Chapter 54: Stepping on the Point
As soon as the sky was dark, Ling Mo woke up.
There are many things he has to do today, such as hunting mutant zombies, replenishing the depleted virus gel, and...... Replenish your food reserves!
There wasn't much food left from the food collected before, and although half a box of instant noodles was harvested yesterday, it was still not enough for Ling Mo.
A large number of battles, as well as long hours of walking, as well as the continuous consumption of mental power, made Ling Mo's appetite more and more amazing.
Of course, a large part of the reason for this situation is that many of the foods that can be collected are not nutritious, and no matter how much you eat, you can't replenish the consumption of physical energy.
It's not enough to just be fed.
Before going out, Ling Mo had always been accustomed to making full preparations first, so as soon as he got up, he immediately began to organize his backpack.
For this residential building, Ling Mo was quite satisfied, and it was very suitable as a hiding place. Therefore, he has no intention of leaving here in a short time.
Although his destination was actually City X University, it was already very close to City X University. On the way here yesterday, Ling Mo had already discovered that it was very difficult to move in such a downtown area.
The combination of complex terrain, numerous buildings, and a staggering number of zombies makes this area extremely dangerous.
Rather than plunging headlong into X, who was in an unknown situation, Ling Mo preferred to use this place as a base first, and then find out the situation in the vicinity before making a plan.
This is commonly known as stepping on the point, but the workload is relatively large. Of course, in the process of stepping on the point, you can also collect materials, and if you are lucky, you may be able to find some places where there may be mutated zombies.
Considering that the number of zombies in this vicinity was estimated to be more than double that in the vicinity of No. 3 Middle School, Ling Mo planned to leave some unnecessary things in the house first, so as to lighten his burden.
It's a remote place, and there are zombies wandering around the parking lot and construction site, so even if a survivor runs around here, it is estimated that this residential building is actually inhabited, so it is relatively safe to hide things here.
A short knife and a dagger were all hung by Ling Mo on his waist, and a few of Zuihou's chocolates were also stuffed into his jacket pocket so that he could replenish his strength at any time. Zuihou pulled out another military kettle and filled it with a jug full of mineral water. He poured the rest out of his backpack and piled them into the box along with the instant noodles.
It had been a long time since he had gone out with an empty backpack, and although the task was heavy, Ling Mo still couldn't help but feel a little lighter.
For the sake of prudence, before taking Xia Na and Ye Lian out, Ling Mo deliberately hid all the things in the house under the bed, messed up the bed, disguised it as uninhabited, and left the door wide open, so that he could go out with confidence.
As a bustling area of the city, although it is not a major street, the number of zombies is already outrageous, and the degree of destruction of the surrounding shops has greatly increased. The abandoned vehicles on the road alone, and some of the traces left behind after the explosion, were already terrifying, not to mention the blood clotted all over the ground, which was like a blood-colored carpet on the ground.
As soon as he walked to the street, Ling Mo's expression became solemn, although there were two mutant female zombies, Ye Lian and Xia Na, there was still a lot of pressure to collect and hunt in such a dangerous place.
As long as there is a slight movement, it is estimated that a large number of zombies will be attracted, like the previous method of attracting zombies by playing mobile phone music, but it is completely unfeasible here. Not only is there not enough space for the attracted zombies, but it also has a very deadly topography feature of roads and alleys.
As soon as the music sounded, zombies swarmed from all directions, even if they could guarantee that they would not be buried in the corpse tide by relying on their corpse puppet ability, it was certain that they would be trapped and die here. This kind of self-digging grave thing, Ling Mo would not do.
The safest and most stupid way is to kill the past little by little, and try not to attract the attention of the zombies in the distance.
Although these zombies have all five senses, they are not without weaknesses. When they don't find their prey, they mostly wander slowly, and the area of movement is small. So although there are many zombies on the road, they are not densely packed together. You can do this by taking advantage of the gaps between them.
This kind of thing is difficult for ordinary people to do, but Ling Mo has the ability of corpse puppets, and it is not so difficult to implement.
He first quietly got behind an abandoned vehicle under the cover of Xia Na, and then manipulated Ye Lian to approach behind the nearest group of zombies.
In order to avoid blood attracting zombies in the distance, Ling Mo did not let Ye Lian use a scimitar, but adopted a more violent method: twisting his neck.
With Ye Lian's liliang, almost the moment she hugged the other party's head with her arms, there was a soft "click" sound, and then slowly put the zombie corpse on the ground. However, even such a soft voice immediately caused the rest of the zombies to turn their heads and look over. However, ordinary zombies would not attack their own kind without going crazy, so they just turned their heads, but they did not attack Ye Lian, who was close at hand.
At this time, Ling Mo stuck his head out from the back of the car, and the moment these zombies found him, they immediately used their puppet manipulation ability. However, Ling Mo also noticed at this time that after being improved, his puppet manipulation ability seemed to have changed a little. Before, he had to control the corpse puppet when his eyes met, but at this time, under his full attention, two zombies who turned their heads a little slowly and didn't meet him at all were actually controlled by him.
But this is not the time to think about this, as his puppet manipulation ability is displayed, the invisible silk thread immediately firmly controls these zombies, and while successfully controlling these zombies, the corners of Ling Mo's mouth also showed a sinister smile.
After these corpse puppets were controlled, they immediately fought each other, and under Ling Mo's deliberate control, they all died cleanly.
Relying on this cautious combat method, Ling Mo quickly broke through to the door of a small supermarket.
The size of this supermarket is small, but there are a lot of leftover materials. It's not hard to understand this, after all, not all survivors have the ability to come to such a place to scavenge for food.
After leaving Xia Na on guard at the door, Ling Mo and Ye Lian quickly searched the supermarket.
As the backpack was quickly stuffed with a large pile of various foods, Ling Mo's mood also became a little lighter.
In the last days, if you can take as much risk as you can, you will gain as much as you want.
