The Jade Pendant Being Peeped At
Lin Mo sat on the ground with his back against the wall, his eyes closed and his head lowered. His hair falling in front of his forehead covered his eyes.
Although the voices around him were low, Lin Mo, who was dizzy, still felt the noise in his ears.
However, having stayed in this environment for two weeks, Lin Mo was able to ignore it as much as possible, but the smell here made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The conference hall gathered more than half of the students in their college, from freshman to junior, three grades in total.
They have been here for two weeks, and the group has broken down from a single entity into smaller teams.
During this period, there were arguments over various things. Every time we went out to look for supplies, half of the people would be missing when we came back, and those people also went from being noisy at the beginning to being silent.
There are too many zombies outside the school, and there are also many student zombies wandering around the campus.
No one took the initiative to suggest leaving the school and going outside. They now placed their hopes on the military, the people's protector, and believed that the army would come to rescue them.
"Lin Mo, are you okay?" A female classmate sitting next to him saw him with his head down for a long time without moving, thinking that he had a serious fever, so she asked.
"It's okay... cough cough..." Before he could finish his words, the itching in his throat came up again, and Lin Mo covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
My body was shaking from coughing and my head was a little sore.
"...You should drink some water. I see you haven't had a sip of water all day." The female classmate heard the hoarseness in his voice and advised him.
Her hidden gaze also fell on the bottle of water in his hand, and her eyes were a little hot.
"No... I'll wait for Qi Ming and the others to come back..." Lin Mo tightened his grip on the water bottle and whispered without looking up.
"Tsk, Master Lin, are you worried that it will be gone after you drink it? Doesn't your friend have water-related abilities? He should be frugal with this little bit of water?" A seductive voice suddenly rang out, and the clattering sound of high heels came closer and closer.
Lin Mo frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
Shen Qingyao suddenly came over to him a few days ago and tried to get close to him. She would often come over after the three of them had almost finished their food and ask if he wanted to exchange his jade pendant for food.
Lin Mo felt something was wrong after hearing this. He had been wearing the jade pendant since he was a child and had never taken it off and rarely showed it.
The only ones who knew about it were my parents, two brothers and childhood friends. How did Shen Qingyao know about it?
With a strange feeling in his mind at that time, Lin Mo ignored her after she rejected him.
"Are you worried that you won't have any water to drink after his two friends don't come back?" A girl standing next to Shen Qingyao laughed, her eyes full of malice.
“Don’t go too far…” Lin Mo’s face turned ugly when he heard what they said, and he stood up with some difficulty, holding on to the wall.
"Hey, what? You're so weak and you still want to beat us?" Another girl standing next to Shen Qingyao mocked.
"You three are all classmates. Is it necessary to say such harsh words?" The girl who just sat next to Lin Mo frowned and said.
When the other people around heard their argument, they just turned their heads to look and then didn't react any more.
Those three girls are all supernatural beings, and there is someone above Shen Qingyao standing in the middle, so they can't afford to offend them.
Although Lin Mo is a second-generation rich man, he has no special powers. In the apocalypse, if you don't have special powers, no matter how much money you have, it will be useless.
What's more, Lin Mo is a petite and weak young man. He was caught up by the zombies after running a few steps. He is not worthy of being their teammate.
However, even though this guy is useless, he has two friends who are good at fighting to protect him. This is also the reason why other people can't stand Lin Mo.
Before they could continue arguing, the team that went out to look for food came back, but they looked a little wolfish.
When the other students who were originally sitting there saw them bringing food back, they stood up and rushed over, but before they could get close, they were separated by a dozen people.
Lin Mo leaned against the wall, his eyes wandering among the returning teams. However, after waiting for a long time, he still did not see Qi Ming and Rong Yuqi.
Lin Mo's eyes were a little flustered, but he didn't believe that the two of them didn't come back.
"Lin Mo, I don't think I've seen your two friends?" The girl standing next to him said with a look of reluctance on her face.
"Maybe he's still behind..." Lin Mo's hands, which were holding the hem of his shirt, trembled slightly, and his face turned pale. He rubbed his sweaty palms on his clothes and said with difficulty.
