Chapter 592 – I Take Pride in My Common Sense

Seizing the moment before the zombies noticed the anomaly, Ling Mo immediately increased the output of his mental energy to the maximum.

This Berserker was truly unfortunate. It was already bad enough being ambushed by a human, but to be completely overpowered by Ling Mo was even worse.

Having strength but unable to use it, the Berserker managed to get into a desperate stance, only to have its eyes poked, instantly losing its momentum.

If it could speak, it would angrily roar, “Shameless human!”

But Ling Mo wasn’t going to give it a chance. Following the principle of taking down an enemy when it’s weak, Ling Mo tightened his grip significantly.

In the blink of an eye, the Berserker began rolling its eyes, its entire body trembling as if electrified.

Just before all its strength was drawn out, the Monster let out a low growl, convulsed with a sudden burst of energy, and hurled itself towards Ling Mo’s hiding spot like a bowling ball.

“Damn!” Ling Mo’s face turned pale.

The psychic tentacles failed to hold the Berserker and were torn apart instead.

Using itself as a battering ram, the Berserker crashed heavily against the wall with a loud “bang.”

Accompanied by a dull thud, a large hole was left in the wall, and a round, dark shadow burst into the room amid the rising dust.

“Roar!”

The Berserker rolled over and crawled out of the broken bricks, extending its giant hands wildly.

But after slapping around a dozen times, aside from raising a lot of dust, it didn’t see any expected blood or flesh.

Where was the human that ambushed it?!

The Berserker, filled with fury, paused in confusion, searching with its undamaged eye and swinging its belly to find the vanished target.

At that moment, a dark shadow silently approached it from above…

A sense of invisible binding suddenly appeared. The Berserker shook its arm fiercely but found itself immobilized once again.

The fat on its neck caved in deeply, and the suffocating feeling made the Berserker stretch its neck in agony.

“Roar!”

Its enormous hands flailed around frantically, attempting to grab the cunning Ambusher.

But before it could exert any more strength, a sharp object had already pierced its other eye.

“Die, die, die!”

Sweat poured off Ling Mo’s face as he clung to the top of the Berserker’s head, continuously stabbing at its eyes with his Tactical Knife.

Similar to some mutation beasts, the eyes of this variation zombie were protected by an invisible thin membrane, making it difficult to pierce even with a tentacle or knife.

Given this, it was more efficient to use the knife directly and save some psychic power…

Repeatedly stabbing like this, even if it couldn’t pierce through, the pain would be unbearable.

After two minutes, the Berserker finally fell backward with a thud.

Its eyes had turned into two bloody, mangled holes, and a deep bloodstain marked its neck…

“Hu!”

Ling Mo dropped to the ground, glancing at the blood-soaked Tactical Knife and then at the Berserker.

“Well, it looks like I have to do the digging myself…”

He took a deep breath, then squatted down and started to search the body…

…

The moment the auto-launcher stopped, the pressure on the bus eased significantly.

With the missiles no longer providing cover, the zombies alone couldn’t break through for the time being.

Mu Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart, which had been in his throat, finally settling back into place.

If it hadn’t been for Ling Mo this time, who knows what would have happened next…

Even though he usually found Ling Mo annoying, Mu Chen had to admit that he had a newfound respect for him.

Breaking through the zombie’s encirclement alone, successfully ambushing the Alpha Zombie, that kind of skill and determination was not something common.

When he saw the Berserker crash into the house, he felt a moment of tension…

But seeing Xia Na’s calm expression, he knew he was overthinking it.

For anyone else, this situation might have been dangerous, but for Ling Mo… there was no way he would be taken down so easily.

Sure enough, a quick glance outside showed the house had returned to calm. Before long, a figure emerged through the hole in the roof of the bus.

“All done.”

Just as Ling Mo finished speaking, a muffled shout came from the front of the bus.

“Let’s go!”

Ling Mo’s face lit up with excitement and he waved his hand.

However, Mu Chen paused for a moment, finding the voice oddly strange…

…

A few minutes earlier, Ye Lian, Li Yalin, and Xia Zhi had swiftly cleared out a passage at the front of the bus.

The main attacker was Li Yalin, who moved quickly and steadily, sometimes creating the illusion that there were multiple versions of her working simultaneously.

Xia Zhi, who followed along, experienced this illusion and even rubbed his eyes to make sure…

“Hey, what are you doing here?” Li Yalin suddenly stopped and turned to ask.

Ye Lian also turned her head, her big eyes staring blankly at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi blinked uncomfortably—not because he was being stared at by beautiful women, but because the look in their eyes gave him the creeps.

In the dim light, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was a faint, bloodthirsty glow in their eyes…

“…” Xia Zhi waved his hands, silently indicating his intent—

Please ignore me…

To emphasize, he waved his hands a few more times and forced a smile more awkward than a grimace.

Ye Lian’s eyes widened even further. After exchanging a glance, the two female zombies suddenly seemed to understand.

Li Yalin moved aside, pushing the pile of debris towards Xia Zhi, muttering, “You should have said something. How would I know you want to help? Go ahead, it’s all yours.”

“Yes…” Ye Lian nodded in agreement, “Must share… with you…”

“Yeah, Ling-Ge taught us.” Li Yalin proclaimed proudly.

“…”

Xia Zhi’s face froze, and he instinctively looked down at his own actions.

It was just a wave—was it that hard to understand?!

…

When Mu Chen and the others stepped out from the front of the bus, they were taken aback by the sight of Xia Zhi leaning against the wall.

Though only a few minutes had passed, Xia Zhi’s current appearance nearly made Mu Chen’s jaw drop.

“What happened to you?”

Mu Chen’s eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed.

Xu Shuhan fired two more shots into the bus and then glanced back, also momentarily stunned.

“You…”

Xia Zhi was completely covered in black dust, with his hands and face smudged all over. If it weren’t for his distinctive dead-fish eyes, they might not have recognized him at first glance.

Especially seeing him leaning against the wall, looking as exhausted as a dead dog, he seemed like he had just crawled out of a trash can.

Seeing his companions’ astonished expressions, Xia Zhi felt like crying without tears…

It was bad enough they made him clear the path alone, but they didn’t even give him any tools…

He looked despondently at the two girls approaching Ling Mo, feeling a deep sense of sorrow.

“They look so cute, why are they so ruthless to me?”

Xia Zhi wailed inwardly. Just then, the two girls turned back and smiled at him.

“That human is so weird. He insisted that Ye Lian and I move aside and let him do it alone. Are all humans like this?” Li Yalin turned her head and asked Ling Mo with a smile.

Ling Mo shivered with discomfort, glaring at Xia Zhi disapprovingly before correcting Li Yalin’s perspective: “No… that kind of masochist is very rare…”

“Oh…” Ye Lian nodded in understanding.

“He keeps to himself and turns out to be such a masochist…” Ling Mo muttered.

“But it didn’t tire you out, so that’s good,” he added with a smile.

“Yeah, we’ve been obedient. You said it yourself: whatever these humans want to do, let them do it. We should stay out of their way,” Li Yalin said proudly.

Ling Mo chuckled, “Yalin is learning fast. That’s right; it’s basic common sense for dealing with these people…”

But this was just a minor episode. Although they had retreated from the bus, the danger was not completely gone.

A large number of zombies were eagerly squeezing through the gaps, and although they hadn’t yet breached the building, it wouldn’t be long before they did.

More zombies were constantly being drawn in from outside, making it impossible to completely eliminate them.

“Save the flirting for later, okay? Let’s move!” Mu Chen shouted angrily.
