Chapter 1139: Humans Really Are Strange

Chapter 1139: Humans Really Are Strange

Four hours later, under the blazing sun on the wild plains.

Everyone was cautiously making their way forward, while complaining uncontrollably.

“What the hell is with this weather!” Ye Kai cursed angrily.

“Yeah, getting roasted like this…”

“Logically, now that all the pollution is gone, I thought at least the air and climate would get better. But now… it suddenly makes me feel that all my past indignation and criticism were meaningless. Might as well have let humanity die in car exhaust!” Xu Shuhan wasn’t tired, but still mused thoughtfully.

“Hey, hey, no need to deny all the good things you’ve done! You know, as a Radio Host who only digs up gossip, what you did is already the brightest stroke in your life, your personal peak. Is it really okay to throw it away so easily?” Mu Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth and said solemnly.

Xu Shuhan replied simply, “Get lost!”

Mu Chen shrugged indifferently, then turned to ask, “Captain, what do you think? What’s up with this weather? If I’m not mistaken, isn’t summer not here yet?”

Ling Mo was looking at the map. Hearing this, he squinted and looked up at the sky, then answered blandly, “Just bear with it a bit longer, according to the map we’re almost there. As for the climate…”

The climate’s been crazy for a while now…

For example, the boundaries between the four seasons are already blurred…

The ecosystem changed, so the environment couldn’t escape either…

But fortunately, the climate changes aren’t too severe; humanity’s main enemy in survival plans is still those Creatures…

“As long as it doesn’t kill us, it’s fine.” Ling Mo ended the conversation with a blunt truth.

Everyone heard this and found it quite reasonable…

Indeed, these days, surviving is enough…

In the wilderness, the mutation panda was darting swiftly among the grass.

It was to arrive ahead of Ling Mo’s group and scout around the granary first.

This was Ling Mo’s special arrangement; back in Dawn Town, they’d suffered from lack of Intelligence.

This time, the Squad hadn’t arrived yet, but the probe moved first, greatly increasing safety.

And entrusting this task to Xiao Bai, who excelled in both scent and stealth, was clearly the best choice.

“If there are Zombies, let Xiao Bai take them out first!” That was Ling Mo’s plan…

Soon, a faintly visible wall appeared in Xiao Bai’s sight.

“MeGu!”

Xiao Bai immediately let out an excited snort, speeding up its short legs and charging toward the wall.

But at that moment…

Rustle… The grass behind Xiao Bai suddenly moved, and then a figure abruptly appeared among the wild grass.

He stared at Xiao Bai’s figure for a couple of seconds, then said hoarsely, “Only one… should I kill it?”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but stick out his tongue and lick the corner of his mouth…

At the same time, he silently dashed out, quickly trailing far behind.

He raised his arm, the fingertips reflecting a cold gleam in the sunlight…

Yet Xiao Bai kept running forward, completely unaware of the danger behind.

The figure kept his eyes fixed on Xiao Bai’s body… as if he could already see blood splattering everywhere.

“Evolution level… not low… the taste of its blood… should be good.”

But after a moment, the madness in the figure’s eyes faded. He shook his head lightly and lowered his arm: “No, that would alert them…”

As he hid himself back into the grass, the surrounding wilderness instantly returned to normal…

At this moment, Xiao Bai finally sensed something and turned its head.

The patch of wild grass was still swaying slightly. Just as Xiao Bai showed a wary look, a Zombie suddenly burst out from inside.

“MeGu!”

Xiao Bai immediately got excited, raised its paw, and charged forward…

“Hm? Clean?”

Ling Mo, still on the road, frowned after receiving Xiao Bai’s feedback.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Na keenly caught his change in expression and immediately came over to ask.

Ling Mo waved his hand, “Nothing, everything’s normal.”

A dozen Zombies dead, no other problems found. This situation could indeed be called normal.

Additionally, Xiao Bai found a car by the roadside.

From the current state, the previous group that came here had already been attacked by Zombies. They might all be dead, or some might have turned into Zombies… 𝘙𝙖ƝÖβЕṠ

But either way, with so many Zombies hiding nearby, this group definitely didn’t escape alive into the granary.

Because the granary’s main gate was open…

Ling Mo didn’t deliberately lower his voice, so Mu Chen immediately followed up, “Normal? What, is normal not good?”

“I don’t know… maybe it’s just too normal… At least that’s what my psychic probe shows.” Ling Mo added after speaking.

Seeing Mu Chen’s puzzled look, Ling Mo couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.

“Humans really are strange…” Li Yalin chimed in.

“Yeah, when things aren’t normal it feels dangerous, but when they are, it feels unsettling.” Black Silk hit the nail on the head.

“Captain, those Spider nests aren’t everywhere, don’t overthink it.” Ye Kai patted Ling Mo’s shoulder, trying to comfort him.

Yuwen Xuan sighed, then said out of nowhere, “Being captain is a tough fate…”

Seeing everyone look at him, Yuwen Xuan finally added, “I mean, Ling Mo has to worry about the Squad’s safety, so of course he has to be careful.”

“True…” Everyone understood.

Xia Na and the others also got it, and their gazes toward Ling Mo immediately carried a hint of something different.

After Ling Mo smiled at them, his eyes couldn’t help but drift to Ye Lian, who was walking at the back.

She was walking slowly forward with a blank expression; both her demeanor and the aura she gave off were very different from the usual dazed girl…

Perhaps the Miracle Squad members had noticed this too… but they’d rather complain about the weather than bring up such an obviously sensitive topic.

What if the couple was having a fight?

Fortunately, along the way, Ye Lian just quietly followed the Squad…

“But the troublesome thing is… even when I talk to her, most of the time she doesn’t respond…” Ling Mo sighed inwardly.

This feeling was like suddenly returning to the early days when he’d just gained control over her.

No communication, no reaction from the psychic link…

The only thing he could be sure of was that Ye Lian was still with him…

“I need to solve this once and for all…”

Ling Mo frowned, pacing back and forth along the gully, “Previously, I had made their connection with each other closer…. But the root of the problem was always there.”

Shana’s previous spiritual world was in a split state. Although it has merged now, the world is still in chaos.

She clearly has very strong spiritual power, but due to this chaos, she isn’t able to display her true power.

If the power source is malfunctioning, no matter how much power one draws, it would be useless…

“Then…. Is Ultraman also because of the confusion(chaos)…?” Ling Mo asked.

“No.” Dark Shana replied without hesitation, “That was the product of my normal thinking.”

“Hahaha… I was just casually asking….”

Ling Mo looked back at Silly Shana but found that she had her eyes closed.

“The Silly Shana here is just a piece of her consciousness, but now she is coming over…” Dark Shana explained.

As soon as she finished speaking, behind Silly Shana, a black hole suddenly appeared out of thin air.

“When I first heard you say she was coming over, I thought there would be a beam of light falling from the sky…” Ling Mo breathed a sigh of relief, “Fortunately, it was just a black hole that I have already seen before.”

Although this was a spiritual world that existed in Shana’s consciousness and anything could happen, seeing Ultraman made Ling Mo feel somewhat stunned…

Support the translator by reading the story at Go Create Me Translations where it is being translated currently.

A red light loomed within the black hole, and a vague figure appeared from the hole.

“Here comes another Silly Shana that’s probably going to merge with this Silly Shana….” Ling Mo couldn’t help thinking.

An arm suddenly appeared, and then grabbed the edges of the black hole, driving the owner of the arm to crawl out of the black hole with great effort.

The owner had a body made out of blue plastic, a circular head, and the fingerless “hand” suddenly popped out several long nails when they reached for the edges of the black hole. When she crawled out, those nails silently drew back.

“Ding!”

The bell on the neck rang slightly as it landed. The cat-shaped robot [1] with an expressionless face, similar to a model, suddenly opened the pocket in front of itself, and then reached in….

“Isn’t this…”

Ling Mo was completely stunned. When the cat-shaped robot pulled out a large ball of red light from his pocket and stuffed it into Silly Shana’s head, Ling Mo felt as if something had also been stuffed into his head as well.

“Is it actually pulling her consciousness out from the 4th dimension? Where the hell does Silly Shana usually hide? What kind of things are you guys doing in this spiritual world!? Aren’t you guys afraid of breaking it?!”

Ling Mo stared at the cat-shaped robot blankly. The human-sized robot looked as if it needed to be oiled, its movements were very stiff…

Seeing Ling Mo staring at it, the cat-shaped robot actually raised its arm and waved at Ling Mo.

After a few seconds, it slowly turned around, then crawled back into the black hole…

After plunging headfirst into the darkness, the black hole disappeared, and Ling Mo finally recovered from his shock.

“You must be feeling that this is very unbelievable, right?”

Silly Shana opened a pair of black and white eyes and looked at Ling Mo.

“There are a lot of unrealistic fantasies in the human brain. Most people just think about it, and then leave it in the back of their minds. They would think that this fantasy of theirs would never become a reality, but they wouldn’t have imagined that somewhere in their subconscious, a world imagined by them would slowly form. However, for many people, the subconscious plane is like a safe. They know that it’s there, but it can never be opened. Only until after their spiritual power reaches a certain strength, would they have the ability to open it.”

“You make it sound so esoteric… when in fact it’s really just an expectation from your childhood! But most people would want to have an omnipotent robot, yet your fantasy was actually wanting to go into that four-dimensional pocket!”

Ling Mo couldn’t help but shout.

“When I was little, I used to practice with swords every day. It was so harsh it got to the point where I kept thinking about where I could escape to…”

Silly Shana sighed suddenly and said, “I’m pretty sure kids around that age all have similar ideas, right? If things don’t go well, they wish to hide in a place where no one can find them.”

Before Ling Mo could comfort her, she smiled. “But these are things from the past. Now that I think about it, I’m actually very lucky. If I didn’t practice hard before, I might have died as soon as the apocalypse happened, and I wouldn’t have met you either…”

Being able to show this sentimental side was indeed something that only Silly Shana could do.

And being in the spiritual world this time allowed Ling Mo to understand Shana a bit more.

Since Dark Shana is a zombie, she follows her instincts, and does whatever makes her happy.

Silly Shana is a bit different. She retains her human ideals, so even if she killed a person that deserved to die, she would still feel uncomfortable.

The three of them looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

Dark Shana and Silly Shana looked at Ling Mo expectantly, while Ling Mo was thinking about a solution.

Truthfully, whether it was Dark Shana or Silly Shana, he wasn’t willing to give up either of them.

If Ling Mo really wanted them to devour each other until only one of them was left, he wouldn’t have stopped them previously.

