Chapter 2: Crossing the Danger Zone

The sensation of controlling a corpse puppet is quite marvelous, as if one has gained an additional avatar. Through the mental connection with the corpse puppet, one can not only manipulate its actions but also receive feedback from its sensory organs.

I just don't know the situation of the passengers inside the vehicle; perhaps they are trapped and dead, or maybe they have all turned into zombies

There is a high possibility that Ye Lian was in this vehicle at that time; if she had not escaped in time, she should still be here now

However, between Ling Mo and the corpse puppet, there exists a layer of barrier that prevents him from truly manipulating the corpse puppet with ease

The most critical aspect is that this was originally a warehouse for a small furniture factory, filled with the smell of inferior paint and wood, which could completely mask Ling Mo's presence

It is precisely for this reason that Ling Mo has always had a knot in his heart; whether in life or death, he feels he should find Ye Lian

Ling Mo planned to first observe from a high vantage point, but unexpectedly, as he approached a residential building, he heard a scream not far away.

It is easy to imagine the difficulty for an ordinary person to act in such an environment, but fortunately, Ling Mo has a corpse puppet

Brother Ling, hurry and escape

With a loud crash, the security door was finally knocked down, and the screams of the two young men were quickly drowned out

When the last glimmer of light at the horizon disappeared, Ling Mo had already returned to mhetushu.com.

In fact, Ling Mo was also well aware that Ye Lian was most likely in grave danger. When the disaster broke out, she was on her way to his residence with the intention of preparing a decent dinner for him, hoping to improve his quality of life

Shouting like this will only attract more zombies. Originally, Ling Mo wanted to help them within his capabilities, but it now seems that acting rashly would only endanger himself

Even though many zombies have been killed in recent days, this is the first time Ling Mo has seen so many zombies gathered together. A rough glance reveals that there are probably dozens within sight, not to mention those hidden in the shadows

In Ling Mo's view, the realm of complete control is likely to be the fusion with a corpse puppet...

The two young men appeared ashen, their cries becoming even more heart-wrenching in their extreme fear

Help!

Indeed, some zombies were quickly attracted over, and the security door was repeatedly slammed, producing a "bang bang" sound, while the connection to the wall began to show obvious signs of loosening

The corpse puppet remained obediently stationed outside the door under his control, its clothing soaked by the cold air. Yet, judging by his appearance, he showed no signs of fatigue

Tomorrow, I will go find ... ...

With the assistance of the corpse puppets, Ling Mo continuously killed over ten zombies, finally passing through this area and arriving at a once-bustling street.

When ! ''

For reasons unknown, the sudden large-scale outbreak of the virus not only transformed many living individuals into monsters but also made their bodies exceptionally robust. However, Ling Mo also noticed that it was precisely to sustain the high-intensity consumption of their bodies that they instinctively drove themselves to continuously feed, with the source of food being the uninfected survivors.

Every time Ye Lian arrives, it seems she comes by bus... As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Ling Mo's gaze towards the bus changed.

Before going to sleep, Ling Mo first fed the corpse puppet a piece of rotten frozen meat, then left it outside the iron gate and locked the gate securely, after which he finally felt at ease to rest.

Abandoned cars are everywhere on the streets, and the shops along the way are wide open, appearing dark at a glance

However, for Ling Mo, this was an opportunity; as many zombies were attracted over, he could just pass through this area.

After gripping the boning knife tightly, Ling Mo opened the iron door and directed the corpse puppet along the predetermined route.

Is it a decaying corpse, or is there nothing left at all, or perhaps...

A brief four-character phrase, followed by the busy sound of "du du" from the books...

It is easy to say that one should both rest and maintain a connection with the corpse puppet, but in practice, it is quite difficult. Ling Mo has attempted countless times to find the right balance. Now, when he sleeps, he remains in a light sleep state, able even to hear the subtle sounds around him

Apart from the bloodstains that are everywhere, all that remains here are the zombies

Even in sleep, Ling Mo did not sever the mental connection between himself and the zombie. Although this was quite exhausting, it served to train himself on one hand, and on the other hand, it was equivalent to keeping watch for himself

The only way is to choose areas with fewer zombies and pass through as quietly as possible

However, today Ling Mo found it difficult to fall asleep, as the figure kept appearing in his mind...

This is an unassuming small building, which, in addition to having a sturdy iron door, also allows for escape by jumping to the adjacent building from the rooftop. Furthermore, there is relatively open space both in front and behind the house. Given that this area is originally suburban, both survivors and zombies are significantly fewer in number compared to the city, making it relatively safer.

Outside a residential building, more than ten zombies are gathered, frantically banging against the security door at the entrance of the unit

After exhaling deeply, Ling Mo controlled the corpse puppet and crawled onto the deformed front of the vehicle.

However, in order to pass as safely as possible, Ling Mo has made ample preparations; everything is ready, just waiting for tomorrow

The last call received during the outbreak of the disaster was also from her

During a disaster, the number of vehicles involved in accidents is not small, especially when it comes to buses filled with passengers. Whether it is due to the passengers inside the vehicle mutating or being startled by the conditions on the road, such tragic incidents can occur.

Although I felt fully mentally prepared, when the moment actually arrived to face it, Ling Mo still felt a bit of panic

Ling Mo originally intended to bypass it, but as he stared at the bus, his mind suddenly went "buzz".

Although it feels somewhat strange, Ling Mo is quite looking forward to that kind of realm

I did not expect to find survivors here! Ling Mo quickly controlled the corpse puppet and cautiously approached the direction from which the sound came.

Behind the door were two young men with expressions of terror, desperately bracing themselves against the door while frantically calling for help

After the passing of my parents, the only person I care about in this world is her, my crush, who is also my childhood neighbor, Ye Lian

He felt his heart racing intensely all of a sudden, both in anticipation and with a sense of fear

At dawn, as the first light broke, Ling Mo opened his eyes and jumped down from a half-finished soft bed. After rearranging his backpack once more, Ling Mo took a deep breath and went downstairs

He had long envisioned the places where she might appear, not too far from here, but separated by two residential communities, making it the most dangerous stretch of area.

After successfully passing through this densely populated area of zombies, Ling Mo had not yet had the chance to feel happy when he discovered that the intersection ahead was blocked by a bus and several small cars

Fool..." Ling Mo furrowed his brows, glancing around nervously.

After preparing for so long, Ling Mo felt that with the ability to control the corpse puppets, he should be able to traverse this urban area.

Those monsters, after being infected by the virus, not only did not lose their five senses, but instead became stronger. Even at night, they maintain clear vision, and their hearing and sense of smell are unmatched by ordinary people

This area serves as a transitional zone between the urban and suburban regions, and according to Ling Mo's prediction, when Ye Lian made that phone call, she should have been at some location on this main street

Upon entering the residential community, the number of wandering zombies increased. In such an environment, attracting attention through sound is ineffective, as the surroundings are too complex, making it easy to fall into danger.

Given the circumstances, this bus has been involved in a chain collision with these small cars that are desperately fleeing, resulting in significant deformation of the entire vehicle
