Chapter 712: Trip on My Tripwire
Chapter 712: Trip on My Tripwire
Ling Mo left Bighead’s roar behind him, focusing solely on running forward desperately.
He worried that the guy might stop chasing him midway, so he kept running and saying, “Actually, you probably just drank too much melamine, right? After merging with the virus, the side effects were infinitely amplified. But to make yourself look unique, you simply found a seemingly high-end excuse…”
“Nonsense!” Bighead instantly got angry. As a zombie that highly valued its appearance, it had put a lot of effort into its evolutionary mutations! It had finally grown such a perfect big head, and this damned human had the nerve to attribute it to melamine!
“When I catch you, I’ll rip your limbs off and eat them first!” Bighead roared.
“Can’t you be a bit more creative…”
Ling Mo was giving it his all at this point. He could actually use his tentacles a couple more times, but he couldn’t use them recklessly. In terms of speed, he definitely couldn’t outrun a King Level Zombie, even if it was intelligence-oriented.
If it got too close, his tentacles might help delay it.
Plus, this zombie also had hallucination abilities, which he had to guard against.
Ling Mo guessed that Bighead, like “Wig,” used virus secretion to utilize this mutation ability…
He couldn’t give it a chance!
Bighead was also annoyed. When had it ever been cursed by a human like this!
Other humans would be so frightened upon seeing it that they couldn’t even speak properly, let alone have the time to mock it…
And… this human clearly looked weak, yet why could he run so fast!
Bighead didn’t realize that Ling Mo’s weakness was mental and had nothing to do with his body.
His physical strength was barely depleted; he was just too exhausted mentally to control his body movements.
But after recovering some psychic power, he was practically back to full strength…
Still, this human couldn’t possibly outrun it!
Bighead thought angrily, and as soon as it turned a corner, it suddenly felt something catch its foot, sending it sprawling forward.
Ling Mo’s face turned pale, but he forced a smile and said, “Idiot, that’s called a tripwire!”
Bighead didn’t fall, but caught off guard, it crashed directly into the wall in front of it, making a dull thud as its head hit the wall.
A pile of cement dust immediately “shh-shh” fell down, covering Bighead’s face.
“Ah!”
Bighead was furious. This human was simply intolerable!
Whether fighting humans or other zombies, it had never been toyed with like this!
At this moment, it had no time to secrete any virus…
Feeling Bighead’s speed increasing rapidly as it rushed at him, Ling Mo’s vigilance heightened.
Although this zombie had high intelligence, it was still not human, so Ling Mo’s sarcasm had such an effective impact.
However, the difference in strength couldn’t be bridged. Ling Mo’s main body had the strongest psychic power, but now it was in a state of exhaustion.
But this wasn’t his true ultimate means…
“Human!” Bighead was now less than ten meters away from Ling Mo, a distance it could cover in the blink of an eye.
“Watch your head!” Ling Mo shouted.
Bighead had been focused on watching its footing, but hearing Ling Mo’s shout, it instinctively looked up at the ceiling.
“Thud!”
This time it fell directly. As it looked up, it got tripped again; it was inevitable.
Ling Mo’s face turned deathly pale, but he laughed heartily and ran forward a few more paces.
As soon as Bighead hit the ground, it used its hands to push itself up, feeling it was about to snap from the anger.
Just as Ling Mo thought, the smarter the zombie, the easier it was to anger.
Other zombies didn’t overthink like Bighead, nor would they feel like they were being made fools of.

They were just inherently foolish…
“I’m going to eat you! I’m going to eat you! Ahhh!”
Bighead’s eyes were nearly bulging out of its head. Seeing the stairwell ahead, its gaze became frenzied.
This human still wanted to seek help from zombies? How could it give him that chance?
As long as it caught this human, those other zombies would be easy pickings.
In its view, its own plan was far superior to the straightforward hunting strategies of the Bird Zombie, and much less effort.
But unexpectedly, this human was incredibly troublesome!
