Chapter 15 (2/2)

Ling Mo nodded calmly and held Ye Lian’s hand. There were many factors to why he agreed to help Xia Na. He pitied and respected the girl, and he also wanted to do something for Wang Lin as the dagger was rather convenient to use. However, Wang Lin was dead, so he could only help her relative…

But it was also an opportunity to Ling Mo in another aspect. He could use this chance to learn more about the city’s situation, he could improve his ability to control his puppets and increase his combat experience.

In fact, when he worked with Ye Lian and when he tried to control multiple zombies yesterday, Ling Mo faintly felt like although he was becoming more familiar with the skill, there was still a barrier between them. Perhaps it was a bottleneck…

Ling Mo didn’t know what kind of state he would be in after breaking through. The faster he increased his ability, the faster he could help Ye Lian evolve and perhaps she could regain her consciousness soon.

After eating the gel-like part of the mutated zombies and the tiniest of consciousness sprouted, Ye Lian wasn’t so interested in normal zombies’ brain part anymore as the effect wasn’t too obvious.

It meant that he must find more mutated zombies for Ye Lian…

According to both experiences of encountering mutated zombies and from his analysis, Ling Mo thought that mutated zombies’ spawning location should be somewhere with a certain number of zombies in a sealed-off place.

Whether it was the hospital or school, especially an all-day boarding school, mutated zombies might show up there!

Ling Mo decided in the same second when he agreed to help Xia Na. He will move separately than Xia Na and the others when they reach the front gate. They will go help those people and he will take Ye Lian around the school to look for mutated zombies!

With so many burdens, Xia Na and the others couldn’t move too quickly. But when they saw Xia Na slaughtering zombies cleanly and lightly, these people’s fear decreased quite a bit. Although Liu Yuhao’s combat ability wasn’t as good as Xia Na, he worked together with her quite well. Whenever Xia Na forced a few zombies back, he would dash to the front and kill one or two of them, then back off behind Xia Na immediately.

On the contrary, no one else dared to make a move despite having weapons…

After they crossed the first residential district rather smoothly, the first victim finally appeared.

When they crossed a shop, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind the collapsed shelves, grabbing onto one of the boys.

The boy only had time to let out a yelp before he was pulled into the shelves with a loud bang.

Ling Mo was the closest to him and when he kicked the shelves apart, seven or eight zombies already torn the boy’s throat. His eyes were wide open and blood gushed out his mouth, unable to talk. In merely a minute, a large hole was torn in his throat and his trachea ripped out.

A small zombie lifted its head up with a bloody mouth. Its red eyes stared at Ling Mo coldly through its messy hair as if it was looking at a dead man and it abruptly leaped up.

It was easy to kill a single zombie to Ling Mo especially after he learned how to use his puppet control ability to affect them temporarily.

Ling Mo temporarily controlled it when he briefly made eye contact with the small zombie. The seemingly attacking leap was also in fact controlled by Ling Mo.

As the small zombie was about to crash into him, those behind him yelled as Ling Mo waved the short dagger in his hand expressionlessly.

“Puu!”

A stream of blood splattered onto the wall with Ling Mo’s movement, the small zombie fell on the ground heavily front mid-air, landing at Ling Mo’s feet.

“He’s dead.”

Ling Mo didn’t take another glance at the dead zombie and stated briefly as he looked at the boy lying in a pool of blood.

The group fell silent. After a few seconds, a girl suddenly wailed out of fear, she immediately covered her mouth when she was about to make a sound. She blocked her cries inside her mouth and it became indistinct whimpers.

The other girls also stared at the body that was still twitching slightly in horror. Their eyes were red and the boys weren’t doing any better.
