Chapter 45: The Most Unfortunate Zombie In History
The slaughter amongst the zombies soon ended. The final winner wasn’t the middle-aged female zombie, but a slim, weak-looking male zombie.
It looked like advantages in one’s physical body were useless after turning into a zombie. The female zombie was the brutal type but after being attacked by a few zombies at the same time, she soon lost her stamina. Although she never meant to back off, she didn’t have enough strength to attack. The male zombie, on the other hand, was unremarkable as he didn’t couldn’t even touch the female zombie. However, he lived to the end due to his agile movements.
More than ten dead zombies laid by his feet and he wasn’t modest with it as he began to gnaw on them.
Although the process looked disgusting, Ling Mo forced himself to concentrate on the zombie’s movements as he wanted to know how they evolved.
There wasn’t anything special; he drank and ate the other zombies’ flesh just like other zombies. But when he bit off the head of that female zombie, he suddenly rolled on the ground crazily.
“What the hell is happening?”
The lighting was dim at night and he was from the scene, but his spiritual power was strong enough to hear the noises from a rather far distance. His vision was also better, but it was unrealistic for him to see all the male zombie’s movements clearly from such distance.
Luckily, the zombie returned to normal soon but after he stood back up, he had no interest in other dead bodies anymore.
Is it full? Ling Mo studied the zombie curiously. He wanted Xia Na and Ye Lian to catch the zombie and study it, but the zombie suddenly dashed towards a certain direction.
It was illogical. Unless prey appeared, which zombie would leisurely have a jog under the moonlight?
Ling Mo immediately followed the zombie. Even though it was hard to see, he could faintly see some dark shadows…
“So they attracted other zombies over.” Ling Mo immediately laughed coldly.
The night belonged to the zombies. In a big ghost city like this, perhaps this happened in numerous other places at the same time. The evolution of zombies was definitely not as simple as what he could see.
The slaughter exploded in the corner of the square. Although he couldn’t see it from this distance, he luckily had two mutated zombies next to him.
Considering that Xia Na was still unstable, Ling Mo controlled Ye Lian, making her leave the room and locking the door before sprinting to the scene.
Under the moonlight, Ye Lian’s agile body was like an eerie black shadow that flitted across the entire square rapidly. Then, she stopped under the roof of a shop and watched the battle silently.
It was the furthest Ling Mo could control her to go. However, Ye Lian’s vision wasn’t affected by lights and he could clearly see what was happening there.
The male zombie from before was on a rampage. All the zombies that appeared in front of him were put down and he didn’t eat the body of the zombies, but targeted their brain. Or more accurately, the hindbrain…
Through Ye Lian’s vision, Ling Mo frowned as he watched it happen. There was a nidus in the hindbrain of normal zombies as well, which meant that gel parts existed. It was only because Ye Lian wasn’t interested in normal zombies’ gel parts as a mutated zombie, but she needed the gel parts from other mutated zombies.
Ling Mo saw clearly that the male zombie didn’t only take out the gel part in their brains, but shoved the entire brain in his mouth.
Ling Mo immediately recalled the scene when he first found Ye Lian and all the dead bodies on the bus. He didn’t observe the environment clearly then but when he thought about it now, Ye Lian indeed dug out all the brains from the zombie instead of only taking the gel part out. A strange feeling aroused but Ling Mo soon shrugged it off.
So what if she ate human brains? He definitely wanted her! Not to mention that zombies weren’t exactly humans anymore…
After digging out the brains of these zombies, the male zombies seemed to be unsatisfied as he went back and ate the brains of the other zombies as well.
He had eaten too much even for a zombie. Perhaps his stomach would explode if he continued to eat.
But after he finished eating it, he lifted his head up and roared in a low voice. His voice was soft but Ling Mo was startled.
Would the zombie mutate? Although he was far from there, Ling Mo could see that the red glow in his eyes became brighter. When he roared, his skeleton seemed to be cracking. Although it was only a feeling, Ling Mo thought that he saw it! The zombie’s body relaxed and the bloodthirst in his eyes became even more blazing.
A mutated zombie! Although the male zombie was weaker than the other mutated zombies he saw, a mutated zombie was born right in front of his eyes!
Ling Mo immediately became excited. He knew that the smell of blood would attract other zombies over soon. He controlled Ye Lian to dash behind the zombie while it was still roaring and mutating!
They were both mutated zombies but the “newborn” was nothing compared to Ye Lian. He only noticed Ye Lian’s existence when she was about ten meters away through the special connection that the same kind had…
However, ten meters was nothing to Ye Lian. When the mutated zombie just turned around, Ye Lian already hit his neck roughly with her palm.
A zombie’s weakness was the same as a normal person’s weakness, except that nonfatal wounds wouldn’t be able to stop them from attacking. Ye Lian’s attack made the zombie roll his eyes as he immediately fainted.
It was probably the first zombie to get knocked out. Normal people fought zombies like it was a desperate struggle. No one would only knock them out after putting in so much effort. The battle between two zombies was a life or death battle. Even if the zombie was knocked out, the only thing waiting ahead would be death.
When the zombie was reborn into a mutated zombie, it became the first unlucky zombie who was knocked out by his same kind and he was now getting dragged on the floor.
Ye Lian’s slim body dragged a fully grown adult male zombie at ease. There were no zombies in the shop beneath their room and Ling Mo headed downstairs to open and lock the door for Ye Lian without any concerns
“Researching a zombie…”
Ling Mo rubbed his hands excitedly as he sat down in front of the zombie as soon as they returned to the room.
