Chapter 66 – This Part of You Will Mutate

This group of people seemed to be out searching for supplies too, and they were carrying quite a bit. Although their haul couldn’t compare to Ling Mo’s, considering their numbers and abilities, it was pretty decent.

Their heartlessness and cunning were evident during the fight. If they hadn’t crossed paths with Ling Mo, they might have survived much longer.

Aside from their weapons, which Ling Mo found unworthy, he gathered everything useful from them.

To his surprise, the Bald Man had a Swiss Army knife on him. Such a versatile tool was quite valuable in the Apocalypse. Ling Mo unceremoniously took it from the man’s waist and slipped it into his own pocket.

He also found a pack of cigarettes in the Bald Man’s pocket, which he gladly accepted.

As he searched the corpses, Ling Mo couldn’t help but reflect. Although he possessed the Puppet Control Ability, which made his survival easier compared to the average Survivor, he still flirted with death daily while hunting Mutation Zombies.

The only time Ling Mo felt somewhat relaxed was when he was toying with those two mutated female zombies. Otherwise, he remained extremely cautious.

When collecting supplies, he mainly focused on necessities. Luxuries like cigarettes never caught his attention.

“Scum will always be scum. Instead of figuring out how to survive better, they waste their energy on finding ways to indulge.”

Ling Mo scoffed. The Apocalypse was harsh, and maintaining the right mindset was crucial. While smoking might be a minor issue, venting their frustrations on women was utterly contemptible.

Ling Mo had recently made considerable gains, and now he had stumbled upon another unexpected windfall. His large backpack was already stuffed to the brim, and to lighten his load, he had to abandon some inferior items.

However, in Ling Mo’s eyes, these supplies couldn’t replace the loss of Xia Na’s Long Knife.

Clashing with an axe had caused a nick on the blade of Xia Na’s Long Knife. Although it was still usable for now, its lifespan would likely be significantly shortened.

He needed to find another knife for Xia Na as soon as he had the chance…

Finding a suitable weapon in the Apocalypse was no easy task.

The weapons carried by the Bald Man’s group varied in quality. Apart from the axe, which had decent killing power, the other weapons were barely effective against Zombies.

This situation was largely due to knife control regulations. While kitchen knives like Kitchen Knives and Boning Knives could be easily found in supermarkets, asking ordinary people to fight Zombies up close with kitchen knives was unrealistic. Even if someone had the guts to get close, the killing power of a kitchen knife was limited against a Zombie that would keep attacking unless decapitated.

That was why Ling Mo had risked going to Wang’s Handmade Knife and Sword Shop to find a suitable weapon. His current Short Knife, though only about a foot long, was sharp and of high quality, matching his current skill level perfectly.

A good horse needs a good saddle!

“Why don’t you use my Dagger for now?” Ling Mo suggested, about to hand his Dagger to Xia Na.

To his surprise, Xia Na shook her head. “No, I have memories. This knife is important to me. The crack doesn’t matter; I can still use it. As for your knife, it’s made by my sister. I don’t like what she makes.”

“Alright…” Ling Mo was speechless. Even after turning into a Zombie, she still didn’t like Wang Lin…

The two sisters were quite different. Xia Na was strong-willed and fierce, while Wang Lin was cold on the outside but warm on the inside鈥”a kind-hearted girl before she mutated.

It was quite a coincidence that such contrasting personalities appeared in the two of them…

Returning upstairs, Ling Mo noticed a trail of muddy footprints in the third-floor hallway. It seemed this group had carefully searched the entire building.

However, they hadn’t discovered Ling Mo’s disguise, so his room remained untouched, and the remaining bottles of purified water were still there.

This outcome slightly improved Ling Mo’s mood, but the thought of the corpses downstairs made him lose interest in staying here.

Those bodies would attract more and more Zombies, which would make the situation troublesome. Moreover, the appearance of the Bald Man’s group indicated that this building was quite conspicuous. It was fine for a temporary stop, but staying here long-term would inevitably lead to more trouble.

In the past few days, Ling Mo had thoroughly familiarized himself with the surrounding area, knowing which route would be the safest to approach X City University.

Of course, he had no clue what the situation inside the university was like. Judging by the surroundings, it was likely to be pretty bad. The environment was complex, and there were many Zombies, making it difficult to come and go freely.

However, obstacles that would deter most Survivors were not particularly challenging for Ling Mo. With his Puppet Control Ability, he could use Zombies to scout the way, significantly reducing the danger.

Hence, Ling Mo quickly decided to head to X City University the next day!

But before leaving, he didn’t want to waste the purified water and gas that he couldn’t take with him.

A hot shower? Or maybe a romantic bath together…

In the Apocalypse, a Survivor who could bathe in water was already doing well. Being able to take a hot shower was downright luxurious.

And having two beautiful women to help scrub his back? No one had likely experienced such luxury yet.

However, when Ling Mo, smiling contentedly, sat in front of the two beauties, he realized the experience wasn’t as wonderful as he’d imagined…

“Gently, be good, a little gentler… Ah! It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt much…”

“You broke it! You broke it! Don’t squeeze there!”

“This part doesn’t need washing, really!”

Having two female Zombies, who had no sense of restraint and were filled with curiosity, help him bathe resulted in a painful yet somewhat enjoyable experience…

The next morning, Ling Mo was still haunted by the previous night’s ordeal.

When Ling Mo woke up, Xia Na immediately turned her gaze toward him. Her curious eyes traveled down Ling Mo’s face and stopped at his most important area.

Ling Mo’s scalp tingled, and he instinctively covered his crotch.

“When will you take another bath?” Xia Na asked expectantly.

After becoming a Zombie, Xia Na gradually regained most of her memories, but as a Zombie, she didn’t have the same concepts as an ordinary girl. Simply put, on some common-sense issues, Xia Na was like a blank slate.

Originally, Ling Mo didn’t plan on stripping himself naked, but Xia Na and Ye Lian impatiently pulled the towel from his waist.

Seeing Ling Mo’s body, which was structurally different from theirs, both female Zombies became somewhat eager.

Ye Lian’s reaction was relatively subdued because what she had awakened was not memories but her true consciousness as a Mutation Zombie. She only looked at Ling Mo’s body with mild curiosity and reached out to touch it a few times.

But Xia Na was different. She had many memories in her mind. Although her way of thinking was different from humans, the more she knew, the more mischievous she became.

“I remember what this is called, but it’s my first time seeing it in person. They say it can change shape…”

Xia Na was extremely curious about Ling Mo’s penis and did not hesitate to reach out her Zombie hand to touch it.

A Mutation Zombie who couldn’t control her strength, holding a penis and immediately getting excited into a Zombie state, was a real ordeal for Ling Mo!

Ling Mo had once entertained a wicked thought, such as using his Puppet Control Ability to make these two beautiful Mutation Zombies “serve” him…

But the moment he covered his crotch, Ling Mo sobered up. To enjoy life, he had to become stronger first!

Only with sufficiently strong Psychic Power could he ensure that these two female Zombies remained calm when facing unfamiliar situations.

The only fortunate thing was that neither of them seemed to regard Ling Mo as prey…
