After a night of repeated back-and-forth, Shana even fainted several times along the way, until her condition finally stabilized in the morning.

  Just as Ling Mo had guessed, the current Shana had indeed become a zombie, but at the same time possessed a thread of rationality. Compared to before, her "schizophrenia" situation had improved a lot, but only just! The current Shana was still separated from the variant zombies by a thin line, but in reality, she was stronger than ordinary zombies.

  Ling Mo discovered a pattern in her "split personality". As long as she didnt face a crisis, Shana would remain in a normal human state, although somewhat dazed and rarely reacting to people, but still retaining basic language skills, occasionally speaking a few words on her own initiative. However, once she felt threatened, the remaining rationality would be immediately replaced by instinct, transforming her into a highly aggressive zombie.

  However, under Ling Mos control, her emotions gradually stabilized a lot, and her hostility towards Liu Yu Hao and Wang Cheng was not so strong. But because of the special spiritual connection between Ling Mo and herself, Xiana seemed to be closest to Ling Mo.

  For example, now Xiana is looking at Ling Mo with a hint of confusion, one hand tightly grasping him...

  "Xia Na, do you recognize me?" One evening, Xia Na was called out more than a hundred times. She did have an impression of her own name and would react whenever it was called out. However, when faced with these questions, she was not so much that she didnt understand the meaning as she was completely bewildered, having no idea what the other person was asking.

  However, Shana showed extremely strong interest in her long sword. When she saw Shana holding the long sword, looking a bit dazed for a moment, and then suddenly drawing it out of its scabbard, that momentum was even stronger than before!

  But she refused to put down the long knife, and Ling Mo always felt that Xiang Na and Ye Lian should both have a complete chance of recovering their sanity, so he didnt force her to hand over the long knife. Having an obsession is better than completely becoming a mindless zombie.

  It can be said that Shanas situation has thoroughly solidified Ling Mos confidence. Zombies are indeed terrifying, but the factor influencing zombies ultimately is just a virus. Moreover, from the current situation, Ling Mo already had a formed idea in his mind. As the virus continues to evolve, the zombies strength will also increase accordingly, and at the same time, they will gradually grow into intelligent monsters! Shanas situation proves this point! She absorbed too much of the virus at once, which is why she has become like this now, and Ye Lian also showed signs of recovering her intelligence after evolving.

  Unlike Liu Yu-Hao who was filled with sorrow, Ling Mo was full of energy at this moment!

  "Ling Ge... Xiana is now in this state..." Liu Yu Hao no longer dared to get too close to Xiana, and could only sit far away on one side, watching Xianas every move. From his expression, it was not hard to see that he was filled with both puzzlement and sympathy for Xiana at the same time.

  No normal person wants to become a zombie, no matter how incomplete...

  Ling Mo looked at him deeply and said, "Compared to letting Xiang Na die or becoming like Lu Xin, dont you think the current result is already quite fortunate?"

  "This..." Liu Yu Haos face showed a hint of hesitation, and then he nodded heavily, "Thats right, its better this way... at least she wont show malice towards Brother Ling."

  When he said this, Liu Yuhaos tone was somewhat bitter. Ling Mo didnt tell him that she had the ability to control puppets, so Liu Yuhao thought that Xianas closeness to Ling Mo was purely instinctual, but she had no memory of him, her classmate with whom she had fought side by side for a long time, which made Liu Yuhao extremely depressed.

  "Hmm..." Ling Mo covered his nose and said, "Maybe, Im saying maybe, Xiana will slowly regain her sanity."

  "What?" Liu Yu Hao was startled and immediately forgot his disappointment, his eyes locked onto Ling Mos face.

  Ling Mo said slowly, "You also saw that Xiang Na is now different from the average zombie. It cant be said that she has completely regained her sanity, but at least she hasnt been completely controlled by her instincts. This situation may not have occurred in any other zombie... In any case, as long as her thoughts havent been completely erased, theres still hope for recovery. Its just that this time may be very short, or it may be very long."

  Although what he said was just a guess, Liu Yus gaze had become extremely eager!

  "Its good to have hope! However... now Xiang Na only recognizes you..." Liu Yu Hao became excited and then fell into despair. With Xiang Nas current condition, he couldnt even get close to her, let alone be with her like before.

  Ling Mo was about to say something when he suddenly saw Wang Cheng rush over, stopping at a distance from Xiang Na, his face filled with surprise as he exclaimed: "There are people on the street! There are survivors!"

  "Survivor?"

  Following Wang Cheng onto the balcony, Ling Mo took a peek through the gap in the curtains and indeed saw the survivor he had mentioned.

  But just taking a glance, Ling Mo couldnt help but twitch at the corners of his eyes. This time, it wasnt just one survivor, but an entire team of survivors!

  There were more than twenty young men and women, all carrying various backpacks, with an assortment of weapons in their hands. They appeared to have been out searching for food since early morning, but were now surrounded by over a dozen zombies. After observing them for a while, Ling Mo discovered that although they were ordinary people, there were several young men among them who were quite skilled and ruthless in combat.

  But what caught Ling Mos attention was the way they dealt with the zombies. The few young men rushed to the front, while the others immediately dispersed in threes and twos, using cars and other objects as cover, and began to circle around the zombies. Although their combat strength was not strong, they supported each other, covering each others weaknesses, and even though they couldnt confront the zombies head-on like the young men, they managed to take out the remaining zombies one by one during the process of circling around.

  At this point, Ling Mo couldnt help but want to shout "good", in his opinion, this was the real survival team.

  But they were ultimately insufficient in combat power, and soon fell into danger in a place infested with zombies. Attracted by the smell of blood, more and more zombies emerged from all sides and rushed towards them frantically. These people persisted for a while before being forced to retreat, eventually withdrawing into this residential area and heading straight for the building where Ling Mo and others were located!

  Soon, a dull thud came from downstairs, and it was clear that these people had rushed into the safe staircase. But immediately after, a loud crash came, and those zombies were frantically slamming against the stairwell door. Judging from the noise, it wouldnt be long before the stairwell door would be smashed open, and when that happened, a group of zombies would swarm in, and Ling Mo and others hiding in the house might also be in danger.

  At this time, the best way is to hide in the house and not make a sound, but as the chaotic footsteps approached, Ling Mo suddenly felt a sense of suffocation.

  These people actually went upstairs and even rushed into the corridor on the second floor!