"Lin Mo, I really like your jade pendant. How about you give it to me and I'll let them protect you to the next base?" Shen Qingyao leaned against the wall and said with a smile.
It would be nice to take it and use it as my own golden finger before Lin Mo discovers the secret of his jade pendant.
Anyway, if this spiritual spring space is in Lin Mo's hands, it will only be his death warrant. If he takes it away, he can also avoid the torture of those scientific research lunatics.
As long as she used it carefully in the future and didn't let others find out, this spiritual spring space could still be her amulet, Shen Qingyao was calculating in her mind.
Although she couldn't become the heroine, fortunately she had activated her supernatural powers and was now about to get a golden finger.
As long as she waits for her original parents to come and pick her up to the northern base and stays there well and doesn't do anything stupid, she should be able to survive until the end of the world.
"Your two friends probably won't be able to come back. How about I ask my parents' people to give you a ride when they get here?" Shen Qingyao collected her scattered thoughts and said in a gentle and persuasive manner.
"Shut up!" Lin Mo suddenly raised his head and stared at the girl in front of him with a grim look on his face.
He didn't understand why Shen Qingyao's personality had changed so much in the past few days. Even if the relationship between the Shen family and the Qi family was not good, it wouldn't be like this.
Moreover, even if you don’t feel a bit sad when you hear that your classmate can’t come back, there is no need to expose other people’s scars with a smile, right?
"Tsk, I didn't expect Young Master Lin to lose his temper." Shen Qingyao sneered, then approached Lin Mo before he could react and pulled off the jade pendant from his neck.
Before, Shen Qingyao would still ask politely out of consideration for the two boys next to him, but now that those two are not coming back, there is no need for her to pretend anymore.
Although Lin Mo's family has a high status in Shangjing, the Shen family is not low either.
Their family suffered many deaths and injuries in the apocalypse, and the three brothers never saw each other again until they died.
The people in the Lin family are either villains or cannon fodder, so Shen Qingyao is not worried at all about the consequences of bullying Lin Mo now.
"Hiss... give it back to me!" Lin Mo covered his neck which was burning and stinging from the friction of the rope, and shouted angrily.
"It's just a jade pendant, why is it so precious?" After Shen Qingyao confirmed that it was exactly the same jade pendant described in the novel, he put it in his pocket.
Seeing that the quarrel had broken out again, the others turned their attention back.
"Lin Mo, it's just a jade pendant, forget it..." The boy next to him whispered to Shen Qingyao when he saw her arrogant look.
"My parents gave it to me and I've been wearing it since I was a kid. Why should I give it to her if she wants it?! Doesn't the whole world revolve around her?!" Lin Mo cursed with his neck turned red with anger, his throat so dry and hoarse that it seemed like smoke was about to come out.
My brain was already suffering from a low fever, and after I cursed, the lack of oxygen to my brain became even more severe.
When everyone heard Lin Mo's words, they all looked at Shen Qingyao, with some caution and gossip in their eyes.
"Shen Qingyao's personality didn't seem to be like this before, right? Why has she changed so much recently?"
"Yes, his personality has changed a lot. He used to be very gentle, but now he has become very arrogant..."
"I noticed that she has been staring at that junior student these days. I thought she was interested in him, but I didn't expect that she was eyeing his jade pendant..."
"They actually snatched it away. That's too blatant..."
The people around them looked at them and murmured.
Shen Qingyao looked a little unhappy as Lin Mo had humiliated her in front of other people.
"It's just the survival of the fittest. Haven't you heard of that?"
"Qingyao, don't go too far." A boy suddenly spoke up.
"Got it, Brother Shang."
Lin Mo looked at them and suddenly realized, "You guys..."
The fact that Qi Ming and A Qi didn't come back must be related to Shang Chen.
"Shen Qingyao, I'll say it again, give the jade pendant back to me!" Lin Mo shouted angrily when he saw her turning around and trying to leave.
"Do you think it's possible..."
"Bang--"
The originally tightly closed door was kicked open, and the loud noise of the iron door hitting the wall covered up Shen Qingyao's unfinished words.
The others were frightened by this sudden change and screamed, especially the timid girls, who thought that the zombies outside had broken in through the door and ran around screaming and holding their heads.
