Chapter 965: The Correct Way to Fish
âClang⌠ClangâŚâ
The indistinct sounds continued to emanate from not too far ahead, and as the two of them quickened their pace, they had covered a considerable distance in less than a minute. But aside from the persistent darkness, they saw nothing at all, let alone catching up to the figureâŚ
âLing Mo, thereâs a fork in the road ahead!â Xu Shuhan suddenly whispered.
âAre there any marks?â
âYesâŚâ
âFollow them.â
âHuh? What ifâŚâ
âItâs fine.â Ling Moâs tone was very confident.
With the arrangements made by the Zombie Puppet, his mood had also gradually stabilized.
Yuwen Xuan was no fool; he understood the risks. As for the figure, though eerie, as long as one could calm down and avoid Interference, it would not lead them by the nose.
âThe Zombie Puppet was fooled once, and I didnât expect the main body to fall for it tooâŚâ Ling Mo couldnât help but think self-deprecatingly.
But on second thought, the figure had also adjusted its strategy. Under those circumstances, it was hard for anyone to simply ignore it⌠But now it was different. Now that they knew it was not something like the Progenitor, at most, it was just a decoy, and the threat it posed was greatly reduced.
The appearance of the fork was also an opportunity for them.
Maybe they shouldnât chase this decoy anymore, but rather let the decoy come after them⌠Waiting for the fish to hit the hook naturally posed a great threat, but what if the hook was chasing the fish all over the pond?
Still, that didnât mean there was no threatâŚ
âItâs worth a gamble!â Ling Mo thought to himself.
They quickly reached the intersection, and Xu Shuhan glanced in the direction of the âhelp cries,â then gritted her teeth and pulled Ling Mo in the opposite direction. In the pitch-black environment, Ling Mo felt his feet pause briefly, then he turned half around.
Turning around⌠he also focused his attention behind. The âclangâ sound seemed still far away, not noticing their movement.
Xu Shuhan also breathed a slight sigh of relief. Though not obvious, being temporarily away from the Monster did reduce her anxiety a bit.
âHurry up.â Ling Mo whispered.
âButâŚâ Xu Shuhan hesitated, âyour bodyâŚâ
âJust run with confidence.â Ling Mo said. The Female Zombie was clearly worried he couldnât endure it, because not only were the ground conditions poor here, but the air was particularly murky. Most people couldnât stand staying here long, let alone running at speed⌠But Ling Moâs body was, after all, slightly modified, though not as transformed as Tang Hao and the others, but he was no longer one hundred percent human eitherâŚ
âOkayâŚâ Xu Shuhan finally nodded, âIf you feel uncomfortable, just tell me.â
She quietly tightened her fingers, clasping Ling Moâs palm completely. The next second, her feet suddenly left the ground. Carrying Ling Mo, she darted forward.
The âclangâ sound was quickly left far behind, but Xu Shuhanâs speed never relaxed.
Ling Mo, being led by her, remained silent. She glanced sideways with her peripheral vision, thinking, âHe must be struggling to breathe right now⌠When heâs with them, does he also struggle like this⌠The difference between Zombies and humans is really big, isnât it? Does he realize itâŚâ
Being human didnât feel different, but after becoming a Zombie, she started observing these differences more⌠And for Xu Shuhan, the best object of observation was naturally Ling Mo, who interacted with Zombies, and the best opportunity for observation was like this moment⌠ášĐđ˝ĐđÎᚢ
âThinking about it⌠When I was human, I never held hands with the opposite sex like thisâŚâ Xu Shuhan couldnât help but think. Ling Moâs body temperature, heartbeat, all continuously transmitted through the palm.
âI have no comparable experienceâŚâ Xu Shuhan was curious, whether this feeling was unique to becoming a Zombie, or if it was naturally occurring between opposite sexes?
Feeling his heartbeat, she also became involuntarily excitedâŚ
âUh⌠Well, at least I can be sure that drooling is definitely because of becoming a ZombieâŚâ Xu Shuhan helplessly licked the corner of her mouth, thinking, âItâs tough interacting with humans⌠Pain and joy together! Speaking of becoming a Zombie, I really became a super foodie⌠Ah! Iâm so hungry!â
âHow far now?â Ling Mo suddenly covered his mouth and asked.
His voice was somewhat muffled, but Xu Shuhan snapped back to reality and was also startled. Her eyes widened as she guiltily replied, âAlmost three hundred meters.â
âAnd the distance from it?â Ling Mo asked again.
âIf it has kept moving, it should be about five hundred meters now. As for the straight-line distance, Iâm not sureâŚâ
This sewer wasnât always a straight line, although the curve wasnât very big⌠But even if it wasnât up to five hundred meters, the distance was far enough, and it was still extending every second. Xu Shuhan was actually praying that the Monster wouldnât chase them anymore, not knowing that what Ling Mo was concerned about was exactly the oppositeâŚ
âFive hundred meters⌠It shouldnât keep failing to react, right?â Ling Mo thought.
âLing Mo, there should be sewer covers on this road, right?â Xu Shuhan suddenly said, âThe exit they arranged, could it be at such a location?â
âPossibly⌠Keep an eye out. But even if we canât find it, itâs okayâŚâ
Ling Moâs words evidently made Xu Shuhan a bit puzzled. She furrowed her brow, thinking, âBut the entrance we used has alreadyâŚâ
âIf Tang Hao is not dead, he will definitely come down.â Ling Mo said.
âRight⌠That captive is really multi-purposeâŚâ Xu Shuhan couldnât help thinking a bit maliciously.
Thinking again about Ling Mo⌠Just a captive, why include him in everything? That captive was really unlucky, to have messed with himâŚ
âAh!â
Just then, Xu Shuhan suddenly let out a low cry.
She stopped, then looked ahead: âI see a new mark.â
âWhat?â Ling Mo was about to turn on the Flashlight, but although it was pitch dark around, it still felt very open both in front and behind⌠In such a suffocating environment, turning on a Flashlight also felt like a lot of pressureâŚ
âItâs a⌠forkâŚâ Xu Shuhan stuttered, âAnd itâs next to a hole in the wall at a tunnel entrance⌠I think, it means we shouldnât go in, right?â