If it had known, it wouldn’t have spoken to him at all!
Bighead was both furious and regretful at this point. Humans were just too cunning!
“Give up! I won’t-“
Before Bighead could finish, Ling Mo suddenly sidestepped and disappeared!
In a split second, Bighead reached the spot where Ling Mo had been, only to see an iron door slam shut in front of him.
“Bang!”
Ling Mo’s target wasn’t the stairwell but this small storage room!
Of course, such a reinforced door couldn’t stop Bighead. He kicked the door flying with one powerful strike. free𝑤ebnovel.com
But even a moment’s pause was enough for Ling Mo to escape from the room.
Bighead immediately spotted the window and squinted his eyes.
“Do you think you can escape? I remember your scent from the incident…”
“This way!” A voice suddenly called out from outside the window.
“Damn it! I already know that!” Bighead was instantly infuriated. This human was way too arrogant!
He leaped out of the window in anger, but in that instant, he suddenly sensed a surge of danger.
It felt like… he was being targeted by something!
But there was no way to dodge now. Just as Bighead realized something was wrong, a strong force struck his abdomen.
“Boom!”
He was sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground.
When he touched his abdomen, he found it had been blasted open, charred and torn.
Ling Mo glanced up at the flickering flames with a faint smile.
His shout of “this way” hadn’t just been for Bighead; it was also a signal to Ye Lian.
Ye Lian’s mutated “kaleidoscope” eyes used for shooting were terrifyingly effective. Even a King level Zombie, caught completely off guard and stuck at the window, couldn’t withstand a direct hit.
“Argh!”
The shot was heavy, but not fatal.
Bighead roared in pain but didn’t recklessly rush out of the window.
Now it thought about using its hallucination ability, but what good would that do here?
During the chase, those other zombies had quietly slipped away.
He had thought the human was going to rendezvous with the zombies, but his attention had been solely on the human!
Cunning! Treacherous!
Bighead had just struggled to get up when a sense of danger suddenly enveloped him from above.
Instinctively, he ducked down just in time to hear a “boom” behind him.
Peeking back with his head lowered, he saw a large hole blasted into the wall, with cement fragments and a cloud of dust cascading to the floor.
“Damn it!”
Bighead cursed a couple of times but suddenly noticed that it seemed quieter outside…
He hesitated for a moment and then cautiously peeked out.
Huh, no one was aiming at him…
“The scent is still nearby…”
Bighead was confused. He had been tricked repeatedly, and the best course of action now was probably to stay put and create another hallucination…
But what if that human sets fire to him?
Witnessing the Bird Zombie burned to ash and seeing the “Wig” incinerated-along with almost being burned himself-Bighead was now traumatized.
However, he didn’t realize that his situation differed from that of the Bird Zombie; starting a fire here wasn’t practical.
While hesitating, Bighead moved to the base of the window.
He sniffed the air and confirmed that Ling Mo was still outside.
But he didn’t dare to poke his head out again. After some thought, he decided to quietly sneak out and then track down the human.
This plan was actually quite clever, but he forgot that he had exposed both his strategy and his intelligence to Ling Mo…
As he crouched and darted from the doorway back into the corridor, a sudden “boom” echoed from above.
With building debris falling around him, Bighead swiftly dodged to the side.
But he didn’t notice that his quick dodge had positioned him back at the doorway…
“Bang!”
A massive impact hit his back, slamming Bighead against the wall.
His front and back were now a bloody mess, and combined with the force of the collision, Bighead nearly spat blood.
Even though King level zombies had formidable defensive capabilities, they couldn’t withstand this kind of punishment!
Moreover, ever since Ling Mo had jumped out the window, Bighead hadn’t even caught a glimpse of his enemy!
It seemed like this human had never intended for those zombie minions to engage in close combat with him, or even get near him!
The one attacking the ceiling was within the range of Bighead’s hallucination ability, but secreting the hallucinogenic virus required time!
After being hit, the hallucination virus that had just surged within him was forced back down…
