“…” Xia Na was silent for a while before replying, “If it really is that Progenitor, then we need to be ready for a tough battle…”
“Be careful, check out the situation first, and don’t act rashly,” Ling Mo instructed.
“Mm, don’t worry, we’re just scouting. You guys follow behind us, that way you won’t get ambushed by them,” Xia Na answered.
After ending the psychic link, Ling Mo turned to Ye Kai and the others and said, “We’ve got big trouble…”
Once he explained all his deductions, Ye Kai and the others imdiately fell silent…
This really is a big problem… Zombies kill people, and that’s already brutal enough… But a zombie that kills without leaving a trace, that’s even more ruthless!
On top of that, the strongest fighter among them was a “ntal ability” superhuman… This made the terrifying level of that ntal ability Progenitor stand out even more…
“There are actually zombies like this…” Ye Kai muttered. For soone like him who rarely went out, and even when he did would try to avoid zombies as much as possible, the idea that zombies could have psychic power was almost mind-blowing…
“What else is next? Zombies with enhancent ability?” At first glance, zombie evolution seed to be developing in all directions, appearing quite balanced overall, but in reality, there were individual differences among these zombies. Variation zombies were a new type that erged when this “individuality” was magnified to the extre. Compared to common zombies, they were weaker in so aspects, but in certain areas they were exceptionally strong. For example, the one Ling Mo and the others were about to face was extrely powerful in terms of psychic power…
“No matter what, ntal ability? Zombies like that… must be pretty rare, right?” Mu Chen thought for a while, then said uneasily.
“Yeah… Everyone knows that when zombies first mutate, they have no ability to think at all. Only after further evolution can they gradually wake up from the chaos. But even if their intelligence fully recovers to human levels, their way of thinking is still very different from humans,” Zhang Xincheng said, frowning.
“That’s right… So zombies that focus their evolution on the brain should be quite rare. Actually, it’s the sa for humans; the proportion of enhancent ability superhumans is the largest, followed by ntal ability and elental ability. The number of mutation system superhumans is the smallest, but that’s probably because it’s hard for human limbs to undergo obvious variation… And considering that the base number of superhumans is already small, that makes the proportion of ntal ability superhumans among all human Survivors even tinier.”
Yuwen Xuan finally said sothing serious, but as soon as he started his next sentence, he was asking for a beating again: “So, people who like to think outside the box are an abnormal minority, and ntal ability superhumans are also freaks among humans…”
“Freak your ass… No matter what kind of superhuman you awaken as, it’s influenced by a lot of factors. In the end, it mainly depends on the virus-if it wants to infect a certain part of you, can you decide that yourself?” Mu Chen retorted.
Yuwen Xuan thought about it, then said thoughtfully, “That’s true… If I could choose, I’d definitely want fire to shoot out from the front, then I could na myself sothing like Fire-Breathing Dragon… When I et an enemy, I’d just walk up and shout loudly-then coolly unzip, pull out my weapon… Just imagining it feels aweso! Honestly, I’ve wanted to do that in front of a crowd for ages! Are you going to be a hero who dares to be honest with himself, or an ordinary person who always keeps his heart closed! Ahahaha…”
“The word ‘hero’ really doesn’t cost you anything, huh! You just want to be a perverted exhibitionist, right? Say one more word and I’ll turn you into a bug for life, free of charge…” Ling Mo suddenly turned his head, stared at him darkly, and said.
Yuwen Xuan t his gaze, then silently covered his crotch with his hand and shut his mouth…
“Alright, the first half of what the madman said is actually correct, which is that psychic variation in zombies is extrely rare. These zombies not only have intelligence equal to humans and stronger mory, but most importantly, they also possess psychic power… This is actually the sa as ntal ability superhumans. As long as zombies learn to use it, then they’re basically zombie versions of ntal ability superhumans…” Ling Mo continued.
