Chapter 392 – The Struggle of the Mad Rabbit

With a fierce and desperate expression etched on her face, the rabbit sneered with ferocity, “Think you can corner me? I’d rather go down taking you all with me than let you have your way!”

As she spoke, she leapt with force, landing on the roof of the workshop, ready for her own mutation.

“This is the blood of a high-level zombie, I’ll mutate faster than if I were merely scratched by regular zombies! Thought you had me captured, huh? Thought you could kill me? It won’t be that easy!”

The rabbit cackled madly, and although her naked figure standing there was somewhat comical, the look on her face alone was enough to convey her insanity.

It was only now that Ling Mo came back to his senses, admitting that the rabbit’s actions were beyond his expectations.

Most people, when faced with the threat of death, have a normal reaction, either paralyzed by fear or desperately fleeing. Those with a bit more resolve would fight to the death.

But to think of mutual destruction at the drop of a hat and to act on it without hesitation was indeed rare.

“You really are a mad rabbit…” Ling Mo stared dumbfounded at the rabbit on the roof.

The flickering flames cast her smooth silhouette in a haunting light as she let out peals of laughter.

“Hehe,” the rabbit laughed, “I saw it when you killed those two bears; you wouldn’t accept my pleas for mercy, nor would you let me escape. I may be less capable, but waiting to die isn’t my style! After mutating and feasting on you, who knows, I might just level up directly! Once I’m high-level, I’ll gain intelligence too!”

By the end, her expression was terrifying, reminiscent of someone suffering from a severe seizure.

“You’re even scarier than that guy who kills wearing a rabbit mask. Maybe because you’re in a full rabbit costume, your level of perversion is doubled… But you put on a good show, I almost believed you at first,” Ling Mo said, clicking his tongue.

“Hahahaha…” As her blood began to boil, the rabbit’s behavior became more and more unhinged, “Regretting your stupidity now, aren’t you? You regret it, don’t you?”

“What do I have to regret? After all, I haven’t suffered any loss, and I got to watch a good show. But your companion’s acting isn’t as good as yours. Like that wolf, it should at least say ‘I’ll be back’ to be convincing, and that bear should have at least yelled ‘Wait for me’… But I digress. What I mean to say is,”

A faint smile appeared on Ling Mo’s lips as he suddenly looked at the rabbit with a sympathetic gaze, making her feel extremely uncomfortable, “Humans infected by high-level zombies rot and die bit by bit. Your grand ambitions are unlikely to be fulfilled.”

The rabbit’s laughter stopped abruptly.

Her expression slowly shifted from ferocity to horror, and finally to disbelief. Under Ling Mo’s gaze, however, she once again felt an overwhelming pressure, and her eyes went wild as she screamed hysterically, “I don’t believe it! Impossible! Even if I rot, I’ll make sure you turn into meat in my stomach first! Especially you, you disgusting man! Other than deceiving women with your sweet talk, what else can you do!”

Seeing Xia Na and the others all turning their heads back to look at him, Ling Mo quickly waved his hand: “I didn’t know her before! … I guess she’s a bit confused right now. Although from what she said, one can tell she was once a pitiable woman, I really despise those who use past setbacks as an excuse to commit evil deeds. Many serial killers had tragic childhoods, but does that serve as a get-out-of-jail-free card? Pure psychological perversion!”

“It’s rare to hear such a serious statement. Is this also a human behavioral habit?” Li Ya Lin revealed a thoughtful expression.

The portion of the brick wall she had pushed over had already suppressed a patch of flames, but the fire barrier had not been completely extinguished.

“Just by looking at how she casually concocted a plan with the goal of getting us killed, you can tell what kind of person this woman is,” Ling Mo snorted coldly.

“How do you know it was me who devised the plan?” Rabbit said with a laugh, “Just a wild guess?”

Ling Mo smiled: “All three of them took the risk to approach the workshop to carry out the plan, while you hid behind, ready to reap the benefits. Don’t tell me that this is a customary practice in your team to take care of females. I also know that you’re stalling for time with me, trying to wait until you’ve mutated so you can go on a rampage while your mind is still clear, right?”

