Chapter 970: The Dark Cuisine of the Virus World
The Monster was indeed motionlessā¦ When Ling Mo used his Tentacle to flip it over, he found that its head was already a mess. Both eyes were sunken in, and its torso was covered in deep, bone-revealing wounds. The massive exhaustion and continuous injuries ultimately became the two sharp blades that ended it. Its final frenzied charge at Ling Mo was the last straw that broke its backā¦
The more it got hurt, the more it went into a Frenzy, creating a vicious cycle.
āWith the speed it showed earlier, it would have been really difficult to aim at itā¦ā Ling Mo stared at the Monster for a moment and sighed. Its small size and incredible speed made it a challenging target for precise attacks.
āYeahā¦ If I hadnāt seen it with my own eyes, I wouldnāt believe these injuries were self-inflictedā¦ā Xu Shuhan couldnāt help but comment.
This Monsterās Intelligence was surprisingly limitedā¦ Or perhaps it understood nothing beyond luring prey!
āBut how did you know?ā Xu Shuhan asked.
āItās simple,ā Ling Mo replied without looking up, āWhen it saw me with you, it didnāt show any surpriseā¦ It just drooled.ā
āThatās trueā¦ā Xu Shuhan was taken aback. She didnāt expect such a straightforward answerā¦ But thinking about it, it was precisely because it was simple that it was easily overlooked! How did he even notice thatā¦
āItās because I wasnāt cautious enoughā¦ He just paid attention to the basic details, but even so, it makes me feel the gap is hugeā¦ā Xu Shuhan thought, feeling somewhat defeated.
At this moment, Ling Mo had already put the Flashlight in his mouth and swiftly drew a dagger.
āWhat are you doing!ā Xu Shuhan was startled and immediately had a bad feeling.
āGel, thereās a strong virus scent in the wounds.ā Ling Mo mumbled, then began to cut at the wounds on the corpse.
āYouā¦ā Xu Shuhan wanted to complain, but when she touched her pocket, she remembered she still had the virus gel Ling Mo gave herā¦
āLet me do it.ā She suddenly said softly.
āUhā¦ No need, Iā¦ā
Ling Mo had just responded when he was pulled up, and the dagger in his hand was gone.
Xu Shuhan gripped the dagger, took a deep breath, and said, āIāll do it. I canāt always trouble you guysā¦ā
She spoke while staring at the corpse, frowning as she slowly extended her handā¦
āUmā¦ Can you not stare at meā¦ā As the knife reached the wound, she suddenly added.
Ling Mo, holding the Flashlight, glanced at her with a complex expression, then silently turned his head.
āPlop!ā
Two seconds later, the sound of the knife cutting into flesh finally came, followed by a series of chilling slicing soundsā¦
āHereā¦ā
Xu Shuhan handed over the knife and gel, then turned away and retched.
āYour first reaction is quite intenseā¦ā Ling Mo said, patting her back while turning his head.
āIā¦ hate you!ā Xu Shuhan said, her mouth open as she āvomitedā for a while, finally raising her tear-streaked face, āNow I know, being a Zombie isnāt easyā¦ā Čį¼źŠ¾šŠS
āIn what way?ā
āCanāt vomit, canāt cryā¦ā Xu Shuhan said helplessly.
āYou canāt even have the three urges, and you still want to vomitā¦ā
āā¦ā
As they talked, Ling Mo was already examining the gel. He shone the Flashlight on it and said, āJust as I thought.ā
āWhat?ā Xu Shuhan leaned over to take a look, but immediately regretted it and turned away to retch againā¦
Under the light, the thumb-sized gel had a very peculiar colorā¦ Unlike Zombie gel, this Humanoid Monsterās gel was almost completely transparent, but its surface was covered with countless black veins. Holding it felt like holding a miniature organ. Because it was highly elastic, it felt almost āalive.ā
Xu Shuhan was disgusted by this characteristicā¦ It wasnāt just ugly, it was also bouncingā¦
āThese Underground creatures are a completely different species from Zombies. Their essence might be the same, but theyāve completely diverged in other aspects. Even the location of the gel is differentā¦ Zombies have it in their Hindbrain, but this Monsterās gel is inside its body. If Iām not mistaken, itās in the heart?ā Ling Mo asked.
āYeahā¦ā Xu Shuhan nodded with a pale face, covering her mouth, āIn the heartā¦ Ugh!ā Thinking about the process of digging out the heart, she bent over againā¦
āReallyā¦ So, does that mean humans could also develop gel inside their bodies? Not regular people, but superhumansā¦ Could some of them have already formed something like gel or a mother hive as an āenergy batteryā? But never mind, this hypothesis is hard to prove, so letās set it aside for now.ā Ling Mo said as he carefully stored the gel, āBut these Monsters seem to produce very little gelā¦ Could it be that the energy it contains is much higher? Like the virus concentration?ā
Xu Shuhan looked at him in shock, āYouāre still thinking about eating it!ā
āWhy else would I dig it outā¦ā Ling Mo said.
āYou canāt eat this! Itās like the dark cuisine of the virus world!ā Xu Shuhan exclaimed. Are you kidding! This thing isnāt even a proper Zombie! Who knows what it really is! It might be some newly evolved organ! Sure, organs are food, but Ye Lian and the others donāt even eat meat!
āBut before that, Iāll give it to Old Lan for research. Eating random things can affect evolutionā¦ā Ling Mo said, āDifferent viruses can affect the virus inside, ultimately either being Devoured or causing a variation in the main bodyā¦ā
āI see, you scared meā¦ā Xu Shuhan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he was really going to give it to Ye Lian and the othersā¦ If they ate it, she wouldnāt know how to face them! But Ling Moās virus theory did make her shudderā¦ If she kept eating male Zombie viruses, would she develop some weird traitsā¦
āAh, canāt think about itā¦ Itās just a virus, it wonāt affect me that much!ā Xu Shuhan quickly shook her head.
āLess eating should be fine. Want to try?ā Ling Mo added.
āNo way!ā
āWaitā¦ā
Xu Shuhan wanted to say more, but Ling Mo suddenly gestured for her to be quiet.
They had walked some distance, but the rear was still silent. However, faint sounds were coming from the darkness aheadā¦
Ling Mo had already wrapped the Flashlight in his clothes. He silently took off his jacket, placed it with the Flashlight, and then pulled Xu Shuhan back a few steps, hiding in the darkness.
Xu Shuhan immediately understood Ling Moās intention. It was a testā¦ If there was something ahead, their Flashlight would have been noticed long ago, and turning it off now would put them at a disadvantage. But if it just dimmed, the opponentās vision would be affected. The sudden dimming would make it lose its target, and by the time it adjusted, Ling Mo and Xu Shuhan would be gone. To investigate, it would have to approachā¦
Even if the sounds were just normal sewer noises, this test would only delay them briefly.
āThis is how humans surviveā¦ā Xu Shuhan thought, hiding behind Ling Mo. As a human, she hadnāt particularly realized thisā¦ She relied more on her abilities than on small tricks. Even when she used those tricks, she didnāt give them much importance. But now, seeing things from a Zombieās perspective, she suddenly understood why humans could survive in this environmentā¦
āHumans are much more insidious than Zombies!ā Xu Shuhan thought again.
