Chapter 669: A Bewildering Kiss
Chapter 669: A Bewildering Kiss
Bang! Bang!
The door continued to shake relentlessly, accompanied by the suppressed growls of female zombies.
Sigh…
Ling Mo sat back down, crossing his hands on his knees, his brow furrowed in deep thought.
Seeing his anxious expression, Xiao Bai suddenly nudged its head against Ling Mo’s body, rubbing up against him.
“Looks like you’ve learned all these tricks from Black Silk, haven’t you?” Ling Mo said, patting its head.
Although the difference wasn’t huge, Xiao Bai did seem much smarter after its evolution.
This gave Ling Mo a slight sense of comfort…
Meanwhile, in one of the rooms, Li Yalin was leaning against the wall, her amber eyes looking more intense than usual.
She stood there quietly, like a beautiful snake hidden in the shadows, her cold and enticing eyes fixed on the front through the dim light.
Her body was trembling slightly, as if something inside her was brewing and fermenting.
Suddenly, her eyes widened, and the amber color in her pupils began to spread, eventually covering the red entirely. These eyes reflected a cold light, resembling a true viper, carrying a deadly, dangerous allure.
Simultaneously, Li Yalin’s lips parted slightly, and her gaze became vacant.
In her mind, countless images flashed by.
There were memories from when she became a zombie, as well as from when she was still human.
These memories intertwined, like countless threads tangling into a chaotic mess in front of her.
She raised her hands to hold her head, frowning slightly, “So annoying, so many…”
“Senior Sister’s psychic fluctuation…”
Ling Mo’s eyes changed, but he restrained his urge to go check on her.
This was also part of the evolution process; it could neither be interfered with nor stopped…
The psychic fluctuations from Li Yalin’s side started to intensify, and Ling Mo felt an increasing pressure.
That feeling of something about to break free came again, making Ling Mo’s heart tighten.
“Stay focused, concentrate…”
He silently reminded himself, quickly trying to regain his composure.
But just as he managed to steady his mind, there was a reaction from Xia Na’s side.
Xia Na’s evolution was more complex; her situation was similar to Yu Shiran’s in that both needed to evolve “two people” simultaneously.
At this moment, Black Na had taken control of the main body, while the spiritual body Nana had separated.
One figure was black, the other red, one solid, the other ethereal. Both stood together, panting heavily.
The spiritual body was influenced by the evolution of the main body; they were actually connected.
However, the experiences of Nana, the spiritual body, and Black Na, the main body, were entirely separate.
Nana endured the mental changes, while Black Na faced the physical ones.
But this separation didn’t lessen the intensity; it actually heightened the stimulation for both of them.
“Hang in there, my other half,” Nana’s “body” fluctuated continuously as she shouted in her mind.
Controlled by Black Na, the main body’s hands were already clawing at the wall, her nails carving ten marks into it. Hearing Nana’s words, she momentarily regained clarity.
“Right, Nana has humanity and won’t be affected by the zombie instincts during evolution. With her helping herself, Xia Na should be fine…”
Ling Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Whether she could advance or not, at least some degree of evolution was feasible.
He then sensed Black Silk. This mysterious creature, no longer just a Mutation Dog, was evolving together with its symbiote, Yu Shiran.
Black Silk’s evolution had always been peculiar, and this time was no exception.
Apart from sensing that the Psychic Link between them still existed, there were no other noticeable changes.
However, Ling Mo could guess that there was likely a large cocoon in that room, just like before.
With past experiences, Ling Mo had become immune to Black Silk’s bizarre mutations.
He couldn’t help but wonder how peculiar it would be this time…
When Ling Mo finally turned his attention to Ye Lian, he was taken aback.
This…
He stood up abruptly, rushing to Ye Lian’s room in a few quick steps, and swung the door open.
A ray of light entered the room as Ling Mo appeared, casting a beam directly onto Ye Lian.
She was standing there, head tilted back, eyes closed, looking as if she were enjoying a gentle breeze.
Her hands were spread out, fingers slightly curled. Despite their stillness and delicate appearance, they emitted a sense of latent, violent power that sent a chill down one’s spine.
A strong virus aura emanated from Ye Lian, making her a striking blend of brutality and grace.
One could sense the terrifying presence of a zombie from her, yet her serene face and naturally graceful posture made her seem like an ordinary, beautiful girl.
This contradictory combination was not jarring on her but rather left Ling Mo momentarily speechless.
For some reason, Ye Lian’s expression made Ling Mo feel as though she was no longer just an ordinary zombie. She seemed like a being with real intelligence, capable of thought and human emotions…
“Could it be…”
Ling Mo’s eyes stayed fixed on Ye Lian, unblinking.
Unlike Ye Lian’s calm demeanor, his heart was pounding wildly.
Nervous, excited…
He held his breath, anxiously waiting for the outcome.
It seemed incredible, but… he hoped he was right!
After what felt like an eternity, Ye Lian slowly lowered her head and then gradually opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, Ling Mo felt as if a terrifying entity had locked its gaze on him.
An immense pressure surged into his heart, and he was horrified to find himself unable to move!
No, it wasn’t that he couldn’t move; the pressure was so overwhelming that he felt any slight movement would result in being torn apart instantly.
Though it lasted only a brief moment, when Ling Mo snapped back to reality, his forehead was already covered in a layer of cold sweat.
“Phew!”
Ling Mo let out a long breath.
The intensity of the threat he felt from Ye Lian was terrifying!
Moreover, although Ye Lian’s expression and appearance seemed unchanged, Ling Mo sensed something different in her usually vacant gaze.
Her crimson eyes now held something they previously lacked…
But what exactly was it?
Ling Mo didn’t dare approach rashly; he could sense that Ye Lian’s evolution was not yet complete!
At this moment, she was truly at a critical juncture!
Whether the virus could stimulate the mother hive to mutate and complete the advancement depended on this very step!
Although Ye Lian’s eyes were open, she remained standing there, motionless.
Her eyes, originally bearing the clear red and white hues typical of Leader-Level zombies, now seemed so red they appeared ready to bleed, and the color was deepening.
Under Ling Mo’s horrified gaze, Ye Lian’s eyes gradually turned a purplish-red, exuding a mysterious and terrifying aura.
Suddenly, her body shuddered violently, her lips parted slightly, and she let out a low growl, “Ah!”
The sound wasn’t loud, but it made Ling Mo’s body tense up instantly.
The roars of beasts vary, and among them, the most terrifying to other creatures are probably the lion’s roar or the tiger’s growl.
Ye Lian’s cry was similar to these…
The difference was that her voice carried a light, ethereal quality.
Only in the zombie species could such a chilling roar be emitted with such an eerie tone…
At the moment she cried out, Ling Mo couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.
Not only did the previous effects intensify several times over, but the chaotic feeling he had been suppressing also surged back up.
“Of all times…!”
Ling Mo’s vision blurred, and if it weren’t for his gritted determination, he might have collapsed.
Through the pain, he vaguely saw Ye Lian walking towards him.
As her beautiful face drew nearer, something cold and soft suddenly pressed against his lips.
“Hmm?”
Ling Mo’s eyes widened in shock. How could a zombie, who should have lost her sanity during evolution, willingly come over to kiss him?
