Chapter 664 – How to Guide Zombies to Hunt

“Alright, let’s find a place to stay first.”

 

Ling Mo looked around for a moment, then suddenly suggested.

 

Ye Lian and the others had no objections, but Mu Chen found it a bit baffling.

 

“It’s still early…” he tried to protest.

 

“It’s settled,” Ling Mo said, nodding as if he hadn’t heard Mu Chen at all.

 

“Let’s keep going…”

 

“There’s a hotel right up ahead!” Xia Na, with her keen eyes, pointed to a building in the distance.

 

From afar, the building indeed had a small sign on top, but with Ling Mo’s current eyesight, he could only make out the general shape. As for Mu Chen, he squinted hard but could barely see the outline of the sign.

 

“Alright, let’s go there,” Ling Mo quickly decided.

 

Mu Chen nearly bit his tongue. “You can’t even see it clearly! And you’re just going?”

 

On the way, Ling Mo explained why he made this decision—

 

They needed to let Xu Shuhan take a break.

 

They had been rushing nonstop, and all they encountered on the road were bloody scenes of fighting zombies. By the time they reached the Niepan headquarters, Xu Shuhan might not be able to hold on.

 

“Is that so?!”

 

Mu Chen suddenly felt ashamed. How could he not have thought of that…

 

“To avoid wasting time, while she rests, I’ll take the girls to clear the road,” Ling Mo continued.

 

“Good!” Before Ling Mo finished, Mu Chen was already nodding vigorously.

 

That made sense! It was rare for Ling Mo to think so thoroughly…

 

“Then you’ll be in charge of guarding,” Ling Mo added.

 

“Okay!… Wait, what?!” Mu Chen had just agreed when he realized something was off.

 

Why was such a dangerous task assigned to him?!

 

And he agreed without thinking!

 

“Wait, wait, wait…” Mu Chen looked like he wanted to bang his head against a wall.

 

“Keep your promises,” Ling Mo said, patting Mu Chen on the shoulder.

 

With their speed and most of the zombies in the area already herded into shops by Ling Mo, it only took them four or five minutes to reach the hotel.

 

Ling Mo pushed Mu Chen inside and then pulled Xu Shuhan over. “Good luck…”

 

“Good luck to me…” Mu Chen was on the verge of tears.

 

“She’s pretty calm now,” Ling Mo said, glancing at Xu Shuhan. “Besides, I’ll provide protection.”

 

Indeed, she seemed quite peaceful at the moment. Aside from glaring with those eyes, she appeared to have regained some sanity. But those eyes were a clear signal, warning them to stay away.

 

Looking around, the hotel was in a secluded area and didn’t seem to have many zombies.

 

But when Mu Chen turned back, Xu Shuhan was the only one left in front of him.

 

“Um…”

 

Mu Chen nervously swallowed and said in a low, appeasing tone, “Can we negotiate?”

 

“Ahhh…” Xu Shuhan suddenly let out a roar.

 

Mu Chen was so startled that he flinched. After the initial shock, he noticed that Xu Shuhan’s hands were tied behind her back.

 

“Thank goodness…” Mu Chen sighed in relief.

 

But a few seconds later, he was shouting again, “Is this your idea of a safety measure?!”

 

In a small alley outside the hotel, Li Yalin withdrew her gaze from the hotel and asked, “Ling Mo, what about that human…”

 

Xia Na interjected, “Ling-Ge, you’re not just clearing the road, are you?”

 

“Exactly,” Ling Mo admitted with a nod.

 

“Are we out of Gel?” Li Yalin asked, licking her lips in anticipation.

 

Ling Mo shook his head. “If it’s just the usual consumption, I still have some. But… I hope to help you all advance further.”

 

Regularly consuming Gel was more like refueling their bodies, supporting their daily needs.

 

Although a small amount of the Virus could be absorbed and, over time, lead to evolution, this process was too slow for Ling Mo.

 

The three of them were now Leader-Level and had been at this level for a long time. Their foundations were solid.

