It's no wonder that X City University has 30,000 zombies. Even in areas with relatively fewer zombies, the number is still staggering.
The X University, once famous for its beautiful environment, is now a place where it's extremely painful to walk around the campus with everywhere being green and the roads being very wide.
There are zombies in the buildings by the road, there are zombies in the bushes, and there are zombies on the road...
No wonder Lin Ruanqiu and his group suffered heavy casualties, this is not a place where ordinary people can pass through safely!
What made Ling Mo most depressed was that, due to his unfamiliarity with the environment, in order not to attract more zombies from all corners, he could only adopt a more conservative approach and slowly move forward.
To put it simply, it's a step-by-step process of breaking through! With Lin Ranqiu leading the way, it's indeed easier than charging forward recklessly, but the difficulty is still very high!
Especially when Ling Mo noticed that the variant zombies were not completely ignored by ordinary zombies, he was unwilling to let Xiang Nan and Ye Lian rush too recklessly, lest any mishaps occur.
Although the progress was slower, it was safer after all. This also made Lin Ranqiu, who had some doubts about Ling Mo's strength, completely relieved.
Through this journey of observation, Lin Luoqiu has discovered that Ling Mo and his two companions not only possess strength but also know how to cooperate, especially Ling Mo as the decision-maker, who appears extremely calm and cautious.
It was precisely because of his careful attitude that Lin Luo Chun became more and more confident in her own judgment.
Originally in her heart, she actually had an attitude of trying no matter what, and she also had a thread of doubt about whether she could succeed.
After all, it's only been a few days since I escaped from X City University, and the feeling of being in a thrilling and terrifying situation among the zombies is still fresh. Although when she saw Ling Mo, this person's words and deeds gave her a seemingly more relaxed and casual impression, but actually being very cautious and steady, that was just an initial impression. It's hard to know someone's heart even if you know their face, let alone when it's just the first meeting?
It wasn't until he saw Ling Mo's performance in battle that Lin Luo finally felt at ease. Following him, he could truly find a glimmer of hope!
A more thrilling scene appeared at an intersection.
Originally, there were less than fifty zombies here, and Ling Mo thought he could quietly pass by, but unexpectedly, as soon as he turned to the back of one of the buildings, he ran into a mutated zombie head-on!
Look at that black shadow suddenly jumping out from the weeds behind the house, incredibly fast, and Ling Mo retreated quickly after a fierce attack. Lin Luoyue's reaction was very quick, pulling Shi Bin away, and the two of them quickly retreated to one side.
Staying in a zombie den like X City University, Lin Luoqiu and Shi Bin had naturally seen variant zombies before. As an ability user, Lin Luoqiu had even fought against variant zombies, but the process was not easy.
For someone like Shi Bin, encountering a variant zombie means death. If it's a group of people, it might be a wipeout.
Mutated zombies like these are not something they can withstand, and even if they get a little closer, they may die instantly. The attack speed of mutated zombies is not comparable to that of ordinary zombies.
Ling Mo was startled by the sudden appearance of this mutated zombie hiding behind the house, but his spiritual touch had just been used continuously for half a day and he almost instinctively brought it out when faced with danger. The mutated zombie's forward momentum was immediately blocked. As he retreated, Ye Lian also rushed up from behind him, her curved knife directly slashing at the mutated zombie's neck.
However, this variant zombie seems to have a higher degree of evolution, and it's probably just one step away from becoming an advanced zombie. It might even be on the same level as Ye Lian. As soon as it regained its mobility, it took two steps back. But this variant zombie has a congenital defect - one of its legs is crippled. Even so, it's not something that ordinary people can confront head-on.
This place is surrounded by zombies, Ling Mo didn't have the energy to entangle with him here. If he were surrounded by more than 50 zombies at once, the chances of escaping alive would be too small.
So while Ye Lian chased after him, Ling Mo also gripped his short knife and circled around.
Xiana raised her long knife and slashed diagonally from the side, forming a pincer movement with Ling Mo.
Three knives struck the mutant zombie at the same time, and although it tried to dodge, Ling Mo's spiritual touch made its movements pause for a moment, coupled with its unstable footing, causing it to stumble in place.
"Hmph!"
Three knives entered the flesh, and this mutated zombie's movement suddenly stiffened. Ye Lian pulled out the curved knife at the first moment, and with a reverse hand, he scooped out his brain gel. His body turned around, and he stuffed it into Ling Mo.
