Chapter 9: Encountering Survivors

When Ling Mo led Ye Lian out towards the main city area, he realized that Ye Lian's change in consciousness was not just reflected in her self-action, but also in the amplification of her instincts.

In the face of ordinary zombies, Ye Lian's attitude was like facing insignificant lower creatures, and her killing methods were more clean and neat. Her eyes looked like she was stepping on insignificant bugs. Her attack speed had also increased a lot. If she was like a cheetah before, now she was a humanoid cheetah.

Although the virus made Ye Lian look more like a normal person on the outside, her behavior was becoming more and more like a real beast, especially when hunting weak creatures. Perhaps for Ye Lian, ordinary zombies were just weak scum.

Ling Mo couldn't help but wonder what Ye Lian's reaction would be when facing humans... But under his control, he could prevent Ye Lian from attacking at will.

Riding a bicycle with Ye Lian, they quickly passed through the streets and alleys. If it weren't for the zombies everywhere, Ling Mo would have enjoyed this scene.

However, the good times didn't last long. Shortly after entering the city area, Ling Mo found trouble had come looking for him.

To be precise, he ran into two survivors who were being surrounded and attacked by zombies.

The two survivors, a man and a woman, looked young. From their backpacks, it was easy to see that they were out looking for food. The place where they were fighting was outside the door of a supermarket. With the supermarket's door as cover, the two of them barely withstood the zombies' crazy attacks, but more and more zombies around them made them appear to be in danger.

These zombies were already fast and powerful, and the glass door of the supermarket was quickly smashed to pieces. The two of them had to retreat inside and fight the zombies with the help of shelves and counters.

Ling Mo saw this scene from a distance and originally wanted to avoid it, but he was attracted by the girl's gaze.

The girl held a long knife and always had a smile on her face. Every time there was a crisis, her sudden and rapid strikes could solve all the zombies that rushed towards her. Her speed was even comparable to Ye Lian's. If Ling Mo hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there was such a girl with extraordinary skills.

The most important thing was her smile. If an ordinary girl encountered this situation, even if she wasn't scared silly, she would definitely be pale and trembling. But looking at her expression, it seemed like she was enjoying the fighting process, even though she was clearly in a disadvantaged situation.

Even if she was strong, facing more and more zombies, her physical strength would be exhausted sooner or later. Ling Mo could even see that her instant acceleration attack method was not only a great consumption of physical strength, but also a challenge to her concentration.

But in this situation, she could still be so calm...

Ling Mo even had a moment of doubt. Could this girl have a special ability like him?

This idea came to mind, and Ling Mo suddenly became very curious about this girl, but he looked at Ye Lian in the back seat and decided it was best to mind his own business. If the other party was an ordinary survivor, it would be fine, but if they really had special abilities, they might see through Ye Lian's true identity, which would be troublesome...

But just as he was about to ride away, he heard a loud shout from the direction of the supermarket, "Brother! Help!"

Hearing this shout, Ling Mo suddenly felt a headache.

Not to mention that the word 'brother' made Ling Mo feel depressed, just this shout alone was enough to bring more trouble! The zombies' hearing was even more sensitive than that of ordinary people. When the boy shouted, several zombies immediately emerged from nearby alleys or shops. And when they appeared, they immediately noticed Ling Mo and Ye Lian and rushed towards them.

"F*cking hell!" Ling Mo cursed in his heart, drew his short knife from his waist, and jumped off the bike. Because he was concerned about the girl's identity, Ling Mo had to let Ye Lian hide behind him and not let her take action, so as not to reveal anything.

But he alone had to deal with nearly ten zombies, which was the first time. His attack power alone was far from enough to deal with so many zombies.

Fortunately, Ling Mo had puppetry abilities, and now was a good time to test his results. When he raised his short knife to face the first zombie that rushed towards him, his gaze had already turned to the second zombie. In the moment when their eyes met, his strong spiritual power had forcibly controlled the second zombie.

So while he killed the first zombie, the second zombie under his control rushed towards Ling Mo's knife like it was offering itself up. This was just the beginning. Seeing several zombies rushing towards him, Ling Mo's mind was clear like never before.

He had tried controlling two zombies at once before, so what about three at once?

Controlling three zombies at the same time was a fresh challenge for Ling Mo, but he didn't have time to think about it. He just let this idea flash through his mind for a moment and immediately put it into practice.

When he slashed the first zombie, he also controlled the next two zombies that followed. While their movements were frozen for a short time, Ling Mo's short knife quickly cut their throats. This control method only affected the zombies' movements for a short time, but even Ling Mo didn't expect it to be so effective in actual combat.

Under his control, Ling Mo looked like he was easily rushing into the zombie group, using his incredible speed to quickly kill nearly ten zombies. In the blink of an eye, Ling Mo was surrounded by zombie corpses.

Ling Mo, covered in blood, looked like a killing god, making the man and woman in the supermarket stare in shock.

"Damn! Xia Na, did you see that? What is that guy doing? He's so brutal!" The man was stunned and couldn't help but exclaim, but he didn't notice a zombie that had squeezed out of a gap in the counter and reached out to grab him.

"Shh!"

A cold light flashed before his eyes, and then the zombie's hand fell to the ground. The man looked at the girl in front of him with cold sweat on his forehead.

Xia Na glanced at him coldly, then plunged her long knife into the zombie's belly and pulled it out with force. "What's it to me?"

"We're saved! Come on, let's break out!" Although Xia Na's reaction was cold, the man was very excited. After all, things had taken a turn for the better.

Regardless of whether Ling Mo was willing to help them, the man rushed out of the counter, Xia Na frowned, and she followed suit after.

Seeing the two of them rushing towards him, Ling Mo knew he couldn't shake them off for the time being. Instead of watching them bring a group of zombies over, it was better to help them out of the zombie group.
