Chapter 592 – I Take Pride in My Common Sense
....
While the zombies were still oblivious to the anomaly in their midst, Ling Mo immediately ramped up his output of mental energy to its maximum.
This Berserker was indeed unlucky. Being a zombie and getting ambushed by a human was bad enough, but it was Ling Mo who had him completely restrained.
All that brute strength was useless; he barely managed to put up a desperate fight before he got poked in the eye, which instantly deflated him.
If he could speak, he would certainly have roared in frustration, “Shameless human!!”
But Ling Mo wasn’t going to give him that chance. Adhering to the principle of striking while the enemy is down, Ling Mo’s chokehold intensified considerably.
In the blink of an eye, the Berserker began to roll his eyes back, his body starting to tremble as if electrified.
Just before his strength was entirely drained, the monster suddenly let out a low growl. In a final burst of energy, he shook violently and then charged towards Ling Mo’s hiding place like a bowling ball.
“d.a.m.n!” Ling Mo’s face paled.
His mental Tentacles failed to hold back the Berserker; instead, they were all snapped by the force.
The Berserker turned himself into a human cannonball, “Bang!” slamming heavily into the wall.
With a m.u.f.fled crash, the wall now bore a large hole, and a round, rolling shadow, accompanied by rising dust, crashed directly into the room.
“Arrgh!”
The Berserker flipped over and crawled out of the rubble, swinging his ma.s.sive hands in a frenzy.
After a dozen or so flails, plenty of dust was kicked up, but the expected blood and flesh were nowhere to be seen.
Where was that sneaky human?!
Filled with rage, the Berserker momentarily froze, glaring with his uninjured eye, belly swaying as he searched for his vanished prey.
At that moment, a dark figure quietly approached him from above…
A sudden sense of invisible restraint appeared, and the Berserker tried to shake off his arms only to find himself immobilized once again.
The fat on his neck sunk in deeply, and the sensation of suffocation caused the Berserker to stretch his neck with difficulty.
“Arrgh!”
His ma.s.sive hands clawed frantically, attempting to pull down the cunning a.s.sailant.
But before he could muster another effort, a sharp object had already pierced his other eye.
“Die, die, die!”
Ling Mo, sweating profusely, hung above the Berserker’s head, stabbing the monster’s eye repeatedly with a tactical knife.
Like some Mutated Beasts, this mutated zombie had an invisible protective film over its eyes, making it difficult to burst through with either tentacle or knife.
In that case, it was better to just use the knife, saving some mental power…
Repeatedly stabbing like this, even if he couldn’t break through, the pain would be enough to kill him.
Two minutes later, the Berserker finally fell backward with a “thud.”
His eyes had turned into two b.l.o.o.d.y, mangled holes, and a deep b.l.o.o.d.y gash marked his neck…
“Phew!”
Ling Mo landed from the air, glanced at the blood-stained tactical knife, and then at the Berserker.
“…Great, now I have to do the digging…”
He took a deep breath, then squatted down to start searching through the corpse…
…
As soon as the automatic bomb thrower stopped, the pressure on the bus decreased sharply.
Without the cover of the flying bombs, the zombies alone couldn’t breach the bus for the time being.
Mu Chen let out a long sigh of relief. His heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled back into place.
If it hadn’t been for Ling Mo, who knows what would have happened next…
Although Mu Chen often felt annoyed by Ling Mo, he had to admit that he was actually somewhat impressed by him right now.
Ling Mo had single-handedly broken out of the zombie encirclement and successfully ambushed their lead zombie. His strength and determination were not something ordinary people could match.
Mu Chen had even felt a pang of nervousness when he saw the Berserker crash into the house…
But then, seeing Shana’s calm demeanor, he realized he had worried too much.
This situation might have been dangerous for someone else, but for Ling Mo… how could that guy go down so easily?
When Mu Chen had a chance to glance outside, sure enough, he saw that the house had returned to calm. Shortly after, a figure climbed in through the hole in the roof of the car.
“Done.”
