Chapter 10: Misunderstood by the Girl

With Ling Mo's help, the two quickly broke out of the zombie crowd. At this time, dozens of zombies had already gathered in front of the supermarket, and they couldn't stay there for even a second.

"Brother, follow me."

The boy gratefully smiled at Ling Mo, he then turned and ran towards an alley.

Ling Mo turned his head and looked at the zombies all over the street. He had no choice but to follow the boy. As for the girl, she walked calmly at the back, occasionally cutting down zombies that got too close.

Seeing the girl's moves up close, Ling Mo was not only impressed by her extremely fast attack speed but also by the long knife in her hand. It was extremely sharp and heavy, and he didn't know how she could swing it so easily with her slender arms.

What was even more impressive was her expression and eyes when she killed zombies. They were too calm, even a little creepy...

After running for more than ten minutes in the alley, the boy finally led Ling Mo and Ye Lian into a small building, shaking off the large wave of zombies.

When the boy stopped to catch his breath, Ling Mo noticed that the small building had been cleared by someone before. It was very likely that this was their residence.

"Bro... Brother... Thank you so much." After running for more than ten minutes, the boy's face was completely red, and even his hair was wet with sweat. He leaned on Ling Mo's shoulder and said intermittently, "Really... thank you..."

Looking at the boy's appearance, Ling Mo wanted to say that he didn't have to force himself, but his expression was sincere, so Ling Mo could only nod his head.

"You're amazing..." The boy finally caught his breath and admired Ling Mo, "And your girlfriend, she can run so fast but doesn't even look tired... Was she an athlete before? But she doesn't look muscular... She's as good as our Xia Na..." (literal Chinese translation: 'our family's Xia Na')

"Liu Yuhao!" The girl, who had been silent all along, suddenly frowned and interrupted him, looking a little unhappy, "Who's your Xia Na?"

"Don't be like that. We're classmates after all!" Liu Yuhao said with a smile, then turned to Ling Mo and smiled even brighter, "Thank you so much today. How about going upstairs and chat for a while? I have beer!" He patted the backpack behind him.

Ling Mo looked back at Ye Lian. Fortunately, after she has evolved, her appearance is no different from ordinary people but thought that it would be better to have less contact with the survivors for Ye Lian's sake.

So after thinking for a second, Ling Mo decisively shook his head, "No, we have something to do."

"What can you do in the apocalypse? Come on, let's sit upstairs." Liu Yuhao was taken aback. In his opinion, meeting other survivors in the apocalypse was obviously a happy thing. Even if they didn't survive together, it was good to exchange experiences. Moreover, Ling Mo was such a powerful person, he must know a lot of information that they didn't know. If he could stay for a while, it would be a great help to them.

What else they could do besides surviving in the apocalypse, Liu Yuhao couldn't think of anything.

However, Xia Na suddenly said impatiently, "Since he doesn't want to, don't force him... Huh?" She suddenly looked at the short knife in Ling Mo's hand, and after a brief moment of surprise, she reached out toward Ling Mo's wrist.

Ling Mo didn't expect her to make such a move, but when her fingers touched the handle of the knife, Ling Mo quickly reacted.

He slightly turned his body, causing Xia Na to miss.

This made Xia Na stunned, and Liu Yuhao was also shocked, "Xia Na, what are you doing?"

The failure of her move made Xia Na look at Ling Mo with a slightly different expression, but her tone was still unfriendly, "Where did you get that short knife?"

"It's none of your business." Ling Mo frowned slightly. He couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he was questioned like this after saving them. 

Even though he didn't do it voluntarily, he still saved them. There should be a limit to being rude. One look at Liu Yuhao's cautious attitude towards her, and one could tell that she was arrogant due to her strong fighting ability, but Ling Mo was not going to entertain her.

"You!" Xia Na glared at Ling Mo angrily, but seeing the way she glanced at the dagger from time to time, it was obvious that she cared about it very much. After a few seconds of silence, she adjusted her tone slightly and asked again: "Where did you get this dagger? Can you tell me?"

It's rare for this girl to put down her airs so quickly. This was obvious just by looking at Liu Yuhao's surprised expression.

Since there was nothing to hide, so Ling Mo briefly explained how he went to the handmade knives shop to search for weapons. He only kept some information about the mutated zombies, such as the piece of red gel...

When they heard about the existence of mutated zombies, the two of them showed no signs of surprise, which also confirmed Ling Mo's guess. Sure enough, there are already a lot of mutated zombies in the city...

"The place you went, it was the Wang family's store, right?" Xia Na suddenly asked.

"How do you know?" Although this dagger is a finished product, there is no engraving on the scabbard or blade. How could the girl tell that? But on second thought, Wang Family's handmade knives are quite famous in City X, so it's probably not hard to guess...

Xia Na glanced at the dagger with confusion: "In other words, everyone in the store is dead. Forget it, it's nothing."

 "Since it's nothing, can you stop staring at me..." Ling Mo had a very strange feeling as Xia Na kept staring at his lower body, so he couldn't help but say uncomfortably.

Xia Na was stunned for a moment, then she chuckled nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? Your girlfriend doesn't mind at all, doesn't she?" As she said that, she pointed at Ye Lian who was standing behind Ling Mo, "Right? This sister."

"I mind..." Ling Mo was speechless for a moment. This girl looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old at most, and she spoke so sharply. But after hearing her talking to Ye Lian, Ling Mo quickly said, "Well, unfortunately, she can't speak.…”

"Ah? Such a beautiful sister is actually mute? Uh, I'm sorry, sister, please don't mind..." Liu Yuhao first exclaimed, and then quickly apologized with an embarrassed look on his face.

Ling Mo didn't know how to explain it, so he could only smile and nod.

What he didn't expect was that after Xia Na took a deep look at Ye Lian, she suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. If  Ling Mo hadn't immediately stopped Ye Lian's impulse to attack, Xia Na would have been torn into pieces by Ye Lian at that moment.

Judging from her expression, she didn't seem to realize how much danger she was in just now: "Sister, come to our residence and rest for a while. You look like you need some rest."

There was a hint of sympathy in her tone, and after she finished speaking, her eyes towards Ling Mo softened a lot: "You're very nice, come upstairs and sit down for a while, and I'll give you a drink."

She misunderstood!

Just as Ling Mo opened his mouth to refuse, Xia Na had already dragged Ye Lian upstairs, and Liu Yuhao also walked up behind Ling Mo, pushed his back, and urged: "Come on, let's go, it's rare for us to see other survivors...."
