For the next few days, Ling Mo's main goal was to explore the surroundings of X City University. He constantly went in and out of this extremely bustling area.
In addition to exploring the environment, he also collected a lot of supplies, especially medicine, which was relatively scarce, as well as some high-energy food.
After Ye Lian and Xia Na had both been upgraded, the powerful combat strength they displayed made the process of hunting mutated zombies much easier.
However, in most cases, Ling Mo didn't let them fight. Instead, he used these precious opportunities to practice his zombie puppeteer skills.
But after all, he had just started using them. Ling Mo still wasn't proficient enough in using the tentacles …
"Bang!"
A mutated zombie pounced out from behind the counter, and Ling Mo had no choice but to roll on the ground, using the shelves behind him to temporarily block the attack.
His spiritual tentacles had just been blocked, but the effect was minimal. It was only able to make this tall variant zombie pause for a moment.
Depressed, Ling Mo used the obstacles to deal with this extremely powerful mutated zombie while thinking about the appropriate use of his tentacles.
Hearing the shelves behind him being continuously kicked over, and the entire store seemed like it was going to be torn apart by this mutated zombie, Ling Mo had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn around. In the process of rushing towards the mutated zombie, invisible spiritual tentacles madly swept towards the other party.
In reality, when facing this type of mutated zombie, Ling Mo's zombie puppeteer skills would have very little effect, especially when the other party was extremely aggressive like now.
If he failed to control it like before, at such a close distance, Ling Mo would probably be torn to pieces on the spot.
Even Xia Na, who was watching from afar, showed a trace of hesitation. She didn't know whether she should help or not. And Ye Lian's reaction was even more direct. Her eyes suddenly turned blood red, and her knees slightly bent, as if she would rush out at any time. If it wasn't for Ling Mo's distraction to comfort her, she might have already rushed out.
Ever since Ye Lian had gone through another upgrade and finally gained self-awareness, her aggressiveness was more than ten times stronger than before. Although Ling Mo's control did not weaken, he rarely controlled her forcefully. Most of the time, he mainly comforted and guided her.
Ten meters, five meters, three meters!
The spiritual tentacles wrapped around the Variant Zombie's spiritual ball of light, causing the Variant Zombie to be momentarily confused, but it quickly broke free from the spiritual shackles, its pair of claws covered in all sorts of suspicious substances directly attacked Ling Mo.
But at this moment, something strange happened. His target was clearly Ling Mo, but his hands fell more than a meter away from Ling Mo. It looked as if he had sprained his ankle while attacking. Not only did his body move to the side, but his attack also missed.
Visual distortion! Although Ling Mo's spiritual tentacles couldn't immediately control the Variant Zombie, but it could affect the opponent's actions in a very short time, and then affect the opponent's judgment!
Seeing that the mutated zombie's attack had deviated, Ling Mo's eyes suddenly showed a trace of a smile. At the moment when he brushed past the mutated zombie, the short knife in his hand directly stabbed into the mutated zombie's ribs from the side, and then forcefully twisted it a bit.
Blood spurted out, the Variant Zombie staggered a few steps, and then crashed to the ground.
Ye Lian's desire to attack calmed down, and Xia Na returned to normal, walked over with great speed and precision, and pulled out the virus gel from the back of the Variant Zombie's brain.
"Phew … I'm dead. Spiritual power, this thing, has a wide range of uses, and the effect is very strong, but it's really not easy to use it flexibly."
Ling Mo's legs softened. If he hadn't leaned on Ye Lian in time, he would have probably fallen on the corpse.
His forehead was covered with sweat, and his head was swollen with pain, but his heart was full of joy.
This mutated zombie was the most efficient one he had killed in the past few days using his zombie puppeteer ability. Although it still couldn't be regarded as very flexible, the true power of his Zombie Puppet Controlling ability was gradually revealed.
"No, that's it for today. Let's go back."
Ling Mo took the virus gel that Xia Na handed over and said. The practice of using spiritual power was the same as the physical body. Doing it too much would only hurt the foundation.
What's more, he still needed to maintain the spiritual connection with Ye Lian and Xia Na, so he couldn't fight too much.
Xia Na looked at him curiously, then nodded, and then couldn't help but say: "Your fighting style is very strange."
"Is it strange?" Ling Mo doubtfully asked, and then came back to his senses. His spiritual tentacles could only be seen by himself. In Xia Na's eyes, he had been miserably running away, then was forced to face the enemy, and finally took advantage of the unlucky Variant Zombie sprained its leg to win by a fluke.
Right now he still wasn't proficient enough in using the spiritual tentacles, so it was inevitable that the fighting process was a bit awkward. But Ling Mo felt that he had already figured out some tricks. Presumably, the next time he used it, it wouldn't be like this.
I still need to practice more …
In the past few days, it had been raining in X City, and it seemed that autumn had arrived.
As the weather gradually turned cold, a harsher test for humans was about to come. Zombies weren't afraid of the cold, but humans were different.
After being washed by the rain for the past few days, the strong rotten smell on the road had been diluted a lot, but the lingering smell of blood in the air had become stronger.
When passing by a clothing store, Ling Mo found a few thick coats on the way, and put them on for Ye Lian and Xia Na. He also put on a black windbreaker.
But under Ling Mo's request and malicious guidance, Ye Lian and Xia Na wore extremely sexy clothes under their coats.
After putting on the clothes, Xia Na actually showed a strong interest in the hollowed-out parts. Seeing that her reaction was beyond his expectations, Ling Mo couldn't help but think that if he asked her to wear hollowed-out underwear, she would probably be very cooperative …
In the past few days, their range of activities in the vicinity had gradually expanded. If it wasn't for their extraordinary physical strength, it would have been very difficult for them to rush back to the construction site before dark.
But when they were still a hundred meters away from the residential building, Ling Mo suddenly stopped, and his face instantly became extremely ugly!
The few zombies that he had deliberately left at the construction site had disappeared!
A trace of a bad premonition suddenly welled up in his heart. Under the cover of the rain, Ling Mo immediately ran towards the residential building with Ye Lian and Xia Na.
On the way, he found a fresh zombie corpse next to an abandoned car. Because it had been raining for the past few days, no zombies had been attracted over.
This zombie had died here, which meant that not only had someone passed by here, but they had also entered the parking lot and killed this zombie.
Ling Mo's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled. He pulled out a short knife from his waist, squatted down, and used the tip of the knife to pry open the clothes that were stuck to the zombie's body by the blood and rain.
A bloody wound had penetrated the zombie's chest and abdomen. Under the washing of the rain, the pale skin and flesh were turned outside, revealing a terrible wound that was half a finger deep.
This kind of wound shouldn't have been caused by an ordinary knife. From Ling Mo's point of view, this person might have used some kind of extremely heavy weapon.
A person who could wield a heavy weapon seemed to have a certain level of strength ….
After standing up, Ling Mo looked at the residential building not far away.
