But now was not the time to assign blame, besides Ling Mo still had to thank these two idiots.
These past few days, Ye Lian had already been starving and in need of feeding… And Ling Mo was also at a bottleneck, perhaps after Ye Lian evolved, he could also break through this barrier and become even stronger.
So in Ling Mo's eyes, this terrifying mutated zombie was not only not frightening, but very intimate!
However, as his eyes lit up, Ling Mo vaguely sensed that this mutated zombie seemed a bit different from the ones he had encountered before, its strength seemingly a bit greater… It didn't matter if it was a bit stronger, the key was that they had to get rid of it as soon as possible!
Lu Xin's screams echoed throughout the supermarket, and Shana and Liu Yuhao would arrive soon. By then, even if they killed the mutated zombie, they wouldn't be able to dig out its brain fluid in front of everyone, that would be a waste!
And the mutated zombie, upon seeing Ling Mo and Ye Lian suddenly appear, also rushed at them without hesitation.
But what made Ling Mo's heart skip a beat was that its target of attack was not him, but Ye Lian!
Indeed, compared to ordinary zombies, mutated zombies prioritized attacking their own kind over regular people.
"You dare attack Ye Lian, are you courting death!" Seeing this mutated zombie charge straight at Ye Lian, Ling Mo was immediately furious. He simply lowered the control over Ye Lian to the minimum, allowing her to exert herself fully. And he himself drew out a short dagger, circling around to the side of the mutated zombie.
As soon as she was freed, the terrifying aura on Ye Lian's body instantly soared, her dark eyes filled with unrestrained ferocity and killing intent! Affected by their spiritual connection, Ling Mo also felt his blood flow speed up, his eyes seeing only that mutated zombie!
Compared to the formidable power of the mutated zombie, Ye Lian was still somewhat lacking in strength. But she was petite and nimble, her small range movements more agile. Her attack speed was also a bit faster than the mutated zombie's. However, the environment here was not advantageous, with a wall on one side and shelves on the other.
This fat mutated zombie only needed to swing its arms to almost fully encompass Ye Lian and Ling Mo in its attack range. This left Ling Mo with his short dagger no way to get close to it.
For a time, although Ye Lian was not in danger, she also did not have the upper hand, and even showed signs of falling behind.
This was due to the influence of Ling Mo's spiritual connection, Ye Lian's fighting style was not as desperate as the mutated zombie's… The mutated zombie was driven completely by instinct, as long as it still breathed, it would be impossible for it to stop attacking, and it also would never think of defending itself. Although its body had already been slashed with many wounds by Ling Mo, this mutated zombie was completely unaffected!
It had to thank its terrifying obese body, a slash of the knife simply couldn't reach bone or sinew.
And by now, they could already hear Shana and the others approaching. They had to speed things up!
In this urgent situation, a ruthless aura also erupted within Ling Mo's heart. He abandoned his strategy of attacking from the side, and charged straight towards the front of the mutated zombie!
By doing so, even if the mutated zombie completely ignored him, it would have no choice but to attack him. But as the mutated zombie's terrifyingly powerful hand grabbed at him, Ling Mo's eyes suddenly became very calm in that instant.
In that fleeting moment between life and death, relying on the willpower he had cultivated over this time, Ling Mo forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and focused all his attention on the mutated zombie's mental core!
"Buzz!"
An extremely uncomfortable sensation instantly welled up in Ling Mo's heart, his chest feeling stifled, while his head spun dizzily.
Controlling two mutated zombies at once was indeed a brand new challenge, because unlike ordinary zombies, their instincts were stronger, and controlling them resulted in a mental backlash against Ling Mo!
Especially when both mutated zombies were engaged in battle!
A life or death struggle! Ling Mo's ruthless aura enabled him to actually endure!
And this fleeting fraction of a second felt like an entire day to Ling Mo. But even so, when he felt that he had gained control of the mutated zombie's body, Ling Mo wanted to laugh out loud!
He didn't expect that in this situation, he could still succeed. The increase in his mental strength had indeed greatly enhanced his capabilities.
But excitement aside, as soon as this mutated zombie was controlled, Ye Lian who had circled behind him instantly reached out and scooped out its brain fluid. As this hulking body crashed to the ground, Ling Mo had already taken the fluid from Ye Lian's hand, excitedly putting it into his pocket.
But as soon as the fight ended, Ling Mo suddenly felt his head go blank, and a line of warm liquid instantly flowed from his nostrils.
At this time Shana, Liu Yuhao and the others who had just arrived saw the corpse fall and the blood pouring from Ling Mo's nose.
"Are you alright!" Shana asked anxiously, while Liu Yuhao gaped at the scene before him.
"I'm fine." A little nosebleed was nothing. Being able to successfully control two mutated zombies was a breakthrough for Ling Mo. He could clearly feel that although his combat strength had not evolved, his mental strength had completely broken through that barrier!
It was not through Ye Lian's evolution, but through his own efforts and desperation! This sense of accomplishment made Ling Mo extremely happy.
Seeing that Ling Mo did indeed seem fine, Shana's gaze turned to the two people on the ground.
The one who had been torn apart was definitely dead, but unexpectedly Lu Xin still clung to life. His back was ripped open by a horrifying wound, but no internal organs were damaged. When Liu Yuhao turned him over, he was actually still conscious.
"Ah…" Lu Xin let out groans of pain, but few paid him any attention.
Whether it was the terrifying zombie corpse on the ground, or the one still gasping for breath, they were more worthy of attention than Lu Xin.
Only Liu Yuhao swiftly took out bandages and hemostatics, starting to treat Lu Xin's wounds. But amidst the groans of pain, the extremely resentful gaze in Lu Xin's eyes remained stealthily fixed on Ling Mo.
Why! Why didn't he save him! Ling Mo could have saved him in that moment!
Hatred filled Lu Xin's heart, but this mutated zombie's death let him clearly know that no matter how much he hated, he didn't dare provoke Ling Mo!
"He's dying."
Shana walked to her mutilated companion's side and said softly.
Yet he was still convulsing, still breathing. His dim eyes even revealed a glimmer of pleading.
Even at this point, no one wished to die just like this. From his eyes it wasn't hard to see, he still wanted to live, still didn't want to die. Even in…such agony.
But as the blade in front of him suddenly swung past, the glimmer in his eyes quickly faded away. His wide open eyes still held the shadow of Shana's slashing blade.
"Ah!"
A girl immediately covered her mouth and cried out, while a hint of approval flashed in Ling Mo's eyes.
