Seeing this, Xu Shuhan and Ban Yue, the two Female Zombies, imdiately tensed up.
But Xia Na and Yalin, who were much closer, simply watched it quietly. In fact, when their eyes t, the two won even exchanged a cold, sinister smile.
“Human, you…” Old Gou struggled to slowly stand up… To be able to barely stand in such a heavily injured state showed just how tenacious its vitality was. Even Ling Mo was a bit shocked by the recovery speed of its psychic light cluster. According to his estimation, even if this Zombie could open its eyes quickly, it would still take so ti to fully regain consciousness. Especially since it called out “human” as soon as it opened its eyes, this guy didn’t even seem to have any aftereffects…
“This is great!” Ling Mo thought with delight.
Being able to Control it while its psychic light cluster was completely intact ant Ling Mo had fully grasped an information bank related to Central City.
And from the bits and pieces Old Gou had revealed earlier, the thoroughness and complexity of Central City were even greater than he had imagined.
“You…” Old Gou flapped its wings and staggered toward Ling Mo.
Xu Shuhan couldn’t help but show a wary expression, but in the next second, she was surprised to see that although Old Gou reached out toward Ling Mo, it didn’t attack him.
On the contrary, it licked its lips and stretched out its hand as if begging for food, saying, “I’m hungry… so hungry…”
“Is it asking you to obediently offer your hand to be bitten…” Even though she knew that couldn’t be the case, this bizarre scene still made Xu Shuhan mutter to herself.
“Hahaha…” Ling Mo couldn’t help but smile.
This last-minute attempt in a mont of crisis had now succeeded perfectly…
Especially since Ling Mo felt he hadn’t turned it into a normal Zombie Puppet… It wasn’t a replacent, nor did it establish a connection. Ling Mo felt his thod of Control was more like a forceful suppression. It was as if he had placed a shackle-a higher will-over its original consciousness.
This feeling was quite novel for Ling Mo… He could clearly sense that Old Gou was now completely obeying his orders, not just simply under his control.
“I don’t know why… but I feel like this is the most proper way to Control a Zombie Puppet. If I don’t need to micromanage everything and only need to give orders, then the number of Zombie Puppets I can control would increase exponentially…”
But this was just a thought, because so far, except for foreign zombies, he hadn’t encountered any other Zombies with this kind of psychic condition.
“Maybe it’s not that I’m wrong, but that the Zombies in X City evolved incorrectly. No… not wrong, perhaps it’s just because there hasn’t been a Zombie city established here yet, so the Zombies haven’t ford a systematic evolution thod… That’s why there’s this fundantal difference from foreign zombies…”
As Ling Mo pondered, he took out a piece of Gel and handed it to Old Gou, saying, “From now on, you’ll be called Bat.”
“Okay.” Old Gou grabbed the Gel and stuffed it into its mouth in one bite.
But to Ling Mo’s surprise, as soon as it swallowed, it looked at him eagerly again.
“Uh… seriously…” Ling Mo frowned and took out another piece.
Then another…
And another…
“Enough! Just how big is your appetite?!” Ling Mo felt a pang of pain… Sure, this guy was powerful and useful, but the consumption was just too much…
Old Gou-or rather, Bat-swallowed the Gel in its mouth and finally said, “This kind of Low-Level stuff, I actually haven’t eaten it in a long ti. Giving sothing like this is a waste…”
“Hey!”
All the Female Zombies shouted at once.
This is what they usually eat, okay!
This newcor is just showing off in the most shaless way possible!
“Also, you should call him master, got it?” Black Silk corrected earnestly.
Ling Mo was about to say that having a dead bat call him that was just too awkward, but Bat had already bowed obediently, “Master.”
“…Alright, it’s not as awkward as I thought,” Ling Mo said.
He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but when Bat bowed just now, it actually had a bit of style…
For a mont, even Ling Mo felt like he was becoming more gentlemanly… But just as he was sighing about this in his mind, he imdiately heard four or five different voices say at the sa ti:
“No, you’re not…”
“You’re just overthinking it…”
“Gentleman? Hahahaha…”
“…I really need to shield you all…” Ling Mo’s eye twitched, but he still asked, “Bat, what did you an by what you just said?”
“Master, what I ant was… this kind of Low-Level stuff shouldn’t be given to Advanced Beings like . It’s a waste of its original effect. Maybe you’ve already noticed, but for us… let’s just use the human term Zombie for now. Once we Zombies evolve to a higher level, we no longer hunt Low-Level Zombies at will. Zombies of the sa level will use those of the sa or even higher level as stepping stones for evolution. It’s our nature… Even at our level, it’s still the sa.” Bat explained thodically.
If you hadn’t just seen it go berserk, you’d probably think it was a gentle and harmless guy…
But Ling Mo didn’t notice this… He was shocked by Bat’s words.
Indeed… Senior Zombies rarely attack Low-Level Zombies, and even if they do, it’s not for hunting.
But to avoid danger, Ling Mo rarely sought out Senior Zombies on purpose.
“The brutal competition among Zombies really does extend all the way to the end…” Ling Mo was silent for a while before sighing.
But he didn’t feel any regret… The evolution model Bat described was undoubtedly one with an extrely high elimination rate. Even one or two survivors out of ten would be considered ideal. Of course, these Zombies wouldn’t have any statistics on this, but by making up for quality with quantity, hadn’t he still managed to raise these Female Zombies to this level?
Of course, given the current situation, Gel, or even an ordinary mother hive, really doesn’t have much effect anymore…
He thought for a mont and asked, “What about humans? What’s the deal there?”
Bat replied without hesitation, “‘Blood Feast’ doesn’t help us advance in evolution… but ‘Blood Feast’ can enhance our mutated abilities, or even directly allow us to mutate successfully. So Zombies of the sa level, and ‘Blood Feast’, are our best hunting targets.”
At this point, it suddenly added, “If I may be frank, master, a team like yours is the easiest to be targeted…”
