Chapter 759 – Even Zombies Know To Pick On The Weakest Ones

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Actually, some superhumans with enhancement abilities can also tear through barbed wire. But to do it as effortlessly as these two female zombies did is another matter altogether. Not to mention doing it under the constant threat of being discovered and pulling it off right under everyone’s noses.

As the barbed wire was quickly torn apart, a muffled sound rang out from inside the building, followed by a loud “clang.” Next thing, a zombie appeared, wobbling behind a window on the third floor.

The smashed glass came crashing down, and the crowd below quickly scattered with screams.

Someone looked up and saw the zombie but didn’t have time to shout a warning before the zombie awkwardly lifted a deformed arm and shouldered a submachine gun.

“Holy crap, it’s got a gun!”

As soon as the muzzle appeared, the crowd retreated in panic.

The guards near the school bus reacted quickly. They raised their guns and aimed at the window, but the zombie crouched down, leaving only the gun barrel pointing at them.

Before they could take further action, the sound of gunfire roared, “bang, bang, bang.”

Everyone was pinned down, unable to lift their heads. In the darkness, who could tell where the zombie was shooting?

Even the guards at the breach crouched down with their heads covered, they were too exposed standing up…

“Big Boss, please take cover!” A guard opened the bus door and shouted inside.

His voice was laced with anxiety, clearly afraid of being blamed.

And who wouldn’t be angry? A bunch of living humans getting bullied by a zombie…

Barely had he finished speaking when a calm voice from inside responded, “What’s the panic? Get someone to deal with it. It’s just three floors; can’t you climb up?”

“Clang!”

Before the person could finish, a sharp sound rang out above.

The guard flinched and instinctively covered his head.

He looked nervously into the bus, noticing the spacious cabin with curtains drawn and lights on. Several sofas were arranged around a coffee table, and the senior management were all looking up at the roof in shock.

The person speaking regained composure the quickest.

“Well? Go deal with it!”

The guard detected a hint of anger in the voice and quickly responded, his limbs weak as he backed out.

“Big Boss…” a man said, wiping the sweat from his brow as he looked at him.

“I’ll get to the bottom of this,” the Big Boss said in a muffled tone. “No matter what kind of monster is causing trouble right now, there’s definitely a human behind it. And I will find that person…”

Just as he finished speaking, a series of screams erupted from outside, followed by even more intense gunfire.

“What’s happening?” the Big Boss shouted angrily.

Within seconds, the door opened again.

It was the same guard as before, but now his face looked even worse.

“Outside…outside… it’s full of zombies!”

No one knew how these zombies got there. The guard, who had just lifted his head from the ground, suddenly sensed something was off.

When he turned around, the previously empty breach was now clearly visible.

But that wasn’t the key detail; what mattered was the monster standing at the breach…

Its body was grotesquely twisted, with a long tail hanging from its back. The moment their eyes met, the monster suddenly opened its mouth, revealing a set of sinister white teeth.

“Ah!”

The guard almost instinctively let out a scream, which acted like a signal, causing the zombie to lunge forward!

Not just this zombie, but more long-tailed zombies and even some canine zombies began pouring through the breach.

A large number of experimental subjects rushed into the open space. The barbed wire, initially meant to protect the Niepan members, had now turned into a cage for them.

It felt like being thrust into a large coliseum, except no coliseum had battles this chaotic!

The machine guns couldn’t aim at the zombies that had already invaded the open space, so they turned toward the breach instead.

But zombies moved incredibly fast; by the time the guards reacted, most of the zombies were already inside!

While canine zombies couldn’t bite people, who would remember that in the chaos?

Just being knocked over was enough to leave a psychological scar, and the more panic there was, the more chaotic the scene became.

In the darkness, the screams and gunshots blended together, so much so that no one noticed the zombie who could fire a gun had already disappeared…

“Alright, let’s move,” Ling Mo stood up straight with a serious expression.

Lan Lan was leaning against the wall, watching the commotion outside, completely dumbfounded.

Hearing Ling Mo speak, she turned back, blinking in astonishment. “You knew all along?”

“Let’s go, this is the most troublesome time,” Ling Mo said.

Seeing him avoid the question, Lan Lan felt like she had hit the nail on the head.

She suddenly found Ling Mo even more mysterious. Step by step, he seemed to know everything.

What exactly is his relationship with that zombie?

But their brief exchange made Lan Lan realize something else-this man was no easier to deal with than the zombie. He appeared gentle, but it was tough to get any information out of him.

