Chapter 347 – Human Mobile Gun Platform

“Giggling.”

The Zombie Infant let out a soft laugh in mid-air before being flung away.

In that split second, Ling Mo got a good look at it up close.

It was slightly smaller than a human baby but was clearly more developed.

Its eyes and teeth already looked dangerous!

“Looks like it makes a big show, but it’s actually pretty easy to deal with…”

Ling Mo had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the flung infant land on another zombie and then leap fiercely towards the off-road vehicle!

“Bang!”

The roof of the off-road vehicle was immediately grabbed tightly. The infant clung to the car, staring at Ling Mo from less than half a meter away.

It still wore a slight smile on its face, looking innocent and pure.

Originally, Ling Mo thought Li Yalin would be very interested in the Zombie Infant, but when he turned around, she had already crawled back into the car.

With no long-range attack capabilities and the sunroof being too small, it was easier for Ling Mo to move if she retreated inside.

It seemed that since it wasn’t her own child, Li Yalin’s interest was limited…

The idea of capturing a Zombie Infant and presenting it to her was instantly shattered.

The Zombie Infant looked harmless, but those little hands digging into the metal made Ling Mo’s mind flash with three big words: This is trouble!

Those were just the hands of an infant!

An ordinary zombie couldn’t break through the reinforced car skin, yet it could handle it like cutting through tofu—this one definitely came with cheats from the womb!

Now Ling Mo understood why that male zombie had no qualms about throwing the infant out…

By nature, most creatures protect their young.

Since zombies have the instinct to reproduce and the need to increase their numbers, they would naturally protect their offspring.

But as it turns out, Zombie Infants have formidable combat abilities!

It makes sense when you think about it. Ordinary zombies evolve step by step after being infected by the Virus. But Zombie Infants? They are born with the Virus throughout their bodies!

You can’t underestimate them because they are small; their Virus is very pure!

At least, it has already reached the top level of a Mutation Zombie!

A zombie’s strength has nothing to do with gender, size, or age.

The only measure of a zombie’s power is the purity and concentration of the Virus.

Of course, there are individual differences among zombies, just like humans. In general, it comes down to innate talent.

However, the emergence of Zombie Infants marks the full establishment of zombies as a new race!

Ling Mo tried to control it, but the Zombie Infant seemed to sense the danger and shot out like a cannonball.

“Damn…”

Ling Mo barely had time to block with his tentacle before seeing a blur of black.

“Bang!”

The infant was flung out again, but this time it clung to the back of the vehicle, abandoning Ling Mo and crashing into the rear window.

Its small size and speed made it difficult for even Ling Mo’s keen senses to track. Without being able to lock onto it, attacking was out of the question.

“Ahhh!!!!!!”

Screams from inside the car—Luo Ni and Wu Pengfei. Although the vehicle was modified with bulletproof glass, it couldn’t withstand this kind of assault!

The rapid “bang bang” sounds were like a death knell!

“Although it feels like selling out my teammates, this is a good opportunity!”

If Ling Mo’s tentacles couldn’t bend, he would be stuck just watching. But as long as he wasn’t afraid of the energy drain, his tentacles could extend through the vehicle and even turn corners!

With the attention of the Zombie Infant drawn to Luo Ni and Wu Pengfei’s screams, Ling Mo’s tentacles found their chance.

“An elastic body can withstand most damage, and it’s extremely fast with strong attack power. But it has almost no intelligence, and it surely can’t withstand penetrating damage… I need to seize the moment and make sure Wu Pengfei doesn’t get killed.”

“Xia Na! Work with me!”

With Vision Sharing, Ling Mo quickly formulated a solution.

“Thud!”

As soon as the glass shattered, Xia Na slapped the Zombie Infant out of the car.

As a Leader-Level Zombie, Xia Na’s eyes changed color in an instant, and her bewildering ability caused the Zombie Infant to become disoriented mid-air.

