But in that moment of daze, a cold light flashed in Ye Lian's eyes, and at the same time, Ling Mo's head throbbed. Fortunately, he quickly came to his senses and regained control of Ye Lian.
Just a slight distraction, and Ye Lian almost broke free from his control, which made Ling Mo feel extremely frightened.
The zombie puppet was still powerless against Ye Lian, and Ling Mo himself was in a tight spot. He didn't want to harm Ye Lian, nor did he want to be killed by her. Now that he had found Ye Lian, he couldn't afford to die. He had to find a way to help her recover.
Ling Mo couldn't stay here for long, so he quickly controlled Ye Lian and headed towards his residence.
In such a densely populated area, it was inevitable to encounter zombies, no matter how careful he was. However, unlike the difficult battles he had faced before, with Ye Lian, the zombies were almost powerless.
In terms of speed and strength, Ye Lian far surpassed the ordinary zombies. Ling Mo had been worried about hurting Ye Lian and was reluctant to control her in battle, but when the zombies appeared, the strong desire to attack conveyed by Ye Lian made Ling Mo feel a surge of heat.
The ferocity he had felt when controlling the zombie puppet was now amplified tenfold.
From the moment Ye Lian rushed out, Ling Mo felt that he was only in partial control of her. When she fought, her instincts were maximally triggered. With Ling Mo's current puppet control ability, he could only maintain a connection with Ye Lian, but couldn't dictate her fighting process.
"I didn't expect her to be this strong..." Ling Mo suddenly felt a sense of crisis. If he didn't improve his own strength as soon as possible, Ye Lian might soon break free from his control. If that happened, not only would he be unable to help her recover, but he might also end up dead at her hands.
Even if he managed to escape by some stroke of luck, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack to find Ye Lian in this big city in the future.
Thinking of this, Ling Mo gritted his teeth, tightened his bone-cutting knife, and rushed directly to Ye Lian's side.
At this moment, there were four zombies around Ye Lian, and she was twisting off the head of one of them. These zombies didn't attack Ye Lian on their own, but when Ling Mo appeared, the other three pounced on him.
It was the first time Ling Mo had dealt with so many zombies, and he was very nervous. But for some reason, the ferocious aura he felt from Ye Lian made him feel a strong desire to fight as he raised the bone-cutting knife.
With a low growl, Ling Mo charged into the middle of the three zombies.
The zombies were strong, and their movements were not as stiff as in the movies, but as creatures that acted purely on instinct, their attack methods were still relatively simple.
When one of the zombies reached out to grab Ling Mo, he suddenly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack of that zombie and at the same time, thrusting the bone-cutting knife into the abdomen of another zombie.
"Puff!"
The sound of a knife piercing flesh was heard, but Ling Mo didn't have time to look at it. He immediately kicked the third zombie.
This zombie was kicked directly in front of Ye Lian. Before it could get up, Ye Lian directly emptied its hindbrain.
The zombie that Ling Mo had just avoided had already come back, and Ling Mo was in real danger at this point.
The knife hadn't been pulled out yet, and the zombie, whose hand was covered in blood, had already reached Ling Mo. Once it grabbed him, it would be almost impossible to break free.
Faced with the threat of death, Ling Mo was not panicked. He pulled his bone-cutting knife forward, and when he felt the zombie being pushed forward by the knife, Ling Mo quickly dodged to the side.
As the two zombies collided, the bone-cutting knife in Ling Mo's hand had already cut open the belly of one of them, and without delay, it was thrust into the hindbrain of the other, and twisted hard.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. When Ling Mo came to his senses from the frenzy, there were only the bodies of the zombies left at the scene.
It was only then that Ling Mo realized that he had not only been calm, but his mental and physical reactions had been highly synchronized. Although this was largely due to the improvement of his mental and physical qualities, the frenzy he had felt also had an impact.
Most importantly, looking at the bodies at his feet, and holding the blood-soaked bone-cutting knife, Ling Mo's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. This wasn't because of fear, but because of excitement...
By this time, Ye Lian had already eaten the gel from the hindbrains of these zombies, and her eyes had become brighter and more agile. If it weren't for the eerie blood-red color, she would have looked almost no different from an ordinary survivor.
For some reason, when Ye Lian changed, Ling Mo also felt a slight change in his body.
Although very subtle, Ling Mo did feel that his strength was much stronger than before, his physical strength had recovered somewhat, and most importantly, the mental connection between himself and Ye Lian had become even closer.
Could it be that because of the mental connection with Ye Lian, he was also affected as she continued to mutate? Besides this, Ling Mo couldn't find a better explanation.
Before this, Ling Mo couldn't be sure whether this change was good or bad. But the changes he felt now made Ling Mo suddenly excited.
It didn't affect his rationality, and he could become stronger with Ye Lian! Ling Mo even began to look forward to further changes. However, he knew that being too hasty was not an option. If he brought any danger to Ye Lian, he would regret it.
On the way back, Ling Mo found a clean dress and a pair of sandals in a clothing store, intending to change the blood-stained clothes on Ye Lian.
He had been fine with the appearance of the zombie puppet before, but Ye Lian had always been very clean. Even if she had become a zombie, he couldn't let her dress like this.
But when he got back to his place, and saw Ye Lian sitting quietly in front of him, Ling Mo didn't know how to proceed!
Whether to control Ye Lian to undress herself, or to do it himself, he couldn't help but wish to see the figure that had appeared countless times in his fantasies...
Before, because of his own inadequate conditions, although Ling Mo liked Ye Lian very much, he had never confessed, and had never thought that there would be any change in his relationship with Ye Lian.
After all, he was just a poor otaku, with a low income, and Ye Lian was the school flower of X City University, with no shortage of suitors with excellent conditions.
But now, because he had to help her change clothes, he had to see her body...
Even though Ye Lian was not rational at this time, Ling Mo still felt a dryness in his mouth.
Looking at the basin of water at his feet, and then at the dirty Ye Lian, Ling Mo hesitated for a long time, and finally slowly reached out...
As each button was unfastened, Ye Lian's delicate and fair skin gradually appeared before Ling Mo's eyes.
Ling Mo, who was burning up, barely suppressed his impulses, and began to wipe Ye Lian's body with a dry towel.
"Calm down, calm down... pushing her down in this situation, is that even human..."
Faced with the bare body of his beloved girl, it would be false to say that he was not tempted, but looking at Ye Lian's emotionless eyes, Ling Mo felt a pang in his heart.
When would Ye Lian be able to regain her rationality...
