Although Xia Na was confused as to why Ye Lian stayed, she couldn't deny that she was astonished when she saw Ling Mo's calm smile when they backed off.
As for the others, they all had different thoughts…
But no matter what, many were touched by Ling Mo risking his life to help them with this. A few of them even felt ashamed of themselves and regretted that trying to exclude Ling Mo.
Ling Mo remained where he was standing, but he wasn't thinking of this in his brain. He could ignore others' opinions towards him, especially those who were unrelated to him. The most important thing was to do what he wanted to do without regrets.
But the thing was, was it even life-threatening to Ling Mo?
The answer was obviously no. Ling Mo would never do anything that would risk his life if he knew he had a choice! No matter how attractive the heroism complex was, he wouldn't let blood rush to his head and give away his life in vain.
Ling Mo waited until Xia Na and the others were out of sight before rubbing his nose and walking into a mobile phone shop like he was shopping.
When they had arrived there, a few zombies heard the noise and rushed out, but Xia Na killed them, leaving their bodies lying at the front door. Ling Mo left Ye Lian outside and stepped over the zombies into the shop.
Since the disaster broke out, all public facilities lost their function, including communications. However, Ling Mo wasn't looking for an ordinary phone, but fake phones which could also be called portable speakers!
Luckily this shop didn't specifically sell big brands, but it sold all sorts of phones. Ling Mo dug through the messy counter and found a few phones with sufficient battery before walking out satisfyingly.
Now that he had speakers, he could throw it on the ground to attract some zombies, but it was hard to attract all the zombies on this street. If he did that, it would also be quite dangerous to himself. Once the speaker was turned on, all zombies would crowd over there. Although Ye Lian would be fine standing in a crowd of zombies, where could he run?
Since he decided to step up himself, he must do his best. Otherwise, wouldn't he waste the supernatural power he had?
Indeed, to ordinary people, it was a mission that was almost a hundred percent sure to get themselves killed. But to Ling Mo, it was too easy…
First, he carefully moved a little closer to the street and controlled three zombies with his control power.
But he didn't know where Xia Na and the others were, he picked a corner and made three zombies go to him to prevent the others from seeing.
"Here, one each."
Ling Mo smiled eerily and gave those phones to the zombies.
He intentionally picked young and strong teenage zombies because they could move faster.
Ling Mo checked the situation on the street and controlled the zombies to go back with phones in their hands. As for him, he hid in a dead-end with Ye Lian and calculated the distance between him and the zombie puppets in his heart.
Logically speaking, the distance should decrease as he controlled three zombies at the same time, but after evolving, Ling Mo's consciousness was much stronger than before.
Thirty meters… Fifty meters… A hundred meters… A hundred and fifty meters… Three hundred!
Ling Mo frowned and wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead with a pale face, "The limit is three hundred meters… And they can almost break away from my control, but it's more than enough."
Ling Mo shifted his glance to the hospital not far from him and immediately had a plan.
The straight line distance between him and the hospital was no more than a hundred meters…
"Start!"
Ling Mo controlled two zombies and made them walk towards the end of the street as much as possible and finally stopped when his head was about to explode. The moment when the zombie pressed the play button, Ling Mo felt like he was going to faint.
Fake phones nowadays were all equipped with that one song, it was definitely loud enough!
After the zombie pressed the play button, there was a short blank before a deafening voice sounded, "Jigeumbuteo gal dekkaji gabolkka! Kka! Kka! Kka! Kka! (1)"
As soon as the music began to play, the zombie immediately swung its arms and sprinted towards the front door of the hospital like an arrow leaving the bow.
The wandering zombies on the street shifted their attention to the human form speaker at once. Ling Mo wasn't sure what their hissing meant but they immediately flung themselves towards the human form speaker.
As Ling Mo guessed, there were too many zombies on the street, and the zombie puppet was barely halfway there before being tripped over by other zombies, the music also soon disappeared.
But it was fine, Ling Mo already gave up trying to control this zombie and the moment when the music disappeared, the second phone immediately played.
The same music, the same movement, but it attracted more zombies from a further distance and brought those zombies wandering afar from them here.
The place that was only a hundred meters away from Ling Mo was densely packed with zombies in a brief moment!
As the third phone rang, the direction of the music wasn't amongst the zombies, but it was at the hospital's front door!
When Ling Mo controlled the other two zombies, he also made the third zombie go to the front door of the hospital and pressed the play button the moment the second phone was destroyed.
A large wave of zombies charged towards the hospital all of a sudden and the magnificent sight made Ling Mo tremble as he watched through the third zombie's perspective.
These zombies were different from those in the movies; they were fast and fierce. It was extremely shocking to watch such a large wave of zombies charging at him!
But when Ling Mo saw that the crowd of zombies began to move, he immediately made the third zombie sprint into the hospital.
There were many zombies in the hospital as well. Although the third zombie hopped from left to right under Ling Mo's control, it was blocked by other zombies in the outpatient service hall.
Perhaps it was different for living humans to experience what it felt like being chased by hundreds of people, and they for sure won't know how it felt to see countless hands reaching out towards them, not to mention the feeling of watching themselves getting torn into pieces. But in order to buy as much time as possible, Ling Mo had to bear it.
It was a little fortune out of the misfortunes that zombies couldn't feel pain…
During the process, the phone in its hands almost fell out numerous times but Ling Mo utilised his power to the max and bought them quite a few minutes by switching controlled targets!
A few minutes were short, however, when he was stuck with hundreds of zombies, it was enough for him to be torn into pieces by more than a hundred zombies.
To Ling Mo, it was an extreme challenge to his power of consciousness and reaction speed.
As for Xia Na and the others, they froze in the wind in the moment when the "divine tune(2)" started to play.
"Isn't he looking for death?!" Xia Na clenched her teeth angrily. She grabbed her sword and dashed out of the building they were hiding in before the others had a chance to stop her.
But when she saw what happened on the street, she was astonished.
She had only seen hundreds of zombies rushing towards one direction when the disaster initially broke out and had since then rarely seen such things… It was hard to imagine that this was man-made!
Momentarily, Xia Na was surprised and happy, but she was also worried!
But right now wasn't the time to worry … She slashed a few zombies that were attracted to the sound backhandedly and immediately ran back upstairs, "It's time, let's go!"
"This fast?"
"Can we really cross?"
"Shut up, he's risking his life to do this for us, hurry up!"
However, the street wasn't empty because of it. Instead, it lured out other zombies who were hiding in the shadows. Ling Mo eventually lured a majority of zombies into the hospital and avoided attracting more hidden zombies as much as possible.
Although the street wasn't entirely safe, it was much easier to cross compared to before.
Xia Na dashed onto the street with others but there was no sight of Ling Mo, she only noticed that the majority of zombies had dashed into the hospital.
Did Ling Mo and Ye Lian go into the hospital? Isn't he looking for death?
Xia Na stomped in panic but she couldn't leave the others behind. When she was deciding what to do, she saw a sweating Ling Mo sprinting out of an alley with an expressionless Ye Lian.
"Go! Hurry! I'm at my limit!"
As soon as Ling Mo finished his words, a tremendous loud bang sounded from the hospital's direction and countless glass shards fell down from the second floor along with more than ten zombies. At the same time, the hospital's front door wholly shattered. Some zombies immediately noticed Xia Na and the others and charged at them.
"Go!"
Xia Na didn't have time to ask further and even without her urging, these people would run for their lives.
If they were dragged behind, they would get caught up in the desperate situation of being surrounded by hundreds of zombies!
