Chapter 56: Zombie Concentration Camp
When Ling Mo and the others just walked in, they encountered two zombies. However, Ling Mo controlled them the second they threw themselves at him. Xia Na and Ye Lian both broke the zombies’ necks swiftly, putting them down on the ground. As expected, the girls worked well with him.
As Ling Mo assumed, the first floor of the plaza was crowded with zombies but the upstairs was rather empty.
In a shopping mall with nine floors, there should be many mutated zombies here.
No one would know about mutated zombies’ habits better than Ling Mo as he had a mutated zombie with him after all.
When Ye Lian was starving, she would attack against normal zombies, but her desire to attack normal zombies would decrease after she had satisfied herself.
There was one exception; Ye Lian had a strong desire to attack when there were mutated zombies around her. These mutated zombies seemed to have some sort of resonance with each other.
Perhaps it was because they all had the gel part inside them…
Compared to normal zombies, the virus in the mutated zombies was purer and it aroused Ye Lian to attack.
The other mutated zombies were the same, such as the mutated zombies that Ling Mo encountered before. The prioritized target wasn’t him, but it was Ye Lian.
However, it was strange to Ling Mo that Ye Lian and Xia Na had no reason at all. The other zombies didn’t make any noises either. The entire mall was filled with zombies yet it was dead silence. It was no longer a shopping mall, but more suitable to call it a concentration camp.
Ling Mo clenched the dagger in his hands even tighter against the eerie silence.
There were so many mutated zombies here and mutated zombies had to be born here. But did those mutated zombies leave? Or did they all kill each other?
All sorts of assumptions flashed across Ling Mo’s mind, but the uneasiness inside him became stronger and stronger.
“It looks like I’m not calm enough… So what? Why should I be afraid of so many zombies?”
Ling Mo secretly cursed at himself and he became less anxious. Although he had supernatural powers, he wasn’t strong enough to ignore the huge crowd.
Even though there were huge benefits ahead of this dangerous place, it was inevitable to feel nervous or scared. In another way, Ling Mo felt strangely excited. He even felt that he had never concentrated so much. Every single nerve was tense in his mind. As expected, stress acted as motivation and stress could evoke his potential more…
Although he hasn’t made a move on zombies yet, Ling Mo realized that his connection with Xia Na seemed to have a small breakthrough because of this.
His tentacles only stayed on the surface of Xia Na’s spiritual sphere before, but it seemed to get deeper now. The resistance from the deep end of the sphere wasn’t as strong and obstructing as before.
“That’s an unexpected surprise.” Ling Mo was delighted. Although it wasn’t enough to control Xia Na, when he looked at Xia Na, he saw clearly that Xia Na looked at him intimately after a confused glance.
As expected, strengthening the connection between them made her more intimate to him just like Ye Lian.
Did this count as making himself look good to her? An idea suddenly flashed across Ling Mo’s mind. Once his favorability increased to a degree, he can access her pretty body.
There were much fewer zombies in the safety exit than outside. To not disturb the zombies on the first floor, Ling Mo spent quite a lot of effort on it.
The more bustling the area was before, the harder it was to survive now. Ling Mo finally experienced this closely.
A large shopping mall like this would be extremely popular and bustling before, but now it was a forbidden area that strangers wouldn’t approach. If it wasn’t for the staff entrance, Ling Mo wouldn’t dare to come inside either.
Risking his life and throwing his life away were two completely different concepts.
Right now, Ling Mo and the others were on the third floor already. The number of zombies obviously decreased and they acted more boldly. It made Ling Mo feel gloomy that Xia Na and Ye Lian didn’t sense the existence of mutated zombies. But the anxiety continued to shroud over his heart and mind, making him feel extremely fidgety.
“Are there really no mutated zombies here? Damn it. We came here for nothing.”
The higher they went up, there were fewer and fewer zombies. Ling Mo no longer had any hopes.
He never imagined venturing into this shopping mall and risking his life without even touching a hair on a mutated zombie. How unlucky!
Did they have to go back the way they came here? Ling Mo didn’t want to give up. He pondered for a while and decided to go a bit further.
The majority of counters on the third floor was for selling jewelry. Only a small minority was changed into a supermarket. But those were all for electronics and there wasn’t any value in search through them.
There weren’t many zombies there. In addition, most of them were in the middle and there were counters they could hide from. Ling Mo and the others wouldn’t attract them if they kept silent.
To avoid getting trapped by zombies, Ling Mo intentionally followed the wall and walked slowly. His target was the bathroom in front of him, which was right in the middle of the floor.
He thought that Ye Lian and Xia Na still didn’t have any reactions when they got there. They’ll just have to admit their bad luck and go back.
Luckily, it was a busy district. There were other places they could search if they couldn’t find any here.
But when they approached the bathroom, Ling Mo became more disappointed. It looked like they had to go back now…
However, Ling Mo didn’t expect Xia Na to suddenly stop and speak in a low voice when he turned around, “I… Bad feeling…”
Before she could barely finish her sentence, a dark shadow abruptly leaped out of the bathroom and dragged Xia Na back inside right before Ling Mo’s eye.
“****!”
Ling Mo’s heart skipped a beat. The dark shadow brushed past his shoulders and he didn’t even see what the thing was! Ling Mo thought that he was fast enough after the improvements, but the dark shadow was faster, even faster than Ye Lian!
But if the thing’s target wasn’t Xia Na but him…
No matter what the dark shadow was, Ling Mo only knew that he was furious! That thing kidnapped Xia Na before his eyes and he didn’t even have a chance to stop it!
When Xia Na was dragged away, Ling Mo immediately dashed after her. Under his control, Ye Lian followed him like an agile leopard.
