Chapter 1013: Fool is Actually a Nickname
In the rush, Ling Mo only caught a vague glimpse of a silhouette, but he was certain it wasnāt Xia Na or Li Yalinā¦
Before he could say anything, the figure grabbed him and dragged him deeper into the concrete tunnel.
The āGiant Faceā was hot on their heels, but to Ling Moās surprise, this shadowy figure was incredibly fastā¦ And as they moved, Ling Mo gradually noticed a layer of black fog forming around themā¦
Could it beā¦ a black fog monster?!
Ling Mo was instantly shocked. He peered through the gaps in the fog at the figure, shaking his drowsy head vigorously. It seemed his body had reached its limit, causing his vision to blurā¦
āNo, itās not just my eyesā¦ā Ling Mo quickly realized.
The black fog seemed to be āsecretingā from the pores of this figure, making it appear shrouded in a dark, shadowy mist no matter how he lookedā¦
āWhoosh!ā
After sprinting nearly two hundred meters, the figure finally stopped in a corner, pressing Ling Moās Zombie Puppet against the wall. As the sound of rushing footsteps swept past them, Ling Mo finally exhaled a sigh of relief, and the figure released him.
When the figure looked at him, Ling Moās heart skipped a beat.
Blood-red, lidless eyesā¦ They were identical to the ones he had seen in the black fog. Witnessing them up close was even more terrifyingā¦ These eyes seemed to have a 360-degree view, as if several people were staring at you from different anglesā¦ Whatever you planned to do, any subtle change in expression, nothing escaped those eyesā¦
āWho are you?ā Ling Mo quickly regained his composure and asked with a frown.
He didnāt intend to hide his ability to speakā¦ Since this figure helped him escape and even gestured to him, it indicated that this black fog monster not only knew something about him but also possessed considerable intelligenceā¦ The question now was, friend or foe?
āGah gahā¦ā The figure waved its arms, emitting a strange sound.
Seeing no reaction from Ling Mo, it repeated, āGah gah gahā¦ā
āLike I could understand thatā¦ But if you respond, it means you can understand me, right?ā Ling Mo probed.
To his surprise, the black fog monster suddenly became anxious. It pointed to its mouth and let out a series of frantic āgah gahā sounds.
āAre you trying to sayā¦ you canāt speak?ā Ling Mo thought for a moment, frowning, and asked.
āGah gah!ā The black fog monster nodded vigorously.
Ling Mo stared at it for a couple of moments, then suddenly reached out his hand towards it.
As his fingers began to penetrate the ink-like black fog, the creature abruptly grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
The Zombie Puppet was completely powerless to resist now; after that burst of energy, its body had utterly collapsed. Yet, strangely, this body didnāt instinctively sever the psychic link like previous Zombie Puppets did when pushed to their limits. Ling Mo pondered for a moment, suspecting it had something to do with the peculiar conditions underground. Although his psychic power was restricted here, his localized abilities were enhanced. This was clearly an unexpected boon for Ling Mo.
āWhat are you trying to do?ā The Zombie Puppetās voice was raspy, but the words were still discernible.
The creature ignored him, dragging him deeper into the space.
Ling Mo then realized they were hiding in that previously spacious areaā¦
After a short distance, Ling Mo felt something unusual beneath the silt. He wobbled and glanced down, shocked to find some half-buried bones in the mudā¦ In some places, the muddy water was stained with strange colors, triggering unsettling associations in Ling Moās mind, causing his stomach to churn. Of course, it was his main body that was reactingā¦ The Zombie Puppet, even if it did, wouldnāt feel it given its current stateā¦ į¹š¶šĪæįÄį¹¤
āHeyā¦ā
The creature abruptly turned its head, glaring at him with those fierce eyes, and gestured for silence.
āBlack Silk?ā Ling Mo asked tentatively.
The creature continued to stare at himā¦ but after a second, it turned away and kept moving forward.
āDamnā¦ā
What kind of situation was thisā¦ A Monster leading him through such a place, dragging him alongā¦ Judging by the size and feel of the hand, this Monster was likely female, but the thought of holding hands with a creature shrouded in black smoke made Ling Mo shiver.
The worst part was, he had no idea what the creature intended, nor did he have any autonomyā¦
āForget itā¦ At least the task of delaying the Giant Face is done. Letās seeā¦ If it turns out to be hostile, I can sever the psychic link at any timeā¦ā Ling Mo thought to himself.
Just then, the black fog monster suddenly stopped, then pointed ahead.
āWant me to look?ā Ling Mo speculated on its intent as he glanced in that direction.
āBoomā¦ā
A muffled sound suddenly echoed, startling Ling Mo. Though not particularly loud, in such a silent and eerie place, it was akin to a thunderclapā¦
The black fog monster seemed unfazed, tugging Ling Mo along as they slowly approached the direction from which the sound emanatedā¦
āLing Mo?ā Yuwen Xuan called out again.
Ling Mo snapped back to reality, pulling Yu Shiran along, āLetās go first.ā
The situation with the zombie puppet was reaching a critical point, but Xia Na and the others couldnāt be neglected eitherā¦ Plus, the inexplicable monster was nothing compared to Xia Na and her group. Ling Mo had a vague suspicion in his mind, hoping to find an opportunity to verify it soonā¦
If his guess was correct, thenā¦
āWellā¦ if the monster gets here first, weāll try to delay it. Soā¦ try to make it back in two minutesā¦ no, one and a half minutes,ā Yuwen Xuan said, ruffling his hair.
Xu Shuhan nodded, āOkayā¦ā
This was already a very optimistic estimateā¦ Facing a horde of monsters in such a narrow environment without any firearms, promising one and a half minutes was already pushing their limits.
If it were just Yuwen Xuan, he might extend that time by another twenty seconds, but the outcome would beā¦ life or death.
Xu Shuhan thought similarly; if she were alone, she might also hold out a bit longerā¦
In fact, as she nodded, a thought popped into her head. Why agree? She was only here to helpā¦ But she quickly realized this was fear magnified. Although thatās how it seemed, human relationships arenāt always defined by simple worthā¦
āNoā¦,ā Xu Shuhan suddenly shook her head, āIām a zombie nowā¦ so itās humans and zombiesā¦ā
While she was lost in thought, Ling Mo had already spoken, āYou sounded quite impressive saying thatā¦ if only your appearance didnāt ruin the moodā¦ā
āHahaā¦ hurry up!ā Yuwen Xuan urged, adding, āWatch out for the Progenitorā¦ā
In fact, as soon as he finished speaking, Ling Mo had already turned with Yu Shiranā¦
āThe black fog has thinned a lot here, fool. Can you find all the tunnel entrances? Concrete tunnelsā¦ side pathsā¦ anything,ā Ling Mo said anxiously as he ran.
āIāll tryā¦ and can you stop calling me a fool?ā Yu Shiran replied.
āItās a nicknameā¦ā
āDonāt assume a twelve-year-old knows nothing, okayā¦ Ah, ahead! And to the left!ā
The two quickly searched along the passage, while the dense sound of approaching monsters echoed relentlessly within.
One minute and thirty secondsā¦ where exactly was the entrance to the pool?
