Chapter 713: Played to Death

Ten minutes

Half an hour

Bighead kept running chaotically, and amidst his rage, he grew increasingly miserable

He thought he had considered everything thoroughly, yet there were still things he hadnt antic.i.p.ated at all.

For example, the close cooperation among these Zombies!

Even though they were several Zombies, they moved as if they were a single ent.i.ty!

Just when he s.h.i.+fted his attention to one of them, another ones attack was already upon him.

There was no time to catch his breath, not even a chance to counterattack!

The most annoying part was that he couldnt find an opportunity to use his Hallucination ability!

This group of Zombies, which were clearly Low-Level compared to him, were playing him like a fool together!

His physical attributes were far superior to those of the Zombies, so they avoided close combat.

Some would cause disturbances nearby, while another attacked him from a distance using human weapons.

What kind of Zombie fighting style was this? What happened to the principles of being a Zombie?

He had the Hallucination ability, so the group of Zombies always stayed just outside its range!

Earlier, when he tested Ling Mo and the others, Ling Mo had calculated the area affected by hallucinations.

For ordinary people, it might have been difficult to gauge this distance, but for the Zombies who could rely on Ling Mos psychic link, it was a piece of cake

In terms of frustration during the fight, Bighead was far more miserable than the Bird Zombie.

At least the Bird Zombie could torment the Zombie Puppets controlled by Ling Mo, but Bighead couldnt even get close to Ling Mo and his group

The more proficient a Zombie or mutation creature is in a particular aspect, the more obvious their weaknesses. Zombies like the Bird Zombie are actually harder to deal with, Ling Mo a.n.a.lyzed while recovering his psychic power on the sidelines.

This battle was a great opportunity for the female Zombies who had just experienced a power boost.

For Ling Mo, it was also quite rewarding.

Setting aside the Wig, the Bird Zombie and Bighead were forcibly elevated in strength. Their King level capabilities were likely inferior to that of Ye Lian and the others after their breakthrough.

But even so, they provided significant reference value.

Ling Mo had already discovered that the primary enhancement of King level Zombies in physical attributes was their strong defensive capability, while speed and strength were secondary. Another important characteristic was the significant manifestation of their mutations.

For example, Ye Lians Kaleidoscope was currently just in its embryonic form, but at the King level, it would inevitably undergo a tremendous change.

Therefore, the true toughness of King level Zombies lay in their mutation abilities.

However, these abilities varied in strength. Take Bighead for example; his Hallucination ability was indeed powerful, but its weaknesses were also very obvious, making this mutation somewhat of a hindrance rather than an a.s.set.

No matter how good a mutation ability is, if it cant be effectively used, its pointless!

In terms of strength, these female Zombies, individually, couldnt possibly match Bighead.

But when they teamed up and cooperated, Bighead got overwhelmed.

When had he ever experienced such a group beating?

Moreover, with their concerted efforts, the gap in strength between them and Bighead rapidly narrowed!

Ling Mos main bodys greatest strength was his psychic power.

But what truly made him formidable was his Puppet Control Ability!

With him as the central hub, the female Zombies actions could be highly coordinated, effectively merging them into a cohesive whole.

Number and cooperation combined, Bighead was thoroughly suppressed!

However, if it were only the attacks from his Zombie counterparts, Bighead could still hold on for a long time and might even find a chance to escape.

But after resting for a while, Ling Mo came back!

As soon as Bighead smelled Ling Mo approaching, he went berserk.

This human dared to come back!

But Ling Mo clearly didnt have any intention of getting close. As soon as he found Bigheads psychic light cl.u.s.ter, he stopped.

Bighead, distracted by Ling Mos sudden reappearance, exposed a vulnerability and got shot in the leg.

Seeing Bighead in pain, Ling Mo seized the opportunity.

Psychic Strangulation!

Under normal circ.u.mstances, Ling Mos Psychic Attack would be largely ineffective against a King level Zombie.

As for Control, that was out of the question.

However, in a wounded state, Bigheads psychic fluctuations intensified, and Ling Mos psychic strangulation surprisingly had a commendable effect.

