Chapter 687: Hidden Eyes

Just now Ling Mo began to speak with difficulty.

It wasnt an illusion, Xia Na continued.

The three female Zombies nodded in agreement, indicating they had all witnessed it.

Ling Mo looked troubled. Then

Thats right, Yu s.h.i.+ran now has two souls in one body Ah, no, her situation should be described as two relatively independent but intertwined mental ent.i.ties, coexisting in a single body Its similar to some kind of human food, like twisted dough or fried dough sticks, but without a junction, no real connection point Something like that, right?

After saying this in one breath, Xia Na looked at Ling Mo for confirmation.

As expected of a top student but that description is quite strange fee?ebove.cm

Before Ling Mo could finish, Xia Na had already turned to Yu s.h.i.+ran, pinching her chin in thought, and asked with interest, So, does this mean you can control Black Silks body as well?

Who would want to!

Yu s.h.i.+ran responded with disdain, Evolving into that bizarre form, no one would believe it if you said it was a Mutation Beast! Who even remembers what it originally looked like now?

I remember Ling Mo showed a hint of regret.

His magnificent giant dog

Ill bite you! Yu s.h.i.+ran said angrily.

Pasts are hard to recall, Ling Mo said, indicating he was just reminiscing.

My current situation is whats truly unbearable!

Yu s.h.i.+ran grabbed Ling Mos collar, pulling him closer. Just as she was about to sternly question him, she realized the angle seemed off

Kneel down! Hmph, forget it if you wont! Tell me, what should I do now? Anyway, I dont care, Sausage Humans, this is all your fault, you have to take responsibility!

Take responsibility?

This blame was truly inescapable

Alright, how do you want me to take responsibility? Ling Mo asked as he backed up to the wall, starting to brush off the dust on his clothes.

Separate our thoughts! Yu s.h.i.+ran followed him closely.

Otherwise, Ill find a way to eat you! she added solemnly.

This evolution had clearly improved Yu s.h.i.+rans intelligence. Although her mental age probably wouldnt exceed eleven or twelve, she already exhibited the stubborn traits of a little girl.

After glaring coldly at Ling Mo for a few seconds with her large eyes, Yu s.h.i.+ran snorted, tossed her hair, and turned her head away. Im going to find Xiao Bai. Dont bother warning me that foolish human wont notice me

Watching Yu s.h.i.+ran walk to the window, open it, and then flip out, Ling Mo showed a thoughtful expression.

Seeing her like this, should I save that sad news for later?

What news? Li Yalin asked curiously.

Ling Mo touched his nose, pondered for a moment, and said, Shes also one of my Zombie Puppets now

Although Ling Mos Psychic Link hadnt directly affected Yu s.h.i.+rans Psychic Light Cl.u.s.ter, since Black Silk could control her body, indirectly, Ling Mo could as well.

However, Yu s.h.i.+ran clearly hadnt realized this, otherwise, she would have gone berserk on the spot.

Thinking about it, I do feel a bit sorry for her. Its clearly her own body, yet someone else can just come and go as they please Ling Mo couldnt help but think.

Swis.h.!.+

Mu Chen, who was jogging down the corridor, suddenly stopped and turned to look at a half-open door nearby.

For a moment, he thought he saw a black shadow out of the corner of his eye.

Behind the door was a room that looked relatively tidy but was covered in dust.

A tattered screen hung crookedly from the window, swaying with every breeze.

Must have been my imagination

Mu Chen stared at the screen for a while, then walked away, puzzled.

So how can we help her?

Hearing Li Yalins question, Ling Mo turned his gaze back from the window. How would I know

Then why did you put on such a pensive look as if you were contemplating the horizon Xia Na grumbled.

Ive got a head full of questions too I remember Black Silk had a simple, honest face before it mutated. Why did it turn into a cunning, scheming, and mysterious creature after the mutation? What happened in between? Ling Mo asked, rubbing his temples.

Ask the virus Xia Na turned her head nonchalantly.

Black Silk targeted Yu s.h.i.+ran the moment she appeared. From that point on, her goal wasnt just to find a powerful symbiote, was it? She was planning to seize control all along! And why do I feel like she chose Yu s.h.i.+ran specifically to get back at Ban Yue?

Anything involving Black Silk now made Ling Mo think of conspiracy theories.

Ask her Xia Na continued to turn away.

