As the Zombie Puppet navigated through the sewer, on the surface, Ling Mo’s main body followed Xu Shuhan to a secluded suite.
This seemingly desolate and quiet place was located near the Restroom on the first floor of the building, appearing like a massive Meeting Room or a reception room… Outside was a long Corridor, but between it and the main entrance hall, there stood a sturdy security Iron Door. This meant that once trapped, they could easily be blocked in this essentially closed path.
“Good thing they didn’t succeed…” Xu Shuhan couldn’t help but feel a bit scared afterward. If they had been outsmarted, not only humans but even a Zombie like her would find it hard to escape unscathed. Not to mention the Zombies appearing from outside the building, what worried her most were the Monsters that might be released from this room… Although she hadn’t seen them face-to-face, the sounds she had heard were enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.
Compared to Ling Mo, Xu Shuhan, being a Zombie, heard it even more clearly… Those desperate screams, the faint gasping after being pounced on, and the sounds of being torn alive… Although she had heard such sounds before, it was rare for superhumans to die so miserably at the hands of Monsters… Standing by the Iron Door, Xu Shuhan already felt that she might not be a match for those Monsters…
The thought that such Monsters might also be released from this room made Xu Shuhan instinctively shrink back. Unfortunately, she saw neither Skinny Monkey nor Yuwen Xuan around; standing at the doorway facing this vast empty room, she only had Ling Mo as a living person beside her.
“You think so, right… huh, Ling Mo?” Xu Shuhan casually asked, but received no response from Ling Mo, which made her turn her head in confusion. To her surprise, this glance made her pause again.
As a human, Ling Mo’s expression was not of tension or caution, but an uncontrollable excitement… He nodded eagerly and said, “Let’s go in!”
“Go in where…” Xu Shuhan reflexively replied.
“Let’s root out those Monsters!” Ling Mo ‘clicked’ his neck twice.
At the same moment, his Zombie Puppet was also saying something similar: “If so, then just treat them like a bunch of virus gel!”
Think about it, the more Monsters there are in this world, the more opportunities for evolution they provide, right? In a sense, this is also beneficial for Ye Lian and the others! Just the Rosen Company alone had already provided Ling Mo with two Leader-Level mother hives…
“Looking at the route, Yuwen Xuan and the others might be nearby,” Xu Shuhan said, glancing deeply at Ling Mo, then looking around.
“The Monsters are nearby too,” Ling Mo said. “Let’s search quickly, try not to alert them before we find them.”
“Do you even need to say that…” Xu Shuhan muttered under her breath.
She was almost scared to death!
In contrast, it seemed more like Ling Mo himself needed to remember this warning…
Near the Distribution Room, Tang Hao was staggering forward, leaning against the wall.
After moaning for a while, he bit his teeth and got up.
Watching him leave, Xiao Bai just grunted and did not make any move.
“Say what you will about fending for myself…” Tang Hao swayed his head dizzily, murmuring, “Heh… I’m not so easy to kill… I won’t just die like this… I’ll get that thing. Then I’ll become a human with a Zombie constitution, a Zombie with human intelligence…”
“You killed them, didn’t you?” Suddenly, Ling Mo’s voice emerged in his mind.
Tang Hao’s eyes widened, then he repeatedly banged his head against the wall: “Ah ah ah! Don’t think, don’t think! What does it matter if there are two sides, isn’t everyone two-faced? Thinking ‘I wish you were dead’ inside, but smiling and talking with people… Who hasn’t done that? Wait… What am I thinking? I need to get out of here, leave…”
“Wow!”
As a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, Tang Hao immediately wiped his mouth, bewildered.
All blood… and it was black…
He stared blankly at his palm, then suddenly started crying and laughing: “What self-sufficiency… just sending me to death… But I really don’t want to die!” ȐÅ₦𝘖ВЁŠ
Tang Hao turned and leaned against the wall, then looked down at his abdomen.
Visibly, the lump of flesh was slowly writhing. And with each movement, a stream of blood would burst from his lips… The banging on the door seemed suddenly far away, even Xiao Bai’s growling sounded particularly unreal at the moment…
Seconds later, Tang Hao pressed his hand against the wall, his expression dazed as he turned his head: “No… at least, I should bring those Monsters to them. Yes… bring them… I still have a bit of strength, I can still survive…”
…
“Is everything really okay with Xiao Bai?” Xu Shuhan suddenly asked.
“It’s fine,” Ling Mo assured confidently, “as long as it doesn’t get stuck…”
“How is that supposed to be fine…”
Ling Mo just smiled, saying, “Don’t worry, remember, there’s someone else who will try hard to help.”
“You mean… that captive?” Xu Shuhan asked.
“Exactly. Although normally, he should be trying to escape… Of course, even that would help us relieve some pressure, but he definitely won’t take that option.”
“Why?”
Ling Mo thought for a moment and said, “Surviving for now, but facing a fate worse than death later… For him, the result of escaping might be even more dreadful. Besides…” he suddenly added, “Given his physical condition, he’s no longer able to muddy the waters. But by leveraging his madness, we might still find out one very important thing from him…”
Xu Shuhan listened blankly, about to say something, but then she caught a glimpse of a flickering shadow.
“Who’s there!” she immediately turned her head and asked.
A skinny figure sneakily peeked out from a corner, answering in a low voice, “It’s me…”
“Skinny Monkey?” Ling Mo also looked over.
“I was scared to death… Hearing some noise, I thought those people had come.” Skinny Monkey then emerged, scratching the back of his head.
“You should listen more carefully,” Xu Shuhan complained.
“Cough… Among them, there could also be women…”
Ling Mo, however, was staring at the corner and suddenly frowned, asking, “Where’s Yuwen Xuan?”
“He…,” Skinny Monkey grabbed his hair again, his expression showing a hint of difficulty.
“That madman!” Ling Mo immediately had a bad feeling.
