Chapter 728: They Considered Him Food?

Inside the apartment building, Xu Shuhan was leaning against the window, staring intently in the direction of the Medical University.

From her vantage point, she could only see a portion of the empty buildings and a vast amount of greenery-not a single person in sight, let alone any trace of Ling Mo and Mu Chen.

She didn’t even know if the two of them had gone in yet…

“If Ling Mo confirmed it, it should be correct. If he miscalculated, they should be back by the afternoon,” she pondered, feeling conflicted. She didn’t want Ling Mo and Mu Chen to take such a risk, but she was also filled with fear about fully mutating. Ye Lian and the others didn’t look much different from regular people; it was only during battles that their terrifying nature as Senior Zombies was revealed. But how long did it take them to reach this level of evolution?

Once she fully mutated, she would lose her sanity and wouldn’t be able to control her actions at all.

Some things don’t seem as daunting after experiencing them, but if you know about them beforehand, the psychological pressure is immense…

Xu Shuhan couldn’t help but think about the possibility of Ling Mo failing in his mission. If he couldn’t find a way to help her retain her sanity, what then?

“All I can do is pray that Ling Mo succeeds…” Xu Shuhan was a bundle of nerves.

Inside, the three female zombies were all busy with their own tasks. Although Ling Mo hadn’t taken them along, they, along with Yu s.h.i.+ran who was nearby, were his backup in case something went wrong.

Ye Lian stood in front of a full-length mirror, holding a chopstick in her hand. After staring at herself for a while, she suddenly began to move side to side.

Her speed wasn’t fast, nor were her movements particularly quick. Each time the chopstick extended to touch the mirror, it precisely hit her vulnerable points as she moved.

But as her speed increased, she began to make mistakes. After all, training against oneself is much more challenging.

“Ah…” As the chopstick hit the mark, Ye Lian stopped and looked at her reflection, with the chopstick touching her forehead. She blinked, appearing a bit embarra.s.sed.

“…Again…”

While Ye Lian struggled with the mirror, Xia Na and Li Yalin were also busy.

In a bathroom, Xia Na was also standing in front of a mirror, looking at her reflection.

At this moment, one of her eyes was a deep black, and the other was a dazzling red.

Innocence and cruelty, calmness and bloodl.u.s.t-two completely different auras combined, making her appearance exceedingly eerie.

But in the mirror, Xia Na saw two versions of herself. One was the true Leader-Level Zombie, Black Na, while the other was the spiritual body, Nana. These two personalities coexisted within her but were each distinct. At the moment, Black Na was in the foreground, while Nana was in the background, with their torsos essentially merged together.

“First, there was chaos, then mutual devouring, then separation, and now fusion again…” Xia Na muttered to herself as she stared at the reflections in the mirror. “But this fusion is still very basic. If no one else sees it, fine, but in Ling-Ge’s eyes, wouldn’t it look like I have three heads and six arms? No way…”

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a resealable bag. Inside was none other than Bighead’s King-level viral hive.

“I can’t devour this all at once. Otherwise, I might be influenced by his virus, which would disrupt the balance within me, causing a viral mutation and leading to my own transformation…” Xia Na was well aware of this theory. Wild Zombies didn’t care about these consequences; they would devour any Gel and hive they found, leading to all sorts of bizarre mutations and evolutions.

“Ugh, why am I even thinking about this? What if I evolve a pair of wings or something…” Black Na suddenly grinned wickedly in the mirror. She was a pure zombie; she could accept any form of mutation as long as it meant evolving to a higher level.

“No way!” Spiritual body Nana was furious. “You expect me to become a Birdman?! No chance!”

“What do you mean, a Birdman?! Ever heard of a fallen angel? For being the human side, you seriously lack any sense of aesthetics…” Black Na grumbled.

The spiritual body Nana rolled her eyes. “Cut it out! We share the same memories!” She glanced at the viral hive in her hand and said, “My current direction of evolution and mutation is obviously related to the spiritual body and the split personalities issue. We’ve already become independent from each other, and the possibility of complete fusion is low. But no matter how we end up mutating, it will definitely be beneficial for us.”

“Tch…” Black Na also rolled her eyes. Although they were essentially the same being, their expressions were completely different when made by each persona.

“Tch, what? I still haven’t forgotten the last time we evolved, and you controlled the left hand to pinch my right cheek!” Nana snapped.

“Haha, come at me! To think we’re supposed to be the same person, why is the other me so uptight…”

“Hey, don’t act like you’re all that great…”

Despite their bickering, the two personalities didn’t really end up fighting.

All physical sensations were experienced by both personalities simultaneously. It didn’t matter which hand pinched which cheek; it felt the same to both of them…

“Better to be cautious and take it slow. I’m warning you, don’t suddenly devour it all at once-it will cause a mutation.” Clearly, Xia Na was being jointly controlled by both personalities at this point. Since the signs of mutation appeared, the two personalities had been able to co-direct the body. The unusual appearance of her eyes was precisely because of this reason.

