Since encountering Ye Lian who had turned into a zombie, Ling Mo had been continuously experiencing a painful yet pleasurable process.
The body that was only present in his fantasies was now standing vulnerably right before his eyes.
But each time he encountered Ye Lian's emotionless gaze, Ling Mo couldn't help but feel heartache.
However, this compassion only appeared when he faced Ye Lian...
So, when Xia Na brought Ye Lian to the corner near a Simmons bed, Ling Mo cooperated fully.
"Sister, just sleep with me. We can't prepare another bed temporarily," Xia Na said with a frown and a slight apology after glancing around.
The girl, arrogant and prideful in her demeanor, was unusually gentle with Ye Lian, which made Ling Mo sigh deeply in his heart.
If she knew Ye Lian's true identity, I wonder what kind of expression she would have...
As a zombie, Ye Lian did not rest, but she didn't require long periods of sleep like normal humans to recover strength.
After being mutated into zombies by the virus and completely driven by instinct, these zombies seemed to understand better how to utilize their energy.
The zombies wandering on the streets appeared sluggish, but when their prey appeared, they would instantly explode with immense strength and speed, turning into terrifying monsters.
Without pain and undeterred, combined with their agile movements, once these zombies started to attack, they wouldn't stop until their target disappeared.
But in the absence of prey, their movements would immediately slow down, and in this state, their energy consumption was minimized. Compared to the sleep required by normal humans, zombies only needed this level of rest.
However, in front of Xia Na and the other girls, Ling Mo couldn't let Ye Lian behave strangely, so he controlled Ye Lian to nod and then lie down on the inner side of the Simmons mattress on his own.
To avoid any trouble, Ling Mo intentionally controlled Ye Lian to stay close to the wall, keeping a certain distance from them.
Unexpectedly, Xia Na lay down close to her and asked in confusion, "Sister, are you going to sleep like this?"
While speaking, she reached out to remove Ye Lian's jacket, "Sleeping in clothes can cause a cold, let me help you."
Damn, girl, what are you trying to do…
Ling Mo's eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't help but shout in his heart.
He agreed to let Ye Lian sleep with Xia Na only to experience the feeling of sleeping among flowers, but he had not intended to play such an embarrassing game!
Seeing Xia Na really coming over to help Ye Lian undress, and Ye Lian becoming somewhat restless and uneasy with the close contact with a human, seemingly on the verge of awakening her true nature, Ling Mo also became anxious.
He gritted his teeth and suddenly controlled Ye Lian's pale and slender hand, grabbing Xia Na's collar, and powerfully pulled her close.
Xia Na was immediately stunned, with Ye Lian's speed and strength, combined with being unguarded, she hadn't reacted before being pulled close to Ye Lian.
"Ah!"
Xia Na gave a low cry but didn't push Ye Lian away, clearly completely shocked.
At this moment, the distance between her and Ye Lian was merely less than ten centimeters, and the breath she exhaled could even move Ye Lian's hair. However, she didn't notice that Ye Lian's breathing was unusually slow, almost imperceptible...
But as Ye Lian reached out her hand, Xia Na quickly came back to her senses.
"Sister, you're quite mischievous, huh!"
Xia Na burst into laughter, directly knocking Ye Lian onto the mat, entangling with her and laughing: "Let me help you, haha..."
The other girls also looked over with smiles, and one of the high school girls even immediately joined in...
Meanwhile, Ling Mo, who was lying alone on the mat, had the corners of his eyes twitching uncontrollably. A girls' dormitory, indeed quite embarrassing...
After about ten minutes of frolicking, Xia Na finally crawled into her covers, lying next to Ye Lian.
"Wow..." Xia Na let out a long sigh, smiling and said, "It's been a long time since it's been this lively."
Ye Lian, of course, didn't speak, but under Ling Mo's control, she gently nodded.
"Sister, your body feels cold."
Xia Na touched Ye Lian with her warm feet, turned over to face her, and said in a low voice.
Give and take... Ling Mo also let Ye Lian reach out to touch Xia Na, but as soon as she moved, her elbow hit a soft lump.
Although it wasn't him touching it personally, Ling Mo couldn't help but cough dryly.
"Ha, stop playing!"
Suddenly attacked on her chest, Xia Na didn't get angry but just chuckled softly, "I didn't expect you to be so cheerful, sister! It'd be even better if you smiled more, you're so beautiful, and you must look great when you smile. But that Ling guy, he really doesn't deserve you. At first, I even thought he was forcing you."
Dizzy!
Sister, stop teasing. I do have principles as a person!
So this is how the young lady views me, no wonder she's so hostile and somewhat unreasonable...
Now knowing the full story, Ling Mo wasn't angry but found Xia Na quite endearing instead.
At least this girl has a strong sense of justice, far better than those parasites...
Ling Mo secretly rolled his eyes while controlling Ye Lian to shake her head.
"Haha, I know, later when I saw you were clean, neatly dressed, and unhurt, and heard him talk about you... I knew he wasn't that kind of scum." Xia Na moved closer to Ye Lian, almost sticking to her body, "Sleep now, we still have to go to the Third Middle School tomorrow. Anyway, thanks in advance."
This girl has completely different personalities in front of me and in front of Ye Lian!
Probably because she used a lot of physical energy during the day, after saying this, she quickly began to breathe evenly and long, obviously already asleep.
Meanwhile, Ling Mo watched her for a while through Ye Lian's perspective. After falling asleep, Xia Na's face not only lost its arrogance but also showed a bit of vulnerability.
To let such a young girl carry the hopes of so many people's survival, it really was tough on her. Ordinary people are already under tremendous pressure just to survive; one can imagine the heavy burden on Xia Na's not-so-sturdy shoulders.
Though it was all brought upon herself...
After caressing Xia Na's head, Ling Mo also turned over, took a deep breath, and soon fell asleep.
Just as Xia Na said, there's still tomorrow!
To ensure enough energy, it's best to rest as soon as possible.
