Chapter 665 Life is Full of Malice

However, when Li Yalin threw the zombie into the nearby clothing store and prepared to extract the gel as usual, her hand suddenly stopped above the zombies head.

In her slightly amber-colored eyes, a peculiar expression flickered.

It seems like

Li Yalin tilted her head, pondering with great effort.

She struggled to retrieve a related memory from the chaotic storage in her mind

Uh no.

After shaking her head, Li Yalins hand swiftly moved downwards.

Splurt!

In just a fraction of a second, Li Yalins Snake Kiss Dagger pierced the zombies head, and a tiny gel appeared on her blade.

As she left the clothing store, Li Yalin couldnt help but glance back at the zombie.

At that moment, a vague figure emerged in her mind.

Similar to the zombie, this figure was also dressed in sportswear.

But who is this? Li Yalin strained to recall, and the figure gradually became clearer in her mind.

Just as she discerned a high ponytail, the figure blurred once again.

Numerous fragmented memories surged forth, quickly submerging this particular recollection into the depths of her mind.

Li Yalins eyes turned vacant once more. She paused for a moment, then resolutely walked away

No one noticed this scene, not even Ling Mo, who failed to capture the momentary psychic fluctuation from Li Yalin.

Meanwhile, in the hotel, Mu Chen, having just cleared out a few zombies on the first floor, was sitting in the hallway, drenched in sweat.

There were more zombies upstairs, but he couldnt be bothered to deal with them.

Opposite him sat Xu Shuhan, who appeared unresponsive.

It was unclear whether she was too confused to think or in a self-absorbed state that others couldnt penetrate.

Mu Chen believed it to be the former, but the occasional flicker in Xu Shuhans eyes made him doubt his judgment.

Did he misinterpret her?

Mu Chen carefully extended his hand and waved it in front of Xu Shuhan.

Roar!

Xu Shuhans head immediately jerked forward, looking as if she was ready to pounce at any moment.

Mu Chens scalp tingled, and he reflexively pulled back.

After a two-minute standoff, Mu Chen noticed that as long as he remained still, Xu Shuhan stayed calm.

This behavior didnt match that of typical zombies. Could it be that by staying still, he didnt pose a threat to her?

Mu Chen racked his brain but couldnt be sure of his hypothesis.

He realized that his gap with Ling Mo had widened in another aspectconfidence.

Ordinary people faced with zombies felt not just fear but also ignorance. They didnt know the specific behavioral patterns of zombies beyond their aggression, let alone that different zombies could have different personalities.

To reach a level of mutual understanding, Niepan had begun researching the virus.

But what about Ling Mo? How did he come to know all this?

It wasnt just understanding; Ling Mo had a confidence in his own judgments.

It was this confidence that helped him make correct decisions, like helping Xu Shuhan.

At least knowing that staying still kept him safe, Mu Chen relaxed a bit.

He stared at Xu Shuhan, thinking about the progress Ling Mo and the others might be making, not noticing the occasional struggle flickering in Xu Shuhans eyes.

Ugh

Xu Shuhan opened her mouth, making a slight sound from her throat.

Her eyes grew redder, but her expression suddenly turned pained.

Suddenly, she closed her eyes tightly, her lips pressed together, and her hands clenched into fists.

Several seconds later, her fingers slowly relaxed, and her eyes gradually opened.

At this moment, the redness in her eyes had noticeably faded.

Ugh Mu

Xu Shuhans lips moved with a struggling expression, her voice sounding like it came from a throat parched and dry from lack of water.

Mu Chen was initially in a daze, but after two seconds, he snapped out of it: You spoke?!

As he asked, he involuntarily stood up.

The motion and sound must have been too loud, as Xu Shuhans eyes turned red again. She clutched her head as if in pain and shook it, saying, Dont make noise

Her eyes were still fixed on Mu Chen, but at this moment, a faint blood-red aura seemed to cover him.

It was as if she could see his human heart beating right in front of her, and the scent of a human constantly wafted into her nose.

Xu Shuhan swallowed and, with great difficulty, said again, Dont make noise

Okay okay, I wont make any noise, Mu Chen said, raising his hands to control his shock. Ill go find Ling Mo and tell him youre much better.

Wait Xu Shuhans eyes suddenly widened, and the fierce look in them made Mu Chen stop in his tracks.

Wasnt she able to speak already? Why was she still so intimidating?

Im just temporarily clear-headed. Xu Shuhan spoke while shaking her head, which didnt look like clarity but more like a semi-confused state.

However, the fact that she could speak was already an amazing progress. Mu Chen admired Ling Mo while being very curious about Xu Shuhans current condition. Only Ling Mo could truly explain what this situation meant

Even if its temporary, its still a good thing! No, I have to find Ling Mo and let him check you out, Mu Chen insisted, though he didnt dare to directly bypa.s.s Xu Shuhan.

Xu Shuhan didnt seem to intend to move either. Instead, she shook her head and said, No no rush. I have something to say

As she spoke, Xu Shuhan seemed to hear Xia Nas words echoing in her ears.

When the time comes, youll remember And now, Xu Shuhan remembered.

The fact that only Mu Chen was present at the moment made it a unique opportunity

A sentence was on the tip of Xu Shuhans tongue

The three girls with Ling Mo are not human

But under Mu Chens slightly wary gaze, Xu Shuhan ultimately couldnt say it.

They arent human, but does that mean she is?

In Xu Shuhans somewhat chaotic mind, she occasionally felt like she was still the Xu Shuhan who used to carry a recorder and wield a submachine gun.

But the thought Ye Lian and the other two girls are zombies kept interjecting.

Xu Shuhan had felt shock and fear.

But when she started viewing herself as a zombie, she felt both fear and a strange longing towards them

At this moment, seeing the expression in Mu Chens eyes, Xu Shuhan suddenly understood.

Whats wrong? Mu Chen asked.

He was genuinely worried that Xu Shuhan might suddenly lash out again. Although she could speak now, her expressions and eyes still retained zombie-like characteristics.

Help help me tell Xu Shuhan struggled to move her lips, Tell Ling Mo thank you

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt surprisingly relieved.

Even her chaotic mind seemed to clear up quite a bit.

She had mutated, which would have been an unacceptable fact for her in the past.

But thinking about Ye Lian and the others, Xu Shuhan realized that maybe things werent so bad after all.

As long as she could control herself completely, as Xia Na had said

And to control even her instincts, the best way was to prevent the virus from eroding her thoughts and memories

Mu Mu Chen. Xu Shuhan leaned against the wall and said, Tell me tell me a story.

Huh?

Mu Chen was stunned. He could understand the thank you, but a story what was going on?!

Nonetheless, he asked hesitantly, What kind of story?

Memories Xu Shuhan continued.

I see. Although confused, Mu Chen nodded, Should I start with your story? Though I dont know much about you

No Xu Shuhan shook her head, Tell tell me about Ling Mo. And and you guys.

Mu Chen was dumbfounded for a few seconds, Why do I suddenly feel a sense of malice?

After grumbling, Mu Chen coughed, frowning and looking as if he had swallowed a fly, he began speaking, A few days ago, Ling Mo took us

As Mu Chen narrated, Xu Shuhans expression gradually softened
