The long silence almost choked them. Xia Na’s words and her lifeless eyes made Ling Mo heart sink to the bottom as it became heavy.

“I’d rather die… Than become a zombie…” Xia Na whispered blankly, standing up slowly at the same time as she held onto the bed frame. Liu Yuhao stared at her blankly as he was obviously in dread shock.

When she was knocked unconscious, her long sword was left behind. Quickly, she shifted her glance to Liu Yuhao. Firmness flashed across her eyes as she abruptly seized the butcher knife from Liu Yuhao’s hand.

When she moved, Ling Mo snapped back and seized the knife away from her. Xia Na was exhausted and she couldn’t stop Ling Mo.

“I don’t want to become a zombie! I don’t want to become a monster like that!” Xia Na’s eyes became blank again. She crazily pushed Ling Mo and attempted to seize the knife in Ling Mo’s hands.

However, Ling Mo threw the knife onto the ground fiercely. He grabbed Xia Na’s shoulder and convinced her firmly, “Don’t do anything stupid! Aren’t you still fine? We’ll find a way!”

“Argh! Give me the knife, give it to me!”

Xia Na couldn’t hear Ling Mo’s words but screamed hysterically. Ling Mo had no point but to knock her unconscious on the back of her head and hold her limp body in his arms.

“Infected… Xia Na…” Liu Yuhao suddenly stood up as he trembled, unable to speak fluently as he looked at Xia Na in disbelief.

Even Wang Cheng’s face turned pale. Without Xia Na, there was almost zero chance for him to live as a ‘worm’ again.

“Xia Na will become… become… something like Lu Xin?” Liu Yuhao suddenly shifted his glance to Ling Mo and murmured.

Indeed, Lu Xin looked scarier than zombies and if she really became like that, even Ling Mo wouldn’t be able to accept it, let alone Xia Na. Ling Mo sighed secretly when he saw Liu Yuhao’s eyes as he was on the verge of a breakdown. He spoke slowly, “Calm down. The one who’s feeling the worst is Xia Na. Don’t you want to think of something for her?’

“A way?” Liu Yuhao immediately came to a realization after hearing Ling Mo’s words. However, tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably. “What can we possibly do…”

“According to Lu Xin’s situation, from the time we parted with him, we can roughly calculate that we still have another half an hour from the infection to symptoms appearing. Anyway, we should try to think of something within half an hour. Trying is better than sitting here waiting for death.” Compared to Liu Yuhao who was on the verge of a breakdown, Ling Mo was much calmer. An important factor was that there was a mutated zombie right to him right now, Ye Lian.

Thus, to Ling Mo, there was hope if she became a zombie, but there was nothing he could do if she began to rot.

“Why don’t I… Cut her hand off…” Fierceness flashed across Liu Yuhao’s eyes as he suggested.

Ling Mo shook his head. “It’s useless. It’s been quite a while already.”

“Then what else can we do?” Liu Yuhao’s expressions became dull again.
