Chapter 303 – The Parasitic Dog! The Rolling Maid!

Despite Ling Mo having grown accustomed to Black Silk’s rapid morphological changes, its current form still exceeded his expectations.

Given its omnivorous habits, Ling Mo estimated that anything alive could be on its hunting list.

However, what left Ling Mo feeling uneasy was that he had no idea what Black Silk had consumed over the past few days.

After leaving the restaurant, Ling Mo had briefly switched his perspective to see through Black Silk’s eyes…

It was only for a moment, but when Ye Lian asked why Ling Mo looked so pale, he replied with just one sentence: “It’s… feeding…”

Ling Mo’s perspective switch wasn’t merely about receiving the other party’s brainwaves. The Puppet Control Ability was inherently aggressive.

Calling it a perspective switch was somewhat misleading—what Ling Mo was actually doing was sharing Black Silk’s vision through their deep Psychic Link.

This is much milder than taking over the other person’s entire body, but it essentially boils down to a localized form of puppet control.

In that instant, it was as if he had “seen” it with his own eyes.

After that intense visual shock, Ling Mo no longer casually switched his perspective to Black Silk.

But who could have guessed that in just a few days, it would transform from a giant dog into a… ball!

Ling Mo grabbed Black Silk in his hand, feeling puzzled. Black Silk felt like an inflatable ball, which was odd.

Its bones seemed to have turned into cartilage. This mutation was beyond anything Ling Mo could have imagined.

“Let me think… You’ve eaten Mutation Beasts, zombies, and definitely variation zombies… Damn, your body is the ultimate hybrid!”

Ling Mo could sense that Black Silk’s Psychic Activity was quite intense. Judging its current strength was difficult.

At least Ling Mo couldn’t determine if it was still at an advanced level…

And its strange appearance…

Considering even the Spider Queen could evolve, it didn’t seem too far-fetched that a mix of various mutation viruses could turn it into a ball.

“Forget it. You’re less conspicuous like this, and I can just stuff you into my backpack from now on.”

Ling Mo put Black Silk down, then grabbed his backpack and jumped over the completely crushed sofa to enter the adjacent house.

He still had a lot to do. Before nightfall, he planned to review the documents he had and monitor the progress at the Falcon Camp.

From a distance, he could see some zombies being attracted to the area near the station. However, the Falcon members were handling them quite effectively, with no issues arising.

With the zombies distracting them, the Falcon members were unlikely to search the nearby area for clues.

Ye Lian and the three girls were tasked with drawing water from the well and gathering gas canisters from the residential buildings.

These tasks were quite easy for them.

Ling Mo estimated that they would be staying in this place for a while.

“Ling-Ge, the water’s ready. Do you want to take a bath?”

An hour later, Xia Na’s voice suddenly came from behind.

Ling Mo rubbed his temples, put down the folder, and answered casually, “Sure.”

But as soon as he turned around, he felt his heart skip a beat and his pupils contracted sharply.

“Where did she come from?”

Behind Xia Na stood a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a dirty and torn maid outfit with a white fur collar around her neck.

Although her expression was somewhat strange, her eyes looked completely normal, just like an ordinary survivor.

This scene was more shocking to Ling Mo than a sudden zombie attack. If this girl were a nearby survivor, Xia Na would never have brought her back casually.

In fact, the fact that Xia Na didn’t kill the girl on the spot showed significant restraint.

“Who are you?”

Ling Mo stared at the girl with wide eyes and asked.

The girl stuck out her tongue but didn’t speak.

“Are you a survivor from around here?” Ling Mo asked again.

But just then, the girl suddenly lunged at him and started rubbing against his chest.

Ling Mo was stunned for a moment; he had never encountered such an forward girl.

However, she had a strong smell of blood on her, and Ling Mo quickly pushed her away. “Show some respect, girl…”

At this moment, Ling Mo’s hand accidentally touched the collar, and it felt familiar.

“This? Oh my God, isn’t this Black Silk’s?!”

