Chapter 608: I Have Special Sneak Attack Skills
A massive, furry creature curled up in the corner, at first glance, it indeed looked like a white furball… if not for the tiny furball on its body that was shaking too conspicuously.
“Why do I have a bad feeling about Xiao Bai’s condition?” Yu Shiran couldn’t help but lean forward a bit more and whispered.
A few seconds later, the expression on the face of the zombie loli turned rather unpleasant as she clenched her fists in frustration and exclaimed, “Hey! Even though I made the decision to let it draw the fire first, don’t forget we’re symbiotes! You could have stopped me!… No! Don’t start with the ‘I’m just a dog’ bit, I’m still just a kid!”
“No! I mean, I said I’m a genius, but what does that have to do with me being a kid! I am… a little genius!”
Yu Shiran squatted on the ground, gesticulating wildly as she “talked to herself” for a while, before turning her gaze back to Xiao Bai: “It doesn’t seem injured…”
Xiao Bai did indeed look a bit listless at the moment. Although from the observations, it didn’t seem like it would turn into watery corpses due to infection, considering the Mutated Beast virus in its body was currently battling the sticky virus, and that a little zombie had just been pulled out of its throat a few minutes ago, its current state was understandable.
Unfortunately, Yu Shiran and Black Silk were unaware of these details, so the zombie loli quickly started to speculate about other possibilities.
“Shiran, save me… MeGu!”
“MeGu! I’ve been internally wounded!”
“Me~Gu~”
“No, that’s not right.” Yu Shiran quickly shook her head, dispelling these fantasies.
Still, her expression uncontrollably turned a bit strange, she bit her lip, and twisted her fingers.
“It’s fine, as long as we completely rescue it from that human’s grasp, we’ll be even!”
She quickly found an appropriate solution, and coming up with this idea clearly made Yu Shiran feel much more relaxed.
“Phew! It’s really strange…” the zombie loli rubbed her left chest, puzzled, “I thought I felt a bit of tightness in my chest just now, how come it suddenly feels better? Could it not be a lack of physical strength? Weird…”
After pinpointing Xiao Bai’s location, Yu Shiran immediately looked around with vigilance and then slowly approached along the wall.
The zombies that were following were engaged in a fight with Ling Mo and his group, neither side seemed to have the spare attention to notice her.
Yu Shiran successfully reached the vicinity of Xiao Bai, closing the distance between them to less than five meters.
Hiding behind a half-length cargo container, she carefully poked her head out to take a peek at Ling Mo and his group.
“Not detected!”
The zombie loli grinned slyly and then turned her head to signal Xiao Bai: “Psst! Psst psst!”
Xiao Bai lifted its heavy head alertly, drooping its eyelids to glance in the direction of the sound.
“Psst psst! Over here!”
The zombie loli waved vigorously: “Shh! I’m here to rescue you!”
“MeGu?” Xiao Bai shifted its bulky body, looking somewhat confused as it tilted its head.
“Don’t move…” The zombie loli pressed her hand down, slowly straightening up while stealthily keeping an eye on Ling Mo and his group.
“My kind, let me give you a hand.” Yu Shiran smiled wickedly, then started rummaging in her backpack.
As a companion of Ling Mo, the zombie loli naturally couldn’t escape the fate of being used as a pack mule.
Moreover, due to Ling Mo’s wariness of Mu Chen and the others, most of the useful things were actually with Yu Shiran and Xiao Bai.
However, the backpack on Yu Shiran was much smaller and lighter compared to the one on Xiao Bai.
“Hee hee, Sausage Humans…”
The zombie loli quickly pulled out a small knife that gleamed coldly from the bag, then set her sights on Ling Mo.
She wasn’t usually accustomed to using weapons, but in order to deal with Ling Mo, she decided to make an exception for herself.
“Hmm hmm hmm…”
The zombie loli held the knife in one hand, silently hiding on the side, looking for an opportunity.
To the other zombies, Ling Mo, sticking close to the wall and sheltered behind two leader level female zombies, with his unpredictable attack methods, seemed almost impossible to approach.
