But this is enough!
Ling Mo turned his head and looked in the direction of the granary.
This is, for now… the last trivial matter he has to deal with…
“Ye Lian, just wait a little longer, give a bit more ti… soon… you’ll be able to recover…”
…About ten minutes later, the “normal” granary Ling Mo ntioned appeared in the distance within everyone’s sight. Beyond the waist-high wild grass, they could clearly see the roofs of those warehouses and the small building standing among them.
In terms of scale, this granary was much larger than the one near Dawn Town. Also, Ling Mo was right, it seed very quiet inside… The curtains fluttered empty in the wind, and under the blazing sunlight, all they could hear was the constant chirping of insects.
Although the original ecosystem had collapsed, resilient creatures like insects still survived. However, these insects were no longer ordinary; walking through the wilderness, besides watching out for sharp grass blades, the thing to be most wary of was these little bugs.
If bitten, it wouldn’t be fatal, but it would be both painful and itchy, extrely uncomfortable. Everyone in the team had experienced this. So while traveling, their sleeves and pant legs were all tied tight, which was also the main reason they complained about the weather… It was really suffocating.
“Didn’t find anything suspicious.” Yuwen Xuan hugged a utility pole and looked around for a while, then jumped down to report.
“Describe the environnt inside in detail.” Ling Mo nodded and said.
Of course, he already knew all this, but having Yuwen Xuan say it was better than explaining it himself. Psychic sensing could detect living beings, but it couldn’t possibly sense the layout of the granary buildings, right? That’s just nonsense… and nonsense needs so basis…
“It’s just… I really am sorry for always bullshitting you guys…” Ling Mo thought helplessly. But so things are easier when you don’t know… So sotis, his concealnt wasn’t because of distrust…
Yuwen Xuan smiled and said, “Describing environnts? That’s my specialty. Well then, I’ll start with the big picture… The area of this granary is about three-fifths that of the previous one. Besides the warehouses for storing grain, there are two small buildings. One is only two stories, looks like an office building. The other seems to be a dormitory building. So, we can conclude that before the Cataclysm, quite a few staff lived here.”
“So, if we’re unlucky, we might run into Zombies inside. But for the sa reason, I think the chances of encountering Senior Zombies aren’t high.”
“Because of the base number?” Zhang Xincheng asked.
“Yes…” Xia Na continued, “There are still Zombies in that town, and we didn’t see any other villages or densely populated areas on our way here. So even if there are Zombies in this granary, they’re mainly made up of the people who originally stayed here.”
“That’s right, there weren’t many of them to begin with. Even if we add in all sorts of coincidences, the number can be kept under a hundred. After a year of slaughter, even if so are still alive, their evolution level must be limited,” Yuwen Xuan concluded.
Everyone exchanged glances… No Senior Zombies? That’s good news!
Looks like… we picked the right place this ti…
“In that case, there’s no need to rest anymore, let’s just go in,” Ye Kai said impatiently.
Mu Chen wiped his sweat and said, “I’d rather rest inside. After all this walking, I’m about to dehydrate.”
As they spoke, the two of them walked ahead, heading toward the granary.
Zhang Xincheng wanted to say sothing, but Yuwen Xuan waved him off: “Let them go, I didn’t sense any danger. Sooner or later we have to go in. It’s so hot now, waiting outside isn’t really resting.”
After saying that, he glanced at Ling Mo.
Ling Mo frowned slightly… Danger sensing? Indeed, he hadn’t noticed anything strange either… But when he looked inside through Xiao Bai’s eyes, he still felt sothing was off… The feeling was faint, almost fleeting, but the more so, the harder Ling Mo tried to catch it.
But… what exactly, or what event, gave him this feeling…
Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel that if he couldn’t figure it out, maybe… sothing bad would happen…
“Is that so? Then… Ling-Ge, why didn’t you tell them?” The Three Girls and Ling Mo fell behind, and after hearing Ling Mo finish, Xia Na couldn’t help but ask.
“Forget it, they’ve finally had a few relatively peaceful days. There’s no need to make everyone nervous when I don’t even have a clue,” Ling Mo shook his head.
Li Yalin thought for a mont, then solemnly intoned, “Could it be… that in the darkness, so danger… is waiting for us…”
“That was unconvincing,” Ling Mo said.
“Tch…” Li Yalin’s expression imdiately returned to normal, and she snorted in dissatisfaction.
“Alright, maybe I’m just being paranoid,” Ling Mo said with a bitter smile.
After his spiritual body grew stronger, his senses did beco much sharper.
But since then, Ling Mo hadn’t fought in any real battles, so whether this was a side effect of being too sensitive, or if he really sensed sothing, he couldn’t say for sure.
As Ling Mo’s group hurried toward the granary, whether quickly or slowly, in a certain corner inside the granary, a door was slowly being pushed open. As the crack appeared, a pair of eyes suddenly erged from the darkness. After a blink, those eyes turned from black to blood-red…
“Hmm? Did you just feel like soone was watching you?” Ye Kai, walking at the front, suddenly asked.
“Maybe it was Mad Xuan looking at you,” Mu Chen replied weakly, staring straight ahead. Suddenly, he shouted, “Look, there’s a car over there!”
But his shout didn’t interest Ling Mo and the others… Ling Mo had already checked that car. There was a lot of blood, but no corpse. And because of the blood, any other scent left in the car was completely covered up. Even if Xia Na and the others checked again, it would be hard to find anything.
“Look at this.”
Unexpectedly, Yuwen Xuan really did find sothing.
But his angle of observation was clearly different from the others. At this mont, he was lying on the ground, looking under the car and calling out, “The dust under here seems about the sa as everywhere else…”
Ling Mo was taken aback: “What do you an…”
But before Yuwen Xuan could answer, he had already figured it out.
