Chapter 1183: Eyes in the Wilderness
Hearing the shout, Black Silk’s pupils instantly contracted, and her steps came to an abrupt halt.
Only then did she realize that after the dominant level Zombie jumped down, it had no intention of charging at her at all, but instead darted off to the side.
At the same time, several Advanced Zombies also took the opportunity to sneak nearby. But as soon as Black Silk stopped, those Zombies who were trying to circle behind her were exposed as well. For the moment, they didn’t charge directly either, but dodged among the constantly flickering silver threads.
“He was just tricking me?” Black Silk instantly realized.
That dominant level Zombie had clearly put on a stance as if it was about to fight her, but after landing, it only feinted. If she had really charged over, not only would she have failed to catch that dominant level Zombie, but she would have fallen into an even more troublesome encirclement.
“Damn… but why did he do this…” Black Silk had just furrowed her brows when the dominant level Zombie moved.
He let out two low growls, and then those Advanced Zombies who had failed to encircle suddenly charged forward.
They were going to hold Black Silk back at all costs, regardless of casualties…
And the actions of this dominant level Zombie confirmed Black Silk’s suspicion… He was indeed heading for Yuwen Xuan and the others in the rear.
“Really persistent! Even after being seen through, you still won’t give up!” A ruthless glint flashed in Black Silk’s eyes. She had almost been shaken off…
In her anger, Black Silk suddenly flicked her wrist, and her ten fingers instantly tensed up.
As her blood vessels bulged, those petite Loli hands suddenly became full of aggression.
“Let me show you the power of my dog claws! If I don’t get fierce, you really think I’m just a pet type!”
As soon as her claws came out, Black Silk’s entire aura changed.
Originally, with the cover of the wild grass, Mu Chen and the others couldn’t really see what was happening here. But now, they all involuntarily shivered…
What kind of fierce beast just came out of the mountains?
“Black Silk!” Ling Mo called out again to the dog-girl who was about to go berserk, “Don’t fall for it, quickly get everyone to regroup and retreat toward me! No… wait. Retreating toward us is too late…”
“Hmph, I just won’t… Hm? Fall for it?” Black Silk’s instincts kicked in, and she was about to act willfully, but Ling Mo’s next words made her pause.
“Yes… the real danger is where you can’t see…”
As Ling Mo spoke, he was standing at a window on the second floor.
His expression was very grave, and in the direction he was looking…
A strange sense of unease was faintly emanating from that direction.
Although nothing seemed unusual on the surface of that wilderness, Ling Mo could clearly sense that a danger was rapidly approaching…
Meanwhile, inside the granary, everyone had been separated…
If this continued, something would definitely go wrong!
This was almost Ling Mo’s intuition, and at this moment, the only one he could notify was Black Silk.
The reason he thought they wouldn’t make it in time… was because some Zombies were secretly circling around from the office building.
If this went on, Black Silk and the others would soon be completely cut off.
“Let’s go provide support,” Xu Shuhan volunteered.
From Ling Mo’s expression, she also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Moreover, the actions of these Zombies were far too unusual.
They didn’t seem like the Zombies that usually wandered the streets… Instead, they were more like an organized Army.
Such a Zombie horde, even if the individuals were a bit weaker, their overall combat strength was not weak at all.
In fact, they could be said to be even more dangerous than those Host Bodies… because in terms of numbers, they had an absolute advantage.
Xia Na frowned even more. When she followed Ling Mo’s gaze toward that wilderness, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
For a moment, it felt like she had made eye contact with something…
“Could there be another Host Body?” Xia Na couldn’t help but wonder.
But… it didn’t quite feel like it…
“Alright. But we can’t stay here either, we have to retreat toward the warehouse,” Ling Mo said. At the moment, the only place that still seemed relatively safe was those granaries. Plus, there was only one entrance and exit to the granary, so it was relatively secure. 𝘳Ἀ𝐍ỒβÊ𝙎
However, the granary was far away, and there were quite a few Zombies around. If they waited for everyone to regroup, there would be too many variables. The worst outcome would be if they were all surrounded near the Parking Lot.
“So we need to split into two Squads, one to take down one of the granaries first. The other Squad will help the Black Silk Team break out, then retreat to the granary,” Ling Mo said.
Gu Shuangshuang blushed and said, “Someone like me… can only go to the granary, right? If something’s hiding inside, I can help with Sensing.”
“Alright,” Ling Mo nodded.
“But with so little time, you can’t Sense everything by yourself, right? Ling-Ge, you don’t look fully recovered either, so you should go to the granary too, and take Ye Lian and Senior Sister with you,” Xia Na suggested.
“Yeah, Xia Na and I are both melee types… Besides, at least when charging into a Zombie horde, it won’t be too dangerous,” Xu Shuhan said tactfully. Indeed, helping the Black Silk Team break out meant charging into a Zombie encirclement. If it were ordinary people, it would be almost impossible to act.
Holding out under a Zombie siege and charging into a group of Zombies were two completely different concepts.
One grab and it’s Infection!
Xu Shuhan said this to help persuade Ling Mo.
“Alright, but you all must be careful. When you charge in, Black Silk will also try to gather everyone together. But this way, both sides will be under a lot of pressure. Also, we’ll leave through the main entrance, and you all jump out the window and go around the back. Once those Zombies are distracted by us, you can move in secret. Every second you delay being discovered gives you a better chance of survival,” Ling Mo instructed.
“Don’t worry, I’m the one in danger, they’re the ones who should be nervous,” Xia Na licked her lips, looking very excited.
Xu Shuhan instinctively shivered, then forced a smile to cover it up: “Hehehe… You all are the ones who shouldn’t scream in fright…”
“That ‘ah’ of yours is a bit off-key…”
“Cut the crap! Xia Na, let’s go! Uh… I’d better follow behind you…”
“Alright, let’s go,” Ling Mo said immediately.
Action… must be fast…
But before leaving, Ling Mo couldn’t help but glance at that wilderness again, wondering in his heart, “What could it be…”
In the wilderness, a pair of red eyes peered through the grass at that window, watching Ling Mo’s figure leave…
