Chapter 690: The Berserk Uncle

“Hurry! Hurry!” Mu Chen urged continuously.

Running through these narrow gaps required not only dealing with the zombies emerging ahead but also keeping a wary eye on the large group of pursuers behind, making it easy to lose one’s sense of direction.

But with Ye Lian around, there was no need to worry about that.

As long as they headed towards areas crowded with zombies, they were inevitably moving closer to the center of Cuihu.

In this regard, Xia Na and Li Yalin were slightly inferior to Ye Lian. After breaking through to the dominant level, Ye Lian’s sense of smell had been enhanced to another level.

With each breath, the surrounding situation was conveyed through scents. She could determine where the zombies were and where there were more of them just by smell.

With Ye Lian leading the way, Ling Mo didn’t need to be distracted.

“Roar! Roar!”

The group of zombies trailing behind started to roar from time to time, attracting more zombies to appear from all directions.

“What do we do now?” Mu Chen asked anxiously.

“Don’t panic…” Just as Ling Mo finished speaking, Ye Lian turned around while running, raised her gun, and fired. The Big Guy behind them let out a miserable howl.

“Roar!”

The Big Guy’s burly body staggered backward several steps, with a fresh, bloody wound appearing on his already injured leg.

It seemed that his entire leg was now broken, but the Big Guy didn’t fall. Instead, he swung his arm fiercely, smashing a steel claw into the wall beside him with a loud “thud,” and opened his mouth in a furious roar: “Roar!”

The sound made Mu Chen frown involuntarily, and Xu Shuhan covered her ears: “Ah!”

Several zombies had just rushed out from the side, quite close to the Big Guy.

Stimulated by the strong smell of blood, these zombies used both hands and feet to claw at the walls and pounced forward.

The zombies behind them were also getting restless, but since they were still a distance away, they didn’t immediately charge forward.

A zombie leaped up and landed directly on the Big Guy, grabbing his head with its long nails digging into his scalp. Blood spurted out as the zombie twisted its arms, trying to tear the Big Guy’s head off his thick neck.

Two more zombies latched on, biting down.

“Roar!”

The Big Guy, eyes bloodshot, slammed into the wall with a roar.

The zombie clinging to his arm was caught in the middle, spewing blood everywhere.

The Big Guy yanked another zombie off, throwing it to the ground and stomping on it.

With a crunch, ribs snapped, and bloody foam bubbled from its mouth.

The zombie that had been pulling at his scalp was also ripped away and slammed against the wall. The Big Guy bit into its neck.

As a large chunk of flesh was torn off, blood gushed out like a fountain.

The Big Guy turned his head, his mouth covered in blood, and roared at Ling Mo and the others: “Roar! Human…”

“Damn! It’s speaking!” Mu Chen felt a chill down his spine and shouted.

“Zombies at this level have already regained the ability to speak,” Ling Mo explained. “Most zombies don’t need to speak when they’re with other zombies, so they get out of the habit. When they encounter humans, they usually stay silent.”

“Thanks for the info, but why are you so calm… Run!”

Mu Chen yelled and took off running.

“I guess I underestimated him. The injury has pushed him to the late stage of evolution. He’s not at the Leader-Level yet, but his natural size advantage can’t be ignored…” Ling Mo analyzed while running.

“Who cares about that monster…” Mu Chen muttered, conflicted. How did Ling Mo develop such a strong interest in zombies? Most people just need to know that they are humanity’s enemies!

“But the zombies here are clearly different from the ones we’ve encountered before. They’re not just troublesome but also much stronger. Remember when we faced a similar situation before? That was just a small group, but here it seems widespread…”

Ling Mo ignored Mu Chen and continued speaking. freeweɓnøvel.com

Xia Na swung her scythe, slicing through two zombies that emerged ahead. She turned and said, “We can’t be sure yet.”

“Yeah, but I have a feeling there’s something in Cuihu City…”

This feeling wasn’t just a random guess. Since entering here, Ling Mo had felt a vague sense of unease.

This sensation was similar to what he experienced when entering that underground parking lot, like his instincts were sensing a powerful and dangerous presence.

“What about you guys? Do you feel anything off here?” Ling Mo asked quietly.

“Nope,” Li Yalin shook her head.

“I see…” Ling Mo nodded thoughtfully.

So, the alarm in his body wasn’t triggered by the Virus, but by his Psychic Power…

But what could it be that even made him feel uneasy?

