It was almost midnight and the room was pitch black. Xia Na, who had been laying on the bed motionlessly, suddenly opened her eyes.
Ling Mo saw Xia Na’s eerily red eyes shine in the dark from a distance clearly. He could also feel a sense of desire through Ye Lian’s instincts; it was the reaction she would only have when she met her own kind, especially a mutated zombie.
Did Xia Na complete her mutation? Ling Mo carefully approached her as he wanted to observe her closer in detail.
But when he stopped in front of the bed, Xia Na leaped up abruptly and threw herself towards Ling Mo in a completely dark room.
If it was a normal person, they would probably only feel a gush of air in front of them and get ripped into pieces without realizing what had happened at all. In the darkness, the zombies’ vision was much better than a normal person’s and they took advantage of it.
Naturally, it was impossible for Ling Mo to see Xia Na’s movements clearly in this situation, but he could see it clearly through Ye Lian’s eyes. When he first approached the bed, he was already on guard.
When Xia Na moved, Ling Mo immediately jumped to the side. At the same time, Ye Lian who had been sitting on the bed quietly leaped up and grabbed Xia Na’s arm from behind. Although Xia Na reacted quickly and turned around to attack Ye Lian, Ling Mo threw himself over and pinned Xia Na onto the bed.
This was a zombie’s weakness: a lack of judgment. They attacked based on their instincts and they were easily distracted.
But Xia Na’s struggling made Ling Mo’s work hard. If he didn’t control Ye Lian and pin down Xia Na tightly, she would’ve escaped already.
But when Ling Mo turned her around and he was preparing to control her, she suddenly spoke in a low and confused voice, “What are you doing?”
“Huh?!’
If he didn’t witness Xia Na’s extremely powerful attacks just now, he would have thought that Xia Na was still human!
Ling Mo looked at Xia Na’s eyes in shock and realized that her blood-red eyes returned to normal!
Ling Mo’s eyes became adjusted to the darkness and although his vision was still blurry, he could somewhat see Xia Na’s eyes and expression since they were quite close. From her reaction, it looked like she was clueless about the current situation. Ling Mo saw the confusion in her eyes and he felt like he was struck by a lightning.
After Ye Lian evolved, he saw this kind of expression on Ye Lian’s face temporarily. It looked like she regained some consciousness and it looked like she was beginning to learn how to think instead of only knowing to slaughter! Although the expression disappeared soon, it was carved deeply into Ling Mo’s heart. To Ling Mo, it was hope and he looked forward to Ye Lian regaining her consciousness back!
But right now, he saw the same expression in Xia Na’s eyes and unlike Ye Lian, she could speak…
“Xia Na, Xia Na?” Ling Mo stared into space for a while before snapping back. He quickly grabbed Xia Na’s shoulders and shook her violently as he called her name in a low voice.
The noise from the room disturbed Wang Cheng in the living room. Even Liu Yuhao woke up from the noises.
“Brother Ling! Did something happen to Xia Na?” Liu Yuhao asked nervously with a panicked voice.
Ling Mo didn’t even turn around and ordered, “Don’t come in!”