But from Yu Shiran’s angle, she could perfectly see Ling Mo’s side profile.
With the distance between them factored in, Yu Shiran was confident she could land a successful hit.
Most importantly, Ling Mo would never expect that she could actually persuade Black Silk…
“Hehe, foolish humans, letting a zombie and a Mutated Beast stay together every day, of course the smarter zombie will win!” Yu Shiran sneered to herself.
Meanwhile, the battle in front had reached a fever pitch.
The continuous fall of zombies did not deter the remaining mutated zombies; instead, it incited an even greater battle fervor.
Although these were newly born mutated zombies, they were much more difficult to deal with than the average mutated level zombies.
Of course, in this era where full-body mutations were the norm, being stronger than the mutated level wasn’t really something to brag about, at least not in terms of numbers—they were far behind.
The true strength of the mutated zombies lay in their growth potential, which was the most powerful weapon allowing them to hold their own within hordes of zombies.
Unfortunately, at this moment, this weapon was useless.
Faced with two leader level mutated zombies and a humanoid Tentacle Monster, they didn’t stand a chance to grow and evolve.
“Swish!”
Shana’s scythe swept horizontally, sending two zombies that Ling Mo had just intercepted from mid-air tumbling back.
As they retreated, Ye Lian quickly raised her gun and fired two precise shots.
With two muffled sounds, one zombie’s head vanished into thin air, its neck spurting blood like a fountain before collapsing, while the other lost a leg.
The zombie “Ao Ao” cried out, attempting to continue its assault, but not yet accustomed to moving on one leg. It lunged forward only to knock down one of its own kind.
Even though it had pounced on the wrong target, the zombie showed no signs of letting go.
The intense smell of blood and the shadow of death from significant blood loss quickly drove the one-legged zombie into a frenzy.
It pressed down on the unfortunate fellow, reaching out to dig into the back of its victim’s skull.
“Zombies… really are a race that specializes in betraying their own kind…” Ling Mo remarked in his spare time, taking the opportunity to praise, “Girl! Well done!”
“Xi…” Ye Lian pursed her lips, her large eyes staring at Ling Mo, blinking.
Shana spoke without turning her head, “While Nana is still out of it… I must say, this is just the harshest form of natural selection.” 𝓯𝓇𝘦𝘦𝑤ℯ𝓫𝑛𝓸𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓶
“Really?”
As she was speaking, the legless zombie had already seized the struggling arm of its own kind and forcibly tore it off.
“Yes. Humans might find this scene horrifying, but for us, sacrificing the weaker among us and the right amount of infighting can promote faster and higher quality evolution for the species,” said Shana, or rather Black Na, giggling.
“Top student…” Ling Mo was taken aback, but his expression quickly turned to one of disdain, “Are you sure they’re not just doing it for themselves?”
At that moment, two other zombies joined the fray, grabbing the legless zombie, one on each side. Without any discernible movement, blood and flesh began to fly through the air.
The pieces of innards tossed up into the air landed with a “plop” in the light of Ling Mo’s flashlight, turning the scene into what looked like an entrance to a mad slaughterhouse.
“Uh…” Shana hesitated for a moment, then dejectedly said, “Okay, you’re right, they’re just hungry… and they need the virus… but so what! It’s also instinct! And all that stuff I said was what Nana thought!”
“Hehehe, taking the opportunity to talk behind Nana’s back while she’s not reacting, huh?” Ling Mo said with a sly smile.
“So what if I am, she and I are one and the same! Besides, I am her, she is me, she’s just being badmouthed by herself…” Black Na began to ramble incoherently…
“Still got time to chat, huh…” From the shadows, a pair of red eyes was staring malevolently at the three figures.
“Swish!”
A cold light appeared midair, accompanied by the cold laugh of the zombie loli. Her slender arm pressed back, while the tip of her blade aimed at the figure…
“Hehe, although you seem to be fully focused, but…”
She slowly tilted the angle of her blade, shifting her gaze from Ling Mo to Shana.
“I did say I was smart!”
