Chapter 251 – Don’t Court Death if You Don’t Want to Die

Several Survivors immediately retreated, while two of them reluctantly stepped forward to face the threat.

Although it was their first time working together, they managed to hold their ground with some difficulty.

But at that moment, the soldier was in danger, and the other team members had no time to come to his aid.

One of the Survivors rushed over, but in his panic, he only managed to stab the Zombie in the waist while it stood on top of the car.

Yang Ying screamed in fear and instinctively glanced back at Liu Qiang.

Just a moment ago, this soldier had been standing in front of them, protecting them…

Liu Qiang hesitated but eventually glanced in Ling Mo’s direction without making a move.

Exposing his abilities might draw attention…

But Liu Qiang thought that with the personalities of that woman and the Big Guy, they would never let him comfortably settle into the Camp.

They might even use him as the main combat force to reduce the casualties among the soldiers!

“A soldier’s duty is to sacrifice. Now that I have a way to get to the Camp, I can’t take any risks!” A hint of malice flashed in Liu Qiang’s eyes.

In reality, only a second or two had passed. The interference from the Survivor allowed the soldier to hold on briefly, but his head was twisted off in an instant.

At this moment, a figure quickly rushed towards them鈥”it was Ling Mo.

Considering that having Ye Lian and the three girls intervene would be too shocking, Ling Mo decided to handle it himself.

His Psychic Tentacle reached the Zombie first, performing a psychic strangulation that caused the Zombie to momentarily freeze.

During this brief moment, Ling Mo finally reached the car, leaping onto the rear bumper and swinging the Tang Sword in his hand.

The Zombie’s head was instantly severed, and the soldier’s body fell to the ground with a “thud.”

Blood splattered everywhere, and the Survivor quickly buried his face to avoid getting blood in his eyes or mouth.

At the same time, the other two Survivors finally managed to kill the second Zombie together.

After jumping down from the rear bumper, Ling Mo coldly turned his head and gave Liu Qiang a disdainful look, making no effort to hide his contempt.

This soldier had not taken a step back to protect them, but in a critical moment, this superhuman still refused to act.

“Trash.”

Ling Mo muttered under his breath, then grabbed the soldier and pulled him up.

As soon as the soldier stood, Ling Mo noticed that he was trembling violently, his breathing was labored, and tears streamed down his face.

“Thank you…”

It took the soldier a while of coughing before he could utter these words.

Ling Mo recognized him; he was the soldier from X City who had vowed to save more people.

“Embarrassing…” the soldier said hoarsely, wiping his face with his hand.

“Don’t worry about it,” Ling Mo said, patting his shoulder.

Truth be told, anyone would be terrified when facing death.

The soldier showed a hint of gratitude, then silently picked up his fallen gun.

Though the others were relieved, they had no time to show concern and were still engaged in battle.

In the distance, more Zombies were being drawn by the scent of blood. The soldier gave Ling Mo a weary smile, took a deep breath, and ran towards the incoming Zombies.

No matter the fear, the fight had to go on…

While the other Survivors and soldiers were distracted, Ling Mo sheathed his sword and walked back.

As he passed by Liu Qiang, he overheard a muttered comment: “Pretending to be some kind of righteous hero, disgusting…”

Ling Mo’s heightened Psychic Power made his hearing much sharper than an average person’s. Plus, his Psychic Tentacle was still in active mode…

He immediately turned and stared at Liu Qiang, then clenched his fist and approached him.

“Uh… What are you doing?”

Liu Qiang glanced up at Ling Mo…

“Bam!”

Without a word, Ling Mo punched Liu Qiang square in the nose.

The sharp pain made Liu Qiang grunt, but before he could fall, Ling Mo grabbed him by the collar.

“You don’t want people to know you’re a superhuman, right? Then don’t resist, don’t scream! Being selfish isn’t a crime, but your level of selfishness disgusts me! He just protected you! Are you saying he deserved to die?!”

Liu Qiang had a chance to fight back, but Ling Mo’s words left him paralyzed with fear.

How did he know I’m a superhuman?!

Yang Ying stood to the side, covering her mouth with her hands, eyes wide as she watched Ling Mo beat Liu Qiang.