“Annoying,” Lan Lan muttered, feeling somewhat frustrated. She had high hopes…

Old Lan, on the other hand, looked pleasantly surprised. That zombie, and now this Ling Mo…they were far more formidable than he had imagined!

Unlike Mu Chen, Old Lan didn’t overthink things. He knew the risks of defection were great, but how could that compare to the significance of his research?

Moreover, the more formidable the new boss, the safer Lan Lan would be, which explained his excitement.

“Lan Lan, stick with me. Mu Chen, you take Old Lan,” Ling Mo gave a quick order and led the group to the wall.

He barely paused for two seconds before decisively turning away, “Let’s go!”

The guards at the door had already rushed out, and the entrance was in utter chaos.

No one chose to return into the building. While it might temporarily provide cover, it would ultimately corner them and spell certain doom.

These Niepan members were all seasoned survivors. Despite being disoriented by the night’s events, they wouldn’t make such a fundamental mistake.

In fact, some had already recovered from the initial shock of the experimental subjects’ assault. They quickly formed a human wall and managed to stabilize the situation.

“Their reaction was faster than I expected,” Ling Mo said in a low voice as he waited by the door.

“That’s to be expected. They often have to go on missions; each one of them has struggled on the brink of death. If it weren’t for the fact that there are fewer people at headquarters these days, you might not have succeeded,” Lan Lan replied.

As she spoke, she glanced up at Ling Mo and suspiciously asked, “Hey, you’re definitely not one of them, are you?”

Without looking at her, Ling Mo flicked her forehead and said, “Call me Ling-Ge.”

“I’ll never call you Ling-Ge!” Lan Lan retorted angrily.

“You can call me Uncle if you prefer,” Ling Mo teased, taking a step back.

Lan Lan fumed silently, but before she could respond, her father, Old Lan, said softly, “I can’t call him brother. I’m almost fifty years old…”

Lan Lan rolled her eyes, thinking, what kind of people are these?

“Shh, stay close to me,” Ling Mo suddenly instructed, reaching out to grab Lan Lan’s hand.

Suddenly feeling Ling Mo’s hand holding hers, Lan Lan shivered.

Although she looked uncomfortable, she didn’t stubbornly shake off Ling Mo’s hand. The situation outside was chaotic, and with her abilities, she couldn’t get through by herself. She had to follow him obediently.

Not only that, but Ling Mo also pulled up her hood and placed it on her head.

Feeling Ling Mo’s hand on her head, Lan Lan couldn’t help but want to shake him off.

“Don’t let anyone see your face,” Ling Mo said, and Lan Lan fell silent again.

He didn’t pay attention to Lan Lan’s reaction, casually handing another hat to Old Lan.

“Don’t make a sound.”

Ling Mo led Lan Lan and slipped silently through the door, sticking close to the wall and quickly blending into the crowd.

Lan Lan couldn’t shake the feeling that Ling Mo had taken something from the doorframe on their way out.

That thing seemed to glimmer slightly, like a gemstone…

“Did I just imagine it? There’s no gem on this door. He wouldn’t rob the door handle, would he?”

Just as Lan Lan had these thoughts, she felt completely baffled.

Gunfire, battles… she had never experienced anything like this before.

Figures were darting around everywhere, and it seemed like they could get swept up in the chaos at any moment.

She was so tense that her whole body stiffened, and her gaze turned somewhat blank.

At that moment, she heard a gentle voice by her ear, “Don’t be afraid.”

Lan Lan snapped back to reality, but when she looked up, she saw that Ling Mo didn’t seem to have turned his head at all.

His eyes shone brightly, and his expression was intensely focused.

In the midst of the chaos, his steps were quick and resolute, without a single hint of hesitation.

Suddenly, a Zombie lunged silently from the side, as fast as a cheetah.

Lan Lan hadn’t even had time to react when she felt a gust of wind right in front of her.

These Zombies were nothing like the collection she toyed with. Without any interference, they were living, breathing beasts.

Unfocused and distracted, how could she possibly respond in time?

All she could do was widen her eyes and watch as the Zombie closed in, within a meter of her.

It’s over. I’m done for…

But just then, the Zombie seemed to lose control and stumbled, collapsing to the ground with a “thud.”

Her heart skipped a beat as she realized Ling Mo had already pulled her away.

“Wha…” Lan Lan finally snapped out of it, turning her head to look back.

Was this Ling Mo’s doing? But he didn’t even turn his head… Could there be another use for his “eye-popping skill”?

Despite her confusion, Ling Mo had indeed just saved her…

“Um…”

Before she could utter a “thank you,” Ling Mo chuckled and said, “Even Zombies know to pick on the weakest ones…”

“You…!”
