Chapter 333: Chapter 332: Threat

All four of them did not look around carelessly, and they had just stood in the lobby for a short while when Li Ming came down from upstairs.

Su Mo took a brief look at his outfit and realized that she had never seen him change his clothes for many days; the red scarf also constantly wrapped around his neck with his vest, she could not help but ask, "It’s still not spring, aren’t you cold dressed like this?"

"I am a Fire Element, so it’s alright," Li Ming patted his strong arm and then touched the scarf around his neck affectionately, offering a rather lengthy explanation, "My wife likes me to dress this way; she even knitted this scarf."

Su Mo was taken aback, and then she remained silent.

"I have something for you to listen to," Li Ming led them to the study on the first floor.

A large wooden desk displayed a radio set, a pair of headphones, and a microphone.

He sat down in the chair in front of the desk, pressed several buttons on it, and then adjusted the frequency, "We brought this radio from the TV station."

He played the recorded audio clip again.

The crackle of electric current accompanied by human screams, and several distressed cries were exceptionally clear.

Lu Chen looked up, his jawline tense, "Boundary Full of Zombies?"

"Yes, received last night," Li Ming turned off the audio and propped his feet on the table, "The incident happened a distance from us, so why not stay here peacefully, as you can’t get out anyway."

"I think you forgot something," Li Qian strolled around the study, his shoes squeaking on the wooden floor.

"What?"

Li Qian smiled slightly, standing beside him, "Now, the B-city base is experiencing wave after wave of zombie torrents, and the same is happening at the borders of G-city, which means what?"

Su Mo continued his point, "The zombies running rampant in G-city will become overrun with zombies."

"So, actually, it’s not just us who need to leave, but you as well," Li Qian placed one hand on the desk, slightly leaning over to look at him.

Li Ming sat up straight, his gaze piercing toward Su Mo, "What relation do you have with that small zombie? Are the swarms because of you?"

Su Mo had no idea how many of the zombies were brought by Yang Yichu, but now, she admitted frankly and nodded, asserting, "Yes, he is my brother."

"Honestly, I have never seen a talking zombie before, Mr. Lu, can you tell the level of that zombie?" Li Ming turned his head to ask Lu Chen.

Lu Chen shook his head decisively, "Cannot."

Li Qian: "A Level 6 Power Zombie is subservient to that small zombie, we have reason to believe its level is even higher."

"It will come for me," Su Mo suddenly said, her hands planted on the desk, leaning toward Li Ming, uttering word by word, "We must leave."

A Level 5 Superpower User joined by two Level 4s, Li Ming really did not want to let go, especially since these were people his brother had specifically noted, "You can rest assured, even if there are so many zombies outside that there’s no place to step, we won’t starve, we have an ecological garden and some fish..."

Su Mo cut off his persuasive words, switching the topic, "A few days ago, in your brother, Mr. Li’s room, I discovered something."

She pointed at the ceiling above with her finger, then raised a naive-looking smile and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

The atmosphere around Li Ming suddenly shifted, becoming somewhat dangerous, "What did you see?"

Lu Chen immediately protected Su Mo behind his back, exuding a powerful aura; with his height of 1.9 meters, he towered over Li Ming from above.

Su Mo curved her lips, something was indeed not right.

Li Qian watched Su Mo’s expression, connecting it to the sphere shrouded by Li Yun’s impenetrable roof, it seems, that unspoken secret is in the attic.

Su Mo articulated her thoughts singlehandedly, "We don’t want to overstay our welcome, nor do we mind forging our way through the border, and I am willing to keep all of Li Yun’s secrets."

She also tugged on Lu Chen’s sleeve, "The oil you stored with us, we can offer all of it too."

This stance was about to hold his oil hostage, and Li Ming’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

Su Mo spoke so definitively that it made Li Ming wonder if she really had discovered something.

Actually, privately, she was sweating while holding Lu Chen’s palm. What secret? She had only heard some abnormal noises, but given Li Ming’s attitude, it seemed necessary to investigate.

After pondering for a while, Li Ming pulled a piece of chewing gum from the drawer, opened it, and threw it into his mouth. "Don’t be delusional, you’ve seen the situation outside."

Zhao Changsheng, who had been silent and invisible at the side, finally couldn’t hold back. "Can you just get to the point? Why all the roundabout nonsense?"

Su Mo shook her head regretfully, "Fine, we’ll go out and tell tomorrow..."

"Three days, three days," Li Ming stood up, his face tensing, he looked at Su Mo with a warning in his eyes, "I hope you can keep your promises."

"Deal!"

After sending them out, Li Ming slammed the door shut, producing a resounding noise.

Back on the road, Su Mo slightly loosened her grip on Lu Chen’s hand.

The man glanced down at her, "On purpose?"

A very flat declarative statement.

Su Mo nodded, speaking in a low voice, "But there really is something in the attic, I definitely heard it last time."

Her evolved hearing was exceptional, naturally picking up some unusual noises.

Li Qian, walking alongside, said, "Anything that makes him that nervous can’t be good."

"Who’s to say otherwise," Su Mo looked up at the night sky, wondering about the situation outside.

...

In the darkness, the sounds of countless zombies filled every corner of the city.

At the edge of City G, as if summoned, zombies began to converge towards the center.

...

Back at the house, everyone sat on the couch.

Unable to sit still after checking on Ling Ye, Su Mo walked into the kitchen, "I’ll make some food, our protective shields on the road might not be enough."

As Li Ming had said, if the border is overwhelmed with zombies, the duration of the protective shields becomes very important.

"I’ll help you peel the pumpkin," Zhao Changsheng followed her into the kitchen.

Su Mo popped her head out towards the people in the living room, "You guys come up with a route as soon as possible. I always feel this place isn’t very safe either, and besides, we’ve threatened Li Ming."

Lu Chen nodded, a map was spread out on the coffee table, Li Qian leaned over, and the two began quietly discussing something.

...

Li Ming slumped back into his chair, deep down he would never agree to a so-called evacuation, but if things were exposed on Li Yun’s side, it might very well lead to disputes among his men.

He looked up at the ceiling, his wife was still here, and if he took her with him, she wouldn’t survive in that world filled with killings.

After pondering in the dark for a long time, Li Ming bowed his head, his face swallowed by the shadows.

As time passed, the radio in front of him started to emit a crackling noise.

Li Ming looked up, grabbed the microphone, and turned the volume of the channel all the way up.

It was a strange frequency, one he had never received before.
