Chapter 1015: The Girl in Amber
In this cramped and oppressive space, Ling Mo silently locked eyes with the black fog monster for a moment…
After a few seconds, he averted his gaze and began the arduous task of scraping away the mucus layer.
Since the substance hadn’t fully solidified yet, even though the Zombie Puppet lacked strength, Ling Mo managed to use his sharp nails to extract the black fog monster.
Just as the black fog monster extended a hand, trying to crawl out of the crevice completely, Ling Mo suddenly lunged forward…
“Grrr…” The black fog monster attempted to struggle, but its hand was caught by the Zombie Puppet, and its body was still trapped in the mucus. Despite being physically stronger than the half-dead zombie, the black fog monster found itself at a disadvantage, unable to escape.
Ling Mo seized the opportunity before the monster’s other hand could emerge, and he quickly shoved his palm inside…
“Hmm?”
Through the black fog, he first felt a patch of soft skin… but soon, his hand began to fumble around.
“Speak up, who exactly are you? I can tell you wanted to get in here, right? That Humanoid Monster that was sent in earlier, you brought it here in advance, didn’t you? You did this to exhaust the monster above… so you could act when the time was right, correct? If my guesses are correct, then the next question is: why did you choose me? Are you really…” Ling Mo whispered urgently, pressing for answers.
“Grrr…”
The black fog monster struggled fiercely, finally managing to flip its body over. Ling Mo immediately felt the Zombie Puppet’s back pressed against one of the “eggs,” and suddenly, his hand was empty.
The black fog monster somehow created an opening above and wriggled its way out. As it was about to crawl deeper, Ling Mo suddenly grabbed its ankle… although he hadn’t confirmed its identity, Ling Mo was increasingly convinced of his suspicions. But precisely because of this, he felt a bit frustrated…
The black fog monster glanced back at him but didn’t resist, dragging the Zombie Puppet forward. After a long four or five seconds, Ling Mo sensed the surroundings beginning to open up… the distance between the “eggs” and the Zombie Puppet was noticeably widening… soon, he and the black fog monster reached the edge of a large circular pit…
The pit didn’t seem deep. Above, there were countless humanoid “eggs”… From here, looking upward, one could clearly discern the “hierarchy” of these underground monsters. On the outermost layer were the Humanoid Monsters, in the middle were the black fog monsters, and further inside were those with the “Giant Face.” At the very center was the monster that initially lured them in… Besides that, there was even a Face-Changing Monster here.
“No wonder the passage leading here is so heavily guarded… This must be their Headquarters… But so many, could they all have been created by that monster outside? These… could they be about to ‘hatch’?” Ling Mo stared in shock at the monsters, and as he scanned them one by one, some of the monsters’ chests even heaved suddenly.
“That mucus layer… could it have bubbles? Otherwise, how are they breathing?” Ling Mo didn’t need to think to know that the mucus must be filled with viruses. During the process of being enveloped by the mucus, the virus would seep into the monsters’ bodies through their pores, thereby “transforming” them. Unfortunately, time was limited. He couldn’t just lie down and experience it himself…
With this thought, Ling Mo suddenly had a strange idea…
“Tang Hao has been here!”
This was undeniable… And it’s highly possible that Tang Hao and they didn’t exactly take the same path. Perhaps the Survivors had a safe way to reach here… But what Ling Mo was truly thinking at this moment was-Tang Hao, Butterfly, and maybe even that little girl, the three of them. At least they had entered this pit before. Perhaps they found the method of transformation here. This seemingly coincidental event was actually orchestrated by the little girl…
“According to Tang Hao, the first to possess this ability was Butterfly… But if Butterfly’s ability was found by the little girl leading him here, then it makes sense! The little girl initially targeted Butterfly, and subsequently, under her direction, Butterfly began searching for other Survivors. Turning them one by one into her test subjects. No, perhaps Butterfly’s so-called other personality is actually her… Come to think of it, when she spoke, I did feel a strange sense of familiarity… Moreover, to better control them, she fabricated a lie that the side effects could be resolved… Or rather, she made them aware of the side effects, just to keep them here. Otherwise, this place, not suitable for Survivors, couldn’t possibly have kept them for so long… When the surrounding Survivors were all swept away, we happened to appear. But by then, the little girl’s experiment was also nearing its end, and the patience of those Survivors had been exhausted!”
Ling Mo suddenly realized… Everything was clear, and with this understanding, he completely grasped it!
“The little girl originally planned to have these survivors implement the plan, but it was disrupted by me… Maybe she noticed me when I controlled the Zombie Puppet to infiltrate Rosen Company… At that time, who exactly saw me?” Ling Mo quickly recalled. ṛÅƝỒβĚ𐌔
At this moment, his body belonged to a Zombie, whose memory capacity far exceeded that of ordinary humans… As Ling Mo sifted through the memories, it felt as if a slideshow was rapidly playing before his eyes…
“It’s her!”
Ling Mo suddenly paused and his eyes widened.
He initially thought it might have been the Progenitor Zombie, Fang Ying, but what he saw at this moment was the little zombie hiding behind the curtains… Yueyue. More precisely, the Parasitic Monster in her mouth…
It stared through the gap in the curtains, fixating on a few Zombies that had suddenly started moving below… And before that, it had been watching Ling Mo and others hiding behind the Bus… It had always been observing them, and only at this moment did Ling Mo realize this…
“I killed it… but Yueyue is still alive…” Ling Mo shuddered. He suddenly understood why the little girl could exhibit such strong confidence… She had been observing them all along, even when Ling Mo was completely unaware of their previous contact. But did she know it was Ling Mo…
Ling Mo pondered this point. Additionally, he felt a hint of relief.
At least, he had discovered it… And even before this, he had similar suspicions. This meant that her confidence was not unassailable…
“Caw caw…”
The black fog monster could not wait any longer and crawled into the pit. It groped around for a while below before suddenly turning around and pulling Ling Mo down.
Ling Mo snapped back to reality, his scalp tingling instantly. He was about to curse when he was stunned by the scene before him… More accurately, the scene beneath him…
A crystal clear body, resembling amber, was now under his pressure… The mucus on its surface had been almost completely absorbed, leaving only a thin layer… Thus, its appearance was very clearly displayed before Ling Mo.
It was a very delicate body, similar in size to a human female… In terms of height, it was roughly similar to Yu Shiran, but it was much frailer. Long black curly hair partially covered its body, winding down to its ankles. Around its neck, a long, centipede-like mark stretched up to its shoulders. However, this blood-red mark was not repulsive; on the contrary, it was flamboyant, bloody, filled with brutality and a crimson beauty…
Ling Mo was immediately captivated by the mark, and it took him a full second to shift his gaze to the face…
“Holy crap!”
