Chapter 228 – An Outrage for the Loli
“Ling-Ge, there’s a presence inside…”
As they waited, Xia Na suddenly spoke up.
At the level of an Advanced Zombie, one could sense other powerful beings within a certain range.
Like Senior Zombies or superhumans.
Ling Mo thought it might be a kind of keen intuition, similar to how animals could sense impending disasters.
However, if the other party deliberately hid and masked their presence, it would be undetectable.
“It’s probably the superhuman among them,” Ling Mo said casually, glancing through the crack in the door. “These people must be the last batch of Survivors in the entire Amusement Park, and there must be a superhuman leading them.”
“I’m really surprised you actually came back to help them,” Li Yalin said with a slight smile.
Ling Mo rolled his eyes. “What’s so surprising about that? Am I not allowed to be kind once in a while? Is it that unusual?”
“Well, hasn’t your mindset already shifted towards us?” Xia Na interjected seriously.
“No… I lean towards you because you are my girlfriends…”
“Why don’t you just take a bite?” Li Yalin suggested again.
“Turning into an ordinary zombie wouldn’t benefit me…”
“No, but it would benefit me,” Li Yalin said, looking meaningfully at a certain part of Ling Mo.
Ye Lian thought for a moment and said, “I get it… Ling-Ge is… it’s because of that little human girl…”
“Lolicon?” Li Yalin immediately picked up on a term from her memory.
Ling Mo helplessly smacked his forehead. “Why do I become a pervert when you talk about it?”
“That should be called a child lover…” Xia Na frowned, correcting her.
“Isn’t that even more perverted? I’d rather be called a lolicon…”
At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps quickly approached. As the door opened, a dozen Survivors filed out.
“Let’s get out of here quickly.”
“Yes, before it gets dark.”
“Big brother, please get us out of here.”
Some of the Survivors said anxiously.
They looked at Ling Mo and his group with a mix of hope and trepidation. Their survival depended on Ling Mo and his team.
“Wait a bit longer, there’s still someone else…” Bai Yu said.
“Don’t wait, she definitely won’t make it in time. The longer we delay, the more likely things will go wrong!” another Survivor urged anxiously.
At this moment, Ling Mo’s gaze settled on the face of a middle-aged woman. Her forehead was obviously struck by a blunt object, not only was it bruised and swollen, but blood was also streaming down, staining her collar.
A little girl clung to the woman’s arm, tear streaks on her face, with one cheek noticeably red and swollen.
“What’s going on?” Ling Mo immediately frowned.
He had a vague understanding of these people’s situation.
They relied on the strong to survive, which naturally meant enduring a lot of humiliation, especially when trapped in such a despairing place.
When someone suddenly gains power in a lawless environment and holds the lives of many in their hands, yet can’t even see hope for their own survival, it’s easy for their mindset to change or even become twisted.
The little girl sniffed, about to speak, but Bai Yu interrupted.
“It’s nothing, it’s been dealt with,” she said, hesitantly glancing behind the door before seeming to make up her mind. “Let’s go, we should leave now. Otherwise, it might cause you some trouble.”
Everyone else displayed tense expressions, fully aware of the serious implications.
“Come here, tell big brother, who hit you and your mom?”
Ling Mo’s eyes turned slightly cold as he squatted down, gently touching the swollen part of the girl’s face.
She flinched in pain, then looked extremely aggrieved, her big eyes reddening instantly. “Yang… Yang Tianxin… he often bullies us…”
This Yang Tianxin must be the superhuman, right?
Ling Mo originally wasn’t interested in their personal matters, but for a superhuman, someone far stronger than ordinary people, to hit a child…
What was even more infuriating was that he had beaten her mother in front of her!
Ling Mo’s fists clenched immediately.
As a child, even if his parents had a minor argument with someone, if the other party was arrogant, he would rush up and kick and punch them.
To others, this made him seem quite unlikable, and even his parents would scold him for it.