Mu Chen imdiately showed a trace of wariness and voiced everyone’s concern: “So that ans… this guy is going to be really tough to deal with… It has psychic power, plus the natural advantages of a zombie… And it’s a Progenitor on top of that…”
“Progenitor, huh? The greatest advantage of a Progenitor is Infection. They’re basically a massive variation virus source, able to pull batch after batch of common zombies into their ranks. It’s like a Shamate showing up on the street, and then the whole block gets infected and ends up with Shamate hairstyles…” Ling Mo explained with an example.
Everyone pictured the scene, and then Xu Shuhan said, “That’s terrifying…”
“I don’t even know which is scarier… a street full of hair salons, or a street full of zombies… Both images are pretty brutal…” Mu Chen shivered.
“You guys really aren’t hearing the point, are you! What I an is, those zombies infected by this Progenitor… we’ve already taken care of them… just now.”
Ling Mo continued, “Now I have reason to believe that those Finished Products were actually all infected by that Progenitor. What he wants is to cultivate batches of zombies with extrely strong psychic power… That’s exactly why he even started using humans. And thinking about it this way, he’s actually already done this once in X City… But judging by the result, he failed pretty badly that ti. So he switched battlefields, and eventually ended up here.”
“That Human-headed Spider who could stay clear-headed might have given him a glimr of hope. As long as zombies can stay conscious during mutation, or quickly regain more thinking ability, they might beco the brain-evolved type… But what he wants is zombies or humans with not much thinking ability, but extrely strong psychic power…” Ling Mo analyzed.
Xu Shuhan listened nervously from the back… Staying conscious during mutation? Isn’t that talking about her? It’s just that she couldn’t shift her evolution toward the brain, but for that Progenitor zombie, this was already the most crucial foundation for all his experints…
“So… if that Progenitor notices my evolution level and my current ntal state, he’ll definitely beco very interested, right? But he probably never imagined that what he’s been racking his brains to research, Ling Mo has already succeeded at… So the one he’ll really be interested in is Ling Mo…”
Xu Shuhan secretly glanced at Ling Mo, only to find that Ling Mo’s expression hadn’t changed at all… But she knew Ling Mo had already realized this long ago…
“In other words, the current situation still gives us a chance…” Ling Mo said.
The others were still a bit uneasy… Looking at Ling Mo, then thinking about that zombie… No matter how you looked at it, it was a headache!
“Let’s hope so…” Zhang Xincheng sighed.
At that mont, Ye Lian suddenly sent a signal from up ahead: “Found… sothing!”
“What is it?” Ling Mo asked urgently, imdiately shifting his perspective. Follow current novels on novel·fire
Ye Lian probably knew what Ling Mo would do, so she didn’t bother explaining much.
Through Ye Lian’s perspective, the first thing Ling Mo saw was a line of words carved into the ground…
“Want to find your companions? Follow the arrows.”
“This… this probably isn’t Gu Shuangshuang…” Ye Lian stamred.
“Yeah, this is probably… that woman’s doing.” Ling Mo’s mood instantly grew heavy. The opponent’s ssage had suddenly appeared, and she’d deliberately left it on the ground, clearly telling them that Gu Shuangshuang had been found too… Now, she had two bargaining chips in her hands.
“But just now… we didn’t hear anything…” Ye Lian added.
Ling Mo was stunned for a mont, then suddenly realized, “That’s right! Gu Shuangshuang may be weak in combat, but she’s still a ntal ability superhuman… Even if she couldn’t win, she could stall for a bit, at the very least leave a mark, or shout sothing… How could it have been so silent… But anyway, since the other side said this, it ans they won’t go too far for now…”
Although they hadn’t caught up, at least this ant Ling Mo’s group still had so room to maneuver…
“We need to move faster…” Ling Mo said in a low voice.
The others didn’t know what Ling Mo had realized, but from his tone, they sensed sothing was wrong. The group stopped talking and just buried their heads, rushing forward desperately…
At the sa ti, Ye Lian and the others were already following arrow after arrow on the ground, entering another passage, and this passage was clearly extending upward…
