Chapter 542 The Sinister Shadow Behind the Car

Guan He and his two comrades were completely dumbfounded. From the moment they rushed into the stairwell to their descent down the stairs, they hadnt even had a chance to lift a finger in combat.

The three girls charged ahead, and although Ling Mo did not engage directly, his actions hinted at a method of fighting that was beyond their comprehension.

Combat between mental ability users is invisible to the naked eye. The trio couldnt discern how Ling Mo was fighting, but they could at least see that every zombie that came close to him was mysteriously thrown away.

In contrast to their terror-filled hearts, Ling Mo appeared far too calm

Suddenly, Guan He had a realization.

Why hadnt Ling Mo and his group devised a plan of action? Because they simply didnt need one!

They hadnt included Guan Hes trio in their plans at all; they were merely there to watch!

With the formidable combat strength of the three girls and Ling Mos strategic coordination, they could easily steamroll through the opposition.

Weve been reduced to mere spectators Guan He thought with tears streaming down his face.

Huang Duo also noticed this and was immediately annoyed.

But as disgruntled as he was, did he dare to rush into the intense fray a few meters away?

The zombies nails meant certain death upon contact, and in such a confined s.p.a.ce, he wasnt confident he could cover all his bases.

Meanwhile, the three girls moved swiftly and powerfully, maneuvering with ease among a dozen zombies, even moving in ways that defied logic.

If one person could do this, it could be explained by psychic abilities, but all three

Huang Duo glanced at Ling Mo and understood. This anomaly was definitely Ling Mos doing.

Still, Huang Duo didnt look at Ling Mo favorably, even letting out a heavy snort of contempt.

Stay close to me later, Ling Mo suddenly said to Huang Duo.

Oh Huang Duo nodded subconsciously, then jumped up in surprise. Who are you calling Duo Duo?

Cut it out, Ling Mo retorted, already turning and pus.h.i.+ng Huang Duo behind him.

Caught off guard, Huang Duo stumbled backwards, his heel hitting a step, nearly causing him to fall.

What the heck! Before Huang Duo could explode in anger, he saw a zombie flying from in front of Ling Mo and cras.h.i.+ng at Ye Lians feet.

Ye Lian immediately stomped down on it, and at the same time, Xia Nas scythe swung, precisely slicing the zombies neck and dragging it away.

The zombies arms flailed twice, hitting nothing but air.

This

Huang Duo then realized the zombie had been stealthily approaching them, attempting to strike.

If not for Ling Mos quick reaction, they might have been thrown into chaos by now, with injuries or even fatalities likely.

Thinking back to his own outburst that nearly interfered with Ling Mo, possibly leading to a grave error, Huang Duos face turned shades of red and white.

Guan He frowned at Huang Duo but said nothing, his dissatisfaction clear on his face.

Xiao Ming couldnt hold back his frustration and exclaimed, Huang Duo, what are you doing? Look at the mess youve made

What mess have I made? Huang Duo shot back irritably, as if to say, If you dont speak up, no one will think youre mute!

Why so aggressive Xiao Ming muttered under his breath, clearly displeased.

However, Ling Mo didnt offer an opinion on the matter. Instead, he simply commanded Follow me before taking the lead and running down the stairs.

Guan He and Xiao Ming immediately followed suit, and after a moments hesitation, Huang Duo joined them as well.

This time, however, he didnt try to take the lead; he just followed the group down without any further actions until they were off the building.

Were about done here. Most of the zombies left in the square have been lured into this building and eliminated, Ling Mo stated.

Thats amazing Guan He remarked in awe.

Their original plan had been just that, but in Guan Hes mind, the best tactic was to defend the rooftop iron door to slowly wear down the zombies.

Alternatively, they could have bottlenecked them in the stairwell, taking them out one by one as they came up.

But such a direct and violent approach to combat was something Guan He hadnt even considered, let alone witnessed before!

Less than five minutes In just under five minutes, they had wiped out nearly thirty zombies.

