Chapter 201 – The Most Critical Step

“It’s starting.”

Ling Mo stared into Xia Na’s eyes and whispered.

At this moment, his invisible tentacles had completely wrapped around Xia Na’s Psychic Light Cluster. After saying this, the tentacles began to probe into the interior of the Psychic Light Cluster bit by bit.

It was like trying to force a way into a mass of gel, feeling immense resistance with every inch of progress.

Xia Na did not actively resist; on the contrary, she was trying hard to relax her mind.

Meeting Ling Mo’s gaze seemed to bring Xia Na a lot of comfort.

After all, whether human or zombie, no one would find the invasion of their Psychic Realm a pleasant experience.

In fact, Ling Mo could have taken a more direct approach by issuing commands through their Psychic Link or forcibly stirring her Psychic Light Cluster.

However, that would be too dangerous for Xia Na. Ling Mo was willing to expend his mental energy slowly rather than do anything potentially harmful to her.

“Ah…”

Xia Na’s brows slowly furrowed, her eyes began to turn red immediately, her fists clenched tightly, and her body tensed up.

Stimulated by the tentacles, Xia Na’s Psychic Light Cluster began to react intensely!

This was as stimulating for Xia Na as it was for Ling Mo!

He instantly felt waves of stabbing pain in his mind, as if the Psychic Tentacles could be thrown off at any moment, or even torn apart inside.

“Whoo!”

Ling Mo took deep breaths, trying to keep himself calm.

At this moment, a cold, smooth hand reached over from the side and grabbed Ling Mo.

Ye Lian could vaguely sense Xia Na’s state and Ling Mo’s struggle.

Her way of expressing emotions was becoming increasingly human-like, which filled Ling Mo with even more confidence.

Stimulating Xia Na’s Psychic Activity to provoke the Viral Hive… this was just Ling Mo’s hypothesis. He wasn’t sure if it would succeed.

But to make them stronger and safer by his side, accelerating their improvement was necessary.

At the moment, Ye Lian and the three girls had reached an advanced level among zombie groups, but it still wasn’t enough…

“So uncomfortable… so many things…”

Xia Na shook her head slowly and said.

She could barely control herself from rejecting Ling Mo’s Psychic Tentacles, but it was clear she couldn’t hold on much longer.

The Psychic Light Cluster was continuously stirred by Ling Mo, with various memories flashing like shadows before Xia Na’s eyes.

This sensation was far from pleasant…

“Hold on a bit longer,” Ling Mo gritted his teeth and said.

At this moment, Xia Na’s Psychic Fluctuation seemed to have reached its limit. Just as her pupils suddenly contracted, Ling Mo felt it!

A powerful aura suddenly burst forth from within her!

It was similar to the aura he had sensed when facing the Leader-Level Zombie Ban Yue!

Although Xia Na’s blood-red eyes had not changed, as soon as her gaze met Ling Mo’s, he felt as if he had entered a freezing chamber, with his sweat instantly turning to ice.

Ling Mo was immediately overjoyed!

Sure enough, the Viral Hive had been fully stimulated. The virus concentration within Xia Na might have reached an unprecedented level in an instant.

The higher the virus’s purity, the greater the changes it brought to Xia Na, and the stronger she would become!

For zombies, an increase in virus purity meant their own evolution.

However, at this moment, Xia Na finally couldn’t hold on any longer and let out a low growl.

“Ah!”

The Psychic Tentacles were all ejected, except for the one that had established a long-term Psychic Link with her.

She suddenly lunged forward, pressing her hand against Ling Mo’s chest and pinning him down on the bed.

Xia Na’s long hair draped down on either side, and in the shadows, only her blood-red eyes could be seen staring intently at him.

A dizzy Ling Mo, just regaining his senses, saw Xia Na pressing down on him.

Ye Lian, standing to the side, was stunned, seemingly unsure of how to respond to this situation.

The stimulation Xia Na had received was too intense. Coupled with the prolonged suppression, the sudden outburst seemed to have caused her to lose her rationality instantly.

At this moment, Xia Na was sitting on Ling Mo’s abdomen, her hands pressing down on his chest.

The immense force made Ling Mo unable to move, and those small hands felt like iron clamps. Ling Mo could even feel her slightly curved fingers ready to tear him apart at any moment.

“Ling… Ling-Ge…”

Xia Na murmured indistinctly. She was still fighting desperately against the rationality that was driving her mad. The more she resisted, the more her mother hive was stimulated.

Ling Mo suddenly understood something. Perhaps, at the level of Advanced Zombies, most zombies would start to think about who they really were and what memories they had, just like Li Yalin did.

However, their instincts suppressed these thoughts. Only zombies who constantly engaged in this introspection would battle against their instincts in the process.

This was one of the ways to accelerate their evolution. Li Yalin’s ability to reach a higher level was likely one of the reasons.

As for Ye Lian and Xia Na, since they were always by Ling Mo’s side, they had actually been spared this process…

With Ling Mo’s help, their evolution had been rapid, but this had also inadvertently limited them later on.

It was quite a bittersweet realization…

But Ling Mo was, after all, human and had no relevant knowledge.

If it weren’t for the trip to the Biological Research Institute this time, he might have taken longer to discover this pattern.

“Thud.”

Xia Na finally passed out completely, falling into Ling Mo’s arms, who caught her just in time.

But passing out didn’t mean Xia Na’s Psychic Activity had stopped; in fact, it had become even more intense.

Her body was trembling slightly. Although she frowned, due to the continuous production of the Virus in her body, she looked fine.

Affected by this, Ling Mo felt his own Psychic Realm churning.

