Chapter 1177: You Jinx
Chapter 1177: You Jinx
“Huff!” Under the immense pressure, even Ling Mo’s breathing became a bit rapid.
He had just managed to outsmart the Niepan captain because he had grasped the weak points of the Shielding Net through Black Silk. So whether it was his position or the hiding place of the master ball, both happened to be the least noticeable spots in this Corridor.
But now, as Liu Yang approached, Ling Mo felt those weak points were quickly being covered. He hadn’t expected that just after sensing the disappearance of the Psychic Shield, he would immediately fall into an even more dangerous trap…
Although the Psychic Shielding Net was gone, when Black Silk’s excited inquiry came from the other side, Ling Mo solemnly said, “Don’t come.”
If it were just the Psychic Shield, only those with mental ability would be weakened. But this kind of comprehensive impact on the five senses would affect everyone. Especially those around Ling Mo…
“Then… I’ll take people to search around the granary. If there are any remaining Ambushers or something, we’ll take care of them. Like you said, they were well prepared, so maybe there are still people over by the granary.” Black Silk said.
“Mm. But you all need to be careful too. I think they won’t let you off easily.” Ling Mo said worriedly.
“By the way, how are Ye Lian and the others?” Black Silk paused, then suddenly asked.
“They seem fine from my Sensing, but… they must be fighting someone.” Ling Mo replied. This was also the reason for his secret anxiety, but the more anxious he was, the more he had to control himself to stay calm. Otherwise, if something happened to him, they would be implicated as well.
“If I finish up here and you’re still fighting… then I’ll find a way to come help. By then, don’t refuse me again. Don’t worry, I won’t end up causing trouble instead. I’m not that fool Yu Shiran.” Black Silk promised earnestly in a childish voice.
“Alright…” Ling Mo nodded.
“By the way, do you like me?”
“…We’ll talk about it later.”
Inside the office building, Black Silk stood on tiptoe at the window. It glanced back at the Miracle Squad Team Members who were “appearing” one by one, then turned to look toward the Dormitory Building. In the sunlight, that building looked very quiet. But Black Silk knew very well that inside… it was eerie.
“That’s the place?” Yuwen Xuan limped over to the window. Looking at the building, he asked.
“Yeah. Ling Mo and the others are in there.” Black Silk put its heels down and answered.
“Didn’t hear any commotion.” Yuwen Xuan observed for a moment and said.
“That’s the scary part…” Black Silk had just finished answering when its pupils suddenly shrank, and it asked in a low voice, “Madman, do you hear anything?”
“Me?” Yuwen Xuan stuck his head out for a look. He was about to shake his head when his gaze suddenly locked onto the area outside the nearby wall. “Heh, looks like you’re not just hearing things from being affected… But for us, this isn’t good news…”
Black Silk’s face darkened, and it quickly grabbed the windowsill and tiptoed up again. Her eyesight was much better than Yuwen Xuan’s… What Yuwen Xuan saw was just a Dark Shadow, and that scene was already shocking enough… But what Black Silk saw was the true faces of those Dark Shadows, and their every move.
Hundreds of Zombies were running wildly through the wilderness. And their direction was straight toward this granary.
Some Zombies stopped along the way, but after forming a circle, they quickly dispersed. Black Silk didn’t even need to think to know they were eating the Zombies that had just died in the wilderness. 𝐫áℕꝋ𝖇Εś
But would those corpses attract these Zombies? Judging by their speed and eyes, almost all of them were mutation-level or above. Half of them were even Advanced-level. What made Black Silk’s expression most grave were the two leading ones… those were genuine dominant level.
“This doesn’t seem like a coincidence…”
At that moment, Black Silk suddenly sniffed…
As the shield weakened, it began to smell…
And just a second later, its gaze snapped toward one of the granaries.
“There’s something wrong there!”
Then, it sighed in an old-fashioned tone, “Master really is a jinx…”
……
“They’re here… This must be the real trap. All the previous preparations were just to wear me down. Looks like this little Spider really thinks highly of me.” Ling Mo sneered inwardly. Compared to the Senior Zombies he’d encountered before, the Spider Queen was by far the most troublesome. Not only was it powerful, but more importantly, it was cautious. If not for today’s encounter, Ling Mo wouldn’t have known it had been tracking him for so long. And when they finally met, they were actually hiding within a human Squad…
If Ling Mo and the three Female Zombies hadn’t each evolved, this battle would have been much harder. And although the Spider Queen had calculated a lot, it still hadn’t accounted for everything. Even so, its preparations were enough to show how terrifying it was. And this was just what it had set up without knowing everything-if it had figured everything out before coming, how hard would it be to fight?
“I have one more question for you.” Ling Mo suddenly spoke.
But Liu Yang kept walking, showing no intention of answering. Are you kidding? I just asked you something and you didn’t answer…
Ling Mo didn’t mind and continued, “You sneaking into this Squad wasn’t a coincidence, was it? I mean… maybe you just happened to run into them… After all, you’re a Zombie, you might not know much about human affairs, and it’s impossible for you to have scouted the route in advance and deliberately followed it. So… although I used the word ‘maybe,’ in my view, you must have run into them by chance. Am I right?”
“At a time like this, why are you asking this? What are you really trying to say?” Maybe Ling Mo’s analysis startled him, but Liu Yang finally replied. Although he didn’t directly confirm it, asking this kind of question was basically admitting it.
“Second question… You knew my approximate location, so you slowly found your way here. Maybe your original plan was to find me precisely, then lie low and look for an opportunity, but unexpectedly, you ran into such a good chance. So you seized it, gave up on searching for me, and chose to wait in ambush, right?” Ling Mo asked again.
“Does that matter?” Liu Yang paused, then said, “Fine, you’re right about everything. But this Intelligence, for you right now, is too late no matter how much you know. If I’m not mistaken, you must be pretty drained by now, right?” At this point, Liu Yang was full of confidence, and his gaze at Ling Mo even showed a hint of seeing prey.
Ling Mo stared back at him. After hearing Liu Yang’s words, Ling Mo suddenly smiled.
“That’s good.”
“Good? What’s good?” Liu Yang really was a bit straightforward. He frowned and asked directly.
“Of course it’s good. It means that after I kill you, there won’t be another guy like you coming after me for a while.” Ling Mo said coldly.
“You…” Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, just about to say something, but was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ling Mo, who had no advantage and was even suppressed in momentum, actually struck at him directly…
And this strike was clearly all-out.
Liu Yang shook his head expressionlessly. “You really don’t know how to give in…”
Whoosh whoosh!
Hundreds of Tentacles shot out suddenly!
Facing this surge of energy rushing at him, Liu Yang looked completely unconcerned, even a bit relaxed.
“This is your specialty, physical attacks, right? Well, you can try. I’m a Level 1 Puppet, not on the same level as that Level 2 Puppet just now, or those Level 3 Puppets you encountered before. You’ll see the difference soon enough. By then, I hope you’ll be clear-headed and give up resisting early-maybe you’ll still have a chance to live…”
Clang clang!
Liu Yang’s words were cut off… Nearly all those hundreds of Tentacles nailed themselves to his eyes…
Even though he couldn’t see these Tentacles, he still vaguely sensed a blood-red color approaching…