“Hmph…” Rabbit didn’t speak; her skin had already started to turn slightly red, and her pupils began to dilate, with a hint of blood spreading in her eyeballs.

Mutation was just a matter of ten or so minutes; she would soon feel a surge of power filling her body…

At this moment, in Rabbit’s mind, she had already decided that the first one she wanted to tear apart was this young man.

Compared to the attacks from Li Ya Lin and Ye Lian, it was Ling Mo’s contemptuous gaze and words that ignited her fury even more.

“How would you know how much suffering I’ve endured…” Rabbit thought bitterly, “Life hasn’t been easy for me…”

Just like Ling Mo said, people like Rabbit would not change their perspective even at death’s door.

“Humans are really laughable, preferring to become the zombies they hate rather than kill the other party… There’s no deep-seated hatred since it was just a brief encounter…”

Xia Na snorted coldly and said, “Even with my human thinking, I cannot understand. Is it really because of being underage…”

“The talk is almost over. Actually, if you surrender, I might let you live on your own, but…”

Ling Mo suddenly shot out a mental tentacle, aiming for Rabbit’s mental sphere.

However, Rabbit, in the process of mutating, was extremely sensitive and leaped up abruptly, Ling Mo’s tentacle just grazing past the opened triangular area.

“There’s substance!”

Rabbit suddenly crouched down, reached out to grab, but caught nothing.

After all, even if it was materialized, it was just mental energy…

“What kind of ability do you have!” Rabbit hadn’t landed yet when she felt another wave of energy shooting towards her; she quickly tilted her body to the side, and this time the tentacle passed by her waist.

“Why should I tell you…”

Ling Mo deftly used several tentacles, and this time the rabbit couldn’t dodge them. Her calf took a hit, and her abdomen was injured as well.

As the rabbit fell from the roof, her eyes began to turn red. However, just as she landed in front of Ye Lian, a mental Tentacle had already pierced through her forehead.

The last thing she saw before her eyes was a vision of Ye Lian’s eyes, now a sea of red…

The rabbit suddenly understood, to Ling Mo, this scene was nothing but a joke.

Perhaps Ling Mo had ended her life early, solely to spare himself the sight of her decaying, disgusting process…

“The mad rabbit’s last struggle…”

Ling Mo slowly walked over, crouched down, and covered the rabbit’s exposed body with her own clothes.

Seeing that Ye Lian was still staring at the rabbit, Ling Mo curiously glanced at her, only to suddenly notice the blood vessels in Ye Lian’s eyes slightly contracting towards the center, as if they were alive…

“The edge of evolution…” Ling Mo became somewhat excited all of a sudden, he grasped Ye Lian’s hand and stared at her intently for a while.

“Some people… it turns out some are willing to become zombies…” Ye Lian suddenly showed a dazed smile, “Then, in that case… Ling Mo, you won’t have to be afraid of not having friends.”

Ling Mo was momentarily stunned.

Ye Lian continued, “She… her last look at me wasn’t one of fear…”

Watching Ye Lian’s foolish smile, Ling Mo suddenly let out a long breath and pulled her into his embrace.

“I’m suddenly a bit afraid to let you evolve. If you come to understand more about humans, would you…”

Ling Mo didn’t intend to explain anything to Ye Lian. In fact, the Ye Lian now overlapped a lot with the childhood friend from his memories.

No matter what her status was, her essence was pure. She just shouldn’t be measured by human standards.

You wouldn’t call a human girl evil for eating chicken, right? So Ye Lian consuming gel was just an instinctual need.

But from her way of thinking, she had always been considering Ling Mo silently. Maybe she didn’t say much, but in her heart, she was no less dependent on Ling Mo than Xia Na and Li Ya Lin.

“Even though you won’t feel discomfort, it hurts me… But not evolving isn’t an option either.”

Suddenly feeling a bit troubled in his heart, Ling Mo nonetheless felt an extraordinary sense of tranquility with Ye Lian in his arms.
