Chapter 1297: The Suddenly Appearing Hunting Target

“Alright, it’s time for us to move as well,” Ling Mo said. As time passed, those Zombies who kept their distance out of fear would eventually lose patience and rush in, and that would be troublesome.

“Are we going to kill people? Fun!”

“Should we meet up with Mu Chen and the others first?”

Li Yalin and Xu Shuhan spoke at the same time. From the content of their questions, it was clear that the thought patterns of these two Female Zombies were completely different.

“No need. Even with the list, dealing with these people won’t be easy. Keeping our numbers small actually makes it easier to act,” Ling Mo said.

“Yeah, and bringing humans along is a hassle,” Black Silk said bluntly.

“Yuwen Xuan is quite self-aware…” Xia Na said thoughtfully.

Ling Mo immediately smiled… Madman? Maybe he had already guessed.

But since the other party never asked and even took the initiative to avoid the topic, Ling Mo naturally wouldn’t bring it up either. Since no one broke the unspoken understanding, it was actually better for both sides.

“Let’s find a place to rest for the night. We’ll set out tomorrow. As for the armory here, let’s leave it for Mu Chen and the others to find at their own pace.”

The biggest trouble had already been dealt with by them. As long as Mu Chen and the others were careful, nothing would happen…

A few days later…

“Instructor, we’ve confirmed the route up the mountain. And on the way, we even found military vehicles.” Zhang Xincheng hurried back from a fork in the road with Skinny Monkey, speaking excitedly.

Ye Kai and Mu Chen exchanged a glance and immediately stood up. “Found it!”

“With these weapons, we can equip all our people. Those old weapons rarely get maintained and are dangerous. Now we can throw out what needs to be thrown out,” Mu Chen said excitedly.

“Yeah, plus the food we found earlier, our Base’s survival rate and combat power have both improved a lot.”

“All thanks to the captain. If it were us, we wouldn’t have found it.”

“Yeah… I just wonder how the captain and the others are doing now…” Gu Shuangshuang said worriedly.

“They’re probably still being hunted by Falcon. I hope the captain and the others are safe,” Ye Kai sighed.

“Let’s not think about it. First, let’s find the exact location of the warehouse. Once Lucy and the others arrive, we can start moving things.”

“That’s right!”

“I’m looking forward to it. I wonder if there are cannons.”

“Even if there are, you wouldn’t know how to use them…”

After this group walked far away, a figure silently appeared where they had just been standing.

“Captain? Falcon?”

The figure glanced in the direction the team had disappeared. “Since they won’t come here, I’ll leave. Should I kill them?”

After a brief thought, it shook its head. “Maybe that would alert them. I’ll go.”

With a slight sway, the figure vanished from the spot.

From beginning to end, Mu Chen Squad hadn’t noticed a thing, let alone realized that just a second ago, they had brushed past death…

At the same time, in a district of X City.

“Bang!”

With the last Zombie chopped down, only Ling Mo’s group remained standing in this area.

“Whew… Who would’ve thought such a small neighborhood would have so many mutation-level Zombies, and even two Advanced-level ones.” Ling Mo looked at two of the corpses and sighed. 𝘳а𐌽ɵʙʧ

“Ahahaha… That scared me to death,” Yuwen Xuan laughed.

“Is this really the time to laugh? And Ling Mo, can you please think about it? Stop gathering all the Zombies at once. What if something big comes?” Xu Shuhan said angrily, her face full of horror.

“Host Xu, you’re too timid,” Ling Mo shook his head helplessly. Ever since entering X City, the frequency of encountering large groups of Zombies had increased exponentially. Not just Zombies, but quite a few mutation beasts as well.

“But you’re right. Next is the city center, so we can’t use this method anymore,” Ling Mo added.

The method he referred to wasn’t just attracting large groups of Zombies with sound or scent, but also having Pear and Xiao Bai drive out the hidden Zombies at the same time. Once the battle ended and Ling Mo’s group left the battlefield, Xiao Bai Squad would follow up and extract any usable Gel.

“City center…” Xu Shuhan couldn’t help but show a trace of fear.

“That’s probably where the most Senior Zombies are,” Yuwen Xuan’s expression also grew serious, “and also where the most Survivors are.”

The most densely populated place before the Cataclysm… Even now, you could still hear some distant roars.

“Yeah, the evolution and slaughter there are the most brutal,” Ling Mo sighed, then said, “Since that’s the case, let’s rest here for the night before moving on.”

“Stay away from those corpses,” Xu Shuhan called out.

