“Heh heh…”
Lin Mo let out a cold laugh.
The situation was crystal clear-most of these people were Chen Chen’s lackeys, with only a few who opposed him.
Chen Chen’s purpose for this operation was precisely to eliminate these dissenters.
How laughable.
Even when barely clinging to survival, they still schemed for power and influence.
And that Zhang Yu-if not for Lin Mo, he wouldn’t have made it here at all.
He’d likely have starved to death in his dormitory.
Yet now he was turning around to harm Lin Mo.
What irony…
In this apocalypse, freed from the shackles of morality and law, human nature was laid bare.
It seemed Lin Mo had no other path before him.
Whether out of righteousness or coercion, he was expected to obediently scout the supermarket.
And as for the supermarket being free of Zombies?
No one would believe that.
But would Lin Mo really comply and follow the script Chen Chen and the others had laid out?
The answer…was obviously no.
“Whoosh-!”
The sound of a sharp weapon slicing through the air rang out.
Chen Chen stared in shock at the axe now less than ten centimeters from him, its blade still reeking of blood-remnants of the Zombie it had slain earlier.
“Gulp…”
Chen Chen swallowed hard, struggling to maintain his composure.
“Lin Mo… what are you doing?”
“Doing?”
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.
“I don’t want to do anything. But I have one flaw—I’m afraid of death. Terrified, in fact. So if anyone wants my life, I’ll take theirs first!”
“Y-you need to calm down. Everything can be discussed. If you don’t want to go, we can send someone else. How about that?”
Chen Chen’s face was panicked as he spoke, inching backward.
The people behind him naturally made way.
But as he retreated, Lin Mo advanced, the bloodstained axe never straying far from his head.
“I am calm. No need to remind me.”
Lin Mo smiled.
“I don’t ask for much. You wanted me to scout ahead, right? Then why don’t you go yourself? How’s that?”
“You-”
Chen Chen’s expression twisted in horror.
How could he dare to scout ahead?
That would be like sending a lamb to the slaughter, offering himself up to the Zombies.
“Lin Mo… we’re all classmates here. Can’t we-”
Chen Chen forced a smile.
“Classmates? When you were sending us to our deaths just now, did you remember we were classmates?”
Lin Mo scoffed disdainfully.
“Either scout ahead or die. Your choice.”
Seeing no room for negotiation, Chen Chen’s face darkened as if about to drip with malice.
He seethed with rage, wishing he could tear Lin Mo to pieces, but he didn’t dare act-his life was in Lin Mo’s hands now.
“Lin Mo, look out!”
Just then, Song Xue’er’s alarmed cry rang out.
At the same time, Lin Mo sensed something sharp approaching from behind.
A shiver ran down his spine as he swiftly dodged to the side.
Where he had stood moments before, an axe came crashing down, embedding itself into the ground with a heavy thud.
Lin Mo’s forehead was beaded with cold sweat as he quickly looked up.
The person who had attacked him was none other than Zhao Zitian.
“You…”
A wave of lingering fear washed over Lin Mo.
This Zhao Zitian was truly ruthless, striking without the slightest hesitation.
If not for Song Xue’er’s warning, even with Lin Mo’s agility-four times that of an ordinary person he might not have been able to dodge in time.
And if that axe had struck him…
Lin Mo glanced at the white mark left on the ground.
He didn’t believe his fourfold constitution would have been enough to withstand the blow.
Zhao Zitian, having missed his strike, panicked.
His venomous gaze turned toward Song Xue’er-if not for her, he would have succeeded just now!
Gasping for breath, Lin Mo stared at Zhao Zitian, a surge of inexplicable fury rising within him.
Fueled by rage, he actually picked up the axe and swung it viciously toward Zhao Zitian, who was still frozen in shock.
“Thud-!”
The muffled sound of a blade slicing through flesh echoed.
Zhao Zitian stared at Lin Mo in disbelief—until his dying moment, he never imagined Lin Mo would actually dare to strike, that he would truly dare to kill?!
“Thump-!”
With wide, unseeing eyes, Zhao Zitian collapsed to the ground, his final emotions a mix of shock and resentment.
Then, his consciousness plunged into eternal darkness…
