Chapter 1139: Humans Really Are Strange
Chapter 1139: Humans Really Are Strange
Four hours later, under the blazing sun on the wild plains.
Everyone was cautiously making their way forward, while complaining uncontrollably.
“What the hell is with this weather!” Ye Kai cursed angrily.
“Yeah, getting roasted like this…”
“Logically, now that all the pollution is gone, I thought at least the air and climate would get better. But now… it suddenly makes me feel that all my past indignation and criticism were meaningless. Might as well have let humanity die in car exhaust!” Xu Shuhan wasn’t tired, but still mused thoughtfully.
“Hey, hey, no need to deny all the good things you’ve done! You know, as a Radio Host who only digs up gossip, what you did is already the brightest stroke in your life, your personal peak. Is it really okay to throw it away so easily?” Mu Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth and said solemnly.
Xu Shuhan replied simply, “Get lost!”
Mu Chen shrugged indifferently, then turned to ask, “Captain, what do you think? What’s up with this weather? If I’m not mistaken, isn’t summer not here yet?”
Ling Mo was looking at the map. Hearing this, he squinted and looked up at the sky, then answered blandly, “Just bear with it a bit longer, according to the map we’re almost there. As for the climate…”
The climate’s been crazy for a while now…
For example, the boundaries between the four seasons are already blurred…
The ecosystem changed, so the environment couldn’t escape either…
But fortunately, the climate changes aren’t too severe; humanity’s main enemy in survival plans is still those Creatures…
“As long as it doesn’t kill us, it’s fine.” Ling Mo ended the conversation with a blunt truth.
Everyone heard this and found it quite reasonable…
Indeed, these days, surviving is enough…
In the wilderness, the mutation panda was darting swiftly among the grass.
It was to arrive ahead of Ling Mo’s group and scout around the granary first.
This was Ling Mo’s special arrangement; back in Dawn Town, they’d suffered from lack of Intelligence.
This time, the Squad hadn’t arrived yet, but the probe moved first, greatly increasing safety.
And entrusting this task to Xiao Bai, who excelled in both scent and stealth, was clearly the best choice.
“If there are Zombies, let Xiao Bai take them out first!” That was Ling Mo’s plan…
Soon, a faintly visible wall appeared in Xiao Bai’s sight.
“MeGu!”
Xiao Bai immediately let out an excited snort, speeding up its short legs and charging toward the wall.
But at that moment…
Rustle… The grass behind Xiao Bai suddenly moved, and then a figure abruptly appeared among the wild grass.
He stared at Xiao Bai’s figure for a couple of seconds, then said hoarsely, “Only one… should I kill it?”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but stick out his tongue and lick the corner of his mouth…
At the same time, he silently dashed out, quickly trailing far behind.
He raised his arm, the fingertips reflecting a cold gleam in the sunlight…
Yet Xiao Bai kept running forward, completely unaware of the danger behind.
The figure kept his eyes fixed on Xiao Bai’s body… as if he could already see blood splattering everywhere.
“Evolution level… not low… the taste of its blood… should be good.”
But after a moment, the madness in the figure’s eyes faded. He shook his head lightly and lowered his arm: “No, that would alert them…”
As he hid himself back into the grass, the surrounding wilderness instantly returned to normal…
At this moment, Xiao Bai finally sensed something and turned its head.
The patch of wild grass was still swaying slightly. Just as Xiao Bai showed a wary look, a Zombie suddenly burst out from inside.
“MeGu!”
Xiao Bai immediately got excited, raised its paw, and charged forward…
“Hm? Clean?”
Ling Mo, still on the road, frowned after receiving Xiao Bai’s feedback.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Na keenly caught his change in expression and immediately came over to ask.
Ling Mo waved his hand, “Nothing, everything’s normal.”
A dozen Zombies dead, no other problems found. This situation could indeed be called normal.
Additionally, Xiao Bai found a car by the roadside.
From the current state, the previous group that came here had already been attacked by Zombies. They might all be dead, or some might have turned into Zombies… 𝘙𝙖ƝÖβЕṠ
But either way, with so many Zombies hiding nearby, this group definitely didn’t escape alive into the granary.
Because the granary’s main gate was open…
Ling Mo didn’t deliberately lower his voice, so Mu Chen immediately followed up, “Normal? What, is normal not good?”
“I don’t know… maybe it’s just too normal… At least that’s what my psychic probe shows.” Ling Mo added after speaking.
Seeing Mu Chen’s puzzled look, Ling Mo couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.
“Humans really are strange…” Li Yalin chimed in.
“Yeah, when things aren’t normal it feels dangerous, but when they are, it feels unsettling.” Black Silk hit the nail on the head.
“Captain, those Spider nests aren’t everywhere, don’t overthink it.” Ye Kai patted Ling Mo’s shoulder, trying to comfort him.
Yuwen Xuan sighed, then said out of nowhere, “Being captain is a tough fate…”
Seeing everyone look at him, Yuwen Xuan finally added, “I mean, Ling Mo has to worry about the Squad’s safety, so of course he has to be careful.”
“True…” Everyone understood.
Xia Na and the others also got it, and their gazes toward Ling Mo immediately carried a hint of something different.
After Ling Mo smiled at them, his eyes couldn’t help but drift to Ye Lian, who was walking at the back.
She was walking slowly forward with a blank expression; both her demeanor and the aura she gave off were very different from the usual dazed girl…
Perhaps the Miracle Squad members had noticed this too… but they’d rather complain about the weather than bring up such an obviously sensitive topic.
What if the couple was having a fight?
Fortunately, along the way, Ye Lian just quietly followed the Squad…
“But the troublesome thing is… even when I talk to her, most of the time she doesn’t respond…” Ling Mo sighed inwardly.
This feeling was like suddenly returning to the early days when he’d just gained control over her.
No communication, no reaction from the psychic link…
The only thing he could be sure of was that Ye Lian was still with him…
