Chapter 633 The Zombies Contempt

Come out! Along with Ling Mos shout, countless splatters of blood burst from Number 1 as it dashed forward.

Shen Le, who was hiding close to Number 1, was also driven out. Though unharmed, he was severely rattled by Ling Mos commanding Come out! and got caught off-guard, taking a hit to the face.

He was simultaneously relieved that his head had dodged in time and trembling with fury.

To think someone dared to mar his face

But before the young man could retaliate or even utter harsh words, two tentacles shot towards him. The sudden gust of wind they brought frightened him into a quick dodge, immediately seeking cover.

Although Number 1 did not fall easily due to the injury, its movements were slightly hindered.

Li Ya Lin and Ye Lian seized this small opening, the two female zombies working together to corner it in front of Ling Mo, engaging in a struggle.

This time, its defensive capabilities were clearly not as monstrous as before, confirming Ling Mos suspicions even more.

The skin toughness and muscle strength of a high-level zombie are not gained through sheer fury but evolved over time as the virus gradually modifies the body.

Even if they are exhausted, such innate attributes do not simply vanish.

Destroying the corpse of a high-level zombie is no easy task, at least for a human without the right tools

Yet this monsters condition kept changing, a trait certainly not typical of zombies.

Adding to this the burst of offensive power it had just shown, the answer was almost screaming out in Ling Mos mind

Hiding wont help you, Ling Mo said as he launched dozens of tentacles once more, blasting Shen Le out of hiding again.

Shen Les expression turned unsightly as he sought cover once more, but his mood was one of extreme frustration.

Facing an opponent like Ling Mo, he felt somewhat powerless.

To cope with his indiscriminate attacks, Shen Le had intentionally hidden near Ye Lian, thinking Ling Mo would be hesitant to attack, thus rendering his a.s.saults ineffective.

Yet, against all odds, he was still flushed out.

Idiot, didnt you know mental power can turn corners? Ling Mo said with a cold laugh.

Shen Le was so annoyed, his eyes rolled back in exasperation, Are you using idiot as my name now?

But he knew this was Ling Mo intentionally provoking him to reveal himself or take action. So, anger aside, he still managed to hold back and continued to prowl around, looking for an opportunity.

Mu Chen, curious, asked Shana, Mental power can turn corners?

Common knowledge, okay Shana replied with a helpless shake of her head.

Since when is that common knowledge? Mu Chen was flabbergasted.

Shana gave him a sidelong glance, somewhat impatiently saying, Stupid humans Since your brain cant turn corners, of course, you wouldnt understand such common knowledge.

Mu Chen was stunned for a couple of seconds, then raised his hand to smack his own mouth, Thats for being a chatterbox

Being looked down upon by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was depressing enough for Mu Chen, but if he knew he was actually being despised by a zombie, he might have had a breakdown on the spot

As time ticked by, Number 1s condition rapidly deteriorated.

Ling Mo was handling the situation more and more easily, and he became more talkative: Eh, you didnt run out beyond thirty meters, did you? Is it really okay to just abandon your companion like that? Its about to get mobbed to death.

Young man, where did all that momentum go just now? Ah, I actually admired you for a moment there, being so fearless isnt easy

Come out, young man, lets fight to the death. Uh that sounded too embarra.s.sing, forget I said it.

d.a.m.n it, d.a.m.n it, d.a.m.n it!

Shen Le was driven to the brink of madness by the continuous taunting. He wanted to ignore it but didnt have the composure to do so.

In fact, he often taunted others himself, and it usually worked very well during battles.

With Number 1s bravery and his own ability to appear and disappear unpredictably, combined with some sarcastic taunts and threats, the enemy would typically crumble in terror within moments.

But now that he was on the receiving end of his own tactics, he realized just how unbearable it felt!

And as his concentration wavered, he stumbled and inadvertently revealed himself.

d.a.m.n!

Shen Le was startled and just as he was about to hide again, he was. .h.i.t head-on in the abdomen by a forceful blow.

A sharp pain surged through him and he was sent flying, landing on the ground with a loud thud.

Thats more like it, Ling Mo said as he quickly accelerated and chased after him. Two tentacles shot down from above and directly penetrated Shen Le as he struggled to get up.

Ah!

Shen Le let out a scream, but his mind was filled with shock.

Why was Ling Mo so fast? If it werent for his own decent physical condition, how could he have withstood Number 1

This was totally unfair. Where did this kind of mental ability user come from?!

However, as Ling Mo swung another tentacle that hit the crouching Shen Le, he suddenly heard a crisp sound.

Huh?