 

Even if they couldn’t directly break through the Leader-Level, it would be best to further enhance their strength.

 

This way, when facing the Niepan headquarters, Ling Mo would feel more confident.

 

Ling Mo didn’t say it out loud, but he was indeed wary of the Niepan headquarters.

 

The other party was a colossal force, while he was just an ordinary survivor in comparison.

 

The disparity in strength between them was like one wielding a sword and the other holding a toothpick.

 

However, even a toothpick could cause unexpected damage if it struck the right spot…

 

“Of course, before that, I need to forge this toothpick into the highest quality one,” Ling Mo thought to himself.

 

But expecting all three female Zombies to level up simultaneously was definitely unrealistic.

 

As long as their overall strength could step up a notch, they would at least have stronger self-defense capabilities…

 

“That sounds great!”

 

Xia Na immediately nodded, rubbing her hands together in anticipation.

 

Li Yalin and Ye Lian exchanged glances, seeming not to fully understand.

 

Seeing one excited and the other two looking puzzled, Ling Mo couldn’t help but smile.

 

“Sausage Humans!”

 

As they turned a corner, a white shadow suddenly leaped out, accompanied by a little girl’s shout.

 

The massive white shadow skidded to a stop less than two meters from Ling Mo, halting without any hesitation.

 

“MeGu!”

 

The mutated panda shook its head, trying to rub its face against Ling Mo.

 

“You’ve ruined the image of a national treasure,” Ling Mo said with a smile, patting its head.

 

“MeGu!” Xiao Bai proudly continued to shake its head. It suddenly sat down, then tilted its head to the side.

 

“What is it doing?” Ling Mo was stunned, then worried about Xiao Bai’s actions.

 

What was it trying to do?

 

“I told you, you can’t roll!”

 

Yu Shiran shouted, jumping off Xiao Bai’s back.

 

Following behind them, Yu Shiran looked clearly annoyed.

 

Standing in front of Ling Mo with red eyes, she seemed ready to complain extensively.

 

But now, she hesitated for a long time, biting her lip, and eventually just asked, “What are you doing?”

 

This Zombie Loli didn’t know how to start the conversation…

 

Ling Mo explained his idea once more and then clapped his hands, saying, “Now that everyone is here, we can start. There’s only one rule: no bloodbaths.”

 

As he finished speaking, even he found it a bit odd.

 

A human giving instructions to a group of Zombies and Mutation Beasts on how to hunt…

 

“Oh well, I should be used to this by now,” Ling Mo quickly shook his head and waved his hand, “Let’s begin!”

 

Compared to Ling Mo, these Zombies and Mutation Beasts had stronger hunting instincts and stealth abilities.

 

They could find those Zombies that had already formed Virus Gel faster than Ling Mo, silently approach them, and in a flash, seize the moment of weakness to pounce and grip their throats.

 

With just a squeeze of their fingers, those terrifying Zombies that would make ordinary people shiver would become helpless lambs in these seemingly delicate hands.

 

Then, they just needed to drag these Zombies to a nearby shop and, as quickly and accurately as possible, extract the Gel from their brains.

 

At first, Ling Mo thought this would take quite a bit of time, but after Ye Lian and the others sprang into action, he realized he had underestimated them.

 

After all, they were Leader-Level. Although not as savage as their wild counterparts, their actions were cleaner and more efficient.

 

Ling Mo had barely announced the start when he already had six Virus Gels of varying sizes and purities in his hand.

 

“At this rate… the Senior Zombies in this area won’t be enough for hunting,” Ling Mo thought as he looked ahead, clutching the Gels.

 

…

 

“Swish!”

 

Li Yalin silently appeared behind a Zombie, her right hand reaching out at an impossible angle to grab its neck before it could react.

 

As the Zombie raised its arm, Li Yalin’s wrist twisted slightly.

 

It didn’t look like she used much force, but the Zombie’s neck immediately tilted to the side, hanging limply. Its blood-red eyes widened, but they had already lost their light.