Lin Mo's eardrums hurt from their sudden shouting, and his face turned even paler. Others passed by and knocked him back a few steps, causing him to lean against the wall.
"Fuck! Why are you yelling? Shut up!" Qi Ming, who was standing at the door, kicked the iron gate and roared.
Hearing the sound of the iron gate being kicked again and hearing Qi Ming's words, everyone fell silent instantly.
"Qiming?!" Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Mo looked up at the door with surprise in his eyes.
Qi Ming and A Qi are fine!
"You dare to bully Lin Mo while I'm away. Shen Qingyao, you are very capable, right? Do you, the Shen family, want to completely break off relations with the Lin and Qi families?" Qi Ming walked over and said with a gloomy face.
Even in the end times, the status of several major families in Shangjing would not be greatly affected, not to mention that the eldest son of the Lin family is the leader of a special military force.
Before the end of the world, it cannot be said how high or how great one’s status and power are, but in this end of the world, one’s voice is definitely higher than that of the rulers of aristocratic families.
No matter how low-key the Lin family was in the past, they could not be bullied by the Shen family.
When Shen Qingyao saw him, there was some panic in her eyes. He was still alive!
As soon as Cheng Yan saw Lin Mo for the first time, he quickly came to his side and hugged him tightly.
Found it.
This is his Momo.
Lin Mo was hugged by a stranger in ancient costume. He felt a little confused. What was going on?
“That…” Lin Mo’s whole body was stiff, and he didn’t know where to put his hands. He spoke hesitantly.
"Mo Mo..." Cheng Yan still held him tightly, as if to confirm his existence.
Lin Mo's ears went numb from the deep voice beside him, and his body trembled.
This guy even knows his nickname?!
Wei Yuan was even more surprised to see that Mr. Cheng, who had been taciturn and indifferent all the way, was actually hugging the young master.
It turns out that Mr. Cheng and Young Master have such a good relationship?
Does the young master have friends from a secluded family?
"Young Master, are you okay?" Wei Yuan walked over and looked at Lin Mo's overly pale face, and asked anxiously.
"It's okay, Brother Wei, why are you here? Where's my second brother? How is he?" Lin Mo pushed away the person who was still holding him and looked at Wei Yuan with an anxious look on his face.
There's no one protecting his second brother, so nothing will happen, right?
"The Second Young Master has bodyguards with him, and he's staying in the apartment waiting for us to arrive, so he'll be fine." Wei Yuan explained.
Cheng Yan loosened his arms and held his hand instead.
Qi Ming looked at Cheng Yan's actions, raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
It would be better for Lin Mo to have someone who could protect him. After his death, he and Ah Qi could also wait safely for the people from the Lin and Rong families to come.
"Lin Mo, how did this woman bully you just now?" Qi Ming pulled Shen Qingyao over by her clothes and asked.
Lin Mo struggled a few times but failed to pull his hand out. He raised his head slightly to glance at the strange man and unfortunately met his deep eyes.
Lin Mo's heart shuddered, and he quickly turned his gaze back. When he heard Qi Ming's words, his face instantly turned cold. He looked at Shen Qingyao, "She stole my jade pendant."
When Cheng Yan heard this, he looked down and saw a red and swollen mark on the back of Lin Mo's neck, some of which had already turned purple.
Cheng Yan's heart was filled with rage, and he looked at Shen Qingyao with cold murderous eyes.
He who hurt Momo deserves to be killed!
"Take out the jade pendant." Cheng Yan said coldly.
Those cold eyes were like biting ice, piercing into the flesh of the person being stared at.
Shen Qingyao looked at the man with eyes full of fear.
From the time I came to this world until now, the excitement that lingered in my mind suddenly cooled down, and my back was covered with cold sweat.
She will die!
I will die in the hands of this man!
Shen Qingyao's body trembled uncontrollably, and her right hand reached into her pocket uncontrollably to take out the jade pendant.
When Lin Mo saw her take out the jade pendant, he quickly took it back and put it away.
Qi Ming, A Qi and Brother Wei are all here, they can leave now.
Finally, I don't have to stay here and endure it anymore.
