Chapter 1038: Dont Underestimate the Power of a Scream

“So soon?”

Ling Mo rushed to the edge of the rooftop and looked down.

The streets below were already packed with Hellforged Monsters and Zombies, attacking each other while squeezing into the building. Some Monsters, unable to enter through the doors, were climbing the exterior walls, rapidly ascending. Given the building’s height, it would only be a matter of seconds before the first Monster claws reached Ling Mo’s current position…

“This is way too many…” Mu Chen and the others had also retreated to the rooftop, their faces heavy with concern as they witnessed the chilling scene. If they were held up by these Monsters, even for just a second, they would be facing an endless wave of hundreds, thousands of Monsters… In such a scenario, no one could guarantee their survival.

“Stop dawdling, let’s move!” Ling Mo quickly turned his gaze away and said, “Is the door secured? What about the stairwell?”

“All taken care of. At least for the first five seconds after they reach the top floor, they shouldn’t be able to get in here,” Ye Kai shouted back.

“That’s enough! Ye Lian!” Ling Mo turned to Ye Lian.

Ye Lian nodded in understanding and led the group to the other side of the rooftop. From here, looking diagonally downward, they could see another building. However, the height difference between the two buildings was nearly ten meters, and the gap was over five meters wide. Even if they landed safely, the only viable landing spot was a triangular area on the rooftop. Under such circumstances, a normal person would need considerable courage to make the jump.

But when thousands of Monsters surrounded the entire building, that courage became unnecessary. After jumping off this rooftop, they could reach another building… The subsequent buildings were all adjacent residential blocks. The distance was no issue for most of the Miracle Squad, who were either Zombies or had Enhancement abilities.

The route Ye Lian chose was the only lifeline for Ling Mo and his group, who were trapped in this dire situation.

The only question was…

Who would be faster, the Monsters or Ling Mo’s group?

But at this moment, no one wanted to dwell on that question… Their focus was on taking each step carefully to escape alive…

“We can help from below,” Xia Na suggested.

Xu Shuhan nodded, “Yes. Just do your best to jump over.”

Zhang Xincheng hoisted Skinny Monkey onto his back and said, “I’ll carry him down.”

“Since we have support, everyone jump on your own!” Ye Kai declared.

“Alright! Let’s not waste any time, jump!” Yuwen Xuan shouted, releasing a burst of sparks and “flying” towards the rooftop below. Zhang Xincheng followed suit, swiftly climbing down like a nimble gecko. As he neared the other side, he leaped and grabbed the rooftop railing with one hand.

Seeing the three had landed successfully, Ye Kai and the others also jumped towards the rooftop. The Female Zombies appeared effortlessly graceful, even Black Silk managed to jump down on its own, leaving those who had landed earlier momentarily stunned.

Ling Mo was about to move when he noticed Gu Shuangshuang still standing there, looking terrified as she gazed downward, her body trembling slightly. In the rush of everyone jumping down one after another, no one had noticed her…

“Are you afraid of heights?” Ling Mo asked.

“A little… I… I never dared to ride those drop towers before,” Gu Shuangshuang replied, suddenly veering off-topic. Seeing Ling Mo remain silent, she looked as if she was about to cry, waving her hands apologetically, “Really… I… I can’t jump… I’m sorry… I…”

“It’s okay,” Ling Mo interrupted, pulling her into his embrace. As Gu Shuangshuang widened her eyes, Ling Mo asked above her head, “Can you scream?”

“Wha… what?”

“If you’re afraid of heights, you should scream while swinging in mid-air, right?” Ling Mo asked.

Still caught in her embarrassment, Gu Shuangshuang asked blankly, “Swing… swing what?”

“Don’t worry, just scream as loud as you can. Here we go!” Before she could react, Ling Mo had already stepped onto the edge with her and leapt forward. 𝙧𝐀₦ÓβΕś

“Aaaaaah!”

Gu Shuangshuang shut her eyes tight in fear, letting out a high-pitched scream. Instantly, not only the Monsters climbing the building but also those on the street, including Zombies, looked up towards the sky.

