Chapter 651 – Still Developing!

The two men suddenly became excited. Baldy let out a sinister chuckle, turned his head, and shouted, “Xiao Li, come here.”

A figure standing not far from the gate hesitated for a moment before responding hesitantly, “Baldy Bro, what’s up?”

“Get over here quick, cut the chatter!” the Psychic tugging at his hair said impatiently.

Xiao Li seemed quite fearful of the pair, and although reluctant, he immediately walked over.

However, the closer he got to the female zombie, the more nervous he appeared.

“This guy seems to be from our branch…” Mu Chen remarked.

But Ling Mo remained silent, with a rather unpleasant expression on his face.

“Want to play with a zombie?” Baldy asked.

“Baldy… Baldy Bro, that’s really dangerous,” Xiao Li said with a shiver.

“Dangerous? At the headquarters…” Baldy’s tone suddenly filled with disdain.

“Cough cough…” The Psychic with a grip on his hair coughed, interrupting Baldy, then turned to Xiao Li and said, “You think this is dangerous? Here, take this.”

He handed a steel rebar to Xiao Li, “Aim it right into this monster’s mouth, and jab it in hard. Try to pierce through her stomach, see if she enjoys it, haha…”

Xiao Li had just taken the rebar when he heard this, nearly dropping the item in his hands in shock, “Ah… this…”

“Are you going to stab her or not? It’s a monster, not a person,” the Psychic urged, visibly annoyed.

“You’ve played plenty of women to death,” Baldy laughed on the side.

“Cut it out, you’ve killed your share too, don’t think I don’t know,” the Psychic retorted.

Xiao Li gripped the rebar, slowly turning his head to look at the female zombie.

Beneath the disheveled hair, her face was still somewhat delicate and at a glance, not much different from a human.

But those blood-red eyes were undeniably creepy, and her constant struggling made her seem very dangerous. She was like a wild beast chained up; even though it seemed unlikely she could break free, there was still an unnerving feeling that at any moment she could snap the chains and pounce to tear open one’s throat.

A cold sweat quickly broke out on Xiao Li’s forehead. No matter how one looked at it, the creature before him was a humanoid being. To carry out such an act of cruelty against what had once been a person was proving to be quite difficult for someone like him, who had been an ordinary office worker before the Disaster Outbreak.

“These two are scum!” Mu Chen muttered under his breath.

After his remark, Mu Chen turned to look at Ling Mo and found that he was still silent, which made Mu Chen look at him with a bit of surprise.

But the sight he was met with left him momentarily stunned.

Ling Mo’s previously furrowed brows had relaxed, yet his eyes shone with an unusual brilliance that seemed cold and chilling.

“Is he mad about the abuse of women or the cruelty towards the zombie?” Mu Chen couldn’t help but wonder.

After thinking it over, Mu Chen slightly shook his head, “Forget it, who knows what he’s thinking.”

On the street, Xiao Li was still shivering with nervousness.

The Psychic kept taunting him with a mix of scorn and mockery, “You wuss, what are you afraid of? It’s a zombie!”

“Are you up for it or not? You want to get into headquarters? I think you can forget even staying at the branch,” Baldy said, laughing coldly.

“I… Ah!”

Xiao Li couldn’t hold back any longer and let out a roar, lifting the steel rebar with force, but then he lost his nerve at the last moment, “Can’t I just kill her directly?”

“Look at you…” The Psychic was showing a disdainful smirk when unexpectedly, the female zombie, who was being pulled by her hair, suddenly jerked her head with force.

He clearly did not expect such a sudden move, and his grip loosened instantly.

Before he could react, Baldy also cried out as his foot, which had been stepping on the female zombie’s arm, involuntarily stepped back.

It was just a single step, but it was enough to free one of the female zombie’s hands…

In the blink of an eye, everyone only saw a blur, and the next second, the female zombie was already standing in front of the Psychic, her hand clasping his throat.

“Crack.”

The Psychic’s eyes were just beginning to widen when his head tilted at an unnatural angle onto his shoulder.

“Thump!”

As he fell, the female zombie’s figure blurred, already moving towards Baldy.

“No…” Baldy hadn’t even steadied himself, nowhere near ready to defend, only to feel a sudden chill on his neck followed by a warm gush.

The last thing he saw was his own blood spurting from his carotid artery, splattering onto the female zombie’s face. That face, punctured with rebar and covered in wounds, remained expressionless.

“Ah!”

Xiao Li, already scared witless, had thrown away the steel rebar and was scrambling backwards, but after just two steps, he fell to the ground.

Seeing the female zombie turn her head towards him, Xiao Li immediately cried out, “Help… Save me!”

The others had finally reacted and rushed towards the scene.

The female zombie looked at Xiao Li for a moment, but then suddenly turned and ran towards the other end of the street.

Xiao Li was still sitting on the ground, gasping for air, his face a picture of shock.

