Chapter 250: Enter the Courtyard

Lost soul and spirit.

Fan Bing found it hard to believe; only after a moment did she bend over and pick up the towel from the floor.

For the first time in her life, she began to doubt her own appearance.

Is my makeup ugly? Or does this outfit not suit Lin An's taste?

She had already imagined several different scenarios, even prepared herself to offer herself.

Of course, that was the worst plan.

As for men, before you let him sleep with you, your allure is at its peak.

But.

But the imagined scenarios are all after entering...

She never imagined she couldn't even get through the door.

Her steps unsteady, Fan Bing hugged the towel, gave a wry smile, and returned to her room, her thoughts in turmoil.

「Click—」

The sound of the door behind her opening was abrupt.

Her back to the door, her eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of delight.

Was it Elder Brother An opening the door to call her in?

Was my behavior just now too conservative? I shouldn't have deliberately covered my chest with my hands.

Be bolder, let go a bit.

Unwilling to sacrifice the child, you can't catch the wolf; this time I must really perform well...

Completely unaware.

Fan Bing didn't realize her emotions had become disordered.

Just as she forced a smile on her face and wanted to turn back, she heard a man's voice from behind:

「Bing Sis, why are you out so late? Want to come to my place? I got a little hot pot from the supermarket yesterday! 」

Li Lei looked dubiously at the goddess's back, but soon he beamed and raised the self-heating hot pot, shouting loudly.

You're still not asleep this late?

It must be those outsiders who made Bing Sis angry!

Especially that pretty boy, acting like he's something big.

That is, Bing Sis is pure-hearted and kind, unwilling to quarrel; otherwise I'd definitely go up and beat that kid.

Damn, just wait and see tomorrow!

Fan Bing's body stiffened as she turned back; she recognized that voice as Li Lei's.

Thinking of what she had just thought, combined with Li Lei's duck-like voice.

She felt as awful as if she had swallowed a fly.

For the first time, Fan Bing really didn't want to keep acting.

「I'm not hungry. 」

She forced down her nausea, gave a reluctant smile, then without hesitation pushed open her room door.

「Bang! 」

The door slammed shut; Fan Bing expressionlessly closed it, leaving only Li Lei with a stiff smile standing at the doorway, dazed.

「Plop. 」

The self-heating hot pot in his hand fell to the ground.

After a moment, he bitterly picked up the hot pot from the ground, giving a wry laugh.

Is it that Bing Sis doesn't like this flavor?

Or should I have prepared the hot pot properly before bringing it over?

Maybe my smile, practiced a hundred times, wasn't bright enough?

Lost soul and spirit.

Li Lei walked back to his room with unsteady steps, somewhat wanting to cry.

Unable to find why Fan Bing's mood was low, he instinctively blamed Lin An.

It must be that pretty boy who upset Bing Sis's mood.

Previously, Bing Sis's attitude toward him was gentle and considerate; how could it be as cold as today?

「Click—」

Li Lei himself pushed open the door, clenching his fists with a face full of resentment.

Suddenly, a hoarse, aged voice sounded from the pendant on his chest.

A mental transmission appeared in his sea of consciousness:

「Why bother hanging yourself on a tree? 」

「Kill the guy named Chu An, take his equipment. Once you're strong, what woman won't you have? 」

Li Lei lowered his head, his gaze gloomy:

「Master, Bing Sis is different. 」

「But that pretty boy, I will kill him!! 」

「With you here, he could never be our opponent! 」

「Clang! 」

The second-floor window that had just been resealed was kicked apart again, revealing a dimly lit street.

「What are you guys doing?! 」

In the second-floor lobby, the original survivors inside the inn stared at Zhang Tie with surprised faces, feeling dissatisfied but not daring to say more.

Lin An, Zhang Tie, Mo Ling, Gao Tian.

The four stood casually before the breach, looking toward the hospital gate not far away.

"What the hell are we blocking?"

"With this scrap copper and rotten iron, what monsters can you possibly stop?"

