Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 This Damn Hero Saves the Beauty Complex

Xia Na's face turned a sickly shade as she approached the corpse, with a flicker of sorrow flashing through her eyes.

But she quickly diverted her gaze, turned around and muttered in a low voice, "Let's go."

"But..." A girl hesitated and glanced at Xia Na, but ultimately said nothing.

The sudden occurrence weighed down the atmosphere, making everyone more tense and cautious. They realized that although Xia Na and Liu Yuhao were leading the way, with Ling Mo following at the rear, they couldn't guarantee that a situation like the one before wouldn't happen again.

After all, their goal was to travel, not to clear mines; aside from the zombies that actively lunged at them, Xia Na and the others had no intention of deliberately searching through the stores they passed by.

Xia Na's attitude toward the death was further enlightening to Ling Mo. Indeed, she was nurturing parasites, and she was foolishly persistent, but she did not lack the necessary decisiveness when it mattered.

That's probably why she's been able to survive while leading a large group of parasites that only know how to stretch out their hands for food and drink.

"Damn you, Wang Cheng, always meddling, suggesting that we should all come together! Otherwise, how would there have been a death!" Lu Xin turned back and glanced at Ling Mo, and seeing that Ling Mo was not as visibly nervous but instead appeared calm, a look of disgust flashed across her face. However, after having learned her lesson and faced humiliation, she dared not trouble Ling Mo anymore, and could only walk over to the man with the glasses and curse in a low, vicious voice.

Wang Cheng pushed up his glasses and responded quietly, "Without Xia Na and Liu Yuhao, how would you survive? Plus, you've seen it too, that Ling is utterly disdainful of us. What if he convinces Xia Na? Most importantly, if those people hadn't died, could Xia Na and Liu Yuhao take care of so many?"

"Tha..." Lu Xin looked at Wang Cheng in surprise, then crinkled her brow and asked, "Then what's the point of us coming along! Fuck, if it was before, I wouldn't have to look at that little girl's face, let alone that pauper Ling Mo! And that he even dared to hit me..."

Behind his glasses, a cold glint flickered in Wang Cheng's eyes, cutting off Lu Xin's cursing, "Why come along? Don't you think, the more people disappear, the better it is for us? Better cajole Xia Na for now, she is your bread and butter. If I were you, I'd put away those little thoughts. You didn't get her before, and you won't be able to get her now. As for Ling Mo, if I were you, I'd forget about that matter as soon as possible. Him, you cannot afford to provoke."

Lu Xin was taken aback and felt a chill in his heart when he looked up at Wang Cheng. Who could have thought the seemingly gentle Wang Cheng could have such malicious and sinister plans...

However, as Lu Xin was taken aback, Wang Cheng had already grasped the cleaver and followed closely behind Xia Na, appearing ready to fight alongside them.

But the reality-struck Lu Xin couldn't help but swear through clenched teeth, "Hypocrite! Without this mess, a simple gift would have Xia Na obedient. As for that pauper, he's not worthy of licking my boots!"

The drastic changes in status before and after the apocalypse filled Lu Xin with resentment. Humiliated by Ling Mo and looked down upon by Wang Cheng, his eyes turned bloodshot. But what could he do about his resentment? Just as Wang Cheng had said, he couldn't even touch the hem of Xia Na's clothes now, and Ling Mo could easily defeat him.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" After cursing three times, Lu Xin felt a slight relief from his pent-up frustration.

"But, he's right..." Scanning the surrounding classmates, Lu Xin began to secretly consider which among them could be sacrificed...

In the following stretch of the road, heightened vigilance due to the presence of casualties enabled them to get through without any further injuries. The few zombies that occasionally emerged from behind were all taken down by Ling Mo, without Ye Lian even needing to make a move.

But the good fortune didn't last long, as the group soon reached the vicinity of the hospital. Without Xia Na having to remind them, they all knew that this area was particularly dangerous.

This place was already part of a busy street, not to mention the densely populated hospital; just imagining the potential number of zombies was enough to make legs go weak. In fact, some people had already started to retreat, but were all glared back by Xia Na.

Indeed, as they turned the corner and stepped onto the main street, the scene in front of them was enough to make one's scalp tingle and body shudder.

Countless abandoned or crashed in transit vehicles littered the street, and amid these obstacles, at least hundreds of zombies wandered aimlessly.

The nearest luxury sports car had half of its former occupant's twisted, swollen face pressed against the front window, and the other half had been brutally torn out through the gap of the side window by zombies, no longer to be seen, leaving only the blood smears spanning half the car.

"How do we get past this..."

The group had turned as pale as death, even Wang Cheng's forehead began to sweat, and discreetly moved closer to Xia Na.

Rather than cowering behind, it is actually safer to be closer to Xia Na, even if it was a bit thrilling...

However, under these circumstances, even Xia Na felt somewhat troubled. It was Ling Mo who still remained composed. There were many zombies on the street, but it wasn't impossible to get past them. Ultimately, Xia Na's concerns were due to the drag of this group of dead weights...

"I'll find a way to distract them first, Ling Mo, you take them..." Xia Na gripped her knife handle firmly and said resolutely.

"I'll attract the attention of the zombies," Ling Mo suddenly said, causing everyone to be stunned, even Xia Na showed an incredulous look.

"You?"

She didn't doubt Ling Mo's ability, but his initiative to step forward to help them out was something that was hard to accept for a moment.

"Forcing a way through is even more dangerous. You all find a place to hide first. As soon as the zombies on the road start gathering towards me, you guys should make your way through immediately."

Distracting zombies wasn't difficult. Ling Mo had tried using firecrackers and such before. Whether it was noise or strong smells, both would attract zombies' attention. Of course, to lure a large group of zombies at once, loud noises were naturally the most effective.

However, with so many zombies on the street, it would be easy to attract all of them, but the person laying the bait would then be in extreme danger, unless there was something like a time bomb. Even with that kind of thing, based on the explosion alone, who knew how long it would restrain the zombies? It might not even gather them before they lose interest and stop halfway.

Moreover, Ling Mo naturally didn't have such a weapon, but he had a safer, more brilliant plan.

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Xia Na asked hesitantly, "Or let me..."

"Get moving," Ling Mo smiled faintly and said.

Liu Yuhao looked at Ling Mo with great admiration, raised his hand, and patted his shoulder: "Ling, you're so brave! I thank you on behalf of everyone."

You're too kind! Ling Mo silently rolled his eyes. And it wasn't for these people, but because he disliked the idea of letting a girl take risks. Anyone could see that if Xia Na really went, the hope of coming back alive would be incredibly slim. On the other hand, he had no interest in being the nanny for this group of people.

After all, Ling Mo was just an ordinary person; even if he had a selfish side, he would inevitably harbor a touch of chivalry within the realm of his abilities.

It was not just to help Xia Na, but it was also for himself. Having followed behind them up to this point without having to exert any effort, it was time for him to take action.

But... he was indeed a natural troublemaker, never learning to be obedient, to comfortably rely on others!

Even when compelled by reality to bow down, deep down he still clung to some ridiculous yet unshakable principles.

Like this damned chivalric complex... Thankfully, this time it wasn't suicidal, since he was pretty confident in his plan.

Wang Cheng and others looked on with shining eyes. Just as they were about to say some polite words, they heard Xia Na grit her teeth and say, "Then we'll hide first!"

"Yes, I'll only give you five minutes," Ling Mo waved his hand and said.

Five minutes later, the area where he was now would be filled with zombies.
