Chapter 202 – Trapped in the Restroom

Of course, relying solely on having sex wouldn’t work out. Ling Mo estimated he would end up exhausted like a plow ox.

However, during crucial moments of improvement, having sex indeed worked wonders.

At least, it did for Li Yalin…

As she suddenly tensed up, Ling Mo felt a tremor run through his body.

Her eyes shut tight, and when they opened again, the amber ring in her eyes was vividly clear!

Not only that, but the blood-red veins in the whites of her eyes seemed to be converging towards the center, gradually gathering around her pupils.

The process wasn’t particularly fast, but witnessing it firsthand made Ling Mo extremely excited.

When the whites of her eyes completely returned to a porcelain-like color, it signified that Li Yalin had fully stepped into the Leader-Level.

Her face remained the same—sharp, deep-set, and as sexy and beautiful as a mixed-race model. But her aura had completely transformed.

Cold yet alluring, she was like a true femme fatale. Her eyes now had a faint amber ring. Though they hadn’t turned into slit pupils, staring into them for too long still gave off a chilling, piercing feeling.

What shocked Ling Mo even more was her movement. She pressed her upper body against him, her hips raised high.

The pose was incredibly arousing, and it resembled a snake too much…

Leader-Level… She had indeed advanced to Leader-Level!

Though this Leader-Level seemed a bit unusual… Ban Yue’s eyes were still quite different from Li Yalin’s. The amber ring was too conspicuous, and the more he looked, the more she seemed like a Mutation Beast.

Could it be that the eyes of advanced Mutation Beasts look like this?

As Li Yalin let out a long breath, her state seemed to stabilize.

Thankfully, apart from her skin becoming even smoother, there were no other variations.

Ling Mo, on the other hand, felt that his body had undergone some changes. After all, he had just absorbed a lot of Juices…

His strength was fully restored, and his spirits were slightly lifted as well. When Ling Mo pulled Li Yalin into the restroom to wash up, he felt his body becoming somewhat lighter.

The effects of the Virus…

For zombies, the Virus is the source of their transformation and their everlasting energy supply.

Even for someone like Li Yalin, who had reached Leader-Level, she couldn’t survive solely on the Viral Hive. It wasn’t self-sustaining.

Continuing to devour the Virus was akin to applying lubricant for maintenance, providing additional energy replenishment.

As Ling Mo was using a towel to wipe himself and Li Yalin clean, she suddenly glanced outside.

“Someone’s coming…”

Just as she spoke, there was a knock at the door, followed by a girl’s clear voice: “Ling Mo!”

“Damn!”

Ling Mo’s towel immediately fell to the ground. Both his and Li Yalin’s clothes were still on the bed!

“Ling Mo!”

“Uh, hold on a second…” Ling Mo quickly opened the bathroom door, intending to tell Ouyang Lian to wait, when he heard the sound of the door opening.

“Come… come in.”

That voice was Ye Lian’s…

Ling Mo hurriedly shrunk back and closed the door.

It seemed a few more people followed her in…

“Where’s Ling Mo?” Meng Jiayu asked, sounding puzzled.

Ling Mo peeked through a crack in the door and saw Meng Jiayu holding a few clean clothes鈥”exactly what he had changed out of.

Ye Lian and Xia Na each carried a small piece of cured meat. They must have gone to fetch it.

One of the pieces looked like it had been cut into, probably because the two gluttonous zombie girls had already had a taste.

Although they didn’t need to eat, they still craved meat. They couldn’t eat human flesh or any raw meat, but cured meat was fine…

Besides, meat was also an energy source, though not as potent as Virus Gel…

At this point, Ouyang Lian started walking towards the restroom, glancing around as she approached: “I wonder if Ling Mo’s wound is any better…”

Her words reminded Ling Mo of the injury on his shoulder.

It was hard to tell through the bandage, but he pressed on it and found it still hurt a bit, though it seemed much better.

Earlier, when he was with Li Yalin, the Juices he absorbed seemed to have kept the wound warm…

Could Li Yalin’s Juices have the same effect as the Virus in the Spider Queen’s body? If so, that would be great.

