Chapter 3: The Encounter with My Childhood Friend

This is akin to a situation where a certain part of the brain's organization is infected by a virus, resulting in some areas becoming red and feeling slightly elastic, akin to rubber, when held in hand

Ye Lian's small hands appear unchanged from before, but the hardness of her nails is extraordinary, and her fingers are remarkably strong, capable of piercing flesh. This condition is clearly different from that of ordinary zombies

Since zombies are merely infected by a virus, and judging by Ye Lian's condition, the virus in her body has undergone some form of mutation... Given this, there might be a way to find a method to cure her

Ling Mo finally regained his composure after the shock of encountering Ye Lian again ... In a certain sense, Ye Lian's transformation into her current state is also his responsibility ...

The smell inside the car was quite strong; although it was sensed through the corpse puppet, Ling Mo couldn't help but furrow his brows

Upon thinking of this, Ling Mo controlled Ye Lian to stab through the back of the corpse puppet's head. Guided by this desire, Ye Lian quickly extracted a small piece of what appeared to be an infected gel-like substance from his brain

For a moment, Ling Mo was even a bit dazed, but when Ye Lian pulled her hand out from the intestines of the corpse puppet, Ling Mo suddenly came to his senses

While exerting every effort to control the corpse puppet, Ling Mo suddenly had a bold idea in his mind

Ye ... ... Ye Lian ... ...

Unexpectedly, just as I got up, the other hand of that shadow had already plunged into the soft abdomen of the corpse puppet.

However, just as Ling Mo was carefully controlling Ye Lian to stand up, he suddenly felt a surge of desire. This desire originated from Ye Lian's spiritual world, and its target was a certain object located in the back of the corpse puppet's head

I feel dizzy ... ... this hand is like a knife

Stimulated by the fresh scent of blood, her eyes seemed to turn even more crimson, and her strength suddenly increased. She seized the corpse's arm and flung it aside.

Looking at Ye Lian's blood-stained body, her pale face, and those eerily bright red eyes, Ling Mo felt a surge of mixed emotions. Although Ye Lian exuded an aura of coldness that made her seem extremely dangerous, her familiar features caused Ling Mo to feel a moment of daze.

What is going on

However, in this situation, Ling Mo could not afford to think too much. He made every effort to focus his attention on the light sphere of Ye Lian, attempting to delve deeper into it

As soon as the corpse doll fell to the ground, Ye Lian rushed over and directly grabbed the corpse doll by the neck with both hands

As soon as the corpse puppet jumped into the car, it stepped on a body, and upon looking down, Ling Mo was immediately filled with shock

As soon as this thought emerged, Ling Mo immediately directed the corpse puppet to fix its gaze firmly on Ye Lian's eyes. With Ling Mo's mind rapidly concentrating, in his view, the head of Ye Lian quickly transformed into a sphere of light.

However, at the same time, the back of the corpse puppet's head had already been torn open, and blood immediately gushed out.

Several panes of glass had indeed shattered, but none were large enough for a person to crawl through. Ling Mo controlled the corpse puppet to completely smash one of the openings, and then crawled inside

Moreover, ordinary zombies do not attack their kind, the corpse puppets... Upon recalling the car full of zombie bodies and glancing at Ye Lian, Ling Mo suddenly understood something

After much effort, Ling Mo had raised such a young and vigorous corpse puppet, and he felt a pang of heartache, while simultaneously being extremely wary of the shadow that was pinned down.

A surge of warmth immediately rose from the abdomen, quickly circulating throughout the body, and Ye Lian's previously weakened physique seemed to have received an instant boost in vitality

As the sensation of suffocation arose, the instincts of the corpse puppet were immediately triggered, while Ling Mo felt a wave of emptiness in his mind. The occurrence of this situation indicated that the corpse puppet was about to break free from his control

No one has escaped, nor has anyone entered; could it be that this zombie starved to death

Even though this hope is very slim, as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, Ling Mo is determined to give it a try

Lying below, the shadow of a hand probing into the abdomen of the corpse puppet was precisely the target he had been searching for, Ye Lian

After controlling Ye Lian to jump out of the car and walking to his hiding place, Ling Mo finally met Ye Lian in earnest.