He took Ye Lian’s hand and, feeling somewhat weak, said, “Ye Lian, once I recover, I’ll be able to help you improve.”

Ye Lian looked at Ling Mo with a puzzled expression, then nodded.

“Don’t… worry, I’ll make sure no one comes in…”

“So smart, you don’t even need me to say it…” Ling Mo smiled happily, but his voice grew weaker, and his eyelids became heavier.

Ling Mo didn’t know how long he had slept before he slowly woke up.

In a haze, he felt a pair of cool lips pressing against his cheek, gradually moving over to his mouth.

A tongue gently licked Ling Mo’s lips, providing some relief to his parched mouth.

“Water…”

His throat felt like it was on fire, and Ling Mo eagerly drew the tongue into his mouth.

Saliva flowed into Ling Mo’s mouth, coolly sliding down his throat and into his body.

Heat rose from his abdomen, quickly spreading throughout his limbs, which gradually began to regain strength.

“Mm…”

Ling Mo slowly opened his eyes. Right in front of him was Li Yalin’s face, her features strikingly sharp like those of a mixed-race beauty, her red eyes staring intently at him.

“Stealing a kiss while I’m asleep?”

Ling Mo couldn’t help but slap his Senior Sister’s butt, pulling her tightly into his embrace.

Looking into Li Yalin’s eyes, it seemed she hadn’t completely broken through, but after another look, Ling Mo noticed her Psychic Fluctuation was extremely intense, and her gaze seemed filled with a certain longing.

Judging by the feel of it, about a day and a night had passed, and Ye Lian and Xia Na were nowhere in the room.

With Li Yalin entwined around him like a beautiful snake, Ling Mo felt that the earlier surge of heat was gathering in his lower abdomen once again.

“Ahem, Senior Sister, what are you trying to do…”

“Just a bit more… just a bit more…”

Li Yalin’s arms wrapped agilely around Ling Mo’s neck, her cheek rubbing against his neck.

Just a bit more? Close to a breakthrough?

Ling Mo stared into Li Yalin’s eyes for a few moments, noticing that her pupils seemed to have an amber ring around them.

But the amber ring wasn’t clear enough, and Ling Mo was still a bit dizzy…

“Almost is a pity, but Senior Sister, you need to let go of me first…”

“Rip!”

Just as Ling Mo tried to sit up, Li Yalin pushed him back down, simultaneously tearing open his pants.

“Hey!”

Li Yalin ignored Ling Mo’s protests and kissed him again, her body writhing against his.

Her body was very cool, but Ling Mo could feel the blood surging within her!

Could it be that the venom was still acting? Maybe she couldn’t fully activate the viral hive on her own?

After all, reaching Leader-Level wasn’t easy…

While Ling Mo’s mind was still a chaotic mess, Li Yalin quickly stripped off her clothes.

Just after waking up, he found himself in this compromising situation, and Ye Lian and Xia Na were nowhere to be found.

He thought about using the psychic link to call for help, but firstly, those two girls might not save him, and secondly… they were still in someone else’s base. If something awkward happened, especially in this situation, he would definitely want to bang his head against the wall.

“Senior Sister, it seems your learning ability is quite strong…”

Ling Mo watched in shock as Li Yalin pulled out a roll of cling film…

“No, no, we don’t need that…” Ling Mo pointed to his backpack, “Condoms are in there.”

Back at the shopping mall, Ling Mo had secretly slipped a box of condoms into his backpack.

In regular supermarkets, these were actually hard to find鈥”either they were crushed, buried under piles of goods, or mingled with rotting meat.

Washing them clean was an option, but it required a lot of psychological tolerance. Ling Mo wasn’t that desperate yet.

He found this particular box by accidentally stepping on it…

The first one he took out was torn by Li Yalin due to her excessive force…

“Rip!” Torn…

“Ah! It snapped at me!”

Another one ruined…

Li Yalin, still pressing down on him, wouldn’t let go, so Ling Mo could only watch helplessly as the precious box of condoms dwindled to the last one!

“My condoms…”

Luckily, they managed to get the last one sorted out, and Li Yalin impatiently pounced on Ling Mo.

At this moment, Li Yalin was in an extremely excited state. The fact that she could restrain herself from devouring Ling Mo was already a testament to her considerable self-control.

However, the more anxious she was, the more she fumbled with the correct way to have sex.

Seeing her growing frustration and increasingly reddening eyes, Ling Mo had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

“Since you’re the one assaulting me… you have to put in the effort yourself!”

Ling Mo let out a long sigh and said.

But just as Ling Mo suspected, Li Yalin’s hymen had healed again. However, for some reason, there was no blood…

This was beyond Ling Mo’s expectations. He quickly checked and found that it wasn’t because he had taken her virginity a second time.

Instead, she could automatically expand it, like a snake’s mouth…

This ability was incredible!

Since there was no bleeding, Ling Mo hurriedly pulled off the condom, freeing his penis.

“Holy crap… Just like a snake…”

Li Yalin’s body was incredibly flexible. It was hard to imagine she possessed such immense strength while being able to move her entire body as freely as a contortionist.

Although being assaulted left Ling Mo somewhat irritated internally, the physical sensation was… unbelievably amazing!!

Li Yalin’s body seemed extremely sensitive. Each time she reached a peak of pleasure, her psychic fluctuation intensified, stimulating her viral hive to produce more viruses, which merged with the venom.

Ling Mo could even clearly see the amber hue in Li Yalin’s eyes becoming more pronounced.

Indeed, she was just a step away… Senior Sister needed external stimulation to fully enhance herself, and the best kind was naturally a combination of physiological and psychological stimuli!

That meant, having sex!

This was the most crucial step for her enhancement!
