Chapter 31: Soberness
In the bedroom, Xia Na was still unconscious, while Ye Lian was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at Xia Na with a pair of surprisingly bright eyes.
Ye Lian naturally didn't eat these ordinary foods, and Ling Mo's actions were just a cover-up.
But since I said that I came in to deliver food, I always have to stay for a while to be normal. During this time, Ling Mo walked over to Xia Na again and carefully observed her reaction.
For a person who had swallowed two pieces of virus gel in a row, Xana's reaction was simply too calm. She breathed steadily, her face was normal, and there was not the slightest expression of pain. But what is certain is that beneath the calm surface, there must be a viral storm raging in Xana's body. But no one knows what will be left for Xana after the storm rages.
After observing Xia Na for more than ten minutes, Ling Mo returned to the living room. At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and for safety, Ling Mo completely lowered the curtains of the balcony, and the door was also blocked with furniture. In this way, even if an accident happens, it can be held up for a while.
Wang Cheng and Liu Yuhao also became nervous, and it was still a little too exciting for them to stay in this completely unfamiliar, uncleaned environment for a night. Who knows when zombies will pass by the door?
"Don't make too much noise." Ling Mo's expression was much calmer, and he only said so lightly.
"Then how to arrange the guard tonight?" Liu Yuhao obviously regarded Ling Mo as his backbone, and after nodding, he immediately asked.
Ling Mo thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's take turns for three hours, Xia Na will be guarded by Ye Lian, and I will watch it when I am on duty." ”
"No, I'll take turns with Wang Cheng. Brother Ling, you and Sister Ye Lian just need to guard Xia Na. Liu Yuhao shook his head slowly and said, "You have to be on duty again, and you have to guard Xia Na, it's too tiring." Wang Cheng and I don't have much to do now, that's all we can do. ”
Wang Cheng also nodded on the side, indicating that he had no objection to this. Seeing that they insisted, Ling Mo had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Actually, it's not an easy thing to do!
As soon as night came, various sounds began to be heard in the dead silence of the building, and even occasionally a voice could be heard overhead! Not to mention some of the commotion coming from outside. Sitting alone in a dark room, listening to all kinds of subtle sounds coming from all directions, the fear in my heart is slowly amplifying little by little, it is simply a kind of chronic torture!
Occasionally, there was a slightly louder sound, and the man on duty jumped up like a frightened bird, and then nervously judged how far away the sound was from his position, and whether it was dangerous......
However, even Wang Cheng felt that even if he stayed alone in the living room and was afraid, it was better than staying with the current Xia Na. Therefore, he not only offered to be on duty in the middle of the night, but even moved a stool and sat closer to the door to avoid hearing anything. After all, out of the basket, he is probably the first to die here.
Although Liu Yuhao was full of worries, he was tired all day and exhausted, so he lay on the sofa and fell asleep in a daze after a while.
Ling Mo moved a sofa chair to the room, sat far away in the corner, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Ling Mo was also tired enough on this day, he couldn't compare with zombies, if he didn't hurry up and rest, his physical strength would not be able to recover. This is the most taboo thing in the last days, after all, you can still fight with a small number of zombies, but when you encounter a large number of zombies, the competition is speed and physical strength.
Although he didn't really fall asleep, during the sleep process, Ling Mo would also fall into a deep sleep for a short time from time to time, and then quickly wake up after a few minutes. This way of sleeping is estimated to have been mastered by people who are struggling to survive in the last days, but Ling Mo is extremely proficient in it. The reason is because of his special ability, the puppet. But the most important thing is that his mental power is stronger than ordinary people, and he has undergone an evolution.
The so-called spiritual power, in Ling Mo's view, is estimated to be a general term for concentration and observation. The ability he has is to divide part of his mental power and use it to control zombies who have no reason and only rely on instinct. It's not easy to do two things, especially when it comes to combat. Life and death fighting, pay attention to the reaction speed of nerves and flesh, and if you don't concentrate, how can you keep up with the movements of zombies?
So at the beginning, Ling Mo manipulated the corpse puppets to fight, and he hid behind the scenes, and later rushed out to fight under the cover of the corpse puppets. And it wasn't until he controlled Ye Lian that Ling Mo began to slowly become proficient in how to cooperate with the corpse puppet. In this process, Ling Mo's spiritual power has been fully honed, so when Ye Lian evolved, the affected Ling Mo also improved his mental power, and even evolved when he tried to control two mutant zombies at the same time.
The evolution of spiritual power was a rather vague concept, and only Ling Mo knew what it was like. To put it simply, when he manipulated Ye Lian before, especially when he controlled her to fight, he always had to be mentally strong, otherwise Ye Lian would easily have a tendency to get out of control. And although Ling Mo's nervous reaction speed was fast, when he transmitted the instructions to Ye Lian, the other party's feedback was always slower. If Ling Mo is compared to a command sending center, then his spiritual power is like a connection hub, and in the process of data transmission, because this connection hub is not strong enough, there is always a delay.
But after the evolution, this connection hub has instantly improved a notch, and the transmission of instructions has become more stable and fast!
For example, at this time, Ye Lian was like a doppelganger in Ling Mo's feelings, and there was no obstacle to control. Of course, Ling Mo didn't really mean to treat her as a clone, in fact, during the battle, Ling Mo had been consciously cultivating his abilities, rather than relying entirely on Ye Lian. Most of the time, he is the main one, and Ye Lian is the auxiliary. Although there is a big difference between ordinary people and zombies, they are not completely impossible to fight.
The reason why zombies are feared is that once they find their prey, they attack wildly, and they will not flinch even if they are seriously injured. And ordinary people are timid, worried about getting hurt, and secondly, when they see zombies, they are timid first, and they fall behind first in momentum. However, for Ling Mo, who has been dealing with zombies and even living in the same room with zombies, zombies are not so scary!
Putting aside the group advantage of zombies, in the case of encountering a single zombie, ordinary people actually have an advantage! Zombies are insanely terrifying because they only have instincts, but that's exactly their shortcoming. Ordinary people, on the other hand, will use skills in battle and will not attack blindly.
However, Ling Mo also knew that this was just a thought, most people still had to huddle together in order to barely survive, because in this kind of big city, there were too many zombies. A madman is not scary, but what if it is a bunch of madmen? Millions of bloodthirsty maniacs roamed the city, what a terrible sight!
Even Ling Mo himself, although he relied on his ability to manipulate puppets and had Ye Lian, a mutated zombie, by his side, he could only flee for his life when he encountered a large number of zombies. Just like at the revolving door of the shopping mall before, even if the group of zombies was killed with the advantage of terrain, there were casualties in the team. And Ling Mo asked himself, in that case, if there were only him and Ye Lian, he would not be able to cope with it. If it weren't for Xana, who was fighting like crazy......
"Huh?"
A strange feeling suddenly and completely woke up Ling Mo, and he suddenly threw away the blanket on his body and stood up, looking at Xia Na who was lying on the bed.
Just now, Xia Na, who was staring at Ye Lian, suddenly opened her eyes strangely......
