Ten minutes have passed...
It was unclear whether it was a psychological effect or if he had actually been affected, but Ling Mo always felt that his blood was boiling, and his heart seemed to be jumping out of his throat. However, strangely, he remained extremely clear-headed, and nothing else changed apart from this.
Ling Mo's mind was desperately thinking of a countermeasure, he didn't know if he would become like Lu Xin or not, and he also didn't know if he would become a real zombie.
It's not until the very end that Ling Mo doesn't want to give up. At this moment, he also deeply understands Xiang Na's feelings at that time, that kind of despair that slowly rises to the surface!
But Ling Mo didn't regret it! If he hadn't released his desire for Ye Lian just now, he might have become a madman by now. The extreme pleasure and longing that washed over one's body and soul at the same time could easily drive someone crazy.
But now... even if I become a zombie, at least before that, I've solved the problem of my first kiss, and it's with Ye Lian!
Do you want to be like Shana and swallow some virus gel first? Or a more direct method is to drink some zombie blood...
Maybe in the end I'll be like Shana, leaving behind a shred of sanity...
Thinking of this, Ling Mo shifted his attention to the plastic bag that he had thrown aside. There were still some residual virus gel inside, although not much.
Even in a state of complete rationality and wakefulness, eating such things would make even Ling Mo, who had been living with zombies day and night, feel extremely psychologically pressured.
"This is extracted from the brain of a variant zombie... Just this small amount of toxicity is probably more than the amount of virus contained in an ordinary zombie's body."
But between thoroughly becoming a zombie and retaining a thread of sanity, Ling Mo's heart was gradually tilting towards the latter. He furrowed his brow, stretched out his hand, and slowly picked up this plastic bag.
Just as he brought the plastic bag in front of his eyes, a pungent smell drilled out from inside, making Ling Mo's temples ache. However, he was overjoyed instead of angry, and his originally heavy mood relaxed slightly. Since he still felt extremely disgusted by this viral gel, it meant that he hadn't started to mutate yet.
The gel's smell was so pungent that Ling Mo suspected he would vomit everything in his stomach the moment he opened his mouth to eat it. So he chose to wait. As soon as signs of mutation appeared, he would swallow this bit of residue. Having some hope was better than giving up completely...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The heartbeat sounded like a loud noise in Ling Mo's ears, and he could also feel his body becoming powerless, just like a drunk person.
Twenty minutes... It should be soon, Shana also started mutating around this time point.
Ling Mo took a deep breath in his heart, nervously clenched the plastic bag in his hand. As long as there was any sign, he would eat it! It's better to take a risk than wait for death!
Although he had survived in the doomsday for so long, Ling Mo was still not willing to die at his core. He wanted to live on! But once this crisis appeared before him, he also didn't lack the courage to face it.
What's most important is that he has been with zombies day and night, so towards zombies, he doesn't have that kind of deep-seated fear.
Turning into a zombie is to erase the wisdom of a living person and turn him into a monster that only knows how to kill. This is even more terrifying than death, but it's still much better than letting him die immediately.
But this wait is just an hour!
But Ling Mo didn't show any signs of mutation, and his heartbeat even slowed down gradually, the lost strength also slowly returned to his body.
What's going on? Does saliva not transmit the disease?
Ling Mo, who had been apathetic and unenthusiastic, suddenly became extremely excited upon realizing this problem!
Not transmitted through saliva! Does that mean it won't be transmitted through... Ling Mo's eyes unconsciously glanced at Ye Lian's body, especially those long legs that were pressed together.
Don't spread it! Don't spread it!
Ling Mo suddenly jumped up, if he wasn't afraid of startling the zombies below, he would have laughed out loud three times! He had thought he was a goner for sure, but it turned out that saliva isn't contagious!
However, in the midst of his excitement, Ling Mo didn't notice that during the long hour of waiting, he had gradually lost that resistant expression towards the object inside the plastic bag. He hadn't even realized that the originally pungent smell had no effect on him anymore... and after confirming to himself that he wouldn't mutate, he also threw away the plastic bag onto the ground.
At the time of Ling Mo's silent laughter, Ye Lian's eyes had also returned to normal. When Ling Mo looked at her, she was staring tightly at him with a slightly dazed expression.
This made Ling Mo's heart suddenly "thud" as he immediately pounced over, grabbing Ye Lian's shoulder and shaking him vigorously: "Ye Lian?"
Ye Lian glanced at Ling Mo, suddenly stretched out her hand and touched Ling Mo's hand. Then, she slightly furrowed her brow, seemingly a bit dazed as she looked at her own hand.
This action has become quite humanized, Ling Mo's heart suddenly rose, staring blankly at Ye Lian, but couldn't say a word.
He usually just maintained the spiritual connection between Ye Lian, and did not deliberately control Ye Lian's actions. Therefore, Ye Lian's current actions are all from herself! Indeed, with Ye Lian's continuous evolution, her rationality will also be gradually restored!
Although Ye Lian didn't seem to have the intention of speaking, Ling Mo's excitement gradually subsided. He knew clearly in his heart that Ye Lian's recovery wouldn't be achieved overnight, and being able to reach this extent was already quite good.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, Ye Lian regained her expressionless demeanor after a brief moment of confusion. However, when she looked at Ling Mo, her eyes were no longer devoid of emotion as before, but instead had a hint... of dependence!
Whether it's because of the spiritual connection between them or for some other reason, Ye Lian's view of Ling Mo has undergone a subtle change!
But knowing that Ye Lian's saliva wouldn't harm him, Ling Mo still couldn't help but hold her tightly and pecked her lips again.
"I'm probably the first human to have a zombie as a relative, haha!"
The spiritual connection between Ye Lian and Ling Mo was very close, at this time even if he made such an intimate move towards Ye Lian, Ye Lian didn't have any resistance, of course, nor did she have any reaction.
Her humanization is only reflected in the changes of Ling Mo's eyes, as for other things... anyway, Ling Mo is not so anxious, rice is to be eaten one mouthful at a time, and roads are walked out step by step.
At least now I can be at ease and have more intimate contact with Ye Lian! As long as I'm careful not to get any blood on me, that's all... Thinking of this, Ling Mo suddenly revealed a faintly awkward smile.
Can't get blood on it? Screw that!
