Chapter 703 – Entering a State of Rampage
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Blood was spurting everywhere, severed limbs flying about, and a large number of zombies were continuously rushing forward.
At a glance, the area was packed with zombies-it was enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.
Senior Zombies were terrifying, but a horde of common zombies could be just as dreadful once they reached a certain number.
Ling Mo was being stared at by countless blood-red eyes, surrounded on all sides by swinging claws. The sheer pressure of this situation alone could drive anyone to the brink of collapse.
As Ye Lian jumped to avoid a zombie, Ling Mo caught a glimpse of the main entrance.
A path wide enough for easy passage had been torn open there, and many zombies were squeezing in from the outside.
The zombies’ roars echoed clearly within the Mall, but sounded faint to Ling Mo’s main body.
Ling Mo vaguely felt the scent’s influence; although he no longer had hallucinations, his sensory acuity was significantly dulled.
After all, it was an almost sealed-off passage, with the scent being stronger near the Restroom, but other areas were also affected to some extent.
To be precise, from the moment Ling Mo entered the passage, he was already within the scent’s range.
In his heightened state of focus, he didn’t notice the subtle changes in himself and unknowingly wandered into the key area, where hallucinations began.
“What kind of zombie evolves into a Hallucinogen Production Machine…” Ling Mo thought, “This evolution is quite creative, just like the watery corpses…”
As for the basement, it was obvious that all the zombies there had also rushed out.
The zombies’ roars had an effect of attracting their kind, with the waves of shouts probably drawing all the zombies on the street into the Mall.
Not all zombies had their sights set on Ye Lian and the others; blood was spurting from other areas as well, indicating battles had broken out there too.
Yet, the zombies near Ye Lian and them charged fearlessly one after another. Under normal circumstances, this would be unimaginable…
Xu Shuhan, being a half-formed zombie, might provoke attacks from other zombies, but Ye Lian, as a dominant level zombie, should have caused common zombies to keep their distance once she fully released her aura!
However, the zombies here kept coming in waves, refusing to retreat even if they had to trample over bodies to advance.
The terrain was quite unfavorable for Ye Lian and the others. To provide mutual support, they deliberately positioned themselves in a corner, with their backs against the wall.
Xia Na and Li Yalin were both fiercely battling, but Xu Shuhan remained motionless.
Ling Mo couldn’t see Ye Lian since she didn’t turn around, but he could hear her rapid breathing.
Such a bloody battle right before her eyes naturally stirred the virus within her…
“She’s not in immediate danger, but at this rate, she might be provoked into a full mutation…” Ling Mo thought with a frown.
“Huh… What are you doing here? Wait a minute, I…” Mu Chen staggered to his feet, squinting and looking confused.
But Ling Mo had no time to answer his questions. He waved his hand and said, “We’re surrounded by zombies.”
“Huh? What do you mean…” As Mu Chen questioned, a figure quietly opened the Iron Door at the other end of the Corridor.
The location was quite concealed, and being a Leader-Level Zombie, the loli zombie could easily move in and out without attracting other zombies’ attention…
Since they had external threats, Ling Mo planned to have Yu Shiran and Xiao Bai stay hidden nearby to secure the perimeter.
They could also use Yu Shiran’s eyes to see what was happening outside.
However, Ling Mo noticed that both Yu Shiran and Ye Lian seemed somewhat restless and agitated…
And his own sense of unease hadn’t dissipated either…
Senior Zombies could be affected by this; common zombies, unable to suppress their instincts, would naturally fall into a state of rampage.
But the cause of this situation wasn’t the Hallucinogenic Virus he found in the Restroom…
“What’s going on with Cuihu City…” Ling Mo had a vague idea of why Cuihu City was rated as a high-risk level area. But just zombies going on a rampage wouldn’t be enough to impact the Air Force Corps. There had to be other issues at play.
“Ling Mo, don’t you feel incredibly hot?…” Mu Chen suddenly tugged at his collar, sounding dazed.
