Chapter 383 Strange Points
Although Ling Mo’s words were plain, everyone knew the real situation was far from easy.
Not long ago, they had narrowly escaped from the Summer Family, almost dying on the way. Had it not been for the girls who saved them, they would likely have become corpses by now.
Even Summer Jincang found that the guards of the Summer Family were no match for those monsters, highlighting just how strong those creatures were.
Additionally, the Ability Bureau was currently broadcasting live footage of the situation in the city, allowing citizens and rescuers to better understand the dangers they faced—there were even more demons roaming the city than they had encountered on their journey.
Yet, how had they managed to slice their way through such terrifying monsters with just two people?
Was this all some kind of joke?
Even Summer Weihan looked at Ling Mo with a hint of suspicion.
After all, Summer Xinyan had quietly chosen this seemingly ordinary young man as her boyfriend, which had already upset many in the elder generation of the Summer Family, especially her cousins, who, under Summer Jincang’s various jabs, naturally had low opinions of Ling Mo.
Despite recent online claims hailing Ling Mo as a divine being, they still thought he was merely living off Xinyan’s coattails, including a great deal of chatter about how Xinyan was too naïve, with Summer Jincang mentioning that she was even tricked into refusing to go home.
So when they saw Ling Mo carrying Summer Xinyan in just now, he had the urge to take Xinyan back.
Just as they pondered the truth of Ling Mo’s words, Zhang Zhen and others entered the room, reuniting with the brothers inside, and immediately broke into excited embraces, shattering the earlier strange atmosphere.
Bai Yan watched on the side and timely interjected, “I know you’re excited about reuniting, but this isn’t the time to celebrate.”
Saying this, she turned to Ling Mo: “That explosion you just set off probably attracted a lot of demons. The defense wall won’t hold up for long.”
Summer Xinyan thought for two seconds and said, “Then let’s lead them away.”
“Are you leaving it to you to do?” Bai Yan asked.
Though a question, her tone was assertive.
Summer Xinyan smiled, “Don’t you see that I can’t even stand? Aren’t you guys going to help?”
Bai Yan paused and nodded: “I can go with you.”
“We’ll go too!” Zhang Zhen and the others quickly stepped forward.
But Summer Xinyan shook her head: “No need, the fewer people doing this, the better. Just the three of us will be fine.”
“Xinyan, you’re going?” Her cheap dad immediately became anxious, “Didn’t you say you can’t even stand? What can you do? Let them go, you stay here.”
“Ling Mo will protect me,” Summer Xinyan smiled slightly, offering comfort.
Summer Weihan couldn’t help but frown.
His sister was truly deceived… She still wanted to stay with Ling Mo like this.
At this moment, Ling Mo also replied earnestly, “Uncle and Aunt, don’t worry, I will protect Xinyan.”
Her cheap dad seemed a bit agitated and immediately said, “You protect? With what? I’ve already said…”
But before he could finish, his cheap mom pulled him back: “Did you forget what I said to you?”
Her cheap dad paused, and although he was angry, he still closed his mouth.
Ling Mo remained unfazed, staying serious: “I will protect her with my life.”
“You just know how to say that! You…” Her cheap dad wanted to protest again but was silenced by a sharp look from his cheap mom, forced to sit there in silence.
After observing them for a bit, her cheap mom asked, “Xinyan, do you really want to go?”
“Mm,” Summer Xinyan nodded, “Don’t worry, Ling Mo can protect me.”
She could sense their genuine concern for her.
Because of that, she felt compelled to help; only by resolving things quickly could they all truly be safe.
With this said, the others were at a loss for words and could only watch the three leave.
Moments later, Summer Weihan suddenly turned to Zhang Zhen and asked, “Did you come here with them?”
“Yes!” Zhang Zhen nodded.
“Did they really fight their way through?” Summer Weihan asked again, “Is Ling Mo really that impressive?”
Better not speak of it, but as soon as Zhang Zhen mentioned it, he got excited: “Not just impressive! He’s incredibly powerful! At one point, we were almost overwhelmed in the Villa Area, and I was ready to go down with the monsters when—boom! A huge mecha suddenly descended from the sky and wiped those monsters out in an instant! It was Ling Ge and Miss Summer who saved us!”
That was real admiration to call him ‘Ling Ge’ willingly.
Once the topic opened, it wouldn’t stop. Zhang Zhen’s brothers quickly chimed in, sharing their experiences along the way, nearly portraying Ling Mo as a god of war descended.
This inevitably made the Summer family’s expressions gradually strange.
Was Ling Mo really that formidable?
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ling Mo carried Summer Xinyan and Bai Yan out of the residential community.
The city center was in utter chaos: screams and cries filled the air, flames blazed everywhere, and it looked like the end of the world.
During this time, the fatty contacted them to check on the situation—the focus being the explosion, making it sound like someone had dropped a nuclear bomb in the city. When learning that it was caused by Summer Xinyan, the fatty was quite surprised, saying, “You actually had a chance to blow things up and let it go?”
Summer Xinyan naturally heard this.
Suddenly, she began to feel that Ling Mo letting go of this opportunity might have been intentional.
Of course, it could also be that she just had bad luck and picked a spell with side effects.
So, just how long would she have to nestle in Ling Mo’s arms?
Feeling as incapacitated as a ragdoll.
It’s worth mentioning that the fatty also told them another thing—the number of demons in the city seemed to be increasing, completely different from the usual invasion events.
In normal invasions, aside from rule-based invasions that could continuously produce various strange creatures based on the Source of Invasion, all other forms of invasions started with a fixed number of monsters. For instance, in this seemingly typical demon invasion, if only five demons entered at the beginning, only those five would show up throughout the event; they wouldn’t increase.
But the current situation was different—the number of monsters was on the rise.
Even faster than they could kill them.