It seemed as though he couldn’t quite grasp what had just happened, and he just stared at the two corpses on the ground, his body shaking uncontrollably.

“This…”

Mu Chen was instantly horrified and turned to look at Ling Mo, but heard Ling Mo say, “Let’s go.”

“But this…” Mu Chen’s eyes widened, wanting to say more, but Ling Mo had already started moving.

Sticking close to the wall, he took the lead towards the exit.

Mu Chen opened his mouth to protest, but in the end, he had no choice but to follow resignedly.

There were just as many people at the back door as there were here, and with everything in disarray, it was the perfect chance to escape.

However, as they neared the main entrance, Ling Mo’s emotions were in turmoil.

Reason told him that this was all to create an opportunity to escape the building, but deep down…

The entrance was now deserted. The female zombie that was about to be killed had suddenly lashed out, killing two people in the blink of an eye with strength and speed greater than before.

This unbelievable turn of events had stunned the onlookers. If they let her escape, they would likely be held responsible.

However, as they gave chase, none of them noticed that in a nearby alley, a fluffy head suddenly flickered out of sight.

“Huff! Huff!”

Yu Shiran was lying on top of the Mutated panda, blowing on a piece of gel.

When she saw several zombies appear at the end of the street, she immediately patted the panda and said, “That’s enough, Xiao Bai, let’s go.”

As Xiao Bai turned around, it got stuck in a crack in the wall. After trying to squeeze through a couple of times, it silently returned to its original spot and then backed out of the alley.

During this process, Yu Shiran muttered discontentedly, “Suddenly calling me over for this kind of task, isn’t there already a zombie here?”

The sudden appearance of more zombies caught the Niepan members chasing the female zombie off guard.

Turning their heads, they realized they had unwittingly become surrounded by zombies.

“What kind of situation is this!” one of them cursed, clenching his weapon tightly.

Under these circumstances, they had no energy to focus on the main entrance, naturally missing the sight of a group of people filing out the front door.

However, just as Ling Mo was about to step out, Shana’s soft voice came from behind: “Ling Mo.”

“Hm?” Ling Mo immediately stopped and turned to look at her.

Shana bit her lip and said, “That scene, it was indeed uncomfortable for us to watch.”

Ling Mo moved the corner of his mouth but said nothing, simply reaching out to touch her head.

“Don’t pat the head, it’ll stunt growth,” Shana said in a low voice.

“What kind of misunderstanding have you got…” Ling Mo said, speechless.

Shana chuckled, “Anyway, it’s got nothing to do with the camp. Just follow your own judgment, don’t feel burdened.”

Ling Mo was momentarily stunned, and by the time he came to his senses, Shana had already pulled Xu Shuhan back to regroup with the female zombies.

They all followed behind, and Ling Mo’s gaze swept around, only to meet Ye Lian’s gaze.

The girl paused, then her lips curled up into a smile, and her big eyes looked charmingly beautiful.

Ling Mo couldn’t help but smile as well, thinking, “She’s right… But to use the term ‘camp’ like that, classic Shana still in her adolescent phase…”

Once out the front door, the group hugged the walls, using the flower beds as cover, and crouched down as they ran along.

As long as they didn’t encounter any other Niepan members on the way, leaving this street would mean they had temporarily escaped the Niepan Branch’s encirclement.

Soon, they reached the nearest corner.

Just as Ling Mo was about to turn the corner, he suddenly stopped, a flicker of unusual color crossing his eyes: “Wait.”

“What’s wrong?” Mu Chen asked, puzzled.

It was a critical moment, and stopping suddenly seemed odd…

Ling Mo didn’t speak, but a cold smirk soon appeared on his face: “I was wondering, these guys are really ruthless, one after another.”

Mu Chen was still confused, but Ling Mo had already started to walk out slowly.

“It’s really unexpected that we could meet alive, you know, I originally classified you as an experimental product.”

In the middle of the narrow road stood a figure, very casually, who seemed to anticipate Ling Mo’s appearance with an “I knew it” demeanor.

“No words? That’s a bit rude.”

The man, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked Ling Mo up and down with interest: “Oh right, I haven’t introduced myself yet. Song Jinsen, from Niepan.”

“Headquarters?” Ling Mo confirmed.

“Of course.” The man squinted his eyes, exhaling a puff of smoke.

Ling Mo glanced around the street and said, “Seeing how confident you are… call your people out, Parkinson.”

Song Jinsen’s hand trembled, and the cigarette almost dropped: “Talking provocations as soon as you open your mouth?”

And… that really hit a nerve!

“So it’s mental ability.” Song Jinsen put the cigarette back in his mouth to free his hands, giving a light clap.

“No need for words.” Ling Mo said expressionlessly.

Song Jinsen’s movements stiffened momentarily, but then he laughed: “Could it be that you used that mouth of yours to talk Ai Feng and Number 0 to death?”

Ling Mo replied: “How they died, you’ll find out soon enough.”
