Chapter 555 – An Impulsive Kiss

This was completely beyond Ling Mo’s expectations!

He had been curious about why Lucy got infected before, but no matter how he guessed, he never thought it would come back to him.

…What normal human would think of themselves in such a situation?

Although Ling Mo was quite abnormal… but his understanding hadn’t reached such a level yet!

As soon as he realized this, Ling Mo felt a chill down his spine!

Horrifying! Simply horrifying!

“I’ve already mutated to the point where I can infect others?! Damn it! That was just one drop of blood! One drop!”

Ling Mo’s face was stiff, but in his heart, he was roaring: “And it’s not even like a regular zombie; I actually created a new method of infection! What am I now? A new type of zombie? A combination of a superhuman and a zombie? Like a variation zombie and a regular zombie? Even a Niepan perfect body doesn’t have infection capabilities, right?”

“Does this mean… in the future, I have to be very careful when interacting with humans to avoid infecting them? Damn it!!”

This feeling was like a guy who always considered himself an ordinary person, but one day he suddenly discovered that he was actually a human-shaped bomb, and previously he accidentally killed a companion with a sneeze…

This is terrible!

If Lucy wasn’t staring at him with wide eyes, Ling Mo would have lost his mind right then.

“Sigh!”

After Ling Mo finally calmed down, he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed because he didn’t know how to face Lucy.

How to face her?

Tell Lucy the honest truth and then be hated by her, experiencing her terrifying wrath?

Forget it… Ling Mo shivered and quickly dismissed this plan in his mind.

“The main reason isn’t even that. The key point is, this is my secret…” Ling Mo defended himself in his heart.

The reason wasn’t wrong, either. Besides Ye Lian and the others, Ling Mo wasn’t going to share this secret with anyone.

Even if the other party could accept such a terrifying fact and was willing to keep it secret, Ling Mo could use unconventional methods to extract the information he wanted from someone’s mind. So, it was possible that someone else could do the same.

For Ling Mo, some secrets, once revealed, would be a disaster for both parties.

But clearly, Lucy hadn’t thought that far. From her abnormal behavior just now, it was evident she had tried everything and had no choice but to seek Ling Mo’s help.

Even so, she had been hesitating for a long time without explaining the situation…

After Ling Mo pointed it out directly, she stopped being concerned about herself and instead focused entirely on Ling Mo.

“What exactly are you trying to say? Can you finish already!” Lucy urged Ling Mo anxiously.

“Oh… I was organizing my thoughts…” Ling Mo came back to his senses and slowly said, “Think about it, if you had been infected with a regular zombie virus, you would have mutated by now, right? There’s no way it would have dragged on this long…”

“You know when I got infected?” Lucy suddenly became sharp.

“Damn!” Ling Mo cursed internally, then said, “It’s simple. If it hadn’t been a long time, you wouldn’t have told me voluntarily.”

Lucy stared at him for a while, feeling his heartbeat, and her expression seemed to ease a bit: “You go on.”

“In any case… you don’t need to worry. Your condition is fine, and no matter what, your mind won’t get infected. But…” Ling Mo scratched his head and smiled, “Can you give me some of your blood?”

“For what?”

Lucy immediately took a step back, watching Ling Mo warily.

Although what Ling Mo said seemed logical, Lucy wasn’t ready to accept it so quickly; she needed time to process.

Ling Mo understood this very well, as he was also processing this bombshell…

“For nothing… I just want to run a detailed test on you.” Ling Mo waved the booklet in his hand.

Lucy had flipped through it before and knew roughly what it contained, so she didn’t doubt Ling Mo’s words.

Besides, Ling Mo’s heartbeat was quite normal…

Actually, Lucy didn’t know that although Ling Mo was telling the truth, he was using simple words to mislead her.

What he said and what she understood were entirely different things…

Shing!

Lucy drew a small dagger from behind her waist, twirled it in her hand, and said, “Where do I cut?”

“Uh… you don’t have to be so bold…”

Ling Mo looked a bit uncomfortable, and then pulled out a disposable syringe from his backpack.

After surviving in the apocalypse for so long, anyone would have picked up some medical knowledge, and Ling Mo was no exception.

With Ling Mo holding her arm, focusing on drawing blood from less than half a foot away, and even gently blowing on it to ask if it hurt, Lucy felt as if something were being drawn out from her heart along with her blood.

“Alright, hold this. Oh, never mind, you’ve stopped bleeding. Your coagulation is fast…”

Just after capping the needle, Ling Mo noticed something was off.

“Why are you looking at me like… ah!”

Before he could finish speaking, Lucy suddenly lunged at him, knocking him to the ground with a “thud.”

With his hindbrain hitting the ground, Ling Mo immediately felt dizzy. Before he could react, Lucy’s lips were already on his.

Lucy clumsily grabbed and scratched at Ling Mo, pressing her lips against his, using one hand to pin his shoulder down.

She wasn’t sure what had come over her, maybe realizing while Ling Mo was drawing her blood that she was indeed okay.

This man seemed indifferent to her, but he had been keeping an eye on her all along.

Even if he wouldn’t say how he figured it out… did that matter? The important thing was that he was paying attention to her!

Lucy was thrilled and excited, feeling a sense of relief and survival.

This feeling, along with an indescribable emotion, led to her impulsive action.

However, less than two seconds after kissing Ling Mo, Lucy stiffened all over.

“Ahhh! Lulu, what are you doing?! You’re not a perverted woman!”

Lucy quickly let go of Ling Mo and tried to get up.

At this moment, Ling Mo also started to come out of his dazed state: “You were too intense… Ow! My head… Wait, what were you just doing to me?”

Ling Mo had just lifted his head when Lucy’s face suddenly zoomed in right in front of him.

“Thump!”

Their foreheads collided with a dull thud, and Ling Mo’s vision went dark. After shaking his head a bit, he fell back again.

“Huff! Huff!”

Lucy panted heavily, looking at Ling Mo lying on the ground.

He hadn’t completely fainted, but since Lucy was a superhuman with enhancement abilities and had undergone mutation, her headbutt was like being hit by a hammer for an ordinary person.

The fact that he wasn’t bleeding could only be attributed to his good skin defenses…

Realizing she had used too much force, Lucy quickly shook Ling Mo, “Hey! Hey! Are you okay? I was just… I was just too nervous! Are you alright?”

“Gulu gulu…” Ling Mo mumbled some unintelligible sounds.

“Good, you’re okay.” Lucy gave Ling Mo an anxious look, then picked him up and dragged him to the bed.

After tossing Ling Mo onto the bed, Lucy paused for two minutes and decided to make it look like he was sleeping.

Shing!

She pulled off his belt.

“Gulu gulu…”

While Ling Mo muttered incoherently, his T-shirt was also removed.

Lucy then ruffled Ling Mo’s hair and pulled the blanket over him, creating the illusion that he was asleep.

“Neither muscular nor chiseled; his face isn’t even that extraordinarily handsome, and with his eyes closed, he’s utterly plain…” Lucy stood by the bed scrutinizing Ling Mo, then touched her own lips and shook her head, “Why do I even like him? Why, why! Ah!”

After stamping her foot in frustration, Lucy placed the syringe on the table and quickly sneaked out.

However, she didn’t notice that Ling Mo was still holding a small piece of chain.

On one end of the chain, there was a tiny cross…

She also didn’t notice that on the opposite high-rise building, through the bullet hole Ling Mo had earlier created, a shadowy figure was standing.

Those eyes were fixed on Ling Mo lying on the bed…
