Chapter 67 Red Light Street
(Seeking Sanjiang tickets! Asking for recommendation tickets!)
Seeing that the rain was gradually decreasing, Ling Mo quickly packed his backpack and left here with Ye Lian and Shana.
As for the corpses left in the house, they must soon attract zombies. There are no bones left, this is the inevitable end that everyone who dies in the last days will experience.
The straight-line distance between the construction site and City X University is actually very short, but it is impossible to directly pass through such a bustling area with many tall buildings. After several days of investigation, Ling Mo chose a route with relatively few zombies.
In order to shorten the time spent on the journey, Ling Mo specially took care of a zombie and put it far ahead to lead the way.
After his mental strength has increased, the limit he can control is nearly 500 meters.
But in order to preserve his strength, Ling Mo generally kept this distance at 300 to 400 meters. In this way, the zombies can be better controlled, and the consumption of itself will not be too large.
Zombies were leading the way, and Shana and Ye Lian would deal with the situation when they discovered the enemy. Ling Mo followed behind, conserving as much energy as possible.
As the rain got lighter, the hazy city gradually revealed its true face.
The towering buildings under the dark clouds, the desolate and rundown streets, this once extremely prosperous city has completely turned into a meat grinder that is full of crises.
The road Ling Mo chose used to be a food street, and it was densely populated at night, but usually there was relatively little traffic, so there were only a few zombies wandering here.
However, the "minority" in the bustling downtown area is almost the same as the "majority" in the outskirts. Fortunately, there are zombies leading the way, and Ling Mo has already seen clearly those zombies hiding in the shops.
As long as he could not fight, Ling Mo had no interest in eliminating these ordinary zombies. He even manipulated that zombie to close the doors of several shops with a lot of zombies, completely shutting those zombies inside.
It won't be long before they will start killing each other inside, and maybe there will be mutant zombies in the end.
"Roar!"
When walking to the middle of the food street, a roar came from somewhere far away. Ling Mo stopped in his tracks immediately, frowned and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Ye Lian and Xia Na also stopped at the same time, their eyes were faintly bloodshot, as if they were affected by something.
"It's a zombie again...why do you keep hearing the screams of zombies recently?"
It wasn't the first time Ling Mo had heard this sound. He had been active in this area for the past few days, and he had vaguely heard it several times.
Different from the low-pitched voice that ordinary zombies make during battle, this voice is obviously much higher-pitched, and it sounds faintly tingling, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
It's as if these zombies... are shouting for something.
Unfortunately, when Ling Mo asked Shana, Shana shook her head without hesitation: "I don't quite understand."
This zombie is too incompetent... But Ling Mo won't let her get away with it, so he asked her carefully.
But the only thing Shana could be sure of was that this shout came from a male zombie, and it wasn't shouting anything.
"Also..." Xia Na's eyes rarely showed a trace of displeasure. Simply put, his eyes began to change color. "After hearing that... I feel a little... uncomfortable."
"Hmm... Could it be a zombie demonstration?" Ling Mo frowned suspiciously.
He even guessed that it might be a mutated zombie, or even an advanced zombie, that would make such a roar.
Unexpectedly, when he approached quietly, he only saw a few ordinary zombies, and there was no fresh blood on the ground. Originally, he wanted to hide and observe for a while, but he didn't expect the wind direction to be wrong, and the bloody smell on his dagger was immediately smelled by these zombies.
Depressed, Ling Mo had no choice but to solve them all, which became a small unsolved case.
But when I came here today, this kind of voice sounded again. Moreover, Ling Mo raised his eyes and always felt that the reactions of Ye Lian and Xia Na seemed a little weird...
However, the direction from which the sound came was too far away. In order to find the source of the sound, one might have to go around a whole street...
While Ling Mo was hesitating, Shana had already clenched the long knife, and turned to look at him: "Let's go. This voice won't be heard again."
"Huh?" Ling Mo looked at Shana suspiciously.
Shana didn't seem to know how to explain it. After thinking for a while, she said, "The last voice sounds like it got a response. So he won't be shouting anymore."
"Since they are all zombies, you should know what he is shouting about?" Ling Mo asked curiously.
Xia Na glanced at Ling Mo and said, "I'm not very clear, I just know that after he yelled, I also wanted to go there. But I have a relationship with you, and I can't leave you, so I feel very uncomfortable."
Is this similar to some kind of summoning? The relationship Shana mentioned should refer to the spiritual connection between the two. During the duration of the relationship between the two, Xia Na really couldn't leave Ling Mo voluntarily.
However, thinking that Shana and Shana had lived and died together during this period, Ling Mo guessed that even if the spiritual connection between the two parties was gone, Shana would not see him as a prey, right... probably?
Seeing that Shana didn't understand much, and seemed to be disgusted by the shouting, Ling Mo had no choice but to suppress the idea of going over to check, and continued to control the frontmost pathfinding zombies to walk forward.
About an hour later, the three of Ling Mo passed through the food street and entered a narrow street that directly leads to the back gate of City X University.
Compared with the food street, it looks more deserted here. A small building with two or three floors was built on one side of the road, and on the other side was the wall of City X University.
Those small buildings look very old, but all kinds of posters are painted on the outer walls, and the neon lights placed at the door let people know where it is at a glance.
"Music Boat", "Red Spider"... Various small bars and discos are dizzying, and there are various signs on the second floor: hourly rooms, accommodation, hotels. On the contrary, shops such as canteens are almost invisible.
This is the most famous red light street near X City University. It is said that many young and beautiful college girls will work part-time here. As for what to do, it goes without saying...
For those who don't have much money in their pockets and can't afford to go to high-end clubs, but want to have some fun, this is the most suitable place to go. So in the past, the business here was very hot.
It stands to reason that a red light street like this cannot be opened near a university at all, but the things that were not resolved back then have completely become a foregone conclusion now.
Judging from the current situation, Ling Mo doesn't think that humans can completely conquer the world from zombies.
The rescue that most survivors were looking forward to has never appeared until now. It would be too ridiculous to have the illusion of relying on others.
Of course, this was just Ling Mo's personal opinion. But for him, whether there is rescue or not, it is an indisputable fact that he has two female zombies by his side. If he is too close to other survivors, nothing good will happen...
Although he came to X City University to pick up Ye Lian several times, this was the first time Ling Mo came to this red light street at the back door.
However, this kind of place is only haunted at night, so when a disaster breaks out, this place is the place with the fewest zombies.
"Maybe we can find a suitable place to live here."
Ling Mo touched his nose, still controlling the zombie to take the lead and walked into the red light street.
