“Thump!”

In the depths of darkness, a dull sound echoed from afar, as if a heavy object had landed.

“Black Silk, did you hear that?”

A small head peeked out from the corner of the wall, her red and white eyes rolling carefully as she cautiously looked down the dark corridor: “Could it be a corpse?”

She took a deep sniff, then suddenly her face lit up with excitement: “Those zombies… Xiao Bai must have lured them away! That scent is so strong over there!”

“Hee hee! Now we’re in luck!”

As the zombie loli spoke, she glanced at her shoulder.

It was completely soaked in blood, and beneath the torn fabric, among the stains, was a fresh pink line.

“It’s healed,” Yu Shiran touched the mark and said.

The regenerative ability of a leader level zombie was indeed terrifying; as long as the injury wasn’t to the extent of a broken bone or ruptured organs, they always healed quickly.

This was a special characteristic of the virus, and a unique talent gained by zombies as predatory beasts.

The more advanced the evolution, the faster the self-healing.

Combined with the zombies’ fearless and aggressive onslaught, one can imagine the immense pressure on the survivors.

However, regeneration to the extent of limb regrowth seemed to be beyond the reach of zombies for now.

At least, the zombie loli herself couldn’t achieve this, so she resolutely treated it as the final conclusion.

But the perpetrator of this wound was still of great concern to Yu Shiran—

That annoying type of zombie that emitted brainwaves, just like the Sausage Humans!

Despite joining forces with Black Silk, they were still interfered with by that zombie’s strange methods. Not only did they fail to eliminate it, but Yu Shiran herself got injured.

Moreover, at that moment, Xiao Bai had drawn the attention of the juvenile zombie and the others, so Yu Shiran immediately displayed her talent for betraying her allies, grabbing Black Silk and making a run for it.

But that pesky zombie kept pursuing them as if there was something on them of interest…

What could possibly be of interest?!

It was Black Silk who reminded her that it might be because of some kind of energy connection between Black Silk and the Sausage Humans!

“Damn Sausage Humans, always making their presence known wherever they go!” Yu Shiran cursed in her mind, using the new term she had reluctantly recalled.

The connection wasn’t something that could just be severed, and it’s not like Black Silk always followed her commands…

But she was loath to give up just like that.

However, when she decided to go back, the zombie had vanished without a trace.

Why didn’t it follow? Yu Shiran couldn’t figure it out, and she didn’t bother trying to.

After all, it was a good thing! Maybe it turned to chase Xiao Bai?

Xiao Bai was tough, able to take a beating without much concern…

“The important thing is… we got the stuff!”

As Yu Shiran spoke, she reached into the deep valley of her clothing.

Her slender white fingers emerged holding a piece translucent and glowing like a jellyfish, very elastic to the touch, quivering slightly between her fingertips and emitting a faint glow.

The zombie loli’s eyes gleamed as she stared at the small object, her lips moving involuntarily.

“It was worth the risk coming back, and Xiao Bai did not disappoint, actually holding them off.”

Holding the “jellyfish”, the zombie loli turned it over in her hands, eagerly asking, “Black Silk, how do you use this? Do we eat it? It looks like…”

Before she could finish, she eagerly extended her tongue towards it.

But just as her tongue was about to touch the “jellyfish”, her little mouth snapped shut without warning.

“Ah ah ah!”

The zombie loli’s eyes widened in shock as she covered her mouth, hopping around in place, and mumbling unclearly, “Black Silk you…! Oww, my tongue! This won’t regenerate if it’s cut off!”

“Oh? What? You’re saying… the Sausage Humans are in that direction?”

Yu Shiran slowly lowered her hand, a crafty smirk appearing on her delicate face, still twisted in pain, “This is perfect, isn’t it? If they both suffer damage, won’t we have the chance to slip away? Hahaha! I am truly a genius among zombies! Shana is no match for me! Hmph, they always looked down on me for being only twelve when I was alive, and at most six as a zombie. Do they really understand?”

“Black Silk, let’s go! Maybe… hehe, I might even snag a sausage or two!”

The zombie loli reluctantly stuffed the “jellyfish” back into her neckline, glanced outside to make sure no one was around, and quickly darted out.

In the silent darkness, the zombie loli whispered, “Black Silk, let’s also rescue Xiao Bai on the way.”

“What?! I-I-I! It’s not like I like it or anything! I’m a zombie! How could a zombie like anything? Don’t you know that’s common sense? I just… I need… I mean… having it around is like having a car, and if necessary, it could serve as emergency rations! It would be a waste if it died… Yeah, that’s it.”

“No… Don’t you dare laugh! It’s just a dog, what’s so funny about that? You talk so much when no one’s around, but the Sausage Humans have no idea! Bet you wouldn’t believe I’d tell them!”

…

“It worked.” Ling Mo, holding Ye Lian, turned another corner and whispered with some joy.

“Wha… what?” Ye Lian asked.

Shana also moved to one side, but her scythe was not idle; she skewered a zombie that lunged from the side, sending it flying into the air: “Ling Mo means that they followed us, Yu Shiran and Black Silk.”

“Oh…” Ye Lian nodded, not quite understanding.

“Running in this direction, it’s because the farther we get from the parking lot, the stronger the induction becomes. But if we can sense them, can’t they sense us too?” Shana asked with some confusion.

Ling Mo chuckled, “It’s not just for that. And hey, if they couldn’t sense us, why would they follow? Zombies have their own personalities too, you know. This Yu Shiran, her personality is just too easy to read.”

“Twelve years old, huh…”

“Post-mutation intelligence must take a hit, right?”

“Half?”

“Ten percent.”

“Oh…”

This time, both Ye Lian and Shana suddenly nodded in realization, their expressions turning expectant as they peered into the darkness.

Although ambushing was quite satisfying, occasionally drawing the enemy out like this and waiting for them to walk into the trap seemed interesting too!

After several more rounds leading the zombies, their numbers started to dwindle during the chase.

The juvenile zombie must have sensed that something was wrong and kept shrieking, only to be silenced by Shana with a rag stuffed into its mouth.

Ling Mo initially felt somewhat inhumane, but when he reached out to pull the rag away, he caught sight of the juvenile zombie opening its mouth wide.

The straw was trembling inside, and the two rows of fine, sharp teeth were snapping at his wrist.

The eyes, flickering with cruelty and bloodlust, never stopped fixating on Ling Mo’s carotid artery.

“Humanity be damned with a monster like this!” Ling Mo stuffed the rag back in place.

By this time, Yu Shiran and Black Silk had also arrived nearby.

The zombie loli hid in the back, listening to the movements of the zombies ahead, and covered her mouth to giggle: “If they’re fighting intensely, we could add fuel to the fire… Alright, I know you won’t make a move, so how about I do it? We are symbiotes after all…”

“We agreed, right? Hehe, let’s get a bit closer.”

Yu Shiran squatted down and quickly darted forward along the base of a wall, taking cover inside a small shop.

Crouching under the table, Yu Shiran watched the scene in front of her with excitement, her gaze swiftly scanning through the zombie crowd.

“I see it!”

That Sausage Human hiding behind the female zombie, clearly up to some trick!

When those zombies charged in, their actions became very strange, and then the two female zombies took the opportunity to pounce and quickly dealt with one of them.

“Ah, these foolish kin!” Yu Shiran watched anxiously; at this rate, wouldn’t Ling Mo win?

She continued to search with her eyes and finally spotted a white bundle not too far away.

“Xiao Bai!”
