Chapter 672 – Arguing with Humans? Are You Courting Death?

Just looking at those eyes, it was already clear that the person standing behind them was none other than the humanoid Monster recorded in the Air Force Corps archives and temporarily named the Enhanced Zombie.

At this moment, through the Mirror, Ling Mo could only see those eyes.

The figure, which didn’t seem particularly tall, stood with its back to the light, its entire body shrouded in darkness.

Why did it have to be at this moment?

In the past few hours, there had been so much commotion, yet this Monster didn’t appear. Now, unexpectedly, it showed up…

Putting strength aside, the mere fact that it could almost completely evade Ling Mo’s psychic probe ability was enough to make him highly cautious.

The Monster merely stood there but achieved the same level of concealment as other Zombies.

Ling Mo had never encountered such a situation before.

“Move!”

Ling Mo kept signaling Ye Lian with his eyes.

The best course of action now would be for him to stall for time, allowing Ye Lian to escape with Xia Na and the others.

Whether they could win the fight or not was uncertain, but Ling Mo was somewhat confident about escaping.

Given the usual circumstances, Ye Lian would cooperate perfectly at times like this.

However, the pressure from the Monster made her hesitate.

During this time, the Monster seemed unaware of the commotion, continuing to look at Ling Mo with curiosity, not moving at all.

“Getting addicted to staring, huh…”

Ling Mo clenched his fists, feeling a touch of Sweat.

At this moment, Ye Lian finally moved. Her figure flickered as she dashed towards the nearest door.

Simultaneously, the shadow in the Mirror suddenly vanished!

Bang!

A dull thud resounded, accompanied by a muffled groan from Ling Mo.

He felt as if his head had been struck by a baseball bat, causing intense pain. A continuous buzzing sound echoed in his skull, and his vision blurred.

Although his face turned extremely grim in an instant, Ling Mo quickly turned to look behind him.

Just about thirty meters away, the blurry figure stood there.

At first glance, the two sides were merely confronting each other through the air.

But in reality, what Ling Mo saw through his other “eyes” was a completely different scene.

A blood-red net formed by countless psychic tentacles was rapidly collapsing before his eyes. However, more tentacles immediately emerged from his psychic light cluster, mending the protective net at the same speed.

Between a pair of deep black eyes and a pair of eerie purple eyes was a cluster of mental energy resembling red mist.

The purple-eyed monster was blocked but stood upright. In Ling Mo’s hazy vision, only the long, messy hair of the Monster drifting behind it was visible.

And those purple eyes… incredibly clear…

“Bang!”

At this moment, Ye Lian had kicked open a door, grabbing Li Yalin, who was darting around the confined space inside the room, and yanking her out.

Li Yalin was in a state of instinctive awakening. Her red pupils now resembled true Snake eyes, with a ring of amber and the same color in the center.

The contrast was clear, and it looked rather eerie.

Her movement speed just now was even faster than usual. If not for Ye Lian’s mutated eyes and the small room, it wouldn’t have been easy to catch her.

Ye Lian had grabbed her just as Li Yalin’s evolution was nearing completion.

Clearly, she hadn’t successfully advanced.

But even so, her body showed noticeable signs of evolution and enhancement.

However, Ling Mo had no time to turn around and check; he didn’t even wipe the Sweat from his forehead.

The purple-eyed monster’s gaze finally bypassed Ling Mo, landing on Li Yalin and Ye Lian.

“Cackle…”

A bone-chilling laugh emerged, followed by the purple-eyed monster squeezing out a sentence: “Interesting… very interesting.”

“A newly advanced Zombie is already interesting, but to find such a kind? A half-kind?”

The purple-eyed monster’s voice was dry and harsh, unidentifiable by gender, but one could vaguely see those chillingly white teeth.

Clearly, the Monster was laughing.

However, this scene made Ling Mo’s whole body feel like his hair was standing on end.

That sinister tone didn’t sound happy at all!

“But…”

Just as the purple-eyed monster was about to continue speaking, Ye Lian had already kicked open another door.

Xia Na was pulled out, but at this moment, it wasn’t Black Na or her spiritual body, Nana, controlling the main body.

