Chapter 346 – The Advancing Infants

Before the off-road vehicle hit the road, Luo Ni and Wu Pengfei had sincerely hoped that Yuwen Xuan was just making things up…

But the truth proved that everything he said… was real!

The zombies on the road were like waves; just when they managed to fend off one wave, more would emerge from every corner.

Ling Mo’s psychic power was being rapidly depleted. If it weren’t for the blood contributed by the Spider Queen, he would have long been unable to keep going.

Ye Lian and Wu Pengfei’s bullets were completely spent, leaving only a dozen grenades.

When they threw them into the dense clusters of zombies, flames would burst forth, followed by countless flying severed limbs.

The one responsible for tossing the grenades was Black Silk. Although her host body wasn’t as strong as Ye Lian’s, her main body had an extremely keen sense of smell and sharp judgment.

She hardly needed to rely on her eyes to assess; just by sniffing, she could determine where the zombies were most concentrated, and her throws were always on target.

No one had expected that this seemingly useless maid girl could play such a significant role at this critical moment. Wu Pengfei felt that if his eyes widened any further, they would truly pop out of his head…

Since meeting Ling Mo, the surprises and shocks he experienced were almost equal in number, continuously challenging the limits of his heart’s endurance.

“Wahoo! This is awesome! Hahahaha! Yalin, Ling Mo is really amazing!”

Yuwen Xuan suddenly honked the horn, letting out an extremely excited shout.

However, Ling Mo had already noticed that, despite his manic demeanor, Yuwen Xuan could make remarkably calm judgments at crucial moments.

If it weren’t for his several sharp turns to shake off some of the zombies, Ling Mo’s pressure would undoubtedly be greater.

Moreover, speeding through hordes of zombies would be impossible without strong nerves and accurate judgment.

“Phew… With Yuwen Xuan’s coordination, I can almost focus all my attention on the zombies ahead without any worries. So this battle is also an excellent training opportunity for me.”

Ling Mo exhaled deeply, thinking with some excitement.

Ling Mo’s psychic power hit rock bottom several times but was quickly replenished. During this process, Ling Mo felt that the intensity of his psychic power seemed to be stimulated and showed signs of growth.

Ling Mo had already developed some new methods of using his psychic power, but the biggest obstacle in front of him was the lack of intensity.

However, psychic power isn’t something that can be easily enhanced.

The evolution of a superhuman is not as straightforward and convenient as that of a zombie.

Zombies can devour their kind, but what can superhumans devour? Are they supposed to bite other superhumans?

Therefore, every opportunity for growth was extremely precious to Ling Mo.

The off-road vehicle rampaged through the streets, leaving a trail of zombie corpses.

Ling Mo noticed that Yuwen Xuan chose roads with fewer vehicles.

Even if the way ahead was blocked, he would find a way to go around, ensuring that the group wouldn’t be trapped.

“Do you know? You guys are really lucky! During this period, that variation zombie is inactive. Because it’s injured, we’ve all speculated that it might have already fled!”

Yuwen Xuan suddenly shouted.

A variation zombie?

Right, with so many zombies trapped in such a small area, a leader-level zombie would definitely evolve.

If a leader-level zombie really jumped out to block the way, that would be terrifying…

But thinking about such an important matter, Yuwen Xuan didn’t even mention it and brought them here to try their luck. Ling Mo really wanted to jump into the car and slap him!

“Attention! We’re going to loop around to the camp. That’s where the zombies are most concentrated!”

Yuwen Xuan’s shout made Wu Pengfei’s face turn extremely grim.

That’s where the most are? How are the dense zombies here supposed to feel about that?!

Luo Ni had long been scared out of her wits. To her, a few more zombies wouldn’t make much difference compared to now…

“Compared to the importance of the test subject… taking some risks is nothing.”

Ling Mo took a deep breath and swallowed another dose of the potion, making full preparations.

“Phew!”

The vehicle sped down a garden avenue, and the number of zombies on the road significantly increased.

