Chapter 997: The Necessary Concealment

“Ah ah ah…”

The “Giant Face” being dragged by Ling Mo screamed all the way, its cries reaching Xia Na and Li Yalin’s ears from a distance.

The two Female Zombies were crouching in a dark crevice, eagerly watching outside. However, they hadn’t seen anything yet when the screams had already reached them.

The two women exchanged puzzled glances, then Li Yalin couldn’t wait any longer and started to move out: “Ling Mo…”

“Wait!” Xia Na snapped back to reality and grabbed her.

Li Yalin stopped immediately: “But…”

“Listen carefully.” Xia Na whispered from behind her.

“Listen…”

Li Yalin also quieted down and, mimicking Xia Na, leaned her head towards the edge of the crevice.

“Ah ah ah…”

The screams grew nearer. After two seconds, the two Female Zombies looked at each other again.

“What is that?” Li Yalin asked.

Xia Na thought for a moment and replied: “Monster, maybe…”

“And what is this now…” Li Yalin couldn’t think of the right words and asked vaguely.

Luckily, Xia Na immediately understood her, nodding: “It must be coming. But this noise… it seems bigger than I expected.”

“What… should we do?” Li Yalin seemed anxious.

“Wait.” Xia Na replied with a single word.

Yes, wait.

It wasn’t Ling Mo’s body in danger, so they couldn’t disrupt their plan because of this. Otherwise, Ling Mo’s efforts would be wasted…

Xia Na understood this, but Li Yalin didn’t quite get it.

However, Li Yalin, who didn’t understand much, knew one thing clearly: when in doubt, listen to Xia Na.

That was one of the “advantages” of being a zombie… Her thinking was very straightforward and pure.

So, when Xia Na said “wait,” they continued hiding in the crevice. At that moment, the passage suddenly echoed with the cries of a Zombie Puppet.

“Get ready!”

Ling Mo yelled.

He had fully unleashed the potential of the Zombie Puppet. Despite dragging a “Giant Face”, he was running faster than before, which said a lot. And the “Giant Face,” through continuous high-speed impacts and friction, cooperated with Ling Mo’s actions vigorously… Its cries were incessant and increasingly piercing. 𝖗𝙖₦ọʙĚꞩ

Stimulated by the screams, the Monsters swarmed ashore and relentlessly followed Ling Mo.

At first glance, it looked as if Ling Mo was leading a group of Monsters on an outing… but the leader, Ling Mo, felt anything but pleasant. Instead, he felt his body reaching its limits…

“Just hold on a bit longer, just a bit longer!” Ling Mo squeezed his palm, letting blood flow. As the virus in his body stirred, his lost strength gradually returned, but this desperate measure might not last long…

“I’ve arrived!” Ling Mo shouted again.

He didn’t know where Xia Na and the others were hiding… But now, Xia Na’s actions seemed very foresighted.

If he knew their location, he might hesitate in his actions… Additionally, if he knew where Xia Na and the others were, the swarm of Monsters might discover them as well.

So, while looking around, Ling Mo also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it was safe…

With so many Monsters led away, he didn’t want to put Xia Na and the others in danger…

“Here they come.” Xia Na whispered.

Li Yalin listened for a while and said, “This isn’t what we saw before.”

“Yes, new Monsters,” Xia Na confirmed, “But since they can live here, they must belong to the same series as the previous ones… Shush!”

She suddenly covered Li Yalin’s mouth and pulled her backward.

Just a second later, an extremely piercing scream was heard nearby, followed by a roar: “There are more inside! Be careful!”

As the scream faded, a wave of cries approached and then receded…

After about ten seconds, Xia Na carefully let go.

“Alright, we can go in now. Ling-Ge seems to have led most of the Monsters away. Even if there are some left inside, there shouldn’t be many. But we still need to be cautious… it would be best to find out where their nest is,” Xia Na said. With Ling Mo around, those Monsters wouldn’t return anytime soon, so they didn’t have to worry about being caught. But to relieve Ling Mo of pressure, they needed to act quickly.

“Let’s go!” Xia Na grabbed Li Yalin, ready to move out.

“Xia Na…” Li Yalin suddenly stopped.

“Senior Sister, what’s wrong? Let’s go…” Xia Na turned around unexpectedly.

But this turn made her heart skip a beat.

Li Yalin’s usually seductive face was devoid of its usual flirtatious smile. Instead, she looked serious, even a bit puzzled…

“What… what’s wrong?” Xia Na became somewhat uneasy. It was indeed unsettling when someone familiar suddenly changed their demeanor. If only Black Na were here, she wouldn’t feel anything was wrong, but Nana was also inside her body.

Li Yalin pursed her lips and suddenly asked, “Xia Na, do you know something? Something you haven’t told Ling Mo?”

“Ah?”

“Is there something you know, but you haven’t told Ling Mo?” Li Yalin struggled to articulate.

But before Xia Na could question her, Li Yalin pointed towards her chest: “There’s something strange here…”

“What does that have to do with my breasts…” Xia Na widened her eyes.

She knew her combat effectiveness was not strong, something Ling Mo was well aware of!

However, the usually frivolous Senior Sister was giving her an unusual vibe at this moment.

So when she retorted, she felt a bit unsure…

Indeed, Li Yalin shook her head and said, “I mean… your heartbeat…”

“That…”

Xia Na instinctively touched her chest… She bit her lip as she looked at Li Yalin, her expression becoming peculiar.

“What is it?” Li Yalin pressed on.

She wasn’t particularly interested in what Xia Na was hiding, but she was very curious about what had caused Xia Na’s unusual behavior.

“This…” Xia Na found it difficult.

She hesitated for a while before slowly saying, “It’s not that I want to hide it… I just don’t know how to say it…”

“When you came down, you must have seen something we didn’t, right?” Li Yalin suddenly realized.

If there was something they didn’t know, it would be what happened during the time Xia Na was acting alone…

Senior Sister might be slow, but she could still figure out such simple matters.

And Xia Na nodded, saying, “Here… I saw someone…”

“Who?”

“Ling-Ge.”

“What?!” Li Yalin’s eyes widened.

…

As Ling Mo continued to run, controlling the Zombie Puppet, he had already discarded the “Giant Face”.

After being tossed around by him, the already half-dead “Giant Face” had breathed its last, its cries coming to an abrupt end.

There was no longer any use for a useless decoy, but before discarding it, Ling Mo still braced himself and wiped his hand across its wound.

This touch instantly gave him a very strange sensation… as if he had casually grabbed a dozen ants and let them burrow into an open wound. But after the discomfort, a burning sensation spread from his palm throughout his body…

“Damn, will I mutate? Never mind, as long as it gives me a boost…”

After running nearly a hundred meters, Ling Mo finally turned a corner.

And just thirty meters after he turned, a concrete passage appeared.

“Ah!”

Ling Mo also roared lowly, then sped into the passage.

Almost as he rushed out of the concrete passage and held his breath on the other end, the sound of a tidal movement came from behind…