Strictly speaking, it was the complete Xia Na, yet there were some differences compared to before.

The eyes! It was the eyes!

Now, Xia Na’s eyes were different—one was black, and the other was red.

The black eye looked cunning and cold, while the red eye appeared calm and serene.

It was like their roles were reversed, but this contrast gave her a more intriguing appearance.

Xia Na’s condition was similar to Li Yalin’s, and she also caught the attention of the purple-eyed monster.

The Monster suddenly tilted its head, its grin becoming more pronounced.

However, that rigid smile and those eerie white teeth only added to the gruesome feel.

“Wait a minute…”

Ling Mo suddenly sensed something strange. Could it be that this Monster was waiting for Ye Lian to pull out all the female Zombies one by one?

For this Monster to inspect them up close?

This whole situation… felt uncomfortably similar to selecting dishes at a restaurant!

As this unsettling feeling grew stronger, Ling Mo realized he could wait no longer.

He clenched his fists tightly, his psychic power instantly focusing to a sharp point.

The psychic tentacles that had been forming a barrier in front of him suddenly split into dozens of tentacles, shooting directly towards the purple-eyed monster.

Additionally, several tentacles flattened themselves against the ground, extending towards the Monster’s feet.

His sneak attack was completely unanticipated, and it was evident that the Monster lacked the ability to sense psychic power.

It wasn’t until the tentacles were about to make contact that Ling Mo revealed his deadly intent.

Easier said than done, this maneuver was extremely challenging in execution.

The tentacle attack happened in an instant, and to stay utterly calm in that fraction of a second before launching a sudden strike was no trivial feat.

Unless one had a split personality, like those inherently capable of such control, this level of mastery required rigorous training—the kind Ling Mo had undergone.

“Human?”

The purple-eyed monster was quick to react. As soon as several tentacles materialized, it sensed the imminent danger.

The Monster’s figure blurred, and its feet seemed glued to the ground as it slid back several meters.

Amazingly, even while retreating at high speed, the purple-eyed zombie’s body could still move in a zigzag pattern!

This kind of evasion was indeed a headache for Ling Mo.

If its speed were slower, Ling Mo’s psychic reflexes would have easily kept up.

But this Monster was moving ridiculously fast!

“Are you cheating or something?”

Sweat poured from Ling Mo’s forehead. Though he stood still, his mind was anything but idle.

While using his psychic probe to track the psychic light cluster of his opponent, he simultaneously adjusted the direction of his psychic tentacles. Yet, each attempt failed.

Ling Mo hadn’t felt this kind of frustration in a long time. It was as if the Monster was deliberately avoiding capture, moving erratically.

Hundreds of tentacles had been deployed, but he hadn’t even grazed a single hair of the purple-eyed zombie!

Growing increasingly anxious, Ling Mo kept urging himself, “Faster! Go faster!”

His eyes were utterly defeated; he couldn’t even see any trace of his opponent, let alone its trajectory.

It felt like a veil over his vision, with only layers of vague afterimages discernible.

If not for his strong psychic power, Ling Mo might have thought a mere insect had flown by, instead of such a fast-moving adversary.

Why was it so fast?

“A mere human dares to attack me…”

The harsh voice drifted into Ling Mo’s ears.

“Bite me then!” Ling Mo retorted irritably.

Sensing that Ling Mo couldn’t “catch” it, the purple-eyed zombie slightly relaxed its speed.

Maintaining ultra-high speed was taxing even for the Monster.

However, this “slower” speed was still relative. Even now, it was far quicker than a normal Senior Zombie, and still outpaced someone like Li Yalin.

While Li Yalin specialized in blinking movements, this Zombie…

Ling Mo could now see clearly-its feet were moving as if equipped with springs, taking rapid, tiny steps at an incredible speed!

The Monster couldn’t quite trash-talk back after being mocked by Ling Mo.

Trying to verbally spar with a human was a losing battle for it.

After a prolonged silence, the purple-eyed zombie finally managed to respond, “Just a mere human…”

“What’s the point of adding ‘mere’ to that?”

Taking advantage of the Monster’s momentary distraction, Ling Mo’s eyes suddenly turned sharp.
