The long silence was suffocating. Shanas words, along with her lifeless eyes, made Ling Mos heart sink to the bottom, and his mood suddenly became very heavy.
"Id rather die... than become a zombie..." Xiang Na said in a daze, slowly getting up from the bed while holding onto it. Liu Yu Hao stared at her blankly, clearly also deeply shocked.
When Shana was stunned, her long knife was also left on the spot. However, she quickly turned her gaze to Liu Yu Hao, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She suddenly stretched out her hand and snatched the vegetable knife from Liu Yu Haos hand.
But she had just moved, and Ling Mo suddenly came back to his senses, snatching the kitchen knife away from her. At this time, Shana was exhausted and couldnt resist Ling Mo at all.
"I dont want to become a zombie! I dont want to turn into that monster!" Xianas eyes became unfocused again, she frantically pushed and shoved Ling Mo, and reached out to grab the knife from his hand.
But Ling Mo had already fiercely thrown the kitchen knife to the ground, grabbed Xianas shoulder with one hand and said fiercely: "Dont be stupid! It hasnt changed yet, has it? There must be a way!"
"Ah! Give me the knife, give me the knife!"
Xiana couldnt hear Lin Mos words at all, and instead burst into hysterical tears. Lin Mo was helpless, so he reached out to gently pat the back of Xianas head, then picked up her limp body and held it in his arms.
"Infection...... Xiana......" At this time, Liu Yu Hao stumbled up, looking incredulously at Xiana who had fainted in Ling Mos arms, unable to say a complete sentence.
Even Wang Cheng was also a face of deathly pale, without Xiana, he could hardly imagine going back to that kind of life again.
"Could Xiana really... become... something like Lu Xin?" Liu Yu Hao suddenly turned his gaze to Ling Mo, muttering in inquiry.
Indeed, Lu Xins appearance was even more terrifying than a zombie. If he really became like that, not to mention Xiana, even Ling Mo would find it unacceptable. At this moment, looking at Liu Yu Haos eyes on the verge of collapse, Ling Mo sighed silently and said slowly: "You calm down, now the one who is suffering the most is Xiana. Dont you want to think of a way for her?"
"What can be done?" Liu Yu Hao was suddenly enlightened by Ling Mos words, but tears flowed down his face uncontrollably, "What can be done..."
"Based on Lu Xins condition, combined with the time we separated from him, it can be roughly estimated that from infection to symptoms, there is about half an hour. In short, try to think of a way out within this half hour, and its better to make an effort than sit and wait for death." Compared to Liu Yu Hao, who was almost on the verge of mental collapse, Ling Mo was much calmer, and the most important reason for this was that there was a mutated zombie by his side, Ye Lian.
In Ling Mos view, becoming a zombie still had hope, but if the whole body rotted, then it was really hopeless.
"Or... lets just cut off this hand..." Liu Yu Haos eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of ruthlessness as he proposed.
Ling Mo shook his head: "Its no use, its been a while already."
"What else can we do?" Liu Yus expression turned gloomy again.
But in Ling Mos mind, he immediately began to ponder. Lu Xin was infected by a variant zombie, and under the unbearable intensity of the virus, his body rotted completely. When it came to Xiang Na, it should be considered a secondary infection, and the virus she received had been diluted within Lu Xins body. However, even so, it was still higher than the viral concentration in an ordinary zombies body.
Can Shanas physical strength withstand it? The answer is unknown.
Ling Mo lowered his head, looking at Xiang Na in his arms, and he also felt a bit unbearable. The words he had just said were just comfort, but in fact, he didnt know how to stop Xiang Nas mutation either. In fact, he was clear in his heart that Xiang Na would definitely mutate, the difference being whether she became an ordinary zombie or something like Lu Xin.
Just as Ling Mo was at a loss, Xiana slowly came to her senses. In her half-awake state, instead of pushing Ling Mo away immediately, she seemed to be drawn to him and burrowed into his arms.
Ling Mos heart skipped a beat, and he hastily lowered his head to look at Xiang Na, only to discover that he had still underestimated the viruss infectious ability. Xiang Nas eyes were half-open, with a clear streak of blood visible. She had already begun to mutate... It was estimated that from the time Lu Xin used her own blood to infect her with the virus until now, when the mutation characteristics appeared, only less than twenty minutes had passed.
Liu Yuhao also noticed Xianas abnormality, and he hastily reached out to pull her arm: "Xiana, whats wrong with you?"
But Xiang Na didnt respond to him at all and instead stuck tightly to Ling Mos chest, with her other hand directly grabbing onto him.
Ling Mos scalp suddenly went numb, and he hastily pushed Xiana away, but his clothes had already been torn open at the seam. The pushed-away Xiana thoroughly opened her reddened eyes again, pounced over once more, and mumbled indistinctly: "Give me..."
In desperation, Ling Mo tried to control Shana, although he didnt completely succeed, but still made Shanas movements pause for a moment.
And in those brief few seconds, Ling Mo also understood through Xiang Nas strong desire what she wanted...
Brain gel! Shana actually wants the brain gel hes hiding in his arms!
"Xia Na!" Liu Yu Hao was stunned by Xia Nas behavior, while Ling Mo quickly grabbed Xia Nas arm and pressed her onto the bed on one side. Taking advantage of his bent-down position, he blocked Liu Yu Hao and Wang Chengs line of sight. At the same time, he swiftly took out a piece of gel with the lowest viral purity from his pocket and stuffed it into Xia Nas mouth.
"Hmm..."
Unlike Hua Ye Lian, Xiana is still rational now, but under the control of her instincts, she has an intense craving for gelatin. After swallowing the gelatin, she immediately calmed down, lying on the bed with her arms open, and a pair of bloodshot eyes stared blankly at Ling Mo.
"How is she?" Liu Yuhao anxiously gathered around, but at a glance saw Xianas eyes, and his heart suddenly thudded, and he almost couldnt stand still.
Ling Mo stared intently at Xiang Na, paying attention to her reaction. If it werent for Xiang Nas eyes filling with longing when she saw the gel, Ling Mo wouldnt have thought of this approach. Using poison to fight poison? What if it accelerated Xiang Nas mutation process instead? This was not something he could grasp, and he didnt dare try.
But since Shana was filled with longing for it, and this deep longing came from her instincts, it means that the gel must be good for her.
Maybe it can neutralize the toxins in her body and let her recover normally? As soon as this thought emerged, Ling Mos mood immediately became excited.
