But after waiting for more than ten minutes, Xia Na still stared at Ling Mo blankly without any reactions. Luckily, her body didn’t mutate further other than her eyes, which became blood red. Ling Mo finally relaxed a little as her body didn’t start to rot.

“There’s nothing we can do. We should leave first.”

Ling Mo sighed helplessly and dragged Xia Na up. Of course, Ling Mo tried to control her before moving her to check if she was still conscious or not. A strong force bounced back, giving Ling Mo a headache and joy at the same time. The slightest intellect meant that she wasn’t completely a zombie yet.

After all, a normal person and a zombie’s mental state was very different. Normal people knew how to think and their emotions would fluctuate, but zombies were like machines that are driven by their instincts. He could only control Xia Na for an instant was because she was completely driven by her instinct, which meant that her self awareness was at the lowest point.

Although Xia Na didn’t have any reactions, her consciousness activities were still normal. It was impossible for Ling Mo to control her under these circumstances.

Considering their safety, Ling Mo controlled Ye Lian as both of them pulled one of Xia Na’s arms each, carrying her. Even if she became wild way back, she wasn’t going to be able to harm anyone with him and Ye Lian here.

“Brother Ling, where are you taking Xia Na?” Liu Yuhao completely ran out of ideas and asked helplessly.

Ling Mo turned around and glanced at him. “It’s too dangerous here. The smell of blood will attract zombies in the school. If something happens to Xia Na again, how do we cope with it? We should find a safer shelter first.”

“Right, you are right…” Liu Yuhao froze for a second and quickly nodded. Then, he added sincerely, “Brother Ling, and Sister Ye Lian, thank you both.”

This “thank you” included too much and Ling Mo smiled without saying anything. As for Ye Lian, she was a mutated zombie and although they couldn’t see it by her appearance alone, she didn’t react to Liu Yuhao’s words at all.

Luckily, that Liu Yuhao didn’t mind and his impression of Ye Lian was that she was an introverted big sister.

When they passed a dorm, Liu Yuhao suddenly asked Ling Mo to wait for a while. He ran into the building and quickly sprinted back with Xia Na’s long sword and panted, “Xia Na made this with her own hands and the quality is great. It’s a shame that she will regret leaving it behind.”

It was true. Not to mention that guns were difficult to find, even if they found some, normal people wouldn’t know how to pull the trigger and aim. The most straightforward problem was that they would be seeking for death if they use guns in an area packed with zombies without a suppressor.

In a situation like this, cold weapons were better to use. However, there weren’t a lot of good cold weapons either. Killing zombies wasn’t like butchering pigs. It was easy for the blade to become blunt and even split open if one put too much strength into it. Unlike Ling Mo’s short dagger, it wasn’t only light, but it was extremely sharp with good quality.

Xia Na’s skills of handmade blades were passed down to her as the Wang Family also did. She was rather skilled too. Her long sword looked extraordinary and she was always taking care of it when she had time. She indeed cherished it well.

Liu Yuhao was close to Xia Na and naturally would seek the sword back for her. Although they didn’t know how Xia Na will end up like…

“You treat Xia Na well, lovingly and loyally…” Ling Mo sighed. He did the same for Ye Lian. Even if she became a zombie or even a mutated zombie, he never gave his hopes up.
