Chapter 176 – Ling Mo, Three Shots for Your Hard Work

The mental activities of ordinary people are very frequent, and even when Ling Mo observes them, he finds it very exhausting.

It’s like thrusting a Tentacle into a wildly spinning blender; in one careless moment, the Tentacle could be completely shredded.

Therefore, controlling humans is entirely impossible, and controlling a Senior Zombie is also extremely challenging.

Unless it’s someone like Ye Lian or Xia Na, who established a Psychic Link with Ling Mo early on and grew up with him. Or someone like Li Yalin, who Ling Mo took advantage of when she was knocked out.

But if it’s a Leader-Level Zombie, with Ling Mo’s current level of Psychic Power, he would only be able to control it by rendering it completely brain-dead.

However, the Psychic Light Cluster of 2 seemed almost broken, nearly chaotic.

It’s unclear whether this is due to his superpowers or his own personal flaws.

But this could explain why he said his superpowers were unreliable. With such severe mental defects, he is still a Psychic Type superhuman…

“Cough cough, Mr. Ling Mo, I was just curious…”

The feeling of suffocation is very uncomfortable, and 2 was already kicking his legs frantically.

“If it happens again, I’ll kill you.”

Ling Mo frowned, reached out, and released 2, tossing him to the ground.

With a heavy thud, 2 groaned in pain immediately. It was clear that Ling Mo wasn’t joking with his words.

2 grumbled as he got up, brushing the dirt off his clothes. “I get it. I don’t want to die yet; I haven’t found an older woman with a matching pelvis yet…”

“Curiosity can kill you. If you have the time to be curious, you should care more about yourself. In your state, having superpowers is more of a curse. Even ordinary people might backfire against you.”

Ling Mo sneered.

“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. You must think I’m a Psychopath, right? But you’d be wrong if you think that. I just think about too many things, so my brain can’t handle it all…”

2 waved his hand and smiled, “And besides, I thought you wouldn’t notice, so I got curious and wanted to check it out. Since it didn’t work, I won’t play with fire again. Don’t worry, I’ll stick with you tenaciously until you tell me what your superpower is and whether those three girls are superhumans.”

“I regret it; I should just kill you right now…”

When resting at night, Ling Mo and his group were still assigned to Xia Na’s room.

But what made Ling Mo a bit embarrassed was that he noticed the Restroom trash bin had been cleaned…

Had the plastic wrap been discovered?

Thinking of the peculiar smiles some of the remaining Survivors gave him, Ling Mo immediately felt a headache.

If he had known, he would have taken it with him and disposed of it! And really, they are taking such good care of a place about to be left behind?

Of course, they were doing it to curry favor with Ling Mo…

As soon as Li Yalin sat on the edge of the bed, she fixed her gaze on Ling Mo, making him feel his muscles instinctively tense.

However, maybe because Li Yalin was deeply impressed by the super strength Ling Mo displayed after being stimulated by the Juices, she didn’t take the risk to pounce on him.

Instead, it was Ye Lian who kept snuggling into Ling Mo’s arms, asking him to help enhance her combat strength…

Ling Mo certainly wouldn’t refuse such a reasonable request. However, while squeezing Ye Lian’s ever-growing breasts, he was also observing her Psychic Light Cluster with his Psychic Tentacle.

During their previous battle, Ling Mo had felt that Ye Lian’s Psychic Fluctuation was somewhat unusual. Observing her now, this feeling became even stronger.

It seemed the physical pleasure was stimulating Ye Lian’s mental state; in her excitement, her Psychic Power felt more concentrated.

“Could it be that stimulation leads to gradual improvement? No, it seems more like the Virus is being concentrated…”

Ling Mo was baffled. If the Virus was really concentrated, wouldn’t that mean her blood and body wouldn’t contain any Virus?

That should be impossible. Although most of the Virus is concentrated in the Hindbrain, slowly forming a Gel like a stone, there’s still a considerable amount of toxins in the body, especially in the blood.

Saliva and Juices actually contain a very small amount of the Virus. However, this concentration is extremely low, to the point where it poses little to no threat to Ling Mo.

In a sense, he is gradually moving toward Virus immunity, although he is just at the beginning of this journey.

“I still need to capture and dissect a Senior Zombie to get a better understanding.”

Ling Mo thought. The two Advanced Zombies he encountered at X City University seemed to have just advanced. Aside from being pure, the Gel in their brains hadn’t undergone any significant qualitative change.

For real research, a Leader-Level Zombie would be best, like Ban Yue…

Ling Mo didn’t believe that half a vial of Venom could kill her, but it would certainly cause her some trouble due to its quantity and potency.

Forget it, it’s better if that troublesome female zombie doesn’t show up again. Leader-Level Zombies should be quite rare. If nothing else works, he’ll have to wait for the right opportunity.

For now, his hope was placed on that Biological Research Institute.

While Ling Mo was deep in thought, Li Yalin suddenly pounced on him. He was about to brace himself when he realized that this Senior Sister had eagerly reached her hand into his chest.

“Huh? Want the Gel? Didn’t I just give you some?”

“I… I want…”

“Uh, do you mean the Mutation Beast’s Gel?”

Ling Mo felt her hand groping around in his chest and couldn’t help but feel helpless.

