Chapter 494 – The Mushroom Game

After enduring a bombardment that lasted over ten minutes, Ling Mo finally left the Regimental Commander’s office with Bighead and the others.

Given that Ling Mo had just provided some “very important” information, the Regimental Commander temporarily decided not to punish him.

However, this didn’t mean he was off the hook. Li Hao was still temporarily confined to his room, awaiting further action once the battle’s outcome was determined.

As the middle-aged man walked past Ling Mo, he let out a heavy, sarcastic snort and said, “This time, we’ve sent out the best from my team. I want to see just how capable this Ling Mo really is, and whether he can take out our veterans with just a brick.”

Ling Mo glanced up at him, feeling like he wanted to smile but ended up rolling his eyes in frustration.

The compatibility wasn’t high enough; trying to make a cold smile nearly turned into a muscle spasm…

Under Xing Yao’s watchful eye, Ling Mo parted ways with the large group and walked up to his room.

“Captain Li, go in.”

Xing Yao looked at Ling Mo, who stood motionless, and urged him on.

Ling Mo glanced down at the doorknob, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

Before Xing Yao could react, it felt as if a hand had suddenly reached into his mind and stirred it. Then, he was struck hard on the hindbrain.

As the door opened, Ling Mo caught the falling Xing Yao and dragged him into the room.

Moments later, a figure wearing a hooded jacket emerged from the room. After locking the door, he tossed the key in his hand and pocketed it.

There were too many people around just now, including some superhumans, making it a bad time to act.

But now was the perfect moment…

As he turned the corner in the hallway, the eyes beneath the hood glimmered with a hidden murderous intent…

“Roar!”

In the town, a zombie was slowly wandering around.

Bloodstains covered its body, with some appearing fresher than the older ones.

The same situation could be seen on a few other zombies nearby.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the end of the street.

This figure appeared very suddenly and quite eerily.

Slender and fragile, with long black hair that nearly reached the back of her knees, her body was the height of a girl around ten years old, yet her curves were well-defined.

Due to her well-proportioned figure, she looked not only natural but also very attractive.

When she lifted her head, her delicate yet paper-pale face and her bright red eyes made her look more like a fragile and exquisite porcelain doll.

But just by standing there, this figure made all the zombies simultaneously halt their wandering steps.

“Roar?”

A zombie closest to her had just turned its head when it was suddenly entangled by a thin red line.

Before it could even struggle, it was pulled through the air and dragged in front of the porcelain doll.

The porcelain doll lifted her eyes to look at it and then gently sniffed.

“It’s indeed his scent,” the porcelain doll murmured to herself, her voice sounding ethereal and devoid of any emotional fluctuation, “and my blood mixed in.”

She turned to look back the way she had come, a hint of confusion flashing across her otherwise emotionless face: “All along the way… it’s been…”

Then she tilted her head: “Why?”

With her mind as a variation zombie, she seemed unable to understand this behavior.

Along the way, she could occasionally find such zombies, bearing that human’s fresh blood and her own…

If the porcelain doll had recovered enough of her human memories, she would have realized that this was a game similar to eating mushrooms.

Even though she didn’t have a big nose, wasn’t wearing a hat, nor dressed in overalls, she would still chase after the mushrooms (zombies) planted by Ling Mo all the way…

The porcelain doll was still puzzling over this question one second, and in the next, the zombie ensnared by her tentacle exploded into a cloud of blood with a “pop.”

The tentacle swirled in the blood mist, transforming from semi-transparent to a clear, vivid red.

This zombie was at least mutation-level, yet from the moment it was grabbed to its death, leaving no trace behind, it didn’t manage to put up any resistance.

That hair-thin tentacle possessed a power so overwhelming that it rendered the zombie incapable of resistance, and a voracious appetite that drained it completely.

As the blood was absorbed into the tentacle, the porcelain doll’s eyes seemed to glow even redder.

“Face him directly… and then eat him.”

In front of the porcelain doll’s eyes, the image of that human seemed to appear.

Her body swayed slightly, and in the next second, she appeared in front of the next mushroom (zombie).

Just then, a noise suddenly came from afar.

The noise grew closer and closer, and as several small black silhouettes came into view, the porcelain doll’s eyes narrowed slightly.

…

“She should be here by now, right?”

As the zombie puppet controlled by Ling Mo hurried into a corridor, he glanced outside.

He had delayed revealing the “information” until today to wait for her—the hidden trump card!

After figuring out how to summon her, Ling Mo had always considered her a ready-to-unleash meat grinder.

And who knew how terrifyingly powerful this formidable variation zombie had become after such a long separation?

The thought of the Air Force Corps’ elite facing an unexpected and never-before-encountered formidable enemy made Ling Mo chuckle with glee.

This was also a chance to suppress the Black Widow, who had threatened to devour him.

The Spider Queen, the first variation zombie to appear in X City, had not only nearly annihilated three of Falcon’s squads but also transformed half of X City into a haven for variation zombies.

Her terrifying propagation and formidable physical attacks made this Black Widow a true “Queen.”

“Perfect timing… I’m running low on potion, too. This is a true double win…”

Ling Mo’s main body thought, satisfied, as he stroked his chin.

By now, there was no one left around his main body.

At the entrance of the Air Force Corps, off-road vehicles were continuously driving out.

But once these off-road vehicles got onto the highway and disappeared from the watchtower’s view, they were on a one-way trip to doom.

“MeGu!”

A giant panda suddenly leaped out from the tall grass, with an excited little loli sitting on its back.

The driver of the leading vehicle swerved sharply, eyes wide with shock, as several silver threads shot out from the loli’s neck, wrapping around their guns.

Meanwhile, the giant panda waddled over on its short legs and, upon nearing the vehicle, stood upright, its previously innocent expression turning into one of frenzy.

“Wham!”

With just one slap…

The off-road vehicle rolled over, crashing into the tall grass. An officer struggled to crawl out.

As he emerged from the window, a swift, ethereal figure appeared before him.

The last thing he saw was a flash of cold light and a figure that darted in and out like a snake.

The driver of the next vehicle, trying to stop, was startled as a figure lightly jumped onto the hood.

Seeing the pretty girl holding an expensive sniper rifle, with the stock facing down and a blank expression, the driver was dumbfounded.

“What… what is she trying to do…”

Before he could finish speaking, a dull thud sounded as the rifle stock smashed into the windshield.

Through the girl’s vacant eyes, the windshield turned blood-red…

“Bullets are expensive, need to save them…”

The girl muttered.

“Seems like the rifle is more expensive, though, Ye Lian…”

A figure darted past her, using the car roof as a springboard, and then descended with a flash of cold light, landing in front of the third vehicle.

“Run her over!”

At such close range, the soldiers couldn’t react in time to shoot. The driver grinned viciously and stomped on the gas.

However, the girl with long, flowing hair in the wind, holding a scythe, smiled eerily and coldly.

Simultaneously, in their vision, a blood-red figure suddenly appeared.

As the scythe, like the edge of a blood moon, swept down, the soldiers’ eyes went blank.

And in the instant the skidding off-road vehicle neared, the black-eyed scythe girl swung her blade fiercely!