And what about the Air Force Corps? What did they encounter to classify this place as high-risk?

An aerial exploration team, even if they saw something extraordinary, wouldn’t be in much danger, right?

As long as they don’t fly at low altitudes, what can zombies do to them…

Even that Bird Zombie we encountered earlier could only glide after mutation, far from actual flying…

“Could this have something to do with Niepan?” Ling Mo suddenly thought of a possibility and asked.

“How would I know? My branch is practically the cold palace,” Mu Chen rolled his eyes and added, “And in that cold palace, I’m just a benchwarmer. I don’t know shit!”

“That’s true…” Ling Mo nodded.

After Mu Chen finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was off…

He rarely got Ling Mo’s approval, but why did it make him feel even more frustrated…

“Roar!”

The Big Guy was still hot on their heels, with most of the zombies trailing far behind.

Having displayed strength far beyond ordinary zombies, the Big Guy’s wounds were still bleeding, but no other zombies dared approach him recklessly.

Any zombies that appeared between Ling Mo’s group and the Big Guy were swiftly dealt with by him.

His eyes were now completely bloodshot; anything that dared block him was courting death.

Any zombies in front were also swiftly handled by Ye Lian and the others.

This chase through the buildings unexpectedly put Ling Mo’s group in the advantageous position.

“This way.”

Ling Mo led the group around a corner, while Ye Lian turned around, raising her gun once more.

However, this time her target was the Big Guy’s head…

Seeing that black muzzle for the third time, the Big Guy finally wised up, but just as he tried to dodge, he felt an invisible noose tighten around his neck.

Splash!

Blood mixed with other substances sprayed from the back of his head. The Big Guy’s eyes widened, his mouth now a bloody mess.

A chunk of red, gel-like substance that was expelled simultaneously was suddenly caught in mid-air.

“Mu Chen,” Xia Na called out.

“Huh?”

As Mu Chen turned his head, the gel had already traced an arc, landing in the plastic bag Ling Mo pulled out.

Xu Shuhan stared wide-eyed as Ling Mo pocketed the gel. Remembering his smooth movements, she was utterly dumbfounded.

“Sure enough, that state earlier was a response to stimulation, even the purity of the gel improved… But it looks no different from a normal zombie’s gel…”

Ling Mo pondered, then noticed Xu Shuhan staring at him in shock.

He coughed and patted her shoulder, “You’ll get used to it.”

“G-get used to it…”

Xu Shuhan was completely frozen. What exactly was she supposed to get used to?

“It’s nothing,” Xia Na glanced at Ling Mo, who had already finished his task, and then at Mu Chen, who was waiting for her next word. She said indifferently.

“I thought you were going to screw me over again…” Mu Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead in relief.

After the Big Guy fell, Ye Lian fired several more shots, taking down a few Mutation Zombies within the zombie horde.

The intense scent of blood, especially from the Big Guy’s corpse, immediately incited a frenzy among the zombies.

As Ling Mo had mentioned, ordinary zombie corpses could be ignored, but the body of an advanced zombie was an opportunity they couldn’t pass up…

Some zombies continued to sniff hungrily, searching for the fleeting scent of gel.

However, with his extensive experience, Ling Mo had already wrapped the plastic bag in his pocket several times, completely sealing off the scent.

In no time, nearly all the zombies, except for a few, had gathered around those corpses.

“Let’s go!”

With a wave of his hand, Ling Mo led the group into the greenery ahead.

According to the signs, passing through this area would bring them to the center of Cuihu City.

What was hidden in this small city…

“Roar…”

A zombie, covered in blood, crawled up from the ground, its mouth completely stained with blood, and a crazed look in its eyes.

Around it, more zombies were tearing at the flesh on the ground.

Amidst the pools of blood lay numerous unrecognizable body parts…

At this moment, behind the horde, a figure stood silently in the shadows.

“To think they’d come here… This is troublesome… but also an opportunity…”

The figure let out a cold laugh. This self-talk immediately caught the attention of the zombie.

It whipped its head around, staring into the shadows.

“Roar…”

This growl was shaky, more fearful than threatening.

“Shh.”

The figure raised a hand, placing a finger to its lips.

In the dim light, a pair of purple-red eyes gleamed coldly.

The zombie froze, motionless.

“Perfect, you’ll do.”

As soon as he spoke, the zombie suddenly began to shuffle towards the shadow, its legs wobbling…