“I used to hear guys wish that they could put their girlfriend in the soil and grow a girlfriend with a completely opposite personality…. Ai… I really don’t understand what kind of mentality a person would need to have to say those kinds of things.”

Ling Mo sighed, raised his hand, and pinched his eyebrows.

As a result, with this pinch, he felt his “head” become deformed, and after a moment of surprise, he silently retracted his hand.

Dark Shana and Silly Shana shouted at the same time, “Who the hell would say that?!”

Ling Mo stared at the both of them for a while, and suddenly his pupils shrank as he said, “The reason why you guys have conflicts is because you share the same body… but what if…”

An idea that had been in his head before, at this time, slowly formed in Ling Mo’s mind and gradually matured.

“Speaking of which, this method is very similar to the illusionist we fought previously, but there is a big difference…”

The spiritual phantom of the long-haired youth had something in common with Ling Mo’s idea.

But that phantom didn’t have its own consciousness, and it wasn’t possible to last for a long time, nor was it able to attack.

Ling Mo’s idea was completely different…

“Ahh… that way….”

Dark Shana and Silly Shana simultaneously showed a sudden realization and said.

“Isn’t this the same as being twins! At most, their personalities are different!”

Ling Mo stared at them and thought, “In fact, it’s much more powerful than being twins… The original body of Shana is a zombie, who excels in melee combat, but on the other hand, she also has a strong spiritual ability. If we could allow them to coexist at the same time without any conflicts, the combat power would be much better than just multiplying by 2.”

Preserving the instincts of a zombie allows Shana to fully display her melee abilities as a zombie.

But in terms of spiritual power, it requires one to possess human emotions to be able to fully display its powers.

“Plus, this would be a good cover for her identity….”

Although it’s impossible for ordinary survivors to figure out her true identity, if she was noticed by psychics, they would definitely treat her as a spiritual psychic….

All their problems would be solved in one fell swoop!

It’s just that this method was easier said than done…

Ling Mo looked at Shana’s spiritual world through the deep ditch, “Tell me, how much spiritual energy will it take to make a copy of all of this…”

….

“From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be waking up tonight.”

Lucy clutched her collar and sat next to the table, looking at Ling Mo, who was placed on the sofa, and said.

She glanced at girls and her expression looked a little awkward. Without Ling Mo, Lucy always felt nervous when she was alone with them…

“Cheer up Lulu. They’re all girls. What are you so afraid of!?”

Seeing Lucy hug her head and shake her head desperately, Yu Shi Ran glanced at her curiously, then turned her gaze towards Ling Mo.

The loli zombie’s gaze slowly moved down, and finally stopped at a special part before swallowing hard, “While he’s unconscious, I can finally look at my dessert….”

Ye Lian looked at Shana, who was next to her, and suddenly reached out, shaking her, “Hey…. What’s wrong with you?”

Shana slowly opened her eyes. Although it was only for a moment, Ye Lian was still able to see her eyes.

One pupil was red while the other was white, and both of them were just like a kaleidoscope, constantly changing…

“Ahh…” Ye Lian raised her hand to cover her mouth just as she was about to yell.

She opened her eyes wide and a bit of surprise was contained in her stunned eyes, “I saw… I saw brother Ling in Nana’s eyes….”

[1] – It’s Doraemon for those that still haven’t figured it out yet by now.

Chapter 1038: Dont Underestimate the Power of a Scream

Chapter 1038: Dont Underestimate the Power of a Scream

“So soon?”

Ling Mo rushed to the edge of the rooftop and looked down.

The streets below were already packed with Hellforged Monsters and Zombies, attacking each other while squeezing into the building. Some Monsters, unable to enter through the doors, were climbing the exterior walls, rapidly ascending. Given the building’s height, it would only be a matter of seconds before the first Monster claws reached Ling Mo’s current position…

“This is way too many…” Mu Chen and the others had also retreated to the rooftop, their faces heavy with concern as they witnessed the chilling scene. If they were held up by these Monsters, even for just a second, they would be facing an endless wave of hundreds, thousands of Monsters… In such a scenario, no one could guarantee their survival.

“Stop dawdling, let’s move!” Ling Mo quickly turned his gaze away and said, “Is the door secured? What about the stairwell?”

“All taken care of. At least for the first five seconds after they reach the top floor, they shouldn’t be able to get in here,” Ye Kai shouted back.

“That’s enough! Ye Lian!” Ling Mo turned to Ye Lian.

Ye Lian nodded in understanding and led the group to the other side of the rooftop. From here, looking diagonally downward, they could see another building. However, the height difference between the two buildings was nearly ten meters, and the gap was over five meters wide. Even if they landed safely, the only viable landing spot was a triangular area on the rooftop. Under such circumstances, a normal person would need considerable courage to make the jump.

But when thousands of Monsters surrounded the entire building, that courage became unnecessary. After jumping off this rooftop, they could reach another building… The subsequent buildings were all adjacent residential blocks. The distance was no issue for most of the Miracle Squad, who were either Zombies or had Enhancement abilities.

The route Ye Lian chose was the only lifeline for Ling Mo and his group, who were trapped in this dire situation.

The only question was…

Who would be faster, the Monsters or Ling Mo’s group?

But at this moment, no one wanted to dwell on that question… Their focus was on taking each step carefully to escape alive…

“We can help from below,” Xia Na suggested.

Xu Shuhan nodded, “Yes. Just do your best to jump over.”

Zhang Xincheng hoisted Skinny Monkey onto his back and said, “I’ll carry him down.”

“Since we have support, everyone jump on your own!” Ye Kai declared.

“Alright! Let’s not waste any time, jump!” Yuwen Xuan shouted, releasing a burst of sparks and “flying” towards the rooftop below. Zhang Xincheng followed suit, swiftly climbing down like a nimble gecko. As he neared the other side, he leaped and grabbed the rooftop railing with one hand.

Seeing the three had landed successfully, Ye Kai and the others also jumped towards the rooftop. The Female Zombies appeared effortlessly graceful, even Black Silk managed to jump down on its own, leaving those who had landed earlier momentarily stunned.

Ling Mo was about to move when he noticed Gu Shuangshuang still standing there, looking terrified as she gazed downward, her body trembling slightly. In the rush of everyone jumping down one after another, no one had noticed her…

“Are you afraid of heights?” Ling Mo asked.

“A little… I… I never dared to ride those drop towers before,” Gu Shuangshuang replied, suddenly veering off-topic. Seeing Ling Mo remain silent, she looked as if she was about to cry, waving her hands apologetically, “Really… I… I can’t jump… I’m sorry… I…”

“It’s okay,” Ling Mo interrupted, pulling her into his embrace. As Gu Shuangshuang widened her eyes, Ling Mo asked above her head, “Can you scream?”

“Wha… what?”

“If you’re afraid of heights, you should scream while swinging in mid-air, right?” Ling Mo asked.

Still caught in her embarrassment, Gu Shuangshuang asked blankly, “Swing… swing what?”

“Don’t worry, just scream as loud as you can. Here we go!” Before she could react, Ling Mo had already stepped onto the edge with her and leapt forward. 𝙧𝐀₦ÓβΕś

“Aaaaaah!”

Gu Shuangshuang shut her eyes tight in fear, letting out a high-pitched scream. Instantly, not only the Monsters climbing the building but also those on the street, including Zombies, looked up towards the sky.

Ling Mo swung back and forth in the air with Gu Shuangshuang, her screams echoing continuously.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a window on the top floor burst open, and a Monster cloaked in black fog lunged out, roaring at Ling Mo and Gu Shuangshuang nearby, “Roar!”

“Haha…” Ling Mo swung back with Gu Shuangshuang, and amidst her screams, he kicked the Monster square in the face. The force from the swing sent the Monster flying, knocking down several others behind it.

Before they reached the window, their bodies were pulled back, soaring directly towards the rooftop.

“Roar roar!”

Several Monsters once again emerged from the window, reaching out in an attempt to grab them… However, with their menacing claws waving in the air, Ling Mo and Gu Shuangshuang had already landed on the rooftop opposite.

“Alright, alright, you can stop screaming now. Those Monsters have given up on Rosen Company,” Ling Mo said, patting Gu Shuangshuang who was clinging tightly to him.

As soon as they landed, Ling Mo received several meaningful glances… including one from Xu Shuhan. But the Host quickly turned away as if nothing had happened when their eyes met.

Ye Lian and the three girls remained indifferent, and even Yu Shiran and Black Silk seemed to ignore the situation. It appeared that as long as it wasn’t a fellow Zombie, they wouldn’t consider it a “threat.” Xia Na did glance at them, but upon seeing Ling Mo’s awkward expression, she couldn’t help but flash a mischievous smile and ignored his pleading look.

“Xia Na!” Ling Mo shouted internally, then spoke to Gu Shuangshuang again, “It’s okay now…”

Gu Shuangshuang finally stopped screaming. She slowly released him, opened her eyes to look around, and then suddenly lunged at him again, exclaiming, “That was awesome!”

“Huh?” Ling Mo was ready to comfort her, but was surprised by her sudden outburst.

“It was so thrilling! We were flying over those Monsters’ heads, right? They were all watching us, weren’t they? Ahhh…”

Ling Mo struggled a bit, then looked at Mu Chen and the others with wide eyes.

Mu Chen silently shook his head, mouthing, “I don’t know anything… You handle it yourself…”

But within seconds, Gu Shuangshuang came to her senses, blushing as she released Ling Mo and whispered apologetically, “Sorry…”

“Ahem… Let’s move out,” Ling Mo coughed lightly and said. He glanced at Gu Shuangshuang inadvertently, catching her sneaking a peek at him with lowered eyes, and couldn’t help but pause for a moment. But quickly, he shifted his gaze and rubbed his temples in frustration… Next time he comes up with such a plan, he should definitely be more cautious…

As Ling Mo had anticipated, Gu Shuangshuang’s screams had redirected the Monsters and Zombies towards this building. While some Monsters were already climbing mid-air, more flooded into the building, Ling Mo and his group swiftly moved to another adjacent rooftop…

However, due to the urgency, they couldn’t block the stairway to prevent the Monsters from reaching the rooftop this time. So Ling Mo and the others barely paused before leaping to the next building. As they passed, Monsters surged out from the rooftop door, instantly swarming the entire rooftop and jumping towards the adjacent rooftop…

But more Monsters and Zombies remained inside the building and in mid-air, making it inevitable that the Monsters following Ling Mo and his group would gradually decrease as they jumped down from one building to another…

“Escaped?” On a distant street, a sewer cover was slightly lifted, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes. “No matter… next time… we’ll meet again.”

