Chapter 6: Mutated Zombies (1/2)
After the shock, Ling Mo is overjoyed!
Since her eyes were able to restore to normal appearance, this means that his guess might likely be a reality! With the evolution of the virus, maybe Ye Lian will gradually restore sanity…
However, after her eyes turned normal, Ye Lian’s virus evolutionary speed has evidently decreased. After three full days, hunting hundreds of zombies only made Ye Lian’s power slightly stronger, the mental change mutation expected by Ling Mo did not appear at all.
For the good news, Ling Mo experienced some changes himself. As his spiritual power become increasingly stronger, under the premise of semi-controlling Ye Lian, then controlling other zombies at the same time, he actually succeeded after several failures. And the more he practices, the more skilled Ling Mo become at controlling zombie puppets.
Not only that, his own fighting ability was also growing, even though he’s not as nimble as Ye Lian, but under his rationality, he was able to make much more flexible movements than Ye Lian. Now he has confidence protect himself in the case when Ye Lian is out of control.
But at this time, Ling Mo realized something dumbfounded. His food reserves ran out….
Prior by using zombie puppet entirely to battle and collect food necessities, Ling Mo did not have a high energy consumption himself. But as he himself involved in battles, energy consumption increased significantly which caused him to eat more.
This is originally the suburb, during the disaster outbreak; the majority of the food storage had already been looted, and the remaining quantity is extremely limited, after been repeatedly searched by survivors, there are now very little food left.
After continuously searching in the little supermarket for two hours, Ling Mo finally decided to take Ye Lian to the city center.
Comparing to this area mixed with suburb and city, city center has far more supplies. But because of the large population, there should also be an appalling number of zombies….
If Ye Lian was not here, Ling Mo had another choice, and that is to evacuate to the countryside or mountain areas. If that’s the case, Ye Lian might starve to death.
A city full of zombies would be the best place for Ye Lian and Ling Mo to evolve.
However, to reach the city center, they still have to make full preparation. Suitable means of transportation, easy to carry food supplies and weapons….
There are already food and means of transportation; Ling Mo already prepared a bicycle. But weapon arrangement is giving Ling Mo some headache.
Common household knives were always soon notched or blunt, very difficult to use, a suitable knife is clearly necessary.
“Right, didn’t Wang Rin’s household make knives…
Wang Rin is the girl who lived on the same building as Ling Mo, pretty face, and the few occasional times when he saw her he always wanted to take a few more look at her. But after the disaster outbreak, he never saw that little girl again. Now thinking back, he felt bad. A weak girl like her, even if she did not mutate, and somehow survived, she is probably having a tough life…..
Early in the morning, Ling Mo sorted out the luggage, brought Ye Lian to walk toward Wang Rin’s homemade hand tool shop.
Even though Ling Mo deliberately picked a safer road, along the way they still killed dozens zombies and finally arrived at the completely deserted shop.
Blood spattered on the glass windows, broken glass door, and pitch-black interior of the store made it all look terrifying. However at the end of the world, this is the most common sight.
In this case, naturally the plan is to make Ye Lian go in first, even though she will attack zombies, but zombies will not attack her first.
But the store did not have any zombies; Ye Lian and Ling Mo did not meet any trouble and walked in.
The store has a lot of knives, but most are used as collection with no sharped edges.However, Ling Mo had been entrusted by a friend and purchased once at this shop, and knew that the store have open edged knives (TL: it means sharpened to kill), just did not put it on the shelf.
“I remembered that the workshop should be in the back…..”
Ling Mo went around and arrived at a security door behind the counter, after twisting the doorknob, he noticed something strange.
Usually this kind of door would be pulled open, but when Ling Mo twisted the knob, he realized the door is locked.
Did the store staff at that time escaped into the workshop room? If so, then there might be people alive! Maybe Wang Rin is still alive in there!
Thinking about it, Ling Mo suddenly become excited, he quickly knocked on the door, and shouted in a low voice: “ Is anyone in there?”
“Bang!”
