Chapter 1349 – Eat My Cannon!

While Ling Mo was deep in thought, that Cocoon had already drained all the corpses, and even the Flying Zombie was sucked dry until only a layer of skin remained. Then it shot out a tentacle, which suddenly swelled to the thickness of a utility pole and swallowed the Flying Zombie whole. Soon after, another vaguely human-shaped bulge appeared on the surface of the Cocoon; judging by the wings, it was clearly the Flying Zombie from just now.

This scene made Ling Mo’s scalp tingle. If he had to say, this Cocoon was the real Monster he’d seen so far. It had absolutely no Intelligence, acted purely on simple instinct, yet possessed such bizarre abilities. Its appearance also didn’t seem to match any known Creature; at least Ling Mo had never seen anything like it. Not just him-even Xia Na and the other Zombies said they’d never seen one like this.

Ye Lian opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t speak. She sneaked a glance at Ling Mo and found his brows slightly furrowed, his attention not shifting to the main body’s real environment. After confirming this, she suddenly showed an expression of extreme shock.

She was thinking! And ever since she’d entered her confused state, this kind of expression had never appeared in such a situation! Even in other circumstances, her reactions were mostly along the lines of: “Can I eat it?”

But now her big eyes darted around, obviously lively and alert-definitely not the look she’d have when pondering something as simple as whether it was edible.

However, just like before, Ling Mo didn’t notice this. After Ye Lian thought for a moment, she returned to her previous state…

The Cocoon had drained the Flying Zombie. The tentacles all retracted, and the lanky zombie jumped down from the Cocoon.

He had been standing among those tentacles, watching as the Flying Zombie sacrificed its life.

This was actually one of the things that shocked Ling Mo… All actions of Zombies were for their own evolution-when did they ever know how to sacrifice themselves?

But thinking further, this was probably also because of the Cocoon. Besides, the Zombies of Central City had already formed a sharply hierarchical collective, no longer the usual kind of Zombies.

If you tried to predict their behavior by the standards of common zombies, you’d probably end up with unexpected deviations.

So Ling Mo stopped thinking about it for now; he wanted to see what this Central City Zombie and the Cocoon planned to do next, and wait for an opportunity.

After landing, the lanky zombie didn’t even glance at the entrance-clearly, a single mutation beast couldn’t interest him. Even the mutation beast snatching corpses just now seemed normal to him… just fighting over food. He wouldn’t bother with it now; soon enough, it would suffer too.

In terms of evolution level, the lanky zombie wasn’t as advanced as the Flying Zombie, but aside from high Intelligence, he seemed to have something special.

After stroking the Cocoon for a while, he closed his eyes, as if Sensing something.

A few seconds later, the Cocoon moved again.

It began to squirm.

The Cocoon moved like an organ, and its writhing was extremely eerie. Even stranger, its tentacles started moving again, and all of them burrowed into the lanky zombie’s mouth and nose.

Very quickly, Ling Mo noticed the Cocoon’s movements became rhythmic…

His scalp tingled, and he immediately thought of the seed on his heart.

Sure enough, his guess was right-there was something similar between the Cocoon and the seed.

But the Cocoon didn’t seem to have fused with the lanky zombie; rather, it was under the lanky zombie’s Control.

Once connected to the lanky zombie, its body began to contract like a heart. Soon, a large amount of black-red Liquid was injected into the lanky zombie’s body through the tentacles.

The lanky zombie immediately let out a series of “Hoh hoh” strange noises from his throat, his whole body trembling violently.

Not good! Ling Mo suddenly had an extremely bad feeling.

That sense of danger had always been there, but seeing the lanky zombie receive that virus Liquid, it instantly peaked.

He absolutely couldn’t let this continue!

But there were still many tentacles around the Cocoon, and even though the lanky zombie seemed absorbed, Xiao Bai’s instincts told it that if it got close, it would definitely be attacked immediately.

What to do?!

In the blink of an eye, the Cocoon had already shrunk by half, and the lanky zombie’s body had swelled as well.

He was already about 1.8 meters tall, but now he’d shot up to over 2 meters, and his muscles bulged all over. Most crucially, two protrusions appeared on his back, constantly writhing as if something was hidden inside.

Crack!

The lanky zombie’s fingernails suddenly snapped open and instantly grew to nearly half a meter long.

Ling Mo’s eyelid twitched-could you still call those fingernails?!

But he immediately realized: this was accelerated evolution, and the lanky zombie was also undergoing various variations.

All that virus had been fused into the Cocoon, then injected into the lanky zombie after being Devoured.

That had to be it!

But there was still one last question: what was the point?

Creating a terrifying zombie-could that really take all of X City?

Impossible, because there was still the Spider Queen and human Survivors. So what was he planning?

But whatever his scheme, Ling Mo had to act.

He observed for a while, then finally took the risk and entered the hall again.

The mutation panda’s shrunken form was inconspicuous, but in the hall where bizarre changes were happening, it was still a variable.

Incredibly, the lanky zombie, even while evolving, spared a glance at Xiao Bai. This little mutation beast-wasn’t it scared off by his aura?

He even couldn’t help but have a ridiculous thought: could this little thing be thinking of eating him?

It was actually possible-the panda was twisting its butt and tilting its head at him, as if hesitating whether to come over and take a bite.

Come on, come on. He didn’t want to waste time dealing with it, but if it came over on its own, he’d just take care of it.

But just as the lanky zombie thought this, he suddenly felt something stab into his mind, making his head spin for a moment.

Psychic attack?! Impossible! This mutation beast’s psychic strength was only so-so-how could it do this?!

The lanky zombie was completely unprepared for this move, but he quickly opened his eyes, only to see something that made his pupils contract.

The little panda was gone, replaced by a giant beast the size of a small truck.

It let out a low roar and charged straight at the Cocoon!

Impossible! The lanky zombie screamed in his heart a second time.

The Cocoon was bizarre, but it didn’t emit any scent that would attract mutation creatures, and it wasn’t food-this was a ramming attack!

But now, it was too late. The mutation beast was fast, and the force of its charge seemed to unleash all its potential, like a cannonball…

“Bang!”

After a huge muffled boom, the lanky zombie immediately felt himself lifted into the air, clearly knocked out of the building along with the Cocoon!

A mistake-should’ve set this up on the first floor… In that instant, the lanky zombie thought of this.

But placing the scene in the middle of the building was to keep the scent of blood from spreading outside, and even if it did, it would dissipate in midair. But now, this precaution had become a self-made trap.

“Damn mutation beast! Where the hell did it come from!” The lanky zombie and the Cocoon plummeted together, cursing uncontrollably.

“MeGu!”

In the hall, after a successful charge, Xiao Bai instantly shrank back to little panda form, its fur already stained red with blood.

The Cocoon was like a hedgehog-even though Xiao Bai had only knocked it out, it was still badly injured, and its stamina was heavily depleted.

Inside Miracle Base, Ling Mo’s face also went pale.

He’d thought his psychic power was enough, but just to seize a single opportunity, he’d instantly burned through so much energy…

That lanky zombie was no joke!

Even falling like this might not kill him. Ling Mo quickly pulled himself together and Controlled Xiao Bai to run to where the Cocoon had been knocked out.

The Cocoon had been rooted to this floor, so when it was knocked out, it must have been forcibly ripped out-there had to be something left behind, right?