After gazing in the direction Ling Mo and the others had left, the cover was slowly placed back, and those eyes vanished completely beneath the ground… For Ling Mo, this scene was actually playing out for the second time… Only, last time he didn’t know, and this time, he still didn’t know…

Meanwhile, on another distant street, a figure stood atop a deserted high-rise building. Her vacant gaze seemed eternally fixed in one direction, and her face and hands, resembling those of a Porcelain Doll, were splattered with fresh blood… Yet, despite this, she appeared entirely non-threatening…

Behind her, within the balcony, and throughout the living room… dozens of Zombie corpses lay scattered, each with the back of their heads a bloody mess…

The figure sat on the balcony railing, her legs dangling in the air. As she licked the blood from her fingers, she gazed far ahead, her view extending over the desolate city below and the tall weeds, reaching towards an even more distant horizon…

“Ling Mo…”

Chapter 251 Part 1

Chapter 251 Part 1 – If You Don’t Court Death, Then You Won’t Die

Several survivors immediately stepped back, among these survivors only two of them decided to force themselves to summon the courage to face the zombie head on.

Although this was their first time cooperating with each other, but they were able to remain calm, and managed to barely withstand the zombie’s attacks.

But it was at this time that the soldier was in danger, and his other squad members were unable to help rescue him from his predicament.

Although a survivor rushed over to help, but the zombie was standing on the roof of a car, allowing him to only stab into the waist of the zombie.

Yang Ying was scared and screamed, she subconsciously looked back at Liu Qiang.

Just a moment ago, that soldier was still blocking the zombies in front of them…

Liu Qiang hesitated for a moment, but in the end he ended up taking a glance at Ling Mo’s direction and didn’t take any action.

If I exposed myself now, I might become more respected and gain importance…

But Liu Qiang felt that based on the personalities of that crazy woman and big man, they would never let him go to the military camp comfortably.

Maybe they might make him fight in the frontlines, to reduce the casualties of their soldiers!

“Since he is a soldier, he should be willing to sacrifice his life. Right now I finally have a way to go to the military camp now, I can’t take risks! ” Liu Qiang’s eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty.

During this whole time, it had only passed one or two seconds, and with the interference of the survivor, the soldier was able to barely resist the zombie, but getting his head ripped off was only just a matter of time.

At this time, a figure quickly rushed towards them, it was Ling Mo.

Considering the fact that if he allowed Ye Lian and the other two woman to take action, they might actually scare the shit out of everyone, so Ling Mo could only take action by himself.

His spiritual tentacles moved forward, and had already hit the zombie with a spirit strangulation attack, making it sluggish for a short time.

And during this time, Ling Mo had finally reached the car in front of him, he immediately jumped directly on the rear hood of the car, and he slashed the Tang sword that was in his hand.

The zombie’s head was immediately cut off and the soldier fell to the ground. “BANG”

The blood splattered, and the survivor immediately ducked by looking downwards in order to prevent the blood from splashing into his eyes or mouth.

At the same time, the other zombie was finally killed by the two survivors.

After jumping off the read hood of the car, Ling Mo coldly stared at Liu Qiang, revealing an undisguised look of contempt.

This soldier risked his life and didn’t take a step back in order to protect them, but when the soldier was in trouble, this psychic was still reluctant to help.

“TRASH!”

Ling Mo cursed in his head, then helped pull the soldier up on his feet.

But when he had just gotten up, Ling Mo discovered that the soldier was trembling violently, his breathing was also unsmooth, and even tears had come out from his eyes.

“Thank you….”

He coughed for a while before he was able to finally squeeze out those words.

Ling Mo still had an impression of this soldier, he was the X City soldier who said that he would save more people.

“How embarrassing…” He raised his hands to wipe his face and said with a hoarse voice.

“Don’t take it to heart.” Ling Mo reached out and patted his shoulder.

In all fairness, when someone faces death in the face, as long as it was a normal person, they would be scared.

The man showed a grateful look, and then quietly picked up the gun that had fallen to the ground.

Although all the other people were secretly relieved, but they didn’t have time to see if he was okay. They were all still in a battle.

In the distance, a large number of zombies were attracted by the smell of blood. The soldier took a deep breath and turned around and ran towards the direction of the zombies.

Although he was afraid, he still needed to fight since the battle never stopped.

As the attention of the other survivors and soldiers were being drawn elsewhere, Ling Mo started to walk back while holding his sword.

However, when he was passing by Liu Qiang, he vaguely heard him say, “Pretending to be a messenger of justice, how disgusting….”

With his keen spiritual force, Ling Mo’s hearing was much stronger than ordinary people.

Adding to the fact that his spiritual tentacles was also still outside his body…

Ling Mo immediately turned to look at Liu Qiang, then clenched his fist and walked over.

“Hey…What are you doing?”

Liu Qiang lifted his face up and looked at Ling Mo…..

“BANG!”

Before Ling Mo had even said a word, he had already punched Liu Qiang’s nose.

The severe pain made Liu Qiang suddenly groan, but before he had the chance to fall to the ground, Ling Mo had already grabbed him by his collar.

“You don’t want other people to know that your a psychic right? Then don’t resist, don’t even call for help! Being selfish isn’t wrong, but the degree of selfishness you have really makes me sick! He had just protected you! Hearing what you just said, do you really think he should just die for you?!”

Originally, Liu Qiang had the chance to resist, but the words said by Ling Mo made his mind go into complete chaos.

How did this person know that he was a psychic?!

To be continued…

Chapter 277 Part 1 - He Has A Strong Right Hand

Chapter 277 Part 1 – He Has A Strong Right Hand

“BANG!”

The moment when the giant claw was right about to touch his head, a circular energy field that was visible to the naked eye, suddenly appeared around Lin Tianxiang.

Five meters in diameter, it completely covered him and Ling Mo’s group.

The giant claw were stuck trying to penetrate the energy shield, making a loud noise as if it was penetrating a steel plate.

Lin Tianxiang was shocked and his face had turned pale. He quickly moved his submachine gun towards the target and sprayed.

The zombie with the giant claw was very fast. While it was constantly attacking the energy shield around Lin Tianxiang, it was also avoiding the bullets at the same time.

It occasionally got hit by some bullets, but there wasn’t any major impact towards the zombie with the giant claw.

“This zombie is too overpowered, and its reaction instincts are too quick.”

Ling Mo’s eyes widened, even with his sharp observation skills, it was difficult for him to capture the trajectory of this zombie.

This zombie with the giant claw had already flashed through Ling Mo’s line of sight several times, allowing Ling Mo to only barely see its appearance.

The zombie was kneeling on the ground, with it’s upper body raised up. It had one arm which was much thicker than a normal person. The long nails from that arm were as long as a steel needle.

With those claws, it could easily grab onto the walls or even hang from the ceiling.

Ye Lian and the other two women were also surprised to see this zombie. Having a strange appearance while being of the same kind of race would obviously spark a strong curiosity from them.

“Since I caught his attention, why don’t you guys take the opportunity to…”

Lin Tianxiang was about to finish saying something when he noticed that Ling Mo and his girls didn’t pay any attention to his fierce battle against the zombie with the giant claw.

“Hey! Can you guys not look at me so calmly while I’m getting my ass kicked!” Lin Tianxiang madly roared.

“Oh I’m so sorry, I was just captivated looking at you. You sir, are just too manly.” Ling Mo extended his spiritual tentacle and said, “Plus, didn’t you say that your energy shield could last for a really long time?”

“That is for ordinary zombies! This one is too fucking fierce! I can probably at most still hold on for two or three minutes!” Lin Tianxiang’s forehead had begun to sweat.

“Such shitty endurance…” Ling Mo’s expression became serious and he concentrated his spiritual force.

After several upgrades, his reaction speed rose, making not only his senses sharp, but also his spiritual tentacles became more flexible as well.

A few tentacles attached themselves onto Lin Tianxiang’s energy shield, like a spider waiting for it’s prey.

“Got it!”

Ling Mo subconsciously made a grasping action with his hand, and the spiritual tentacles immediately captured the zombie with the giant claw.

Although the mutant zombie was very fierce, it lacked intelligence which also meant that it’s spiritual force was weak, making it vulnerable to Ling Mo’s attack.

“We are in such a dangerous situation and you have the time to be captivated! Hurry the fuck up and think of a way on how we can deal with this mutant zombie….”

Before Lin Tianxiang could finish talking, he saw Ling Mo make a squeezing motion with his hand towards the mutant zombie.

The zombie with the giant claw, who was madly hitting the energy shield immediately dropped into the water, and before he could get back up, he was stabbed right into the heart by Ling Mo’s Tang sword.

“I….”

Lin Tianxiang had his mouth open in shock as he looked at the scene in disbelief.

Instant kill. Moreover he had used such a random attack….

The monster that he couldn’t even beat with a gun was actually killed by Ling Mo with a single sword strike.

“The body of this zombie seems to have undergone a mutation. The right arm is inflated and inside is pure muscle.” Ling Mo bent down and observed the giant claw zombie.

Ye Lian lowered her head and looked down in confusion, “But why is it only in the right hand?”

This question caused Ling Mo to go into deep thought. Shana suddenly said, “It’s because he is a male, and he is also a young man. So obviously….he would have a strong right hand!”

“Ooohh!” Li Ya Ling immediately nodded, “Like Ling Mo right?”

“Hey, what the fuck, that was totally unnecessary!”

to be continued…

Chapter 102

Chapter 102 – Tentacle Shooting Machine

Currently Ling Mo was leading Ye Lian and Shana to cross through a green area. He had no idea what happened in the school hospital after he left. They were taking the path to go to Peace Theater. Looking further ahead, they see a wide road in the front.

A gust of wind blew by and Ling Mo’s nose started to itch. He suddenly held it in and breathed out. He relaxed..

“A…Choo!!!”

After wiping his nose, two zombies that were wandering around in the area suddenly turned both their heads towards the grove after hearing the noise. They began to run towards him without hesitating..

The two zombies were only ten meters away, his sneeze wasn’t really loud but it still got their attention.

With such a sharp sense, those wandering zombies that would look harmless were in reality a ticking time bomb with great explosiveness.

This is why zombies were so intimidating. Once they took action, they would become a killing machine that didn’t know the word stop. With this kind of momentum it’s no wonder why most people would lose their courage to fight them.

“Great, we can let you two lead the way.”

The spirit tentacles came out from Ling Mo and controlled the zombies.

By now Ling Mo’s spirit power had already grown powerful enough to easily control regular zombies. He could even control up to ten zombies if needed. Yet controlling was one thing, making use of them to their full potential was a different story. Ling Mo just wasn’t strong enough yet to make them use their full potential.