But the good news is, looking at the situation of the Psychic Light Cl.u.s.ter, at least it wont result in Black Silk completely devouring Yu s.h.i.+ran and taking over her body entirely

Ling Mo briefly closed his eyes, trying to relax his nerves, which had been tense since earlier.

Honestly, even though he had long known Black Silk was no longer just an ordinary Mutation Beast, hearing her speak to him directly was still quite unsettling.

The world of the virus was indeed full of unimaginable possibilities

Thud!

Yu s.h.i.+ran landed softly on the ground, a silver thread retracting immediately after.

She looked around, then glanced at the thick smoke in the distance.

Xiao Bai?

Yu s.h.i.+ran called out softly as she began walking in one direction.

However, after just a few steps, the Zombie Loli suddenly stopped.

She stood still, her body unmoving, but her eyes s.h.i.+fted to the side.

In her line of sight, there was nothing but dirty walls and a desolate street.

Maintaining her position, a silver thread quietly slid down her back, then slithered along the ground like a snake, moving behind her.

The silver thread deftly avoided the broken clothing on the ground, silently slipping under an abandoned car, and then slowly extending towards a corner of the wall.

Yu s.h.i.+ran was watching that shadow out of the corner of her eye. To the naked eye, there was only a rusty trash can.

But just a moment ago, Yu s.h.i.+ran distinctly felt a gaze upon her.

The silver thread moved very slowly, climbing up the trash can and then wrapping around it

Clang!

With a light sound, the trash can suddenly tilted and then wobbled like a roly-poly toy.

Almost simultaneously, Yu s.h.i.+ran swiftly turned around, fixing her gaze on that shadowy spot.

The trash can wobbled, emitting a faint rustling noise, but behind it, there was nothingjust emptiness.

Yu s.h.i.+ran blinked in confusion. Strange

She stood there for a while longer, but when nothing happened, she pouted and turned away.

However, just as she turned, a ripple appeared in that shadowy spot.

The wall seemed to twist, and a pair of eyes suddenly emerged.

These eyes were an eerie purplish-red, staring unblinkingly at Yu s.h.i.+ran from the twisting wall.

From the perspective of these eyes, Yu s.h.i.+rans back appeared distorted and blurry, as if seen through water from underwater looking up at the sh.o.r.e

What a surprise! Hahaha I didnt expect an unexpected find like this Cant rush, cant rush Ill come back after Ive digested Dont worry, I wont miss out on you During this time, you can grow more mature and tastier

A manic grin flashed in those eyes before they silently submerged back into the walls rippling surface

After a night of rest, Xu Shuhans condition had stabilized.

She had almost returned to how she was the previous night, but her temper was much calmer.

However, when she habitually reached for her submachine gun, Mu Chen was quicker to grab it.

Ill take care of it, Mu Chen said with a fawning smile.

He was still smiling when a dark shadow fell in front of him, followed by a heavy weight on his arm.

Xia Na brushed past him without looking back. Then you can carry this bag too. Its all precious food, dont drop it.

If its so precious, why throw it at me d.a.m.n it! Im here to be an instructor, not a pack mule!

But what use was his protest Mu Chen, with a huge bag slung over his back, trudged along at the rear of the single-file line descending the stairs.

Xu Shuhan walked beside Xia Na, thinking how bizarre this group was.

Three female Zombies, two humans, and one being somewhere between human and Zombie

And among them, Mu Chen was the only one completely clueless about the true situation.

He considered Xu Shuhan the biggest threat, not realizing that any of the three female Zombies ahead of him could tear him to pieces in seconds.

Ignorance is bliss Xu Shuhan thought to herself.

Knowing she would inevitably mutate, she found herself increasingly interested in the three female Zombies.

It was better to observe them now than to be completely ignorant when her time came

But her true curiosity lay with Ling Mo

Looking at Mu Chens reaction to the Zombies, that was how a normal person should react.

But Ling Mo?

Xu Shuhan looked at Ling Mo with a complex expression. At that moment, he was conversing with Ye Lian, a genuine and relaxed smile on his face

Since youve cleared the way, can we leave Xinlan Town for Heishui City today? Mu Chen asked eagerly.

Almost Ling Mo started to reply but then hesitated.

When they had confronted the Bird Zombie earlier, something had felt off

Lets check out Cuihu City on the way, Ling Mo said instead.

Why?! Mu Chen was exasperated. He could never fathom what was going on in this guys head!

Its on the way Ling Mo replied dismissively.

Its at least dozens of kilometers out of the way!