For Xia Na, an instant was enough. For Ling Mo, it was more than enough.

Ling Mo’s tentacle, curving mid-air, managed to catch the infant and fling it away.

The Zombie Infant fell to the ground, quickly being left far behind.

“Roar!”

The hefty male zombie tore apart an ordinary zombie that was about to devour a corpse, his body drenched in blood.

But in this gruesome scene, the careful way he cradled the Zombie Infant stirred something in Ling Mo’s heart.

“Are zombies… really just monsters?”

“Almost there! We’re about to turn! This is the quickest route, we’re almost there!” Yuwen Xuan suddenly shouted.

It seemed he wasn’t intentionally leading them to their deaths. Though there were many zombies along the way, the distance wasn’t actually that far.

Most of the zombies were gathered by the riverbank, and this garden avenue, though heavily infested, was the most direct route.

Yuwen Xuan might be crazy, but he wasn’t stupid.

The vehicle, heavily modified, had sustained numerous dents on the front and deep scratches on the roof from the Zombie Infant, but it was otherwise intact.

“Hey, good job, high five?”

As Ling Mo retracted his tentacle and returned inside, Yuwen Xuan raised his hand with a grin.

Ling Mo glared at him. “How about I use my hand, and you use your face?”

“Hahaha, you’re so funny.” Yuwen Xuan quickly lowered his hand.

“But we’ve only seen one Zombie Infant so far…” Ling Mo said, frowning.

Yuwen Xuan pondered for a moment and then said, “Well, maybe our target is still too small. A lot of zombies didn’t react, and the firecrackers drew them to the bridge. But it is a bit strange… Anyway, it’s good we’re making it through, hahaha…”

“Making it through, my ass!” Ling Mo rubbed his forehead and said.

Luo Ni was still clutching her head, dazed from the Zombie Infant’s frenzied assault. It had been slamming into the back of her head, leaving her in a state of shock.

Only after Ye Lian tapped her curiously on the head did she snap back to reality. She slowly raised her head in panic, asking, “Where’s that little monster?”

“We should thank you for your screams. They were louder than firecrackers! Sometimes, losing your cool can be a good thing. I guess you can’t generalize everything…” Ling Mo said with a smile.

Wu Pengfei awkwardly scratched his chin, though he was trembling like he’d touched a live wire, making the attempt at calmness quite comical. “Heh… but why does that sound so weird? I’ll just take it as a compliment… Anyway, don’t mention it, just give us a shout if you need it.”

“How are things now?” he asked, looking around.

“We’re almost there.”

The off-road vehicle had turned onto a narrow path, speeding up and leaving the ordinary zombies far behind.

Ling Mo calculated that from the time they got onto the road to when they sped through the Garden Avenue, it had only been about five minutes.

But the number of zombies they had killed was more than Ling Mo had taken down in the past two or three months combined.

As his power increased, Ling Mo had mainly targeted Senior Zombies and had not experienced the overwhelming terror of being surrounded by countless ordinary zombies for a long time.

Indeed, while Senior Zombies were terrifying, the sheer numbers of ordinary zombies appearing in layers could be even more frightening.

On the other hand, Ling Mo’s psychic power had been depleted and replenished numerous times in such a short period, resulting in some growth.

“Usually, without anyone to cooperate with, it’s impossible to train this way. Although we made it through the zombie horde successfully this time, it was thanks to Yuwen Xuan, the crazy driver, and the help of Ye Lian and the others. We used up all our bullets and grenades…”

Summarizing battle experiences and analyzing results was a habit of Ling Mo’s.

Yuwen Xuan, watching Ling Mo in deep thought, also had a contemplative look in his eyes.

“Maybe Ling Mo hasn’t realized it himself, but he is really strong! The potential of his mental ability is enormous. Not only is his combat power formidable, but he can also remain calm no matter the situation… He was standing on the sunroof just now, more powerful than four mounted machine guns combined—a true mobile turret…”