Controlling ten zombies was not the same as making ten zombies do something all at the same time. Ye Lian and Shana were a bit different. Ling Mo didn’t really need to control them that much since they had a bit of consciousness already. He basically had them on autopilot. As for those normal zombies, they had all lost their consciousness so all their actions had to be controlled by Ling Mo. No matter how talented someone is, its hard to multitask with that amount of zombies, not to mention Ling Mo was pretty much a normal person before the apocalypse.

Ling Mo understood that in order to be powerful it takes practice. A person does not just get powerful by getting super powers and not using them. This was the key point of getting more powerful.

But practicing spirit power needed to be gradual or else you might end up hurting yourself. So Ling Mo could only slowly practice and gradually enhance the intensity of each practice.

When the two zombies dashed to the side of the grove, they stopped and stood there for a second. They moved their bodies in a weird way, changed directions and slowly left.

“shishi.. tsutsu..”

The people who came out afterwards were Ling Mo and the zombie girls. In taking this path, they had to go across the green area which made their clothes and hair wet by the morning dew.

Although Ye Lian and Shana both wore coats, their hair still got wet. The wet hair positioned behind their heads gave them a more beautiful look which made Ling Mo unable to stop staring and wishing to look at it a bit more.

The weather seemed to be affected too by the apocalypse. Usually at this time X city would be a bit warmer, but right now it’s only one hour away from the morning but the sky still looked pretty dark.

Ling Mo was happy that he brought a thick coat. He predicted that most people were still probably wearing summer outfits, they must be having a very hard time.

The two zombies were leading the way followed by Ling Mo and the two girl zombies, if a normal person saw this, they would probably be scared to death.

A lot of zombies spotted them but Ling Mo didn’t kill them, instead he controlled them. After a short period of time, it had became a team of seven zombies, and the two girl zombies.

To Ling Mo’s surprise, there’s a zombie thats half way through becoming a mutated zombie. But he felt disappointed afterwards cause the gel it had was very small.

“Probably just turned…”

It’s still a gel thought Ling Mo, so he put it in his bag, and then controlled another zombie with shitty luck that decided to walk by.

Seven was Ling Mo’s limit in controlling zombies and also making them do tasks at the same time. His spirit power wasn’t that strong enough to multitask even more, so he decided he needed to improve by practicing with his spirit tentacles more.

Ling Mo used the puppet zombies to kill all the zombies they met afterwards. Although the zombies he controlled didn’t have weapons, the other zombies wouldn’t take the initiative to attack them.

It’s simple to kill zombies that just stood there and did nothing. With the amount of power that the controlled zombies had, it was easy to break the necks of the regular zombies.

While the number of zombies increased, Ling Mo’s puppet zombies had started to get injuries. The more injuries the puppet zombie had, the bigger the disadvantage it would have on the next battle.

When a regular zombie saw a puppet zombie, it wouldn’t attack it. It would just stand there and let the puppet zombie attack it. But if the puppet zombie didn’t kill it after the first attack it would fight back in a frenzy.

Ling Mo had a hard time in the beginning controlling the puppet zombies to fight but eventually he got the hang of it. During each fight he would between the puppet zombies and regular zombies, he would use his spirit tentacles to slow the other zombies down a bit or distract them.

From where Ling Mo is standing, he was like a tentacle shooting machine, the twenty tentacles shooting out from him were used to control his puppet zombies and distract the other zombies.

Whenever Ling Mo lost a zombie, he would just take control of another one. With Ye Lian and Shana providing support everything went smoothly.

On the way to their destination they left nearly fifty zombie corpses, yet Ling Mo still looked clean without any blood stains on him.

This fighting method turned out to be so godly!!

Right now the number of zombies he could control wasn’t a lot, but when Ling Mo’s spirit power reaches a certain point he might be able to control hundreds or even thousands of zombies.

He was basically a captain of zombie group right now, but who knows what will happen in the future. Maybe he might even have a zombie army!

It’s hard to say how good he will be, but from what he sees so far, he wouldn’t be weak in the future.

But in order to be that good, his spirit power needs to advance to a level in which he couldn’t imagine right now.

Ling Mo quickly calmed down from excitement. The future might look good, but he still needs to take it step by step.

Ye Lian and Shana killed the last two zombies and came to him

Shana had good knife skills, although her knife was covered with blood, her body was a different story. It had only a little bit of blood.

Ye Lian was the same whose ability tended to be focused on speed, no one would be able to see her once she used her full power to attack.

She was also getting familiar with the knife she was currently using, unless she was surrounded. If she got surrounded by zombies she would still reach out with her hand….….

“Honestly….snatching the heart is not a good habit, change it…” Ling Mo sighed and wiped her hands.

Chapter 550 – The Trio

Chapter 550 – The Trio

....

My name is Xu Shuhan.

Before the Disaster Outbreak, I was a radio host.

“Hey, is this Host Xu? Let me tell you a secret…”

“Do I have the option not to listen?”

“Don’t be so heartless, hey, don’t hang up on me! Hello?”

Heh…

“Host Xu, it’s me again. I want to tell you a secret, just between us.”

“…You do realize this is a live radio broadcast, right?”

“Well, it’s just you and me as far as listeners go!”

“…”

“Are you going to let me speak? Ha-ha, awesome! I’m actually a bit nervous… cough cough, I’ll only say it once, okay? I’ve been keeping this to myself for so long, too scared to tell anyone… Actually, actually… I’m a superhero!”

“…May I ask, have you washed the underwear you wear on the outside?”

Dial tone…

Yes, that was my job.

I was a host of a late-night talk show, broadcasting at a time when the only listeners were night owls, shift workers, or drunk idiots and lunatics.

Superheroes… Psychics…

These terms were, in my mind, exclusively associated with lunatics, especially the most nonsensical kind.

But who could have imagined, just a few months later, I’d be introducing myself in the same manner—

Hello, I am a Psychic…

This embarrassingly cliché line has now become nothing out of the ordinary.

Even when I say it, I can’t help feeling a little smug…

After all, in this world reduced to ruins, the term ‘Psychic’ signifies a greater chance of survival…

But even as a Psychic, there’s no guarantee of coming out unscathed from every battle.

Any seemingly trivial danger could be the end of you.

“Wow, is this your inner world, Shuhan? That guy was clearly expressing his love for you, how can you not hear it?… Uh, hello? Are you listening to me?”

Heh, ignore the strange voice that just popped up.

Where was I?

Ah yes, the glory and hardship of being a Psychic…

The stronger you are, the greater the dangers you face.

When you were just an ordinary survivor, you’d even avoid the regular zombies.

You might spend hours crouched in a corner, just waiting for a chance.

And that chance might be for nothing more than a pack of non-moldy cookies.

But as you grow stronger, would you still choose to do that?

Your confidence pushes you to confront danger, and just when you think you’ve overcome it, you never imagine that a greater threat is already looming behind you…

“Danger! Danger! Hey, there really is danger behind you!”

Ah, that voice again…

Wait a minute!

“I’m dizzy! Mu Chen, why didn’t you warn me!”

On the street, a woman with a look of shock on her face turns around, and right before her eyes, a ferocious zombie appears.

The zombie had leaped from the adjacent three-story building, heading straight for the female survivor.

However, just a second later, the shock in the girl’s eyes vanished.

She swiftly pulled a suppressed submachine gun from behind her and, amid a very faint sound, a stream of bullets flew out.

In fact, her gun was aimed at the zombie’s lower body, and as she fired, the barrel drifted upwards with the recoil.

When the bullets hit, they struck the descending zombie in the chest and abdomen, even tearing through its neck.

At the same time, the girl moved quickly backward.

Her movement was odd, as if her feet never moved, yet she completed several shockingly fast retreat steps.

While retreating, her calm gaze stayed locked on the assailant, the gun seemingly drifting off target, yet every shot hit the zombie.

The ferocious zombie continued to lunge at her after landing, and as it came within less than three meters, the girl stopped shooting.

“Hey!” A reminder came from the side.

“It’s enough,” the girl said.

Two meters… one meter…

“Thud!”

The zombie, riddled with bullet holes, finally collapsed to the ground, weakened.

“Wow… turned into a sieve… but what a waste!”

“I hate that he interrupted me.”

“That’s pure hatred, isn’t it?”

The girl calmly watched the body fall, flipped her hair aside, took off her earphones, and pulled out a small recorder from her pocket.

“Mu Chen, next time I’m recording, please don’t interrupt me,” Xu Shuhan said with a frown.

“I did give you a heads-up just now!” Mu Chen said with an awkward expression.

“Even if you hadn’t, I would have reacted,” Xu Shuhan said.

Mu Chen fell silent, but he didn’t retort.

Retort?

He didn’t want to remember what happened to the last person who doubted Xu Shuhan.

But the way this woman spoke, completely monotone, made even the most deserving remarks come out sounding infuriating.

“But… but I’m really bored!”

After two seconds of silence, Mu Chen suddenly exclaimed, “Don’t just focus on your recording, can’t you also talk to me? It’s a long night; are we going to keep traveling in silence? I’ll go crazy in this silence!”

“You can also choose to perish,” Xu Shuhan said, putting her earphones back in and glancing at Mu Chen’s side, “Besides, isn’t Xia Zhi with us?”

Following her gaze, Mu Chen turned toward his companion.

In the dim light, there was the spear-like straight figure and the expressionless face.

Seeing Mu Chen looking, Xia Zhi slowly turned his head and made eye contact…

“If I talk to him, it would be no different than talking to a tree hole!” Mu Chen complained frantically.

“Isn’t that nice?” Xu Shuhan said expressionlessly.

“Come on, that’s crap! I don’t need to vent; I need someone to chat with! How about we talk about the guy who almost wrecked Base Zero? Aren’t you interested in the guy we’re about to find?” Mu Chen even pleaded.

“Heh heh…”

“Hey!”

“Alright, fine, you talk,” Xu Shuhan sighed helplessly.

Mu Chen stroked his chin, walking and talking, “I’m kinda hoping it’s a girl…”

“That would be an enemy, right…” Xu Shuhan reminded mercilessly.

“We don’t have to draw such a clear line between friend and foe!” Mu Chen waved his hand dismissively, “Besides, things aren’t clear yet! A normal girl wouldn’t be fighting and killing all day, right?”

“…” Xu Shuhan silently raised the barrel of the gun she had lowered.

“Uh… I misspoke, let’s talk this out…” Mu Chen said awkwardly, “What I mean is, if the person doesn’t have any ill intentions, how should we deal with such a powerful mental ability user? I’m really curious about this person’s capabilities…”

“Curious, huh? Then…” Xu Shuhan quickly made a suggestion, “Capture and study.”

