Chapter 15 (1/2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Early in the morning inside this normal looking small building, everyone was busy preparing.
Liu Yuhao divided food to the number of people and gave them to everyone, including Ling Mo and Ye Lian.
Of course, two bottles of water and a few packets of snacks was useless to Ling Mo, whose backpack was filled with food. Not to mention Ye Lian, who was completely uninterested in human food.
But when the others took the small amount of food and saw Ling Mo’s careless expression, they all looked unhappy.
Lu Xin’s face was still swollen and he complained to someone next to him in a low voice, “He won’t even look after us yet he’s taking our food!”
“Stop it, do you want to get slapped again…” The boy with glasses turned around and frowned.
“Isn’t it because everyone is a coward?” Lu Xin’s face flushed red and suddenly shut his mouth after cursing in a low voice.
Even if Ling Mo didn’t look at him, he controlled his foul mouth and stopped talking when he saw Ling Mo walking towards them.
“Do you have any weapons?” Ling Mo couldn’t care less about people like Lu Xin and asked when he approached Liu Yuhao.
Liu Yuhao was digging through a few large backpacks at the time and took out a kitchen knife in embarrassment after hearing Ling Mo’s words, “This is the best that we have.”
It was difficult for ordinary people to be strong enough to cut off a zombie’s head with a kitchen knife. It was even hard for them to make a fatal wound on the zombies to stop their movements.
If they fought at a close proximity to zombies, it was a test to ordinary people’s will and reaction speed even with a weapon in hand. If Ling Mo didn’t have the help of zombie puppets, even he wouldn’t be able to improve much from fighting alone.
However, having kitchen knives was better than fighting with bare fists.
“Try to give one to every person. A single zombie is only slightly more powerful than normal people. They’ll be able to fight back if they have the slightest courage. In the end, zombies’ main advantage lay in numbers.”
Ling Mo described lightly. If a normal person encountered a single zombie, indeed they would be able to fight back. It was exactly why Ling Mo looked down on these worms with perfect limbs and stamina yet relying on a little girl to live.
“Easy to say!”
Although someone complained in dissatisfaction, everyone crowded around Liu Yuhao for a weapon.
Judging from Ling Mo’s attitude, he wouldn’t make a move even if they were in danger. In case Xia Na and Liu Yuhao didn’t have time to look after them, they couldn’t just stand there and wait for death…
Soon, they all got their food and weapons and Xia Na came back with blood dripping down her long sword.
She had cleaned up those zombies wandering around the building to open up a route for them before they left.
“Let’s go. We must reach the Third Middle School before the afternoon.” Xia Na stood by the door, her stubborn and prideful face looked determined.
After she spoke, the group of people exchanged glances with each other and closely followed Liu Yuhao down the stairs. On the other side, Ling Mo and Ye Lian walked behind them.
As soon as they pushed open the door, two dead zombie’s bodies appeared in their sights and a few girls immediately cried in surprise.
“Shush! You’ll attract more zombies!” Xia Na turned around frowning at them.
Those girls immediately covered their mouth with her hands. Although the boys didn’t make a sound, their expressions weren’t good either. Ling Mo watched silently and shook his head. They weren’t even as good as ordinary survivors after living as worms for so long. After so long, probably no survivors would be frightened by dead bodies.
“The Third Middle School is in this direction. We have to cross three residential districts, two large streets and a hospital. There’ll be a lot of zombies on the way there. You just have to help me when I can’t handle it,” Xia Na turned around and informed Ling Mo.
