Although Xia Na was confused as to why Ye Lian stayed, she couldn’t deny that she was astonished when she saw Ling Mo’s calm smile when they backed off.
As for the others, they all had different thoughts…
But no matter what, many were touched by Ling Mo risking his life to help them with this. A few of them even felt ashamed of themselves and regretted that trying to exclude Ling Mo.
Ling Mo remained where he was standing, but he wasn’t thinking of this in his brain. He could ignore others’ opinions towards him, especially those who were unrelated to him. The most important thing was to do what he wanted to do without regrets.
But the thing was, was it even life-threatening to Ling Mo?
The answer was obviously no. Ling Mo would never do anything that would risk his life if he knew he had a choice! No matter how attractive the heroism complex was, he wouldn’t let blood rush to his head and give away his life in vain.
Ling Mo waited until Xia Na and the others were out of sight before rubbing his nose and walking into a mobile phone shop like he was shopping.
When they had arrived there, a few zombies heard the noise and rushed out, but Xia Na killed them, leaving their bodies lying at the front door. Ling Mo left Ye Lian outside and stepped over the zombies into the shop.
Since the disaster broke out, all public facilities lost their function, including communications. However, Ling Mo wasn’t looking for an ordinary phone, but fake phones which could also be called portable speakers!
Luckily this shop didn’t specifically sell big brands, but it sold all sorts of phones. Ling Mo dug through the messy counter and found a few phones with sufficient battery before walking out satisfyingly.
Now that he had speakers, he could throw it on the ground to attract some zombies, but it was hard to attract all the zombies on this street. If he did that, it would also be quite dangerous to himself. Once the speaker was turned on, all zombies would crowd over there. Although Ye Lian would be fine standing in a crowd of zombies, where could he run?
Since he decided to step up himself, he must do his best. Otherwise, wouldn’t he waste the supernatural power he had?
Indeed, to ordinary people, it was a mission that was almost a hundred percent sure to get themselves killed. But to Ling Mo, it was too easy…
First, he carefully moved a little closer to the street and controlled three zombies with his control power.
But he didn’t know where Xia Na and the others were, he picked a corner and made three zombies go to him to prevent the others from seeing.
“Here, one each.”
Ling Mo smiled eerily and gave those phones to the zombies.
He intentionally picked young and strong teenage zombies because they could move faster.
Ling Mo checked the situation on the street and controlled the zombies to go back with phones in their hands. As for him, he hid in a dead-end with Ye Lian and calculated the distance between him and the zombie puppets in his heart.
Logically speaking, the distance should decrease as he controlled three zombies at the same time, but after evolving, Ling Mo’s consciousness was much stronger than before.
Thirty meters… Fifty meters… A hundred meters… A hundred and fifty meters… Three hundred!
Ling Mo frowned and wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead with a pale face, “The limit is three hundred meters… And they can almost break away from my control, but it’s more than enough.”
Ling Mo shifted his glance to the hospital not far from him and immediately had a plan.
The straight line distance between him and the hospital was no more than a hundred meters…
“Start!”
Ling Mo controlled two zombies and made them walk towards the end of the street as much as possible and finally stopped when his head was about to explode. The moment when the zombie pressed the play button, Ling Mo felt like he was going to faint.
Fake phones nowadays were all equipped with that one song, it was definitely loud enough!
After the zombie pressed the play button, there was a short blank before a deafening voice sounded, “Jigeumbuteo gal dekkaji gabolkka! Kka! Kka! Kka! Kka! (1)”
As soon as the music began to play, the zombie immediately swung its arms and sprinted towards the front door of the hospital like an arrow leaving the bow.
The wandering zombies on the street shifted their attention to the human form speaker at once. Ling Mo wasn’t sure what their hissing meant but they immediately flung themselves towards the human form speaker.
As Ling Mo guessed, there were too many zombies on the street, and the zombie puppet was barely halfway there before being tripped over by other zombies, the music also soon disappeared.
But it was fine, Ling Mo already gave up trying to control this zombie and the moment when the music disappeared, the second phone immediately played.
The same music, the same movement, but it attracted more zombies from a further distance and brought those zombies wandering afar from them here.
