Chapter 72 - Zombie Nest

The warehouse was pretty nicely decorated. Although it was gloomy, the area wasnt moist.

Ling Mo allowed Ye Lian to release Shi Bin while he unceremoniously sat on the only single bed within the room.

Ling Mos vision was still somewhat obstructed and his eyes continued to hurt. He wouldnt feel better unless he rested for a while, I pay my respects to your pepper. Now, I plan to rest here for a while and think about how you can compensate me for my losses.

Didnt you already hit Shi Bin? And it looks like it wasnt just once either. Now, youre asking for compensation as well The girl sounded somewhat helpless, but Ling Mo was far too powerful. With no way of resisting, whatever objections she raised would naturally have no effect.

However, what she said was true. Not only was Shi Bin beaten up, after he was released, both of his arms moved in a very awkward manner and he had a limp in his stride.

Shi Bin vigilantly gazed at Ling Mo before slowly walking towards the girl. Although he brushed past Ye Lian and Shana, he seemed to have lost all thoughts of resisting. He had no way of contending against these two frail looking girls.

Whats more, his sharpening steel was still in Ling Mos hands. To an ordinary person like him, taking away his weapon was as good as eliminating all of his fighting strength.

But when Shi Bin stretched out his hand to help the girl up, she shook her head and rejected him. Shi Bin didnt insist on helping her up either. He probably understood her personality very well. Ling Mo observed them with the cool eye of a bystander from the side. He felt that this girl was probably the type of person who was tenacious and strong-willed. However, her tone was gentle when she spoke, completely different from the impression gave off when she took action. Once she restrained her relentless and sharp aura, thered be no way of telling that she was a psychic.

Although Ling Mo was able to completely able to block her first attack and he had his guard up due to Ye Lians special reaction, he still almost fell prey to her assault. From this, it could be seen that absolutely no one would look down on her strength if she were able to recover her health.

The girl supported herself up with great difficulty and slowly walked over to Ling Mos side. She then sat on the bed and said, You dont mind, right? As you can see, Im unwell.

I dont mind. Ling Mo secretly thought to himself, How could I mind if youre not bothered? After all, the one who cant resist now isnt me, but you

Shi Bin hurriedly and nervously followed her over. He glared at Ling Mo, but having learned from his past experiences, he didnt dare to get too close to Ling Mo, and neither did he dare to display his hostility too openly, which Ling Mo found rather hilarious.

While exchanging blows with Shi Bin, Ling Mo had already discovered that his ambushing abilities were passable and he was prudent. But, making him go out onto the streets and face numerous zombies would probably be too much for him.

Looking at the amount of food hed collected, Ling Mo could tell that he did indeed lack the ability to face zombies head on. The girls weak body didnt permit her to leave the premises either. From the looks of it, shed been putting up with her suffering all this while. Falling sick at the end of the world was a very grave matter since there werent any doctors. It was also difficult to find the appropriate medicine. This was especially so when one had to go out in search of medicine but lacked the strength to do so. In that case, their fate would be left to divine providence. But looking at the girls current state, she likely wouldnt be able to do so.

However, Ling Mo always felt that Shi Bins reactions were a bit too excessive, which probably had something to do with what happened the previous time.

The girl suddenly stretched out her hand towards Ye Lian and said, Actually, I do have some recollection of that big sister.

Ling Mo was stunned for a moment. Soon after, he gave the girl another glance and said, Did you study at X City University as well?

Correct. If my memory serves me right, she should be the campus belle. The girl gave a faint smile and said, My name is Lin Luanqiu, a first year in the English faculty. Shi Bin is part of the physical education faculty. Dont think ill of him, he actually has a really good personality. Only, he might be a bit too oversensitive.

Shi Bin wasnt the least bit angry even after hearing Lin Luanqiu say such a thing about him. Instead, he fiercely said, Im not being oversensitive, it was those people from before

Ling Mo had roughly guessed what happened after hearing Shi Bin repeatedly talk about it. This girl probably ran into a group like the baldys posse in the past.

If that were really the case, Shi Bins way of looking at other survivors especially males like they were a threat was understandable.

One had to understand that at the end of the world, tensions amongst everyone were as taut as a bowstring. This was especially so when disaster first struck. At that point, even Ling Mo as at a loss of what to do, living in a daze from day to day. He was like a rat desperately trying to survive. There might be some people left in the world with good personalities, but they were definitely in the minority. Ling Mo was only able to cross this hurdle because he had Ye Lian in his heart. Others who werent able to overcome this tribulation would instead have their hearts twisted because of this.

Although most people still seemed normal on the surface, theyd sink into hysteria once their fragile psyche was provoked.

Shi Bin was probably one such case, while Lin Luanqiu, on the other hand, had clearly crossed this threshold.

Ive already told you theyre not that kind of people Thats right, why are you guys here? Did you escape from X City University as well? Lin Luanqiu enquired once again. Her tone was calm, it was as if she wasnt the least bit concerned about Ling Mo doing anything.

Ling Mo shook his head and said, No, I plan to enter X City University. Did you guys escape from there?

Shi Bin gave a snort and responded, Lin Luanqiu and I escaped from there a few days ago.

