Chapter 196 – The Friends Were Stunned

Although Stella did not say it outright, everyone present showed a hint of understanding on their faces.

Only Meng Jiayu remained clueless. However, after she frowned and pondered for a moment, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief as she looked at Ling Mo.

“This is really hard to explain…”

Ling Mo felt a headache coming on but didn’t think it wise to offer an explanation. He decided to pretend he hadn’t seen Meng Jiayu’s gaze.

At this moment, Old Wang dragged Zhang Teng and Mo Da Hai out. Ling Mo squatted in front of Zhang Teng, then reached out to dip his fingers into the blood flowing from Zhang Teng and brought it to his nose to smell.

A faint scent could be detected, but it was definitely there.

It seemed that the virus concentration in his body was higher than that of Zhang Haoyu, otherwise, Ling Mo wouldn’t have been able to notice it.

To Ling Mo, the smell of the virus was very familiar and intense. Of course, he was probably the only human who found the virus aroma sweet.

“You certainly have the virus inside you. Tell me, what are you people raising those monsters for?” Ling Mo stared at him and asked.

By this time, Zhang Teng had recovered from his shock. He fixed his eyes on Ling Mo and then showed a bitter expression, “I am going to mutate soon. What good is it for me to tell you now?”

“Don’t you still have your friend here? Aren’t you going to leave him some kind of legacy?” Ling Mo glanced in Mo Da Hai’s direction, and the latter forced a smile.

“Heh heh…” Zhang Teng sneered, and blood immediately trickled from the corner of his mouth. “Do you think I would care about my companions? Isn’t it better that someone accompanies me on the road to death?”

However, under Ling Mo’s watchful eyes, Zhang Teng’s eyes gradually turned red.

He suddenly struggled to prop himself up and grabbed Ling Mo’s sleeve, “Can you promise me one thing?”

“Tell me first. I’m just curious; I don’t necessarily need to know.” Ling Mo replied unemotionally.

Zhang Teng was taken aback, then he laughed, “No, you’ll certainly be interested. Because you are also curious why a normal person like me has lasted so long and hasn’t died yet.”

Ling Mo felt an urge to punch the man because he had guessed correctly.

He was indeed very curious since he was interested in those venoms as well. But how to dilute them most effectively?

Think about it—Ye Lian and the three girls’ saliva was diluted through their own bodies.

So Ling Mo didn’t think he could simply use a bottle of water to dilute the virus.

“Alright, go ahead.”

Zhang Teng’s eyes immediately lit up. He shakily fumbled in his pocket and finally pulled out a crumpled piece of paper, handing it over to Ling Mo. “This is my home address. Go check it out.”

“My son is there. I’ve always believed that he’s still alive. You guys have the ability to cross cities, right?” Zhang Teng said urgently, his grip on Ling Mo’s sleeve tightening.

Ling Mo was taken aback for a moment, then he put the piece of paper in his pocket. “I’ll try. But before that, I need to hear if what you’re saying is worth it.”

Ling Mo felt a bit touched by Zhang Teng’s display of fatherly love.

Otherwise, Ling Mo could’ve just taken the trouble to inquire from Mo Da Hai again. After all, Zhang Teng was not the only one who knew the details.

Still, being touched didn’t mean that Zhang Teng’s role as Zhao Zhi’s accomplice could be forgiven immediately.

For some reason, even though Ling Mo hadn’t agreed to the request outright, Zhang Teng looked at him deeply and then revealed a relieved smile.

“Alright, I’ll tell you. Besides, Mo Da Hai isn’t all that bad… though I guess I don’t have the right to plead for leniency…” Zhang Teng chuckled self-deprecatingly, and then he began to disclose Zhao Zhi’s plans and the events that had unfolded to Ling Mo.

When Ling Mo heard that they had enhanced their physical abilities by consuming diluted versions of the medication over a long period, he couldn’t help but feel tempted.

Would it work on himself? But on second thought, wasn’t he already in a similar situation? Compared to him, Zhang Teng and the others seemed to be taking shortcuts.

And given the short timeframe, the side effects weren’t yet apparent…

“Anyway, I’ll get some of the virus first and then slowly figure out a method to test it. Accelerating wound healing would be great!”

Ling Mo glanced at his own shoulder and thought.

Stella stood at the back, utterly stunned. She had been kept in the dark about all of this. She only knew that Zhao Zhi wanted to develop a way to use the Virus, but she had no idea they had already put it into practice!

