70: Chapter 68: Unable to Evolve?
Zhao Xiweng nodded sternly as if disappointed with iron not turning into steel.
The arc of Su Mo’s lips grew wider, and she stirred the porridge in her bowl, whispering, “Now you see, Chu ngyao has completely ruined Mo Yan’s reputation.”
Lu Chen patted her on the head, “Eat your al.”
“Zhao Changsheng, you sit down and eat too; it’s beneath you to quarrel with her.” Su Mo obediently bowed her head and started sipping her porridge.
Imdiately soone behind reset the chair properly, and Zhao Changsheng gave Chu ngyao the middle finger as he obediently sat down to eat.
The benevolent image Chu ngyao had painstakingly crafted collapsed overnight.
Now, she had not only lost her appearance but also the people’s support.
Zhao Xiweng sighed, went to the window to get her own al, and by the ti she ca back, Chu ngyao had disappeared.
Su Mo finished her al and leisurely followed Lu Chen to the airing area to walk around the block before heading back to the dorm to rest.
Mo Yan and his group returned in the middle of the night.
Upon receiving the news, she quickly got ready and followed Lu Chen to the prison gate.
The two police cars they drove were severely damaged at the front, the supplies they brought back were scant, and what was worse, there had been casualties.
Mo Yan was unconscious, supported by Ai Yang, with many others injured to varying degrees behind him.
The worst one had a large hole in his stomach through which his intestines could be seen moving.
It was a wound clearly inflicted by claws.
“He was scratched?” Su Mo furrowed her brows and asked.
At her question, soone imdiately stepped in front of the injured man; a petite girl with a ponytail said, “You can’t abandon him, he can still be saved!”
The dical students assigned to the dormitory rushed over and quickly prepared to carry the man back.
Su Mo stopped them, got a rope from Lu Chen, and tossed it over, “Whatever you’re going to do, make sure to tie him up securely.”
Before leaving, Lu Chen also gave them the sedatives and sleeping pills he obtained from Shen Du, earning grateful looks from the students.
Su Mo also sent Jianxiong with them, just in case he needed to eliminate any problems promptly.
“What did you guys encounter?” Su Mo asked with a furrowed brow and a somber expression as she looked at the students who went one by one to receive treatnt.
“Recently, the zombies that co out to roam have been increasing in number, and indeed their speed has gotten faster,” Ai Yang replied, carrying Mo Yan, whose shoulder was stained with blood.
“Were there any bite marks?” Lu Chen asked coldly.
“Just that one,” Ai Yang’s expression darkened: “The rest are just so bruises.”
“Let’s go back to the office and talk,” Li Qian helped carry Mo Yan.
“You guys go ahead,” Su Mo suddenly thought of sothing and turned to rush towards the dorm building.
The entire first floor echoed with the painful screams of the man who had been gutted.
Chu ngyao, having heard the news, was rushing over and gave her a fierce glare when they t.
Su Mo didn’t have ti to bother with her petty concerns, went straight back to her room, locked the door, laid out the tea set on the table, and took out a can of Biluochun Tea to pour into the pot.
She poured the freshly brewed Healing Tea into a water bottle filled with water to dilute it, and carrying it, she rushed downstairs.
The one doctor and two dical students were frantically busy.
dical supplies were limited, but fortunately, there were still so painkillers and trauma dications available.
Su Mo stood outside, calling to Jianxiong inside.
Jianxiong ca out upon hearing her, “What’s up, little sister?”
Su Mo handed him the water bottle and whispered, “Try to feed this to the man with the open abdon.”
“If it doesn’t work, mix it in the dicine and use it for those injured students,” Su Mo patted his arm and instructed.
Jianxiong nodded and turned back inside.
Only then did she head to the prison guard’s office, where Zhao Changsheng had also arrived.
Chu ngyao was already inside, crying her eyes out, her eyes swollen like walnuts.
She hugged Mo Yan’s head, daring not to touch his bright red back as she cried, “How could this have happened?”
Ai Yang lifted the cloth on his back, inspected it, and comforted in a low voice, “He just hit the shelves and scratched his back, losing too much blood and fainting.”
“What did you encounter outside?” Su Mo entered the room, her expression serious.
“We hadn’t gone far from the prison when we felt that the number of zombies had more than doubled,” Ai Yang wiped the blood off his face, his head hung low and mood sour, “The mountain road to Pingshui County is tough to navigate, and although the resources are ample there, the zombies have also greatly increased.”
As if recalling a horrifying scene, he covered his face in terror, “These zombies, they have started moving in groups.”
“It’s in the direction opposite to Black City… why,” Su Mo bit her lip and looked towards Lu Chen, “Could it be they are really evolving?”
Lu Chen nodded, his facial features stern, “Most likely.”
If zombies could evolve… what about them?
Su Mo then asked, “Have any of you seen a Level 2 superpower user?”
Everyone present, including Lu Chen, shook their heads.
None of them had evolved again up to this point.
“I can feel the energy at its peak, but I can’t break through,” Lu Chen said, lightly tapping on the table.
Could it be they lacked a catalyst… Su Mo frowned, her mind sowhat chaotic; unlike them, her superpower couldn’t sense the sa type of energy.
“If we don’t evolve, but the zombies keep getting stronger day by day…” even Li Qian, who always wore a friendly smile, was unusually tense.
Chu ngyao held Mo Yan, sobbing continuously, causing Su Mo to feel irritated,
“You guys first take Mo Yan to see the doctor, Li Qian has arranged for all the doctors on the first floor of the dormitory.”
Ai Yang, who initially wanted to sit and listen to their discussion, in the next second, was being urged by Chu ngyao to carry Mo Yan to the dormitory.
Su Mo shut the office door, sat down on the chair and said, “We’ll go out tomorrow to look for supplies.
If it’s really as Ai Yang said, it’ll be troubleso in the future.”
“I agree,” Zhao Changsheng, legs crossed, was the first to raise his hands high in agreent.
Li Qian also nodded, feeling his superpower at its limit, but unable to break through, thought it worth the risk to venture out.
Lu Chen stopped his hand, stood up, “Let’s prepare to depart for Pingshui County tomorrow morning.”
With the plan set, they returned to the dormitory.
Hao Hu was still tied by the neck, hanging in a tree, looking vacant and screaming crazily at anyone who approached, completely turned into a dog-like creature.
The male student whose abdon had burst open had purplish-brown streaks erging on his stomach that extended upwards; his skin turning blue-black.
If not for the doctor who had administered a sedative, he might have started to go mad.
Jianxiong, heeding Su Mo’s words, took the opportunity to pour a mouthful of tea into him while he was unconscious.
The horrifying purplish-brown streaks visibly receded, leading everyone to believe that it was the doctor’s dicine that worked.
Even Jianxiong was nearly shocked into believing that the tea could cure the virus, but the good news lasted only three seconds, as these streaks were rely…