Ling Mo’s eyes widened. A bizarre Mutation Beast was clinging to the neck of a human Survivor?!

The girl made a few snorting sounds, placed her hands on the ground, and slowly crawled toward Ling Mo.

“This is too weird… Xia Na, what’s wrong with this girl?”

Ling Mo quickly stood up, but the girl immediately wrapped her arms around his leg.

She showed no reaction to Ling Mo’s question.

“Black Silk can’t speak, but if I tell you, you have to spend the night with me,” Xia Na said with a mischievous wink.

Ling Mo was taken aback. “Aren’t we together every night?”

“No, tonight just us two. I have something I want to talk about,” Xia Na replied.

Though the request was peculiar, Ling Mo nodded.

He was already bewildered by the current situation…

Xia Na pointed at the girl and explained, “Although Black Silk’s body has shrunk, it has actually evolved into something extremely powerful… Think of it like a computer that’s been condensed into a motherboard. It still has strong combat abilities, but it has also gained some new capabilities, similar to those of the variation zombies.”

“This girl is the Host Body it found for itself. Black Silk now functions like a central control system, managing this body’s every move,” Xia Na continued. “However, it can survive outside this body too. It’s just that its own physical state is quite poor now, mostly in a dormant state. So, it needs the Host Body to function. Also, it has been using this Host Body for several days, so they have become quite synchronized.”

“Of course, leave it to the genius… So, she is basically Black Silk now?”

Ling Mo’s eyes widened again.

Xia Na nodded, then walked over and pulled the girl up, giving Black Silk a strong tug.

A few exceptionally thin, silver hair-like strands emerged from the girl’s long hair, the other ends connected to Black Silk’s body.

Ling Mo took a deep breath and lifted the girl’s hair, immediately feeling a chill run up from his feet.

“By the way,” Xia Na said as she forcefully pulled Black Silk off, causing the girl’s eyes to immediately turn red.

“This is actually a zombie.”

Without Black Silk’s control, the maid dressed girl reverted to her zombie form but showed no reaction to her surroundings.

Even with a delicious human like Ling Mo standing right next to her, she had no desire to attack.

“I guess this is the side effect of being Black Silk’s Host Body. Without the ‘motherboard,’ she just shuts down. As for why it chose a female Host Body… I think it’s because Black Silk is female.”

As Xia Na spoke, she pressed Black Silk back into place.

Just as she had said, Black Silk’s Main Body barely moved, looking extremely fatigued.

Once Black Silk and the girl were seamlessly integrated again, the maid dressed girl returned to her normal appearance.

Black Silk, clinging to her neck, was so perfectly camouflaged that it was impossible to detect anything unusual with the naked eye.

However, the girl’s behavior was extremely abnormal…

She was currently rolling on the ground at Ling Mo’s feet, occasionally pretending to pounce and grab his leg.

Ling Mo looked at her with a troubled expression, then, as if he were being tortured, he slowly raised his hand and quickly patted the girl’s head. “Good girl…”

“Woof!”

Black Silk happily rolled on the ground once more, causing her already decayed underwear to fall off.

Ling Mo sighed deeply as he saw Black Silk exposed, holding his head in exasperation.

Dealing with three energetic, extremely curious, and completely clueless female zombies was already enough to give Ling Mo a headache. He hadn’t expected he’d also have to take care of a dog-girl…

Ling Mo reached out to pull her up, but the next second he felt a tickling sensation in his palm.

“I didn’t ask you to lick me! You smell terrible; let’s get you cleaned up first! Xia Na, come help.”

Ling Mo grabbed Xia Na, who was trying to sneak away, and forced a smile. “Didn’t I say Black Silk was your responsibility? So, the bath…”

Xia Na nodded seriously and said, “But I never bathe dogs myself. The maid does that.”

“Damn it! I forgot you’re a rich girl…”

Ling Mo looked down in frustration at the maid dressed girl—Black Silk—clinging to his leg.
