Just by looking at those eyes, it was already certain that the figure standing behind them was the humanoid creature recorded in the Air Force Corps files, temporarily named the “Enhanced Zombie.”
At this moment, through the mirror, Ling Mo could see nothing but a pair of eyes.
The figure, which didn’t seem particularly tall, was backlit, enveloping its entire body in darkness.
Why, of all times, now?
It had been chaotic for hours earlier without drawing this creature out, and now it suddenly appears unexpectedly…
Setting aside its strength, just the ability to almost completely evade Ling Mo’s mental detection was enough to make him very wary.
The creature merely stood there, achieving the same effect as other zombies in concealment.
This was the first time Ling Mo had encountered such a situation.
“Go!”
Ling Mo kept signaling to Ye Lian with his eyes.
The best course of action now was for him to buy some time while Ye Lian took Xia Na and the others to escape.
Whether or not they could win the fight was uncertain, but Ling Mo was somewhat confident in their ability to flee.
Usually, at such moments, Ye Lian would cooperate without hesitation.
But the pressure from this creature made her hesitate.
During this time, the creature seemed oblivious to the commotion, still curiously watching Ling Mo without moving.
“Enjoying the view…”
Ling Mo clenched his fist, feeling a slight sweat.
At that moment, Ye Lian finally moved, dashing towards the nearest door.
Simultaneously, the figure in the mirror vanished!
Thud!
As the dull sound echoed, Ling Mo let out a muffled groan.
It felt as if his head had been struck by a bat, not only causing sharp pain but also making a continuous buzzing sound inside his skull, leaving him momentarily dazed.
Despite his face turning extremely pale in an instant, Ling Mo immediately turned to face behind him.
About thirty meters away, the blurred figure was standing there.
At a glance, it seemed like the two sides were just facing off through the air.
But in reality, what Ling Mo saw with his “other eyes” was a completely different scene.
A protective web composed of countless Psychic Tentacles was rapidly collapsing before his eyes, but immediately, more tentacles emerged from his Psychic Light Cluster, repairing the web at the same speed.
Between a pair of deep black eyes and a pair of bizarre purple eyes was a mass of mental energy, like a red mist.
The Purple-Eyed Monster was blocked, but its body remained upright. In Ling Mo’s dazed vision, he could only see its long, wild hair fluttering behind it.
And those purple eyes were incredibly clear…
“Bang!”
At this moment, Ye Lian had kicked open a door, grabbing the constantly flickering figure of Li Yalin in the cramped room and pulling her out.
Li Yalin was in a state of instinctual awakening, her red pupils looking like true snake eyes, with an amber ring around the center of the same color.
The contrast was stark, making her appear very eerie.
Her movement speed, just now, was even faster than usual. If not for Ye Lian’s mutated eyes and the tiny room, she might not have been able to grab her.
When Ye Lian pulled her, Li Yalin’s evolution was nearly complete.
Clearly, she hadn’t successfully broken through.
But even so, it was evident that she had undergone some evolution and improvement.
However, Ling Mo had no time to look back. He didn’t even raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The Purple-Eyed Monster’s gaze finally bypassed Ling Mo, looking at Li Yalin and Ye Lian.
“Interesting… very interesting,” it said, after a chilling laugh, squeezing out the words with difficulty from its mouth.
“A newly advanced little one is already interesting, but to find another of the same kind. Half a kind?”
Its voice was dry and unpleasant, indiscernible in gender, but through the blur, its pale, chilling teeth were faintly visible.
Clearly, the monster was smiling.
Yet this scene made Ling Mo’s hair stand on end.
Interesting my foot!
This creepy tone didn’t sound happy at all!
“But…”
Just as the Purple-Eyed Monster was about to continue speaking, Ye Lian had already kicked open another door.
Xia Na was pulled out, but at that moment, neither Black Na nor the spiritual body Nana was in control.
To be precise, it was the complete Xia Na, though some things were different from before.
Her eyes! It was her eyes!
At this moment, Xia Na’s eyes were mismatched—one was black, the other red.
The black eye looked sly and cold, while the red eye was calm and composed.
Like a reversal of styles, this contrast made her even more striking.
Xia Na’s situation was similar to Li Yalin’s, and she also caught the Purple-Eyed Monster’s attention.
The monster suddenly tilted its head, its grin growing wider.
But that rigid smile and those chilling white teeth only added to the horror.
“Wait…”
Ling Mo suddenly felt something odd. Was this monster waiting for Ye Lian to pull out the female zombies one by one?
To inspect them closely?
This feeling… it was like ordering dishes at a restaurant!
As this sensation grew stronger, Ling Mo realized he couldn’t wait any longer.
He clenched his fist tightly, focusing his Psychic Power instantly.
From the Psychic Tentacles that had been blocking the front, a dozen suddenly split off, shooting directly towards the Purple-Eyed Monster.
Another dozen slid along the ground, aiming for the monster’s feet.
This ambush came without warning, and the Purple-Eyed Monster clearly didn’t have the ability to sense Psychic Power.
It wasn’t until the tentacles were about to touch the monster that Ling Mo revealed his killing intent.
Easier said than done, this momentary attack required maintaining absolute calm and then bursting forth at the last instant—a difficult feat.
Barring natural split-personality individuals, Ling Mo had honed this skill through practice.
“Human?”
The Purple-Eyed Monster reacted quickly, sensing danger as soon as a few tentacles materialized into solid form.
The monster’s figure flickered, retreating several meters as if its feet never left the ground, gliding backwards.
Even while retreating at high speed, Purple Eyes’ body managed to sway!
The zigzag movement was indeed a tricky challenge for Ling Mo.
If the opponent were slower, Ling Mo’s psychic reaction speed would definitely keep up.
But this monster was way too fast!
“Are you cheating or what?”
Sweat poured down Ling Mo’s forehead. Although he stood still, his mind was far from idle.
He used his psychic detection to track the movement of the opponent’s Psychic Light Cluster while constantly adjusting the direction of his Psychic Tentacles, yet he missed each time.
Ling Mo hadn’t felt this level of frustration in a long time. It seemed like the opponent was deliberately moving erratically in place.
Hundreds of tentacles extended, and not one touched even a hair of the Purple-Eyed Zombie!
Feeling agitated, Ling Mo kept urging himself, “Faster! Faster!”
His naked eye was utterly defeated at this point; he couldn’t even see a clear silhouette, let alone track the movement.
It was as if a veil covered his vision, showing only a series of overlapping, blurry afterimages.
If not for his strong psychic power, Ling Mo might have thought a fly was buzzing in front of him.
Why is it so fast?
“A mere human dares to strike…”
The unpleasant voice drifted into Ling Mo’s ears.
“Why don’t you bite me!” Ling Mo snapped back irritably.
Sensing that Ling Mo couldn’t “catch” it at all, the Purple-Eyed Zombie’s speed finally slowed a bit.
Maintaining such high speed was a strain even for the monster.
But this “slowing down” was relative. Even at this reduced speed, it was still much faster than typical Senior Zombies and even surpassed Li Yalin.
Li Yalin’s specialty was teleportation, but this zombie…
Ling Mo could now clearly see that its feet seemed equipped with springs, running in small, rapid steps!
Having been taunted by Ling Mo, the zombie found itself at a loss for words.
Trying to outwit a human in a verbal spar? That’s a losing battle.
After a long silence, the Purple-Eyed Zombie squeezed out, “Just a human…”
“Adding two words doesn’t help at all!”
Taking advantage of the opponent’s distraction, Ling Mo’s gaze harpened instantly.
