Chapter 345 – Faster, More, and With Less Effort!

The sound of firecrackers echoed every few seconds, enough to draw the attention of those zombies.

By the time the off-road vehicle reached the other side, everyone’s hearts were pounding in their throats.

The density of zombies here was simply unimaginable. Although the total number was definitely far less than in X City, they were all packed together!

On the surface, Ling Mo appeared relatively calm, but Wu Pengfei and Luo Ni’s expressions were extremely grim.

Especially Luo Ni, who was deeply regretting her decisions.

If she hadn’t impulsively stayed behind, she wouldn’t have ended up in this mess, getting her bottom seen and dragged to a place where she was likely to die…

Actually, Luo Ni wasn’t really causing a scene. She was just extremely terrified and felt incredibly wronged!

This was a critical moment, and although Ling Mo heard Luo Ni’s uncontrollable sobs, he had no time to comfort her.

Even Wu Pengfei only glanced at her and whispered, “Calm down, with Ling Mo here, we’ll be fine.”

Yeah… Even though she constantly cursed him as a pervert in her mind, right now, he was the only one they could rely on…

“This place is relatively hidden, and since no one has used that suspension bridge for a long time, there aren’t any zombies gathered around here.”

The off-road vehicle made a sharp turn and climbed onto a road. Yuwen Xuan said in a relaxed tone, “But the route we’re taking next is crawling with zombies. In about two minutes, we’ll be meeting a whole lot of them! So, get ready!”

“Who would look forward to that!” Luo Ni screamed in frustration.

“Girl, stick your gun out the window. When the zombies appear, just keep shooting. Don’t let them get close; hand-to-hand combat is too dangerous in this situation. Xia Na, you take the other window. Senior Sister, you help out when things get tight.”

Ling Mo quickly made arrangements after a brief moment of thought, “As for me, I’ll stand up through the sunroof and handle the zombies in front.”

Ye Lian reached out and touched Ling Mo with concern.

Although she didn’t say anything, her big eyes conveyed all the emotions she wanted to express to Ling Mo.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got the psychic power consumption covered,” Ling Mo said with a slight smile and a nod.

He was referring to the remaining vial of Spider Queen blood in his backpack. Once diluted, it became the best recovery potion.

But this stuff was still valuable to Ling Mo, and he tried to save it whenever possible. However, in this situation, he couldn’t afford to hold back.

“What about us?” Wu Pengfei asked hurriedly.

Ling Mo initially wanted to say that they just needed to stay out of the way, but he changed his mind and replied, “Didn’t Yuwen mention there are guns behind the seats? Take them out and let Ye Lian help you load them. But keep the barrels pointed out the window. When a zombie gets close, don’t hesitate, just shoot.”

“Got it!” Wu Pengfei nodded immediately.

He could tell that Ling Mo was just trying to make him feel useful, not really expecting him to take down many zombies.

But the less Ling Mo expected, the more determined Wu Pengfei felt!

“I refuse to believe I can’t take down at least one or two zombies with random shots. I can’t be worse than Ye Lian; she probably hasn’t had much training either, maybe just some exposure to firearms…”

Comparing himself to a girl felt a bit humiliating, but Wu Pengfei had to motivate himself somehow.

“Are you okay with this plan?” Ling Mo turned to Yuwen Xuan.

“Very good! And what about me? Give me an assignment too. Honestly, your calm response has given me some insight into you,” Yuwen Xuan said with a smile.

“Just focus on driving and don’t stop. I don’t need to tell you what will happen if we stop. Also, you should be able to handle your window, right?”

After speaking, Ling Mo took a deep breath and climbed out through the sunroof.

The wind hit him in the face, immediately clearing his mind.

On either side of the road were low buildings, and in the distance, he could already see the main road.

Zombies were faintly visible as well.

Lying on the sunroof, his actions were hidden from the others. Ling Mo first took a sip of the zombie potion, then looked ahead with a serious expression.

With Yuwen Xuan’s driving speed, the off-road vehicle surged onto the main road in the blink of an eye!

“Roar!”

Several zombies were sent flying by the impact, but a dozen more immediately lunged at them.

Gunfire erupted, and blood splattered everywhere.

However, just as Yuwen Xuan had said, the zombies in A City were much more experienced at dodging bullets compared to those in X City!

As soon as they saw a gun barrel pointed at them, these zombies would either speed up or leap high into the air.

Wu Pengfei fired seven or eight shots in a row but didn’t hit a single target.

In contrast, Ye Lian’s shooting was both precise and rapid. It was as if she could predict the zombies’ next moves; just as they began to dodge, her bullets would connect perfectly.

It made sense, considering she was a zombie herself…

But for the onlookers who didn’t know the truth, Yuwen Xuan and Wu Pengfei were utterly stunned by Ye Lian’s sharpshooting skills.

Especially Wu Pengfei, who had known Ye Lian for a long time. Although her personality had changed drastically and he knew she had undergone many transformations…

This sudden transformation into a sharpshooter was still too much for him to process!

“So impressive…”

Wu Pengfei’s mind had completely shut down. His worldview had been overturned too many times in the past few days!

However, Ling Mo had anticipated this outcome.

Back when they practiced with the crossbow bolt, Ling Mo had already noticed Ye Lian’s talent for this sort of thing.

But as a zombie, she naturally preferred close combat. It was uncertain whether this preference would change as she continued to evolve.

The zombies that had been sent flying by the off-road vehicle hadn’t been killed; they quickly scrambled back up and clung to the front of the vehicle, trying to crawl forward.

Including the ones that had climbed up earlier, there were now five or six zombies hanging onto the vehicle.

Some zombies jumped high, then kicked off the roadside barriers, launching themselves at Ling Mo.

But with Yuwen Xuan’s speed, they all missed and crashed heavily to the ground.

“Ling Mo, it’s your turn!” Yuwen Xuan shouted excitedly, flooring the gas pedal with a roar.

Since Yalin had chosen to follow this man, Yuwen Xuan decided to trust Ling Mo for now!

A zombie grabbed the windshield wiper and leaped forward, crashing into the front windshield with a loud “thud.”

Separated from this dangerous zombie by just a layer of glass, even Luo Ni in the back seat screamed, while Yuwen Xuan remained smiling.

There was no need to run anymore; no matter how many zombies they faced, he wouldn’t run again…

The girl he hadn’t trusted at first had saved him without hesitation. Would this man he now trusted let him down?

“Bang!”

On the zombie’s second impact, it suddenly got hit by something invisible, lifting it into the air.

As it fell, it was gruesomely struck by the off-road vehicle, turning into a bloody mess.

The other zombies lost their grip and were shaken off by the impact.

One zombie clung to the front bumper, but its legs were soon crushed under the wheels, and half of its body was ground into a bloody pulp, intestines spilling everywhere.

Combining the Materialization of his Psychic Tentacles with his Puppet Control Ability, Ling Mo instantly became the most formidable combat force.

Not only were the zombies on the vehicle mysteriously cleaned off one by one, but even those lunging at them were mostly taken care of.

Unlike Ye Lian and the others, who didn’t always attack lethally, Ling Mo fully embodied the role of a headshot maniac.

Every zombie he dealt with had a small hole in its head!

Having battled the Spider Queen, Ling Mo’s tentacles were now evolving to be finer in combat.

As a result, with the same Psychic Power intensity, he could attack more zombies simultaneously.

However, unlike the Spider Queen, whose tentacles were purely physical attacks consuming stamina, Ling Mo’s were entirely mental energy. Even when materialized, the damage inflicted depended on his will.

Faster, more efficient, and less exhausting!
