Chapter 97: Another Esper

  "How about it? Have you thought it through? What exactly are you planning to exchange?" Ling Mo asked as he beckoned them in with a wave of his hand.

  Seeing Tang Xiaoxue standing still in front of him, He Pengpeng behind him pushed him and said, "Go on, what are you afraid of?"

  I'm afraid of your sister! I'm not disgusted with myself for being too smelly, but I'm afraid of affecting the patients! Do you think everyone is as insensitive as you?

  Tang Xiaoxue silently cursed, but was already pushed into the house by He Pengpeng. She had no choice but to steel herself and walk towards Ling Mo. However, she knew she reeked of BO, so she stopped two or three meters away from the bed.

  Even so, the air in the ward immediately became murky. Fortunately, the two female zombies were not averse to this smell.

  Lin Luo and Ling Mo were two normal humans who had also been through hardships and were survivors in their own right, so this level of difficulty was nothing to them.

  He Pengpeng didn't intentionally lower his voice, and everyone in the house heard him loud and clear.

  Lin Ruanqiu's face suddenly revealed a hint of a smile, and he quietly looked at Ling Mo.

  "Don't worry, I've said it before, I won't take your things by force, just exchange with you." Ling Mo sighed and said helplessly.

  Tang Xiaoxue nodded and said, "I know this, otherwise you didn't need to give us time to consider it. You could have settled us right there earlier. Big brother, just say it, how many medicines do you want?"

  When he spoke, his eyes also swept across Lin Ranqiu and Ye Lian, but in the instant when his eyes met Ye Lian's, he suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.

  As a genuine variant zombie, and one that has already reached the edge of advancement, Ye Lian gives people a somewhat different feeling. Moreover, she is holding a shiny curved knife in her hand, apparently not a weak role either.

  Tang Xiaoxue secretly cursed her bad luck in her heart, why did she encounter such a powerful group of survivors as soon as she came out?

  Although Ling Mo had already made a statement and promised not to take action, he still felt like a mouse encountering a group of cats, with no sense of safety whatsoever.

  He hesitated and glanced at Ling Mo, thinking that he didn't have the guts to refuse Ling Mo's proposed "exchange".

  In a situation where Ling Mo could have taken it by force, he was willing to exchange food for medicine with them, which already made Tang Xiaoxue feel extremely fortunate. Now is not like the past, having real power is the only truth, everything else is nonsense.

  Character is the most unreliable thing... even Tang Xiaoxue himself thought that if Ling Mo were to forcefully demand the medicine from him now, in order to save his life, he might have no choice but to abandon his own bottom line.

  However, he didn't say this to He Pengpeng because he knew that although He Pengpeng was afraid of death, he unexpectedly had a sense of justice and wouldn't be able to bring himself to do such a thing.

  The best outcome would be for Ling Mo to not suddenly turn against us and start killing and robbing...

  He Pengpeng was much more calm and composed, and after determining that Ling Mo wouldn't kill them, he actually smiled and said: "Big brother, let's talk about the exchange later, can you give me something to eat first? I'm really starving... When we left, those two dogs only gave us half a package of mixed grains each, not even enough to fill our teeth..."

  "Whose food isn't earned with their life? I won't give it to you for nothing." Ling Mo waved his hand, stopping He Pengpeng from continuing to complain.

  Like them, survivors who can't eat their fill make up a large proportion of the more than 3,000 survivors in this school.

  If it weren't for this, Xu Cai's encouragement wouldn't have had such a great effect.

  What's most terrifying isn't the temporary hunger, but the despair that comes with the dwindling supplies and being surrounded by zombies. That's exactly what happened to Xu Ze and his group - they were trapped in this desperate vortex.

  These two people in front of me obviously haven't reached a desperate state yet, which means that there is still some food to be found in this central area.

  All they had to do was collect medicine, and there was nothing to eat around here either, so it was normal for them to be hungry.

  It turns out that the "dog man and woman" in their mouths sent someone to deliver death, but they didn't even care about food, let alone exploitation, it's no wonder that Tang Xiaoxue and others had such great grievances against them.

  Thinking of this, Ling Mo suddenly had a move in his heart and asked: "I heard you mention that pair of dog men and women several times... That is to say, your leader is a male and female pair, right? How can they possibly control more than ten girls with just the two of them? Moreover, you also said that other survivors were also forcibly dispatched to collect supplies. I'm very curious, why are you willing to come out and take risks instead of daring to unite and resist them?"

  Ling Mo thought to himself that if this man and woman were of the same strength as Ye Lian, it wouldn't be too difficult to achieve this level. But for two ordinary people, where did they get such a huge amount of energy?

  Even using a comrade's life as a means of coercion is not effective for everyone.

  He knew that things were probably not so simple, but he asked directly. Tang Xiao Xue and the others might not be willing to reveal the whole truth, it's better to use a small trick.

  This move was indeed effective against He Pengpeng, and he immediately became indignant, saying: "It's not like that! If there were really only the two of them, how would we have ended up in this situation? But they hugged someone's thigh and coaxed and deceived many people into joining them. We were outnumbered and outmatched, and had no choice but to listen to their words."

  So that's it, which means He Pengpeng and Tang Xiaoxue, as well as those survivors who were dispatched along with them, are actually marginalized people who have been squeezed out...

  Tang Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment and also nodded: "This situation has only recently started, since they had contact with that superpowered person..."

  "Superpower user?" Ling Mo's eyes twitched slightly, and even Lin Luo Autumn struggled to sit up from the bed, his face looking a bit unsightly.

  So-called superpower users should be heteromorphs. Lin Luoqiu indeed said that there was another heteromorph in X City University...

  But he didn't expect to hear news related to this ability user so soon.

  "Yes." Tang Xiaoxue saw that Ling Mo's expression was different, and thought he didn't believe her, so she added another sentence, "This person is said to be integrating all the survivors in the school, it seems that there really is some kind of superpower, otherwise how could they move freely around the campus..."

  Ling Mo thought that using the word "arbitrary" was a bit exaggerated, but people with special abilities indeed had an advantage over ordinary people. If he was careful, crossing the entire campus wouldn't be too difficult.

  But since you have special abilities, why not escape to the outside instead of gathering these survivors together? From Tang Xiaoxue and He Pengpeng's words, it's not hard to hear that the "dog man and woman" didn't used to do things this way, but now they're forcing cannon fodder to go around collecting supplies, it seems like they're doing this under the instructions of the ability users.

  So this ability user not only wants to integrate the survivors together but also plans to concentrate all the materials that can be collected.

  Even better, in this process, many weaker survivors can be eliminated...

  Ling Mo's heart suddenly skipped a beat, no way... That ability user should also be just a college student, how could he be so ruthless?