“Alright, where are these medications you mentioned?” Ling Mo quickly asked, seeing that Zhang Teng was beginning to breathe heavily, his eyes turning bloodshot.

“Lab… Lab 8… Remember, my son… Ah!” Zhang Teng’s body suddenly stiffened, his pupils dilated, and he began to scream incoherently.

Everyone instinctively backed away in panic, as it felt like something was about to burst out of Zhang Teng’s body.

At that moment, a cold flash of light swept down in front of Ling Mo.

“Thud!”

The sound of blade meeting flesh reverberated. Ling Mo was momentarily stunned before he slowly lifted his head.

Xia Na was standing slightly behind Zhang Teng with a Scythe in hand, smiling at Ling Mo. “Let’s go, Ling-Ge. Let’s go find that Tentacle Monster!”

“Why are you so excited…” Ling Mo muttered as he slowly lowered his head to look at the still-dripping, bloodied blade.

The weapon had pierced through Zhang Teng from behind, stopping just between Ling Mo’s legs with its crescent-shaped tip!

Although Xia Na had been precise, stopping the blade a good ten centimeters from his dick, it was still too close for comfort! As his girlfriend, how could she continuously ignore the importance of his dick?

The previous pinching and kneading could be overlooked… After all, the pain brought some pleasure. But now, things had escalated…

Someday, she would learn that his dick was a very important asset! Its role was irreplaceable!

Yet, Ling Mo still felt scared for himself and his dick.

“Xia Na, just you wait…” Ling Mo began to say through gritted teeth when Ye Lian’s head popped out from behind Xia Na, softly reminding him, “Ling-Ge, your wound… it might take a long time to heal.”

“…”

Ling Mo was speechless, but then he thought of Li Yalin.

Li Yalin pinning his hands, Ye Lian pinning his feet, while he managed with one hand?

It actually seemed pretty feasible…

Zhang Teng’s death was expected, so aside from Stella and Mo Da Hai giving him a second glance, everyone else remained indifferent.

The experience of being chased by a variation zombie wasn’t pleasant, so their attitudes were understandable.

As for Mo Da Hai, he had once given Ling Mo a warning. Ling Mo decided to let him fend for himself.

“Alright, we’re heading down.”

“Be careful.”

Ling Mo entered the elevator with Ye Lian and the three girls, and just as the doors were about to close, Stella suddenly squeezed in.

“What are you doing?” Ling Mo asked, puzzled.

Unfortunately, the elevator doors had already closed, otherwise, Ling Mo might have thrown the foreign girl out.

She had ruined her own image earlier, and now she dared to be alone with him…

Sticking out her chest, Stella said excitedly, “I… I don’t believe it. I have to go and see for myself.”

Persistent, aren’t you? After everything, what’s there not to believe?

“When we get to B3, you can go back up on your own,” Ling Mo sighed.

But Stella leaned closer. “No, please let me follow you. I just need to confirm something!”

“You’re not afraid of the Spider Queen? She might not be dead. She could be fully fed and just waiting for us to show up to help her digest,” Ling Mo said, stepping back instinctively. Although Stella was relatively petite, her chest was indeed quite large.

Ye Lian seemed to notice this as well. She puffed out her chest and gave Stella a cold glance.

Her underlying message was clear: “Looking for a power comparison? I’m not weak either!”

But Stella misunderstood Ye Lian’s intentions. Realizing she was perhaps too close to Ling Mo, she awkwardly stepped back two paces.

It was common to see face-offs, but a chest-off was a first.

Despite the foreign girl’s larger bust, Ye Lian, thanks to Ling Mo’s relentless efforts, didn’t seem to lag far behind in that department…

Ling Mo thought to himself that his guidance was indeed effective. Such a situation was a rare sight…

“Suit yourself, but if we run into danger, I’ll throw you out. With all that flesh, the Spider Queen would definitely be more interested in you,” Ling Mo smiled as he said this.

“What… What?” Stella’s face first turned pale, then flushed red. “I… I am not fat! And you can’t use me as bait!”

Xia Na silently stepped forward. Having constantly been in battle and continuously evolving, her slender frame was actually packed with explosive power.

Stella, on the other hand, was slightly more on the voluptuous side. With Xia Na standing next to her, Stella immediately showed a hint of embarrassment.

Ling Mo thought to himself how sly Xia Na was. She didn’t step forward during the chest-off, but now that it was a comparison of skinniness, she used her lean figure to intimidate Stella with her petite frame…

“Ding.”

The elevator doors opened. Xia Na turned her head slightly and gave Stella a smile. “She’ll definitely eat you first.”