After a moment of haziness, Ling Mo realized he had only attacked a trash can

An illusion? No, but I was sure that

Ling Mo quickly turned his head and after scanning the area, he caught sight of a figure turning a corner some thirty meters away.

Shen Le, clutching his shoulder, was desperately trying to run forward.

And after making eye contact with Ling Mo, although he tried to speed up, he could no longer hide as he had before.

Planning to abandon Number 1?

Ling Mo sneered and started running after him.

Shen Les heart raced with fear, but with his physical condition and the current situation, how could he outrun Ling Mo?

The only way was to hide as soon as Ling Mo got within thirty meters, then keep running before being discovered

But Ling Mo clearly wasnt going to give him that chance. When he was about thirty meters away from Shen Le, several tentacles shot out, tripping Shen Le and sending him tumbling to the ground.

Before Shen Le could get up, he was suddenly dragged backward and in the blink of an eye, Ling Mo had stepped on his back.

Now there was no use in hiding; Shen Les face was pale and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Ling Mo crouched down, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled the red-haired young man to his feet.

You just kill me Shen Les lips quivered uncontrollably, and his voice trembled as well.

Ling Mo glanced at Shen Le, then, under Shen Les horrified gaze, he reached down to his leg and pulled out a tactical knife.

The gleaming blade flashed in front of Shen Le, and the young man couldnt take it anymore.

He opened his mouth and screamed, Dont kill me! Please, I beg you, dont kill me!

Keep it down Ling Mo said, still holding the knife, looking emotionlessly at the screaming Shen Le.

After yelling for a while, Shen Le seemed to realize something and slowly closed his mouth.

His expression was a mix of embarra.s.sment and fear.

You youre not going to kill me? Shen Le asked, a hint of hope in his voice.

I need to clear something up, Ling Mo said.

It wasnt me who wanted to kill you. Im not the one who gave the order; I was just sent to carry it out! If you kill me, more people will come after you. If you let me go, Ill tell them youre already dead. How about that? Shen Le spoke hastily.

Ling Mo stared at him for a moment, then suddenly asked, Was it just you and Number 1 who came?

Shen Les expression froze for a second, but as Ling Mos knife began to move again, he quickly shook his head and said, We came quickly it was just me and Number 1.

So Number 1 is indeed quite fast Were you so eager to kill us to take the credit? Ling Mo asked with a smile.

Shen Le didnt reply this time; that was something he dared not answer.

As Ling Mo dragged him back the way they came, he asked, Actually, thats not what I want to know.

What? Shen Le was stunned. If he didnt want to know that, then what did he want to know?

And wait, wasnt he inadvertently spilling all the information himself?

What exactly is Number 1? Ling Mo turned his head to look deeply at Shen Le.

Shen Les face changed color again, he opened his mouth and slowly shook his head, Its a zombie ah!

Ling Mo remained still, but another b.l.o.o.d.y hole appeared on Shen Les shoulder.

My patience is limited, Ling Mo said coldly.

In reality, it was time that was limited

The intense fight that had just taken place had already lasted over ten minutes. And the next ten minutes could very well be Xu Shuhans last moments of clarity.

The only reason Ling Mo spared Shen Le for the moment was to find out the true nature of Number 1.

It Shen Le was dumbfounded; he could see in Ling Mos eyes not a probing question, but certainty.

Ling Mo knew it wasnt a zombie

But how could he know that?!

Those eyes, that appearance, it looked every bit the part of a zombie!

Even the virus experts at headquarters wouldnt be able to tell without a thorough dissection of Number 1.

Moreover in reality, Number 1 had become almost indistinguishable from the zombies

But he never even considered Xu Shuhan, because in his mind, there was no way Xu Shuhan could have survived.

Maybe Ling Mos inquiry about Number 1 was just out of curiosity?

Dont beat around the bush, Ling Mo said, slightly frowning.

Although Ling Mo wasnt threatening him, the sharp pain from his wound was a clear reminder to Shen Le.

He was extremely fearful. Dealing with someone like Ling Mo was terrifying because he never knew when Ling Mo might suddenly resort to torture. It was impossible to gauge how to handle him

You you cant kill me Shen Le said, his voice trembling.

Conditions? Ling Mo squinted.

Shen Le nodded vigorously, then quickly added, That Mu guy, he wont be in trouble either. I can let him go, just say hes dead too

Wait, stop. Thats useless. Talk about Number 1 first, Ling Mo said.

Shen Le wanted to hold out a little longer, but the cold light in Ling Mos eyes made him swallow the words that had reached his lips.

If he didnt speak now, he might die immediately. He couldnt be sure whether Ling Mo cared about Mu Chens wellbeing or not, but judging from his current expression, it seemed he cared very little
