In the bedroom, Shana was still unconscious, while Ye Lian sat on the edge of the bed, a pair of unusually bright eyes staring intently at Shana.

  These ordinary foods, Ye Lian wouldnt eat naturally, and Ling Mos actions were just covering peoples ears and eyes.

  But since I said I was coming to deliver food, I should stay for a while. Taking advantage of this time, Ling Mo walked to Xiannas side again and carefully observed her reaction.

  For someone who had just swallowed two blocks of virus gel, Shanas reaction was surprisingly calm. She breathed steadily, her complexion normal, and there wasnt a hint of pain on her face. But it was certain that beneath the calm surface, a viral storm was raging inside Shanas body. However, no one knew what the aftermath of the storm would bring to Shana.

  After observing Xianna for over ten minutes, Ling Mo finally returned to the living room. By this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and for safety reasons, Ling Mo completely closed the curtains on the balcony and blocked the entrance with furniture. This way, even if an accident occurred, it could hold up for a while.

  Wang Cheng and Liu Yu Hao also became tense, staying overnight in this completely strange and uncleaned environment was still a bit too stimulating for them. Who knows when there will be zombies passing by outside the door?

  "Dont make too much noise." Ling Mos expression became calmer and he only gave a faint reminder.

  "What about tonights watch?" Liu Yu Hao obviously took Ling Mo as the mainstay, nodded and asked immediately.

  Ling Mo thought for a moment and said, "Lets take turns every three hours. Xiang Ya will be guarded by Ye Lian, and when Im on guard, Ill also go to watch."

  "No, Ill take turns with Wang Cheng. Ling Ge, you and Ye Lian Jie just need to guard Xia Na." Liu Yu Hao shook his head slowly and said, "Youre already on duty and also have to guard Xia Na, thats too tiring. As for me and Wang Cheng, we dont have anything else to do right now, so this is all we can do."

  Wang Cheng also nodded in agreement on the side, indicating no objection to this. Seeing their persistence, Ling Mo had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

  In fact, being true to oneself is not an easy thing!

  As night falls, all sorts of sounds start to emanate from the deathly silent building, and occasionally, you can even hear voices coming from above your head! Not to mention the commotion that comes from outside. A person sitting alone in a pitch-black room, listening to the faint sounds coming from all directions, feels their fear slowly but surely magnifying, its simply a kind of slow torture!

  Occasionally a slightly louder sound comes, and the person on guard jumps up like a startled bird, then tenses up to distinguish how far away the sound is from their location, whether its dangerous...

  But even Wang Cheng felt that even if he stayed in the living room alone, frightened and fearful, it was better than being with Xiana now. Therefore, he not only took the initiative to suggest keeping watch for the first half of the night but also moved a stool to sit closer to the door to avoid missing anything. After all, if something went wrong, he would probably be the first to die.

  Although Liu Yuhao had a lot on his mind, he was exhausted after a whole day of work and soon fell asleep in a daze on the sofa.

  Ling Mo moved a sofa chair into the house, sat far away in the corner, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. This day Ling Mo was also exhausted, he couldnt compare with the zombies, if he didnt seize the time to rest, his physical strength would not be able to recover. This is the most taboo thing in the doomsday world, after all, you can still fight with a few zombies, but when encountering a large number of zombies, its a competition of speed and physical strength.

  Although he didnt really fall asleep, Ling Mo would occasionally enter deep sleep for a short period of time during his pseudo-sleeping process, and then quickly wake up again after a few minutes. This way of sleeping was probably already mastered by people struggling to survive in the post-apocalyptic world, but Ling Mo was exceptionally skilled at it. The reason was still due to his special ability, Puppeteer. But most importantly, his mental strength was stronger than that of ordinary people, and he had also undergone an evolution.

  What is referred to as spiritual power, in Ling Mos view, is probably a general term for concentration and observation. The ability to control puppets he possesses is to separate a part of his own spiritual power to control the undead who have no intellect and only act on instinct. Using ones mind for two purposes is not an easy task, especially when applied in combat. In life-and-death battles, what matters most is the speed of reaction of the nerves and body, if ones attention is not focused, how can they keep up with the movements of the undead?

  At first, Ling Mo was always controlling the puppet to fight, and he himself hid behind the scenes. Later, he rushed out to fight under the cover of the puppet. It wasnt until he controlled Ye Lian that Ling Mo began to slowly learn how to cooperate with the puppet in battle. In this process, Ling Mos spiritual power had been fully tempered, so when Ye Lian evolved, Ling Mo, who was also affected, also increased his spiritual power and even evolved while trying to control two mutated zombies at the same time.

  The evolution of spiritual power is a relatively vague concept, and only Ling Mo clearly knows what kind of feeling it is. To put it simply, when he previously controlled Ye Lian, especially when controlling her to fight, he had to be in high spirits, otherwise Ye Lian would easily show a tendency to lose control. Moreover, although Ling Mos neural reaction speed was fast, when he transmitted instructions to Ye Lian, the other partys feedback would always be delayed. If Ling Mo is compared to an instruction sending center, then his spiritual power is like a connecting hub, and in the process of data transmission, due to this connecting hub not being strong enough, there will always be a delay phenomenon.

  But after evolving, this connection hub instantly upgraded a level, and the transmission of instructions also became more stable and rapid!

  At this time, Ye Lian was like a separate entity in Ling Mos mind, controlling her without any obstacles. Of course, Ling Mo didnt really treat her as a separate entity, and in fact, during battles, he had been consciously cultivating his own abilities instead of relying entirely on Ye Lian. Most of the time, it was him taking the lead and Ye Lian supporting him. Although ordinary people and zombies were vastly different, they werent completely unable to fight back.

  What makes zombies terrifying is that once they discover their prey, they launch a frenzied attack, and no matter how severe the injury, they will not retreat. Ordinary people are timid and afraid of getting hurt, and when they see a zombie, they become even more fearful and lose the upper hand. However, for Ling Mo, who has been dealing with zombies all along and even lives in the same room as them, zombies arent that scary after all!

  Setting aside the group advantage of zombies, in the case of encountering a single zombie, ordinary people actually have an advantage! Zombies rely solely on instinct, so they appear crazy and terrifying, but this is also their weakness. Ordinary people, on the other hand, will use skills in battle and wont launch a blind attack.

  However, Ling Mo also knew that this was just a thought, and most people still had to huddle together in order to barely survive. Because in such a big city, the number of zombies was simply too many. One madman wasnt scary, but what if it were a group of madmen? Tens of millions of bloodthirsty madmen roaming around this city, what a terrifying scene that would be!

  Even Ling Mo himself, relying on his puppet manipulation ability and having Ye Lian by his side, could only flee for his life when faced with a larger number of zombies. Just like before at the revolving door in the mall, even though he took advantage of the terrain to take out that group of zombies, there were still casualties among his team. Ling Mo asked himself, if it had just been him and Ye Lian in that situation, they wouldnt have been able to cope. If not for the crazily fighting Xiang Nan...

  "Huh?"

  A strange feeling suddenly and thoroughly awakened Ling Mo. He threw off the quilt on his body, stood up, and looked at Xiana lying on the bed.

  Just now, under Ye Lians gaze, Shana suddenly and eerily opened her eyes...
