Chapter 410 – The Unusual Meeting Point

“Bang!”

A zombie suddenly leaped from the upper floor, landing on the wall, and then lunged at Liu Baodong, who was the nearest to it.

“Ah!”

Liu Baodong screamed in terror, instinctively raising his gun, but due to muscle fatigue, most of his shots missed.

Although the others wanted to help, the zombie appeared too suddenly and was constantly in motion, making it hard to aim.

“Ahhh…”

In less than a second, the zombie was already in front of Liu Baodong.

With a blood-stained mouth, sharp fingers covered in various filth, and ferocious movements…

In the face of this life-and-death crisis, Liu Baodong’s body tensed up, his mouth gaped wide open, and he was completely frozen.

Just as the zombie’s claws were about to strike, a blood hole suddenly appeared in its forehead, and it fell to the ground without a sound.

Seeing the corpse fall at his feet, it took Liu Baodong a moment to regain his composure, but by then, he was already paralyzed with fear.

“See, this is the kind of situation I’m talking about.”

After dealing with the zombie, Ling Mo didn’t forget to add a remark.

“Th-thank you.”

Liu Baodong, sweating profusely, turned to Ling Mo and said with difficulty.

“You’re welcome. If you died, who would I get my payment from?”

Ling Mo said indifferently.

“Hey! I just thought you were a good person! So, to you, my only value is in paying you?”

“From here to the city…”

He bit his lip and suddenly took out his phone, pulling up a map and saying, “It looks pretty close in a straight line…”

“Huh? You have something like this?”

Ling Mo’s interest was piqued, and he took the phone to have a closer look.

Seeing Ling Mo’s curiosity, Liu Baodong immediately displayed a hint of pride: “Yes, this has maps of the entire country, zoomable down to every street. You might not know much about our Air Force Corps, but in terms of supplies, we have much more than Falcon Camp. With helicopters as extremely convenient and safe transportation, we can gather a lot of good stuff. The only regret is that fuel is really hard to come by, otherwise…”

Ling Mo could tell from Liu Baodong’s tone that he still harbored some unrealistic fantasies, like monopolizing X City…

“Why didn’t you take it out earlier?” Ling Mo rolled his eyes and asked.

“Uh… it slipped my mind. I was too nervous the whole way…” Liu Baodong scratched his head and replied gloomily.

“I have one too. Here, take it.”

Lucy pulled out a seven-inch tablet from her pocket and tossed it to Ling Mo. “It’s just a small app. We got it when we cooperated with the Air Force Corps. Since I’m with you this time, I won’t need it. You can figure out how to charge it, right?”

“Thanks. I happen to have a hand-crank charger.”

Ling Mo was naturally not one to refuse good stuff; regular maps were nowhere near as convenient as this.

He had been thinking about finding a detailed map book at a bookstore, but now he didn’t have to worry.

Not only did Ling Mo seem very pleased, but Ye Lian and Xia Na also curiously joined to take a look.

Although Li Yalin was walking at the back, her morning with Ling Mo was enough for her to savor for a while.

Now, her mind was preoccupied with the hope of getting pregnant, so she wasn’t very concerned about their surroundings.

Seeing his spotlight stolen again, Liu Baodong squinted and glared at Lucy, muttering resentfully, “You guys are really something…”

With the detailed map for guidance and Ling Mo’s superpower, the group’s progress efficiency immediately improved.

Two hours later, they had completely left the area and entered another urban district.

The crisscrossing roads, overpasses, underground passages, street-side shops, and the ubiquitous high-rises all indicated that they were gradually approaching the city center.

Of course, the number of zombies also increased.

“Where is your meeting point?”

Ling Mo held the map and turned back to ask.

“Uh… they said it’s at Jia Jia Le Department Store, which should be nearby.”

The female team member pursed her lips and replied.

When she met Ling Mo’s gaze, she even gave a slight smile.

However, Ling Mo didn’t notice these details at all, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care.

Being rescued in the midst of extreme terror naturally leads to some special feelings for the rescuer it’s only human nature.

“Jia Jia Le… the department store should be quite noticeable, right?”

The map wasn’t detailed enough to pinpoint it exactly. Ling Mo looked around and then pointed to a building in the distance. “Is it that one?”

“It should be,” Lucy said after carefully observing for a moment.

“Just in time, my food supplies are running low. Hopefully, we can find something.”

Twenty minutes later, Ling Mo and his team arrived on the street where the building stood.

Jia Jia Le Department Store had seven floors and was indeed quite prominent in this area, making it a reasonable meeting point.

But the problem was…

“Hey, the person who chose this meeting point clearly didn’t consider this situation, did they?”

Ling Mo stood on a wall, staring at the street teeming with zombies.

“How many times do I have to tell you, this isn’t a meeting point!” Liu Baodong muttered as he struggled to climb up. Just one glance made his legs go weak, almost causing him to fall. “Holy crap!”

The not-so-wide street was almost packed with zombies.

These zombies weren’t just standing around idly; they were in a frenzy.

They jumped onto car roofs, climbed electric poles, and kept roaring, looking extremely violent.

“No… no way! The helicopter probed the meeting point in advance!” Liu Baodong turned to Ling Mo in a panic, a look of desperation on his face.

“Even if you look at me like that, I can’t explain this situation.”

Ling Mo shook his head.

There were too many zombies for even Ling Mo’s psychic power to control.

Although he had witnessed the combat abilities of many Senior Zombies, the sheer number of ordinary zombies was still terrifying.

They were like a pack of rabid dogs; once they swarmed, they could tear their prey to shreds in an instant.

Moreover, there was a high possibility that there were Senior Zombies among them.

“Could it be that survivors attracted them?” Lucy suddenly suggested.

“That’s possible. But it’s too far to see anything clearly.”

Ling Mo observed for a while, then lightly jumped down. “Let’s find a way to go around. Getting a bit closer would help.”

Ling Mo had been directing their actions all along, and no one objected at this point.

However, just as Ling Mo jumped down from the wall, a pair of eyes inside the department store also moved away from the window.

“They’re here.”

The figure took out a walkie-talkie and whispered.

“Zzz…”

After some static, a deep voice came through the walkie-talkie: “We’ve been waiting a long time. Be ready; this time, we must succeed.”

“Definitely. Once we succeed, don’t forget you owe me a bottle of wine,” the figure said.

The deep voice chuckled, “At a time like this, you’re still thinking about wine…”

“Life is short; enjoy it while you can,” the figure laughed nonchalantly. “Don’t mess up on your end. With so many zombies, they should be forced to take your route. Make sure you perform well.”

“No need for you to remind me. Let’s get to work.”

After putting down the walkie-talkie, the figure turned to look at the shadows behind him.

There lay a blood-soaked sack…

“Hey, are you sure we can make it through this way?”

Liu Baodong peeked out from their hiding spot and nervously asked, looking at a small street ahead.

The street appeared much quieter, but there were still some zombies wandering about.

The most important thing was that it was very close to the main street. Passing through here would be quite risky.

The male team member said gravely, “Let’s follow Ling-Ge’s lead.”

“You’ve completely switched sides!” Liu Baodong glared at him angrily, then turned to Ling Mo with a smile. “Ling-Ge, what do you think?”

“Lucy, you’re pretty strong, right?”

Ling Mo initially thought of having Ye Lian and the others assist him, but reconsidered and found it somewhat inappropriate.

Lucy already had a slightly skeptical look, and the female zombies were rather straightforward in their actions…

“You’re suspicious, so it’s perfect to make you the laborer,” Ling Mo thought to himself.

“Hey, why are you ignoring me again!” Liu Baodong was on the verge of tears.