Bighead groaned and everything went black for a moment.

Under the vigilant watch of several female Zombies, even this momentary lapse was enough to launch a new wave of coordinated strikes against him

Once Bighead was injured again, Ling Mo quickly consolidated his psychic tentacles, ready to unleash a second round of psychic strangulation

With Ling Mo joining in, the entire Zombie mob fight gained a focal point, significantly increasing battle efficiency.

In contrast, Bigheads misery also escalated.

A King level Zombie is indeed tough to kill. The initial gunshot wound has already started to heal, and the recently wounded areas have stopped bleeding

Logically, with all these injuries, blood loss alone should have been fatal. But Bigheads formidable self-recovery ability, characteristic of a King level Zombie, kept him struggling.

However, Ling Mo never intended to just kill him outright

Boom!

As Bighead was once again slammed into the ground, Ling Mo, now drenched in sweat, immediately took action.

Following a psychic strangulation, another psychic tentacle shot out.

Taking advantage of the instant fluctuation in Bigheads psychic activity, the psychic tentacle ruthlessly pierced into his psychic light cl.u.s.ter.

The intense psychic activity caused Ling Mo a splitting headache, but this was the moment he had been waiting for after such a prolonged struggle!

Devour!

As Ling Mo forcibly drew out Bigheads mental energy, Bigheads eyes shot open, and he let out a piercing, agonizing scream.

This pain, stemming from the psychic level, was overwhelming, even for the Frenzy and bloodthirsty instincts of a Zombie.

In agony, Bigheads resistance instinctively increased manifold, and before Ling Mos eyes, various images flashed

Indeed, this Zombies mental energy was much greater than most, but that wasnt Ling Mos primary reason for devouring him. The true motive was to gain a deeper understanding of how to control the direction of a Zombies mutation

Ling Mo had grasped the general concept, but details couldnt be overlooked.

The memories seen while devouring the mental energy, however, might not contain relevant information and were more likely to be filled with disgusting, nauseating scenes.

Especially for such a Wild Zombie, which had killed countless beings, the experience of devouring its mental energy would be gut-wrenching.

But as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Ling Mo wouldnt miss out

In the greenbelt, Ye Lian had already put down her gun.

She glanced back at Xu Shuhan, noticing that her potential kindred spirit was covering her mouth with her hand, evidently shocked by the horrific screams.

Itwontattract Zombies, Ye Lian a.s.sured.

Thats not what Im afraid of Xu Shuhan shook her head, still looking horrified.

Zombies can make such agony-filled cries?

Arent they supposed to be fearless?

Could this sound have been caused by Ling Mos actions?

Everything that had happened today was a mystery to Xu Shuhan.

But one thing she knew for sure: it was Ling Mo who got them out of trouble. And because of Ling Mo, she hadnt fully mutated

No matter how Ling Mo managed it, this fight was definitely not an easy one

As Ling Mo continued to Devour, the psychic power he had expended was gradually replenished. Bighead, who had been struggling constantly, slowly calmed down, his empty purple eyes staring blankly at the sky, his body occasionally twitching.

The King level Zombie, who had treated Ling Mo like a plaything, was ultimately played to death.

Slas.h.!.+

With a swift motion, Xia Nas blade fell, and a flash of purple light landed in her hand.

This is the King level mother hive

The moment Ling Mo received it, he immediately placed the purple mother hive into a plastic bag for preservation.

If its scent were to disperse, those Zombies, who had been too intimidated to come closer, would be drawn in.

Even for just a moment, Ling Mo caught a whiff of the intense virus aroma.

He then took out the mutation creature mother hive, comparing the two side by side.

These two mother hives were distinctly different from any he had obtained before.

Especially the King level one, which was a dazzling purple. Though its size wasnt large, it resembled a purely exquisite gem, appearing transparent under the sunlight.

Bighead just Devoured the Bird Zombies mother hive, so this one must have been recently upgraded. Its effect is better than the combined effect of the other two mother hives

Ling Mo couldnt help but smile; he had made a huge profit this time

Two different King level mother hives, plus firsthand secret data on Zombie mutations