But even as he grew up, Ling Mo never regretted it.
He knew how enraging it was to see his parents humiliated right in front of him.
“Um…” Bai Yu started to say something, but when she met Ling Mo’s gaze, she felt a chill down her spine.
Even though Ling Mo’s expression was calm, she felt that he was more terrifying than You Yuntian, more terrifying than Yang Tianxin.
“Come here, I’ll hold you.”
Ling Mo reached out and hugged the little girl, lifting her up.
She wiped her tears while wrapping her thin arms around Ling Mo’s neck.
The middle-aged woman wanted to stop him, but she didn’t dare to meet Ling Mo’s eyes.
“Where are you taking Tongtong?” the little girl asked softly.
“Whoever bullies your mom and you, I’ll take you to beat them up,” Ling Mo said.
He wasn’t standing up for this group of people, just for this little girl.
Adults not resisting could be called cowardice, but a child like her truly couldn’t do anything.
The little girl looked at Ling Mo in confusion, then nodded.
Bai Yu finally came to her senses and hurriedly tried to stop him. “They are very strong, even if you have a gun…”
“Don’t worry, I said I’d get you out, and I won’t break my promise.”
Ling Mo tossed the Submachine gun to Li Yalin. Without bullets, it was no different from a stick; he just hadn’t wanted to discard it.
“You…” Bai Yu looked at Ling Mo in astonishment, but he was already carrying the little girl inside.
Li Yalin and the Three Girls exchanged glances, then Xia Na quickly spoke up, “I want to go!”
“But…”
Ye Lian also showed a hint of urgency, but she couldn’t speak fast enough…
For them, fighting was like an irresistibly entertaining activity, and everyone wanted to join in.
“Forget it, let her go,” Li Yalin said, pulling Ye Lian back, a wicked gleam flashing in her eyes. “Besides, don’t you think this is a good opportunity? With so many humans left around us…”
By this time, Ling Mo had already returned to the dark room with the little girl. Through the Psychic Link, he naturally knew that Xia Na had followed him in.
“Where are they?” Ling Mo asked.
Xia Na glanced upstairs and said, “Up there. The aura is a bit mixed; there might be two superhumans.”
There was a hint of uncertainty in her tone, indicating that even Xia Na wasn’t sure.
This was a limitation of the Senior Zombie’s sensing ability鈥”they could detect powerful presences but couldn’t get more specific information.
“Possibly two?”
Ling Mo looked at the little girl in his arms. Oh well, she probably wouldn’t know even if he asked…
As they ascended the stairs, Xia Na suddenly sniffed the air and said, “I smell blood.”
“Blood?” Ling Mo frowned in confusion, slowing his pace.
He immediately restrained his aura, and Xia Na’s movements became much more cautious.
The second floor consisted of a row of private rooms, appearing much cleaner and brighter than the lower level.
Ling Mo motioned for the little girl to be silent, and she nodded vigorously, covering her mouth with her hand.
Not far ahead, Ling Mo spotted a slightly ajar door to one of the private rooms.
Peeking inside, he immediately saw a man’s corpse.
The body was disheveled, with one side of the neck a bloody mess, eyes wide open.
The smell of blood was faint because the wound had been stuffed with clothing.
This clothing seemed to have been used to wipe away bloodstains as well.
Except for zombies or Mutation Beasts with extremely keen senses like Xia Na, an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to smell the blood from afar.
Ling Mo only glanced briefly and then quickly turned to shield the little girl’s view from the scene inside.
“They mentioned there was still someone else… Looks like a woman might still be here.”
Choosing to kill at this time, it seemed like someone was planning to go down with these people.
To provoke such hatred, these people must have committed numerous vile acts.
Just as Ling Mo was about to ask the little girl which room Yang Tianxin was in, a door not far away suddenly burst open.
A woman was thrown out, crashing heavily into the railing.
She was covered in blood, clutching a sharp can lid in her hand, which was also smeared with blood.
