Chapter 608 – I Have a Special Sneak Attack Technique

A massive, furry Creature curled up in the corner looked quite like a white furball at first glance… if not for the conspicuous little tail on its backside shaking too much.

“Why do I feel like something’s off with Xiao Bai?” Yu Shiran couldn’t help but inch closer, asking softly.

A few seconds later, the expression on the zombie Loli’s face turned a bit unpleasant. She clenched her fists in frustration and shouted, “Hey! Even though I decided to have it draw the fire first, don’t forget you and I are symbiotes! You could have stopped me! … No, don’t give me that ‘I’m just a dog’ excuse. I’m just a kid!”

“No! I said I’m a genius, but what does being a kid have to do with it? I’m… a little genius!”

Yu Shiran crouched on the ground, making clawing gestures as she “talked to herself” for a bit before looking back at Xiao Bai. “It doesn’t look hurt…”

Xiao Bai did seem a bit out of spirits. Based on observations, it wouldn’t turn into a watery corpse due to the Infection, but considering the mutation beast virus in its body was battling this gooey virus, and a little zombie had just been pulled out from its throat a few minutes ago, its current state was understandable.

Unfortunately, Yu Shiran and Black Silk didn’t know these details, so the zombie Loli quickly drew some different conclusions.

“Shiran, save me, MeGu!”

“MeGu! I’ve got internal injuries!”

“MeGu~”

“No, no.” Yu Shiran quickly shook her head, dismissing these fantasies.

Her expression still involuntarily turned a bit odd. She bit her lip, twisting her fingers.

“No worries, as long as we completely rescue it from that human, we’ll be even!”

She quickly came up with a fitting solution, and thinking of this clearly made Yu Shiran feel much more relaxed.

“Whew! How strange…” The zombie Loli rubbed her left chest, puzzled. “I felt a bit stuffy just now, but now it suddenly feels fine? Isn’t it due to a lack of stamina? Strange…”

Yu Shiran located Xiao Bai’s position, then cautiously glanced around and began to slowly approach along the wall.

The Zombies chasing them were currently engaged in a fight with Ling Mo and the others. Neither side seemed to have the attention to spare to notice her.

Yu Shiran smoothly made her way near Xiao Bai, closing the distance to less than five meters.

Hiding behind a half-empty shelf, she carefully stuck her head out to peek at Ling Mo and the others.

“Haven’t been noticed!”

The zombie Loli grinned mischievously, then turned and signaled to Xiao Bai: “Pst! Pst-pst!”

Xiao Bai alertly lifted its heavy head, lazily glanced in the direction of the sound with drooping eyelids.

“Pst-pst! Over here!”

The zombie Loli waved her hand vigorously, “Shhh! I’m here to rescue you!”

“MeGu?” Xiao Bai shifted its fat rear and tilted its head in confusion.

“Don’t move…” The zombie Loli pressed her hand down to signal it to stay put. She slowly straightened her body, sneaking glances at Ling Mo and the others as she did so.

“Dear comrades, let me lend you a hand.” Yu Shiran smiled wickedly and began rummaging through her backpack.

Being Ling Mo’s companion, the zombie Loli couldn’t escape the fate of also being a carrier of the group’s supplies.

Due to Ling Mo’s caution around Mu Chen and the others, most useful items were actually with Yu Shiran and Xiao Bai.

However, compared to the backpack on Xiao Bai’s back, the one Yu Shiran carried was much smaller in size and weight.

“Hehe, Sausage Humans…”

The zombie Loli quickly pulled out a gleaming Pocket Knife from her bag and set her sights on Ling Mo.

She wasn’t usually one to use weapons, but to deal with Ling Mo now, she decided to make an exception.

“Hmph hmph hmph…”

The zombie Loli gripped the Pocket Knife in one hand, silently hiding and waiting for an opportunity.

To other Zombies, reaching Ling Mo, who was pressed against the wall, hidden behind two Leader-Level female Zombies, and possessing those unpredictable attack methods, seemed nearly impossible.