Are they even human?!

Guan He held nothing but reverence for the combat abilities of Ling Mo and his group, which explained why Yuwen Xuan had been so vague when giving instructions, merely saying, Just follow and learn, dont fall behind

At the time, Guan He hadnt taken those words seriously, but now he realized that it was practically their operational motto

Xiao Ming, pay close attention said Guan He.

I am watching! Xiao Ming replied, his face full of admiration. His boldness in speaking up to Huang Duo was precisely because of his reverence for Ling Mo and his companions.

There shouldnt be many zombies left outside now, lets go, Ling Mo gestured with a wave of his hand.

Ye Lian and the two other women walked ahead as usual; being zombies themselves, they wouldnt be the primary targets even if spotted by their own kind.

The reason that one zombie had stealthily circled around them earlier was just that, but in such a cramped and chaotic s.p.a.ce, Guan He and the others couldnt have noticed any anomaly

But now, they needed to be more cautious. Ling Mo waited for Ye Lian and her group to get about ten meters ahead before he waved his hand and led Guan He and the others out.

The building they had descended from was probably an office structure, and it was quite a distance from the oil depot.

The oil depot, while seemingly small from the air, felt quite s.p.a.cious from within.

Several abandoned oil tankers were scattered haphazardly across the lot, partially obstructing their view.

Its a good thing there hasnt been an explosion; otherwise, all the oil here would be gone, Ling Mo observed.

Yeah, besides jet fuel and aviation kerosene, theres also some regular gasoline here. All of this is useful to us, Guan He began to murmur, I heard that regular gasoline is specifically requested by Falcon headquarters. Well be collecting more for them in other places. Now, this stuff has turned into a complete non-renewable resource, truly too precious

What kind of fuel do helicopters use? Ling Mo asked curiously.

Aviation gasoline, Guan He said. This type of gasoline, well, its used in aircraft with aviation piston engines. But these are all auxiliary models like helicopters, communication planes, and so on

Okay, okay, well talk later, Ling Mo replied, his head aching after hearing just a bit. He really shouldnt have asked

The group stuck close to the wall, moving slowly toward the direction of the oil depot, their actions very gentle.

Not all zombies had been lured inside the building, after all, who knew if any had been overlooked and were hiding nearby?

Even if there werent any on this open ground, they were certainly inside the buildings.

The group had just turned a corner when Xiao Ming, who was at the back, suddenly swayed and b.u.mped into an oil tanker that was blocking the way.

This tanker was stuck right there; everyone had squeezed past its side, but Xiao Ming, nervous as he was, hit the corner.

Clang!

The sound wasnt loud, but Xiao Ming let out a Ouch, his brow furrowing in pain.

Whats wrong, whats wrong? Guan He quickly turned to ask.

It hurts Xiao Ming winced, unable to free himself.

Ling Mo hurried over and immediately sighed, His thigh is cut open.

Ah? How could you be so careless! Guan He immediately grabbed Xiao Mings arm, trying to pull him out.

A dark brown trace of blood slowly seeped through Xiao Mings trousers.

Ye Lian, who was at the front, sniffed the air and then turned around blankly.

Meanwhile, a pair of dirty feet appeared from the other end of the oil tanker

Hurry up! Huang Duo shouted.

Slow down, slow down, be careful, theres rust Guan He said in a low voice.

Ling Mo wanted to help but felt that the boy was really a bit clumsy, and he was somewhat speechless for a moment.

But considering that Xiao Bai could squeeze through the tiniest gaps, he felt a bit relieved compared to Xiao Bai, Xiao Ming was still a bit smarter after all

In their rush, no one noticed that from the gap under the tanker, one could see a pair of feet slowly approaching.

Not only that, not long after these feet pa.s.sed by, another pair of female feet appeared as well.

The dirty, bare lower legs were covered in blood plasma and mud, and one foot was missing its shoe.

The movements of both pairs of legs were slow and utterly silent
