Chapter 669 – A Dazed Kiss

Bang! Bang!

The door kept shaking incessantly, accompanied by the suppressed growls of the female zombies.

“Sigh…”

Ling Mo sat back down again, clasping his hands on his knees, his brows furrowed in deep concern.

Seeing how anxious he was, Xiao Bai suddenly stretched its head over and nudged Ling Mo’s body a couple of times.

“Seems like you learned all this from Black Silk, right?” Ling Mo said, patting its head.

Although the difference wasn’t too significant, Xiao Bai did seem a lot smarter after its evolution.

This gave Ling Mo a bit of comfort…

At this moment, in one of the rooms, Li Yalin was leaning against the wall, her amber eyes appearing more intense than usual.

She stood there quietly, like a Femme Fatale lurking in the shadow, her cold yet captivating eyes fixed on the dim light ahead.

Her body also trembled slightly, as if something was brewing and fermenting inside her.

Suddenly, her eyes widened, the amber hue in her pupils gradually spreading until it completely covered the red parts. These eyes reflected a cold light, resembling those of a real poisonous snake, carrying a deadly danger.

At the same time, Li Yalin’s lips parted slightly, her expression becoming bewildered.

In her mind, countless scenes flickered past.

Some were from after she became a zombie, and some from when she was still human.

These memories intertwined, like countless threads tangled into a massive knot before her.

She raised her arm to hold her head, frowning slightly, “So annoying, so many…”

“Yalin’s psychic fluctuations…”

Ling Mo’s expression changed, but he quickly restrained his urge to go and check on her.

This was also a part of the evolution; it couldn’t be interfered with or halted…

As the fluctuations from Li Yalin grew more intense, Ling Mo felt even more pressured.

The feeling of something about to break free washed over him once again, making his heart tense up.

“Stay focused, don’t get distracted…”

Ling Mo took a deep breath and quickly began to focus his attention.

However, just as he managed to steady his mind, Xia Na had a reaction as well.

Xia Na’s evolution was comparatively complex. Her situation was similar to Yu Shiran’s, requiring evolution for “two people” simultaneously.

At this moment, Black Na took control of the main body, while the spiritual body, Nana, separated.

One black, one red, one solid, one ethereal—two figures standing together, both breathing heavily.

The spiritual body was influenced by the main body’s evolution; the two were actually interconnected.

However, the experiences of Nana, the spiritual body, and Black Na, the main body, were entirely separate.

Nana endured mental changes, while Black Na underwent physical ones.

But this didn’t lessen anything; in fact, it intensified the stimulation for both of them.

“Hang in there, my other half.” Nana’s “body” fluctuated while she shouted in her mind.

Controlled by Black Na, the main body’s hands had already gouged ten marks into the wall with knife-like nails. Upon hearing Nana’s words, a brief clarity returned to her.

“Right, Nana, the spiritual body, possesses humanity and won’t be affected by the awakening of zombie instincts during evolution. With her helping herself, Xia Na will be fine…”

Ling Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Whether or not they could advance, further evolution was at least assured.

He sensed Black Silk next. This mysterious creature, which could no longer be called just a mutation dog, was evolving along with its symbiote, Yu Shiran.

Black Silk’s evolution had always been bizarre, and this time was no exception.

Apart from sensing that the psychic link between the two still existed, there was nothing else notable.

Yet, Ling Mo could guess that inside that room, there was probably another Cocoon, wasn’t there?

With past experiences, Ling Mo had developed an immunity to the strange mutations Black Silk might undergo.

He couldn’t help but wonder how odd it might be this time…

When Ling Mo finally turned his attention to Ye Lian, he was momentarily stunned.

This…

Ling Mo sprang to his feet in an instant, rushing to the door of the room where Ye Lian was. He swung the door open swiftly.

As Ling Mo entered, a beam of light shot into the room, illuminating Ye Lian.

She was standing there, head tilted back with her eyes closed, looking as if she was enjoying the gentle breeze.

Her hands were spread open, fingers slightly curved. Despite her stillness and the delicate appearance of her fingers, an underlying Frenzy was apparent, sending chills down one’s spine.

A strong viral aura emanated from Ye Lian. At this moment, she was a bizarre blend of violence and grace.

While one could feel the terrifying Zombie aura from her, her peaceful face and natural, beautiful posture made her look like an ordinary, pretty girl.

This contradictory mix on her didn’t seem out of place. Instead, it left Ling Mo momentarily awestruck.

For some reason, Ye Lian’s expression made Ling Mo feel that she was no longer just a typical Zombie. She seemed like a new kind of Zombie—one endowed with intelligence, capable of thinking and experiencing human emotions…

“Could it be…”

Ling Mo stared unblinkingly at Ye Lian.

Unlike Ye Lian’s calm demeanor, Ling Mo’s heart was pounding wildly.

Tension, excitement…

He held his breath, anxiously awaiting the outcome.

It seemed incredible, but… he hoped his guess was correct!

After what felt like an eternity, Ye Lian slowly lowered her head and gradually opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, Ling Mo felt as if he were locked onto by something terrifying.

A massive pressure weighed down on him. Ling Mo was appalled to discover that he couldn’t move!

No, it wasn’t that he couldn’t move; it was just that the pressure was so immense that he felt if he moved even an inch, he would be torn apart instantly.

Though it was only a brief moment, by the time Ling Mo regained his senses, his forehead was already drenched in cold sweat.

“Whew!”

Ling Mo let out a long breath.

The intensity of the threat he felt from Ye Lian was truly terrifying!

Moreover, although Ye Lian’s expression and appearance seemed unchanged, Ling Mo couldn’t shake the feeling that something was different about her previously vacant eyes.

There was now something in those crimson eyes that hadn’t been there before…

But what exactly was it?

Ling Mo didn’t dare approach recklessly at this moment; he could sense that Ye Lian’s evolution wasn’t over yet!

This was the truly critical period for her!

Whether the virus could stimulate the viral hive to undergo a mutation and complete the advancement hinged on this step!

Though Ye Lian’s eyes were open, she stood completely still.

Her eyes, which were originally a distinct red and white like a typical Leader-Level Zombie, now seemed to be dripping with blood, the color growing deeper and deeper.

Under Ling Mo’s horrified gaze, her eyes gradually turned a purplish-red, exuding an aura of uncanny dread.

Suddenly, her body convulsed, her lips parting slightly as she let out a low growl: “Ah!”

The sound wasn’t loud, but it made Ling Mo’s body tense instantly.

The roars of beasts each have their own unique terror, with lion roars or tiger growls possibly being the most frightening to other creatures.

Ye Lian’s growl was akin to this…

The difference was that her voice carried an ethereal quality.

Only in Zombie species could a voice so delicate produce such a terrifying roar…

At the moment she made that sound, Ling Mo couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.

Not only was the previous cumulative effect magnified several times, but the chaos he had been suppressing also surged up again.

“Of all times… that Black Widow!”

Ling Mo’s vision blurred, and if he hadn’t been gritting his teeth, he might have collapsed.

Through the pain, he vaguely saw Ye Lian walking towards him.

As her beautiful face drew closer, a sudden cool softness pressed against his lips.

“Uh?”

Ling Mo’s eyes widened in disbelief. How could a Zombie, supposedly losing rationality during evolution, actively come up and kiss him?
