Chapter 20: Breakthrough
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
But it wasn’t the time to investigate whose fault it was, not to mention that Ling Mo actually wanted to thank those two idiots.
Ye Lian had been thirsty for the past two days and she needed food. Ling Mo was also stuck, perhaps he would be able to breakthrough and become stronger if Ye Lian evolved.
Hence, the terrifying zombie wasn’t scary in Ling Mo’s eyes at all, but rather kind!
However when his eyes shone, he also faintly felt that this zombie was a little different to those zombies he had seen before. It seemed to be stronger… But it was fine, the most important thing was to kill it as soon as possible!
Lu Xin’s desperate screech filled the supermarket and soon, Xia Na and Liu Yuhao would rush over. Even if he killed it then, wouldn’t he kill it in vain if he couldn’t take out the gel-like part of its brain in front of them?
When the mutated zombie saw Ling Mo and Ye Lian’s sudden appearance, it charged at them without hesitation.
However, Ling Mo was shocked that its target wasn’t him, but Ye Lian!
As expected, this different mutated zombies prioritized its target to its same kind, not humans.
“How dare you attack Ye Lian, you are looking for death!” Ling Mo immediately raged as he saw the mutated zombie charging at Ye Lian. He lowered his control over Ye Lian to the minimum and let her do her job. He took out his dagger and went around to the zombie’s side.
As soon as control was released, Ye Lian’s horrifying aura immediately rose sharply and violently, her black eyes were filled with unmasked killing intention! Under the impact of their spiritual connection, Ling Mo also felt the blood inside his bloody running faster and he saw nothing but the mutated zombie!
Compared to the mutated zombie’s tyrannical strength, Ye Lian seemed lacking. However, her advantage was that her body was small and agile, she could move faster within a small area and her attack speed was also faster than the mutated zombie. However, the environment here wasn’t so favorable as on one side was the wall, and on the other side was the shelves.
When the chubby mutated zombie swung its hand, its attack range almost included Ye Lian and Ling Mo together, making Ling Mo impossible to get any closer with a dagger.
Although Ye Lian wasn’t in danger, the battle wasn’t in her favor either as she was gradually losing her advantage.
Perhaps Ye Lian was impacted by Ling Mo’s connection, she didn’t fight for her life like the mutated zombie. The mutated zombie was driven by its instincts and as long as it still had breath, it would never stop attacking and it will never think of defending. Although Ling Mo made a few cuts on its body, it wasn’t affected by it at all!
It was the advantage of a body of fat as Ling Mo couldn’t damage its muscles and bones with his dagger.
He could hear Xia Na and the others rushing over here, he must speed up!
Under the urgent situation, ferocity exploded from Ling Mo’s heart. He gave up the method of attacking from aside and dashed into the mutated zombie’s face!
Now, the mutated zombie had to attack him even if it didn’t care about him at all. When the zombie’s overpowering big hand stretched out towards him, Ling Mo’s eyes became extremely calm.
In a life-threatening moment, Ling Mo replied on the willpower he developed during the past few days and forcefully retained the fear in his heart focusing all of his attention onto the mutated zombie’s ball of consciousness!
Buzzzz!
An extremely unwell feeling rushed into his heart. He felt like a mouthful of blood was stuck in his chest and he felt like he was going to faint.
Controlling two mutated zombies was indeed a whole new challenge for him. Mutated zombies were different from normal zombies as their instincts were stronger and it would clash with Ling Mo’s consciousness when he tried to control them.
Especially these two zombies that were in the middle of fighting!
Either I die or you die! Ling Mo acted ferociously and held on!
In the short zero point something few seconds, Ling Mo felt like it had been a long day. But even so, Ling Mo wanted to laugh when he felt the control over the mutated zombie!
He didn’t expect himself to succeed in this situation and the growth in his power of consciousness increased his strength.
After being excited, Ye Lian flashed behind the mutated zombie, like a strike of lightning, and took out the gel-like part from its brain as soon as it was controlled. As the giant thing fell down with a loud bang, Ling Mo took the gel-like part from Ye Lian’s hands and put it in his chest pocket excitedly.
But as soon as the battle ended, Ling Mo’s head suddenly blanked out and warm liquid rolled down from his nose.
Xia Na, Liu Yuhao and the others just arrived and watched the zombie fall down, while Ling Mo’s nose bled uncontrollably.
“Are you alright?!” Xia Na asked panickedly and Liu Yuhao stared at the scene with his eyes and mouth widened.
“I’m alright,” Nose bleed was nothing but successfully controlled two mutated zombies at the same time was a breakthrough to Ling Mo! He could clearly feel his consciousness had broken through the thin barrier despite that, his combat ability hadn’t evolved with it!
He didn’t rely on Ye Lian’s evolution, but he achieved it with his hard work and life! How could he not feel happy at this sense of achievement?
Xia Na saw that Ling Mo indeed looked fine and shifted her glance to the two people on the ground.
The person who was amputated was definitely dead, but Lu Xin was rather lucky. There was a scarily long wound torn on his back but it didn’t hurt his internal organs. When Liu Yuhao turned him around, he was still conscious.
“Argh…” Lu Xin groaned painfully but no one paid attention to him.
Whether it was the terrifying dead zombie body on the ground or the person who was twitching, either one was worth more attention than Lu Xin.
Only Liu Yuhao took out bandages and hemostatic drugs quickly and began to help Lu Xin clean his wound. As Lu Xin groaned painfully, his resentful eyes secretly locked onto Ling Mo.
Why! Why didn’t Ling Mo save him! Ling Mo could have saved him at that moment!
Lu Xin’s heart was filled with hatred but after the mutated zombie’s death, Lu Xin learned clearly that no matter how much he hated Ling Mo, he wouldn’t dare offend Ling Mo again!
“He’s going to die soon.”
Xia Na walked to her amputated companion and announced in a low voice.
Despite the fact that he was still twitching and breathing, his grey and murky eyes begged her.
Even at a time like this, no one wished to die like that. It wasn’t hard to tell from his eyes that he still wanted to live even in such a painful condition…
But as a sharp blade struck before his eyes, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed. The image of Xia Na waving her sword still remained in his widened eyes.
“Argh!”
A girl immediately covered her mouth and screamed but Ling Mo silently praised her.
