Chapter 1316: Choice
However, Yuwen Xuanâs call for help went unanswered⊠Ling Moâs attention had already shifted to the captive Old Gou. He could only rely on himself to continue this conversation where the two sides were not even on the same wavelengthâŠ
At this moment, Ling Mo was pinching his chin, scrutinizing the âbatâ Zombie being held by Xia Na and Black Silk.
The latter glared at him fiercely, struggling madly under the restraints of the silver thread.
âLet it sit for now, itâll talk.â Ling Mo stared at it for a couple of seconds, giving up on questioning it for the time being.
In any case, the âtongueâ had been caught, and the details of the cooperation with the Zombie Alliance had already been settled. Ling Mo glanced around, then said, âThere was such a commotion here just now, plus the heavy smell of blood. I bet more zombies will gather soon⊠Letâs get out of here first.â
As soon as he finished speaking, a Dark Shadow suddenly appeared and was thrown from his hand, smashing toward Chuchuâs head.
The Female Zombie reached out and, just as the Dark Shadow was about to hit her head, caught it.
âWhatâs this?â Chuchu frowned as she looked at the strange device in her hand.
âA Communicator. Fully charged, it can be used continuously for a long time. When I get definite Intelligence from this guy and have things arranged, Iâll contact you through it. If you get any Intelligence, you can use it to contact me too-just press the call button.â
As Ling Mo spoke, he waved at her in a familiar way. âSo I wonât say goodbye. We need to leave as soon as possible. Oh, right. Dan Chun is behind that building. I locked a bunch of common zombies in her room just to barely fool you. Although those zombies donât dare attack her, itâs still a small room with too many people, so youâd better go check on her quickly.â
âYouâŠâ Chuchu glanced at Ling Mo, then at the Communicator in her hand. In the end, she restrained the urge to crush it. After a muffled grunt, she turned her head to look behind the collapsed building.
There was a row of residential houses there, nothing special at first glance. If Ling Mo hadnât pointed it out, she never would have thought Dan Chun would be locked up thereâŠ
At this moment, in one of the rooms, Dan Chun was hanging in midair, constantly making âwhimper whimperâ sounds, eyes wide as she stared at the dense crowd of zombies below⊠Ever since the fighting broke out outside, these zombies had been roaring nonstop, going crazy⊠And as a Senior Zombie, she was actually being bounced around like a rubber ball by these low-level peersâŠ
At Ling Moâs mental call, a group of Female Zombies quickly gathered together, including Xiao Bai, the mutation beast.
With no need to hide their identities, this was the first time all the Female Zombies had met together. Xia Na and the others didnât react much, but Xu Shuhan was different. After exclaiming âunbelievableâ countless times with wide eyes, she instinctively took out her recorder and began documenting her shocked impressionsâŠ
âMadman, we can go now.â Ling Mo slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked right up behind Ting without any hesitation.
This axe-wielding Female Zombie immediately shot him an unfriendly look, a hint of a bloodthirsty smile appearing on her face.
Seeing this, Yuwen Xuanâs heart clenched, but he found that Ling Mo acted as if he hadnât noticed at all, clearly not caring in the slightest.
Or⊠was he used to it?
Yuwen Xuan couldnât help but think so.
âOh right, she can come with us,â Ling Mo said.
At this, he even smiled a little. âHonestly, I feel a lot more relaxed now.â
âAh hahaâŠâ Yuwen Xuan also laughed, looking at Ling Mo with a complicated expression. âI know you want to say youâre not alone anymore⊠but who else but you brings not only zombies but also a mutation beast!â
After saying that, Yuwen Xuan fell silent for a moment. Then he suddenly continued, âLing Mo, weâre not the same. I donât really know how to put it, and I know itâs hard for you to explain to me, but Iâm very clear in my heart-our situations are different.â ĆđNá»đÎđŹ
âYouâŠâ Ling Mo opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
After another long silence, Ling Mo finally asked, âSo, youâve made your decision?â
Yuwen Xuan nodded, then looked at Ting, whose gaze had already shifted to a corpse not far away.