“…”

“What? I’ve considered it seriously,” Xu Shuhan said earnestly.

“I know…” Mu Chen said weakly.

“I was thinking of adding a condition. If it were a male…” Xu Shuhan continued.

“Why does it being a male make it okay to capture them! You can’t treat males like that either!” Mu Chen exclaimed.

Xu Shuhan looked at him disappointedly, shook her head, and then turned her gaze to Xia Zhi: “We’ve come so far from City F, have we found their whereabouts yet? Since this person is related to Team F, we should be able to find some clues with Team F anyway, right?”

Xia Zhi glanced at her and then indifferently turned his head back.

“I see…” Xu Shuhan mused thoughtfully, “Probably by tomorrow, or the day after at the latest, we’ll know whether that person is male or female.”

“By the way, how do you guys even communicate? And… aren’t you missing the point? We’re on a mission for the secrecy of Niepan, not matchmaking!”

Mu Chen ranted again.

Right now, he was filled with anticipation for the person he had yet to meet…

No matter if they’re male or female, friend or foe, hurry up and show yourself!

Mu Chen was internally bleeding; he could hardly stand his two “divine” teammates…

Meanwhile, Xu Shuhan had nonchalantly turned on her recorder again and continued her monologue.

“City F is now far behind us; we’ll soon find our target. However, the presence of the captain makes the search process somewhat unbearable…”

“The captain is listening, you know…”

“That sound is actually just ghost current, folks, don’t mind it…”

Chapter 879: A Beauty Trap?

Chapter 879: A Beauty Trap?

Central Region Camp… F Team, two camps joining forces, undoubtedly gave the newly established Miracle Base a great deal of confidence. And under such circumstances, Ling Mo’s promise seemed much more realistic. However, as soon as dawn broke, Miracle Base received a communication from Falcon.

Ling Mo originally did not intend to get involved in this mess, but unexpectedly, the other party specifically named him.

And the first communication Ling Mo received was from Su Qianrou…

This capable woman’s voice was rather gentle, but her tone was noticeably less composed: “You really gave me a surprise…”

“Wasn’t it a scare?” Ling Mo replied.

“Well…” Su Qianrou chuckled softly and suddenly sighed, “You’re always so hard to figure out…”

“It’s because I disrupted your plans, right?” Ling Mo said.

Su Qianrou probably didn’t expect Ling Mo to be so direct, and for a moment, she was stunned. By the time she recovered, Ling Mo had already continued, “From our first conversation, I already sensed it. You seemed you wanted to cooperate with me on the surface, but in reality, you just wanted to use me a bit once I showed enough strength.”

“No need to make ‘use’ sound so harsh…” Su Qianrou whispered.

“Sorry, the truth is often blunt. What you were doing was essentially watching without risk; if I failed early on, it wouldn’t disrupt your plans much. But if I could cause some trouble for Chief of Staff Wang, then I would be a somewhat useful tool for you. Unfortunately, whether it’s you or Chief of Staff Wang, I have no intention of being led by either of you. Now that I’ve taken the Second Camp… or should I say, Miracle Base, you’ve lost an external base of operations for your gambit. Not good news for you, I suppose…” Ling Mo said unceremoniously.

Su Qianrou was silent for a while before she spoke again, “Hearing ‘sorry’ from your mouth is quite aggressive… Maybe you’re not wrong, but my true intentions are actually more benevolent… Besides, haven’t I helped the Second Camp quite a bit? Although it was to foster my own forces, indirectly, I did give the Second Camp a chance to catch its breath… Moreover, I’m different from them. I genuinely hope to build a better camp, to unite more people to survive together. But no matter how good the intentions are, in reality, it requires some not-so-aboveboard means to achieve them… You understand that, right? To ensure survival for yourself and your loved ones, you’ve probably done quite a lot too…”

“I just want to make things clear. If you can work with me openly and honestly, I welcome it. But if you’re still thinking of using me… then I’m sorry, I’m a bit hypersensitive to schemes and manipulation right now.” Ling Mo said after pondering for a moment.

“I understand…” Su Qianrou was silent for a longer time this time before speaking, “Then let me provide you with some intelligence. Both the headquarters and branches of Niepan have sent many teams into X City, and they’ve already had several skirmishes with our reconnaissance teams, so Falcon is dealing with both internal issues and external threats… But precisely because of this, the core members are even more eager to consolidate power. Essentially, they need one voice, a voice to command all of Falcon and unite all forces into one… However, this strategy is not really beneficial for the survivors. Living without autonomy, merely as tools for survival… such a life is terrifying…”

“So soon…” Ling Mo was momentarily stunned, not expecting the sunglasses man to act so decisively… It seems he’s truly been fueled by anger… If he knew that his indiscriminate retaliatory actions ended up greatly aiding Ling Mo, who knows if it would make him furious enough to faint…

Of course, on the surface, Ling Mo remained quite calm and nodded, “Understood.”

“I’m unable to provide more specific intelligence right now, as everything is still unclear. The upheaval at the Second Camp has caused quite a stir, and now the entire Falcon is in disarray… I’d just like to say that a gift in a few days might show my sincerity… As for what you decide… perhaps you should recall the impression I initially made on you…”

With that, she sighed lightly and cut off the communication.

Ling Mo, puzzled for a moment, suddenly showed a slightly embarrassed expression, “Is she hinting at that?”

There had once been quite an intense moment between him and Su Qianrou at the Second Camp…

Thinking back to Su Qianrou’s somewhat wistful tone, Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down his spine.

He hadn’t expected her to use the beauty trap!

However, upon further reflection, the memory wasn’t entirely unpleasant…

A few minutes later, a second call came in.

This time, the caller was also a woman.

“Regimental Commander, you’re quite popular with the ladies,” the Miracle Base member responsible for handling communications said with a hint of jealousy, especially emphasizing the term “Regimental Commander.” řＡƝȏΒΕ𝐬

“Hey, it’s not my fault they call it F Team…” Ling Mo shot him a glance before picking up the communicator.

“Mr. Ling?” As soon as he picked up the communicator, the other party spoke keenly. However, compared to Su Qianrou, this woman’s tone was noticeably more formal, sounding almost like an electronic announcement. Ling Mo couldn’t help but think of Yu Xian, secretly criticizing how the women around Chief of Staff Wang seemed like tools… perhaps they had all been molded that way by him…

“Hello, I’m representing Wang Xiao, Chief of Staff Wang…”

“Don’t know him,” Ling Mo interrupted directly.

“You spoke last night,” the woman said patiently.

“Can’t he call himself?” Ling Mo asked before decisively hanging up the communicator, “What’s his problem?”

…

The woman spoke into the communicator once more, then looked up and said, “He hung up.”

“Let’s just leave it, then. I wanted to give the Second Camp another chance…” Wang Xiao, having thrown off the blanket, was meticulously buttoning his shirt in front of a dressing mirror.

The woman hesitated and asked, “So you don’t intend to eliminate them?”

Wang Xiao looked up and gazed at the reflection of the woman in the mirror. He spoke gently, “Of course not, but they might get to live a little longer and die looking a bit better. But there’s no need for that now, let’s stick to the original plan.”

“Yes,” the woman nodded.

“What about the movements on Su Qianrou’s side?” Wang Xiao suddenly asked.

Without hesitation, the woman replied, “I fear she might seek cooperation with the Second Camp.”

“Tying oneself to a grasshopper means everyone will eventually die,” Wang Xiao muttered to himself, adjusting his collar.

…

Although the Miracle Base had undergone a series of reforms, from the outside, things didn’t look much different from usual…

The arrival of Lucy and other members of the F Team did liven up the base somewhat, but what really caused a stir was Ling Mo’s three girlfriends.

Even Yu Shiran attracted a large crowd of humans when she entered, which scared this zombie loli into quickly dashing out of the human base to find Xiao Bai. At the entrance, a row of escapees, whom she and Xiao Bai had dealt with, left onlookers wide-eyed and speechless.

This loli’s combat power… truly remarkable!

As for Ye Lian and the others, their situation was slightly better because, after discovering that eyes were on them everywhere, the three girls hid in Ling Mo’s room.

Xu Shuhan, also a zombie, insisted on being alone. However, upon her return, Ling Mo sensed a slight change in her…

Unfortunately, he didn’t have time to delve into it before a new issue cropped up.

“Boss!”

A female voice suddenly called from behind, and then a soft, fluffy body threw itself onto Ling Mo’s back.

But when Ling Mo turned around, the girl had already quickly let go of him, cautiously stepping back a few paces, with her face blushing as she looked down and said, “S-sorry, Boss… I was just so happy…”

“We get it, you just couldn’t help yourself… Ow!” The scrawny man beside her had barely gotten a few words out before the girl elbowed him hard in the ribs. Her neck seemed to be turning red, and she lowered her head even further. “Captain, don’t listen to Skinny Monkey’s nonsense…”

Ling Mo, meanwhile, was acutely aware of the odd looks the other two men were throwing his way. Forcing a casual smile, he replied, “Gu Shuangshuang, it’s been a while. How’s your psychic power training coming along?”

“It’s… okay…” Gu Shuangshuang mumbled, staring intently at the tips of her shoes.

The redder her ears grew, the more the overhead light began to flicker. The older, more composed-looking man immediately cleared his throat and said, “Shuangshuang, calm down-the lightbulb’s about to explode. You haven’t seen the boss in so long, and this is the first thing you want to do?”

“Ah? I-I’m sorry…” Gu Shuangshuang jumped in surprise and began apologizing profusely.

Ling Mo rubbed his temple, feeling a headache coming on. Flashing a wry smile, he shifted his gaze to the other three and said, “Skinny Monkey, Zhang Xincheng, and…” He paused, looking at the man standing at the back. Compared to the others, this one definitely stood out. It was partly due to his buzz cut and fierce, intimidating gaze, but also because of the two sharp knives hanging from his waist.

“Ye Kai.”

“Boss.” A flicker of battle intent flashed through Ye Kai’s eyes but quickly turned into surprise. “Your eyes… they’re glowing…”

“Heh.” Ling Mo merely smiled faintly, not confirming or denying anything.

“Looks like Captain Mu wasn’t exaggerating. Boss, your psychic power’s grown significantly stronger,” Ye Kai said, taking a deep breath.

“It seems like your skills must have improved a lot as well…”

No sooner had Ling Mo finished speaking than Skinny Monkey couldn’t contain his curiosity and blurted out, “Boss, this time you didn’t call us just to intercept pursuers, did you?”

