Chapter 20: Breaking Through That Thin Membrane

But this is not the time to pursue responsibility, not to mention that Ling Mo still wanted to thank these two idiots.

In the past two days, Ye Lian had been extremely hungry and thirsty. She needed to eat... and Ling Mo had just reached a bottleneck.

Perhaps once Ye Lian evolved, he would be able to break through this level and become stronger.

Therefore, in Ling Mo's eyes, this terrifying mutated zombie was not only not scary, but very valuable!

But as his eyes lit up, Ling Mo vaguely felt that this mutated zombie seemed different from the ones he had encountered before, and seemed to be a little stronger...

It didn't matter if it was a little stronger, they have to get rid of it as soon as possible!

Lu Xin's screams echoed throughout the supermarket. Xia Na and Liu Yuhao will be here soon.

By then, even if they killed the mutated zombie, they would not be able to take out the brain gel in front of everyone. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

The mutated zombies looked at Ling Mo and Ye Lian, who suddenly appeared and rushed up without hesitation.

But what shocked Ling Mo was that the target of its attack was not himself, but Ye Lian!

Sure enough, compared to ordinary zombies, the mutated zombies’ priority targets are their own kind rather than ordinary people.

"How dare you attack Ye Lian? Are you looking for death?!" Seeing this mutated zombie rushing towards Ye Lian, Ling Mo immediately got angry and simply reduced the intensity of his control over Ye Lian to the minimum, letting Ye Lian do her best.

He then pulled out his short knife and moved to the side of the mutated zombie.

As soon as she was freed, the terrifying aura on Ye Lian's body suddenly surged, and her black eyes were full of undisguised violent killing intent!

Affected by the spiritual connection, Ling Mo also felt that the blood flow in his body accelerated a bit, and there was only that mutated zombie in his eyes!

Compared to the mutated zombie's tyrannical strength, Ye Lian's strength was obviously a little lacking, but she was small and light, she could move more quickly in a small area, and her attack speed was also a few points faster than that of the mutated zombie.

But the environment here was not very favourable, with a wall on one side and a shelf on the other.

The fat mutated zombie only needed to reach out and wave its hand, and its attack range almost completely included Ye Lian and Ling Mo.

This made it impossible for Ling Mo, who was holding a short knife, to attack at close range.

Although Ye Lian was not in danger for a while, she was not in the upper hand and even had a possibility of falling into a disadvantage.

This was because of the influence of Ling Mo's spiritual connection. Ye Lian's fighting style was not as desperate as the mutated zombies... and the mutated zombies were completely driven by instinct.

As long as they were still alive, they would not stop attacking, and they would never think of defending.

Although Ling Mo had slashed several wounds on its body, this mutated zombie was not affected at all!

It was all thanks to this horrible body of fat that a single cut with the knife didn't hurt his bones at all.

At this time, the sounds of Xia Na and others could be heard coming, so they had to speed up!

Under the urgent situation, Ling Mo also burst out with ruthlessness. He gave up the strategy of attacking from the side and rushed directly to the front of the mutated zombie!

In this way, even if the mutated zombie didn't care about him at all, it would have to attack him.

But when the mutated zombie's terrifying hand grabbed him, Ling Mo's eyes suddenly became very calm.

At this moment, a critical moment of life and death, Ling Mo relied on the willpower he had cultivated during this period of time to forcibly restrain the fear in his heart and focus his attention completely on the spiritual light ball of the mutated zombie!

“Buzz!”

An extremely uncomfortable feeling immediately surged into Ling Mo's heart. His chest felt as if he had swallowed a mouthful of blood, and his head was dizzy.

Controlling two mutated zombies at once is indeed a new challenge, because mutated zombies are different from ordinary zombies, their instincts are stronger, and controlling them will also cause a mental shock to Ling Mo!

Especially when the two mutated zombies are fighting!

Either I die or you die!

Ling Mo actually held on as he became more ruthless!

And these few tenths of a second, in Ling Mo's consciousness, it felt as long as a day.

But even so, when he felt that he had controlled the body of the mutated zombie, Ling Mo still wanted to laugh out loud!

He didn't expect that he could succeed under such circumstances. The growth of his mental power greatly improved his strength.

However, despite his excitement, as soon as the mutated zombie was controlled, Ye Lian, who had already circled behind it, quickly took out the gel from its brain.

As the huge corpse fell to the ground, Ling Mo took the gel from Ye Lian and excitedly put it in his hands.

But as soon as the battle was over, Ling Mo suddenly felt his head go empty, and a line of warm liquid immediately flowed out of his nostrils.

At this time, Xia Na, Liu Yuhao and others who had just arrived happened to see the body fall and Ling Mo's nosebleed.

"Are you okay?" Xia Na asked anxiously, while Liu Yuhao stared at the scene in amazement.

"I'm fine." A nosebleed is nothing. Being able to successfully control two mutated zombies is a breakthrough for Ling Mo!

He could clearly feel that although his combat power has not evolved, his mental strength has completely broken through that thin film!

It was not achieved through Ye Lian's evolution, but through his own efforts and hard work! How could Ling Mo not be happy with this achievement?

Seeing that Ling Mo did not seem to be seriously injured, Xia Na turned her attention to the two people on the ground.

The man who was dismembered had died, but Lu Xin was lucky.

He had a horrible wound on his back, but his internal organs were not injured. When Liu Yuhao turned him over, he was still conscious.

"Ah..." Lu Xin groaned in pain, but not many people paid attention to him.

Whether it is the horrible zombie corpse on the ground or the person who is still gasping for breath, they are more worthy of attention than Lu Xin.

Only Liu Yuhao quickly took out the bandages and hemostatic agents and began to help Lu Xin treat the wound.

But while groaning in pain, Lu Xin's extremely resentful eyes were always secretly locked on Ling Mo.

Why! Why didn't he save him?! Ling Mo was definitely able to save him at that moment!

Lu Xin's heart was filled with deep hatred, but the death of this mutated zombie made Lu Xin clearly realize that no matter how much he hated Ling Mo, he dared not provoke him!

"He's dying."

Xia Na walked up to her dismembered companion and whispered.

But he was still twitching, breathing, and there was even a hint of pleading in his grey eyes.

Even at this point, no one wants to die like this. From his eyes, it is not difficult to see that he still wants to live and does not want to die. Even in such a painful situation...

But as the blade suddenly passed in front of him, the glimmer of light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and in his wide eyes, there was still the afterimage of Xia Na swinging her knife.

"Ah!"

A girl immediately covered her mouth and screamed, while Ling Mo showed a look of admiration.
