As Ling Mo controlled the Zombie Puppet to follow, Xia Na and Li Yalin had already entered the Monster’s “nesting ground” one after the other.
Once the concern for scouting ahead was gone, their movents beca much lighter than Ling Mo’s had been before.
The sight of the floating fish corpse did shock them montarily, but the two Female Zombies, highly adaptable, continued on their way as if nothing had happened.
…In fact… neither of them was as calm as they appeared…
After hearing such eerie details, who could remain calm?
They were completely stunned!
They encountered Ling Mo’s main body here? And before Ling Mo’s Zombie Puppet found her? How could that be possible?!
Yet, Li Yalin wouldn’t doubt Xia Na’s eyesight, nor question the truthfulness of her words… So, after struggling to comprehend that statent, she asked with so confusion, “Um… you’re sure you followed him?”
“Of course!” Xia Na responded, her eyes wide.
Putting herself in Li Yalin’s shoes, if it had been her who crawled into the Elevator maintenance hatch and then entered the pipe maze, only to find herself in this sewer… And there, she discovered Ling Mo, who was supposed to be at the temporary camp…
“I’d go crazy,” Li Yalin honestly said.
Xia Na actually nodded in agreent: “I did go crazy at that ti.”
“And then you…”
“I still followed him,” Xia Na answered preemptively, addressing the question Li Yalin was about to ask, and continued, “Actually, it was because I was following him that I ended up in that passage. I’m not sure if he noticed . But in that environnt, I couldn’t just call out to him…”
“What happened next? Did you catch up?” Li Yalin asked eagerly. Being a Zombie was weird enough, but she hadn’t expected to encounter sothing even she found bizarre. Senior Sister even felt a bit creeped out… If the person Xia Na saw was Ling Mo, then who was the one who had climbed down with her?
Xia Na had also thought about this problem… “No… If I had caught up, I wouldn’t have to be so frustrated about it. At a turn, he suddenly stopped and looked back at … I froze for a mont, and by the ti I reacted, he had already turned the corner. When I got there, all I saw was the empty passage. But I’m still not sure if he saw … How to put it, his expression was very strange.”
With that, Xia Na deliberately made a bewildered face and explained, “See? Just like this. It seed like he didn’t know what he was doing, and he had no reaction when he looked my way. I really don’t know how to explain it to Ling-Ge. Anyway, this place feels very strange, so no matter what, we need to explore here thoroughly first to understand what’s really going on.”
“Hmm…” Li Yalin listened sowhat dazedly but nodded in agreent. Indeed, when the situation was utterly confusing, the best approach was to clarify it…
“Actually… I suspect that wasn’t really Ling-Ge. And I have a strong feeling…” Xia Na hesitated and then added, “He might be the one who led down here. Maybe he led you guys down too…”
“Ah…” Li Yalin felt a chill down her spine, yet still asked, “Then who… is he?”
After a mont’s thought, Xia Na whispered, “No, more than his identity, I’m actually more curious about… how he pretended to be Ling-Ge? You know, Ling-Ge was supposed to be staying in the small building with Yuwen Xuan and the others…”
At the end of her statent, she involuntarily looked up at Li Yalin, her expression eerily strange…
Indeed! No matter who that “Ling Mo” was, the most pressing issue was how he managed to do that!
“This…” Li Yalin suddenly held her head, muttering, “Ugh… my head is about to explode.”
“Hey, hey…” Xia Na quickly opened her arms and hugged her, comforting, “Stop thinking about it… That’s why I didn’t want to talk about it. As for Ling-Ge… I think maybe now is not the ti to tell him. At least, we should wait until I figure out what exactly is going on…”
At that ti, she was in the pipe maze, while Li Yalin was wandering around Rosen Company battling Zombies… Maybe when she encountered Ling Mo’s Zombie Puppet, the figure leading Xia Na forward had already changed into Ling Mo…
What had the real Ling Mo encountered during that ti?
For Xia Na, this remained unknown…
Subconsciously, Xia Na wanted to resolve this issue… Without worrying Ling Mo further, she needed to sort out this matter related to him…
“Maybe, it will be a bit easier for him?” Xia Na thought.
…
The two won paused by the pool, and Xia Na scanned the area before pointing with her Scythe toward the partially subrged passage: “This way, right?”
“That’s the only way.” Li Yalin spoke as she excitedly stepped into the water. Despite just hearing such shocking news, her Fem Fatale nature inadvertently revealed the Zombie’s instinct for danger and thrill… What would terrify a normal person was highly anticipated by a Zombie. This wasn’t just a difference between humans and Zombies, but also between Zombies and these underground monsters… Compared to Zombies with personalities, these underground monsters seed more like pure Monsters. As for which posed a greater threat to humans, it was hard to say at the mont…
Compared to Li Yalin, Xia Na was much calr.
She first scraped so mucus off the fence with the tip of her Scythe, then brought it to her nose to sll.
anwhile, spiritual body Nana’s head peeked out from her shoulder, also intently examining the mucus. Her form flickered like TV static, but her eyes remained bright. When she appeared, Li Yalin in the water also saw her imdiately… This showed that Nana had actively “revealed” herself.
Despite Nana’s sudden appearance, Li Yalin showed a familiar expression and even waved: “Black Na, Nana…”
This habit of greeting separately was developed from living together for a long ti…
“This slls quite pungent…” Black Na, controlling the body, revealed a strange smile and blinked.
“It looks like it was accidentally wiped there… It’s from those monsters, and most likely secreted from their bodies, like Sweat!” Nana analyzed.
She glanced at the fence and quickly made this judgnt. The reason was simple… During their pursuit of Ling Mo, those monsters wouldn’t deliberately rub against the fence, right? Thus, this mucus could only be sothing they secreted all the ti…
“How do you know it’s not their ‘blood’?” Li Yalin also sniffed at the fence and turned to ask.
Nana chuckled confidently, “If it were blood, then it must have been from Ling-Ge’s attack, right? I’m not denying that… Actually, Ling-Ge must have caused quite a stir to do sothing… But judging by the number of those monsters, Ling-Ge could only have injured one or two at most. Any more than that, and he would have been surrounded and unable to escape. Such one or two monsters, even if they left blood on the fence, would definitely have it wiped off by the ones following. So, blood can be ruled out.”
“That does sound reasonable… But how are you so sure the blood would definitely be wiped off?” Black Na challenged. She wasn’t actually interested in the answer, but as another “personality” sharing the sa body, Black Na enjoyed bickering with Nana…
“Because it’s on the left, right, and above!” Nana rolled her eyes, “This shows that those monsters are of normal human size, and such a small gap can only be squeezed through…”