“Hmm… You’re right. Actually, I have something I need you for,” Ling Mo nodded. “This matter…”

Chapter 621 – The Uncontacted World

Chapter 621 – The Uncontacted World

....

“Where is it? Come out already…”

Xu Shuhan fumbled anxiously on the ground for her weapon, her gaze fixed nervously on Ye Lian.

However, her assessment was a bit off. Though Ye Lian appeared frail, especially in comparison to the male giant corpse, her movements were remarkably agile.

The sniper rifle in her hands was versatile; Xu Shuhan had caught a glimpse of Ye Lian using the butt of the rifle to strike the male giant corpse’s wrist as she leapt to the side.

“Roar!”

By the sound of it, that hit had hurt quite a bit.

The male giant corpse was all muscle, making it difficult for bullets to penetrate, but there were still some relatively weak spots.

Like the joints. And Ye Lian’s attacks had been targeting these areas.

Having his prey stolen had already infuriated the male giant corpse, and being pressed and hit like this only fueled his rage.

He became even more ferocious, attacking wildly and trying to force his way into the house.

“We can’t let him in!” Xu Shuhan’s face changed as she shouted.

If these two zombies, adept at coordinating surprise assaults, were to reunite, there would be no chance of them getting out unscathed.

For fragile humans, “getting out unscathed” meant literally without a single injury.

Because injury could mean amputation or, essentially, suicide.

Of course, there was another option: to gamble on luck.

But for most people, such high-stakes gambling was unsustainable.

“I’ve got it!”

Xu Shuhan finally found her gun under the table, but as she got up, gun in hand, and looked towards the male giant corpse, her arms trembled uncontrollably.

The monster had almost killed her, just barely…

And that feeling of death looming over her was something she hadn’t tasted in a while.

It was an awful sensation, and her heartbeat still couldn’t calm down.

“Huff!”

She took a couple of quick breaths and struggled to lift her foot.

Just then, an arm suddenly grabbed her from the side.

“Xia Zhi?” Xu Shuhan turned in surprise to the newcomer.

“Bang!”

Inside the house, another muffled thud was heard, along with the scattering of more furniture fragments.

Ye Lian suddenly had an additional person by her side, and the help of the mixed-blood alleviated much of her pressure.

However, Ling Mo and Shana, now one person down, were clearly having a much harder time.

The two giant corpses sensed the shift in the situation and, in their efforts to reunite, became even more ferocious in their attacks.

“Now?” Xu Shuhan was somewhat taken aback.

Xia Zhi glanced at her questioningly and nodded emphatically.

“But…” Xu Shuhan opened her mouth but was unable to voice her thoughts.

Indeed, this was an opportunity, a rare and good one at that.

Ordinary zombies were too easy for Ling Mo and his group to handle, and they never got close to large groups of zombies.

Yet, these two ferocious beasts could cause them a great deal of trouble.

However, at this thought, Xu Shuhan suddenly realized something very important.

These monsters were something they never wanted to encounter at any time, but Ling Mo and his group could take them on in a head-on fight…

“I…”

Xu Shuhan felt a bit strange inside and suddenly hesitated.

The usually reticent Xia Zhi suddenly interrupted her, “You don’t want to die, do you?”

His words made Xu Shuhan freeze.

Just tens of seconds ago, she had just experienced the despair of impending death, and now she feared death more than ever.

“Huh… So, we stick to the plan?” Xu Shuhan took a deep breath and asked.

“Um. I’ll go inform…” Xia Zhi didn’t finish his sentence and made his way along the wall.

“Huh…” Xu Shuhan took another deep breath, turned her gaze towards Ye Lian, and then gripped the gun handle tightly…

“Damn it, damn it, damn it!”

Mu Chen cursed under his breath while swinging his knife to block a flying half of a table leg.

This female giant corpse, she was like an indefatigable machine of destruction!

Tables, walls, barricades; there was nothing she saw as an obstacle!

In fact, these things became her weapons, forcing Ling Mo and his group into an even more embarrassing and pitiful state of evasion.

Even Ling Mo started to sweat from his forehead, let alone Mu Chen.

The feeling of only being able to dodge and passively take hits made Mu Chen want to roar out loud.

“Bang!”

The female giant corpse suddenly accelerated, crashing down heavily onto a table not far from Mu Chen and Ling Mo.

The table shattered instantly, and as the fragments flew like artillery shells, she struck out with two punches like lightning, aiming directly for their heads.

“Ah!”

Mu Chen let out a strange cry and quickly rolled on the spot.

However, his evasion was so hasty that he tripped over a chair that had fallen to the ground.

But at that moment, the female zombie’s footing wavered, and her body shook.

Mu Chen seized the opportunity to retreat backward, casting a glance at Ling Mo.

Compared to his disheveled state, Ling Mo seemed much more composed.

He stood his ground, reaching forward with one hand, his fingers tightly clenched, slowly twisting his wrist.

As he moved, the ankle of the female giant corpse seemed to be bound, her frantic punches hitting nothing but air.

“He’s no charlatan!”

Mu Chen cursed inwardly, but had to admit that Ling Mo was indeed impressive.

To confront such a monstrous zombie head-on without showing a hint of fear was, in Mu Chen’s view, incredibly badass.

Even more impressive was the seamless coordination between Ling Mo and Shana. As Ling Mo restrained the female giant corpse, Shana suddenly appeared behind her.

The scythe was raised with a “swoosh” and then chopped down heavily.

“Roar!”

The female giant corpse lunged forward with great force, breaking free from Ling Mo’s restraint.

Still, the blade grazed her back, and blood immediately sprayed out.

“Roar!”

Pained, the female giant corpse immediately turned and pounced towards Shana, but Shana had already leaped back, widening the distance between them.

The chaotic sounds once again filled the air, with furniture flying everywhere.

“I’m going…” Ling Mo swayed slightly, grinding his teeth as he grunted.

The tripwire that had always worked before failed to bring down the female giant corpse.

Moreover, at the moment she broke free, Ling Mo nearly felt as if his own nerves were being pulled out.

“That didn’t work? Damn, what do we do now?!” Mu Chen yelled frantically.

“Can you shut up?” Ling Mo rolled his eyes.

The guy was like a noise machine, especially in battle, even more annoying than the crazy Yuwen Xuan.

…

“Ah… Ah…”

Meanwhile, in a conference room within Falcon Second Camp.

Yuwen Xuan, sitting at the head of the table, was contorting his face with his mouth open and nose wrinkled, trying to sneeze but ultimately failing. He sniffed and leaned back, asking, “Right, where were we?”

He addressed a man sitting across the table from him.

But the expression on that man’s face was rather unpleasant…

“It’s as awkward as a painful cramp, yet looks like constipation…” Yuwen Xuan muttered to himself.

“Sorry, our Boss… he’s a bit…” Zhang Yu sighed softly, speaking in a low voice to the side.

The man twitched at the corner of his eye and also said quietly, “It’s fine, I’m used to it.”

“Hey, can you not talk about me behind my back?” Yuwen Xuan, rubbing his red nose, said.

“Let’s focus on the important matters… Although I don’t quite understand why we’re having separate talks with the two Falcon camps…” The man turned away and continued, “We were just talking about establishing a Joint Camp…”

“Oh right, almost forgot. But why won’t you look at me?” Yuwen Xuan stared with wide eyes.

“We’ve already united most of the small survivor teams from City X, and once we’ve established good cooperation, you can offer some help. Once the union is complete, this region…”

The man ignored Yuwen Xuan, reached for the map in front of him, found the location of City X, and drew a large circle around it: “This will be our human territory.”

“But you said before…” Yuwen Xuan, fixing his messy hair, asked.

The man looked up at him, then moved his finger towards the neighboring province and continued outward, finally stopping at a certain point: “Yes, we’ve come from the Joint Camp over there.”

“That’s the part of the world you haven’t made contact with yet.”

The man went on.

Yuwen Xuan pursed his lips, focusing on that point.

However, a faint glint of interest flashed in his eyes…

“Human territory… sounds good, very good… But I want to know where the zombies’ territory is?” Yuwen Xuan asked with a slight smile.

The man was taken aback, and then his mouth twitched: “You might as well just kill me…”

Chapter 890: This Is Just a Ranch

Chapter 890: This Is Just a Ranch

The little boy… or rather the little girl screamed for a full minute before Ling Mo managed to completely cover her mouth. During this time, there was a crackling noise overhead, along with a faintly arrogant howl… this resulted in the gestation pods changing direction, and even the butcher’s roar gradually faded away.

“I’m warning you…” Ling Mo, panting, glared at the little girl and said in a low voice, “If you dare to scream again, I’ll…”

“I’m not afraid of you!” the little zombie muttered indistinctly.

“I’ll spank you!” Ling Mo declared righteously.

This tactic worked, as the little zombie stopped struggling after thinking for two seconds, and said somewhat fiercely, “I won’t scream, but my sister won’t let you off!”

“What sister?” Ling Mo paused and asked in return.

Aside from mates and offspring, he hadn’t seen other familial relations among zombies.

The little zombie grinned, revealing her teeth, and said, “Scared, are you? My sister is quite strong! She can bite someone like you to death in one go.”

“For a blonde-haired girl with a low evolution level, you sure have a rich vocabulary,” Ling Mo remarked in surprise.

“Heh heh…” the little zombie chuckled, then paused, “It seems like you weren’t complimenting me…”

“Now tell me, what exactly do you want?” Ling Mo took the opportunity to pick her up and asked directly, getting to the point.

The little zombie’s legs dangled in the air, pinned tightly against the wall, allowing her to only futilely twist her upper body and say, “How would I know! Also… what do you…”

“You want to ask what’s going on up there? Sorry to disappoint, but I’ve got backup too,” Ling Mo said, hiding details like the second Zombie Puppet finding some simple hidden weapons and using itself as bait to lure away the monsters. He mystically tossed out the vague information before immediately grinning menacingly, “So, quickly answer my question. Don’t know? Do you think I’ll believe you?”

“I really don’t know, I just…”

“Although her evolution level is higher than yours, wouldn’t your actions be considered intimidating a young girl?” A female voice suddenly echoed from the depths of the corridor just as the little zombie was about to be exposed.

Ling Mo’s heart stirred, and he immediately turned to look into the corridor.

A slender figure emerged from the darkness, her head slightly lowered. Her appearance was somewhat indistinct, but she seemed to be holding a strangely shaped weapon. Perhaps due to the environment, Ling Mo perceived this female zombie as particularly gloomy, and her gait was unusual, with one leg seemingly dragging along the ground as if it lacked strength.

“Is that the sister you mentioned?” Ling Mo asked cautiously.

