Chapter 534 – Your Pants Are Falling Down

After confirming Ye Lian’s thoughts, Ling Mo felt a surge of determination.

When he first heard Ye Lian express her desire to regain her humanity, Ling Mo had been worried that she was being impulsive.

Who knows if zombies even have impulses? In battle, zombies are practically synonymous with impulsiveness.

Now, hearing Ye Lian finally speak her mind, Ling Mo felt both moved and excited.

Ye Lian’s wish was his motivation!

Initially, Ling Mo’s idea was simply to help Ye Lian recover her memories from when she was human.

But as the number of female zombies around him grew and their strength increased step by step, Ling Mo gradually realized that his initial idea was too simple.

Recovering memories wasn’t difficult; once they reached Leader-Level, a large amount of their memories would already be restored.

But getting them to value those memories or to rekindle some emotions was truly challenging.

Xia Na was an exception, but her situation precisely demonstrated that the nature of a zombie and human nature couldn’t be integrated.

Just look at Li Yalin. She had been by Ling Mo’s side for a long time, and under the dual influence of the psychic link and Ling Mo’s teachings, she had gradually suppressed some of her zombie nature. But when faced with her only relative, Yuwen Xuan, she remained extremely guarded. Perhaps it wasn’t because she disliked Yuwen Xuan, but because she knew she might not be able to resist harming him. After all, Yuwen Xuan wasn’t Ling Mo; he didn’t have the mate bond that Ling Mo and Li Yalin shared.

Zombies don’t know how to express their thoughts, and Ling Mo’s conclusions about Li Yalin’s situation were drawn from his observations.

The reason he wanted Li Yalin to spend more time with Yuwen Xuan was in hopes of awakening some of her emotions…

But now, it seemed very difficult.

Just like Ye Lian, she had realized that although she had recovered some memories, to her, those memories were just fleeting images.

She wouldn’t feel any emotions towards those memories, nor could she relive the feelings she had at the time.

This troubled Ye Lian a lot. In fact, this was precisely why she had been somewhat avoiding Ling Mo after advancing to Leader-Level.

She could sense Ling Mo’s desire and care, but she couldn’t respond in time.

And Xia Na’s situation had led Ye Lian to find what seemed like the most reliable solution—regaining her humanity.

“Xia Na never completely lost her humanity from the beginning, so she can’t be used as a perfect example. However, since human bodies can turn into zombies, it’s not impossible for a zombie’s brain to regain some human traits. As long as we can truly understand what the virus is, we can find the right cure…”

Ling Mo had gradually calmed down from his excitement and managed to sort out his thoughts.

But after figuring everything out, Ling Mo suddenly had a shock, his eyes widening.

“Where the hell is Niepan?!”

Everything was ready, except for the crucial piece of information about when and where this ‘wind’ would blow.

“Damn, damn, damn, damn!”

The most important intelligence was completely missing!

“No.0! You bastard!”

Ling Mo clenched his fists and cursed inwardly for a while before calming down to think.

True, he didn’t know where Niepan was, but perhaps Niepan’s people might come looking for him.

No.0 was very important to Niepan, and it almost got scrapped because of Ling Mo. It was obvious that Niepan must have been significantly affected by this.

If they didn’t come looking for trouble with him, that would be strange…

“In hindsight, I shouldn’t have rushed to deal with No.0. I should have hit it hard, made it hurt a bit more! But what kind of mindset is this? While everyone else avoids trouble, here I am hoping for it…”

Ling Mo felt a bit helpless with his own thoughts for a moment…

“Could they find their way to the F Team knowing Jianqi is dead?”

Thinking of this, Ling Mo immediately thought of Lucy.

Her situation was similar to Ling Mo’s and also bore a resemblance to what Jianqi had described as the perfect body.

However, Jianqi’s research was full of flaws, not even comparable to Lucy’s condition, let alone Ling Mo’s…

“Wait a minute!”

Ling Mo suddenly frowned, “If I think about it this way… am I not the ultimate test subject?”

The more he thought about it, the more Ling Mo felt that his situation closely matched what Jianqi had described!

A combination of a human superhuman and a zombie!