Ling Mo swung back and forth in the air with Gu Shuangshuang, her screams echoing continuously.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a window on the top floor burst open, and a Monster cloaked in black fog lunged out, roaring at Ling Mo and Gu Shuangshuang nearby, “Roar!”

“Haha…” Ling Mo swung back with Gu Shuangshuang, and amidst her screams, he kicked the Monster square in the face. The force from the swing sent the Monster flying, knocking down several others behind it.

Before they reached the window, their bodies were pulled back, soaring directly towards the rooftop.

“Roar roar!”

Several Monsters once again emerged from the window, reaching out in an attempt to grab them… However, with their menacing claws waving in the air, Ling Mo and Gu Shuangshuang had already landed on the rooftop opposite.

“Alright, alright, you can stop screaming now. Those Monsters have given up on Rosen Company,” Ling Mo said, patting Gu Shuangshuang who was clinging tightly to him.

As soon as they landed, Ling Mo received several meaningful glances… including one from Xu Shuhan. But the Host quickly turned away as if nothing had happened when their eyes met.

Ye Lian and the three girls remained indifferent, and even Yu Shiran and Black Silk seemed to ignore the situation. It appeared that as long as it wasn’t a fellow Zombie, they wouldn’t consider it a “threat.” Xia Na did glance at them, but upon seeing Ling Mo’s awkward expression, she couldn’t help but flash a mischievous smile and ignored his pleading look.

“Xia Na!” Ling Mo shouted internally, then spoke to Gu Shuangshuang again, “It’s okay now…”

Gu Shuangshuang finally stopped screaming. She slowly released him, opened her eyes to look around, and then suddenly lunged at him again, exclaiming, “That was awesome!”

“Huh?” Ling Mo was ready to comfort her, but was surprised by her sudden outburst.

“It was so thrilling! We were flying over those Monsters’ heads, right? They were all watching us, weren’t they? Ahhh…”

Ling Mo struggled a bit, then looked at Mu Chen and the others with wide eyes.

Mu Chen silently shook his head, mouthing, “I don’t know anything… You handle it yourself…”

But within seconds, Gu Shuangshuang came to her senses, blushing as she released Ling Mo and whispered apologetically, “Sorry…”

“Ahem… Let’s move out,” Ling Mo coughed lightly and said. He glanced at Gu Shuangshuang inadvertently, catching her sneaking a peek at him with lowered eyes, and couldn’t help but pause for a moment. But quickly, he shifted his gaze and rubbed his temples in frustration… Next time he comes up with such a plan, he should definitely be more cautious…

As Ling Mo had anticipated, Gu Shuangshuang’s screams had redirected the Monsters and Zombies towards this building. While some Monsters were already climbing mid-air, more flooded into the building, Ling Mo and his group swiftly moved to another adjacent rooftop…

However, due to the urgency, they couldn’t block the stairway to prevent the Monsters from reaching the rooftop this time. So Ling Mo and the others barely paused before leaping to the next building. As they passed, Monsters surged out from the rooftop door, instantly swarming the entire rooftop and jumping towards the adjacent rooftop…

But more Monsters and Zombies remained inside the building and in mid-air, making it inevitable that the Monsters following Ling Mo and his group would gradually decrease as they jumped down from one building to another…

“Escaped?” On a distant street, a sewer cover was slightly lifted, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes. “No matter… next time… we’ll meet again.”

After gazing in the direction Ling Mo and the others had left, the cover was slowly placed back, and those eyes vanished completely beneath the ground… For Ling Mo, this scene was actually playing out for the second time… Only, last time he didn’t know, and this time, he still didn’t know…

Meanwhile, on another distant street, a figure stood atop a deserted high-rise building. Her vacant gaze seemed eternally fixed in one direction, and her face and hands, resembling those of a Porcelain Doll, were splattered with fresh blood… Yet, despite this, she appeared entirely non-threatening…

Behind her, within the balcony, and throughout the living room… dozens of Zombie corpses lay scattered, each with the back of their heads a bloody mess…

The figure sat on the balcony railing, her legs dangling in the air. As she licked the blood from her fingers, she gazed far ahead, her view extending over the desolate city below and the tall weeds, reaching towards an even more distant horizon…

“Ling Mo…”
