As soon as he saw the corpse of the variant zombie fall to the ground, Ye Lian rushed over and scooped out its brains gelatinous contents with one swift motion.

  At the speed at which Ye Lians hands were moving now, she could even manage to not get a single drop of blood on her as she dug out the brain gel. It wasnt until after she let go that the variant zombies occipital lobe, which had been hollowed out into a large hole, slowly began to seep out a mixture of red and white fluids.

  What surprised Ling Mo was that the brain gel of the variant zombie was completely different from that of an ordinary zombie. The brain gel of an ordinary zombie was only slightly pink, but this piece of gel extracted from the variant zombies brain was completely covered with red veins, looking like a beautiful red gemstone at first glance.

  After giving Ye Lian a slight wait command, Ling Mo took the gel from her hand and carefully examined it in front of his eyes.

  Ling Mo had previously speculated that this gel should be a lesion infected with the virus, similar to a stone in the body, only softer. Probably because the lesion exists in the brain, it will make the infected person lose their sanity and become a zombie.

  And devouring the lesions, it makes the virus in Ye Lians body more pure, and the influence of the virus will also deepen gradually. This is probably a way to fight poison with poison...

  As soon as it was put under his nose, a very faint but extremely pungent smell suddenly rushed in, causing Ling Mo to immediately furrow his brow and almost directly being choked unconscious. However, this thing that normal people couldnt tolerate was the most delicious thing in Ye Lians eyes.

  The purity of the virus in this gel is absolutely much higher than that of ordinary zombies. Considering what had happened before, Ling Mo decided to wait until they found a suitable place to rest before letting Ye Lian consume the gel. Otherwise, she would faint on the spot, and even Ling Mo would lose his ability to act, and at that time, even an ordinary zombie could finish him off.

  After passing by the bodies of the mutated zombies, Ling Mo furrowed his brow and stepped into this workroom that was almost no different from a slaughterhouse. Ye Lian was left outside by him to prevent the smell of fresh blood from attracting the zombies.

  The floor was like it had a layer of flesh stuck to it, and the feeling of stepping on it was somewhat strange. A strong stench of rotting flesh made ones brain ache.

  Just thinking that Wang Cen might be among the flesh and bones, Ling Mo couldnt help but want to drag back the corpse of that mutated zombie from earlier and beat it up again.

  There were many finished or semi-finished craft knives and swords in the workroom, but none of them was what Ling Mo wanted. He rummaged through it for a while before finding a box from under a sleeve stained with blood.

  As soon as the box was opened, there were indeed several daggers and short knives. One pulled out, all of them had a cold light. The blades mouth looked very sharp, and the quality was quite good, much better than those clumsy kitchen knives, and more convenient to carry.

  After carefully trying out the feel of them, Ling Mo chose a short knife and hung it at his waist, and also picked out a handy dagger. With these two things, they should be able to help out a bit on the way to the main city district...

  Although Ye Lian was strong, as he walked towards the city area, the number of zombies he encountered increased, and relying solely on Ye Lian was fundamentally not feasible.

  Moreover, because he is with Ye Lian, Ling Mo always has a subtle mentality. He hopes to be stronger than Ye Lian, rather than relying on Ye Lians lingering vitality, so that when Ye Lian regains his sanity one day, he can stand up straight and face Ye Lian...

  After establishing a spiritual connection with Ye Lian, he can evolve together with Ye Lian, which just gave Ling Mo an opportunity to become stronger. But its not enough to just evolve together, as a variant zombie, Ye Lians physical strength is much higher than Ling Mos, while Ling Mos advantage lies in learning and constantly exploring combat skills.

  These days, in the process of fighting alongside Ye Lian, Ling Mo has indeed learned a lot from actual combat. This can be seen from his fight with the variant zombie just now.

  But its still not enough... Ling Mo walked out of the workroom and looked at Ye Lians back with a complex gaze.

  It has been confirmed that there are indeed variants of zombies like Ye Lian, and from Ye Lians astonishing growth rate alone, it can be seen that it wont be long before encountering something even stronger than the variant zombies. Especially in the densely populated city areas, the number of variant zombies is probably not small either... It seems that ones own strengthening speed is still not fast enough.

  "Hes gone."

  Having found nothing else in the store, Ling Mo took Ye Lian away. Although for Ye Lian, she received completely spiritual instructions from Ling Mo, but in Ling Mos eyes, she was still that pretty girl who would pout and talk to her unintentionally.

  But Ling Mo didnt know that just after they left, in a two-story small building across the street from the store, a slender white hand suddenly opened the thick curtains, and a pair of clear eyes looked through the narrow gap, watching Ling Mo and Ye Lian disappear at the intersection.

  "Whats wrong, Wang Lin?"

  A mans voice came from inside the house, asking in doubt.

  The girl called Wang Lin immediately dropped the curtain, turned her head to look at the somewhat dim interior of the house, and on a delicate face with clear contours, there was no expression, looking even more frail under insufficient light: "That mutated zombie has been killed, and the dagger inside has also been taken away, its still the best one."

  The man who was speaking stepped out of the shadows and asked in surprise: "Impossible! What method did you use?"

  "A head-on confrontation." Wang Dings expression also became somewhat complex, "Originally, considering that he was after all a relative of my family, I planned to find an appropriate method to deal with him. Unexpectedly, someone actually dared to confront the mutated zombie head-on... When they arrived, I noticed them, one was a girl who didnt have much combat power, another seemed somewhat familiar but couldnt recall who it was, and looked like there was nothing special about him..."

  "How formidable! We thought of so many ways, but didnt expect to be preempted by someone." The man showed an extremely shocked expression, but more was depression.

  At this time, Wang Lin suddenly hummed in great dissatisfaction: "The key is that knife! That was made by my own hands, and it was actually taken away by him! If not for that knife, I wouldnt have run back specially."

  "Its already been taken away, so lets just forget about it..." The man said with a hint of resignation after being stunned for a moment.

  Wang Lins eyes flashed with anger: "No way! I spent half a year making it, why should he take it away? Lets go after him right now!"

  "Dont look for trouble..."

  "Youre so timid and afraid of trouble! Anyway, dont let me see him again, or Ill make sure he gets it good! He actually took my stuff away, a thief!"

  "Yes, youre right..." The man echoed with a headache and suddenly asked carefully, "The knife is gone now, what to do? Can only go to your cousins store and take a look... also see if there are any survivors in their family..."

  "Id be better off if they all died!" Wang Lins face showed a hint of disgust, and he muttered discontentedly.

  But after a moment of silence, she nodded reluctantly: "No choice, that family has the true transmission of my grandfather, and their knives are not bad either. Lets go take a look. If I didnt only know how to use knives, I wouldnt bother going... Speaking of which, that man from just now, the more I think about it, the more he seems familiar..."

  "This small place, you cant even see it if you lower your head and raise it again. Its not a big deal even if youve seen it before. Forget about it, make preparations early and go to your cousins house instead."

  Compared to Wang Lins coldness, the man was extremely excited. Looking at the mans reaction, Wang Lin just hummed: "I really hope they all die! Especially that one just now, who actually took my knife, wishing you an early death and rebirth!"

  At this time, Ling Mo, who was rushing to the temporary landing point, suddenly felt a numbness on his scalp, and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet.

  He hastily turned around, but saw nothing, only a few corpses of zombies that had just been knocked down.

  "Whats going on, an illusion?"

  Ling Mo looked around suspiciously, finally shook his head helplessly, and turned to look at Ye Lian again, then hastily left with her.