Xiong Hanzi exerted a little force, enlarging the kicked-open window a bit, and without turning back replied to the crowd behind him.

Successive sounds of footsteps going downstairs rang out.

Li Lei's face was full of anger, and upon hearing a loud bang he hurried downstairs.

"Who knows what these outsiders are up to again!?"

Wang Kun's expression remained unchanged; he simply stared fixedly at Lin An and the others standing before the breach.

One night without sleep, still unable to sleep.

Last to appear was Fan Bing; after returning to her room she took off her evening gown and changed into a fresh set of sportswear.

Having guessed Lin An's thoughts for a long time, she decided to change her style.

Perhaps Lin An dislikes weak women, thinking that her wearing a dress is too affected, which is why she gave him a cold look.

After all, it's the apocalypse now, not a peaceful prosperous age.

Fan Bing gazed at Lin An's back as he stood before the breach, a flicker of doubt crossing her eyes.

"He wouldn't be leaving, would he?"

Before she could bear to speak up, Lin An suddenly threw the little girl beside him downstairs.

"Ah!"

"What are you doing!?"

"Quick, pull her up!"

Seeing this, the crowd was shocked, and many people became somewhat panicked.

Although there aren't many zombies outside, there are still plenty inside the hospital!

"What the hell are you doing!?"

"Are you throwing a little girl out to feed the zombies? What a vicious heart."

Zhang Tie turned his head, his voice ice-cold:

"Shut up, damn it, you're making a racket."

Li Lei's eyes flashed with anger, and together with Wang Kun they rushed to the breach to look outside.

All that could be seen was Mo Ling in pajamas, lazily swaying toward the corpse horde, as if the distant pitch-black hospital were not a zombie playground but a children's amusement park.

"Little girl! Come back quickly!"

"Straight ahead are all monsters!"

Wang Kun glared at Lin An with a face full of anger, instinctively wanting to jump out the window to rescue her.

Although he couldn't be called a good person, seeing a girl about the size of a child about to die before his eyes, he could not bear it no matter what.

Li Lei let out a cold sneer, scornfully pointing at Lin An and shouting loudly:

"Sister Bing! Do you see this? This kind of person..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Just as Wang Kun was about to go down to rescue her, he only saw Mo Ling sprinting straight through two or three zombies without eliciting any reaction from them.

After sprinting all the way to the opposite side of the road, the little loli stood directly in the corpse horde, stepping on zombies' shoulders as a ladder.

"Holy shit!"

Everyone in the lobby stared dumbfounded at the scene before them, sucking in a breath of cold air.

"What the hell!?"

"Ignoring the zombies!?"

Zhang Tie let out a cold snort, muttering under his breath:

"You call us country bumpkins? I think you're the country bumpkins..."

Lin An couldn't be bothered to deal with the incredulous crowd.

Mo Ling went down to summon the zombies, drawing them all out.

Otherwise, the zombies hiding in every corner of the hospital would be too troublesome, hindering movement.

"Let's go, split up and act."

"Mo Ling, activate your skill, be faster."

At the command, Zhang Tie grinned and leapt out the window, heading straight toward the second-level mutant.

At the hospital's right-side gate, the tiny dark speck that was Mo Ling directly activated her skill, and a pallid death energy shot up into the sky.

Unlike before, when it was like a weapon, the death energy after becoming an undead body had a substantial, ink-like quality.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Hordes of zombies howled, large numbers pouring out of the hospital interior and surrounding the death energy at its center.

Behind them, the crowd breathed rapidly, their whole bodies trembling with excitement.

Not only could they ignore zombies, they could also summon them!

"What kind of perverse skill is this!?"

"With this skill, the apocalypse is practically a cakewalk!?"

Wang Kun looked almost fanatically at the distant Mo Ling surrounded by the horde, feeling that the girl was still alive.

Recruit her! Take her away!

If our team had such a player, establishing a Safe Zone wouldn't be difficult!

In an instant, myriad thoughts welled up from his heart.

Lin An ignored the near-frantic discussion behind him, taking Gao Tian straight to the hospital.