No sooner had Ling Mo spoken than a m.u.f.fled shout came from the front of the bus.
“Let’s go!”
Ling Mo’s face showed a hint of surprise, and he gestured with his hand.
But Mu Chen hesitated for a moment. Why did that voice sound… odd?
…
A few minutes earlier, Ye Lian, Li Ya Lin, and Xia Zhi had quickly cleared a path at the front of the bus.
Li Ya Lin, the serpentine beauty, was mainly responsible for the action. Her movements were swift and steady, sometimes even giving the illusion that several of her were working at the same time.
Xia Zhi had this very illusion and even rubbed his eyes…
“Hey, what are you doing here?” Li Ya Lin suddenly stopped and turned around to ask.
Ye Lian also turned her head, her large eyes blankly staring at Xia Zhi for a moment.
Xia Zhi felt somewhat uncomfortable blinking, not because he was being stared at by beauties, but because the gaze of these two female zombies gave him a chilling feeling.
Under the dim light, he always felt that there was a faint bloodthirsty gleam in the eyes of the two girls…
“…” Xia Zhi waved his hands silently to convey his message—
Please ignore him…
To emphasize, he waved his hands a couple more times and pulled at the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile uglier than crying.
Ye Lian’s eyes widened a bit more, and after the two female zombies exchanged glances, they suddenly showed a look of realization.
Li Ya Lin moved aside, clearing the debris in front of Xia Zhi and muttered, “Just say it, how would I know you wanted to come if you didn’t say? Go ahead, it’s all yours.”
“Mhm…” Ye Lian nodded in agreement, “We should… make way… for you…”
“Yeah, Ling Mo taught us that.” Li Ya Lin proudly said.
“…”
Xia Zhi’s expression froze, and he subconsciously looked down at his own actions.
Just waving his hands, was it that hard to understand?!
…
As Mu Chen and the others stepped out of the bus, they caught sight of Xia Zhi leaning against the wall.
In just a few short minutes they hadn’t seen him, Xia Zhi’s appearance had almost made Mu Chen’s jaw drop.
“What happened to you!”
Mu Chen’s eyes widened as he exclaimed.
Xu Shuhan fired two shots inside the bus, then took a moment to look back and was momentarily stunned.
“You…”
Xia Zhi was covered in grime, his hands and face smeared with dust. If not for his distinctive dead fish eyes, he might not have been recognized at first glance.
Especially since he was leaning against the wall, looking as exhausted as a dead dog, almost as if he had just crawled out of a trash can.
Seeing the astonished expressions of his companions, Xia Zhi felt like crying but had no tears…
It was bad enough that he had to dig through the rubble alone, but to do so without even the proper tools…
He looked listlessly at the two girls approaching Ling Mo and felt a wave of sorrow.
“They look so cute, why are they so cruel to me!”
Xia Zhi internally wailed, and at that moment, the two girls turned their heads and smiled at him.
“That human is so strange, insisting on letting Ye Lian and me step aside to let him do it alone. Are all humans like this?” Li Ya Lin turned and asked Ling Mo with a smile.
Ling Mo immediately felt a chill and glared at Xia Zhi annoyedly, then corrected the misconception: “No… that kind of m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t is very rare…”
“Oh…” Ye Lian nodded.
“He’s so quiet, but turns out to be so m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic…” Ling Mo grunted.
“But it’s good that you two weren’t tired out,” he added with a smile.
“Yes, we’re very obedient. Whatever you say, let these humans do what they want; it’s better for us to stay out of it,” Li Ya Lin said proudly.
Ling Mo chuckled: “Senior sister learns quickly, indeed. That’s the basic common sense for dealing with these people…”
However, this was just a minor episode. Although they had exited the bus, the danger had not been completely eliminated.
A large number of zombies were eagerly squeezing through the gaps, and although they couldn’t yet breach the house, it wouldn’t take long.
With more zombies continuously drawn to the location, completely annihilating them was impossible.
“Can you guys save flaunting your love for later? Let’s get moving!” Mu Chen roared.
