Chapter 47: Work Together

If possible, Ling Mo wanted to find a safer shelter with Ye Lian and Xia Na to live safely and leisurely for a while.

But after Ling Mo witnessed the birth of a mutated zombie with his own eyes last night, he could no longer sit still.

What was the total population in this city? Tens of millions! There would be at least millions of zombies in the city.

And the concept of millions of zombies? Twenty zombies could chase Ling Mo away as it would be difficult to fight them face to face. Survivor groups like Song Tian’s group could be killed by at most fifty zombies even if they had the geographical advantage.

Millions of zombies! Ling Mo’s scalp felt numb at the thought of it.

Luckily, these zombies were scattered all around the corners and buildings of the city without any order. But even so, danger lurked in the city.

Zombies were horrifying to normal people, let alone mutated zombies! If Ling Mo didn’t know how to control zombies, he couldn’t dare to fight mutated zombies face to face.

What happened last night was happening every day in the city. They rapidly grew into horrifying mutated zombies with overbearing strength as they continue to evolve.

On the other hand, Ye Lian and Xia Na needed to eat and the source of their food was mutated zombies.

No matter from which perspective, it wasn’t the time to hide from the disaster. As a survivor, Ling Mo had to cross the city and hunt for mutated zombies to gain more gel parts for them.

After the night, a few more zombies appeared on the square. They were attracted by the rusty smell of blood and they remained here after eating. Dried plasma filled the ground, as well as crushed bones and ripped clothes.

Ye Lian’s clothes were ripped and she didn’t have any extra clothes to change into. Luckily, there was a clothing store here and they just had to kill all the zombies.

As soon as they opened the iron gate, Ling Mo’s appearance immediately attracted the attention of these zombies as they flung themselves over. Under the sun, Ling Mo could see their faces and hands tainted with blood. He could even see the flesh stuck in their nails clearly… The rusty smell of blood rushed into Ling Mo’s nose before they even reached him. Their distorted faces were extremely terrifying.

These zombies didn’t only aim to tear Ling Mo apart; they were agile and powerful, they all stretched their arms out towards Ling Mo. One of the zombies even leaped high up into the air, throwing itself at Ling Mo.

Ling Mo had no way to avoid as he was attacked by numerous zombies at the same time.

However, he wasn’t nervous at all. He already controlled the first two of the crowd with his puppet control power when the zombies were approximately five meters away.

Without needing to worry about exposing his power, Ling Mo maximized his ability.

The two zombies he controlled immediately turned around and blocked the zombies behind them and attacked. And as for the zombie that leaped into the air, Ling Mo could dodge it easily now that he was much faster. However, he didn’t choose to dodge its attack. Instead, he stamped his foot and jumped. He waved his right arm and a silver beam slashed the zombie’s head off.

Kaa!

As the blade of the dagger cut into the zombie’s flesh, it immediately dropped to the ground heavily. However, it wasn’t a fatal wound despite blood flowing out of its head. The zombie’s merciless cruelty drove it to jump up again as soon as it fell down, appearing where Ling Mo just landed.

The zombie swung its arms and Ling Mo could hear the sound of the movement. The smell of blood and rotting flesh shrouded Ling Mo at such close proximity.

But he only tilted his head to the side slightly against the attack…

A long sword immediately pierced into the zombie as it followed the zombie’s arm. He stabbed its armpit and struck upwards.

Pfftt!

Fresh blood exploded from its body and the zombie’s arm immediately fell off. The overbearing power even forced the zombie to fall backward.

Ling Mo twisted his wrist without hesitation and stabbed the dagger into its heart as soon as the zombie tried to get back on his foot.

Xia Na appeared behind Ling Mo. Normal zombies wouldn’t attack Xia Na as they were of the same kind unless there were mutated zombies like last night.

At the same time, the two zombies Ling Mo controlled also fought well. They stopped two zombies and killed them while Ye Lian ended the life of the last one.

Ling Mo waved his hands lightly and the two zombies he controlled immediately strangled each other’s neck and twisted it roughly at the same kind…

Although working together with his ability, his fighting skills, and zombie puppets weren’t perfect, he was satisfied with the result.

After all, a skilled master wasn’t trained in a day!

Not to mention that he couldn’t control Xia Na yet and the most he could do was to work together with her.

After last night’s evolution, Ling Mo could faintly sense that numerous silky threads connected his puppets to him. And these zombies received his orders through these threads.

His threads with Ye Lian almost became substantial, but his threads with Xia Na were half transparent. Through these threads, he could observe his ability physically.

“This is a real puppet controller! Well, normal puppet controllers use hands to control their puppets but I use my consciousness to control them!”

Ling Mo felt rather light after killing these zombies in a short while, but they couldn’t stay here for long with all these bodies lying around. He immediately took Ye Lian and Xia Na into the clothing store.

Ling Mo had never walked into a high-end clothing store. Clothes that cost thousands of dollars were a complete extravagance to him. But in the apocalypse, these clothes were hung loosely on the racks and some of them were even thrown to the ground. Most of the survivors wouldn’t even look at them because blood stained most of them. No matter how luxurious these goods were, they weren’t even worth as much as a small piece of biscuit.

Ling Mo found a random shirt and changed into it before finding a clean one for Ye Lian. During the process, he closely observed Ye Lian’s body and touched her smooth skin…

As for Xia Na… She mimicked Ling Mo’s actions and picked out a bright red shirt.

As expected of a zombie, she liked red the best…

“It’s too obvious as a target!” Ling Mo grabbed it and found a black, lackey shirt before smiling at Xia Na oddly.

But after he passed the shirt to Xia Na, she looked confused and shoved the shirt back to Ling Mo and stared at him.

After staring for a while, Ling Mo suddenly understood why.

Xia Na wasn’t completely conscious and she could fall into a confused state anytime. From her expressions perhaps… She didn’t know how to change clothes!

Since he already squeezed her there… He might as well change it for her! Ling Mo didn’t feel bad at all as he took off Xia Na’s clothes and put the new shirt on her.

After she changed, Ling Mo stepped back and studied her closely before smiling satisfyingly.

She’s probably the sexiest zombie now, isn’t she?
