Chapter 1102: The Wall of Corpses

“Child… pfft!”

Ling Mo first spat out, then immediately regained his composure under Ye Lian’s gaze, asking calmly, “Hmm… That Zombie’s gender is unclear, but that Spider is indeed female and does have reproductive ability, so what Ye Lian said actually makes sense! But… why do you think that?”

“Ah…! I didn’t mean they… did it like this, or like that… and then gave birth…” Ye Lian waved her hands repeatedly to explain, “What I mean is… even though they’re not the same species… but if…”

Ye Lian looked to Xia Na for help, and Xia Na glanced at her twice, then suddenly understood and quickly continued, “I get what Ye Lian means. She’s saying these aren’t just the result of the big Spider and Zombie working together, but something they’ve created through some special method… At least from what we see now, it’s not as simple as each of them just biting someone… So instead of studying them, we should think about what the big Spider and Zombie each have, and what they’re missing… Since they’re researching this kind of thing, it’s definitely for their own benefit, and it’s good for both sides…”

“No! You’re absolutely right.” Ling Mo showed a hint of thoughtfulness, stared at the corpse on the ground for a while, then suddenly looked up and said, “If we’re talking about common ground… it should be Intelligence, right?”

“Intelligence…” Black Silk propped her chin and thought, then suddenly clapped her hands, “That’s it! The Spider and Zombie can cooperate like this, which proves that Zombie’s Intelligence has at least recovered to normal human level. And that ‘person’ we met before, his body clearly hadn’t evolved, but his thinking was exactly like a Low-Level Zombie. As for this one… his body hasn’t obviously evolved either, Intelligence-wise…”

The Female Zombies looked at each other and almost spoke in unison, “What they want to modify is the brains of these humans and Zombies!”

“Brains… Well, whatever the truth is, we’ll find out as we keep investigating.” Ling Mo said.

While they were gathered around the corpse discussing, Mu Chen and the others were also searching the area carefully with their Flashlights. Ling Mo hurried over. Within the beam of the Flashlight, he saw a pale finger… sticking out from inside the wall.

Xu Shuhan came over for a look, wrinkled her nose in disgust, then said, “This is a human corpse… And judging by the scent concentration, the whole body should be sealed inside the wall. Probably because of the Venom, it hasn’t rotted yet.”

“Heh… Who would’ve thought that big Spider actually buried him instead of just eating him…” Yuwen Xuan stared at the finger and sighed.

“Probably there’s some reason it can’t eat him…” Ling Mo mused.

“Hey, hey, you guys are really discussing such a gruesome topic right in front of the remains!” Mu Chen said angrily.

“He can’t hear us anyway.” Ye Kai patted Mu Chen’s shoulder and said seriously, “Corpses are buried everywhere in the green hills…” Before Mu Chen could say anything else, he pulled a small shovel from his backpack and asked, “Boss, should I dig?”

“Damn, you’re just ready to… Wait, the real question is… why do you carry something like that around?” Mu Chen exclaimed.

“Oh… I brought it when I got off the plane, originally meant to scoop rice, but now it’s perfect for digging up corpses.” Ye Kai explained proudly, then added, “Since there’s something wrong with this corpse, we should dig him out and take a look, right? Besides, I think he’d be happy about it. If it were me, I wouldn’t want to die so mysteriously and be stuffed in a place like this. At least let people know how I died and what I went through before death.”

“…You even used yourself as an example, what else can I say?” Mu Chen sighed, reaching out, “Got another shovel?”

“I have rubber gloves…”

Ling Mo nodded at this moment, “Dig. The answer might be on him.”

The corpse had been buried hastily, so digging it out was easy… But unexpectedly, as the stiff corpse fell out of the mud wall, more corpses began to appear…

Arms… hands… half a face… These pale parts emerged from the black soil, and at first glance, it looked like a densely packed wall of corpses.

“Ah!”

Xu Shuhan immediately screamed and reflexively retreated.

But the passage was only four or five meters wide, and not only did she forget she was a Zombie, she backed up too hard…

“Bang!”

