16 Ling

Zhao Yi was enraged when the group kept ignoring him even though the other survivors had already began chewing them out.

"You brats! Pretending to be deaf and ignorant, huh? See how this uncle deal with you!" Zhao Yi shook his fist madly and came forward.

He did not feel fear even when he saw that one of them was carrying a pair of daggers and a sword. It was only a woman who was still young. Besides, what can a little woman do aside from having a pretty face?

Lilian Mo didn't move even when Zhao Yi was standing beside her.

"Apologize and hand over your food! Then we can forget about your mistakes and offense!" Zhao Yi said smugly, looking at them threateningly.

Lilian Mo sipped from her bowl and closed her eyes, not the least bit bothered by his threat. Mu Qingqing lowered her gaze and also didn't say anything. She remembered what her Momo told her. Never trust other men.

"You..!" Zhao Yi became even more angry when he heard no response. He was about to grab Lilian Mo's hair when a blast of air sent him flying across the road.

Mizuki Rei's right hand was outstretched. He did not look pleased that someone came to interrupt their meal. He had unknowingly moved and released his ability.

He blinked his eyes in surprise when the man flew away and landed on the cement with a loud thud, followed by the sounds of bones breaking.

"Gah!" Mizuki Rei stared at his hand dumbly.

Mu Qingqing was also surprised. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him.

"Ling, that was amazing!" She said with admiration.

Lilian Mo glanced at Mizuki Rei who was still staring dazely at his hand. She smirked.

"It was just an accident. It's not like he could use it as swiftly as that infront of mutants." Lilian Mo deliberately incited him so he would feel more determined to prove her wrong. He did not disappoint because his eyes hardened.

"I'll show you, that I, Mizuki Rei am not a weakling!" He shouted. It was so loud that it can be heard from all across the station.

Lilian Mo shook her head at his stupidity.

The remaining survivors became stiff as stone when they saw what the young man did to Zhao Yi. They unconsciously stepped back out of fright, fearing that this youngster would take revenge.

"Eat quickly. We're heading out." Lilian Mo wiped her lips with a napkin and started cleaning up.

The other two blinked at her nonchalance but because they were starting to get used to her decisive behavior, they did not question it and did as told.

Lilian Mo pulled out her daggers. When she saw that Mizuki Rei was finished. She handed it to him.

"Your shout attracted some mutants. Get rid of them."

Mizuki Rei made a face but when he saw the approaching group of mutants, he paled. There were so many of them! How was he going to deal with all of them!

The rest of the survivors who heard their conversation also paled.

"Oh no.. What do we do..?"

"We're going to die! We're going to die! And it's all their fault!"

"They attracted those monsters!"

When death came knocking down their door, all the blame was pushed towards the newcomers. They were all hungry, cold and deprived of sleep. At the face of death, they could no longer think rationally.

"It's you brats! You purposely made noises to call those monsters, did you?!"

"Who would have thought that despite being so young, you kids are already so evil!"

"This is all your fault! You should go and get rid of those monsters!"

Lilian Mo became annoyed at all the noises and slammed a hand on the wall, creating chains of cracks that was slowly destroying the pillar.

"Shut up! Keep yapping and you'll attract more mutants!"

They turned deadly quiet when they felt a dark aura leaking from the tall and beautiful woman with short hair. Her smooth and fair face was cold and aloof. She looked like a demoness that was sent to earth to lure unsuspecting mortals. Despite that, they could not help but marvel over her beauty while fearing for their lives at the same time.

"Ling, go ahead. I'm taking the little girl with me." When Lilian Mo released her hand from the wall, the pillar crumbled down and turned into a pile of debris.

The remaining survivors backed away when they saw this. The woman's monstrous strength made them tremble uncontrollably.

Mizuki Rei was also shocked by this but he slowly calmed down, getting used to the idea that Lilian Mo isn't ordinary.

He nodded and clenched the daggers, heading towards the horde.

Lilian Mo pulled Mu Qingqing with her.

"Remember what I said. Aim for the kernels if it's a plant or animal. Destroy the head if it's a human mutant."

The couple heard her and wielded their blades. Lilian Mo kept an eye on them and killed her own part of the horde. Low ranking mutants were no different than mannequins to her. They were slow, they were weak and they did not possess consciousness or intelligence aside from the instinct to kill and eat.

"Get away from me!" Mu Qingqing shrieked as she plunged a dagger down the mutant plant's kernel.

Lilian Mo nodded when she saw this. She also noticed that Mizuki Rei was holding his own. She was surprised that he was already using his wind ability and was using them to fend off the mutants every time he was about to be cornered.

"Ling! Imagine a sharp blade!"

Mizuki Rei's eyes flashed when he heard this.

His hands glowed and a series of wind cutters unleashed from his body, slicing through the mutants that surrounded them. Some hit the kernels while some missed but he quickly attacked those and destroyed their kernels before they could regenerate.

Lilian Mo when seeing this, could see the past Mizuki Rei infront of her.

The second highest ranking wind ability user of Z-base, who was named Slasher.
