Chapter 4 (2/2)

As the zombies collided against each other, the blade in Ling Mo’s hands had already slit one of their stomachs open horizontally, and stabbed into the other zombie’s head, twisting roughly without stopping.

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye and there were only dead bodies left there when Ling Mo woke up from his berzerk frenzy.

Ling Mo realized that he not only had displayed calmness, but also a high level of synchronization between his mental and physical reactions. Although this was influenced by him having strengthened himself mentally and physically, it was also due to the violent feeling he received from his connection with Ye Lian.

The most important thing was that when Ling Mo looked at the bodies laying at his feet and his knife dripping with fresh blood, his body couldn’t help but tremble. It wasn’t from horror, but from excitement…

By now, Ye Lian had finished devouring the gel from the zombies’ heads and her eyes became brighter and more alert. If they weren’t oddly red, she wouldn’t look any different from an ordinary survivor.

Ling Mo didn’t know why but when Ye Lian’s state changed, he also felt slight changes in his own body.

Although it was very slight, Ling Mo felt like he had grown stronger and regained some energy. More importantly, the spiritual connection between Ye Lian and him also had become tighter.

Was it because he was connected to Ye Lian that when she further mutated, he was also affected? Other than this, Ling Mo couldn’t come up with a better explanation.

Previously, Ling Mo hadn’t been sure if this kind of change was good or bad. But now, he was excited by it.

His rational thinking wasn’t impacted and he could strengthen himself together with Ye Lian! Ling Mo even looked forward to the next improvement. However, he knew that he couldn’t rush it or he would regret it if Ye Lian was harmed in the progress.

On the way back, Ling Mo found a clean dress and a pair of sandals in a shop, planning to change the Ye Liena’s bloodstained clothes once they were home.

The previous zombie puppet had looked gross but Ye Lian was most beloved clean. Even if she turned into a zombie, he wouldn’t let her wear dirty clothes.

But once they got home, looking at Ye Lian sitting quietly in front of him, Ling Mo didn’t know where to start!

Whether or not he controlled Ye Lian to change herself or he did it himself, he would see that body that appeared so many times in his fantasies…

Because Ling Mo didn’t think he had been good enough before, he had never confessed to Ye Lian despite being in love with her. He had never imagined their relationship would ever change. After all, he had been just a shut-in with average income while Ye Lian was the beauty of X City’s university and there were many excellent suitors with better backgrounds than his.

But for the sake of changing her clothes, he had to…

Even if Ye Lian wasn’t conscious, he still felt his mouth drying up.

Ling Mo looked at the bucket of water at his feet and then glanced at the dirty Ye Lian. After hesitating for a long time, he finally stretched his hands out slowly…

“Calm down, calm down…”

It was a lie if he said he didn’t feel any urges facing his love, but Ling Mo’s heart ached as he looked into Ye Lian’s emotionless eyes.

When would he be able to help her recover…
