Chapter 117 – You Seem Quite Tasty

Wei Junyan’s superpower is evidently related to speed. This kind of ability is highly effective against both zombies and ordinary survivors. However, it is unfortunately countered by Ling Mo.

No matter how fast one is, if their vision or judgment is compromised, their advantage disappears instantly.

Although close combat is not Ling Mo’s forte, he not only has the assistance of Ye Lian and Xia Na, two advanced female zombies, but also controls a dozen zombie puppets.

If Wei Junyan hadn’t decisively severed his arm just now, he would have been torn to pieces by Ling Mo’s zombie puppets.

As he controlled the zombie puppets to return, Ling Mo frowned and turned to look at his shoulder.

Xia Na and Ye Lian both approached. The two female zombies checked Ling Mo’s wound with concern, then Ye Lian said haltingly, “Not… not deep…”

“Just a surface wound.”

Xia Na helped Ling Mo take off his jacket and rolled up his t-shirt to examine the wound.

Through Xia Na’s perspective, Ling Mo clearly saw the extent of his injury. Wei Junyan’s blade had merely grazed his skin, leaving a shallow cut that was not serious at all.

Xia Na extended her finger, gently wiped off the thin trickle of blood from Ling Mo, and then put it into her mouth. “Ling-Ge, your blood is so sweet…”

“Hey, girl, don’t you get any ideas!”

Ling Mo felt a chill on his scalp and quickly turned away to avoid her longing gaze.

It seems that the nature of zombies can’t be changed. Although Xia Na has never tasted human blood or flesh, once she comes into contact with it, she immediately develops a keen interest.

After hearing Ling Mo’s words, she hummed sullenly in agreement, but still reluctantly kept her finger in her mouth.

The taste of human blood is very delicious for zombies…

Thinking about Wei Junyan’s panicked escape, Ling Mo frowned slightly.

Although he only suffered a superficial wound while Wei Junyan received cuts to his arm and back, was forced to jump from a building, and ultimately severed his own arm, Ling Mo still harbored a murderous intent towards him.

This person had just attempted to attack Ye Lian, which violated Ling Mo’s biggest taboo!

Originally, Ling Mo didn’t take direct action, considering that the two sides hadn’t had any direct conflict and it might not be necessary to fight to the death.

But now, Ling Mo realized his thinking was flawed! Even though it was the apocalypse, Ling Mo was still operating by the old standards of conduct, which had forced him into defensive actions several times.

In reality, after acquiring his superpower, he was no longer just an ordinary person. Carrying a lot of food and accompanied by two stunning beauties, Ling Mo appeared to many survivors as a prime target.

Upon arriving at X City University, Ling Mo finally saw these survivors for what they truly were. Life-and-death crises, hunger, and fear had fully awakened the darkness within them.

Superhumans like Wei Junyan were particularly arrogant and cold-blooded!

Although Ling Mo still believed that sticking to his principles was not wrong, when dealing with people like Li Danyang and Wei Junyan, there was no need to treat them as normal people, nor expect them to adhere to any sense of reason.

It was all about who had the stronger fist. Ling Mo believed that his fists were quite formidable. In fact, he was far stronger than Wei Junyan.

It wasn’t Ling Mo who was forced to jump off a building or to sever his own arm—it was Wei Junyan!

Understanding this, Ling Mo’s mood suddenly became intensely charged. That deep-seated frenzy within him seemed to finally awaken.

“Ling-Ge… let me… blow on it for you…”

Seeing Ling Mo frowning, Ye Lian probably thought he was in pain from his injury. After hesitating for a moment, she gently blew on Ling Mo’s wound, as if that would make him feel better.

Smelling the faint scent of blood, her eyes also turned slightly red, clearly finding Ling Mo’s scent quite sweet and triggering her deep-seated primal desires.

However, she knew that this was harmful to Ling Mo, so she quickly stepped back a couple of steps and said with some uncertainty, “Ling-Ge, you… you seem… very tasty…”

The cool sensation from the wound brought Ling Mo back to his senses.

“Silly girl. But I can’t be your food. If you’re hungry, I’ll find you something else to eat later.”

A warm feeling spread through Ling Mo’s heart, and his mood improved significantly. He couldn’t resist patting Ye Lian’s head and teasing her a bit.

However, Ye Lian didn’t really understand his words. She just nodded dumbly and said with some anticipation, “Okay…”

Wounds like this didn’t require much treatment. Ling Mo took out a band-aid, carefully applied it, and then put his clothes back on.

After dealing with his wound, Ling Mo walked over to the corner where the group of girls was resting, his face dark with anger.

The fight had woken the girls, and they had noticed a missing companion, leaving them trembling in fear.

“Do you know Wei Junyan?” Ling Mo asked directly.

Although Wei Junyan had lost an arm, Ling Mo had no intention of letting him go. Losing an arm was just the interest.

After understanding everything, Ling Mo didn’t see his actions as petty revenge but as a necessity to eliminate future threats.

After all, Wei Junyan might hold a grudge for losing an arm. X City was big, but having a superhuman plotting revenge was a troubling prospect for Ling Mo. So, instead of waiting for Wei Junyan to recover and cause trouble, Ling Mo decided to strike while the iron was hot.

The girls shivered for a while before one of them nodded.

Ling Mo thought as much. Given Wei Junyan’s personality, he wouldn’t have bothered to keep secrets from these survivors while discussing plans with Li Danyang.

“Do you know where his base is?” Ling Mo asked the girl who had nodded.

The girl glanced fearfully at Ling Mo and, not daring to lie, said in a low voice, “I think it’s at the swimming pool?”

Swimming pool? Ling Mo was momentarily surprised. He took out the map Lin Luanqiu had drawn. Turning on his flashlight, he quickly found the swimming pool’s location.

To his surprise, the swimming pool was quite close to the A1 Teaching Building.

From this perspective, even if Ling Mo hadn’t encountered Wei Junyan tonight, they would have crossed paths sooner or later. After all, heading to the A1 Teaching Building was part of Ling Mo’s plan. He also intended to find enough virus gel there to feed Ye Lian and Xia Na.

“No need to wait until dawn. If he can travel at night, so can I.”

With zombie puppets clearing the way and an advanced zombie protecting them, Ling Mo had little to worry about. Even if there were many zombies on the road, Wei Junyan had likely drawn them away first, leaving Ling Mo to follow safely behind.

As for the girls, they would have to fend for themselves. If they could muster the courage, they might just be able to survive on their own. With plenty of food to sustain them, they should be able to hold out for a while. By then, they might have discovered their own means of survival.

After nearly half a day’s rest, Ling Mo had recovered his strength and Psychic energy. Once he made up his mind, he led Ye Lian and Xia Na out of the library.

This was Ling Mo’s first time traveling at night, but using the zombie puppets’ vision, he could see everything around him clearly. It didn’t feel much different from daytime.

However, the distant, occasional howls of zombies added a layer of terror to the night.

At night, zombies were much more active than during the day…

Surrounded by zombie puppets, Ling Mo quickly arrived at the spot where Wei Junyan had lost his arm. In the grass, he could clearly see a trail of blood leading off into the distance.

Following the blood trail for a short distance, Ling Mo found a torn sleeve, indicating that Wei Junyan had ripped his clothes to temporarily bandage his wound. The blood trail ended there.

“Too bad I already know where your base is. Hiding your tracks won’t help.”

Ling Mo glanced into the distance and let out a cold laugh.