I never expected this disgusting gel to have such an effect; perhaps Ye Lian's mutation is precisely due to consuming this gel...

Ling Mo was taken aback, and almost instinctively controlled the corpse puppet to fall backward, forcefully pinning the shadow to the ground

After the mutation, Ye Lian's beautiful big eyes turned blood red, but her expression was not twisted like that of a typical zombie; instead, it appeared quite normal and very cold.

Indeed, the situation is different from that of ordinary zombies. Ling Mo, who had not encountered any obstacles with the ordinary zombies, felt a resistance here with Ye Lian. Although it was relatively weak, Ling Mo felt his heartbeat momentarily pause.

Ling Mo suddenly felt a surge of fear, and just as he was momentarily stunned, a shadow suddenly sprang out from behind a seat, pouncing on the back of the corpse puppet like an agile leopard

The carriage is covered with large patches of blood and fragments of clothing, clearly indicating that a massacre occurred inside the vehicle after someone mutated

Her movements were far more agile than those of an ordinary zombie, and Ling Mo had not even reacted before he was already subdued by Ye Lian

He controlled the corpse puppet, using his elbow to press down on the shadow's neck, while his other hand gripped the shadow's wrist, simultaneously leveraging the force to rise up.

Although the corpse had decayed and was in a state of disarray, the swollen face still displayed a pair of bright red eyes that were clearly visible. It was evident that before death, he had already transformed into a zombie

The smell of blood and the stench of decay mingled together, making one feel utterly nauseated at the mere whiff

The shadow moved silently and with extreme agility. Although it lacked great strength, by the time Ling Mo sensed it, the shadow had already thrust its hand towards the back of the corpse's head

However, what lies here now are all mutated zombies, and Ling Mo noticed that their occipital regions had been hollowed out

At this moment, through the perspective of the corpse puppet, Ling Mo vaguely saw the situation inside the car

After the normal individuals in the vehicle have been devoured, the remaining zombies, driven by hunger, turn on each other. Ultimately, Ye Lian, the last survivor, seems to undergo even more bizarre changes beyond that of a zombie

He couldn't help but reach out his hand to wipe the bloodstains off Ye Lian's face: "Rest assured, brother will definitely find a way to help you recover"

In the dimly lit carriage, there are many indistinct figures, all of which are in a state of stillness

Although the corpse puppet lacks the sense of pain, Ling Mo's expression suddenly became extremely complex

When manipulating the corpse puppet, Ling Mo had never sensed any emotional fluctuations from it, as the corpse puppet had no needs beyond its instincts.

Has Ye Lian regained some thoughts? ... But looking at her appearance, it doesn't seem so ...

And yet, at this moment, he sensed something from Ye Lian, which left Ling Mo both puzzled and pleasantly surprised. Since the mutation could generate a desire, then continuing to mutate might just restore his rationality

Ling Mo hurriedly controlled the corpse puppet to continue moving towards the car, but soon he realized that something was amiss

After bypassing the front of the vehicle, it is evident that both the front and rear doors have been deformed due to the impact, making them impossible to open

However, the color of this light sphere is distinctly different from that of ordinary zombies. Zombies, having lost their rationality due to the influence of the virus, move solely based on instinct, and thus the light spheres representing their spiritual world are merely static, blurred entities. In contrast, Ye Lian's spiritual light sphere is evidently much brighter and subtly tinged with red

Ling Mo turned it over and over for a while, then, suppressing his nausea, stuffed the piece of gel into Ye Lian's mouth

Ling Mo had made many assumptions, but he never expected to find Ye Lian in such a situation

When Ling Mo finally managed to control Ye Lian, he was already drenched in cold sweat, and during this process, the corpse puppet was completely strangled to death by Ye Lian

While Ling Mo was lost in thought, the intestines of the corpse puppet had already been pulled out by Ye Lian, with blood gushing forth and splattering onto her body

Precisely at the moment the shadow made its move, Ling Mo had already prepared to counterattack. However, upon seeing the appearance of the shadow clearly, he was momentarily stunned.

Who did it
