Chapter 718 – Cognitive Update: Fishing for Jellyfish
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“What! Just the two of us?” Mu Chen felt a wave of shock. Isn’t this courting death!
If it was just Ling Mo taking the risk, that would be one thing, but he had to go along too!
There’s no way…
“I object!” Mu Chen shouted.
“Objection overruled,” Ling Mo gave him a glance.
“Damn!” Mu Chen was frustrated, “At least give a reason? It’s one thing for Xu Shuhan not to go… but what about them?”
Hearing her name, Xu Shuhan’s expression changed slightly.
In her condition, sneaking into the headquarters was utterly unsuitable, akin to jumping into a pit of fire.
If members of the Niepan headquarters discovered she had been infected and mutated but retained her human consciousness, their first reaction wouldn’t be to kill her; it would be to capture and study her.
Besides this, Xu Shuhan couldn’t think of any other possibility.
Recruit her? Let her join the headquarters?
Is that even possible?
No one in their right mind would want to be around a half-human, half-zombie monster. In their eyes, she was no longer one of them…
Even someone like Ling Mo-if he got exposed… Xu Shuhan couldn’t help but glance at Ling Mo.
She still didn’t understand the secrets surrounding Ling Mo. As her evolution progressed, she had gradually come to comprehend the strength of Ye Lian and the other two girls.
They were definitely very formidable Senior Zombies. To zombies of such caliber, humans were no different from ants.
It wasn’t about having a superior view; it was a matter of species characteristics.
Being able to keep these Senior Zombies by his side, maintaining an extremely close relationship, even to the point where these three zombies could cleverly pose as humans… What kind of superhuman ability was this?
She only knew Ling Mo was a mental ability superhuman. However, his usual attack method seemed to be using psychic power as if it were a physical attack. Beyond that, she couldn’t see anything else.
Despite knowing the identities of Ye Lian and the other girls, she couldn’t for the life of her figure out how they ended up together with Ling Mo…
It’s also no wonder Xu Shuhan couldn’t think of control as a possibility. Ye Lian and the others were Senior Zombies…
Even during their usual interactions, Ling Mo never showed any signs of control.
These three female zombies often shouted about wanting to take a bite out of him. Sometimes they would even pounce on him once or twice when they were in the mood. How could this look like they were being controlled…
However, the more Xu Shuhan couldn’t understand Ling Mo’s superpower, the more she felt that if Ling Mo were discovered by the Niepan headquarters, not only would Ye Lian and the others suffer, but he would also likely be interrogated in countless ways…
Leaving aside the ability to control zombies, the fact that Ling Mo could keep Xu Shuhan in her current state for a short period would definitely attract the attention of the Niepan headquarters.
And Ling Mo didn’t seem like the kind of person who would obediently reveal all his secrets…
“Yes, it’s just you and Mu Chen going in; it’s really too dangerous,” Xu Shuhan said sincerely.
Ling Mo felt a little helpless. He had indeed made this decision after careful consideration.
If the Niepan headquarters were within a building, it would be much easier for Ling Mo.
But in such a complex environment, where there were loose exteriors and tight interiors, if anything went wrong, just escaping would be daunting enough.
Without much knowledge of machine gun firing angles, Ling Mo could tell just by looking at the direction the barrels were aimed that the entire area within the wire fence could likely be covered.
In such a scenario, escaping seemed nearly impossible.
But if they had external support, it would be different.
Plus, having someone left outside would make Ling Mo’s exploratory actions much more convenient.
After all, the headquarters and the Beast Cage were not in the same area, and it would be challenging for him and Mu Chen alone to gather all the information without drawing attention.
But the main reason was that Ling Mo had discovered Canine Zombies today.
These zombies with enhanced senses could likely detect the virus aura on Ye Lian and the others. Even if they could avoid them, who knows what other monsters Niepan headquarters had created…
So, under no circumstances could he let Ye Lian and the others take risks lightly.
“Mu Chen and I can move inconspicuously and not attract much attention. If anything happens, we’re better positioned to provide internal and external support,” Ling Mo said simply after some thought.
“But we’re not strong enough!” Mu Chen said.
He had been thoroughly impressed by Ye Lian and the others’ combat abilities. They were like humanoid monsters!