The little zombie hesitated for a moment before nodding, then quickly shook her head, “It’s another sister.”

“A guerilla team for extra births, huh,” Ling Mo remarked in amazement.

However, at this moment, he felt he had gained some control, at least having a hostage… and it seemed he had temporarily disrupted their unknown plan. If there was any flaw in this, it was that the other Zombie Puppet couldn’t hold on much longer… The makeshift weapons gathered from the surroundings were of little use, and his unfamiliarity with the terrain was a fatal drawback. More crucially, the gestation pods had become increasingly agile in their pursuit… Their chase paths had moved from the ground to the walls and even the ceiling. 𝔯𝘼Nǒ₿ЕŠ

The Zombie Puppet was under a lot of pressure!

“Aren’t you going to let her go?” The female zombie stopped awkwardly about ten meters away, her body slightly leaned forward on one side, her arms hanging down, and her head remained low. Her voice was hoarse and muted, sounding as if it was coming through something.

Ling Mo considered his own vocal tone strange enough… For a Zombie Puppet that hasn’t reached an advanced level, making this guy talk is still quite a challenge.

It’s not that his vocal system was greatly affected, but because his facial muscles were in a bizarre twisted state… After controlling Zombie Puppets of similar levels multiple times, Ling Mo had developed some understanding of this facial distortion. To him, it was much like the aftereffects of steroid injections.

With a significant increase in physical capabilities and muscle toughness, the accompanying drawbacks were the loss of cognitive ability and the twitching and stiffening of facial muscles. Overall, the aftereffects were all concentrated in the head…

However, compared to him, this female zombie was equally strange…

“If I let go, I’ll be dead, right?” Ling Mo said.

The female zombie hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Yes.”

“Hehe…” Zombies really are quite honest.

“Then why should I let go?” Ling Mo retorted.

The female zombie was taken aback; she hadn’t expected that question.

Meanwhile, the little zombie started to shout again, “Go find sister!”

“Smack!”

A sudden slap made the little zombie immediately shut her mouth. She stared at Ling Mo in astonishment, then looked down at her own bottom…

“Want to talk?” Ling Mo asked the female zombie.

“What?” The female zombie clicked and turned her neck to glance at the little zombie, then couldn’t help but ask.

She clearly couldn’t accurately judge the current situation… On one side was what seemed to be a weak yet strange low-level kindred, while on the other was the timely suggestion from the little zombie… She ultimately chose the former.

“What is this place? What was your little sister doing just now? And who is the other sister?” Ling Mo threw out three questions in one go.

“Hmm hm!” The little zombie tried to open her mouth, but Ling Mo quickly covered it.

The female zombie, with her head lowered and hair slightly swaying in front of her face, then rasped out, “Here? This is just a ranch…”

“Look at this.”

Near an elevator door, Xia Na was crouching on the ground, closely inspecting a bloodstain.

The elevator door had a “1F” sign hanging on it, with a grotesque, twisted black hole beneath it. From the direction, this was exactly opposite to the emergency staircase that Ling Mo had taken…

Li Yalin came over for a look and said, “It’s still fresh.”

“Yes, the virus concentration is quite high, but there’s still a gap compared to us. The smell doesn’t quite match pure Zombies, and it’s different from you too.” Xia Na inhaled deeply and then looked inside the elevator.

“The blood leads here,” Li Yalin said, touching a spot on the distorted crack, “Maybe it got injured trying to squeeze through?”

“Hard to say,” Xia Na exerted some force on the edge, stared at the swinging elevator door, and continued, “If this thing were really dumb, it might have ignored these sharp edges and just forced itself in. Combined with the bloodstains on the ground… this means it probably tried more than twice before succeeding. Ah, look at this… a blood spot here as well.”

As she spoke, she stepped sideways and headed inside.

“There’s a hole above! Could it be an escape hatch?” Xia Na’s voice echoed from inside, followed by a soft thud, as if she were climbing up through the opening.

“Wow, what is this?… Senior Sister, I’m going up to take a look!”

Li Yalin stood at the doorway, about to say something when she suddenly turned her head to look towards the depths of the corridor.

“Xia Na, there’s a sound,” Li Yalin murmured.

She took a step back, pressing herself against the gap, and called out again, “Xia Na?”

A few seconds later, she stared into the dark void in front of her, listening to the approaching, increasingly distinct “click” sounds, “What should I do?”

…

Inside a two-story building on the street.

“Those monsters have gone quiet again,” Yuwen Xuan said as he peeked through the curtains.

Behind him, Mu Chen suddenly asked out of curiosity, “To be honest, why did you insist on coming along?”

“Why did you come along?” Yuwen Xuan retorted.

“I was forced to!” Mu Chen answered quickly, then added with a sigh, “Well, partially… The other half is because I was bored. He took the Miracle Squad, and I was left with nothing to do. So, as the instructor, I came along to continue my duties.”

Yuwen Xuan nodded while still looking outside. “Got it, basically you’re bored to death…”

“Don’t just talk about me! What about you?” Mu Chen asked persistently.

He glanced at Ling Mo secretly, thinking that although this guy’s eyes were closed, he was probably eavesdropping…

“Then why do you think Xu Shuhan came along?” Yuwen Xuan added.

“Ask her yourself. Wait… are you saying you have the same reason?” Mu Chen’s mouth dropped open. He knew exactly what Yuwen Xuan meant when mentioning Xu Shuhan. Even a fool could see in recent days that she didn’t come here just to help; she was here to quietly accompany Ling Mo. The only fool who hadn’t realized it was Ling Mo, sitting right there in the room.

Mu Chen hoped their idle chat might enlighten Ling Mo, even if it seemed a bit underhanded. After all, Xu Shuhan was his friend… If there’s a third, there can be a fourth! That’s what he thought…

“Hahaha… no way!” Yuwen Xuan’s gaze softened suddenly as he stared at the Zombies below. “But maybe there’s some similarity… I’m here to use the opportunity to find someone I can focus on… Uh, not that there’s much hope, but mainly I’m here to keep my sister company! Hahaha…”

But then his laughter abruptly cut off, and he swiftly closed the curtain with a swish.

“What is it?” Mu Chen immediately sensed something and jumped up to ask.

Yuwen Xuan turned back to look around the room, his gaze lingering on Ling Mo before he frowned and whispered, “Someone’s watching us.”

Chapter 854: First Confrontation

Chapter 854: First Confrontation

Under a black sky, there lies a city completely devoid of life.

Many figures wander the desolate streets as if devoid of consciousness, slowly roaming and threading through countless obstacles.

Suddenly, they all turn simultaneously in one direction, where a towering skyscraper reaches into the clouds…

“He still isn’t coming to find me, huh…”

A murmuring voice rises in the darkness, accompanied by countless blood-red threads swaying gently.

In the dark, these threads seem to contain a kind of luster, giving off a chilling aura with every movement.

At the end of each thread, there are figures connected…

These figures, with their eyes tightly shut, each have a thread tied to their Hindbrain.

With each utterance of that indifferent voice, the figures shudder slightly.

Most chilling of all, the figures are all female, and there is a significant difference between the figures on each floor.

“He’s still not coming…”

As the voice speaks again, a figure on the seventh floor suddenly trembles.

“Why won’t he come…”

This figure slowly opens her eyes, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes that are vacant and doll-like.

“Well… I’ll come to you then…”

Finally, a hint of emotion emerges in the voice, and as she finishes speaking, the lifeless mascot gently falls from mid-air.

The red threads snap, and the mascot remains motionless, swaying slightly.

The click-click of light sounds emanate from all over her body, and the broken thread eerily retracts back into her Hindbrain.

As the thread completely disappears into her Hair, a cruel glint appears in the mascot’s eyes.

“Seek…”

The mascot rasps out a few words, then turns her head mechanically: “Seek…”

Back on the streets, all the figures slowly divert their gazes.

However, some of them turn their attention to nearby buildings. If there were any humans around, they would hear sounds emanating from these buildings… ᚱάΝȪᛒĚṥ

“Crackle, crackle…”

It’s as if someone is slowly scratching at glass with their nails, or perhaps slowly chewing on something…

In the night, these buildings emit a terrifying aura that repels any onlookers…

“Hey, are you still waiting there?”

Ling Mo had just clambered out of the restroom and was now pressed against a corner of the wall, staring incredulously at the silhouette of a woman hiding around the corner of the corridor.

“You’re dressed like an office worker, yet you moonlight as a stalker quite adeptly…” Ling Mo felt somewhat helpless; the woman had been following him for three minutes, forcing him to make an emergency escape. Despite his efforts, she seemed relentless and continued to wait outside the restroom.

“Thankfully, there was a window… Although climbing out was a bit awkward, it’s better than being followed continuously. Now that I’ve shaken her off, I can focus on gathering intelligence, especially anything concerning Chief of Staff Wang…”

Rubbing his temples, Ling Mo took one more glance at the woman before preparing to walk away.

But as soon as he turned around, he froze in place.

A sudden, intense sense of danger enveloped him.

“How could this be…”

Just as Ling Mo stood there, dumbfounded, a voice spoke up: “What a coincidence.”

The speaker was none other than Secretary Yang, the woman who had been following him…

But what stood out was that she was now right in front of Ling Mo, casually arranging her hair with a calm demeanor…

“What coincidence!” was the only thought echoing in Ling Mo’s mind.

However, his reaction, observed by Secretary Yang, left her shocked and even confused.

“How can he remain so calm? Not just his facial expression, but even his gaze hasn’t changed a bit! Could I have been wrong? Did he not notice me just now? But if he didn’t notice me, why would he sneak away?”

Secretary Yang watched the “Captain” with a complex expression, trying to decipher something from his face.

But to her disappointment, there was nothing; the Captain appeared entirely proper, not even glancing aside, his complexion unchanged…

“It’s impossible… even my movements can’t elicit a reaction from him?” Secretary Yang paused, her hand frozen in the act of tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “That look in his eyes, it’s just like he’s looking at cabbage… I may not be especially beautiful, but the world is short on women right now! And yet, he shows no response at all…”

Her actions were intended only to provoke some emotional response, but… there was not even a flicker of change in his demeanor!

However, unbeknownst to the shocked Secretary Yang, Ling Mo had no reaction because he was still dazed!

As for his lack of facial expressions, that was a problem with no solution…

But Ling Mo quickly regained his composure, and as he did, he also devised a strategy.

“Secretary Yang, you are clever,” he said with a nod.

“Just call me Yang Mei,” she replied, pushing aside her confusion.

