But with fewer people, they moved faster than before.

Ling Mo didn’t need to care for these people and they naturally learned from Wang Cheng as they followed Xia Na and Liu Yuhao closely. Other than moving faster, they were safer too. There were no more deaths until the building of the Third Middle School was in their view.

“The Third Middle School is ahead.” Xia Na killed the zombie in front of her and turned around. Although they went through a lot today, she still looked excited to finally arrive.

However, Ling Mo frowned lightly. It wasn’t hard to guess from Ye Lian’s strong desire to fight that there were mutated zombies in the school just as he expected. Perhaps there were more than before, far more than one.

The level of difficulty to survive in this environment was unimaginable. Xia Na and the others probably came here in vain.

However, Ling Mo was surprised that the front gate wasn’t crowded with zombies as he imagined. Instead, it was empty. Other than a few zombies who obviously wandered here from somewhere else, there were no other threats.

Seeing that Ling Mo looked confused, Liu Yu whispered from the side, “When the disaster broke out, the majority of people tried to escape outside… But we stayed and sent a group to find a shelter outside after the chaos was over. There is quite a lot of zombies in the school, but it should be fine if we are careful.”

Ling Mo immediately understood after hearing Liu Yuhao’s explanation. Since many tried to escape outside, even if there were zombies by the door, they would be lured outside. But in a boarding school like this, the inside must be a large scale zombie lair. Ling Mo was aware of it without needing Liu Yuhao to warn him.

As to why those zombies didn’t leave the school… In fact, the zombies were all in their wandering state when there was no prey in their sight. The school was sealed and there was only one gate towards the outside and there were numerous buildings. Unless survivors appeared here and attracted those zombies, they would continue to wander here.

But what if they were hungry? They would kill each other! It was the reason why Ling Mo was certain that there must be mutated zombies in the school.

Perhaps they didn’t exist when Liu Yuhao and the others left, but it had been so many days and seeing Ye Lian’s reaction, Ling Mo could confirm his assumption.

“Wait.” As soon as they reached the gate, Ling Mo stopped Xia Na and the others, “Our promise was the front gate. We should separate now.”

XIa Na’s expressions became complicated and Liu Yuhao looked like he was unwilling to see Ling Mo leave. Although it was only a short period of time, Ling Mo fought alongside with them other than saving them, so it was hard for them to let him go.

“Thank you!” Xia Na bit her lips lightly and said.

Ling Mo glanced at her and nodded, “Mhm, but perhaps we’ll meet again. I have some business I need to attend to in the school too.”

Xia Na and Liu Yuhao were surprised but they didn’t ask further as Ling Mom didn’t look like he was going to tell them the details. Before they parted, Liu Yuhao took out some food from their scarce supply and passed it to Ling Mo, “Take these. Thank you for your hard work along the way.”

If they didn’t have Ling Mo and Ye Lian’s help, they probably would’ve all died. At least the street before the hospital was extremely hard to cross.

Ling Mo didn’t take it and shook his head with a smile, expressing that he didn’t need it.

Liu Yuhao wanted to force him to accept it but Wang Cheng unnoticeably stopped him with a smile. “Brother Ling is skilled and there’s no way that he needs our food, right? It’s fine if he doesn’t want them.”

Liu Yuhao had no choice but to give up after seeing Ling Mo’s firm attitude.
