Chapter 33: The Survivor Team
After a night of repeating herself and falling into a coma several times on the way, it wasn't until the morning that Xana's condition finally stabilized.
As Ling Mo guessed, the current Xia Na has indeed turned into a zombie, but at the same time she has a trace of sanity. Compared to before, her "schizophrenic" situation has become much better, but it is only much better! The current Xana is still a thin line away from the mutant zombies, but her strength is stronger than that of ordinary zombies.
Ling Mo found a pattern in her "schizophrenia". As long as she doesn't suffer from a crisis, Xana will remain a normal person, although she is a little confused and rarely reacts to people, but she still maintains basic language skills, and occasionally takes the initiative to say a few words. But as soon as she feels that she is in danger, what little sanity she has left will be immediately replaced by instinct, and she will turn into an extremely aggressive zombie.
However, under Ling Mo's control, her emotions gradually became much more stable, and her hostility towards Liu Yuhao and Wang Cheng was not so strong. But because there is a special spiritual connection with Ling Mo, the person Xia Na seems to be closest to is Ling Mo.
For example, right now, Xia Na was looking at Ling Mo with a slight blankness, dragging him with one hand......
"Xana, do you recognize me?" After shouting more than a hundred times in one night, Shana had an impression of her name and would react when she shouted. But for these questions, she was not so much that she didn't understand the meaning, but that she was completely confused, and she didn't know what the other party was asking.
However, Xia Na showed a strong interest in her long knife, and when she saw Xia Na holding the long knife, she was a little confused and stunned for a while, and then suddenly pulled the knife out of the sheath, the momentum was even stronger than the previous Xia Na!
But then she refused to put down the long knife, and Ling Mo always felt that Xia Na, like Ye Lian, should have a chance to fully recover her senses, so she did not forcibly control her to hand over the long knife. It's better to have an obsession than to be completely reduced to a zombie without reason.
It can be said that Xia Na's situation completely strengthened Ling Mo's confidence. Zombies are indeed scary, but it is only a virus that affects zombies. And judging from the current situation, Ling Mo already had a formed idea in his heart. As the virus continues to evolve, the strength of the zombies will also increase, and at the same time, they will gradually grow into sane monsters! Xana's situation illustrates this point! She absorbed too many viruses at one time, which is why she is in this situation, and Ye Lian has also shown signs of regaining her sanity after evolution.
Therefore, unlike Liu Yuhao, who was in a sad mood, Ling Mo was full of energy at this time!
"Brother Ling...... Xia Na is like this now...... "Liu Yuhao didn't dare to get too close to Xia Na now, so he could only sit far away and watch Xia Na's every move. It was not difficult to see from his expression that he was full of doubts at this time, and at the same time felt sorry for Xana.
No normal person wants to become a zombie, even if it's not so thorough......
Ling Mo looked at him deeply and said, "Compared to letting Xia Na die, or becoming like Lu Xin, don't you think the current result is already very fortunate?" ”
"This ......" Liu Yuhao had a look of hesitation on his face, and then nodded heavily, "That's right, it's better to be like this now than to die...... Moreover, at least she will not show ill will towards you, Brother Ling. ”
When he said the sentence zuihou, Liu Yuhao's tone was a little bitter. Ling Mo didn't tell him that he had the ability to manipulate the puppet, so Liu Yuhao thought that Xia Na's closeness to Ling Mo was completely instinctive, but he had no memory of him, a classmate who had been fighting side by side for a long time, which of course made Liu Yuhao extremely depressed.
"Uh......" Ling Mo touched his nose as if disguised, and said, "Maybe, I mean maybe, Xiana will slowly come to her senses." ”
"What?" Liu Yuhao was taken aback, and he couldn't care less about the loss, and suddenly locked his gaze on Ling Mo's face.
Ling Mo said slowly: "You can also see, Xiana is different from ordinary zombies now, it can't be said that she is completely rational, but at least she is not completely controlled by instinct. This condition may not have happened to any zombie...... No matter what, as long as her mind is not completely erased, there is hope for recovery. It's just that this time can be short, or it can be long. ”
Although what he said was all speculation, Liu Yuhao's gaze had become extremely eager!
"It's good to have hope! But...... Now Xiana only recognizes you......" Liu Yuhao became lost again after being excited. With Xana's current condition, he couldn't even get too close to Xana, let alone be like before.
Ling Mo was about to say something, when he suddenly saw Wang Cheng running over, and then stopped at a distance from Xia Na, and said with a look of surprise: "There are people on the street!" There are survivors! ”
"Survivors?"
After following Wang Cheng to the balcony, Ling Mo looked out through the crack in the curtain, and sure enough, he saw the survivor he said at a glance.
However, as soon as he glanced at it, Ling Mo couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes. There's not just one survivor here, but a whole team of survivors!
There were about 20 young men and women, all carrying various backpacks and weapons in their hands. They seemed to have come out early in the morning to search for food, but at this time they were besieged by more than a dozen zombies. Ling Mo looked at it for a while, and found that although this group of people were all ordinary people, there were several young men with very good skills in it, and they were more ruthless than the others.
But what caught Ling Mo's attention the most was their means of dealing with zombies. The young men rushed to the front, and the others immediately dispersed in twos and threes, using cars and other cover to maneuver with the zombies. Although their combat effectiveness is not strong, they form horns for each other and take care of each other, even if they can't confront the zombies head-on like those young men, but they have eliminated the remaining zombies one by one in the process of wandering.
Seeing this, Ling Mo couldn't help but want to shout hello, in his opinion, such a team was the real survivor team.
But after all, their combat effectiveness is insufficient, and in such a place full of zombies, they will soon fall into danger. Attracted by the smell of blood, more and more zombies came out from all directions and pounced on them frantically. And after these people held on for a while, they had to fight and retreat, Zuihou actually retreated into this community, and came directly towards the building where Ling Mo and the others were!
Soon, there was a muffled "bang" sound downstairs, and it was clear that these people had rushed into the safety staircase. But then a loud bang was heard, and it was the zombies who were frantically banging on the staircase door. It won't be long before the staircase door will be knocked open, and then a group of zombies will swarm in, and Ling Mo and the others hiding in the house may also be in danger.
At this time, the best way to hide in the house was to keep silent, but with the sound of chaotic footsteps, Ling Mo suddenly felt a sense of depression.
These people actually went upstairs and rushed into the corridor on the second floor!