“Oh, you seem quite reasonable to talk to; a person of quality…” Ling Mo thought to himself, though his face remained expressionless; in fact, he couldn’t move it. “Well, I’ll leave you to it then, I must be going…”

That was his strategy: to remain taciturn before the other party could press him further. If she continued to push, he might have to resort to using his “emergency escape” tactic again… although, that would be a waste of time.

And the longer he delayed, the more mutated his body became, making it uncertain whether the Master Ball could completely suppress the look in his eyes… In fact, the reason his eyes appeared black was due to the Master Ball’s tentacles, which had penetrated his eyes and were continuously absorbing the virus. Should the amount of virus exceed the absorption rate of the Master Ball, his exposure was imminent.

Yang Mei was surprised by Ling Mo’s absolute calmness. She was about to nod in agreement when she suddenly changed her mind, “I have an issue here…”

“Oh…” Her words trailed off, but Ling Mo suddenly seemed to understand and began rummaging through his belongings.

This left Yang Mei stunned; she stared at Ling Mo’s actions, unable to help thinking, “I haven’t even said anything yet! What on earth are you trying to do?”

A few seconds later, she widened her eyes as she focused on what was in Ling Mo’s hands…

“Here, take this,” Ling Mo said earnestly.

Yang Mei fell silent, staring blankly at the pack of toilet paper in his hand…

At first, she wanted to ask what he was doing. But soon enough, she understood his intentions.

The restroom was just down the hall.

“But how could he think I came here to ask for toilet paper?! And he handed it over so easily-does he really believe I’d do something that embarrassing? What kind of normal girl would ask a guy for toilet paper?!” Yang Mei felt a wave of frustration rise up inside her. And yet, the man in front of her still had that stoic, expressionless face, looking as if he were completely serious…

“Are you… are you seriously gay?!”

She finally screamed her speculation internally.

Outwardly, though, she managed to restrain herself and said, “That’s not what I meant…”

“Oh… Got it. I’ll be on my way, then,” Ling Mo replied, putting the toilet paper back.

“…” Yang Mei was utterly speechless again. A wave of irritation surged within her.

This guy… he’s so infuriating!

But Ling Mo couldn’t have cared less. Whether it was this woman from Falcon or even Su Qianrou standing there, his attitude would have been the same. After all, the one being hated… was the captain.

“Even though it’s just my head that’s mutated, my olfactory system has already been enhanced. But still, all I can detect is that she’s been following me-I can’t figure out how she managed to get behind me just now. And judging by what she just said, she doesn’t seem particularly interested in this captain. In fact, they don’t seem to know each other at all… For someone to suddenly develop an interest in a person they don’t care about, there’s got to be something going on…”

As Ling Mo walked away, these thoughts churned quickly in his mind.

That uneasy feeling he’d been getting from her-it was starting to make sense step by step.

“She’s observing me…”

As the sentence formed in his mind, Ling Mo moved decisively, striding quickly out of sight.

Yang Mei stayed where she was, watching Ling Mo’s retreating figure with an exasperated expression. After a moment, she finally picked up her communicator.

“Who’s on patrol today?”

Chapter 188

Chapter 188 – Warning

To be honest, Ling Mo didn’t expect that the researcher would take them to the elevator.

They had come here before, but they weren’t able to use it at that time, surprisingly, the button lights were on now….

“There’s electricity here?…Solar Power?”

Ling Mo immediately remembered the surveillance camera, seems like that was the reason why the researcher knew they were here.

They were currently on the floor of A1 apparently based on the elevator. The other floors were from B1 to B3.

Seems like there’s a basement here and the elevator had access to it.

“Um, how many survivors are over here?”

Ling Mo knows that the person didn’t have any hearing problems so he tried to ask him. The person looked at Ling Mo before pressing B2.

He used his hands to show the number “5”.

Ling Mo frowned, there should of been a lot of people here and now there’s only five? They must of had it really bad here.

As the elevator door opened, a light lit up the hall.

Instead of a dark and wet place, they found a very well decorated and dry place.

A cold breeze blew through the hallway, seems like the ventilation here is pretty good.

As they walked a bit further in, Ling Mo realized that the basement is actually quite large.

Several corridors are intertwined to each other, you could probably get to the Number 3 building from here.

Both sides seemed to contain various laboratories, and some blood could be seen from time to time on the walls and floors.

Old Wang found some bullet holes and showed it to Ling Mo.

The researcher lead them around and then finally reached a room. When he opened it, a sound came out.

“They’re here.”

As the sound came out, a man with a gray hair appeared at the door.

He was actually quite young, probably only 30.

Just like the one who lead them all here, he was also wearing a white robe and had looked like a very sophisticated man.

“Hello, I’m Zhao Zhi, and this is my colleague Mo Da Hai, come in and have a seat.”

When they went inside, they noticed it was a very big lab, it was really bright inside and had separated into a lot of different rooms.

One of the doors of the rooms was wide open, looking inside, it seemed to be a monitoring room.

A guy who looked like a militant, sat inside playing with his dagger.

When he saw them, he just stared at them with a cold look.

Beside him was a girl who had a small body figure, brown hair, clear-cut facial features, white skin, and a bit of freckles, but she still looked extremely hot.

Moreover she was a foreign beauty….

Although the some institutes also had foreign researchers, it was quite strange to see a foreigner in such a institute.

She looked too young to be an expert, she should probably have been a student or something.

She looked at Old Wang first. When she saw the gun she smiled.

“Hello.” This foreigner’s accent was actually very good, even though her tone sounded a bit weird, probably due to her being excited.

Behind her is a 40-50 year old man.

He seemed more like a staff member than a researcher.

His expression seemed to be too dramatic. He was nearly shaking when he saw the group. There was no way to know if he was shaking due to not having seen other survivors in such a long time or because they had weapons on them.

But his reaction is a bit weird so Ling Mo and others noticed him immediately.

Zhao Zhi turned to him and calmly said, “Stop Old Luo, you’re scaring them.”

Not sure if Zhao Zhi was the leader here, when he talked, Old Luo looked away and inhaled some air to control his emotions.

“Don’t worry, he’s just happy. He hasn’t seen anyone new in such a long time.”

Zhao Zhi looked at all of them and then focused on Ling Mo, “Seems like you got hurt, I have some normal medicine here, use these first.”

Ling Mo was disappointed, just normal ones…..

Never mind, his intentions of coming here weren’t to heal.

Ling Mo is actually pretty happy that he could find some researchers that were still alive here.

He wasn’t sure if they knew anything about the zombie virus though.

Just as Ling Mo was about to walk past Mo Da, he bumped into his shoulder.

A huge pain burst out, Ling Mo looked at Mo Da Hai with anger.

From Mo Da Hai’s eyes, instead of seeing eyes that were apologetic, Ling Mo saw ones that were giving warnings!

But that look disappeared immediately and he smiled at Ling Mo and left.

“What does that mean?”

Ling Mo immediately felt a strange feeling.

Originally after seeing Zhao Zhi and the others, he had felt relieved.

In this group, Mo Da Hai had the highest probability of being a psychic, the other researchers were too weak, and the militant didn’t seem like any threat at all.

They all looked like normal people, they shouldn’t have any bad intentions.

But then why would Mo Da Hai, the most powerful guy in this group, give him such a look.

Seems like he might be afraid of a person in here, he had come and used this way to warn me when the others weren’t looking.

What did he want to express?

Although he didn’t say anything, but right now Ling Mo became aware of his surroundings.

Zhao Zhi took out a first aid box, but he only took out the antibiotic medicine and some pain relievers to give to Ling Mo.

Ling Mo obviously wouldn’t eat anything from a stranger, he thanked him and put it inside his shirt. Zhao Zhi didn’t pay attention to this though.

Zhao Zhi asked with excitement, “I’m guessing X city is now a dead city, did you guys run from there?”

Chang Hao Yu nodded, “Ya, but there should still be a lot of survivors in the city…”

Zhao Zhi smiled and said, “Is it really? But it’s much safer to stay here…But if we could go to X city….”

Ling Mo felt a lot better after sitting down, he frowned and asked, “Why would you want to go there?”

The others didn’t seem to understand this as well, it was so much safer here, why would he want to go to X city….

Ling Mo also had another question as well, since there were no zombies around here, he thought that they must have strong weapons.

But it didn’t look like they were strong….

Mo Da Hai seemed dangerous but it didn’t seem like he could fight ten zombies all by himself.

Not to mention that they only had riot guns. Using these were no different than having a death wish, if you couldn’t kill the zombies in one shot, it would be of no use.

Close combat? HAH! These people’s bodies looked even weaker than 202 who is the youngest out of everyone in the group…

After chatting for a bit Ling Mo found a point in the conversation where he could discuss about the virus.

This topic is what he cared most about.

The foreign gal interrupted them and said slowly, “There are no vaccines, we aren’t capable of that.”

When she said it, they all looked disappointed.

Although the team was prepared for this, it was still depressing to hear it.

Even Ling Mo felt upset.

Ling Mo asked, “So there isn’t any hope for healing the zombies?”

Zhao Zhi looked at Ling Mo with surprise and then realized something, “You wish to save your relatives right?”

“Once the infection of the virus spreads out, it changes the person’s cells…simply put, the virus changes the person’s body completely and each change can go even deeper.”

Ling Mo asked, “So does that mean besides the skin, the rest of body is zombie?”

“It’s kind of like that. And the longer the time goes by, the possibility of recovering or healing from the virus….” Zhao Zhi didn’t talk more and said something else, “This virus gives people stronger bodies! If we were to use it well maybe….”

He suddenly got extremely excited but noticed that he had used the wrong words and immediately shut up.

Ling Mo thought that the way researchers think was quite different from other people, most people would of regarded this person as a monster for thinking such thoughts. But these researchers could think so out of the box, if the virus was easy to control, the would wouldn’t have been like this.

But on second thought he realized that he had been in contact with the virus on multiple occasions. It was just that the amount was extremely diluted.

For example zombie orgasm juice or zombie saliva…

After coming from the girls, the liquids that contained the virus was extremely low.

And they actually gave Ling Mo more power.

From this point, Zhao Zhi was actually right, if you could learn how to harness this power, it could definitely be something good.

And so far, his cells havn’t been modified by the virus yet, it seems like that’s because the amount it contained was too low.

But this might be the only way.

Ling Mo asked: “Then what about their evolution?”

The foreign gal interrupted again: “It’s hard to say, when virus erodes the cells, it would reproduce. I guess the more virus it has, the faster it reproduces….The fast reproduction might let cells gain the possibility of mutating and produce some weird cells. Maybe the appearance would look different. But seems like the more you evolve the faster it reproduces, probably high level zombies become a huge virus source.”

Ling Mo jumped up and asked: “What!!!!!????”