Ever since Li Yalin was poisoned by the Venom, she had become somewhat peculiar, having repeatedly expressed a craving for the Mutation Beast’s Gel before.

However, until he could confirm that it was safe for zombies to consume this, he didn’t dare give it to her recklessly.

Thinking back to the Zombie Puppet that ate it before, it didn’t seem to face any major issues…

“Alright, since you instinctively crave it, it should be beneficial for you. But you’d better not turn into a Mutation Beast yourself. I don’t want to wake up and find out you’ve become half-human, half-snake.”

Ling Mo always kept such crucial items with him, wrapped securely in several layers of plastic wrap to avoid skin contact.

Maybe it was because it had been nourished by Ling Mo’s body heat, but when he took out the Gel, it seemed almost alive, glowing a faint red.

Li Yalin eagerly opened her mouth, seemingly waiting for Ling Mo to feed her.

“Can I eat this?” Xia Na curiously leaned over and asked.

Ling Mo quickly stuffed a piece of Gel into Li Yalin’s mouth, then turned to Xia Na and said, “Don’t be reckless. Since Senior Sister craves this, it means her instincts tell her she needs it. You don’t need it, and you definitely shouldn’t eat random things.”

“My instincts tell me Ling-Ge is delicious, so can I eat you?”

“Sure, but only when you stop biting. I have a treasure I can give you then.”

While Ling Mo was teasing Xia Na, he suddenly felt his body tense up.

Turning his head, he saw Li Yalin sitting on him, her eyes blood-red.

In the dim light of night, her eyes seemed brighter than usual. For a moment, Ling Mo even thought he was looking at the Mutation Snake again.

“No way, eating the Gel shouldn’t result in the Mutation Snake resurrecting through her body…”

As the Virus impacted Li Yalin, Ling Mo felt it too, experiencing waves of stabbing pain throughout his body.

When Ye Lian and Xia Na improved before, Ling Mo’s biggest gain was in his Psychic Power. But this time, with Li Yalin consuming the Mutation Beast’s Viral Gel, he felt a physical impact.

Alternating waves of pain and pleasure surged through him, making Ling Mo grit his teeth.

Li Yalin, meanwhile, pressed her hand against Ling Mo’s chest, her expression showing a mix of pain.

If someone who didn’t know the situation walked in, they might think they were making love…

This process didn’t last long—after just over ten minutes, Li Yalin collapsed, exhausted, into Ling Mo’s arms.

Looking closely at her reddened eyes, one might notice that even her pupils seemed to have changed slightly.

Sharp and wild, that sinister feeling was more pronounced, and her body seemed to have become more flexible.

Could it be that the Virus within her had fully integrated with the Venom from the Mutation Snake?

If that’s the case, he might as well save the remaining half bottle of Venom for her.

Gasping for breath, Ling Mo observed the changes in Li Yalin after her re-mutation while also assessing his own condition.

He lifted his hand and tried clenching his fist.

His strength hadn’t increased, but he did feel lighter.

Though the benefits of increased lightness weren’t immediately apparent, enhancing his agility could be useful. Still, he secretly hoped for more strength to achieve his dream of mastering the “triple flying technique.”

Of course, Ling Mo knew that being more nimble in battle was greatly advantageous.

Even a slight increase in speed could be a decisive factor in life-and-death fights.

“Who knows what the Viral Gel from the Mutation Wolfdog will do to Senior Sister. However, this one shouldn’t contain any toxins, so it might not have a significant impact. The effects of that bottle of Venom are something to look forward to.”

After a night of rest, Ling Mo felt that his Psychic Power had fully recovered to its optimal state.

When he jumped out of bed, he distinctly felt the benefits of increased physical ability and agility.

Though he wasn’t yet silent when walking, his steps were indeed much lighter. In combat, this improvement would be even more noticeable.

“In my current state, if 2 uses Psychic Storm again, I could probably counter it and turn him into an idiot.”

Ling Mo thought with satisfaction.

Downstairs, he saw Guo Chao directing the survivors to load the vehicles.

All the packed food supplies, including the weapons from the rooms, were being loaded into the off-road vehicle.

Meng Jiayu had managed to get her hands on another off-road vehicle from somewhere. Although it couldn’t plow through obstacles like a military armored jeep, it was still functional.

However, the front had been smashed in, ruining its prestigious emblem.

Both vehicles seemed to be full of fuel, and there were two iron fuel barrels on the side. These people were very well-prepared.

Ouyang Lian came running over, dragging a Long Knife. As she passed by Ling Mo, he grabbed her by the collar.

“Don’t handle such dangerous things; let me take that.”

“Hehe, thanks, Ling Mo.”

Meng Jiayu had just gotten out of the off-road vehicle and waved at Ling Mo from a distance. “Good morning, Ling Mo.”

“Morning.” Ling Mo handed the Long Knife to Guo Chao with a smile.

As soon as he and Ye Lian and the three girls appeared, almost everyone stopped what they were doing, turned around, nodded, or smiled to greet them.

Guo Chao, who had been squatting by the armored jeep’s tire, studying something, looked up and grinned at Ling Mo. “Morning, Ling Mo. Tired from last night? It must be tough sleeping with three women…”

“I swear I’m going to kill you…”
