Chapter 214 – Some Things Just Can’t Grow Back, No Matter How Hard You Try

After taking down a dozen zombies in a row, Ling Mo and his group finally reached the stairwell.

However, there lay a freshly torn-apart corpse, which, judging by the face, had also been a zombie here.

Frowning, Ling Mo squatted down to take a closer look and then examined the surrounding area. Sure enough, he found another almost completely devoured corpse in a corner.

Covering his nose, Ling Mo squatted down and turned on his flashlight, carefully examining a bone.

Logically speaking, Yu Shiran and Ban Yue wouldn’t eat so messily…

Moreover, as Senior Zombies, they usually prioritized eating brains, even when it came to regular zombies.

There is a chance that low-quality Gel can appear in the brains of regular zombies. Even if it hasn’t formed, the brain still contains more Virus compared to other body parts.

As for eating flesh… that depends on the kind of meat.

The flesh of regular zombies also contains Virus, just less than the brain. Human flesh, on the other hand, is probably appealing to zombies because it tastes the sweetest and most delicious.

But this kind of pure gluttony shouldn’t result in such a bloody mess.

“Did you and Ban Yue eat this?” Ling Mo turned and asked.

Yu Shiran just glared at him, saying nothing.

Ling Mo moved the flashlight away from the bone and let out a cold laugh. “Looks like you have a Mutation Beast as a neighbor. Even though you’re a zombie, only your teeth’s hardness and bite force have increased, not their shape. These marks couldn’t have been made by you.”

Yu Shiran’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“What are you staring at? Look down on humans, will you…”

Ling Mo casually flicked Yu Shiran’s forehead. She immediately shrank back and glared at Ling Mo with furrowed brows.

Though Yu Shiran looked incredibly furious, Ling Mo found it quite amusing.

It turns out, once zombies regain their reasoning, certain characteristics get infinitely magnified. For Yu Shiran, it was clearly her daftness…

How could she not be daft? She sold out her teammate! Ban Yue was totally sold out by her…

Not sure why, but Ling Mo felt increasingly hot, and his nose was filled with the scent of that perfume.

“Could it have expired? Is this what scent poisoning feels like?” Ling Mo thought, frustrated.

If he had known this would happen, he would have used a different method, but the strong scent from this bottle of perfume was the only thing that could mask the smell of blood.

“Never mind, I’ll just endure it…”

Ling Mo took a deep breath. He had a strong willpower, so it shouldn’t be a problem for a short period. However, the suppressed feeling of Frenzy seemed to be stirring again.

Expensive perfume really is different; even when it goes bad, it becomes so lethal…

Considering the unexpected appearance of the Mutation Beast, Ling Mo became even more cautious.

Although they had masked their scent, Mutation Beasts had very sensitive noses. While they were more attracted to the smell of blood and human flesh, it was better to be cautious.

This Clothing City had four floors, and it was unclear which floor Ban Yue might be on.

With his Psychic Power enhanced, Ling Mo could use it to scan the area for a short time. However, penetrating walls was extremely difficult for him, and to avoid alerting anyone, he couldn’t use his Superpower before finding Ban Yue, otherwise, they would be exposed immediately.

“Bird, oh bird, why haven’t you held on…”

Ling Mo glanced back at Ye Lian. The unlucky pigeon was inside the small backpack that Yu Shiran used, which was now hanging from Ye Lian’s arm.

After about ten minutes of searching, Ling Mo’s group quickly reached the fourth floor.

They found nothing on the first three floors. It was clear that Ban Yue and the Mutation Beast were on the fourth floor, making Ling Mo’s group even more cautious.

Yu Shiran’s eyes finally showed a trace of anxiety, but Ling Mo didn’t give her any chance to send an alarm signal.

The fourth floor had a large office area and many individual offices.

Ling Mo searched each office one by one. Unexpectedly, as he turned a corner, he heard a door open.

“Shh.”

