“Wait a mont!”
As the little girl slowly retreated into the black fog, Xu Shuhan hurriedly called out. But just as she took a step forward, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Ling Mo. At the sa ti, Xu Shuhan felt the little girl’s gaze shift sharply towards her…
“Ah…”
For a full two seconds, Xu Shuhan stood frozen, wide-eyed, staring at the little girl until her figure completely vanished from sight. Then she suddenly collapsed, leaning against the wall beside her, her face still etched with deep fear…
“She…” Xu Shuhan attempted to say sothing, turning her head to look at Ling Mo who had held her back, but in the end, she only managed to whisper two words, “Thank you…”
If it weren’t for Ling Mo, she might have…
Xu Shuhan didn’t dare to think further. She had a strong feeling that her fear this ti wasn’t just due to her own lingering emotions, but rather sothing about the little girl’s presence that instinctively terrified her… Yet, from the little girl, she hadn’t sensed anything related to the virus…
Was that a human?
No… it couldn’t be human… But if not, then what was she…
“Are you alright?” Ling Mo asked, standing up straight and rubbing his head without looking back.
“I’m fine.”
Xu Shuhan and Yuwen Xuan replied in unison. She then rembered Yuwen Xuan, who had been knocked away, and quickly turned to look.
In the darkness, Yuwen Xuan had already managed to get back on his feet and was shakily walking towards them. He seed to have just taken a fall, without any serious injuries. But even so, Xu Shuhan still felt a chill.
First, Yuwen Xuan was knocked away from a distance, then Ling Mo’s attack was mysteriously blocked and even backfired, and finally, she was completely paralyzed with fear by just a look from the little girl… The little girl hadn’t gone for the kill, yet the power she displayed was utterly overwhelming. Three against one, and they couldn’t even fight back…
Thinking of this, Xu Shuhan couldn’t help but start trembling. Just then, she felt Ling Mo’s grip tighten around her wrist, holding it firmly: “Don’t worry, it was just a test.”
“Yeah, we can definitely look at it positively,” Yuwen Xuan said, wiping his face. “With such an advantage, yet she didn’t kill us. What do you think that ans?”
“Mm…” Ling Mo nodded, clearly agreeing with Yuwen Xuan’s assessnt.
“Is she trying to play us to death?” Xu Shuhan pondered over the little girl’s last words before she left. If she truly was just a little girl, then such behavior wouldn’t be surprising. Perhaps for her, the thrill of the ga outweighed the outco.
“Maybe. But even if that’s the case, it gives us a bit of breathing room, doesn’t it?” Yuwen Xuan remarked optimistically. Despite his words, the wild look in his eyes betrayed the profound impact the little girl had on him, no less than what Xu Shuhan was feeling.
At that mont, Ling Mo suddenly pulled her behind him, saying, “Alright, no ti to dwell on her… Don’t forget, she left us a little gift.”
“Hoh…” Tang Hao, tilting his head, opened his mouth and emitted a series of incomprehensible sounds as the three of them turned their gaze towards him. His eyes were completely blood-red, and his physical state seed to have fully transitioned into a Zombie mode.
“But his eyes still look human…” Xu Shuhan murmured.
Indeed, if one focused solely on his eyes, Tang Hao appeared even more lucid than when Ling Mo first encountered him. But his body…
As Xu Shuhan finished speaking, Tang Hao suddenly threw his head back and let out a roar, “Roar!”
After the roar, his feet, dragging on the ground, suddenly bent, his gaze locked onto them.
“Dodge!” Ling Mo whispered urgently.
“Boom!”
Tang Hao’s feet slamd into the ground, propelling him forward like a missile. Upon hearing Ling Mo’s warning, Xu Shuhan and Yuwen Xuan simultaneously darted to the sides. Ling Mo, anwhile, leaped straight up, clinging to the ceiling, his feet seemingly glued to the wall.
“Roar!”
Tang Hao charged beneath Ling Mo, his explosive power was formidable; a direct confrontation might have put them at a disadvantage. Rembering the little girl, none of them dared risk injury. Witnessing Tang Hao’s imnse strength, Ling Mo made the swift decision to avoid direct conflict.
Avoid the sharp edge!
“Hoh…” Tang Hao now appeared as if his bones were misaligned, his body swaying as he charged. But upon realizing Ling Mo and the others had dodged, he couldn’t stop in ti. Just as he was about to pass beneath Ling Mo, he abruptly began to slow down, yet…
“Boom!”
It was as if he collided with an invisible iron spear; Tang Hao’s body jolted violently, erupting with several bursts of blood. He let out a pained howl, losing his balance due to the recoil.
“Now’s the ti!”
Xu Shuhan glanced at Ling Mo and charged forward. She was the only one who could get close enough to restrain this guy. And with her being unable to face the little girl, Ling Mo was the most valuable combat power to preserve… This was the mont for her to act!
But just as she reached out to grab Tang Hao’s shoulder from behind, Tang Hao, who had been falling forward, suddenly twisted his head around. His neck seed to have a swivel, and his head turned at an eerie angle of over a hundred degrees…
“Hoh…”
Tang Hao opened his mouth wide, lunging at Xu Shuhan. At the sa ti, his arm twisted unnaturally, reaching directly for her neck.
Xu Shuhan clearly didn’t expect this. Seeing the Monster’s gaping maw exuding a strong stench of blood approaching her, she didn’t even have ti to raise her arm to block…
However, at that mont, a burst of Fla suddenly exploded above Tang Hao’s head. Simultaneously, a figure swung down from above, kneeing Tang Hao hard on the Hindbrain.
“Ow!”
Tang Hao let out a cry, twisting his head as he fell. As soon as he hit the silt, the Fla on his head diminished, and Ling Mo landed on the ground with a frown, waving his hand over Tang Hao’s head to extinguish the Fla completely.
“Are you alright?” Ling Mo asked.
Xu Shuhan, still wide-eyed, suddenly felt a bit embarrassed when she heard him: “I’m fine…”
As a Zombie, she hadn’t been able to help…
“Thanks, we couldn’t have coordinated without your move,” Ling Mo said with a smile.
“This…” Xu Shuhan felt quite embarrassed… It was really humiliating! Please don’t thank … even though you seem sincere…
Fortunately, Ling Mo’s attention had already shifted to Tang Hao. He seed to have used psychic power to bind Tang Hao’s limbs, then walked over to stand beside the Monster, asking, “Why are you still here?”
“I’d like to ask the sa question,” Yuwen Xuan clapped his hands and said.
Compared to that little girl, this Monster was pathetically weak… Didn’t she say this was the real finished product? So what is this? Just here to scare them?
“Click, click, click…”
Tang Hao’s head slowly twisted back again, facing Ling Mo with a hideous expression, his throat continuously emitting “Hoh” sounds.
Before Ling Mo and the others could say anything, two lines of bloody tears suddenly rolled down Tang Hao’s cheeks, and he finally managed to squeeze out a few indistinct words: “Kill… kill … kill… …”
“I don’t understand,” Ling Mo said, unmoved. “Weren’t you looking forward to becoming like this? Having the body of a Monster while retaining self-awareness, this should be the ideal situation for you.”
His words were not ant as sarcasm… In fact, he was rely repeating what Tang Hao had once told him…
“If you don’t… kill… you’ll regret it…” Tang Hao sobbed, tears streaming down his face…