This series of actions can be said to be smooth and natural, ordinary people no matter how hard they try to practice coordination, it's estimated that they still can't reach this level of tacit understanding, but Xia Na and Ye Lian both have a spiritual connection with Ling Mo, so their compatibility is naturally extremely high.
On the other hand, it was because the mutated zombies that Ling Mo had hunted were no longer a small number. For this kind of zombie that made ordinary survivors turn pale, Ling Mo had long since lost any fear in his heart.
Until the gel fell into Ling Mo's hands, Lin Luoqiu and Shi Bin didn't see how the battle ended either. Xiana and Ye Lian's attack angle happened to block their entire field of vision.
Jing Lingmo and the other two coordinated almost seamlessly, instantly killing a highly evolved variant zombie on the spot. Lin Luoyue's eyes were shocked, while Shi Bin was left speechless with his mouth agape.
After he came back to his senses, he just turned his head and was about to say something to Lin Luoqiu, but found that Lin Luoqiu was staring at Ling Mo with a thoughtful expression.
This scene made Shi Bin clench his fists instantly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "It's just an ability user, if he didn't have the ability, with that appearance, he's nothing!"
Lin Ranqiu didn't notice Shi Bin's abnormality, and when she came back to her senses, she asked in surprise: "You guys have dealt with that kind of zombie before, right? The coordination just now was really beautiful."
"Mmm, I call this kind of zombie a variant zombie. Although even among variant zombies there are differences, this one is just a highly evolved type. There are also some that have just mutated, aside from being fast and having great strength, they don't pose much of a threat, so they're not invincible."
"Mutant zombies...... That's a fitting name." Lin Luoqiu nodded, and then said with flashing eyes, "So the three of you...... aren't just lovers, but also comrades in arms."
Her words were a bit incoherent, but Ling Mo understood them at once.
He's a big man with two beautiful women, and Lin Ranqiu saw that scene early in the morning. I guess she must think that Ling Mo's private life is very messy.
But if they were to fight side by side like this now, with their lives on the line, it would have a completely different meaning.
The feelings established between life and death are naturally very strong, and it's only right that they should be intimate with each other...
As for Ling Mo and the two girls getting mixed up together, Lin Luo Qing still had some misgivings about it.
But seeing him paying close attention to Shana and Yue Lian all the way, as if afraid that they would make a slight mistake, his impression of Ling Mo also gradually changed.
The campus of X City University is really too big, and after half a day's journey, Ling Mo and his party had only just arrived near the gymnasium, still a long way from the C3 teaching building located in the central area.
In front of the gymnasium was a square, with no place to hide on either side. Fortunately, there were not many zombies, and as long as we were careful, we would be safe.
Continuous fighting has made Ling Mo's heart feel extremely tired, he alone had chopped nearly a hundred zombies, and this was the result of trying to sneak through as much as possible.
That's nearly a hundred zombies, not a hundred cabbages! If there's even the slightest mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. So while fighting, Ling Mo must make all sorts of careful considerations. The intense concentration of his attention, the massive consumption of his spiritual energy, all these things made Ling Mo feel exhausted. Fortunately, after several upgrades, his physical strength was not comparable to before, otherwise he would have collapsed by now.
Even so, when he arrived near the stadium, Ling Mo also felt dizzy.
Even Ye Lian and Xiana showed a hint of fatigue, and even with the abundant physical strength of mutant zombies, they couldn't withstand the prolonged battle.
But the one who looked the most miserable was neither Ling Mo's three people nor Lin Luoqiu, who had the worst physical condition, but Shi Bin.
Ling Mo initially deliberately diverted the zombies to the east, leaving Shi Bin no chance to rest. However, as the number of zombies increased, even if he didn't intentionally do so, Shi Bin still had no opportunity to rest.
All the way, he was drenched in sweat, his messy hair stuck to his forehead and cheeks, his pale face flushed bright red, his lips trembling non-stop, and even his arm holding the knife handle was slightly shaking. This appearance was really a bit pitiful...
"There are too many zombies on this road. Everyone is tired now, let's go to the gymnasium to rest for a while. Are there many zombies inside?"
Ling Mo was not familiar with the situation at X City University, and he wouldn't have known even if asked.
Lin Ruo Xue is also very responsible on this road, and basically what she says will not have too many mistakes.
"This gym doesn't usually have many people coming, and the activity times of several clubs aren't on the day the disaster broke out. Ordinary students also prefer to go to another larger gym, after all, the facilities there are more complete. So I think, the number of zombies inside should be very small."
Lin Ran's words were an analysis of the situation, and Ling Mo immediately had a plan in mind: "Alright, let's go inside and rest for a while."
