Chapter 8 (2/2)
However, Ye Lian didn’t wake up that night keeping a constant frown and occasionally trembling. Ling Mo guarded beside her, feeling sympathetic yet eager. How much could she grow after digesting the gel-like part of a mutated zombie…
“Oh my, how did I fall asleep…”
Ling Mo finally fell asleep after guarding her during the night as his body was extremely exhausted. But because of the special skill he adapted to in the apocalypse, he woke up after a mere few minutes.
This kind of special sleeping method was probably learnt by every survivor in the apocalypse. They were extremely vigilant and even stayed on guard when they slept. A few minutes of deep sleep was enough to ease their tensed mental state.
Ling Mo as a zombie puppet controller, needed to maintain the spiritual connection between him and the puppets and he rarely entered the state of deep sleep. It was his first time…
After he opened his eyes nervously, he discovered a terrifying reality: Ye Lian was missing!
Did Ye Lian break free from his control in those few minutes?! But after he calmed down, Ling Mo realised that it wasn’t the truth. After the evolution, Ling Mo’s consciousness world became stronger and it was a big change from controlling zombie puppets deliberately to controlling them however he wanted to.
Although Ye Lian wasn’t in front of his eyes, he could clearly detect that her conscious world was still attached to his.
However, since he had been controlling her, she never acted herself other than in combat and going out, why did she suddenly do that today…
Ling Mo quickly changed the view to Ye Lian’s perspective…
Luckily, Ye Lian was still in the hotel, but she was acting somewhat strange. Usually, Ye Lian wouldn’t act with self-awareness other than attack and eat, but she was wandering around in the hotel.
She even stopped occasionally at some places, looking around quietly.
What was happening? Ling Mo quickly rushed out of the door and found Ye Lian in the corridor below.
Ling Mo almost cried out in surprise at first glance. Morning sunlight shone through the window, Ye Lian stood in the sun and her head was turned toward him, looking at him with the slightest confusion. The tiny amount of emotion made Ling Mo tremble in happiness.
“Ye Lian!” Ling Mo dashed in front of her and cried as he grabbed her shoulders with both hands.
He didn’t expect her intellect to return so soon…
No… After shaking her, Ling Mo suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water pouring down on his head. In Ye Lian’s eyes, he could only see occasional flashes of confusion and the usual coldness.
Perhaps the evolving virus temporarily loosened the shackles that locked her intellect, but she was far from recovery. Perhaps, the evolution of virus made Ye Lian who was blank right now, create a new consciousness…
“Ye Lian?” Ling Mo unwillingly asked a few times before accepting the fact that she wasn’t fully recovered.
At least, she showed some emotions and began to move around herself. Whether it was foreshadowing her recovery or a new evolution of the virus, Ling Mo’s expectations could still come true.
