Chapter 1133: The word appointment really has deep meaning
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Na suddenly closed her eyes and collapsed powerlessly toward Ling Mo.
Ling Mo held Li Yalin in one arm, with Xia Na leaning against his chest, and a still-buzzing Scythe stuck in the ground beside himâŠ
As for just nowâŠ
Was Xia Naâs behavior purely instinctive, orâŠ
Ling Mo glanced down at the quiet Xia Na in his arms, his lips twitching slightly.
He decided not to think about itâŠ
After placing Li Yalin and Xia Na together, Ling Mo also carried Yu Shiran over. Just as he approached the Cocoon, he caught sight of a piece of clothing.
The edge of the garment peeked out from behind a pile of rice sacks, and as soon as Ling Mo saw it, it quickly shrank back with a âwhoosh,â as if sensing his gaze.
âYe LianâŠâ
Ye Lian hadnât appeared at all in the past hour.
King level⊠breaking through must be difficultâŠ
Ling Mo didnât even have a concept of what it would be like after the breakthroughâŠ
But when Ye Lian quietly hid herself, Ling Mo already knew that something must have silently changed within her. And this change had been accumulating day by day; today might just be a qualitative leapâŠ
Yet up to now, Ye Lian hadnât made a sound.
This made Ling Mo a bit anxiousâŠ
âThump!â
A silver sphere rolled over, followed closely by a figure.
Ling Mo sat down on the sphere, then turned his head to the side.
Ye Lian was sitting behind the pile of rice sacks, hugging her knees. Upon hearing the sound, she merely looked up at him.
âHey, beauty,â Ling Mo greeted.
Ye Lian lowered her head, saying nothing.
âWanna hang out?â Ling Mo asked again.
Ye Lian looked up at him once more, then suddenly smiled.
Though brief, Ling Mo was instantly stunned.
That smileâŠ
It was still a bit stiff, but already faintly revealed a trace of genuine joy!
Ye Lian and the othersâ usual smiles were actually just imitations of humans. Others might not notice the difference, but Ling Mo was keenly aware.
Moreover, at that very moment, Ye Lianâs psychic light cluster also fluctuated!
Just a trace! But it left Ling Mo dazed for over a minute, until Ye Lian spoke upâŠ
âWhat do you⊠want to hang out for?â Ye Lian asked softly.
âUhâŠâ Ling Mo still hadnât fully recovered.
âI was thinking⊠humans seem to have three kinds of appointments⊠promises, dates, hookupsâŠâ Ye Lian continued.
âThe last one barged in, didnât it⊠Girls shouldnât say things like that! If you must, at least phrase it differently⊠Ugh, why am I teaching you thisâŠâ Ling Mo was a bit flustered. đĂNĆđÄS
Ye Lian stared at him blankly for a while before slowly saying, âYouâre sitting on Black SilkâŠâ
âOhâŠâ Ling Mo patted the âsphereâ beneath him and said, âIt doesnât mind.â
After another moment of silence, Ling Mo finally asked, âYe Lian⊠howâs your evolution going?â
âI donât know eitherâŠâ Ye Lian thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up.
The instant she stood, Ling Mo suddenly felt his vision blur, as if Ye Lian had vanished before his eyes. But when he focused, he found Ye Lian still standing right in front of him.
âThis isâŠâ Ling Mo glanced down at the dust beneath her feet. âShe never left the ground, so I couldnât have been seeing things. The only explanation is⊠her eyes!â
The only thing that could have affected Ling Mo just now was Ye Lianâs eyes⊠and he had been looking directly into them.
âSo⊠has the Kaleidoscopeâs power grown stronger? Not only can she see othersâ movement trajectories, but now she can also conceal her own⊠But⊠did she break through?â Ling Mo wondered to himself.
After getting up, Ye Lian didnât make any further moves. She simply exhaled lightly, then glanced back at Ling Mo.
That look made Ling Mo freeze again.
That glance⊠was very complexâŠ
It seemed to surge with many emotions all at once, yet still felt cold and ruthlessâŠ
Her eyes were still red, but much darkerâŠ
Compared to a common zombie, the color of these eyes looked even more bloody.
As if countless drops of blood had condensed into a single point to form that colorâŠ
Zombie evolution is built upon raw flesh and blood.
And this is vividly reflected in the color of their eyes.
But it wasnât over yet; Ye Lian⊠was still changing.
She drew a Short Knife, and the nails on her other hand slowly began to lengthen. This wasnât like growing, but more like straightening bent fingers bit by bit. Ling Mo was a bit shocked, but he understood that a zombieâs body was vastly different from a humanâs. Not to mention just growing nails-if something suddenly sprouted from somewhere else, it would be perfectly normal.
When all five nails had become like curved blades, Ye Lian raised the knife and chopped at her own nails.
âClang!â
Sparks flew!
Ye Lian dropped the now-cracked Short Knife, but said nothing.
Ling Mo stared at her nails, suddenly struck by a thoughtâŠ
The past hour, Ye Lian seemed to have only been preparing⊠Her breakthrough seemed to be happening right nowâŠ
Why in front of him?
Why wait?
Ling Mo didnât have time to ask; at this moment, Ye Lian seemed to have shifted from her previous dazed and innocent state into a completely different one.
She looked like a zombie, but sometimes gave off another feelingâŠ
âWhat is it exactly? Ah⊠thatâs rightâŠâ Ling Mo suddenly realized, âJust like those Progenitors⊠They can instinctively emit a cruel aura, but at the same time, you can sense that theyâre very intelligentâŠâ
Those zombies that act purely on instinct are the lowest level. But those with extremely high Intelligence can use everything at their disposal to maximize their destructive power. Just like the Progenitor zombie they wiped out in the granary-it allied with the Human-headed Spider and destroyed the entire townâŠ
Those are the truly dangerous zombiesâŠ
âYe Lian breaking through in front of me-is she trying to⊠tell me this?â Ling Mo stared at Ye Lian, his feelings suddenly growing complicatedâŠ
Ye Lianâs meaning couldnât be clearer⊠If⊠Ling Mo felt threatened, he could interrupt her at any timeâŠ
Maybe that hour she spent preparing was to make this decision. But this decision concerned her future⊠and⊠her evolutionary instinctâŠ
Zombies have an intense desire for evolution, yet she⊠hinted this to Ling Mo. Plus, that earlier smileâŠ
Ling Mo couldnât help but look up and softly ask, âYe Lian, did you⊠remember something?â
Ye Lianâs movements suddenly stoppedâŠ
