“No, it’s not quite right, it just looks simr… judging by where it’sing out, this might be the reason these zombies are able to make such distinctive sounds… There are quite significant differences between these zombie infants and variation zombies. Their mutations not only modify their bodies but also manifest in this unique new organ. Though it’s called an organ, it actually seems more like a symbiotic creature born independently within it. This Creature’s appearance is due to the virus, which is somewhat simr to the virus gel found in the Hindbrain… It might even be the second lesion for this new generation of zombies.”
Thinking about how the master ball might be of the same nature as the virus gel, Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit odd. However, that little fellow had absorbed too much random blood, causing its current form to differ significantly from these original “lesions.” Calling it a “lesion” no longer seems quite fitting…
Then, Ling Mo took a stic bottle out of his backpack and carefully contained the small creature inside it.
Xu Shuhan curiously watched Ling Mo’s actions for a moment but eventually averted her gaze with a hint of fear. Meanwhile, Ye Lian stood calmly next to him, asionally showing a thoughtful expression.
Once the “lesion” was removed, the zombie infantpletely died. Ling Mo had initially wanted to check whether this alpha zombie also had the virus gel but looking at its ferocious bighead, he decided to quietly abandon that idea…
As soon as the alpha zombie died, the zombie infants were thrown into chaos.
Their individual attack power was inferior to the alpha zombie, and the Interference in their calls wasn’t as strong. Without the ability to coordinate, they were quickly overpowered by thebined assault of Xia Na and Li Yalin.
Jason didn’t really understand what had happened, but he could see that the battle situation was improving. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and his shooting uracy also improved significantly. In his heart, he admired Ling Mo and his group enormously, thinking they truly deserved their reputation as experts who could take on the Air Force Corps. Even in the face of these zombies that greatly weakened one’sbat abilities, they remained undefeated. His reverence also gave him much more confidence in the victory of the Second Camp.
With Ye Lian joining the fight, the zombie infants finally fell into a one-sided defeat. Just a few minutester, the area fellpletely silent, leaving only corpses scattered around.Ling Mo watched with anticipation, but he didn’t see another “lesion” appear. He sighed with disappointment and muttered to himself, “It seems the second lesion really isn’t something that can just fully form so easily…”
Still, encountering one was quite an unexpected gain, and in terms of rarity, it might be even more rare than a dominant level viral hive…
“Ling-Ge, we need to hurry. The scent of blood here is too strong. We won’t be able to retrace this pathter,” Jason said, his excitement quickly fading into concern.
Ling Mo knew Jason was worried about mutation beasts, and the simple image ck Silk hadmunicated to his mind shed back again. But as soon as he established psychicmunication, ck Silk responded with, “Busy here,” and then fell silent.
He was speechless, “What the heck…”
About ten minutester, they had gathered enough fuel, and by that time, forty minutes had passed since they set out. Ling Mo felt they had taken too long, but Jason was excited and said this was the fastest time he’d ever experienced. Even though they encountered zombie infants, their pace was still about three times faster than usual, possibly even quicker… The reason for such a drastic difference was all thanks to having experts with them!
“Once we get back, I’ll try to bring people here to collect fuel every day!” Jason said, his eyes bright with anticipation.
“Enough already, when did I be your freebor?” Ling Mo retorted, not amused.
“You own half of the camp…”
“My contributions are already unshakable.”
“…To say it so bluntly… I’ll bring updates too…”
“There are Communicators.”
“They can be monitored. This time they weren’t prepared, and we used a dedicated line. Next time might not be the same; otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked me to deliver the message personally.” Jason sighed deeply after saying this.
Ling Mo also pondered, the more he heard about the situation, the worse it sounded…
While detouring away from the Oil Depot, Ling Mo couldn’t help but nce back at the direction where the zombie infant horde had died. From there, he could asionally hear the howls of zombies, which sounded not only bloodthirsty and in Frenzy, but also tinged with anger. However, what really caught Ling Mo’s attention were the asional screams and a somewhat eerie sound.
Jason obviously heard it too, and his face changed dramatically as he said, “Mutation beasts have already been drawn in… We need to move quickly; these Monsters are much more troublesome than zombies. Luckily, they leave right after feeding, and since you guys live so far away, there’s no need to worry too much.”
Ling Mo calmly replied with an “Mm,” but a hint of interest flickered in his eyes.
Mutation beasts!
Xiao Bai and Yalin could really use one of those…
However, now that he knew their patterns, there was no immediate rush.
For caution’s sake, Ling Mo asked more about the types of mutation beasts, but the answers he received were not particrly helpful.
“Well… We usually carefully avoid mutation beasts. Anyone who truly encounters one doesn’t live to tell about it. But rest assured, Ling-Ge, this isn’t their nesting ground. As long as we’re careful, there shouldn’t be any issues…” ??
Jason kept emphasizing this, clearly worried about displeasing Ling Mo, given how dire the conditions were here…
But what he didn’t know was that ever since acquiring that “lesion,” Ling Mo was more than satisfied with the ce…
“To fight against the Falcon and also deal with Niepan, it’s too troublesome… In theing days, it would be wise to boost our strength a bit more for extra security…” Ling Mo thought to himself.
Before the Helicopter took off, Jason went over some details again.
“Before I left, Captain Tom said he’d send me back to pick you up in three days… five days at most. Please try to remain calm during this time.”
Seeing Ling Mo nod, Jason’s face once again showed that simple and honest smile. He straightened his posture and solemnly saluted Ling Mo. “I’m not a real soldier, and my name wasn’t always Jason. But since joining Falcon and following Captain Tom, I feel like I’ve found my purpose. Honestly, I don’t have much attachment to Falcon; the only person I truly respect is the captain. But the captain admires you, and after arriving at the Second Camp, he’s often shared stories about you with us. So, I admire you too. In this world, to live for more than just survival-that’s incredibly challenging.”
“Uh…” Ling Mo felt a bit ufortable with Jason suddenly getting so sentimental.
However, looking at his expression, it seemed genuine. And as soon as he finished speaking, Jason turned around and boarded the Helicopter: “Goodbye!”
With a roar, the Helicopter quickly ascended into the sky. From the direction of the Oil Depot, a sharp cry suddenly came…
Old Lan nced over curiously and asked, “What’s over there?”
“Better not be curious,” Ling Mo replied offhandedly, then turned his gaze to Lan Lan and Wang Lin, with a quirky expression on his face.
Earlier, these two girls were just a bit dusty from travel, but now they looked like two little kittens, ying with “trophies” they found in the Dormitory, eagerly showing them to Ye Lian and the others. Only these girl Zombies could show interest in such things; Mu Chen and the sunsses man were just sitting against the wall, trying to catch their breath…
“You,e over here,” Ling Mo called out to the sunsses man.
He immediately showed a hint of nervousness but had no choice but to get up under Ling Mo’s gaze.
“Instructor, keep watch,” Ling Mo said.
Mu Chen immediately jumped up, “I seem to have a lot of instructor dutiestely!”
“Hey! Were you really just pretending not to hear?!”
