Chapter 1045: Human Self-Propelled Rotating Cannon

“By the way, how’s Ling Mo?” Xu Shuhan asked as soon as she caught her breath.

The others quickly reacted, asking questions while looking over to where Ye Lian and the others were. During the retreat, the dazed Ling Mo had been brought up by them, and from the looks of it, Ling Mo still hadn’t regained consciousness.

Upon hearing the question, Xia Na turned her head and replied, “He just fell asleep…”

“Asleep?!”

Everyone had been worried, but upon hearing this, they were momentarily stunned.

He just fell asleep? That’s not right!

“Yeah, I wanted to ask him what happened, but as soon as he sat down, he fell asleep…” Xia Na said helplessly, stepping aside to make room. “See for yourselves.”

Everyone looked over in confusion… Sure enough, Ling Mo was lying there with his eyes closed, resting on Ye Lian and Li Yalin’s laps, looking quite peaceful in his sleep.

“Wow, a lap pillow!” After a moment of silence, Yuwen Xuan exclaimed.

“You’re focusing on the wrong thing!” Mu Chen glared at him, then asked Xia Na, “Can you confirm he’s okay?”

He wasn’t asking unnecessarily… Everyone had seen Ling Mo’s strange behavior to some extent. And the fact that he fell asleep right after coming up was indeed unusual…

“Ling Mo is the captain. We need to know his condition, and we need him to lead the upcoming missions…” Mu Chen added.

“Well… Ling-Ge’s breathing is steady, and there are no physical injuries, but his psychic power…” Xia Na glanced at Ling Mo, frowning slightly as if choosing her words carefully.

At this moment, Black Silk chimed in, “Psychic power… perhaps he’s undergoing some sort of transformation? Although he doesn’t show any signs of struggle, and his psychic activity isn’t obvious, the fact that he’s so calm after such exhaustion is precisely what’s abnormal…”

“Transformation?” Everyone looked puzzled. They understood Superpower enhancement, but what was transformation?

“Simply put, it’s the accumulation of quantity leading to a change in quality, or you could say it’s a variation, am I right?” Xia Na looked up.

Black Silk nodded, “Exactly. That’s what it means.”

Xia Na thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, “I get it… You’re saying Ling-Ge had already reached the brink of evolution before the battle but hadn’t broken through. And the accumulated energy, after being stimulated intensely, suddenly underwent a qualitative change?”

“That’s about it. Ling Mo’s psychic power is immense. If he could find a calm moment to undergo evolution, he might turn out quite differently. But today, he’s been under constant threat of death, and…” Black Silk intended to say, “And his psychic power has been maxed out,” but instead said, “And with all the pressures, it ended up like this.” 𝑅𝘢𝐍Ꝋ₿Ëş

“I don’t think it’s just a coincidence. The factors you mentioned might have just shortened the time for the transformation,” Xia Na remarked.

Black Silk pondered for a moment and surprisingly agreed, “That’s possible… There are too many factors in evolution and variation that can determine the outcome, but the direction remains unchanged. Maybe if Ling Mo doesn’t undergo variation today, he will tomorrow…”

“What will Ling Mo become?” Xu Shuhan asked eagerly after patiently listening to them.

“Well…” Black Silk and Xia Na exchanged glances and then shook their heads simultaneously, “We don’t know.”

Xia Na added, “Even for Ling-Ge, it’s an unknown. He probably didn’t expect to enter a state of variation under these circumstances…”

“How can you not know…” Gu Shuangshuang was getting anxious.

“Variations are based on one’s own condition, like snow wolves appearing on the snow line or polar bears living in the Arctic. They change fur color to adapt to their environment, and now creatures undergo variation to better survive,” Black Silk explained with a simple analogy, playing with its hair. “So, whatever variation Ling Mo undergoes, it’s a subconscious choice, an instinctual adjustment to his survival environment. If he thinks turning his lower body into a rotating cannon will help him survive, theoretically, that could happen…”

“No, no, that’s not theoretically possible!”

“And carrying such a ‘cannon,’ wouldn’t it attract more zombies…”

“A built-in decoy…”

“Stop it! I’m suddenly feeling very cold…”

Hearing a child-like voice speak so calmly about such matters made everyone’s scalp tingle.

“How long will Ling Mo sleep… or be in this variation?” Mu Chen coughed and raised another important question.

Ye Lian gently touched Ling Mo’s cheek and softly said, “I don’t know…”

Another “don’t know”!

“The exact time… unclear…” Ye Lian added, “Within a week…”

“I get it, this guy is like a cocoon now…” Yuwen Xuan concluded.

Since it’s a variation, taking a week seems quite reasonable. Besides, Skinny Monkey is also badly injured, making it difficult for him to fully recover in a short time. After some discussion, everyone decided to find a place to settle down temporarily and take some time to recuperate…

“Looking at the map here…” Yuwen Xuan spread out the map and said, “This place will be our next destination. The armory is over here… and the granary is over there. If we’re lucky, we might be able to secure both at the same time. So for our temporary camp during this period, we’ll choose this spot…” He pointed to the area between the two marked locations and then looked up to ask, “That’s my suggestion. What do you all think?”

Xia Na glanced at the map and nodded, “Let’s go with this. While Ling-Ge and the others are recovering, we can explore the surroundings. We’ve gained experience this time, so during the next exploration, we should also consider the presence of the Hellforged Monsters.”

“Absolutely…” Mu Chen leaned back and exhaled, “Plus, we need some rest too…”

“Yeah… living is exhausting,” Ye Kai stretched and remarked.

Yet, as they looked at the buildings below, a hint of relief appeared on everyone’s face… No matter what, they had survived once again…

Buzzing-

The helicopter swiftly flew over X City, heading directly towards the location marked on the map…
