Chapter 53 - New Shelter (2/2)

He hasn’t smelt the richness of warm food for a long time…

Instant noodles were something that those who stayed at home all day long ate, but it was extremely alluring to Ling Mo at the moment. Even Xia Na and Ye Lian were attracted by the smell and looked over a few times.

When the noodles just finished cooking, Ling Mo couldn’t wait and picked it up. He blew onto the noodles and sucked the noodles in.

“Ahhh… Awesome!”

It was extremely luxurious for survivors to have a bowl of hot instant noodles like this.

It was ironic. He had to consider too much before the apocalypse. Although he lived in a safe environment, he rarely felt satisfied. Now that he was living surrounded by danger where he might lose his life anytime, he was extremely excited by a bowl of noodles.

Living on was the only thing a survivor had to consider. But to Ling Mo, making Ye Lian and Xia Na regain their intelligence was more important than living on.

After he finished eating, he cleaned up simply and sat next to Ye Lian.

Although he ran around for the whole day, neither Ye Lian nor Xia Na looked tired. It wasn’t hard to understand; when zombies didn’t fight, they didn’t consume a lot of energy. Despite fighting a lot on the way here, most of the time Ling Mo controlled the zombies first and they only had to give them a fatal blow.

Xia Na’s performance was surprising to Ling Mo. He could only maintain his connection with Xia Na and he couldn’t control his actions which made him troubled. However, perhaps she regained some of her consciousness since Xia Na learned how to work with him during the fights.

She was skilled with her sword and it became part of her instinct to use it. After she regained some intelligence, her ability improved and she demonstrated her advantage with her sword.

Because there was still a connection between them, they were rather coordinated and the collaboration between them wasn’t any worse than that of Ye Lian and him. This was an unexpected surprise for him.

After he watched Xia Na use her sword, he couldn’t bear to see Ye Lian use her bare hands. Although she attacked fast and her fingers were strong, in Ling Mo’s heart, he thought that she shouldn’t be using her slim and delicate fingers for bloody and violent things like this. It was just unaesthetic…

He wanted to give his dagger to Ye Lian, but it was too short and had limited damage. It was fine in normal situations but it was weak in battles. Normal weapons weren’t good enough for Ye Lian. In addition to not being very useful, it may even lower her potential for attack.

Wang Ling’s appearance solved this problem with great timing like sending coal in the snow…

Ling Mo couldn’t help but smile as he pulled out the machete from behind. It was rather suitable for girls. The handle wasn’t long and it was even narrow, crafted in the shape of a crescent. It was rather light as a whole and extremely sharp just by looking at it. Although it wasn’t as good as the dagger in his hands, it was enough to kill zombies.

Although Wang Ling was arrogant, she indeed should be proud of herself for the machete she made. She was so young yet she could forge so well. She should be valued by her family. Also, she was skilled with her sword. It was normal that she wouldn’t put a normal person like him in her eyes.

After Ling Mo taught her a lesson, she wouldn’t only put him in her eyes now. She will surely remember him.

He passed the machete to Ye Lian, controlled her to wave it around a few times and it felt easy and comfortable in hand. Ye Lian finally could stop using her fingers. No matter how strong her fingers were, it was incomparable to weapons.

Ling Mo didn’t lay around and do nothing before it turned dark. He went to the construction site and searched around carefully. He found some lime power and sprinkled them outside the room with zombies in it. He went outside and found a steel pipe to block the entrance of the unit. It was much better than a lock.

After Ling Mo finished doing these, it was completely dark. The city became the zombies’ world again and all the survivors probably returned to their hideouts.

In the room, Ye Lian combined two intact mattresses together under his control and flipped the cotton wadding, putting it on top.

“I guess we’ll just have to sleep together tonight!”
