Chapter 414 – The Nurse Uniform Warning
“The spiritual body we just eliminated has basically replenished all of my energy for today… The absorption conversion rate is incredibly high!”
In just a short amount of time, the white mental energy cluster had been completely eroded and absorbed into Ling Mo’s psychic light cluster.
From the results, Ling Mo’s blood-red psychic light cluster had an extremely strong offensive capability, and the white mental energy cluster had no resistance whatsoever.
“Absorbing a portion can replenish my depleted psychic power. So what if I absorbed more? Perhaps it could directly enhance the intensity of my psychic power! Also, the absorption just now wasn’t actively controlled by me, so there must have been a lot of waste…”
Feeling excited, Ling Mo immediately turned his head towards the door and revealed a sly smile: “That long-haired youth seems quite narcissistic. I wonder how much psychic power he can provide me…”
“But why did he create so much trouble? What exactly is he aiming for?”
From the current situation, it was clear that the other party had prepared in advance to ambush here, and the target was undoubtedly Liu Baodong and his group.
As for the motive… it ultimately boils down to profit.
But this also suggests that the enemy is likely not acting alone. Otherwise, despite his mental ability, it would be too arrogant to think he could handle so many people by himself.
Not to mention, luring so many Zombies here isn’t something one person could accomplish.
The Zombies were crowded on the street but hadn’t overrun the Department Store. There must be a reason for this…
“Didn’t expect to get involved in such a mess. But it’s a blessing in disguise; it’s rare to encounter a superhuman with mental abilities, especially one this powerful.”
As Ling Mo thought about this, he turned to look at Ye Lian behind him.
At this moment, Ye Lian was “wearing” a pink Nurse Uniform, white stockings, and her impressive chest seemed almost ready to burst out of her outfit.
Combined with her dazed expression, Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel his throat go dry…
“The long-haired superhuman is quite powerful. I can still see the Nurse Uniform, which means my vision is still somewhat affected. If I can’t fully shake it off, it will be even harder for others to discern what’s real. This complicates things…”
Surrounded by a large group of Zombies, they couldn’t fire guns or shout loudly, severely limiting their actions.
Ling Mo walked to a sliding door and peeked through the gap into the Mall, his brows furrowing again: “There are some Zombies inside the Mall as well. With reality mixed with illusions, it’s even harder to make the right decisions. Is this a game of real or fake? … However, this situation is relatively advantageous for Xia Na and Senior Sister. Without the use of firearms, how could anyone match the Leader-Level Zombies in close combat?”
These words were also meant to calm himself. The more he worried about Xia Na and the others, the more likely he was to slip up.
In times like these, staying calm was crucial.
Based on the psychic link, Xia Na and Li Yalin were still in a safe state.
The Cocoon was with Li Yalin, and there were no abnormal psychic signals coming from it, indicating it was also safe.
Due to the long-haired youth’s psychic interference, Ling Mo’s psychic link with them was somewhat affected.
He could barely sense their approximate locations, but visual conversion was impossible.
Forcing the conversion would be strenuous for Ling Mo and could bring unforeseen consequences to Xia Na and the others.
As a result, he couldn’t contact them…
“I just need to deal with you quickly, and then they will naturally be out of danger.”
Several psychic tentacles immediately spread out, searching the surroundings like radar.
Ling Mo cautiously led Ye Lian deeper inside.
“Cough, cough… Damn it!”
From a dark corner, a low male voice suddenly echoed, carrying a hint of exasperation through ragged breaths: “You really dare to clash with me using psychic power! Confident in your psychic strength, aren’t you? Or are you just plain crazy?”
The Long-haired Youth slowly crawled out from his hiding spot, his eyes bloodshot and his complexion deathly pale, as if he had just seen a ghost.
“That almost killed me… Cough, cough… Fine, even if I end up with lasting damage, I will definitely kill you!”
Supporting himself, the Long-haired Youth slowly stood up, looking as though he had just recovered from a severe illness, his spirits very low.
Ling Mo’s strangulation move had dealt him a solid blow, and this was just during their initial skirmish.
“You didn’t even figure out what my superpower is and attacked right away…”
The Long-haired Youth drew a Dagger from his waist with his other hand. “Using psychic power like a blunt instrument, how can you compare to me… Killing you… No, killing you would be too easy. Turning you into an idiot would truly satisfy my grudge!”
He stood there gasping for a while, then shakily turned on his Walkie-Talkie.
“Hey, Yan Shang Feng, you little…”
“That mental ability superhuman, I have to take him down!” the Long-haired Youth screamed into the Walkie-Talkie.
There was a moment of silence on the other end before a male voice asked, “Do you need my help?”
“No, but make sure you handle the others. I don’t want any complications.”
“I was already planning to. If only you’d listened to me earlier… Hey!”
But the Long-haired Youth had already turned off the Walkie-Talkie. He shook his head vigorously, glanced at the Dagger in his hand, and a sinister smile crept onto his face…
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Mall, Lucy was hiding behind a counter.
She wiped sweat from her forehead and suddenly bit down on a lock of her Hair, gripping her injured shoulder with her hand.
“Crack!”
“Ugh!”
With a suppressed cry of pain, Lucy slowly released her teeth and slumped against the counter.
Although her arm was temporarily unusable, after the treatment, at least the severe pain wouldn’t hinder her movements anymore.
“This Pumpkin Head is really tough!”
Lucy had barely relaxed for a few seconds before she pressed herself tightly against the counter, not daring to take a deep breath.
Because just as she let her guard down, she heard the creak of the stairwell door not far away.
Someone had entered!
“Creaaak…”
The sound of a wooden stick dragging across the floor made Lucy tense up immediately.
She gripped her Pocket Knife tightly, her knuckles turning white: “This might be my only chance! I have no idea where the others are. If I don’t deal with this Pumpkin Head, I might die without anyone knowing!”
With her resolve set, Lucy waited for Pumpkin Head to approach, silently timing her move.
“Now!”
As the creaking stopped behind her, Lucy leaped up from behind the counter, swinging her Pocket Knife directly at the opponent’s neck.
But in that instant, she suddenly felt a dizzying shift in her vision, as if she had seen a pair of blood-red eyes like a Kaleidoscope…
In Lucy’s moment of daze, Pumpkin Head dodged her attack and delivered a swift chop to the back of her neck.
“Just as I thought…”
Xia Na caught Lucy in her arms. As her eyes returned to normal, the creature in her arms morphed back into the jointless Monster.
“I knew the scent was familiar… So it wasn’t my sense of smell that was off, but my sight… But I can’t maintain this state for too long…”
Speaking, Xia Na freed one hand and rubbed the back of her head: “It’s all Lucy’s fault for running. What do I look like in your eyes, anyway…”
Despite her annoyed tone, Xia Na flung Lucy over her shoulder, letting her hang from her Scythe, and casually walked out: “Let’s find the others. If the scent isn’t familiar, there’s no need to bother…”
As Xia Na dealt with Lucy, Liu Baodong and his two companions were still chasing their opponent inside the building.
“Why are you still chasing me! I hide, and you follow me in!”
Liu Baodong was extremely frustrated. The behavior of the Zombie behind him was bizarre, almost mirroring his own actions.