âActually, I should have made this decision more than a year ago.â Yuwen Xuan kept looking at her, speaking softly, âBut making a decision is one thing, being able to do it is another. Honestly, Iâve thought more than once about what I would do if I really found her. But the answer was always-I donât know⊠But now, seeing Host Xu, I understand that Iâm actually pretty lucky, because my Brother-in-law can help me, right?â
As he spoke, he turned to Ling Mo with a pleading look. âIf others knew about this, theyâd definitely think I was a madman. But you understand me, donât you? Even if sheâs no longer the person I remember⊠even if sheâs not even human anymore, what do these things matter to us⊠Just because she became a Zombie, Iâm supposed to give up on her, even kill her with my own hands? No, thatâs something neither you nor I could do, right?â
âIâve already made the wrong choice once. This time, I wonât make the same mistake again⊠Ling Mo, help me!â Yuwen Xuan suddenly shouted loudly.
Ling Mo looked at the nearly crazed Yuwen Xuan, then glanced at Ting, who was still staring at the corpse, completely indifferentâŠ
He suddenly recalled the look in Ye Lianâs eyes when he first found her on that BusâŠ
âYouâre right, I understand.â Ling Mo pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
Yuwen Xuan immediately let out a sigh of relief, a trace of gratitude appearing on his face. He lowered his head and murmured, âIâve already done all I can⊠In the future, if I even have a future, Iâll help you too⊠For Yalin, and for what you did for me todayâŠâ
More than ten minutes later, when Ling Mo and his group left this place, he was the only human left in the teamâŠ
âWhereâs Yuwen Xuan?â Xia Na looked around and asked.
Ling Mo weighed a piece of Gel in his hand, glanced back, and said somewhat wistfully, âMaybe weâll meet again soonâŠâ
âŠ
When the area quieted down again, a faint sound suddenly came from the ruins of the collapsed building.
A chunk of concrete trembled slightly twice, then a blood-soaked hand stretched out from underneath.
âI heard it⊠I heard everythingâŠâ a hoarse voice muttered lowly, âDamn humans, damn humans! The ones in Central City wonâtâŠâ
A burst of footsteps suddenly interrupted it, and soon, a pair of feet appeared outside the crack.
âAre you from Central City?â a voice asked.
The hoarse voice hesitated, then replied, âYes.â
âYou just mentioned humans⊠What exactly happened?â the voice continued.
The hoarse voice thought for a moment, then asked, âIf I tell you, will you help me?â
âOf course.â
The hoarse voice no longer hesitated and recounted everything it had heard.
âI see⊠His actions really are completely unpredictableâŠâ
âYou know this human?â The hoarse voice couldnât help but ask as it listened to the Zombieâs muttering, urging anxiously, âAlright, get me out first, I have toâŠâ
Bang!
As the concrete slab crashed down, the hoarse voice was instantly silenced by the dull thud.
Watching the blood slowly seep out from the crack, the Zombie lifted the foot that had seemed to step lightly on it.
âA Zombie too stupid to even state its demands clearly is better off dead. Besides, interesting things shouldnât be interrupted by you.â
After murmuring softly to itself, the Zombie looked up toward the other end of the street: âCooperation⊠Ling Mo, what exactly are you trying to do?â
The distant figure asking this question was exactly the one that had appeared in the mountain TownâŠ
The only difference was, this figure seemed a bit younger than that oneâŠ
But their tone and demeanor were exactly the sameâŠ
âWeâll meet soon, Ling Mo, very soonâŠâ the figure said softly.
âŠ
âSo youâre saying, this Panda and those two Zombies have actually been following us all along? Thatâs so strange, I just canât believe itâŠâ At this moment, Xu Shuhan was following Ling Mo, firing off questions nonstop. After calming down from her shock, she suddenly became extremely curious. After all, Senior Zombies could still communicate, or you could explain it as âMateâ, but mutation beasts were different. And seeing how Xiao Bai willingly carried Ling Mo, it even seemed quite close to him. Ignoring those red eyes, it almost behaved no differently from those Pandas that used to make a living by acting cute.
But after witnessing this mutation beastâs body suddenly swell up a few minutes ago, and its terrifying state as it slapped a common zombie into a pulp, Xu Shuhan understood that this guy definitely wasnât friendly just because it was cute. Probably, except for Ling Mo, its reaction to everyone else would be to slap them to death, right?
âLing Mo, how did you manage to gather such a team? Are you planning to organize a Zombie Legion? Who was the first Zombie you lured? Do you have any other Zombie companions hidden away?â
Xu Shuhanâs questions came one after another, and the person she was questioning couldnât help but show a troubled expression.
Who would have thought that after being exposed for the first time, what heâd have to face wasnât slaughter or suspicion, nor the dilemma of balancing between humans and Zombies⊠but how to deal with this Female Zombie who still retained her occupational habitsâŠ
