Chapter 1182: Im Providing Cover!
Coming back to his senses, Ling Mo reached out to Ye Lian with a smile and said, “Come, let me wipe your hands.”
Ye Lian stood dazed for a moment, then slowly lifted her blood-soaked hands…
And as Ling Mo lowered his head to carefully wipe them, she just kept watching him…
“Was this… killed by Ye Lian?” Xia Na’s teasing voice came from behind.
Ling Mo turned around with the bloodied paper ball in his hand, then placed his hand on top of their heads.
“When did you two come out?”
Xia Na, tilting her head and grinning strangely, answered while her eyes couldn’t help but follow the paper ball, “A while ago… since she told you she hadn’t caught you. But speaking of which, she seems to hold quite a grudge. Ling-Ge, did you do something unspeakable to her, so she came to hold you accountable?”
“What do you mean unspeakable… Didn’t you just say it all out loud!” Ling Mo rolled his eyes.
Li Yalin’s gaze also shifted twice, and she asked in confusion, “She does seem familiar… But I’ve never seen this face before. So strange…”
“It’s not strange, because it’s not really her.” Seeing the two Female Zombies getting closer, Ling Mo simply raised his hand and threw the paper ball far away.
But just as Xia Na and Li Yalin showed disappointed expressions and instinctively turned to look… a figure appeared in the direction the paper ball flew.
“I just…” Xu Shuhan held the paper ball, mouth open as if to say something… but after a moment of silence, she suddenly turned and rushed toward the stairs, “I’ll go check downstairs! And this… I’m just helping you throw it away! Don’t think you can litter just because it’s the Apocalypse!”
“Host, I’ll go too…” Gu Shuangshuang called out, not understanding.
“No need! Whew…”
“What’s with her…” Gu Shuangshuang turned to look at Xia Na and the others, asking, “Don’t you think Host Xu’s voice sounds a bit weird? Like her breathing is kind of… heavy… and…”
By the end, Gu Shuangshuang’s tone had already changed…
These two in front of her, their breathing was heavy too!
“Go check the nearby rooms, see if they left anything behind.” Ling Mo kindly suggested.
Gu Shuangshuang snapped back to herself, hurriedly turned and ran off, “O… okay!”
Smack! Smack!
Ling Mo raised his hand and gave Xia Na and Li Yalin each a pat on the head, saying sternly, “Don’t scare your teammates!”
As he spoke, he put his hand behind his back and quietly shook it twice…
It really hurt…
“Why hit me? I was just covering for Senior Sister. Otherwise, if she stared at someone and drooled alone, it’d look so scary.” Xia Na said aggrievedly.
Li Yalin just giggled.
“Two people staring and drooling isn’t scary?” Ling Mo raised his hand again, but after feeling his still-numb palm, he reluctantly put his arm down and coughed, “I’ll let it go this time. Don’t do it again.”
“But that blood really does smell strong… What’s strange is, this corpse just smells like ordinary human blood, but the paper ball just now had another scent. It was so fragrant…” Xia Na licked her lips, still savoring it.
“All you think about is eating!” Ling Mo said, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He turned to look at Ye Lian, who was still staring at them in confusion.
“Could Ye Lian’s attack… actually reveal the real vital point of the enemy?”
That special-smelling blood was clearly from the Host Body itself…
But unexpectedly, all that blood ended up on Ye Lian’s hands…
“Ling-Ge, just now…”
As soon as Xia Na started to ask, Ling Mo briefly explained his encounter with Liu Yang, the Niepan captain.
He also mentioned a bit about the Spider Queen being behind it.
Xia Na and Li Yalin exchanged glances, immediately showing a look of sudden realization.
They’d encountered that mutated Progenitor before…
“No wonder…” Xia Na mused.
“What is it?” Ling Mo asked.
Xia Na looked at the corpse, “She acted like she knew us. But instead of fighting us, she hid in the dark. We were worried Host Xu and Gu Shuangshuang might get hurt, so we had to stick together.” ℞ÁŊȯВÊȿ
“Right, she said this body was called Wen Xiaoyu. But she wanted us to call her Stella.” Li Yalin quickly added.
“She really does introduce herself to everyone… Wen Xiaoyu… must be from Niepan too.” Ling Mo wanted to search Wen Xiaoyu’s body, but as soon as he showed the intention, Xia Na and Li Yalin teamed up to glare at him.
“She’s just a corpse!” Xia Na emphasized seriously.
“That’s exactly why!” Ling Mo retorted angrily.
But seeing all the blood, he quietly gave up.
The two Female Zombies helped search, but aside from some personal daily items, they found nothing new.
“Looks like she’s just a strong Host Body. Maybe her own shielding ability isn’t that great. So, there’s probably no secrets to find on her.” Ling Mo said regretfully.
The Spider Queen was certainly a deadly pursuer, but coming to ambush him at Niepan’s Camp meant she wasn’t easy to deal with either.
The key point was that Niepan’s Big Boss knew all the granaries and armories, so if he could set up an ambush here, who knew if the other places were still safe?
“All the living witnesses were wiped out by the Spider Queen… She really knows how to crash the party.” Ling Mo said helplessly.
With Wen Xiaoyu’s complete death, all the shielding finally disappeared.
And just as Ling Mo was speaking, Li Yalin suddenly sniffed, “There’s a smell of blood…”
“There’s a sound…” Xia Na also tilted her head to listen, then said.
Ling Mo froze, quickly Sensing, and his face darkened, “Damn.”
Now he understood what Wen Xiaoyu meant by that phrase… Don’t die today!
“That Spider actually prepared a backup plan!”
Looks like it didn’t come in person, but it didn’t slack off at all!
“Ling Mo!” Xu Shuhan’s anxious voice came from the stairs, and her figure quickly rushed into the Corridor.
Gu Shuangshuang also ran out at the sound, her face pale, “The window… downstairs…”
“I know, let’s go, everyone downstairs!” Ling Mo waved.
On the way down, his mind replayed the scene he’d just seen through Black Silk…
Black Silk and Yu Shiran had clearly rushed to the front lines…
To keep Ling Mo and the others from being surrounded, Black Silk and the others hadn’t retreated into the Dormitory Building, but had gone out to meet the attack.
But fighting Zombies in open ground was instantly several levels more dangerous…
When Ling Mo switched over, “in front” were several Zombies attacking, and countless silver threads were swaying, trying to kill them.
Yu Shiran was fighting several Zombies not far away, but what really made Ling Mo’s spine tingle was that behind those Zombies, a Dominant Level Zombie was coldly observing the battle… It stood high on the wall, seemingly not intervening, but even more threatening.
And in the distance, muffled sounds began to ring out intermittently, clearly Yuwen Xuan and the others had also engaged the Zombies.
Just from the perspective switch, Ling Mo couldn’t see many Zombies… but when he shifted his view to Xiao Bai, the feeling became much stronger…
Inside and outside the walls, all were Zombies…
“These aren’t ordinary Zombies… Otherwise, even mutation-level ones would be dead under Yu Shiran and Black Silk. But these Zombies are obviously much smarter… Several attacking one, defending well…”
Although they couldn’t hurt Black Silk and the others, it was clear they were trying to hold them up and then focus on dealing with the humans!
And just as Ling Mo rushed to the second floor, that Dominant Level… moved!
“Roar!”
Black Silk had been watching it closely, and the moment the Dominant Level leaped off the wall, a strand of silver thread she’d prepared shot through the grass.
But at that moment, a shout from Ling Mo suddenly echoed in her mind, “Don’t go!”
