Chapter 1308 – I’m Really Interested in You

Ling Mo stood in place, and the first word that popped into his mind was: Damn!

“Don’t try to run. If you step forward with your left leg first, I’ll tear off your left leg. If you step with your right leg first, I’ll tear off your right leg. Got it?” The Dark Shadow spoke with a smile, but his words sent chills down one’s spine.

“Why don’t you turn around?” the Dark Shadow asked again.

Ling Mo let out a gentle breath… Of course, this was his main body’s action; reflected in the Zombie Puppet, it was just a slight opening of the mouth.

Even though he was mentally prepared, when Ling Mo saw the Dark Shadow’s face clearly, he couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye.

And the other party even leaned in, staring down at him intently.

“Hehehe… You know, I’m really interested in you.”

While it was observing the Zombie Puppet, Ling Mo was also observing it.

At first glance, he thought the other’s posture was odd… But upon closer inspection, he secretly sucked in a cold breath.

This guy’s arms were strange.

They weren’t ordinary arms, but rather had wing membranes like a bat.

When it lowered its arms, these wing membranes “folded” together, creating its perpetually hunched-shoulder, bizarre appearance.

And after seeing this, Ling Mo’s first reaction was that this guy looked exactly like a vampire.

No, it was even scarier than a vampire…

“What’s your name? I’m Old Gou.” It kept staring at the Zombie Puppet, a curious look in its blood-red eyes.

Listening to its self-introduction, Ling Mo didn’t relax at all. For some reason, when he met the gaze of this Monster, he felt the psychic tentacle he used to control the Zombie Puppet become unstable.

“Damn, it can use psychic attacks.” Ling Mo instantly understood.

Although he appeared to be just a common zombie, when he tried to make a move just now, this Monster noticed.

Its curiosity was clearly because of this.

Ling Mo quickly pondered, while Old Gou’s gaze grew impatient.

Although he didn’t know exactly what abilities this old “bat” had, the fact that it was staring at him so closely made Ling Mo extra cautious.

“No.” The Zombie Puppet opened its mouth and replied hoarsely.

Old Gou stared at him for a while longer, then suddenly stepped back: “Hehehe… Are you with them?”

“No,” Ling Mo replied.

“Hmm… Let’s not talk about them.” Old Gou kept smiling, “Why did you end up like this?”

Another troublesome question…

Ling Mo could have just died here… But the danger posed by this old “bat” and the Giant Zombie below was simply too great…

“Plan failed, miscalculated… In this situation, I need to update my intelligence promptly,” Ling Mo thought to himself.

The Zombie Puppet glanced at Old Gou and said slowly, “I… don’t know.”

Old Gou’s gaze instantly turned sharp. But soon, it leaned in again and asked in a low voice, “Have you ever eaten a human who could use strange abilities?” Without waiting for Ling Mo’s answer, it continued guessing, “No, no, that would require a very strong human, and you wouldn’t be able to hunt one.”

“Then, have you eaten a zombie or mutation beast with special abilities? Even just a special trait? Doesn’t have to be an ability, maybe a unique talent?” Old Gou asked again, “Actually, talent is the best… Have you eaten one?”

“Let me think… I probably have.” The Zombie Puppet replied expressionlessly. But at the same time, Ling Mo himself was already deep in thought.

So that’s it!

The key isn’t the evolved superpowers of zombies or mutation beasts, but the talents they originally possessed…

For example, some humans are born with great athletic ability. After evolving into enhancement ability superhumans, their strength will surpass others of the same type. Of course, later training can make up for this gap.

But the same thing is much harder for mutation beasts… They are the true embodiment of talent.

“So that’s it… It means they became like this all thanks to mutation beasts,” Ling Mo instantly understood. In fact, this was similar to his previous thinking. The difference was, Ling Mo had avoided this phenomenon. Except for Senior Sister, he rarely let Xia Na and the others consume mutation beast Gel.

“Zombies don’t care about their form at all, as long as they get stronger,” Ling Mo thought.

“But although this method can’t be used on Xia Na and the others, it can be used on other Zombie Puppets. If I can cultivate one or two…”

“Hehehe… That’s good, that’s good.” Old Gou suddenly grabbed the Zombie Puppet, took a deep breath of its scent, and said, “After I eat you, maybe I’ll evolve a little more. Being eaten by such a powerful zombie like me, you must be very happy. If you can smile, my meal will be even more enjoyable.”

After speaking, it glanced past the Zombie Puppet at the Giant Zombie rampaging below: “It’s still too early for you to attack it. That’s our Titan…”

“Titan? Didn’t expect you guys to be so cultured,” Ling Mo suddenly said.

This made Old Gou, who was about to bite his neck, freeze for a moment. But soon he realized that the Zombie Puppet in front of him was visibly turning into… an idiot.

“No… No!” Old Gou stared blankly, then suddenly tore open the Zombie Puppet’s body, roaring, “Why is it empty, why is it empty!”

But at the same time, an even louder commotion caught its attention…

“Titan” suddenly let out a furious roar, then staggered a few steps. After stomping a few zombies to death, it suddenly widened its eyes and crashed to the ground.

Although it quickly tried to get up, a horde of zombies had already pounced on it.

“Roar!”

“Titan” let out a deafening howl, struggling desperately.

“What’s going on?!” Old Gou, covered in blood, looked at “Titan,” then at the corpse beneath his feet, and suddenly understood something.

“Ah! Ahhh!” Old Gou howled in rage.

At this moment, a zombie stood up from the grass on the opposite side of the Parking Lot, forcing a stiff smile onto its face.

“I told you there was Number 1 at the observation deck… Of course, there’s also No.2 and Number Three… Hmm, even four, five, six exist.”

But after muttering to itself, it shook its head: “Too bad, only Number Three is left.”

Bringing down that “Titan” was no easy feat.

Of course, what Ling Mo regretted most was… failing to control it.

“That Snake Tail from before was the same… Could it be that the reason for the control issues is that they were cultivated?” Ling Mo thought about it and felt it was very likely.

These variation zombies aren’t particularly intelligent, especially “Titan,” who’s basically at toddler level. Such zombies are easily influenced by instinct and rarely cooperate with other zombies, let alone become henchmen.

But during the cultivation period, “Snake Tail” could obediently stay near the Parking Lot, and “Titan” showed the qualities of a competent henchman. That’s not normal.

“There must be something crucial in their cultivation process.” Ling Mo controlled Number Three to look at Old Gou again.

“Damn it! Damn it!” Old Gou kept roaring in anger.

He hadn’t expected to be tricked by a little guy, which made Old Gou furious.

He glanced at “Titan” below, then suddenly spread his arms wide.

This was also the first time Ling Mo saw its flying form… This Monster’s body was thin and small, but its speed was outrageous. It had just spread its arms one second, and the next, it was already above the zombie horde below.

“Roar!”

Two seconds later, “Titan” staggered to its feet. One of its eyes had been chewed to a pulp, and its whole body was covered in blood. But as it swept a fist across the ground, Ling Mo sighed.

This thing’s vitality was just too strong…

Meanwhile, another hunched figure had already appeared on the other side of the street.

It had just taken a few steps forward when it suddenly stopped.

“Come out.”

The hunched figure pressed down its voice and spoke in a low tone.
