Chapter 613 – The Chaos Unleashed

Is such a situation supposed to be called good?

Ye Lian and the three girls clearly couldn’t understand this.

Even with their combined strength, facing such a large group of zombies would be a difficult task. Not to mention, Ling Mo was still just a human.

Although Ling Mo had developed some resistance to the virus infection, it didn’t mean he was absolutely safe in the face of the virus.

Who knows if a certain amount of accumulation would cause the virus in Ling Mo’s body to suddenly erupt all at once?

Even if he managed to escape the threat of the virus infection, the ferocious attacks of the zombies were certainly no joke.

The strength of zombies lies in their numbers.

Under the impenetrable siege of zombies, facing countless claws reaching out simultaneously, it is incredibly difficult to stay calm.

And no matter how powerful the superhuman is, as long as they are distracted for even a second in such a situation, they would be torn to shreds.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?” Ling Mo had just retracted his gaze when he found Ye Lian and the three girls staring directly at him.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, “Don’t worry, I’m not looking to die. Look, right now, they are all gathered in the same place…”

“And all I need to do is…”

As he spoke, Ling Mo suddenly took a deep breath and then stretched out his hand.

As his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his hand started to slowly close from an open state.

“What is he doing?” Mu Chen, who was hiding in a corner diagonally opposite, was staring at Ling Mo’s actions in astonishment.

Xu Shuhan, who had already put on her headphones, replied, “Most superhumans perform a psychological suggestion on themselves when using their powers. His actions are a way to use body movements to achieve a stronger suggestion effect, making his powers more accurately and powerfully released. Is that hard to understand?”

After speaking, she gave Mu Chen a disappointed glance.

“I already know that, okay!” Mu Chen said angrily. “I want to know what exactly he plans to do! There are so many zombies here, and he’s not even responding to me. Are we supposed to find a way to divert these monsters, or do something else? We need to reach a consensus before doing anything!”

“Diversion… that probably won’t work,” Xu Shuhan glanced around, observing the surroundings. “This place is full of tall buildings. Even if you are willing to try, the chances of you getting away alive are very slim.”

“That’s true… wait, no! Why does that sound so wrong to me? Have we already decided it’s me?” Mu Chen looked shocked.

Xu Shuhan nodded expressionlessly, “Because it’s very dangerous.”

“So you do know! Thanks a lot…” Mu Chen said sarcastically.

But Xu Shuhan seemed not to hear him at all; she had already turned her gaze towards Ling Mo on the other side.

Like Mu Chen, she was very curious about Ling Mo’s actions.

In fact, diverting zombies is a very dangerous task.

If there was enough time and sufficient equipment to set up remote control, that would be the best. Otherwise, the person responsible for diverting the zombies would be taking a huge risk.

Because who knows how many more zombies might show up around here?

The diverted zombies often include a lot of uninvited guests creeping out from various corners in addition to the main target.

If there are a few advanced ones among them, the person luring the zombies would be in serious trouble if surrounded.

In such a situation, finding an appropriate location becomes crucial to reduce the risks.

A place from where you can both fend off the zombies and retreat to safety, otherwise it would just be a death sentence.

Xu Shuhan and the others neither had the time to set up remote control nor could they find a suitable location.

Although feeling somewhat helpless, the three of them could only wait anxiously on the opposite side, feeling at a loss for what to do.

Even Mu Chen had to admit… although he was very reluctant, breaking the stalemate depended on Ling Mo.

With the zombies’ fingers almost touching the alarm, the situation remained stagnant, and cold sweat began to form on Mu Chen’s forehead.

Once the sound stops, these zombies will disperse, and Ling Mo and the others would be targeted by this massive group of zombies.

“Whatever you’re doing, hurry up!”

Mu Chen gritted his teeth and urged in a low voice.

Xu Shuhan, holding her gun, was also breathing heavily.

Time seemed to crawl as the zombies’ fingers reached forward, the alarm swayed, and Ling Mo focused intently on the zombie horde.

“Hurry up!” Mu Chen, Xu Shuhan, and Ling Mo all had the same urgent message in their eyes.

It’s tightening!

Ling Mo’s hand finally clenched into a fist. At that very moment, the utility pole swarming with zombies, along with several nearby street lamps, made a “click” sound and suddenly crashed down onto the horde of zombies below.

The zombies had gathered under the utility pole and alarm, all tightly packed together staring at the alarm.

Several zombies were thrown off the utility pole first. With a “thud,” the long cement pole crushed into the horde.

Although some zombies noticed, they couldn’t dodge in time due to their sheer numbers.

Blood splattered everywhere as one street lamp after another fell, plunging the entire horde into chaos.

And as for the alarm that had drawn their intense attention, it was thoroughly silenced the moment it hit the ground…

“Done!”

Ling Mo wiped away some sweat and smiled slightly.

Using psychic power to topple these objects was quite a challenge for him.

Fortunately, he had previously absorbed the brain mutant, which allowed him to hold out.

Of course, it was also important that Ling Mo used some small techniques, rather than relying solely on tentacles to pull.

Moreover, for some reason, despite repeatedly exhausting his psychic power, Ling Mo did not feel any signs of damage to his psychic light cluster. In fact, it seemed even more stable.

However, time was pressing, so he didn’t dwell on this issue after briefly noticing it.

“Holy crap! So that’s an option?”

Mu Chen and the others were completely stunned by this scene, all of them standing with their mouths agape, eyes wide in shock.

One utility pole can’t kill many zombies, and the street lamp poles don’t even manage to kill any.

But the large number of injured zombies, the intense smell of blood, and the initial chaos caused by the fallen utility pole immediately instigated a massacre within the horde.

With the zombies busy with internal strife, Ling Mo and the group had a chance to escape.

“Just how many tricks does this guy have up his sleeve…” Mu Chen looked at Ling Mo with an increasingly complex expression.

Initially, he thought he was beginning to understand this guy, but why did he feel more baffled now than ever?

Should they cooperate with someone like this, or become enemies?

Ling Mo peeked outside to assess the situation. He controlled a few nearby zombies, directing them to launch suicidal attacks on the horde, and then quickly turned back and signaled, “Let’s go!”

But before rushing out, he looked back at Xiao Bai and Yu Shiran, who were obediently standing at the bottom of the steps.

“Remember what I said, don’t run off again,” Ling Mo instructed.

Yu Shiran pouted and rolled her eyes but eventually couldn’t withstand Ling Mo’s gaze. She reluctantly nodded and drawled, “Got it…”

“And apologize properly to Xiao Bai,” Ling Mo added.

“MeGu!”

Xiao Bai shook his head at Ling Mo, either understanding his words or just reacting to its name.

“Alright, let’s move!”

Ling Mo waved his hand and dashed up the steps.

As he burst through the door, Ling Mo felt an immediate sense of relief.

Just tens of meters away, hundreds of zombies were engaged in a fierce battle, blood spraying and limbs flying. Yet, the air filled with the incessant smell of blood felt oddly familiar to Ling Mo.

This was his world now. Dirty, broken, full of slaughter and bloodshed, but it was also a world where Ye Lian and the others were by his side.

“Never going underground again!”

Ling Mo dashed across the street, beckoning Mu Chen and the others as he harbored a resentful thought in his heart.

He stepped over a manhole cover along the way, which wobbled a bit, likely having been abandoned for too long.

Ling Mo glanced back and, seeing no zombies were drawn to it, turned his head forward again.

Just then, the once-still manhole cover lifted slightly, creating a small gap…
