Chapter 1129: Dont Forget the User Manual When Getting a Girlfriend
After arriving at the granary, Ling Mo put away the master ball. No matter what its true function was, at least for now, it wouldnât be dormant for too long this time. The answer could wait until laterâŠ
Jumping down from Xiao Baiâs back, Ling Mo patted its head and had it stand guard outside, while he walked into the granary himself.
âSorry, everyone⊠Letting you rest is only part of my intention⊠But⊠the other purpose, I have to keep it a secret from you.â Ling Mo thought to himself.
What he had just told Mu Chen and the others wasnât the whole truth. For example, his visit to Ye Lian and the others wasnât just to check on them, but for another, even more important reasonâŠ
After this battle, the atmosphere inside the granary was much more relaxed than before. But compared to other, more normal places, it was still chilling. At this moment, the main passage leading to the granary had been completely cleared, and the Spider Silk that blocked the view had all been pushed aside, piled up layer upon layer like gray-white fishing nets.
Spider corpses could be seen everywhere on the ground, probably dealt with by Ye Lian and the others during the cleanup. With this, even if there were still some Spiders hiding in the granary, their numbers wouldnât be too many. Afterward, as long as they left a warning for the teams transporting grain, there shouldnât be any problems.
âXia Na, how far have you gotten?â Ling Mo walked along the main passage, asking through the psychic link.
After a pause, Xia Naâs voice sounded in his mind: âWeâre almost done. Weâve dug out all the virus gel from the Zombiesâ brains. Hmm⊠Even though theyâre synthetic, the gel looks about the same as in other ZombiesâŠâ
After a bit of small talk, her tone suddenly became serious as she asked, âLing-Ge, are you sure you want to do that kind of thing now? Iâm a little nervousâŠâ
âYeah, Iâm sure⊠Wait, why does this conversation sound a bit weird⊠Forget it, letâs get back to business.â Ling Mo continued, âI think youâve probably noticed by now⊠These Zombies living in the wild are all digging into their own evolution potential. And no matter which direction theyâre developing, once we encounter them, thereâs a high chance weâll be marked as top prey⊠This time it was me, but what if next time itâs youâŠâ
Xia Na was silent for a moment before she spoke: âLing-GeâŠâ
âIâm not overthinking it. The three of you are all special, and so are Black Silk and Yu Shiran. Not to mention, thereâs stillâŠâ Ling Mo originally wanted to say there was still a Spider Queen watching him, and compared to the Progenitor Zombies here, that Queen was obviously much harder to deal with⊠But the words stuck in his throat, and he changed the subject, âAnyway, once the other side decides weâre weaker than it is, weâll definitely be attacked. Living in this world means taking risks, but personally, I still hope to improve our survival rate as much as possible before we run into danger againâŠâ
âMmâŠâ
Ling Mo waited for a while, but Xia Na didnât say anything, so he could only give a wry smile and say, âDo you feel⊠that what Iâm saying is too conservative and boring for Zombies who are instinctively obsessed with blood and slaughter? But⊠even so, I canât put it any other way, IâŠâ
âI know.â Xia Na suddenly cut in, âYouâre afraid of dying, because youâre worried that if you die, the broken psychic link will affect us. Youâre also afraid weâll die, because even if we donât care ourselves, you still care, and you care very, very much⊠I know all of this. Senior Sister and Ye Lian might not know how to express it, but they know too. You know I never lie.â
Ling Mo fell silent⊠Although Xia Naâs tone didnât reveal any emotion, after a moment, a faint smile still crept onto Ling Moâs lips. But just then, another voice suddenly popped up-
âHuh, care about what?â
âShit!â Ling Mo was startled, and even his psychic fluctuation spiked for a moment. âBlack Silk! Enough already! Popping into peopleâs heads and eavesdropping on their conversations anytime, anywhere, isnât that a bit too shameless?!â
âShameless? Whatâs that? Can you eat it?â Black Silk asked, and before Ling Mo could explode, it giggled and said, âAlright, alright, donât get mad yet. I just wanted to ask⊠when youâre having these embarrassing meetingsâŠâ
âThereâs no such meeting.â
ââŠIs there a spot for me?â
âNo.â
Black Silkâs tone immediately turned aggrieved: âMaster, youâre so heartlessâŠâ
âHm? Black Silk, she⊠whatâs wrong?â
âWho? Whoâs heartless?â
Two more voices suddenly chimed in, and Ling Mo was stunned again. Then he asked helplessly, âHow did Ye Lian and Senior Sister get in on thisâŠâ
âHeheâŠâ Black Silk said smugly, âDid you forget I can act as the psychic transmission hub? Just letting them connect together is no problem at all.â
âReally? Then how long can you keep the connection?â
At Ling Moâs question, Black Silk immediately wilted. âAbout⊠one secondâŠâ
âThen⊠whatâs the point!â
Ling Mo shouted as he strode into the warehouse in front of him. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by Ye Lian and the others standing in a row⊠along with Black Silk and Yu Shiran⊠đáŒĆÉ”đÎá¶
ââŠAlright, I admit, it does have some meaning.â After a pause of less than a second, Ling Mo couldnât help but laugh and said.