But from Yu Shiran’s perspective, she could clearly see Ling Mo’s side profile.

Given the short distance between them, Yu Shiran was quite confident she could strike successfully.

Most importantly, Ling Mo would never expect that she had managed to convince Black Silk…

“Hehe, foolish humans, letting a Zombie and a mutation beast stay together all the time, of course the smarter Zombie will win!” Yu Shiran thought coldly to herself.

Meanwhile, the battle ahead was reaching a fever pitch.

The continuous downfall of Zombies didn’t deter the remaining variation Zombies; instead, it intensified their fighting spirit.

Although these were newborn variation Zombies, in terms of power, they were much tougher to handle than regular mutation Zombies.

Of course, in this age dominated by mutation-level beings, surpassing mutation-level wasn’t such an extraordinary thing. At least in terms of numbers, they were still far behind.

What truly made variation Zombies formidable was their growth potential, which was their most powerful weapon in the Zombie horde.

But unfortunately, at this moment, that weapon was useless.

Facing two Leader-Level variation Zombies and a humanoid Tentacle Monster, they wouldn’t have the chance to grow slowly.

“Slash!”

Xia Na’s Scythe made a sweeping cut, intercepting two Zombies that Ling Mo had blocked mid-air and pushing them back again.

As they retreated, Ye Lian swiftly raised her gun and fired two precise shots.

With two muffled bangs, one Zombie’s head disappeared into thin air, blood spurting from its neck like a fountain before it collapsed, while the other lost one of its legs.

The legless Zombie let out howls, still attempting to lunge forward, but it hadn’t yet adapted to moving on one leg. With a single thrust, it knocked over one of its own.

Although it pounced on the wrong target, the Zombie had no intention of letting go.

The intense smell of blood and the shadow of death from massive blood loss drove the legless Zombie into a frenzy.

It directly pinned the unfortunate companion down, reaching for the back of its head.

“Zombies… definitely the most skilled at sabotaging their own kind…” Ling Mo remarked in his spare moment, then praised, “Ye Lian! Great job!”

“Hehe…” Ye Lian pressed her lips together, blinking her large eyes at Ling Mo.

Xia Na, without turning her head, said, “While Nana hasn’t recovered yet… I must say, this is just the harshest survival rule.”

“Is that so…”

Just as she was speaking, the legless Zombie had already grabbed its struggling companion’s arm and forcefully ripped it off.

“Yeah. Humans might think such scenes are terrifying, but for us, sacrificing the weak and a bit of internal conflict can both promote faster and higher-quality evolution for our species.” Xia Na, or rather Black Na, giggled.

Ling Mo was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his disdaining look, “Are you sure they aren’t just doing it for themselves?”

At this point, another two Zombies joined the fray, one gripping the legless Zombie on either side. Without much movement, all that could be seen was blood and flesh splattering wildly.

The pieces of entrails thrown into the air glinted under Ling Mo’s flashlight as they fell with a “splat.” The scene resembled a mad slaughterhouse.

“Ugh…” Xia Na hesitated for a moment, then resignedly said, “Alright, fine, they’re just hungry… and need the virus… But so what! It’s just instinct! And everything I just said was actually what Nana was thinking!”

“Heh, badmouthing her behind her back while she’s unresponsive?” Ling Mo smirked.

“So what? She’s a part of me! Besides, I’m her, she’s me. She was just badmouthing herself…” Black Na started rambling incoherently.

“Still have time to chat, huh…” In the shadows, a pair of red eyes maliciously watched the trio.

“Shing!”

A cold gleam appeared in the air. Accompanied by the Zombie Loli’s mocking laughter, her thin arm drew back, the knife tip pointed at the figure…

“Hehe, though you look fully focused…

She subtly shifted the angle of her knife tip, her gaze moving from Ling Mo to Xia Na.

“I told you I’m smart!”
