Chapter 664 – How to Guide Zombies on Hunting

“Alright, let’s find a place to stay first.”

Ling Mo looked around for a while and suddenly suggested.

Ye Lian and the others had no objections, but Mu Chen found it somewhat perplexing.

“It’s still early…” he tried to protest.

“It’s decided,” Ling Mo said firmly, as if he hadn’t heard Mu Chen.

“We need to keep moving…”

“Look, there’s a hotel right ahead!” Xia Na, with her sharp eyes, pointed at a building in the distance.

From a distance, the building indeed had a small billboard on top, but with Ling Mo’s current vision, he could only make out a vague outline. As for Mu Chen, he squinted hard, but could only see the rough shape of the sign.

“Alright, let’s go there,” Ling Mo quickly decided.

Mu Chen almost bit his tongue: “You can’t even see it clearly! You’re really just going?”

On the way, Ling Mo explained his reasoning-

Xu Shuhan needed a moment of peace.

Rushing non-stop, they only encountered gruesome scenes of fighting zombies. By the time they reached Niepan headquarters, Xu Shuhan wouldn’t be able to hold on.

“Is that so?!”

Mu Chen felt deeply embarrassed for not thinking of that himself…

“So as not to waste time, while she’s resting, I’ll take Ye Lian and the others to clear the road,” Ling Mo continued.

“Okay!” Before Ling Mo could finish, Mu Chen started nodding vigorously.

That made sense! It was rare for Ling Mo to be so thorough…

“Then you’ll be responsible for guarding,” Ling Mo added.

“Alright!… Wait, what?!” Mu Chen nodded, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why was such a dangerous task handed to him?!

And he had agreed without even thinking!

“Wait, wait, wait…” Mu Chen looked like he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

“Keep your word…” Ling Mo patted Mu Chen’s shoulder.

Given their speed and the fact that most of the nearby zombies had been corralled into shops by Ling Mo, it only took four or five minutes to reach the hotel.

Ling Mo pushed Mu Chen inside and pulled Xu Shuhan over as well. “Good luck…”

“…” Mu Chen was on the verge of tears.

“She’s quite calm now,” Ling Mo said, glancing at Xu Shuhan. “And I’ll be there to provide protection.”

Xu Shuhan was indeed quite calm at the moment; aside from staring with her eyes wide open, she seemed to have regained her sanity. But those eyes were a clear warning, telling them to keep their distance.

Turning around, Ling Mo noticed that the hotel was in a secluded spot, seemingly free of zombies.

But when Mu Chen turned back, only Xu Shuhan was left in front of him.

“Um…”

Mu Chen nervously swallowed and whispered in a placating tone, “Can we talk about this?”

“Ahh…” Xu Shuhan suddenly let out a howl.

Mu Chen was so startled that he trembled. In his fright, he noticed that Xu Shuhan’s hands were tied behind her back.

“Thank goodness…” Mu Chen sighed in relief.

But after a few seconds, he roared, “Is this what you call a safety measure?!”

In an alley outside the hotel, Li Yalin was looking away from the hotel, asking, “Ling Mo, that human…”

Xia Na interrupted, “Ling-Ge, it’s not just about clearing the road, is it?”

“That’s right,” Ling Mo admitted with a nod.

“Are we out of Gel?” Li Yalin asked, licking her lips in anticipation.

Ling Mo shook his head. “For daily consumption, I still have enough. But… I want to help you all advance further.”

Regular consumption of Gel was more like fueling their bodies, supporting their daily needs.

Although a small amount of the virus could be absorbed over time, leading to evolution, this process was too slow for Ling Mo.

The three of them were all Leader-Level and had been in this tier for a long time, stabilizing their foundations.

Even if they couldn’t directly break through the Leader-Level, it was best to further enhance their strength.

That way, Ling Mo would feel more confident when facing Niepan headquarters.

Although Ling Mo didn’t say it out loud, he was actually quite wary of the Niepan headquarters.

Niepan was a massive entity, whereas he was just an ordinary survivor.

The difference in power between the two was like comparing a sword to a toothpick.

But even a toothpick, if used in the right place, could have unexpected effects…

“Of course, before that, I need to forge the best possible toothpick,” Ling Mo thought to himself.

However, expecting all three of his zombie girls to evolve simultaneously was unrealistic.

As long as their overall strength could be elevated, at least they would have better self-preservation capabilities…

“That sounds great!”

Xia Na immediately nodded, eagerly rubbing her hands together.

Li Yalin and Ye Lian exchanged glances, seemingly not quite understanding what he meant.

Seeing one of them excited while the other two looked puzzled, Ling Mo couldn’t help but smile.

“Sausage Humans!”

As they turned a corner, a white blur suddenly lunged at them, accompanied by a little girl’s shout.

The large white figure skidded to a halt less than two meters from Ling Mo, stopping instantly without any hesitation.

“MeGu!”

The mutation panda wobbled its head, trying to nuzzle Ling Mo with its face.

“You’ve ruined the National Treasure’s image,” Ling Mo said with a smile, patting its head.

“MeGu!” Xiao Bai proudly continued to shake its head. It suddenly sat down, then tilted its head to the side.

“What’s it trying to do?” Ling Mo watched in confusion, then became worried about Xiao Bai’s strange actions.

What could it possibly achieve like this?

“I told you, you can’t roll!”

Yu Shiran shouted, jumping off Xiao Bai.

Trailing behind, Yu Shiran looked evidently annoyed.

Standing red-eyed in front of Ling Mo, she seemed ready to complain profusely.

But at that moment, she hesitated for a long time, then finally stammered, “What’s going on?”

The zombie loli didn’t seem to know how to start talking…

Ling Mo explained his idea once again, clapping his hands at the end. “Now that everyone is here, we can start. Just one rule: no making a bloody mess.”

He felt a bit odd after saying that.

A human instructing a group of zombies and mutation beasts on how to hunt…

“Oh well, it’s something I should be used to by now,” Ling Mo thought, shaking his head and then waving his hand. “Let’s begin!”

Compared to Ling Mo, these zombies and mutation beasts had far stronger hunting instincts and ambush abilities.

They could locate zombies that had already formed virus gel much faster than Ling Mo, silently approaching them and then, in a split second, seizing the opportunity to strike by grabbing their throats.

With just a firm squeeze of their fingers, those terrifying zombies—fearsome to ordinary humans—would become helpless lambs in the seemingly delicate hands of these hunters.

After capturing these zombies, they only needed to bring them to a nearby shop quickly and accurately extract the brain gel as swiftly as possible.

Initially, Ling Mo thought this would take quite a bit of time, but once Ye Lian and the others started, he realized he had severely underestimated them.

Being Leader-Level, they might not be as wildly brutal as wild zombies, but their actions were more precise and efficient.

Moments after announcing the start, Ling Mo already found himself holding six virus gels of various sizes and purities.

“At this rate… the Senior Zombies in this area really aren’t enough for hunting,” Ling Mo thought, holding the gels and looking ahead.

…

“Whoosh!”

Li Yalin silently appeared behind a zombie, her right hand extending at an incredible angle, seizing the zombie’s neck before it could react.

As the zombie’s arm started to swing, Li Yalin’s wrist twisted slightly.

It seemed like she applied no force, but the zombie’s neck immediately tilted to the side in an eerie droop. Its blood-red eyes widened, already devoid of life.
