Chapter 93: Unwavering Conscience

  Tang Xiaoxue and the other person stared at the package of instant noodles for a while, clearly both very tempted.

  But just as He Pengpeng was about to speak, Tang Xiaoxue stopped him with a hand and asked instead: "How much are you willing to give up in exchange?"

  Ling Mo secretly thought that this Tang Xiao Xue was indeed much calmer than his companions, and in such a desperate situation to obtain food, she could still suppress her impulse and try to haggle with him.

  "It depends on how many medicines you have and what kind of medicines they are," Ling Mo said.

  Tang Xiaoxue swallowed her saliva and hesitated for a while before saying, "There aren't many prescription drugs. After all, this is just the school clinic. There are some painkillers, cold medicines, antipyretics, stomach medicines, eye drops..."

  He had been talking for a long time, but Ling Mo wasn't very interested. For common medications like cold medicine, he already had several boxes in his backpack. As his physique gradually improved, it was likely that he would only catch a cold once a year. Having gotten used to living without a fixed abode and just seeking temporary shelter, his resistance was much better than before, and he wouldn't easily get sick. However, painkillers were a good thing, but as for stomach medicine... this kind of thing wasn't needed anymore.

  At this point, if you still get stomach aches or diarrhea from eating poorly, then you deserve to be eliminated. This world is indeed cruel, but fortunately, human adaptability is actually quite strong.

  Ling Mo's expression seemed somewhat uninterested, and Tang Xiaoxue also guessed that these medicines would probably not move Ling Mo.

  At this time, He Pengpeng's stomach coincidentally let out a mournful cry: "Grrr...".

  He pulled Tang Xiaoxue with a bitter face and said, "I'm almost starving to death. Even if we go back, they won't give us food. Give him some, it won't be discovered."

  Tang Xiaoxue's face suddenly changed, and she glared at He Pengpeng with a sulky expression, as if blaming him for being tactless: "How did I end up knowing this pig-headed guy?!" However, looking at He Pengpeng's drooling expression, he sighed and said, "We still have some Yunnan Baiyao spray, medical gauze, and bandages..."

  As soon as she said that, Tang Xiaoxue's eyes looking at Ling Mo were full of confidence. For ordinary people who may encounter danger at any time and place, emergency medicine is the most important thing!

  After all, ordinary people do not have the strong self-healing ability of zombies. For zombies, even if they lose an arm or a leg, they may not die as long as they are not attacked by other zombies and can survive tenaciously. However, for humans, even a slightly deeper wound can lead to fatal consequences. For example, after massive blood loss, physical strength drops sharply, and when encountering zombies again, there is no ability to escape.

  In the eyes of ordinary survivors, accidental injuries are equivalent to an increased risk of death, so they must have sufficient self-rescue capabilities.

  Ling Mo was indeed moved, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "How much?"

  "Not many, two of each... I suppose." Tang Xiaoxue said hesitantly.

  Tang Xiaoxue's tone wasn't very certain, and Ling Mo immediately picked up on it. He asked tentatively, "These medicines, did you guys help someone find them?"

  "This..." Tang Xiaoxue tensed up slightly before relaxing again, "Mm, this is something we helped some classmates find..."

  "What the hell, classmate! If you really considered us classmates, would you do something like this?" He Pengpeng interrupted Tang Xiaoxue's words in anger, his emotions suddenly becoming agitated.

  Tang Xiaoxue furrowed her brow and lowered her voice: "Don't be like this, you can't blame them, if you want to blame someone, blame that pair of dog men and women!"

  "Anyway, they're not good stuff. Want medicine, why don't you come out and find it yourself? Let us come out to die..." He Pengpeng seemed to have a lot of grievances, scolding incessantly.

  Ling Mo's heart suddenly flashed a hint of gloom, ever since he met Xu Cai and his group, he had been very unimpressed with the survivors in this school. The environment here determined that many people among them did not have a normal mindset, the scarcity of food, and the despair of being unable to escape, these negative emotions were enough to crush these survivors.

  These two students in front of me were also obviously bullied by their fellow survivors.

  Although he didn't want to get involved, Ling Mo really needed those emergency medical supplies, so after some thought, he asked: "How about this? If you can give me all the medicine, I won't just give you food, but also take you to another group of survivors. That way, you won't suffer any consequences for not bringing back the medicine, what do you say?"

