poked its head out, Ling Mos short knife came slashing down.

  However, this variant zombie reacted incredibly quickly and grabbed Ling Mos short knife with one hand, pulling it towards himself. Ling Mo immediately lost his balance, and just as he took an unstable step, the variant zombies other hand reached for his chest.

  At the critical moment, Ling Mo would not give up. He almost instantly controlled the mutated zombie, and although he quickly reached his limit, he took advantage of this brief moment to retrieve his short knife and stabbed it forcefully into the mutated zombie. At the same time, Ye Lian directly stretched out her hand and grabbed the mutated zombies arm, twisting it off with force.

  But this variant zombie is indeed different, with not only faster reactions but also stronger resistance to control.

  In the midst of a life-and-death battle, Ling Mo couldnt possibly make a second attempt, but as he saw the mutated zombies arm being twisted off, his own dagger also stabbed into the opponent, and it seemed that the fight was over...

  What Ling Mo did not expect was that this sturdy mutated zombie, even with its arm torn off, could still resist. It didnt try to dodge, but instead charged directly at Ling Mo.

  At such a close distance, only the sound of the knife piercing flesh could be heard. The mutated zombie had completely closed in on Ling Mo and its sharp, iron-like hand was also reaching for his neck...

  At a critical moment, Ling Mos expression was still calm, while Ye Lian suddenly reached out and grabbed the hand again with a "click".

  Fortunately, when the blood spurted out, Ling Mo had already pulled out his dagger and dodged to one side, otherwise he would have been splattered with blood all over his face.

  "Almost...” Ling Mo only felt a bit drained now, this mutated zombie was just like the one in the supermarket, its combat strength was stronger than the previous mutated zombies they had encountered. This wasnt hard to understand, there were more people in the city, so it was likely that there were also more zombies trapped with them at the time.

  The more brain jelly is consumed, the higher the evolutionary level of the variant zombie, and the stronger its combat power.