He seemed somewhat disoriented, and the fact that they were surrounded by zombies didn’t seem to provoke much of a reaction from him.
“Hot? What are you talking about…” Ling Mo responded absentmindedly without turning his head.
He was not only deep in thought but also had to switch his vision between Ye Lian and Black Silk frequently.
Especially regarding Black Silk-its control over Yu Shiran’s body was about to end, which meant Ling Mo soon wouldn’t be able to switch his vision to the zombie loli.
Hence, Mu Chen’s odd behavior didn’t catch Ling Mo’s attention.
“It’s just really…”
Mu Chen shook his head vigorously and reached up to touch the back of his neck.
Was it dizziness?
But that disturbing restlessness seemed to become more and more apparent.
Mu Chen stared at the black crack, suddenly feeling a pang of unease.
“Let me go in and check…” Mu Chen said as he reached out to pat Ling Mo’s shoulder.
Ling Mo slightly turned his head, saying, “We can’t go in now. Let me assess the situation first…”
However, Ling Mo didn’t realize that Mu Chen wasn’t paying attention to his words at all.
Mu Chen was looking at him with a shocked expression. Just a moment ago, when Ling Mo turned his head, he had caught a glimpse of blood-red eyes, filled with ferocity and cruelty…
“No, is this a hallucination?”
Mu Chen shook his head hard, but the intense restlessness felt like it was destroying his rationality.
He fixed his gaze on Ling Mo’s neck, with his peripheral vision glancing towards the ground.
A knife…
When Ling Mo had his Little Zombie Puppet drag him back, he also brought the knife along, which now lay on the stairs below.
Mu Chen glanced at Ling Mo once more, then slowly and cautiously backed downward.
“Thump!”
The sound of his heartbeat was like drumbeats, resounding directly in Mu Chen’s head…
He grabbed the knife, and his gaze remained locked on the back of Ling Mo’s neck.
At this moment, Ling Mo’s attention was entirely focused inside the Mall. Ye Lian and the others could still hold their ground, but they needed to be removed from this dire situation as soon as possible…
Swish!
Mu Chen stood silently behind Ling Mo, raising the knife without making a sound.
His expression looked peculiar-both blank and somewhat fanatical.
With a flash of cold light, he swung the knife down with a blank face…
“Click, click, click…”
The knife halted a short distance away from Ling Mo, its blade trembling violently, evidence of Mu Chen’s struggle to bring it down.
But… he just couldn’t manage to strike.
A small hand grasped Mu Chen’s arm from the side. Before he could react, a swift blow to the back of his knee made him collapse to the ground.
“Bang!”
The world went dark for Mu Chen, and he fell unconscious once again.
Ling Mo turned his head to look at the Little Zombie Puppet who had intervened, then shook his head at the fallen Mu Chen. “A superhuman without mental abilities falls quickly…”
He hadn’t been completely off guard. Even Ling Mo was experiencing a mysterious influence, so how could he ignore Mu Chen behind him?
When Mu Chen’s psychic activity started showing abnormalities, Ling Mo had already been cautious.
However, he was curious to see what kind of bizarre actions this influence would provoke, so he pretended to be oblivious. In reality, the Little Zombie Puppet had been on standby around the corner.
“In the end, it’s ultimately meant to drive people to turn on each other…” Ling Mo pondered thoughtfully.
It seemed the influence was just beginning to spread. Mu Chen, already disoriented and not possessing any mental abilities, was the first to succumb.
The reason this place could make the Air Force Corps so wary was likely due to this peculiar influence.
To confirm, they would just need to look around for any wreckage of downed planes…
Having found Xiao Bai, Black Silk stealthily moved to the edge of the street, peering out through the underbrush.
As Ling Mo had suspected, the street was practically devoid of zombies.
The nearby zombies had all been attracted to the Mall…
The surroundings of the Mall were packed with zombies, some even climbing on top of each other, attempting to squeeze through any available gaps.
Black Silk glanced left and right, then swiftly darted out, deftly weaving through the cover of abandoned vehicles.
