The next day, early in the morning, this small building that didnt look particularly special from the outside immediately became busy.
Liu Yuhao distributed the stored grain equally among everyone, handing it out to each person, and even Ling Mo and Ye Lian were no exception.
Of course, for Ling Mo, who was used to carrying a full backpack of food, two bottles of mineral water and a few packs of snacks were basically useless. As for Ye Lian, she wasnt even interested in ordinary human food.
When others took over this meager food and saw Ling Mos nonchalant expression, their faces all looked somewhat unpleasant.
Lu Xin, whose cheek was still swollen, complained in a low voice to the people around him: "He doesnt care about us at all, and hes even taking our things away!"
"Shut up, you want to be beaten again?" The bespectacled man turned his head and said with a frown.
"Its not that youre afraid of trouble!" Lu Xins face suddenly turned bright red, and after muttering a curse in a low voice, she abruptly shut her mouth.
Even though Ling Mo didnt even give him a glance, when Lu Xin saw Ling Mo walk in, he still shut up that foul mouth and stopped talking.
"What kind of weapons do you all have?" Ling Mo didnt care about Lu Xin at all and walked straight up to Liu Yu Hao, asking.
Liu Yuhao was rummaging through several large backpacks, and upon hearing this, he looked up with a hint of embarrassment and pulled out a kitchen knife: "This is the best I can do."
In fact, with ordinary human strength, it is very difficult to chop off a zombies head with a kitchen knife and cause fatal damage in one go, making it hard to stop the zombies movement.
Moreover, close combat, even with a weapon in hand, is also an extreme test of willpower and reaction ability for ordinary people. If it werent for the help of the undead at the beginning, Ling Mo would have found it very difficult to progress gradually through battle.
But its better than nothing, having a knife in hand is always better than being empty-handed.
"Lets arm ourselves, one person with one gun. A single zombie is only slightly stronger than a normal human, and with a bit of courage, we shouldnt be completely defenseless. After all, the zombies advantage lies in their numbers."
Ling Mo said lightly. A single ordinary zombie, if a normal person encountered it, would still have the power to fight back. It was precisely because of this that Ling Mo looked down on these people who were physically fit and had all their limbs intact, but relied on a little girls bug.
"Easy said!"
Although someone grumbled in discontent, everyone still gathered around Liu Yu Hao and took their weapons.
Judging from Ling Mos attitude, even if they were in danger, he probably wouldnt take action. What if Shana and Liu Yu Hao didnt have time to care for him later? They couldnt just wait there to die, could they...
Food and weapons were soon distributed, and Shana returned with a long sword full of bloodstains.
She went out ahead of time and cleared up all the zombies wandering around nearby, which can be considered as opening the way.
"Lets go. We must arrive at San Zhong before afternoon." Xiana took a step towards the door, and on that stubborn and proud face, a hint of determination appeared.
Xia Na spoke up, and the group of people looked at each other, all following closely behind Liu Yu Hao as they went downstairs. Ling Mo and Ye Lian walked at the very back.
As soon as the gate was pushed open, the two zombie corpses lying outside immediately came into view, and several girls let out a scream.
"Shh! Youll attract zombies!" Xiana frowned and said, turning her head back.
Those girls immediately covered their mouths, while the other boys didnt make a sound, but their expressions werent great either. Ling Mo, who saw this scene, shook his head secretly. After being in the apocalypse for so long, even ordinary survivors were no better than zombies. At this point, its estimated that not many survivors would be scared just because of a corpse.
"In this direction, well have to pass through three residential areas and two major streets, as well as a hospital. There are many zombies along the way. You just need to help me out when Im overwhelmed." Xiana turned her head to say to Ling Mo.
Ling Mo nodded quietly, expressionless, and took Ye Lians hand. The reason he agreed to Xianas request was that there were many factors involved. While feeling sorry for the girl, Ling Mo also wanted to do something for Wang Cen, after all, this dagger was still very useful. But Wang Cen was already dead, so he could only help her relatives...
On the other hand, this is also an opportunity for Ling Mo, not only can he learn about the situation in the city, but also hone his puppet control skills and gain experience in combat.
Actually, in daily interactions with Ye Lian and attempting to control multiple zombies at once yesterday, Ling Mo had a faint realization that his puppeteering skills were becoming more proficient, but he always felt a layer of separation, which should be the so-called bottleneck...
I dont know what kind of realm I can reach after breaking through this bottleneck. The faster my strength increases, the more it can help Ye Lian evolve faster, and maybe even let her regain consciousness as soon as possible.
Ever since she swallowed the mutated zombies brain gel and showed a hint of producing consciousness, Ye Lian was no longer interested in the brain gel of ordinary zombies, and the effect after swallowing was not great either.
This also means that he must take Ye Lian to find more variant zombies...
Based on his experience of encountering variant zombies twice and his own analysis, Ling Mo felt that the places where variant zombies appeared were generally more closed and had a certain number of people.
Whether its a hospital or a school, especially a full-time boarding school, there is a high possibility of the appearance of variant zombies!
At the moment he agreed to Xiana, Ling Mo had already made up his mind that as soon as they reached the school gate, he would separate from Xiana and the others. They went for rescue, while he took Ye Lian to find variant zombies in the campus!
With a large group of people, Shana and the others advanced forward at a slow pace. However, seeing Shanas relaxed expression as she chopped down zombies with her knife, their fear was greatly alleviated. Liu Yuhao, although not as skilled in combat as Shana, was very good at coordinating his attacks with hers. Every time Shana forced back several zombies, he would dash forward and take out one or two of them, then immediately retreat behind Shana.
Looking at others, even if they are armed, they dont dare to take action...
After relatively smoothly passing through the first small district, the first casualty finally appeared.
As they passed by a store, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind a collapsed shelf and grabbed one of the boys.
The boy just had time to let out a cry of surprise before he was directly pulled into the shelf with a "bang".
When Ling Mo kicked the shelf closest to him, the boy had already been bitten in the throat by the little zombie who was only seven or eight years old. He stared wide-eyed and "gurgled" with blood spouting out of his mouth, unable to speak at all. In just one short second, a large hole was torn open on his neck, even his trachea was pulled out.
The little zombie lifted its head with a mouthful of blood, and through the dirty messy hair, those red eyes stared at Ling Mo with a cold and sinister gaze, and suddenly pounced over.
Dealing with a single zombie was easy for Ling Mo, especially after mastering the ability to control puppets instantly.
In the instant when his eyes met those of Xiao Wang Shi, Ling Mo had already briefly taken control of him. Even the action of pouncing on himself, which seemed like an attack, was actually controlled by Ling Mo.
Just as the little zombie was about to crash into him, and the people behind him had let out a scream, Ling Mo swung his short knife expressionlessly.
"Pffft!"
A stream of blood was flung onto the wall with Ling Mos movement, while Xiao Wang directly fell heavily from mid-air and landed at Ling Mos feet.
"He is dead."
Ling Mo glanced at the zombie corpse without looking at it for a long time, then looked over him and gazed at the male student who had fallen into the blood pool, and said briefly.
The group immediately fell silent, and a few seconds later, a girl suddenly burst into tears, but out of fear of the zombies, she covered her mouth as soon as she made a sound, suppressing all her sobs into muffled whimpers.
The rest of the girls were also terrified, staring at the corpse that was still twitching slightly, their eyes almost red. The boys didnt look much better either.