“Alright, this neighborhood is safe now… Hm? Xia Na, Senior Sister, what are you looking at?” Ling Mo was about to call everyone to leave, but noticed that the Zombies, including Black Silk and Yu Shiran, were all gathered around a corpse. Only Ye Lian was still obediently by his side, glancing around from time to time.

“Sausage, come and take a look.” Yu Shiran lifted her head, a hint of excitement on her little face.

After some time of education, this zombie Loli at least knew not to call him “Human” in front of others, but shortening it to “Sausage”…

“Forget it, it’s still better than ‘Sausage Humans’…” Ling Mo thought helplessly.

At the same time, he was a bit curious… What had these zombies discovered now?

Ever since entering the urban area of X City, they had made one discovery after another…

First was the variation zombie… Variation zombies were originally a special group, and one of their Progenitors was the Spider Queen. But after a period of mutual slaughter and Devour, these variation zombies gradually merged into the zombie population. Or, to be more precise… the zombies as a whole underwent a new evolution.

They fused the traits of variation zombies, becoming even more troublesome Creatures. But overall, no matter how troublesome these zombies were, they only gained some unpredictable features on top of the mutation-level base. The ones with truly special evolution were the real headache. Fortunately, Ling Mo and the others had only seen one such zombie from afar. For safety’s sake, they hadn’t gone to provoke it.

“If evolution continues, zombies will completely break away from the basic concept of ‘human body’, becoming a new species reborn from a chaotic mix after Niepan. I hope that day never comes… But this isn’t something we can control. Zombies in other regions have already united, and the chance of evolving a new species is much higher.” Ling Mo thought to himself.

“Thinking too much again without realizing…” Ling Mo quickly shook his head. These crises were still too far off…

At this moment, he had already walked up to the corpse…

“Ling-Ge, come and look.” Xia Na flipped the corpse over with her Scythe.

“Hmm? What’s this?” Ling Mo was stunned for a moment.

This zombie actually had a lot of gray fur growing on its body?

He hadn’t noticed during the fight earlier, but now that he looked, it was indeed strange…

“This is from a mutation beast,” Black Silk explained.

“Mutation beast?” Ling Mo’s heart trembled, and he instantly understood.

A zombie fused with mutation beast genes had finally appeared…

“I wonder if there will be even more weirdo Monsters in the city center…”

“Ling-Ge, it’ll still be a while before we reach A City…” Xia Na suddenly said.

“You mean?”

“They want to help me hunt a zombie like this,” Li Yalin blinked and spoke up.

Hunt zombies? Ling Mo reacted almost instantly.

Wasn’t Senior Sister following this exact path!

Although it didn’t show on her appearance, when she fully entered zombie mode, her eyes and her boneless, flexible body were extremely similar to a snake!

Now that she saw a similar zombie, of course she wanted to find a Senior Zombie among them and Devour its mother hive.

“I’m afraid it won’t be easy to find,” Ling Mo frowned.

The zombie they had just killed was only mutation-level, and its Gel was useless to Li Yalin.

“Don’t worry, we already have a clue.” After exchanging glances, the group of zombies let Black Silk speak up with a mischievous smile.

A flash of silver appeared on her head, and a silver thread drilled out, swaying left and right atop her head like an antenna: “Don’t forget what my main job is.”

“That’s true…” Ling Mo was stunned, then smiled and nodded, “So, you smelled something from this corpse?”

“Yes, it’s a very faint, very special scent, just like some mutation beasts I’ve smelled before. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t be able to tell. And I’m sure it once got close to a Senior Zombie in this state. And it’s not just this one…” Black Silk glanced at the other corpses nearby and said, “These corpses also have this scent. But none of them are very strong.”

“What?”

“In other words, that Senior Zombie must be nearby,” Xia Na licked her lips and concluded.

Indeed, there’s no way so many zombies all happened to get close to it… For this to happen, there’s only one explanation. That is, this Senior Zombie is very likely the dominant of this area.

“Alright, that zombie is just unlucky, having such a distinctive scent.” Ling Mo smiled with some anticipation.

Senior Sister rarely encountered a suitable mother hive. If she could successfully hunt one, even if it didn’t help her evolve again, it would still strengthen her “mutation beast traits.”

“All advanced moves unlocked? Just thinking about it is pretty exciting…” Ling Mo couldn’t help but think.

“But so many zombies have encountered it, which means it’s quite active. The more active it is, the harder it will be to hunt. When the time comes, it’ll probably cause quite a commotion…”

Ling Mo instantly analyzed a lot… But even so, such a good opportunity couldn’t be missed…
