The sky had just brightened, and Ling Mo woke up.

  He has a lot of things to do today, such as hunting mutated zombies, replenishing the depleted virus gel, and... replenishing food reserves!

  The food collected earlier is almost gone, and although half a box of instant noodles was harvested yesterday, it's still not enough for Ling Mo.

  A great deal of fighting, as well as long periods of walking, and the constant drain on his spiritual energy, had caused Ling Mo's appetite to become increasingly astonishing.

  Of course, a major reason for this situation is that many of the foods that can be gathered are not nutritious and no matter how much you eat, they cannot replenish the body's energy consumption.

  Just being full is far from enough.

  Before going out, Ling Mo was used to making sufficient preparations, so after getting up, he immediately started packing his backpack.

  For this residential building, Ling Mo was quite satisfied, and it was very suitable as a hiding place. Therefore, in the short term, he did not plan to leave here.

  Although his actual destination was X City University, this place is already very close to X City University. On the way here yesterday, Ling Mo had already discovered that it's really difficult to move around in such a bustling downtown area.

  The terrain is complex, with many buildings and an astonishing number of zombies. These factors combined make this area extremely dangerous.

  Compared to rushing into an unclear situation at X University, Ling Mo would rather take this place as a base point first, then get a clear understanding of the surrounding situation before making plans.

  This is what's commonly known as grinding, it just requires a lot of work. Of course, during the grinding process, you can also collect materials, and if you're lucky, you might even discover some places where variant zombies might exist.

  Considering the estimated number of zombies in this area is more than double that of San Zhong, Ling Mo decided to leave some unnecessary items behind in the house to reduce his load.

  It's relatively remote here, and there are zombies wandering around the parking lot and construction site. Even if a survivor happens to run nearby, they probably wouldn't think that this residential building is inhabited, so it's still relatively safe to hide things here.

  A short knife and a dagger were hung at his waist, the last few pieces of chocolate were stuffed into the pocket of his jacket to replenish energy at any time. Finally, he also took out an army canteen, filled with a full canteen of mineral water. The rest of the things were poured out from his backpack and piled together with instant noodles in the box.

  It's been a long time since I've gone out with an empty backpack, although the task is heavy, Ling Mo still can't help but feel a little lighter.

  To be on the safe side, before taking Shana and Ye Lian out, Ling Mo deliberately hid all the things in the house under the bed, and then messed up the bedding to pretend that no one was living there. He also opened the door wide open, only then did he feel at ease leaving the house.

  As a bustling area in the city, although it's not a major street yet, the number of zombies is already appalling. The degree of destruction of surrounding shops has also increased significantly. Just the abandoned vehicles on the road and some remaining traces after explosions are enough to make people feel terrified, let alone the blood plasma that has congealed all over the ground, which is like a layer of bloody carpet covering the entire area.

  As soon as he walked onto the street, Ling Mo's expression became solemn. Although Ye Lian and Siya were there to help him, the pressure of scavenging and hunting in such a dangerous place was still immense.

  As soon as a slight noise is made, it's estimated that a large number of zombies will be attracted. The method of using mobile phone music to attract zombies, which was used before, is completely useless here. Not only is there not enough space to accommodate the attracted zombies, but there is also a very deadly geographical feature, that is, the road is crisscrossed and there are many small alleys around.

  As soon as the music sounded, zombies from all directions swarmed in. Even if one relied on their zombie-killing skills to avoid being buried under the zombie tide, it was certain that they would be trapped here. This kind of self-digging grave affair was not something Ling Mo would do.

  The safest and most stupid way is to kill them one by one, and try not to attract the attention of zombies from a distance.

  Although these zombies have all five senses, they also have weaknesses. When no prey is found, they are basically wandering slowly, and the moving area is small. So although there are many zombies on the road, they are not crowded together. As long as you take advantage of the gaps between them, you can do this.

  This kind of thing is difficult for ordinary people to accomplish, but Ling Mo has a special ability, and it's not that hard to implement.

  He first sneaked into an abandoned vehicle under Shana's cover, then manipulated Ye Lian to approach the nearest group of zombies from behind.

  To avoid attracting zombies from afar with fresh blood, Ling Mo did not let Ye Lian use a curved knife, but instead adopted a more violent method: twisting the neck.

  With Ye Lian's strength, she almost instantly transmitted a "click" sound as soon as she hugged the other party's head with both arms, and then slowly put the zombie corpse on the ground. However, even such a light sound immediately attracted the attention of several other zombies who turned their heads to look over. However, ordinary zombies will not attack their own kind unless they are enraged, so they only turned their heads without attacking Ye Lian who was within arm's reach.

  At this time, Ling Mo stretched out his head from the back of the car. The moment he was discovered by these zombies, he immediately used his puppet ability. However, at this time, Ling Mo also noticed that after the upgrade, his puppet ability seemed to have changed slightly. Previously, he had to be in a situation where four eyes met before he could control the zombie puppets, but now, with his full attention, two of the zombies who turned their heads slightly slower and didn't even make eye contact with him were also controlled by him.

  But this was not the time to think about these things, as his puppeteering skills were displayed, the invisible threads immediately controlled the zombies tightly. At the same time that he successfully manipulated a few zombies, Ling Mo's mouth also revealed a sly smile.

  These corpses immediately began to slaughter each other after being manipulated, and under the deliberate control of Ling Mo, they all died very cleanly.

  With this cautious combat method, Ling Mo quickly broke through to the entrance of a small supermarket.

  The supermarket is small in scale, but the remaining supplies are not few. This is not hard to understand, after all, not all survivors have the ability to come to such a place to search for food.

  After leaving Shana on guard at the entrance, Ling Mo and Ye Lian quickly began searching inside the supermarket.

  As a large number of all kinds of food were quickly stuffed into the backpack, Ling Mo's mood also became slightly more relaxed.

  In the end of the world, it is indeed true that the greater the risk taken, the greater the gain.
