Chapter 1887: They’re Coming!
Even though these students weren’t all that reliable, they were obedient.
A cl.u.s.ter of flames set a pile of branches ablaze, and the little lady’s fair and delicate pet.i.te face shone bright red in the dim firelight.
After tucking her blanket in around her neck, Mo Lian looked off into the dark depths of the mountainous night.
This Mount Tai looked ordinary from the outside, but who knew what was lurking in the dark?
When the sky was barely light the next morning, Qiao Mu dazedly heard Mentor Zhou’s annoyed shouting.
After squinting her eyes open, she seemed to see Mo Lian’s handsome face swaying in front of her.
A low chuckle rang in her ear. “Qiaoqiao, do you want to sleep some more?”
Qiao Mu struggled to keep her eyes open, her eyes glazed over with mist.
Afterwards, Qiao Mu woke up at once. She sat up straight and coughed lightly. “Morning!”
Mo Lian caressed her pet.i.te face with a smile. “Do you want Hubby to carry you? You’ll be able to sleep for longer on the way.”
Everyone: “…”
By now, Mentor Wei Xu’s face had already darkened completely. This punk was spoiling her too much!
He thought that he had already gotten used to their sappy interactions, but he didn’t expect for his mental fort.i.tude to still be lacking!
“Humph!” You Xin snorted disdainfully. “What did you enter the mountain for if you’re so frail?”
Qiao Mu turned to give her a look that said “None of your business.” Consequently, You Xin gritted her teeth in indignation and turned her head aside.
“Alright, we can set out now if you’re all packed up!” Everyone got up at Zhou Danjin’s order.
...
“Mentor Zhou, are we looking for the zombie base straightaway right now?”
Zhou Danjin creased his brows. “The map does not indicate the location of the zombie’s base camp, so you can only search on your own. The mentors cannot provide any a.s.sistance.”
Afterall, the mentors were only sent to protect the students in times of danger.
The students needed to accomplish the task of sweeping through the zombie base themselves.
Zhou Danjin turned to look at Duanmu Qing. “Duanmu, you lead the team.”
Duanmu Qing merely nodded taciturnly without saying anything.
When Qiao Mu and company looked back, they saw that You Xin’s group had also followed them.
However, there was only this single mountainous path to take, so it couldn’t really be considered that You Xin and her group were following them.
“Coo, caw.”
The sound of birds could occasionally be heard.
Everybody looked warily ahead.
Suddenly, they heard a piercing scream.
Duanmu Qing was unperturbed, but the other two teams in front of them were in an uproar.
“They’re coming!” The little fatty hollered.
Everybody looked up and saw more than a hundred grotesque corpses chasing four to five people in their direction.
“Back away! Back away!” The head mentor of You Xin’s group s.h.i.+elded You Xin and his students like chicks.
On the other hand, Zhou Danjin just happened to do the opposite. He shouted, “Make sure that you protect yourself with defensive barriers. Go get them!”
The little fatty brandished his double-headed hammer and rushed into the fray headfirst. A *clang* suddenly rang, and his blade chopped a zombie into two.
The four to five people who had been escaping for their lives quickly turned around to give their thanks.
One of the people escaping had squatted down to dig around in the zombie’s brain. Seeing that it did not produce a core, the person frowned in displeasure. Still, he grabbed a bone from the dead zombie as proof.
While the little fatty, Qi Xuanxuan, and the others hacked at zombies without resistance, this person was just following in their footsteps to collect their spoils.
