Chapter 1344: The First Batch of Feed
Psychic interference!
Ling Mo recognized it immediately. He wasn’t surprised that the Spider Queen had evolved such a variation ability. Back when they last fought, there were already zombies of this type among those she brought with her. Thinking about it now, perhaps her current ability was precisely the result of cultivating those zombies back then.
Ling Mo just hadn’t expected that the Spider Queen had already begun to master the biological knowledge she learned as a human, let alone that she would “put it to use,” integrating that knowledge into her own evolutionary growth.
Now, after multiple experiments and cultivation, the Spider Queen had fused all her achievements into herself, raising her strength to an unprecedented level. And the last remaining achievement was the No.0 seed-Ling Mo himself. Only, this particular “achievement” had a long cultivation cycle and was hard to harvest.
Thinking of this, Ling Mo felt a bit complicated. Originally, among Xia Na and the other Female Zombies, he was constantly experiencing what it felt like to be wanted as food by zombies. But seeing a zombie go to such lengths just to eat him still felt rather strange.
It seemed this could be considered a “special treatment,” but why couldn’t he feel happy about it?
The Spider Queen had summoned so many zombies, while Ling Mo had gathered the vast majority of the Survivors. Although the two sides hadn’t truly clashed yet, both were actively preparing…
“Ah-!”
The Spider Queen’s shriek lasted for quite a while. Under Lucy and the others’ shouts, the superhumans quickly snapped back to their senses. Among them, the mental ability users immediately took action, blocking this wave of psychic attack and allowing the ordinary Soldiers to shake off its effects. Some people still felt inexplicably terrified, but they all knew this was the last line of defense. Only by holding it could they survive. Others were waiting deeper inside the Camp, but if the Protective Wall fell, death would only be a matter of time…
With Tom and the others constantly encouraging them, the Soldiers quickly steadied their nerves, even showing more determined expressions as they diligently aimed at the still-empty area outside the wall, just waiting for the moment something happened. The earlier rumbling, the tremors in the ground, and the recent scream-all pointed to… something huge about to happen.
However, what happened after the Spider Queen’s scream stopped was beyond Ling Mo’s expectations…
Ordinary zombies were more susceptible to psychic influence than humans. Just as Ling Mo could Control zombies but not humans-he could only influence them.
Even the Survivors in Miracle Base would experience hallucinations from the scream and see the Spider Queen’s phantom; these zombies were naturally even worse off.
Ling Mo’s consciousness was connected to several zombies, and he felt it all firsthand.
Under the influence of the scream, his Zombie Puppets suddenly surged with a violent, brutal urge, almost making them uncontrollable.
He immediately thought of when he was affected by the No.0 seed before… That was exactly the feeling he had then.
Crap!
Just as this thought flashed through Ling Mo’s mind, two nearby zombies suddenly pounced on each other, tearing at each other madly.
Immediately after, slaughter erupted through the horde like a plague.
Ling Mo’s alpha zombie puppet had already hidden by the wall. Thanks to his quick thinking, even though a few zombies, bloodthirsty, lunged at him, he swiftly took out the two closest ones, then climbed up the building along the drainage pipe. ŔäℕǑＢÈṠ
The zombies tried to follow him up, but Ling Mo slapped the pipe, breaking it. After they fell, they could have climbed the wall directly, but nearby, other zombies had already dug into their comrades’ Hindbrains and set their sights on them.
Awooo!
The entire Square was instantly plunged into madness. The zombies’ howls and the thickening scent of blood…
Ling Mo controlled his puppet to hide upstairs, secretly peering through a window crack at the scene below, feeling deeply shocked.
Although zombie infighting happened every day, as they continued to evolve, these humanoid killing machines, once driven only by instinct, gradually developed habits akin to “rules.”
For example, a group of zombies would gather under the rule of an alpha zombie, and such groups rarely engaged in internal slaughter.
Also, Senior Zombies rarely targeted large numbers of Low-Level Zombies, while the old, weak, sick, and disabled in the horde would undoubtedly be consumed…
It was as if a pack of socialized beasts, fiercely competing yet instinctively maintaining the development of their kind.
Compared to human Survivors, the zombies’ “rules” were simpler, cruder, and more efficient. The emergence of the Lord of the City was the current pinnacle of these “rules.”
So from this perspective, Ling Mo had always thought his goal was to hinder the evolution progress of all zombies in X City.
But now, what the Spider Queen was doing didn’t seem quite right!
Why would she actively break the zombies’ “rules”? Wasn’t her goal to become the Lord of the City?
Ling Mo suddenly felt he couldn’t understand anymore, and on S Square, the slaughter was growing ever more intense.
At first, these zombies were only affected by the psychic interference, but once the killing broke out, their innate bloodlust was triggered.
Meanwhile, the Spider Queen, who had started all this, seemed utterly unconcerned with what was happening around her. She lowered her head to look at the rapidly collapsing ground beneath her feet.
Seeing this, Ling Mo simply controlled his puppet to move to a better vantage point, and like her, carefully watched the Subway Station below.
At this moment, even the ground beneath the Spider Queen’s feet had collapsed, but her blood-red, thread-like Tentacles were as agile as her limbs, already holding her high in the air. Amid the thick scent of blood, the cocoons appearing underground seemed affected as well, their pulsing growing more intense.
Suddenly, one of the cocoons let out a “hiss” and split open.
Inside was a naked girl, curled up with her arms around her legs, in the posture of a newborn infant.
But when she abruptly opened her eyes, Ling Mo suddenly felt a chill.
This was… the prototype of those Hosts parasitized by the Spider Queen…
And it was easy to imagine that these Hosts were anything but ordinary!
After opening her eyes, the girl slowly stood up from the cocoon.
Then she tilted her head stiffly, as if getting used to her body and the surroundings.
At the same time, more and more cocoons began to “hatch.”
Ling Mo’s heart skipped a beat, and a terrifying thought suddenly occurred to him.
Could it be that these tens of thousands of zombies were feed prepared by the Spider Queen for her Hosts?!
“Why aren’t those foreign zombies here yet?” He was suddenly seized by a long-lost sense of anxiety.