Moreover, the proportion of senior zombies was clearly higher. Many zombies began to find ways to bypass Ling Mo’s attacks and successfully pounced on the car.

But Ye Lian and the others displayed incredibly formidable combat skills at this time. With their limited vision inside the car, Ling Mo used Black Silk for vision sharing.

After Black Silk evolved, it greatly reduced Ling Mo’s psychic power consumption during vision sharing, and the relay speed was much faster.

It felt like the processor had received an upgrade.

Ling Mo vaguely sensed that her psychic realm seemed to have some peculiarities, but now was not the time to explore them. He could only note it down in his mind for now.

For a moment, Ling Mo, his girlfriends, and Black Silk, the pet, protected the entire car seamlessly.

Flames began to appear in front of the car as Yuwen Xuan started to take action.

Just as the pressure eased slightly, Yuwen Xuan suddenly let out a strange shout: “Look, at your ten o’clock! The real monster is here!”

“Damn it! Would it kill you to say ‘left front’!”

Ling Mo cursed and then looked in the direction Yuwen Xuan indicated.

“Holy crap!”

At first, Ling Mo only saw the endless zombie horde, but soon, he spotted the “monster” Yuwen Xuan mentioned!

It was a rather plump zombie; judging by its psychic fluctuations, it had just stepped into the advanced zombie level.

Normally, dealing with such a zombie would require some effort from Ling Mo, but it wasn’t something to worry too much about. What really made Ling Mo’s eyes widen was the small creature sitting on the zombie’s head!

It was no bigger than a cat, and it looked very much like a human baby, except its eyes were glowing red, and when it opened its mouth, a row of tiny teeth could be seen.

Its chubby little hands waved around, and for a moment, it actually looked… pretty cute!

Li Yalin suddenly jumped up and struggled to stick her head out through the sunroof.

Seeing the intense longing in Li Yalin’s eyes, Ling Mo felt a surge of emotion.

This… was a zombie offspring…

However, it looked quite harmless!

“A zombie baby, you could say it’s a specialty of A City. Hahaha, enjoy it!”

Yuwen Xuan’s laughter echoed from inside the car.

But soon, he let out a cry of pain, “Ouch! Yalin, why did you kick my head?”

Li Yalin, expressionless, replied, “Ling Mo is mine. Who told you to chat with him so often?”

“Hey, you’re jealous of the wrong person!” Ling Mo quickly whispered.

Li Yalin’s eyes widened in surprise, “Really?”

“I should be the one surprised… He’s a guy! And he’s your brother! But kicking him deserves praise.”

As soon as Ling Mo finished speaking, Yuwen Xuan’s screams of pain echoed again from below.

By this time, the plump male zombie, carrying the zombie infant, was already charging toward the off-road vehicle. Yuwen Xuan shouted from inside the car, “According to our findings, zombies’ parenting behavior is a lot like penguins’, with males taking care of the young! Or maybe like seahorses! Anyway, their combat style is very•”

“No need to explain!”

Ling Mo had his mouth wide open and could only manage to shout, “Holy crap!”

He thought the male zombie would perform a classic “run with the ball,” but to his surprise, it turned out to be a long-range shooter!

When the male zombie was still over fifty meters away from the off-road vehicle, it grabbed the zombie infant from its head and hurled it straight at Ling Mo!

“What kind of combat style is this!”

Could it be that the zombie infant’s bones were so hard that the zombie dad used it as a bowling ball?

“If there were a law protecting underage zombies, you’d definitely be guilty.”

Ling Mo felt a shiver run down his spine, but thanks to Yuwen Xuan’s earlier warning, he was prepared despite his apprehensions.

In an instant, dozens of psychic tentacles formed a large net in front of him, already materialized…

“Yiya!”

When the zombie infant collided with Ling Mo’s psychic tentacles at high speed, he realized he was completely wrong!

This little guy didn’t have hard bones; it was almost boneless, a plump, round meatball!