I advise you not to go, Lin Luanqiu had a complicated look in her eyes, With your level of strength, escaping to the suburban areas with those two girls shouldnt be too difficult. At that time, you can look for a remote place to settle down and stock up on some food. After which, you just need to hold out till the nation sends someone out to help. Although no one has come yet, and all information about the outside world has been cut off, I still feel that the nation would be able to pull together a force to help us out.

Lin Luanqiu really was an intelligent girl, but how could she know that the two girls who stoodbeside Ling Mo were, in fact, zombies. Although the suburban area had zombies, the number of mutated zombies there was little, let alone advanced zombies. Without gels, they wouldnt be able to survive.

As a result, Lin Luanqius well-intentioned advice was rejected by Ling Mo with a shake of his head, I have some things to do there so I need to get in. Since you guys escaped from there, could you tell me how things are like inside? Ill consider it my compensation if you explain the situation to me in detail.

Cough cough Lin Luanqiu coughed once again, an unhealthy shade of red surfacing on her face. Ling Mo couldnt help but feel his heart clench when he looked at her, genuinely worried that she might cough herself to death.

Previously, she took action without hesitation to save Shi Bin. Because of that, she probably used up all her strength. Her actions from before might have even worsened her illness.

This caused Shi Bin to glare at Ling Mo in anger when she started coughing.

Ling Mo rolled his eyes on the inside as he quietly thought to himself If you werent dishonest with me, I wouldnt have gone as far as to drag you in and Lin Luanqiu wouldnt have had to take action

Lin Luanqiu managed to catch her breath after coughing for quite a while. Lin Luanqiu slowly said, Thats works too. Shi Bin was in the wrong just now and I took action when I wasnt clear of the situation either. Im at fault too.

Youre in luck, Lin Luanqiu was a core member of the volunteer rescuers in X City University. Shes the most knowledgeable when it comes to the schools circumstances. Shi Bin thoughtlessly added on, causing Lin Luanqiu to cast a withering gaze at him.

Inwardly, Ling Mo thought that while Shi Bin was rather skilled, but his brain wasnt all that sharp. With their inferior position at present, saying that she was part of the volunteer rescuers wouldnt be able to scare anyone at all. Instead, it completely revealed their hand.

On top of that, she wouldnt have fallen to such a state if she really did keep in contact with the volunteer rescuers.

After what Shi Bin said, Lin Luanqiu could only helplessly give a summarized version of her background. Shi Bin is correct, I was part of the volunteer rescuers in the past. But only consist of some students and teachers that we gathered together for the time being. Once I found out about my psychic powers, I was pulled in to be part of their executives. But unlike them, I didnt have any ulterior motives. I only wanted to lend a hand till help arrived.

It was normal for such a big school to have a volunteer rescue team. After nodding his head, Ling Mo asked once again, Roughly how many survivors and zombies are left within X City University?

Lin Luanqiu looked vexed as she considered Ling Mos question. After giving it some thought, she said, Based on X City Universitys statistics in the past, there are roughly 55,000 students. Taking into consideration those who werent in school at the time, coupled with those that fled, Id wager that the number of survivors and zombies left would be around 40,000.

That number was already very terrifying, but Ling Mo was filled with satisfaction instead. A large number of zombies would increase the chances of a mutated or even an advanced zombie appearing.

I dont have a definite statistic for the number of zombies in there, but my guess is that there are more than 30,000 of them. As for the number of survivors, theres probably around 3,000 of them. Lin Luanqiu gave a relatively precise estimation after immersing herself in silence for awhile.

30,000! Coming to X City University was indeed the right choice! How many mutated zombies would there be with so many zombies around?

Entering X City University meant that one would be entering a nest of zombies. Although the danger there was great, the number of viral gels to be had was unequaled as well!

Does your volunteer rescue team have enough members to look after 3,000 people? Although Ling Mo felt that this definitely wouldnt be the case, he couldnt help but ask anyway.

Lin Luanqiu laughed and shook her head, No way. Thered be more confusion once we increased the number of personnel. And, we lack the ability to direct such a large operation. We basically just disperse to the various areas of the school. The group that Im in, for instance, has only 30 people. But, the number of supplies that weve been able to find have been growing increasingly little, so I and a few other people left in search of a way out. Little did we expect to run into somewhat of a mishap

Speaking up to this point, a trace of grief flashed across her eyes as if she wasnt willing to go any further.

Doesnt this mean that youre very familiar with this route? Ling Mos eyes twinkled, but he immediately gave a wry laugh and shook his head after giving it a little more thought. With Lin Luanqius body, even bringing her away might be too much for her,

In truth, Ling Mo did want someone to lead the way. While the zombies he controlled could find a path, in the end, it was still the same his him slowly searching for a way through. With a campus this big, searching from place to place like a headless housefly would definitely be more troublesome.

But he hadnt expected to run into a survivor from X City University so quickly, so he hadnt thought of this possibility.

However at present, although hed met Lin Luanqiu and Shi Bin, one of them had an ailing body. Although the others body was decent, their brain wasnt all that sharp

In some ways, these two complement one another very well Ling Mo somewhat maliciously thought to himself.
