As for Ling Mo and Ye Lian staying behind, there was the example of Lu Xin before them, so these people didnt dare to utter another word.
However, from the deliberately averted gazes of most people, Ling Mo could see that they were more afraid of themselves. Xi Ya was also very strong, but after all, she had not taken action against them. It was probably when Ling Mo grabbed Lu Xin in an instant that these people finally realized it was better to be honest in front of Ling Mo.
Just as Ling Mo had intended, his slap, although only landed on Lu Xins face, actually made all the others who were dissatisfied with Ling Mo feel the scorching pain on their faces, whether they voiced their agreement or just muttered to themselves.
As for Lu Xin, as soon as he heard that Ling Mo was going to stay, he slipped away and hid in his room, not daring to show his face again.
Ling Mo didnt think he had overdone it. This was originally a chaotic world, and since he had the power, he wouldnt tolerate others humiliating him!
"Do you guys remember those teachers and classmates who stayed in school?" Liu Yuhao arranged for Ling Mo to sit on the sofa, then excitedly said to the group of people, "Brother Ling has agreed to help me and Xiana find them!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and their gaze at Ling Mo suddenly became extremely complicated.
The girl student hesitated and said: "There are too many zombies there..."
Its clear that they dont believe in the success of this operation. And from other peoples expressions, you can also see a skeptical look.
"Ive told you before, I must go back to find them. If it werent for their help in cutting off the rear, you would have all become zombies leftovers by now." Compared to Liu Yu Hao, Xia Nas words were not only direct but also extremely blunt.
If it werent for her pulling Ye Lians hand, she really looked like a sticky little sister, and had a bit of a leading lady vibe...
"May..."
At this time, a one-eyed man sitting on Ling Mos left suddenly spoke up: "Since thats the case, lets all go together. Xiang Nan is right, they might still be alive and waiting for us to pick them up. If we just leave like this, it would be too selfish. How about it, take us with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyones face turned somewhat unsightly, but strangely, no one raised an objection.
"No way!" Ling Mo said, interrupting before Shana and Liu Yuhao could speak.
The proposal was vetoed, and the bespectacled man didnt get angry, but instead turned his gaze to Ling Mo and asked: "Why?"
"Youre all incapable of fighting, and with such a large group, youre too conspicuous."
Its one thing to be blackmailed by Shana, but being a nanny for this group of people is too much. Ling Mo thought to himself that he wasnt that kind-hearted. Moreover, although Glasses Man made it sound good, Ling Mo felt that they just wanted to follow him because they lacked a sense of security, which could be seen from their reactions.
Its quite far from the third district, if all those people died then it would be fine, but if there are still survivors, I estimate that Shana and the others wont return for two or three days. Passing through areas densely populated with zombies isnt a simple task.
Of course, this group of people has no pressure at all, they just need to play the role of a burden well.
"Food is really not enough to eat!" The man who had just opened his mouth to echo Lu Xin suddenly spoke with a bitter face, and as soon as he said this, it was equivalent to confirming Ling Mos guess.
"Yes, I didnt expect to run into Brother Ling today, so we didnt prepare enough food for them in advance..."
Liu Yuhao patted his forehead and turned his pleading gaze towards Ling Mo.
"Lets put it this way, you dont have to worry about their lives or deaths. You just need to help us out when were in a crisis and thats it." Xiana muttered to herself for a moment before suddenly saying to Ling Mo.
As soon as she said that, the expressions of everyone present became somewhat subtle. I suppose they all knew their own identity positioning, but being pointed out so clearly by someone else was probably a first for them, and feeling embarrassed was inevitable.
In fact, it is precisely because they understand that they are a burden that they will show dissatisfaction with Ling Mos appearance. Whether Ling Mo is the same as them as a burden or has some ability, to these people who have formed a clique, he is an "outsider".
As for Shana and Liu Yu-Hao, in their eyes they were like hosts. They had to squeeze hard, but also wanted to monopolize.
But a vase must have the self-awareness of a vase. Once the host speaks, they can only endure even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts.
Since Shana said so, Ling Mo also nodded: "Okay."
"Thats great, Shana. Dont worry, as long as you give us the weapons, well do our best to take care of ourselves." The bespectacled man said with a hint of a joyful smile.
But looking at other peoples complicated and entangled expressions, its hard for people to take this speech seriously.
Everyone discussed the details for a while, then Liu Yu Hao took out all the food from his backpack and they sat around eating a simple meal together.
However, the food they found was really hard to fill their stomachs. On the other hand, the food in Ling Mos backpack had better taste and higher calories than these. This is not surprising, as there were many zombies and survivors in the city area, and almost every supermarket must have been searched several times...
But Ling Mo didnt mean to take it out and share...
"Huh, arent you going to eat, sister?" Xiana handed over half a package of instant noodles to Ye Lian, but found that Ye Lian had no reaction at all.
"Sister, is your mood bad?"
Although Xiana seemed completely unaware, Liu Yuhao felt a chill from Ye Lians eyes and couldnt help but ask tentatively.
"No, she just doesnt get along with strangers." Ling Mo suddenly felt a headache and hastily interrupted their questioning.
"Lets have Ye Jie sleep with us tonight." Xiana suddenly suggested, "You can live with Liu Yuhao. The boys will live on this side, and we girls will live across from them."
As she spoke, she pointed to the house across from them.
Although Ling Mo wanted to refuse, when his eyes swept over Xianna and several other girls, he inexplicably nodded: "Okay." Anyway, they were not far apart, so Ye Lian would not lose control. Since his spiritual power had increased greatly, the distance he could control had also increased significantly.
"Huh......" Ling Mos straightforwardness caught Xiana off guard, but this actually made her view of him slightly change.
After the apocalypse, all entertainment activities basically disappeared. After dinner, although it was just getting dark, everyone quietly returned to their rooms to rest without a word.
Xia Nai also pulled Ye Lian, and several girls went to the opposite side. Ling Mo maintained a spiritual connection with Ye Lian on one hand, and slept alone in a single bed under Liu Yus arrangement on the other hand.
This is also a special favor, after all, he will help Xiana and others go to Sanzhong tomorrow, and with his fighting power, even if he is selectively helping, it is of extraordinary significance to Xiana and others.
But who would have thought that when Ling Mo lay on the single bed, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, his line of sight had already shifted to Ye Lian.
"Im not at ease with Ye Lian staying alone with you guys, I have to keep an eye on her..."
Ling Mo said quietly in his heart.
