Chapter 504 – Beautiful on the Outside, Often a Poisonous Snake

“Hey, Xiao Bai, do you smell anything…?”

In the “forest,” a giant panda was swaying its hips, moving forward slowly with a standard pigeon-toed gait.

On its back sat a little girl with a look of amazement on her face.

Their two pairs of eyes curiously looked around, but there was no sign of panic or nervousness.

Although the scene before them had suddenly changed so bizarrely, for a mutation beast and a Leader-Level Zombie, this kind of change was really nothing.

The real problem was that when a zombie loli and a mutation beast with an IQ hovering around nine to ten got together, they inevitably got lost…

Unable to sense their location, the scent seemed to be everywhere, seemingly close but also far, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact direction.

Yu Shiran lay down on Xiao Bai, grabbing a tuft of its white fur, and shouted, “Whoa…”

“MeGu!”

The mutation panda shook its head and let out a low growl.

At the same time, Yu Shiran also received a simultaneous translation from Black Silk…

However, the zombie loli just waved her hand dismissively and said, “Don’t mind that. It’s a human command to stop. As a National Treasure, aren’t you embarrassed to be illiterate? Learn something!”

Yu Shiran looked around with her big eyes, suddenly showing a strange expression: “Xiao Bai, we’ve walked so far, but we haven’t found that Sausage Human, and he’s not calling me in my head like usual…”

Saying this, the zombie loli tapped her head with her hand and then sniffed hard: “At a time like this… at a time like this…” She clenched her little fist, her eyes shining with excitement, “Could this be a good opportunity?”

A dangerous idea suddenly popped into Yu Shiran’s mind.

Then this Leader-Level Zombie, who couldn’t think around corners, immediately got excited and her eyes turned red.

“Hahaha, foolish human, taking advantage of this opportunity, watch how I steal your pet! Let’s find Ban Yue, hahaha…”

The zombie loli stood with her hands on her hips, laughing joyfully.

For Yu Shiran’s self-talk, the mutation panda Xiao Bai naturally couldn’t understand.

And although Black Silk’s intelligence had grown, it still hadn’t reached the level where it could analyze complex situations and make corresponding judgments.

Ling Mo had only instructed it not to let Yu Shiran speak freely in front of strangers, but hadn’t forbidden Yu Shiran from running around…

Moreover, the zombie loli’s current actions weren’t aimed at attacking Ling Mo…

After laughing arrogantly for a couple of seconds, Yu Shiran extended her small hand and patted the mutation panda’s ear: “Xiao Bai, let’s go! Hmph, even though we can’t eat Sausage Humans now, once I find Ban Yue and bring her back… sausages, one or two, won’t we eat them as we please?”

“MeGu!”

Xiao Bai’s head dipped from the pat, then it reluctantly changed direction, heading into the forest…

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, a figure was swiftly moving through the trees.

The speed was incredible, and there was no sound.

Those obstacles seemed to have no effect on her movements, as she almost directly ran towards the trees lightly and swiftly.

As the trees rapidly loomed larger in front of her, just when she was about to crash into them, she deftly and swiftly maneuvered around them with a series of unbelievable quick movements.

Every gesture was fluid and graceful, filled with an eerie beauty.

After consuming the mutation snake gel for some time, although Li Yalin’s appearance hadn’t undergone any significant changes, her body had quietly experienced many transformations.

Even Ling Mo wasn’t entirely clear on the extent of these changes.

For example, the phrase “elbows bending outwards” was originally meant to insult someone, but in reality, most normal humans couldn’t bend their elbows inward…

However, due to the virus’s modifications to her body, Li Yalin could easily perform such actions that were entirely impossible for humans.

Her body was more flexible than that of professional contortionists, especially in terms of joint flexibility, which had far surpassed the limits of human capability.

The most crucial part was that her changes weren’t for show, nor did they require any preparation or practice, but were becoming a part of her instinctive behavior.

“Swish!”

Li Yalin lightly twisted her body, spinning in mid-air. With a delicate tap of her toes in the void, she effortlessly dodged a large tree in front of her.

However, just as she landed, a flash of cold light suddenly stabbed at her from the side.

This attack came suddenly and swiftly. For an average person, landing meant they wouldn’t have time to react, leaving them with a gaping wound.

But Li Yalin, the moment she landed, smoothly bent backward and slid under the cold flash.

As she rose, she twisted her waist, pivoted on her heel, and completed a beautiful turn in mid-air, reaching out to grab the cold light with one hand.

“Ding!”

Though only her fingers touched the cold light, a series of sparks instantly illuminated Li Yalin’s face.

The cold light came fast but retracted just as quickly.

Li Yalin steadied her stance, looked along the cold light, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

In her field of vision, a figure emerged from behind a large tree…

This person had been holding their breath, deliberately hiding. Li Yalin hadn’t noticed them while she was running.

But now, with a slight sniff, she could smell the human scent emanating from them…

“Damn!”

Loong shook his wrist, which had gone numb from the impact, and stared warily at this woman, his brows furrowed tightly.

Just by watching her movement, Loong knew she was probably an agile superhuman, similar to Black Cat.

Agile types, while troublesome, had very obvious weaknesses.

After a brief consideration, Loong decided to strike.

His sneak attack just now, both in timing and angle, was extremely precise.

Even if he had targeted someone familiar with his moves, like Black Cat, they would have been in a very tough spot.

But the agility and reaction speed of this woman in front of him… were simply too high!

To react at the moment of being ambushed, to not only dodge the attack but immediately counterattack…

Those sparks… she must have some kind of weapon hidden in her palm!

And given the force…

“What a troublesome woman… Hey, not bad luck, running into a tough one right off the bat, and she’s quite pretty too.”

Loong quickly relaxed his brows. Not only that, but he also eyed Li Yalin up and down with a satisfied and intrigued expression.

His pseudonym was rather shameless, tying himself to a certain international superstar.

If circumstances permitted, he might even have found a yellow jumpsuit to wear…

Moreover, he was quite combative, always looking for a sparring match whenever he had the chance.

What surprised Loong was that this woman was staring at him without any hint of nervousness…

But her gaze seemed even more dangerous than his…

It was like the look a zombie gives a human, or a predator eyes its prey!

Loong was initially startled, then he became somewhat embarrassed and angry, gripping his bayonet tightly: “I’m not here to see who can stare the longest!”

Feeling challenged, Loong’s voice involuntarily rose as he sneered, “I never thought there’d be such a pretty girl in this group… Hey, if you surrender now…”

“Swish!”

In a blur, that striking figure suddenly appeared behind him.

At the same time, a voice filled with laughter, and even a hint of excitement, whispered into his ear: “Shallow prey, haven’t you heard that the prettier the snake, the more poisonous it is?”

Hiss.

The sudden sting on his skin made Loong’s hair stand on end.

In an instant, he felt an overwhelming sense of life-and-death crisis, as if a venomous snake was crawling on his skin, flicking its tongue, ready to bite!

“Ah!”

Loong couldn’t help but shout, his muscles tensing as he leapt forward…
