Chapter 1348 – Brother, You’re Bleeding a Lot!
Bleeding a lot!
Ling Mo’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly sensing that things might not be so simple.
He had thought this was just a temporary gathering place for Central City’s Zombies, but now it seemed much more complicated!
Thinking of this, Ling Mo quickly had Xiao Bai roll around in the pool of blood, then, doubling his caution, sneaked inside the door.
As soon as he entered, Ling Mo locked eyes with a pair of eyes, nearly scaring him out of his wits.
But after jumping up, Ling Mo realized-damn, this was Xiao Bai’s perspective.
Pandas really do see people from below!
Those eyes belonged to a corpse, or more accurately, half a corpse. One arm was missing, and its lower body had been gnawed to mush from the abdomen down. Some of the blood flowing out was from it.
But this Zombie was just a common zombie. Central City’s Zombies shouldn’t be using it to fill their bellies.
Just as he thought this, Ling Mo heard a chewing sound not far away.
Xiao Bai peeked out and was instantly stunned.
What the hell is that thing?!
A gigantic creature, with many Zombie cocoons strung along its tentacles!
…
“Are you ready?” the tall, thin figure asked.
The Flying Zombie beside him nodded, “Ready.” Then he glanced outside and asked, “A little thing came in. Should I kill it?”
The tall, thin figure replied indifferently, “No need.”
After speaking, he happily lifted his head, “Anyway, soon it’ll be our food. As long as those humans and that Spider don’t come to mess things up, it’s fine. Go ahead.”
His tone was calm, as if the Flying Zombie was just going to do something ordinary.
But after the Flying Zombie nodded, he suddenly spread his arms wide and plunged them into his own abdomen…
The “little thing” they mentioned had no idea it had already been discovered. It was staring blankly at the cocoon, its mind full of doubts.
Damn, how did Central City’s Zombies get this thing here?!
But after observing for a while, Ling Mo suddenly saw a familiar figure inside.
Titan.
But not that Titan, an even bigger one. If he guessed right, it should be one of those seen by Ban Yue and the others.
However, it was no longer a Titan, but a head growing out of the cocoon.
Looking at the cocoon again, it was covered with all sorts of Zombie features…
Ling Mo suddenly understood. The Zombies Central City was raising in X City weren’t just for use as the Vanguard!
They’d all been devoured by this cocoon!
And thinking about what the Spider Queen had done… why did both sides have the same style?
But although Central City’s side was much smaller in scale, it felt even more bizarre.
Just then, the cocoon suddenly began to squirm, and a tentacle shot out, stabbing straight into the corpse in front of Xiao Bai. Then it jerked back sharply.
Xiao Bai’s eyesight was excellent; it watched as the tentacle sucked the corpse dry.
What was it doing now?
Eating those Zombies earlier was probably just filling up, so was this dessert?
This unreliable thought flashed by, because soon Xiao Bai saw another figure.
This figure emerged from the cocoon itself, obviously having been hiding somewhere inside.
Its shape was very similar to a bat, but just looking at its wings, it was clear it was far superior to a bat.
This must be the real Senior Zombie among Central City’s Zombies this time.
But this Monster, who should have been leading the team, now had its abdomen split open, blood spraying as it floated in midair.
A tentacle rose, circled it twice, then suddenly plunged into its abdomen.
Almost visibly, the Flying Zombie’s body began to shrivel.
Ling Mo had a vague sense of foreboding.
Had he miscalculated something?
The Spider Queen had suddenly started moving, the Zombie Alliance was making moves, Miracle Base was on high alert-a war was about to break out, so why were Central City’s Zombies starting to self-destruct?
Ling Mo instinctively felt something was wrong.
While preparing Xiao Bai to escape, he kept a close eye on the cocoon.
As the Flying Zombie was rapidly drained, the cocoon’s tentacles kept “ordering” all around.
Soon, Xiao Bai had retreated to the doorway, and most of the corpses in the hall had been sucked into skeletons.
The tentacles seemed completely unable to sense Xiao Bai, several times sweeping right past its tense form without touching it.
But even so, Ling Mo still felt a strong sense of danger.
“Hm? Is Xiao Bai different from these corpses?” Putting aside their identities, mutation beasts and Zombies are essentially the same: creatures transformed by the virus. So it was normal for Ling Mo to think this way.
Xiao Bai observed stealthily for a while, then suddenly pounced on one of the corpses, tossing it out the door just as a tentacle was about to sweep over.
The tentacle chased after the corpse, but was suddenly sliced off by an invisible Tentacle.
Didn’t catch it.
Xiao Bai nervously watched the half-severed, retracting tentacle, then retreated back to the doorway.
The corpse was right behind it, and from the outside, there was nothing special about it.
But after Ling Mo probed it with his Tentacle, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
The cocoon hadn’t just been eating-it had injected something into the corpse’s internal organs.
Normally, after death, a creature’s body decomposes, but these things inside the corpse changed subtly as it went from living to dead.
They’d been catalyzed.
Ling Mo only discovered this during his probing. Originally, these things filled the corpse’s organs, but he hadn’t noticed-after all, Tentacles don’t have real eyes.
But just as his Tentacle was about to dissipate, he noticed these things actually made the corpse’s organs twitch.
How could a corpse still twitch?! This immediately caught his attention.
So, acting decisively, he tore open the corpse’s organs and found them filled with a Liquid darker than blood, and a strange smell wafted into Xiao Bai’s nose.
Virus!
Ling Mo instantly understood what the cocoon was doing… it was producing and recycling! The virus was injected by it, and then retrieved by it! In this process, the virus must have undergone some special mutation!
Although he didn’t know what these viruses were for, the sense of crisis hung over him like a sharp blade.
He stared at the cocoon, with only one thought in his mind.
This thing… it has to be dealt with…
