Chapter 26: The Gradually Rotting Body

  Lu Xin showed a change, this result did not surprise Ling Mo, but he took away Xiana and made threatening gestures, clearly indicating that he still had rationality.

  This made Ling Mo extremely interested. To know that his greatest wish was for Ye Lian to recover her sanity as soon as possible, but except for the last time after evolution, Ye Lian showed a hint of producing self-awareness and then there was no further change.

  This made Ling Mo feel somewhat disheartened, although he knew it wasnt a problem that could be solved overnight. He immediately set out to start hunting for variant zombies, hoping to promote Ye Lians evolution and let her recover her true thoughts as soon as possible.

  But Lu Xins unusual behavior made Ling Mo think that he might get some new clues from Lu Xin!

  As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Ling Mo doesnt want to give up, let alone the fact that Xiana was taken away by Lu Xin. This scumbag even threatened him by name. To Ling Mo, the threat posed by a single mutated zombie was negligible. Lu Xin thought that just because he had transformed from a mouse into a sick cat, he could take revenge on him, but this was too naive.

  "Brother Ling! Please, weve fought side by side all this way and have a bond, please..." Liu Yu Hao begged again and again, his expression growing more and more anxious.

  "Where are they?" Ling Mo made up his mind and asked.

  Liu Yuhao was overjoyed and hastily pulled Ling Mo to run downstairs: "Its in the boys dormitory building! Hurry up, Im afraid that Lu Xin will suddenly lose his mind, and then Xia Na will be done for!"

  "This is it!" Ling Mos scalp tightened and he quickly accelerated his pace. Ye Lian naturally followed closely behind him under his control.

  Liu Yuhao rushed to save people, despite being exhausted, but his running speed was not slow. Ling Mo and Ye Lian followed behind him with ease, while Wang Cheng was already panting heavily. If it werent for the sake of survival, he would have collapsed by now. Ironically, the people in front didnt seem to intend to stop and wait for him...

  When Wang Cheng looked at the backs of the three people in front of him, his eyes were somewhat unfriendly, but he quickly covered up this discordant note.

  On the road to the boys dormitory, several zombies also appeared, all attracted by the fresh corpses on the ground. Ling Mo also made an unexpected discovery, these ordinary zombies, although they do not attack their own kind, but when a zombie corpse appears, they will devour it...

  These few zombies that appeared in front of the boys dormitory were surrounded by several zombie corpses on the ground, eating with relish. If it werent for the fact that the heads of the corpses were still intact, with a glance, one could see the blood-red eyes, Ling Mo wouldnt have dared to believe his own eyes that what he saw was real.

  So thats how it is...... But wont this lead to even more variations of zombies?! Even the zombies as a whole will slowly evolve and become stronger!

  Although their evolutionary speed is far from comparable to that of the variant zombies produced by mutual slaughter in a closed environment, the advantages of this overall slow evolution will also gradually emerge.

  "Damn it!" Ling Mo cursed silently in his heart, while wielding the short knife to meet the few zombies that were rushing towards him. With the help of his puppeteering skills and his increasingly proficient attacking techniques, these few zombies were almost instantly knocked down in a split second.

  I suppose these few zombie corpses will also attract their kind to feed on them... but as a survivor, who has the time and energy to deal with corpses? The slow evolution of the zombie horde is simply unstoppable.

  "Who would have thought zombies eat zombies too!"

  Ling Mo looked up again at the zombie corpse that had been gnawed to pieces and frowned, saying.

  Liu Yuhao looked up at Ling Mo with some confusion and said matter-of-factly, "Of course they ate it, how did you just find out, Brother Ling?"

  Ling Mo shut his mouth in dismay. Liu Yu and the others had always lived among the zombies, so they knew that this was not unusual, but Ling Mo had previously been far away from the zombies, and even when searching for food, he would control the zombies occasionally. Even if he killed a zombie, he wouldnt go back to check on its body after a while, so naturally, he didnt know about it.

  But this once again proves that ones own conjecture is indeed correct, and only by quickly increasing ones strength can one survive in an increasingly harsh environment...

  After solving a few more zombies, Ling Mo and others finally entered the boys dormitory.

  The narrow dormitory corridor was like a hellish passageway, with deep brown bloodstains splattered on both the walls and floor. Some of the dormitories were half-open, adding to the eerie atmosphere, making one constantly vigilant for zombies that might dash out from inside the rooms.

  This building is at least five stories high, with roughly over a hundred rooms. Logically speaking, finding Lu Xin and Xia Na shouldnt be an easy task.

  However, Ling Mo was not worried about this point, because he just glanced at it and immediately found the mark left by Lu Xin when she passed by.

  He reached out and gently touched a spot of fresh blood on the ground, and Ling Mo immediately asked: "Did Lu Xins wound burst open, or was it Xiang Na who got hurt? I saw some earlier on the stairs, and I also saw some on the road, but because there were zombie corpses nearby, I didnt dare to confirm. But theres nothing around here, this blood must have been left behind by one of them."

  "Its Lu Xin." Liu Yu Hao hastily replied, "I just saw that his whole body was covered in blood, I dont know what happened either."

  "Its better if its not Shana." Ling Mo nodded thoughtfully and looked in the direction of the bloodstains.

  Those occasional bloodstains fell on the ground that was all brown with old blood, and ordinary people would find it very hard to notice them at a glance. If not for Ling Mos sharp observation, they wouldnt have noticed these either. But presumably Lu Xin didnt mean to conceal his tracks, because just as Ling Mo led Liu Yu Hao and the others up to the third floor following the bloodstains, they saw Lu Xin in the corridor.

  In less than two hours, Lu Xins appearance made people completely unable to look straight at him!

  Before, he just made people feel uncomfortable, but now its completely disgusting! The skin on his body was not only scratched and torn, but also started to fester, with murky pus and blood oozing out, dripping down his pant legs from time to time. Just thinking about having touched such blood with his own hands, Ling Mo wanted to wash them immediately.

  However, the expression revealed in those congested eyes was still as arrogant and disgusting as before.

  "Lu Xin! Wheres Shana?"

  Liu Yuhaos eyes turned red as soon as he saw Lu Xin. If it werent for Ling Mo holding him back, he would have rushed up and fought to the death.

  Ling Mo felt that Lu Xins current appearance was very unusual. He didnt think he wanted to become a zombie, but rather... was slowly rotting away!

  Thats right, its rotting! His eyes, the change in his strength, all seem like a zombie, but the change in his body is completely different from that of a zombie. Is this because he came into direct contact with the mutated zombie virus and couldnt withstand it?

  Compared with ordinary zombies, the virus purity of mutated zombies is higher, and the toxicity is naturally stronger!

  Lu Xins transformation shows that if a normal person is infected with the zombie virus and does not die immediately, they will indeed become a zombie. However, if they are directly infected by a mutated zombie and suddenly come into contact with high-purity virus, their body cannot withstand it.