Even if not, taking some medicine later would help the wound heal, so it wasn’t a big deal.

Seeing Ouyang Lian getting closer to the restroom, Ling Mo grew increasingly anxious. However, the little girl probably wouldn’t just open the door out of nowhere.

“Hey, Ling Mo’s clothes… and Li Yalin’s clothes, why are they all here?”

Meng Jiayu sounded puzzled. She even reached out to touch the blanket, “It’s still warm.”

Do you have to be so observant, Jia Yu…

At this moment, Li Yalin pressed herself against Ling Mo again and asked, “Why aren’t we going out?”

“Because we’re not dressed, and your eyes… you better revert them to normal quickly…”

Ling Mo said, frustrated, as he smacked his forehead.

Li Yalin gave an “Oh” and turned to pick up a towel. However, she accidentally bumped into a metal bucket.

Though she didn’t knock it over, it made a soft “clang” sound.

Everyone in the room instantly focused their attention on the restroom door.

When Ling Mo met Ye Lian and Xia Na’s gaze, he knew they had figured it out when they entered, but they didn’t expose him.

That was a relief, but why didn’t they try to divert Meng Jiayu and Ouyang Lian?

“Ling Mo!”

Ouyang Lian excitedly ran over to knock on the restroom door, and Ling Mo had no choice but to respond from inside, “Um… Ling Mo is…”

“He’s peeing!” Xia Na finally thought of helping Ling Mo out, shouting loudly.

Ling Mo suddenly wanted to hit his head against the wall, but this was still better than saying he was doing something else…

“Oh, um, take your time, Ling Mo…”

Meng Jiayu said, feeling embarrassed.

But what no one expected was that at this moment, Li Yalin’s voice suddenly came from the restroom, “I’m peeing too!”

“That explanation was unnecessary!”

If there was a hole to crawl into, Ling Mo would definitely do so.

Outside the restroom, Ouyang Lian didn’t react much, but Meng Jiayu’s face turned bright red.

Thinking back to the sound of the bucket being hit… were they taking a bath together?

“I’ll leave the clean clothes here. Lian Lian, come on, let’s go downstairs. Um… Li Yalin, tell Ling Mo to come down for dinner later. Since he’s awake, he should eat something good, we’re making soup tonight.”

Meng Jiayu hurriedly dragged Ouyang Lian away, almost fleeing from Ling Mo’s room. Even as they descended the stairs, she felt her cheeks burning and her heart racing.

When they bumped into 2 on the way, he looked at Meng Jiayu with interest, then glanced up the stairs before asking mysteriously, “Did you discover something?”

“Nothing at all!” Meng Jiayu’s mind involuntarily conjured up a vivid and embarrassing image. She quickly shook her head, speaking as she dragged Ouyang Lian away.

Though it was awkward to stumble upon such a situation, what embarrassed Meng Jiayu more was that her first reaction was to imagine that scene…

Watching Meng Jiayu practically run away, 2 turned his gaze back upstairs, a regretful look on his face: “You could’ve easily approached the monsters… I mean, Ling Mo’s room, and you didn’t take the chance to peek…”

Just then, Ling Mo and Li Yalin emerged from the restroom, one after the other. His first instinct was to get dressed, but his eyes were involuntarily drawn to Xia Na.

“Xia Na, you…”

As soon as Ling Mo spoke, he saw Xia Na’s eyes starting to change.

First, a red dot appeared in the center of her pupils, gradually spreading until her entire iris was red, leaving only the whites unchanged.

Staring into those eyes, Ling Mo felt a sudden sense of daze. If not for his partially recovered Psychic Power, he might have been stunned on the spot.

“This is…” Once Xia Na’s eyes returned to normal, Ling Mo excitedly rushed over and grabbed her, “Leader-Level!”

Xia Na’s lips curled into a slight smile. For some reason, she felt different to Ling Mo at that moment.

After her eyes had changed, in that brief moment, Ling Mo seemed to see the Xia Na he first met.

Strong, serious, with a confident and proud smile on her lips…

“Xia Na… have you fully leveled up?!”