She didn’t dare to intervene; instead, she took several steps back in fear.

Ling Mo’s punch was swift, and he quickly let go of Liu Qiang, so no one noticed anything.

“You… damn it! Don’t think you can just get away with hitting me!” Liu Qiang spat out some blood and cursed.

But Ling Mo had already released him and was about to walk away.

Ling Mo’s dismissive attitude enraged Liu Qiang, prompting him to shout, “Do you think I don’t know? You’re hiding something! Stop pretending!”

Ling Mo halted instantly, turning to look at Liu Qiang with a cold stare. “What?”

The look in Ling Mo’s eyes made Liu Qiang’s heart tremble, but he had already spoken out and could only muster up his courage. With a forced smile, he said, “That sneak attack last night—it was definitely you, wasn’t it?”

This statement caused Ling Mo’s expression to change slightly.

Seeing Ling Mo remain silent, Liu Qiang grew bolder, gaining confidence. He decided to take this opportunity to lay everything out.

Straightening his back, Liu Qiang spoke in a low voice, “Whether you did it to get close to that woman or for some other reason, I don’t care. But you better think about what will happen if I tell them about this.”

He spoke so quietly that only Ling Mo could hear him.

“How do you know?” Ling Mo asked.

Liu Qiang scoffed, feeling pleased with himself. “I don’t know what your power is, but from my detection, there’s an energy link between you and your three women, and another energy link leading outside! You’ve hidden an accomplice outside, and last night’s attack happened at just the right time… Do you think I’m an idiot?”

“Energy detection?” Ling Mo chuckled.

It seemed he needed to be more cautious around superhumans; their abilities were indeed difficult to guard against.

To think someone could discover Black Silk through such means…

Ling Mo’s gaze at Liu Qiang became somewhat peculiar.

“It’s not that simple! But let me warn you first, don’t even think about messing with me again. No matter what, I’m still part of this Camp!” Liu Qiang shouted angrily.

Ling Mo’s pupils narrowed slightly. Damn, now you’re trying to act righteous by bringing up the Camp? Where were you when our Campmates were in danger?

“Screw your sense of justice! Do I need you to teach me when to save people…” Liu Qiang’s cursing grew more intense.

“So, what do you want? Blackmail me?”

Ling Mo’s calm demeanor made Liu Qiang extremely uncomfortable.

He had just exposed Ling Mo’s secret. Shouldn’t Ling Mo be panicking right now?

Liu Qiang wasn’t worried that Ling Mo would do anything drastic to him. Murder? As long as there were people from the Camp around, Ling Mo wouldn’t dare.

At this moment, Liu Qiang started to regret his plan. There were too many variables!

So far, things weren’t going as he had expected at all. Ling Mo was someone he couldn’t control!

He should have been more thorough, less impulsive…

But seeing Ling Mo’s indifferent attitude made Liu Qiang furious!

“You know what I mean. Yang Ying already talked to you last night…” Liu Qiang said.

Ling Mo glanced at Liu Qiang and replied, “If you think this kind of leverage can threaten me, go ahead.”

Without waiting for a response, Ling Mo turned and walked towards Ye Lian and the others.

Liu Qiang’s face showed a hint of surprise, but then he turned red with anger, glaring at Ling Mo’s retreating figure. “You’ve got guts…”

Trembling with rage, Liu Qiang gritted his teeth and headed towards Sun Zeya and the others.

“Before I even reach Sun Zeya, that Ling Mo will have to beg me to stop…”

But what Liu Qiang didn’t expect was that as he got close to the vehicles, a shadow suddenly lunged at him from the side.

The Zombie appeared without warning, and just as Liu Qiang tried to dodge, he felt a sudden dizziness.

When he came to, a sharp pain pierced through his chest, and in front of him was the twisted face of the Zombie, its eyes oddly vacant…

“Gurgle…”

As Liu Qiang collapsed to the ground, Yang Ying clapped her hands over her mouth and let out a scream.

Ling Mo, now standing beside Ye Lian, silently retracted the Psychic Tentacle that had been controlling the Zombie.

Ruthless, but for someone attempting to blackmail him and holding leverage against him, Ling Mo never showed mercy.