âDid you find a suitable place?â Ling Mo continued to ask.
Li Yalin walked over and closed the warehouse door, then twisted on a flashlight and walked ahead of Ling Mo. âYes, itâs just up ahead. We found a small room thatâs almost been completely eaten out, and all the surrounding rooms are blocked off by sacks of rice. In a place like this, sound definitely wonât get out. Itâs perfect for doing all sorts of shady thingsâŠâ
âAlthough it really is shady⊠the way you say it sounds so ambiguousâŠâ Ling Mo followed behind and said, âAnyway, Iâve set aside an indefinite amount of time⊠because I donât know how long this will take⊠I donât even know if itâll succeedâŠâ
At his words, Ye Lian and the others couldnât help but exchange glances. Then Xia Na spoke up: âThe only one who canât guarantee it is Ye Lian⊠Breaking through further from King, I think, might be a huge critical point. I donât know if youâve noticed, Ling-Ge, but almost all the Zombies weâve encountered have stalled at this step, or chose to become Progenitor at this stage. But Ye Lian canât become a Progenitor; she might be the only one⊠the only Zombie to keep evolving step by step like thisâŠâ
âI knowâŠâ Ling Mo nodded and replied.
âAs for me and Senior Sister, we donât know what will happen when we evolve further⊠but at least, weâll do our best to succeed. Black Silk and Shiran are a bit special⊠but fools are hard to kill.â Xia Na said.
âHey, you were going for a touching and sentimental tone just now, so why did you suddenly start mocking us when you got to us!â Black Silk protested in a low voice.
Ling Mo looked at Ye Lian and asked softly, âWhat do you think?â
âI⊠Iâll listen to youâŠâ Ye Lian lowered her head and looked at her toes, answering in a quiet voice.
Ling Mo couldnât help but glance at her pocket⊠This girl, why canât he figure her out? As expected, whether itâs human or Zombie, women are always impossible to understand!
âWhen they become girlfriends, why isnât there some kind of user manualâŠâ Ling Mo thought with a headache⊠But now wasnât the time to dwell on that. As they got closer to that small room, Ling Mo could clearly feel that all the Zombies and mutation creatures seemed to suddenly become seriousâŠ
It seemed just as Xia Na said, even though their current behavior and reactions were all different, they⊠all knew Ling Mo took this matter seriously⊠and so they would take it seriously too⊠This was how Zombies expressed that they caredâŠ
âEven if I canât make them reliable, at least they believe Iâm reliable, and thatâs enoughâŠâ Ling Mo thought to himself. Even if this idea was a bit self-comforting, Ling Mo still couldnât help but smileâŠ
Meanwhile, in another granary.
A man was standing at the window, anxiously smoking a cigarette.
He was the captain of this team, and at this moment he was feeling a bit uneasy.
They had only just arrived here, so logically it shouldnât be time to get impatient yet⊠But what was making the captain uncomfortable wasnât that. In fact, what was troubling him, even making him feel a bit creeped out, was his Team MembersâŠ
After clearing out a place to stay, several Team Members had started acting⊠strange. He couldnât say exactly what was strange, but in these people, he saw a familiar shadowâŠ
âHooâŠâ The captain took a hard drag on his cigarette, then forcefully blew out the smoke. âAm I just overthinking it? Maybe Iâm just nervous because Iâm thinking about Ling Mo? I wonder when heâll get here⊠On one hand, Iâm looking forward to him coming soon so I can face him, but on the other, it makes me a bit nervous⊠People really are contradictoryâŠâ
The captain was mocking himself when he suddenly sensed something and looked down, just in time to see a woman downstairs. The woman was looking up at him, her expressionless face seeming to faintly reveal an indescribable auraâŠ
ââŠâ The captain stared at her for a while, then let out a long breath, dropped the cigarette butt, and turned away from the window. As he turned, he muttered in a low voice, âSo weird⊠Now I really do hope Ling Mo gets here soon.â