  Dealing with those who bully their companions, this is the most peaceful and simplest way. You can't tolerate me, I'll just leave. Of course, to complete this task, you need to have enough courage and strength to survive alone. These two people are the most ordinary survivors at first glance, it's a bit difficult for them to let them live alone. So Ling Mo suggested that he would send them to another group of survivors. Anyway, there are about 3,000 survivors in this university, it's not hard to find another group.

  Looking at their attitude, they are clearly filled with resentment towards their own companions. They must have proposed such a suggestion and they will surely agree hastily...

  "No, we can't go." Tang Xiaoxue's reply was beyond Ling Mo's expectation.

  Even He Pengpeng firmly shook his head: "Thanks, big brother, it's not that we don't believe you, but we really can't leave."

  "Why?" Ling Mo asked in confusion, were these two born to be masochists?

  Tang Xiaoxue's expression became somewhat complicated, he scratched his hair and said: "Actually, it's not just me and He Pengpeng, some of our classmates were also forced to come out. Our task is to collect medicine, some of them are responsible for collecting food, and others are responsible for collecting daily necessities such as toilet paper... I don't know if others will run away, but He Pengpeng and I won't leave. Because..."

  "What's there to be afraid of? I'll say it!" He Pengpeng cut in, saying angrily, "Those two dogs, they locked up over a dozen girls, including a pregnant female teacher! They said, give us three days to go out and gather things, if by the time we come back one person is missing, they'll kill one of the girls! Although these girls aren't my girlfriends and have nothing to do with me, Tang Xiaoxue and I have already thought it through, we can't let them die."

  He was extremely emotional when he spoke, his whole body trembling. If it wasn't true, then it could only mean that his acting skills were too good.

  But if Tang Xiaoxue had said this, Ling Mo might not have believed it. However, He Pengpeng was a straightforward person who wouldn't lie when he was excited.

  So Ling Mo's gaze at the two of them changed in an instant.

  "I didn't expect... you two are quite something." Ling Mo's words were very sincere, having just dealt with Xu Cai and his gang, he had now encountered Tang Xiaoxue and He Pengpeng, and the contrast made him genuinely admire these two people.

  They are obviously the most basic kind of survivors, with no strength and lacking in brains, but they still have a conscience and a good heart.

  In today's world, it is really rare to have such qualities. Although Ling Mo himself was not a selfless and dedicated good person, he always believed that even if he wouldn't do so himself, at least he couldn't look down on people who did.

  After his view of them changed, Ling Mo's tone also softened, and the short knife in his hand was put down.

  "We can only give you one, because these things are very rare. If we take back too few, we won't have any good fruit to eat either. If we weren't so hungry that we had no strength left, we wouldn't even bring them out to exchange for food with you." Tang Xiaoxue sighed and said.

  He Pengpeng spoke directly: "But don't think about snatching! You see, the blood on our bodies is real zombie blood, and we've even applied a layer of rotten zombie flesh. If you want to force snatch, I'll cut myself open, and when I turn into a real zombie, even if you're very strong, you'll definitely die!"

  "I really want to say I don't know you..." Tang Xiaoxue finally couldn't bear it anymore and kicked He Pengpeng's calf with one foot.

  Although this is indeed a good way to die together, wouldn't saying it out loud make it ineffective?

  Before the war, he would carefully tell his opponent about his special move, this is a scene that only appears in third-rate movies...

  At the same time, Ling Mo couldn't help but feel a little nauseous. These two people were really able to endure anything for the sake of survival. They even smeared rotten meat on their bodies...

  But thinking about it, if I didn't have any special abilities and could only rely on my two hands to survive, I might not necessarily be able to do better than these two people.

  As ordinary people, it's already not easy for them to do so. Moreover, from what they said, they also used to kill zombies, but Ling Mo thought that the process was probably very embarrassing.

  But out of curiosity, he still couldn't help but ask: "Where did your zombie blood come from?"

  "Ah, I'm telling you, you won't believe it! We were really lucky, just as we left the door, not far away, we saw a stupid zombie stuck in the wall gap! I discussed with Tang Xiaoxue and used stones to throw him to death."

  With excitement and pride, He Pengpeng began to narrate in vivid detail how they used some not-too-large stones to smash the stupid zombie into a bloody pulp...

  But Ling Mo listened and had only one thought: these two freaks!