Especially when facing zombies, even Ling Mo couldn’t compare to the three girls.
But Mu Chen had no idea that the existence of these three girls was also a part of Ling Mo’s strength…
“Have we finished discussing? Then it’s settled…” Ling Mo decisively ignored Mu Chen and said.
“Hey, at least bring Xia Na… No, I mean Ye Lian! Aren’t you afraid of the long night?” Mu Chen angrily stared at Ling Mo’s back as he retreated into another room.
Ye Lian and the three girls exchanged glances but remained silent.
Especially Xia Na-she knew best why Ling Mo was taking this risk. They were different from Mu Chen in that regard.
Since Ling Mo had arranged everything, the best way to support him was to follow his plan meticulously…
“Phew… trying to brush him off is really troublesome.”
Ling Mo sat on the freshly tidied sofa and reclined with a tired sigh.
Switching perspectives repeatedly had drained a lot of Ling Mo’s psychic power.
Actually, it’s not just the switching of perspectives that was exhausting but immersing himself in Xiao Bai’s psychic realm-seeing what it saw, hearing what it heard, which was mentally taxing.
Moreover, there was always a sense of disorientation when withdrawing from the perspective, making it easy to feel dizzy.
“Two people going in does feel like sheep walking into a tiger’s den, but even if I am a sheep, I’m not just waiting to be eaten. They’ve bred so many Monsters, which for me, is an opportunity…”
From this reconnaissance mission, Ling Mo had gathered enough intelligence to make a decision, but his trump card wasn’t just limited to this.
“It’s been several days; the jellyfish’s evolution should be complete, right?”
Ling Mo grabbed his backpack and pulled out a cloth bag from inside.
Ever since the jellyfish had absorbed large amounts of blood and virus secretion from the “Wig,” it had been in a state of “sleep.”
This mutation creature not only had a small size but also a highly deceptive appearance.
In its immobile state, who would think it was a living thing…
Even under close inspection, it was hard to tell.
However, Ling Mo wasn’t sure if it remained that way post-evolution…
Maybe it would once again shatter his expectations…
Fortunately, Ling Mo had already developed some resistance to all sorts of bizarre mutation creatures, so he didn’t hesitate much before opening the cloth bag.
The moment he peeked inside, he was immediately taken aback.
“Huh? Where’s the Jellyfish?”
Ling Mo quickly reached in to grab it, but the more he fished around, the more puzzled his expression became.
Could it have run away?
That seemed impossible… After all, he had been personally carrying the bag; there was no way it could have slipped away unnoticed…
Moreover, it’s just a newly evolved creature; does it even know how to escape…
“Huh?”
Just then, Ling Mo’s fingers brushed against something springy.
But when he tried to grab it, the thing vanished again.
However, Ling Mo realized the Jellyfish was still inside; it had just become… really fast!
This came as a big surprise but also filled him with excitement!
When it was just scuttling around using its tentacles, any zombie could easily stomp on it.
And even the “Wig,” which it had consumed, moved slowly most of the time, only exhibiting strong bursts of speed occasionally.
In fact, if it weren’t for that, the “Wig” wouldn’t have needed to painstakingly cultivate zombies, and it wouldn’t have been defeated by someone like Ling Mo who could counter it.
Yet, to his surprise, the Jellyfish had evolved rapid movement and dodging capabilities…
Ling Mo tried several times to catch the Jellyfish but failed each attempt. Just as he was about to turn the cloth bag over, he thought of a clever idea.
A psychic tentacle quietly emerged and started waving like bait above the cloth bag.
“I’ve fished before, but fishing for a Jellyfish is a first…”
“Whoosh!”
A blood-red shadow shot out instantly, and Ling Mo grabbed it in one swift motion.
The moment it touched the psychic tentacle, Ling Mo sensed it immediately.
Although he wasn’t an Enhancement ability user, his strong psychic reaction made it easy for him to capture it.
But as soon as he looked at the Jellyfish in his hand, Ling Mo was stunned.
The tiny red Jellyfish was wriggling vigorously, trying to free itself from his grasp. But that wasn’t the main issue; the main issue was…
“How did you get so small!”