However, Xia Na wouldn’t allow one personality to control one side of the body; this only happened when they were inclined to fight. Normally, they would discuss things like this. During battles, Nana would revert to the spiritual body to a.s.sist the main body. As for speaking, whoever snagged the opportunity to talk first would do the talking. Nevertheless, they were two-in-one, and to others, Xia Na only seemed quirky and whimsical, without any glaring abnormalities.

But how the evolution and mutations would play out, even Xia Na herself didn’t know.

“Got it… tch…” Xia Na’s expression in the mirror changed, indicating her displeasure as she pouted.

In the bedroom, Li Yalin appeared quite calm.

She sat on a clean bedspread, her eyes wide open.

Although she had the appearance of a mixed-race person, Li Yalin’s eyes were typically black in her usual state, with a hint of amber that others couldn’t really notice.

But at this moment, while she suppressed her Zombie aura, her eyes were already red, almost as if they were about to bleed.

On closer inspection, the bright amber color flickered in that sea of blood, making her eyes s.h.i.+ne brilliantly.

Despite the cold undertone, the color itself was incredibly beautiful, making it hard for anyone to look away.

Beside her was an empty resealable bag, indicating she was absorbing a mutation creature’s mother hive.

Originally, her demeanor heavily resembled that of a Snake, even her attack methods and daily actions were snake-like. However, as she absorbed the mutation creature’s mother hive, some changes were clearly happening. The amber hue remained, indicating that her snake-like traits wouldn’t disappear, but what she would ultimately become was unknown to Ling Mo, and even more so to Li Yalin.

After settling down, Ling Mo’s first action was to s.h.i.+ft his perspective.

Among the three female Zombies, Ye Lian’s psychic fluctuation was the calmest, so Ling Mo naturally switched to her.

Unexpectedly, just as he s.h.i.+fted, he saw a Chopstick stabbing towards Ye Lian, as if it was targeting her specifically.

This sudden switch left Ling Mo unable to see clearly, making his scalp tingle with alarm.

Just as the Chopstick was about to pierce Ye Lian’s shoulder, she unexpectedly dodged to the side. But immediately, the Chopstick intercepted her path directly in front.

Ling Mo’s heart leapt to his throat, but he soon realized that it was a Mirror…

In the mirror, Ye Lian’s eyes looked like ripples continuously contracting inward, appearing extremely strange.

“So, she’s practicing with herself… scared me for a moment…” Ling Mo let out a sigh of relief.

Only Zombies could use such a training method, which was even more difficult than fighting with both hands. Although Zombies had incredibly fast physical reflexes, their Intelligence was limited. While Ye Lian had reached a dominant level, her Intelligence improvement was quite modest. Her combat instincts were remarkable, but using the “Kaleidoscope” required conscious thought. As a result, it couldn’t keep up with her body’s reflexes, making it perfect for training.

Ling Mo never expected Ye Lian to have such self-awareness. He hadn’t thought of this method at all…

Ling Mo couldn’t help but glance at Ye Lian again; he was really curious about what was in her bag.

However, since it was Ye Lian’s personal possession, Ling Mo didn’t even think about switching perspectives to peek, let alone force her to show him.

Nonetheless, Ling Mo still had a hunch that, despite Ye Lian’s significant limitations in Intelligence, she had plenty of ideas swirling in her little head…

“Since the girl doesn’t want to talk about it, she must have her reasons. Better check in with everyone first.”

Ling Mo quickly sent a signal to Yu s.h.i.+ran as well. However, when he switched perspectives, he encountered Black Silk. After enduring a minute of verbal bombardment, Ling Mo couldn’t stand it any longer and hurriedly s.h.i.+fted his view back. Just as the scene of the Dormitory appeared before him, a voice echoed in his mind.

“Hey, hey, don’t run away. As the master, how can you be so irresponsible? Let me tell you, Yu s.h.i.+ran doesn’t want to follow you; she’s just thinking about eating you. What a joke! You’re my backup food after all…” Black Silk continued to babble on through the psychic link. Only it could manage such a feat, effectively becoming a powerful spiritual body.

Ling Mo was already feeling a headache coming on; this was practically haunting him!

But when he heard that last sentence, he immediately sat up straight. “What?!”

He didn’t say this out loud; he thought it. Through the psychic link, Black Silk could accurately pick up on his thoughts.

“Haha, did I say something? Just kidding… Anyway, my time’s up, I’m leaving now…”

A few seconds later, in the midst of Ling Mo’s silent wait, Black Silk’s voice indeed reappeared. “So, you have to help me Absorb that little girl. Master, you’re a good person…”

“Hey…”

“Okay, I’m really off now.”

As Black Silk finally quieted down, Ling Mo reached out and knocked on the nearby table.

They considered him food? Backup food at that? What on earth does that even mean?