Although Ling Mo’s body was still a bit different from that of a pure zombie, he was steadfastly undergoing slow and steady changes!

Absorbing saliva, making love although the frequency wasn’t very high, each time he could feel subtle changes in his body…

The thought that Jianqi and Niepan were desperately conducting all sorts of research, yet still couldn’t match the speed of his progress from making love with female zombies, gave Ling Mo a rush of satisfaction!

“For a moment, I feel like I’ve lost all my integrity…” Ling Mo suddenly froze.

However… their research, although far inferior to Ling Mo’s results, did have one advantage that Ling Mo lacked.

Ling Mo had no theoretical knowledge!

He knew that after making love, he absorbed a small amount of the virus, which slowly enhanced his body. But why the zombie virus could perfectly integrate with him without turning him into a zombie was something Ling Mo couldn’t figure out.

As the saying goes, every profession has its expertise. Ling Mo wouldn’t waste his time trying to understand this by digging out middle school biology textbooks and starting from scratch…

Damn, how many years would it take to figure that out!

“Stay close to Lucy, then… kill two birds with one stone!”

Once Ling Mo figured this out, he started to giggle foolishly while instinctively pushing away the scythe Xia Na had secretly handed over: “Don’t mess around… hey, damn it!”

“Snap!”

Ling Mo’s belt fell with a sound, and his pants immediately dropped to his feet.

“Senior Sister, run!”

The culprit, Xia Na, after completing this highly difficult “one-second pants removal,” immediately shouted and ran off.

Li Yalin, although she hadn’t done anything, quickly followed after hearing Xia Na’s shout.

Even Ye Lian ran…

Ling Mo hurriedly pulled up his pants while shouting, “You two idiots, why are you running too? Catch her for me… Xia Na, just wait, tonight I’ll deal with you properly… how dare you trick my helpers away!”

“Hee hee, I’ll be waiting for you!” Xia Na’s laughter echoed from afar.

Zombies with humanity and intelligence are indeed hard to deal with!

It took Ling Mo a full two minutes to finally get his pants back on and then clean up the bloodstains at the scene.

As Ling Mo slowly walked to the staircase corner while holding up his pants, he suddenly stopped.

“Who’s there?!”

He immediately turned around sharply and looked up the stairs.

Above was the rooftop, a place rarely visited by anyone.

Lucy had specifically chosen this spot for the sake of privacy. If their fight had taken place elsewhere, it would have caused a commotion long ago.

But just a moment ago, Ling Mo felt like he had sensed something.

Did someone come down from the rooftop? Or go up?

Not hearing any sounds, Ling Mo cautiously slowed his steps and climbed the stairs.

The door to the rooftop was ajar, swaying slightly with the wind.

“Could it be the noise I heard was this?” Ling Mo grabbed the door handle and slowly pushed it open.

Earlier, Xia Na had been hiding here, waiting for orders. If she had left it open, it would make sense.

But if someone had come afterward, they might have heard something, like the fight between Jianqi and Ling Mo’s group…

Out of caution, Ling Mo decided to check it out.

However, just as he stepped through the door, he felt a shadow appear beside him.

A dark gun barrel was pointed directly at Ling Mo’s temple: “Don’t move.”

Ling Mo’s movement froze, but his tentacle had already reached out. After a psychic strangulation, the gun fell with a muffled grunt, and Ling Mo caught it.

“Don’t move.” Ling Mo held the gun, aiming it at the shadow.

“It’s you?”

The shadow turned out to be Su Qianrou, the person he’d been trying to avoid these past few days.

To his surprise, Su Qianrou looked amused, even with the gun pointed at her.

“Idiot, the gun has no bullets.”

She raised her hand, showing the magazine in her other hand: “I was just joking. I didn’t expect you to react so strongly. You scared me to death.”

Saying this, the Chief of Staff patted her chest, causing a noticeable ripple.

“Uh…”

Ling Mo could only force a wry smile. Damn, who jokes like that…

As he laughed, Ling Mo took a step inside. Suddenly, he heard a “snap.”

“Ugh~”

A cold breeze blew through. After a few seconds of staring at each other, Su Qianrou suddenly said, “Your pants fell down…”
