Chapter Twenty-Six: A Decomposing Body
Lu Xin's mutation, this result did not surprise Ling Mo, but his move of capturing Xia Na and making a threat clearly showed that he was still rational.
This made Ling Mo extremely interested in this point. You must know that his greatest wish is that Ye Lian can regain his senses as soon as possible, but except after the last evolution, Ye Lian showed a little sign of self-awareness, there was no further change.
This made Ling Mo a little frustrated, although he knew that this was not a problem that could be solved overnight, he still immediately started hunting mutant zombies, hoping that by continuously promoting Ye Lian's evolution, she would be able to recover her true mind sooner.
But the strangeness on Lu Xin's body made Ling Mo feel that he might be able to get some new clues from this Lu Xin!
As long as there is a possibility, Ling Mo doesn't want to give up, not to mention that Xia Na was also arrested by Lu Xin, and this second person also threatened him by name. For Ling Mo, a mutated zombie was not very threatening at all, and Lu Xinman thought that he could take revenge on himself by turning from a mouse into a sick cat, which was too naΓ―ve.
"Brother Ling! Please, we have a friendship when we fight side by side along the way, please ......" Liu Yuhao pleaded again, his expression becoming more and more anxious.
"Where are they?" Ling Mo made up his mind and asked.
Liu Yuhao was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly dragged Ling Mo down: "It's in the boys' dormitory building!" Hurry up, I'm afraid that Lu Xin will suddenly lose her mind, and Xia Na will be dead by then! β
"That's right!" Ling Mo's scalp was also tight, and his feet hurriedly sped up. And Ye Lian naturally followed closely under his control.
Liu Yuhao is eager to save people, although his physical strength is exhausted, his running speed is not slow, Ling Mo and Ye Lian are even more relaxed when they follow behind, but it is Wang Cheng, who has already gasped like a cow, if it weren't for saving his life, it is estimated that he would have fallen down by now. But the people in front of him didn't stop and wait for him......
Therefore, when Wang Cheng looked at the backs of the three people in front of him, his eyes were also a little unkind, but he quickly covered up this strange color.
Several zombies also appeared on the road leading to the boys' dormitory, all attracted by the fresh corpses on the ground. And Ling Mo also had an unexpected discovery, although these ordinary zombies did not attack their own kind, when a zombie corpse appeared, they would eat it......
These zombies that appeared in front of the boys' dormitory were eating around the zombie corpses on the ground, if it weren't for the corpses' heads still intact, he could see the blood-red eyes at a glance, Ling Mo couldn't believe that what his eyes saw was real.
I see...... But in this way, wouldn't there be more mutated zombies?! Even the zombies as a whole will slowly evolve stronger and stronger!
Although their evolution speed is far less than that of the mutated zombies produced by fighting each other in a closed environment, this overall advantage of slow evolution will gradually manifest itself.
"it!" Ling Mo secretly scolded angrily in his heart, and at the same time waved his short knife, and pounced on these zombies who had already rushed towards him. Relying on the combination of manipulation ability and his increasingly proficient attack skills, these zombies were all brought down by him in just a blink of an eye.
It is estimated that these zombie corpses will also attract similar food...... But as a survivor, how can I have the time and energy to deal with the corpses, and the slow evolution of the zombie group cannot be stopped.
"I didn't expect zombies to eat zombies!"
Ling Mo looked up at the corpse of the zombie that had been gnawed to pieces, and said with a frown.
Liu Yuhao glanced up at Ling Mo with some confusion, and said quite a little reasonably: "Of course they ate it, why did you just know Brother Ling?" β
Ling Mo suddenly closed his mouth helplessly. Liu Yuhao and the others have been living in the zombie pile, and it is not unusual to know this, but Ling Mo was far away from zombies before, and he also controlled the corpse puppets when looking for food. Even if he killed the zombie, he wouldn't run back every once in a while to see what the condition of the corpse was, so naturally he had no way of knowing.
However, this also proves once again that his conjecture is indeed right, and only by improving his strength as soon as possible can he survive in an increasingly severe environment......
After dealing with a few more zombies, Ling Mo and the others finally entered the boys' dormitory.
The narrow hallway of the dormitory is a hell's passage, and both the walls and the ground are splattered with dark brown blood. The half-open and half-closed of some dormitories adds a bit of gloomy atmosphere, and when walking in such a place, you must always pay attention to whether there will be zombies jumping out of the door.
With five floors and a rough estimate of hundreds of dormitories, it stands to reason that it would not be easy to find Lu Xin and Xana.
However, Ling Mo was not worried about this, because he just glanced at it, and immediately found the traces left by Lu Xin when he passed by.
Reaching out and lightly dipping a little fresh blood on the ground, Ling Mo immediately asked, "The wound on Lu Xin's body has collapsed, or is Xia Na injured?" I also saw it on the stairs just now, and I saw it on the road, but because there were zombie corpses nearby, I couldn't be sure. But there was nothing around, and the blood must have been left by one of them. β
"It's Lu Xin." Liu Yuhao hurriedly replied, "I just saw that he was covered in blood, and I don't know what's going on." β
"It's not Xana." Ling Mo nodded thoughtfully, looking in the direction of the bloodstains.
These blood spots, which appeared from time to time, fell on the ground full of brown bloodstains, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find them at a glance, and if it weren't for Ling Mo's keen observation, they wouldn't have noticed these. However, it is estimated that Lu Xin did not mean to hide his traces, Ling Mo just took Liu Yuhao and others up to the third floor along the bloodstains, and saw Lu Xin in the corridor.
It's only been less than two hours since they were separated, and Lu Xin's appearance makes it completely impossible to look at directly!
He used to just feel inflated, but now he's completely disgusting! Not only was the skin on his body scratched to shreds, but it had begun to suppurate, and cloudy pus and blood were dripping down his trouser legs from time to time. Thinking that he had just touched such blood with his hands, Ling Mo wanted to wash his hands quickly.
However, the expression revealed in those bloodshot eyes was still the same as before, arrogant and disgusting.
"Lu Xin! What about Xana! β
As soon as Liu Yuhao saw Lu Xin, he was anxious, if he hadn't been stopped by Ling Mo, it was estimated that he would have rushed up desperately.
Ling Mo felt that Lu Xin's current appearance was very unusual. He didn't want to be a zombie, but more like a little bit of ...... In the rot!
That's right, it's rot! His eyes, the changes in his strength, are all like zombies, but the changes in his body are completely different from zombies. Is it because of the virus that has been directly exposed to mutant zombies, so it can't bear it?
Compared with ordinary zombies, the virus from mutated zombies is more pure, and of course the more virulent!
Lu Xin's change shows that ordinary people will indeed become zombies if they do not die immediately after being infected by the zombie virus. But if you are directly infected by a mutant zombie and suddenly come into contact with a high-purity virus, your body will not be able to bear it.