Ling Mo immediately waved his hand, signaling Ye Lian and the others to stop. He himself hid around the corner, using only his eyes to quietly observe the hallway.

A door to an office opened, and out walked a figure in a tracksuit, with fair skin and delicate features.

It was Ban Yue, the lesbian zombie…

It had been half a month since Ling Mo last saw her. Her hair seemed to have grown slightly longer, making her look less like a boy and more like an innocent schoolgirl.

However, her chest was still as flat as ever…

Ling Mo’s eyes first noticed her chest. Sure enough, there were still visible wounds there, indicating that healing was a slow process.

No wonder Yu Shiran had resorted to such a foolish method, hoping that regular medicine would heal Ban Yue.

There was still no sign of the Mutation Beast nearby. Ling Mo hesitated for a moment but then refocused on Ban Yue.

There’s no way a Mutation Beast would coexist peacefully with zombies; it was probably hiding somewhere else…

Originally, Ling Mo thought Ban Yue was going downstairs, but unexpectedly, she headed toward the end of the hallway.

There was only a restroom there…

Ling Mo’s heart leapt with joy! A restroom was perfect for an ambush!

“Let’s go.”

Seeing Ban Yue enter the restroom, Ling Mo immediately followed her.

To avoid being detected by Ban Yue, Ling Mo deliberately led Ye Lian and the three girls around, taking a detour through another hallway.

What Ling Mo didn’t know was that as they took the detour, a large, dark head emerged from the door Ban Yue had just exited…

“Why am I so excited? Is it because I’ve never ambushed a zombie before… This perfume going bad shouldn’t cause this…”

Ling Mo felt increasingly hot, and the feeling of Frenzy inside him was becoming harder to suppress.

But this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an ambush; he couldn’t afford to pass it up.

From what he had learned from Yu Shiran, Ban Yue considered him an enemy.

A Leader-Level Zombie lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment鈥”that thought alone was terrifying.

With such a significant threat, Ling Mo couldn’t rest easy without taking the initiative.

As they got closer to the restroom door, Ling Mo’s heartbeat quickened.

Ling Mo took a deep breath to steady his nerves, then gripped his Tang Sword tightly.

After exchanging glances with Ye Lian and the three girls, Ling Mo slowly moved along the wall.

No wonder this Clothing City specialized in luxury goods; the restroom was built like a palace, with golden tiles and an astonishingly large space.

Ban Yue had run to the restroom and was now standing by the window, seemingly observing the outside.

However, Ling Mo soon noticed something unusual because Ban Yue was doing something everyone does in a restroom.

She was taking off her pants…

Once Ban Yue pulled down her pants, Ling Mo saw that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath, her pale, smooth buttocks facing him directly.

For some reason, Ling Mo felt a surge of heat rising from his lower abdomen.

He was instantly alarmed.

This doesn’t make sense! Ban Yue is both a lesbian and his rival in love; there’s no reason he should have a physiological reaction just from seeing her butt!

He was here to ambush, not to peep!

At this moment, Ling Mo finally realized that something might be wrong with that perfume!

“Damn it, who would leave such perfume in their car? How desperate must you be to carry this stuff around…”

Ling Mo cursed the owner of the luxury car in his mind, but his eyes couldn’t look away from Ban Yue’s pale buttocks.

It’s not his fault; Ling Mo already had strong willpower, but after being affected by the perfume and then seeing such a provocative scene, how could he be expected to resist?

Ban Yue seemed to be inspecting a certain part of her body.

After carefully looking down for a while, she muttered to herself, “Why hasn’t it grown yet? Since the mating book says males grow that thing, why don’t I have one?”

As she spoke, she picked up a dirty, worn-out thick book from the windowsill. Ling Mo vaguely saw the words “Physiological Health” on the cover…

“Why did you regain the ability to read but still lack common sense? When will you realize that you’re never going to grow that thing…”

Ling Mo sighed inwardly.