As she crashed into the wall behind her, with the “swish swish” of falling dirt, a hand suddenly dropped out from inside, landing right in front of Xu Shuhan’s eyes. Ȑ𝒶𝐍𝘰ＢΕS

Xu Shuhan stood frozen in place, covered in dirt. At that moment, through her mask, she saw a ghastly pale hand and screamed again, “Ah!”

“Damn…” The others stared blankly at the freshly dug corpse wall, and at the new one that had appeared behind Xu Shuhan…

“This is insane…”

Just judging by the exposed limbs, there were already more than thirty corpses in these two walls. The key point was, these corpses buried here couldn’t have just happened to be discovered by them… So the most likely scenario was that the entire passage was filled with corpses like these…

“Do you all remember what that captive said? All the corpses from Dawn Town were moved here for storage…” Ling Mo stared at the corpses, his face full of disgust.

“Yeah…” Black Silk tiptoed in front of one of the walls and said in a childish voice, “If you look closely, the innermost part of these corpse walls are all older corpses, and most of them are Zombies. There are also some humans who were bitten to death but hadn’t been eaten yet, so from this angle, that big Spider is just a corpse mover. Ah… but the ones on the outside were definitely killed by it.”

“What is this kid chatting so casually about next to me! Hurry and take pictures of these corpse soils, I can’t move!” Xu Shuhan was still standing there, silently confronting that hand… For someone as timid as her, at this moment, she probably wished she could hide inside the wall…

“Alright, let’s take a look at this corpse.” Ling Mo shifted his gaze to the corpse on the ground, the owner of that finger. Since he was buried so shallowly, his time of death was probably the most recent…

Xiao Hei silently emerged, then used his Tentacle to bind the corpse’s limbs. As Ling Mo moved his finger, Xiao Hei also raised his arm, and lifted the corpse like a puppet.

The corpse seemed to come alive, slowly straightening its body, then raising its head…

Judging by the face, the corpse didn’t seem to have mutated much. A slightly thin build, sunken cheeks. Only a rotting wound appeared on his neck, looking like a black hole. Besides that, his head was unusually large. Ling Mo stared at him for a while, finally focusing all his attention on the head.

“Looks like we guessed right, their target for modification is the human brain… And to verify the results, they used both humans and Zombies as test subjects… Wait!” Ling Mo suddenly realized, “That’s exactly how the big Spider is-its body mutated, but its mind stayed clear! So… could it be the first success? Or maybe, the reason that Zombie targeted it was precisely because of this?”

“Now we also know the Zombie’s goal… What it needs is something related to humans…” Ling Mo paused for a moment, his gaze suddenly fixed on Xiao Hei, “It wants psychic power!”

“Eh… That explains why it targeted Ling-Ge…” Xia Na turned to look at Ling Mo, speaking in a low voice.

Everyone looked at Ling Mo. Mu Chen’s face was grim as he said, “That means, to it, captain is like hundreds of plates of delicious meatballs laid out defenselessly in front of it… It will definitely make a move.”

“No… It will be very cautious.” Ling Mo shook his head. Now he understood why that Zombie hadn’t targeted Ye Lian and the others… But just because it didn’t treat its kind as prey didn’t mean it wouldn’t be wary of them. So up to now, that Zombie must still be lurking in the shadows, watching them, looking for a weakness.

Fortunately, Ling Mo had figured out its goal before it found an opportunity, so now they could come up with some targeted countermeasures…

“After what you all said, these guys… are the ‘mental ability superhumans’ they deliberately cultivated? But judging by the results, they obviously failed, at best producing dangerous madmen and regular madmen. But since both turned into madmen, most of the virus and Venom must have affected their brains.” Black Silk pointed at the corpse, “This kind was killed outright by them, and the ones hanging up barely survived, but didn’t meet the expected standard.”

“Maybe, at the very bottom there’s a so-called qualified specimen? If we can find it, then master, you won’t have to be the decoy.” Black Silk said, hands on her hips.

“You call me master, but your actions have already nonchalantly made me the decoy…” Ling Mo immediately frowned…

“Rustle rustle…”

From the depths of the darkness, another series of noises echoed…
