Ling Mo leaned forward slightly and stared at Tang Xiao Xue, asking: "Tell me in detail about the situation with that ability user."
Although X City University's total area is not small, both he and the Esper's activity range are limited to this central area, so the probability of encountering each other is still very high.
Moreover, from Tang Xiaoxue and He Pengpeng's brief descriptions, it can be initially judged that this is a very ambitious person who may also be ruthless. For such people, we must be on guard.
On the other hand, Ling Mo was also very curious about the motivations of this ability user. After all, even if there were only a thousand survivors in the central area, gathering them together would be an extremely risky and difficult task. With so many people on the move, the number of deaths was almost impossible to estimate, and the remaining people, even if they were gathered together, would find it very hard to sustain themselves.
A dozen or twenty people can still gather in a house to eat, drink and have fun, but when hundreds of people gather together, it's almost a disaster!
This Esper won't have failed to think of this, so what does he plan on doing?
The last encounter with Lin Luoqiu had made Ling Mo clearly aware of the terror of an ability user. If Lin Luoqiu hadn't been severely ill at the time, Ling Mo would have been caught off guard and injured inevitably.
Although it is now known that Ye Lian will sense the presence of an Esper, reducing the possibility of being ambushed, the biggest problem with fighting an Esper is not knowing what their ability actually does.
It's always right to prevent beforehand, so Ling Mo decided that no matter whether he would meet this ability user or not, he would first investigate the situation of this person before doing anything.
"He seems to be... a graduate student from which department, named Wei Junyan." Tang Xiaoxue frowned and said, "Although they didn't deliberately avoid our conversation, their voices were too low, and no one dared to get close. However, someone among us knows him and says he used to be a gloomy guy... right, his hair is quite long."
Ling Mo rolled his eyes and thought to himself that what they said was completely useless. He reluctantly asked, "When he arrived or left, didn't you discover what his special ability was?"
"This... is really unclear, the movements are quite quick and there's no sound at all when walking." Tang Xiaoxue thought hard for a moment before saying.
This still provides some clues... light movements, silent walking, this is quite similar to Ye Lian. Is it like Ye Lian, leaning towards extremely fast speed?
If that's really the case, then there's nothing to worry about. He's fast and good at sneak attacks, but Ye Lian's precognitive sense for ability users can completely break through it.
Ling Mo's shortcoming, although in close combat, his spiritual power has already reached a certain level. Although it is impossible to control humans, he can still use his spiritual power to distort their vision and influence their judgment. Even further, it may not be impossible to directly use spiritual power to harm people. However, to reach that level, I don't know how long it will take to improve.
But just as Ling Mo was deep in thought, he suddenly raised his head and caught a glimpse of Lin Luo's unusual expression on her face.
Although Lin Ruoqiu was shocked and immediately lowered her head, Ling Mo still saw it clearly.
Looking at her eyes, which subtly revealed a hint of disgust, it seemed as if she knew Wei Junyan all too well?
When they first met, Lin Luo had mentioned this ability user before, but only in passing.
At that time, Ling Mo was a bit curious, but thinking about the possibility of encountering it was not great, and the other party said under unwilling circumstances, what came out may not all be true, so it's better not to listen.
It seems that at this point, the two of them should have some connection. Thinking about it, it's not impossible, after all, there are only two ability users in X City University, and Wei Junyan is obviously actively looking around, so finding Lin Luanqiu is normal.
But looking at Lin Luo's reaction, it seems like he still doesn't want to mention Wei Junyan...
After learning that there was another ability user active in the vicinity, Ling Mo and Tang Xiaoxue's minds on haggling had faded a lot.
He thought that if he took out some food and exchanged it with Tang Xiaoxue for three doses of emergency medicine, even if he was injured every day, he would be able to use them for about a month.
For so long, it was enough for Ling Mo to clear out the variant zombies and even the advanced zombies from X City University. By that time, Ye Lian might also be able to advance to the level of an advanced zombie, and her true consciousness would grow into a more rational one. The female advanced zombie left a deep impression on Ling Mo, as she had already shown some self-judgment ability.
As for Xiana's evolution... Due to her special circumstances, Ling Mo couldn't say clearly what she would eventually become, but from the current situation, it seems to be developing in a good direction.
This result made Tang Xiaoxue overjoyed, he originally thought that Ling Mo would take away all the emergency medicine, in that case, he wouldn't have any way to explain when he got back. But now although Ling Mo took away a big part of it, at least he left some for him.
