Chapter 41 – Who Says Zombies Can’t Kiss?

Seeing that Xia Na wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon, Ling Mo handed the virus gel to Ye Lian.

The psychic link between him and Ye Lian had become very strong. Although Ye Lian’s eyes showed intense desire for the virus gel, she didn’t try to snatch it away. Her instinctive reactions towards Ling Mo had also diminished significantly.

It wasn’t surprising. He and Ye Lian were now like two parts of a single entity. Controlling Ye Lian was as natural as moving his own limbs, unlike the complications he faced with Xia Na.

In the end, his puppet control ability wasn’t strong enough. Controlling several ordinary zombies simultaneously was manageable, but controlling both Ye Lian and Xia Na for extended periods was far from easy…

“Eat it,” Ling Mo said tenderly, stroking Ye Lian’s cheek as he watched her swallow the highly refined piece of virus gel.

As the gel entered her body, the high-purity virus it contained would spread throughout Ye Lian’s system, likely concentrating in her hindbrain. The exact purity of the virus in the lesions in Ye Lian’s brain, however, remained unknown…

But as he watched Ye Lian, Ling Mo grew increasingly tense. Unlike Xia Na, any evolution Ye Lian underwent would have a significant impact on him as well!

During Ye Lian’s last evolution, he had benefited greatly, but the process had been excruciating. And that time, she had only consumed a single piece of gel. This time, she had swallowed an extremely pure piece of virus gel!

While it might not be as exaggerated as ten times the potency, it was certainly at least five times more intense!

Sure enough, after swallowing the virus gel, Ye Lian’s throat emitted a strange “gurgling” sound. Her eyes, which had turned black after her last evolution, suddenly filled with countless red veins, turning blood-red in an instant! Even her pupils seemed to be shrouded in a red mist.

Fortunately, she showed no signs of resistance and didn’t pass out like Xia Na.

Ye Lian, trembling all over, had eyes filled with a bloodthirsty aura. If someone were to face away from her, ignoring her slender body and beautiful face, they would undoubtedly think a ferocious beast was lurking behind them, ready to pounce!

Ling Mo used to think that “killing intent” was a mere myth, something that didn’t exist. But at this moment, looking at Ye Lian, he deeply understood what it meant to have a true killing intent!

Although she sat motionless on the chair, Ling Mo, standing close in front of her, didn’t dare move a muscle. It felt as if any slight movement of his finger would provoke an attack from her.

Of course, this was just a fleeting sensation because the psychic link between Ling Mo and Ye Lian remained unshaken; she would never attack him.

Even so, Ling Mo was utterly shocked! This unrestrained frenzy was something Ye Lian had never exhibited before.

At that moment, the influence transmitted through their psychic link made Ling Mo shudder. A surge of frenzy instantly swept through his mind!

Unlike before, this time Ling Mo didn’t feel any physical discomfort. On the contrary, as his eyes turned red and his fists clenched, he felt an overwhelming sense of exhilaration!

Every pore in his body seemed to open up completely, and his mind was clearer than ever. Although his vision was nearly consumed by a red haze, the feeling of wielding such power made Ling Mo feel immensely satisfied.

However, his thoughts were entirely consumed by the frenzied killing intent, making him want to destroy everything in his sight.

While the physical pleasure was immensely gratifying, Ling Mo vaguely sensed that true satisfaction could only be achieved if he unleashed his destructive urges, with the pleasure doubling as a result!

He even felt that, at this very moment, his way of thinking and the sensations from his body were identical to those of a zombie!

Had it not been for the enhancement of his psychic power, Ling Mo might have succumbed entirely to this feeling. But just as he was losing his grip on sanity, a wave of resistance from Ye Lian snapped him back to reality.

He had just begun to lose control when Ye Lian almost broke free from his grasp…

No wonder zombies lose their sanity and become mindless killing machines. That feeling of giving oneself entirely to instinct is like pressing an exhilarating button, and once it’s opened, it might never close again.

Upon regaining his senses, Ling Mo felt both terrified and struggled immensely to resist that strange feeling emanating from deep within.

Even with his extraordinary willpower, he couldn’t help but breathe heavily, his entire body trembling slightly. This wasn’t due to pain but from the overwhelming pleasure surging through him like a tide…

Ye Lian, sitting in front of him, also had a flushed face, her eyes fixed on Ling Mo, seemingly already lost in that sensation.

As Ling Mo almost reached his limit, he let out a low growl and suddenly lunged at Ye Lian, holding her tightly in his arms.

Only by doing this could he shift his focus and free himself from that destructive desire! But holding her tightly wasn’t enough; he needed more!

Ling Mo cupped Ye Lian’s face, and under her blood-red gaze, he trembled all over and pressed his lips against hers.

Those cold lips and the warm tip of her tongue finally brought a bit of calm to Ling Mo’s frenzied heart. He held Ye Lian, losing himself in her sweetness, planting passionate and frantic kisses on her cheeks and neck. His hands roamed over Ye Lian’s waist, caressing her slender back, her smooth shoulders, and her slightly protruding collarbone…

It was unclear how long it took, but Ling Mo gradually came to his senses. When he snapped back to reality, he found himself and Ye Lian rolled onto the carpet.

Ye Lian’s top had been torn to shreds by him, and her small undergarment could barely cover her ample chest.

Ye Lian’s chest even bore a kiss mark, naturally a product of Ling Mo’s near-madness.

At that moment, when he was on the verge of losing his mind, Ling Mo acted purely on instinct, fully awakening his desire for Ye Lian to resist the frenzy. In hindsight, shifting his focus worked quite well…

But kissing a zombie? Pinning a zombie down?

Who else could do something like this? Probably only him… But damn it, who said you can’t kiss a zombie? It felt pretty good…

Of course, in Ling Mo’s heart, Ye Lian wasn’t a bloodthirsty zombie or some monster. She might not be human anymore, but in Ling Mo’s eyes, she was still the girl who made his heart flutter!

However, as he gradually calmed down, Ling Mo felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him!

With Lu Xin and Xia Na’s experiences, it was already confirmed that the virus could be transmitted through blood. What about saliva? In his near-insane state, he had taken in quite a bit of Ye Lian’s sweet fluid from her mouth!

And the most critical issue was that Ye Lian had just swallowed a piece of virus gel! Did that count as directly ingesting the virus?

When a person’s head is dizzy, they lose the ability to think, especially under external influence. Ling Mo not completely losing his mind and going berserk on the spot was already quite good. But now that he had calmed down, Ling Mo broke out in a cold sweat.

No sane person would want to turn into a zombie, and if he mutated, Xia Na and Ye Lian would be doomed. Ye Lian might gouge out his hindbrain on the spot and then disappear into this zombie-infested nightmare of a city…

And Xia Na? She probably wouldn’t escape Ye Lian’s grasp either. What to do!

Ling Mo sat there, cold all over, staring blankly at Ye Lian, a bitter smile gradually forming on his lips.

His first kiss could be deadly!
