Ye Lian also staying behind was a bit confusing to Shana, but she had to admit, when they retreated, the calm smile on Ling Mo's face really shocked her heart.
Everyone else had different thoughts…
But in any case, Ling Mo taking such a big risk to voluntarily help made many people touched. Some even secretly felt ashamed and regretted their past xenophobic sentiments towards Ling Mo.
But Ling Mo currently staying behind wasn't considering any of that. To him, other people's opinions of him, especially irrelevant people, could be completely ignored. What was important was doing what he wanted to do, with a clear conscience.
Of course, most critically, was this dangerous to Ling Mo's life?
The answer was naturally no! He wouldn't jump into a tiger's den and get himself killed, Ling Mo wouldn't do that! Even with the strongest heroic complex, he wouldn't rush to his death for no reason.
After Shana and the others disappeared, Ling Mo finally wiped his nose and strolled into a nearby mobile phone store, as if just going shopping.
When they first arrived, the zombies inside had rushed out upon hearing the commotion, but were struck down by Shana, their bodies sprawled at the entrance. Ling Mo left Ye Lian outside and stepped over the bodies to enter the store himself.
With the apocalypse outbreak, all public facilities had lost function, including communications. But Ling Mo wasn't looking for ordinary phones, he wanted powerful, portable sound systems disguised as knockoff phones!
Luckily this phone store sold all kinds of knockoff brands, not just name brands. Ling Mo dug through the messy counter and found several fully charged phones with loud volumes, satisfying him as he walked back out.
He had the speakers, but just leaving them on the ground wouldn't attract many zombies from the whole street. It would be hard to lure over all the zombies on the street like that. Plus it would be dangerous for himself too. Just imagine, with the sound on, zombies from all directions would converge here – Ye Lian could stand in the zombie pile unaffected, but where could he run?
Moreover, since he had taken the initiative, he should do the best job, otherwise it would be a waste of his abilities.
Indeed, for ordinary people, a task with a ninety percent death rate was easy for Ling Mo…
He carefully approached the street, using his puppetry to control three zombies.
To avoid being seen by Shana and the others potentially hiding nearby, Ling Mo specifically chose a blind spot before making the three zombies come to him.
"Here, one each."
Ling Mo eerily smiled, handing out the phones to the zombies.
He specifically chose young and strong zombie youths, so their speed could be faster.
After looking out at the street situation, Ling Mo then controlled the zombies holding phones to walk to the other end of the main street. He didn't stop until his head felt ready to explode. As one of the zombies pressed play, Ling Mo felt like fainting.
Nowadays, there was one song that was guaranteed to be on every knockoff phone, with loud enough volume and voice!
After the play button was pressed, a brief silence occurred, followed by a deafening voice: "Seven wooden sticks swinging and doing naughty things! Doing! Doing! Doing!"
As the music sounded, the zombie immediately swung its arms, rushing towards the hospital entrance like an arrow leaving a bow.
The wandering zombies on the street almost immediately turned their attention to the human-shaped walking speaker, their throats soon emitting unintelligible roars as they pounced over.
Just as Ling Mo anticipated, there were too many zombies on the street. The zombie puppet didn't make it halfway before being knocked down by the zombie horde, the music soon disappearing.
But it was fine, Ling Mo had already given up control of that zombie, and the second phone immediately rang as the music stopped.
The same music, same actions, but attracting even more zombies from further away, also pulling over zombies wandering in the distance.
In an instant, within over 100 meters of Ling Mo, it was densely packed with zombies!
With the third phone ringing, the sound this time didn't come from among the zombies, but from the hospital entrance!
While controlling the other two zombies, Ling Mo had also made the third zombie walk to the hospital entrance, pressing play the instant the second phone was destroyed.
A huge wave of zombies suddenly rushed towards the hospital. Witnessing this spectacular scene through the third zombie's perspective made Ling Mo involuntarily shudder.
These zombies weren't like movie ones, they were fast with vicious movements. Being charged by such a massive horde gave an extraordinary shocking feeling!
But upon seeing the gathered zombie group move, Ling Mo immediately controlled the third zombie to turn and run into the hospital.
There were also many zombies inside the hospital, and despite Ling Mo's control, the third zombie was eventually completely blocked in the outpatient hall.
Living people likely don't have the experience of being surrounded and chased by hundreds, don't know what it feels like to have countless hands reaching for you, and certainly can't imagine what it's like to watch yourself be torn apart. But to buy as much time as possible, Ling Mo had no choice but to endure this feeling.
It was really fortunate zombies don't feel pain…
Moreover, during this process, the phone was almost knocked from his hand several times, but Ling Mo fully utilized his mental power, barely dragging it out for a full few minutes by continuously switching his control target!
A few minutes was short, but when surrounded by hundreds of zombies, it was enough for over a hundred people to be instantly torn apart.
For Ling Mo, it was an immense test of his mental strength and reaction speed.
As for Shana's group, they were thrown into chaos the instant the divine song rang out!
"This is just asking to die!" Shana gritted her teeth in anger, immediately rushing out of the temporarily hidden building while holding her long blade, the others unable to stop her in time.
But when she saw the street scene from afar, she was immediately dumbstruck!
Other than right after the apocalypse outbreak, she rarely saw scenes of hundreds of zombies madly charging in one direction… moreover it was hard to imagine this was man-made!
For a time, Shana's heart was both shocked and delighted, also full of worry!
But now wasn't the time to worry… Knocking down some zombies attracted by the noise behind her, Shana immediately ran upstairs: "Done, let's go!"
"That fast?"
"Can we really get through?"
"How annoying, he's desperately clearing the way for us, hurry up!"
The street wasn't completely zombie-free because of this, some hidden zombies were still attracted out. But Ling Mo leading most of the zombies into the hospital avoided attracting more concealed ones as much as possible.
So while not completely safe now, the street was much easier to traverse than before.
When Shana and the others rushed out, they didn't see Ling Mo, only noticing most zombies had charged into the hospital.
Could Ling Mo and Ye Lian have entered the hospital? Wouldn't that be suicidal!
Shana was so anxious she stomped her feet, but she couldn't abandon the group behind her either. Just as she was conflicted, she saw a sweating Ling Mo rush out from a small alley with the expressionless Ye Lian.
"Hurry! I'm at my limit!"
The words just left Ling Mo's mouth when a loud crash came from the hospital, countless glass shards falling from the second floor, over a dozen zombies dropping down with them. At the same time, the hospital's front door was also completely smashed open, some zombies immediately noticing Shana's group and rushing right at them.
"Go!"
Shana couldn't ask anything now. In this situation, even without her urging, the group would desperately flee.
If they were delayed, they would be trapped and surrounded by hundreds of zombies!
