Chapter 160: Obedient
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Before Lin Pei could react, he suddenly saw Ye Xingchen’s snowmobile moving further and further away.
He let go of the board and looked up blankly. Suddenly, he saw a few mutants coining towards him.
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Lin Pei suddenly jumped up from the ground with a roar. He then rolled and crawled to run.
However, it was already too late. The speed of those mutants was not slow. They quickly caught up with Lin Pei.
Lin Pei’s legs had long gone weak from fear. He could not run very fast at all. After a while, Lin Pei tripped over something and fell heavily into the snow.
“I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die.”
The fear reached its peak at this moment. Lin Pei simply closed his eyes tightly.
Since he was going to die, he might as well not look at those monsters.
However, one minute, two minutes, three minutes… Ten minutes passed, but the expected pain did not come.
“What? Am I already dead? Or is it so cold that I can’t feel the pain?”
Lin Pei stretched out his hand to prop himself up from the ground and turned over. However, when he turned around, he saw that a few mutants had already surrounded him in the middle.
“F*ck!”
Lin Pei was so scared that he quickly closed his eyes. Another ten minutes passed.
“Strange… Why aren’t they eating me?”
Twenty minutes had passed. Ye Xingchen took Mo Qi to hide on the roof of a slightly higher house, holding a telescope and looking at Lin Pei from afar.
Lin Pei suddenly thought of the possibility that Ye Xingchen had mentioned when he brought him out. Could it be that these mutants treated him as their own kind?
Lin Pei’s initial panic had dissipated a little. He sat up from the snow and slowly stood up. In the end, he realized that the mutants did not attack him. Instead, they surrounded him and twisted their bodies in a strange posture, making low whimpers.
?
Lin Pei was a little surprised, but at the same time, a glimmer of hope rose. Could it be that what Ye Xingchen said was right? These mutants regarded him as their own kind. Perhaps they would still listen to him?
“You guys, spread out a little and sir down.”
Lin Pei pointed at the empty space in front of him, but after two to three minutes, these mutants were still smiling foolishly around him and did not move.
Just as Lin Pei thought that they might not understand his words, a few mutants suddenly began to move.
Not only did they move, but they actually sat on the side as Lin Pei said.
“What the f*ck? Is this for real? Brother Ye is telling the truth? Will they really listen to me?”
Lin Pei was dumbfounded, and Ye Xingchen, who was standing in rhe distance and watching all this, was also a little surprised. Although he did not know if those mutants could understand Lin Pei’s words, or if they would listen to Lin Pei.
But at least, what Ye Xingchen saw through the binoculars was that those mutants didn’t hurt Lin Pei.
“Ha, fortunately, I didn’t throw Lin Pei away back then. 1 really shouldn’t throw away someone 1 picked up casually.”
Ye Xingchen had planned to throw Lin Pei out and let him fend for himself, bur now ir seemed that Lin Pei could still be of some use to him for rhe time being.
Not to mention the attack power of those mutated humans, just being able to make them obediently not attack their own people was already very useful.
If he could get the help of a mutant along the way, it would be very convenient for Ye Xingchen to get rid of Li Anran.
“Let’s go home.”
Ye Xingchen was in a good mood. This was a big discovery. He had to go and see for himself if these mutants would really listen to Lin Pei or if it was just a coincidence.
Lin Pei’s initial disbelief turned into joy.
At first, he thought that since he had become a monster, he might as well die and end it all. It would save him from hurting his former friends. But now, it seemed that if he could control himself, he might be of some use to Ye Xingchen.
If he was useful to Ye Xingchen, perhaps Ye Xingchen would come and save him.
In Lin Pei s eyes, Ye Xingchen was no different from a savior. At least, Lin Pei felt that Ye Xingchen was like a god, as if he was omnipotent and fearless. Everyone was clearly so afraid of these mutants before, but Ye Xingchen actually wiped them out with a single move.
“Let’s go home.”
Ye Xingchen carried Mo Qi back to Lin Pei’s side. He shouted at Lin Pei from afar.
With this shout, the few mutants sitting around Lin Pei in the snow were all attracted by Ye Xingchen and turned their heads.
Their movements were extremely fast. Although their postures were strange, after seeing Ye Xingchen, they all went over to Ye Xingchen.
“Stop! What are you doing?! Stop! Come back! All of you, come back!”
Lin Pei was shocked by this sudden change. He shouted a few times.
He was not afraid that these mutants would hurt Ye Xingchen. After all, he had seen how powerful Ye Xingchen was up close.
However, now that he knew that he had also been infected and mutated, he could not bear to see his own kind die in front of him, even though he was still very afraid and hated these mutants before today.
Moreover, these mutants seemed to be able to understand him. He wanted to take this opportunity to see if these mutants would really listen to his commands.
This time, the mutants reacted much faster. In just a few seconds, they actually stopped and obediently returned to Lin Pei’s side.
Seeing this, Lin Pei was especially satisfied and surprised. He ran to Ye Xingchen like a lackey and said with a hint of flattery, “Brother Ye, you’re really smart. How did you know they would listen to me?”
“I was really scared to death at first. You don’t know how terrifying they are. I almost thought I was going to die here.”
“Brother Ye, you’re so smart. If you didn’t bring me over, I wouldn’t even know I had this ability.”
“Brother Ye, did you just tell me to go home? Are you taking me home?”
Lin Pei had already begun to imagine being able to eat and drink well after turning back into a normal person with Ye Xingchen. If the mutants didn’t bite him, then why would he have to be careful and not dare to go out every day?
He would go out every day to look for supplies!