And the amount of food used for exchange is also considerable, enough for them to eat for several days.
He thought that Ling Mo's behavior couldn't be considered good, and even had some compulsive tendencies, but in this world where moral order has collapsed, Ling Mo was willing to pay a sufficient price to exchange medicine with them, which was already rare.
What's more, these medicines, even if they take them back, they are not qualified to use them, and they must be handed over to that pair of dog men and women. When they first found the medicine, if it wasn't for Tang Xiaoxue's strong dissuasion, He Pengpeng still wanted to mix some zombie blood into those medicinal liquids.
From this point on, the person seems to have no sympathy, but at least there is a bottom line. However, it's also good that Ling Mo's bottom line has been clarified, and Tang Xiaoxue's fear psychology has decreased a lot.
As soon as the deal was made, Tang Xiaoxue and He Pengpeng started shoving food into their mouths like starving ghosts.
However, in order to avoid getting stained with zombie blood, they had no choice but to stretch their necks, looking very comical.
Ling Mo's face wore a faint smile as he turned his head to look at Lin Luo Qing on the bed.
But unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Lin Luoqiu spoke up and said: "Don't worry, I'll draw out the route map of this area and the places where zombies are most densely populated."
Although she immediately pursed her lips after finishing speaking, Ling Mo still saw a hint of melancholy in her eyes. This tone made Ling Mo suddenly feel a bit strange, as if he had returned to the time when they first met.
"By the way, what are your plans for the future?" Ling Mo had wanted to ask her about Wei Junyan, but seeing her like this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly and asked instead.
Lin Ruo looked at him for a moment, then glanced at Ye Lian and Xiang Na, and asked in return: "What about you?"
"This," Ling Mo smiled and said, "is living with them, no matter what this world becomes in the future."
Lin Ruoqiu's eyes suddenly became somewhat unusual, she looked deeply at Ling Mo, opened her mouth, but remained silent. As if there was something on the tip of her tongue, yet ultimately left unspoken.
After a while, she said somewhat gloomily: "I'm not very clear either. I want to go back and find my relatives, but I don't have the ability to do so myself. Before I left school, I wanted to take a look outside and see what the situation was like in the city. Most importantly, I wanted to know if there would be any rescue efforts." She paused here, looking at Ling Mo with some expectation: "Have you ever thought of going to find out if there's a rescue team?"
Ling Mo was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "No such plan for the time being. Besides, the situation in the city is too complicated. Even if there really are rescue teams, it's not easy for them to search for survivors after they've stabilized their footing. Ordinary people don't have the ability to find them. Moreover, the buildings in the city are densely packed, and even if the rescue team searches, it's not an easy task."
As for the rescue Lin Luoqiu had been expecting, Ling Mo didn't think much of it. This virus was extremely contagious and broke out suddenly without any warning signs, so there were no emergency measures that could be taken in time.
Although it's not a complete wipeout, by the time they've regrouped and established their so-called safe zone to search for survivors, an absolute long time would have passed.
It can be said that during this period of time, it was the darkest moment for the survivors, as they had to rely on themselves to hold on.
Even someone with supernatural powers like Lin Ruan has fallen into trouble, how can ordinary people possibly rely on their own strength to find rescue?
After listening to Ling Mo's words, Lin Luoqiu's expression didn't change much. She smiled and said, "I've thought about these things, let's take it one step at a time."
The two fell silent all of a sudden. After arriving at the school hospital, her life seemed to be saved, but the transaction between her and Ling Mo also ended here.
Just now, Lin Luo's words were full of hidden meanings, obviously wanting to retain him, but since their paths are different, they can't join forces. Ling Mo, bringing two variant zombie women, would never take the initiative to find human settlements.
The end means goodbye, but let Ling Mo say to a little girl who is still lying in bed: "You just stay here, tomorrow I'll take my girlfriend and leave first......" He can't even say that!
But Lin Ruanqiu didn't seem to have the intention of speaking up voluntarily...
"Let's take a rest first, we also need to tidy up. Whatever it is, let's talk about it tomorrow morning, you sleep well. By the way, we're sleeping next door, if anything happens just give us a shout."
Jing Lingmo picked up his backpack and slipped away, Lin Luoyue was taken aback at first, but then couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile. However, in this smile, her eyes seemed somewhat unusual...
