With this stable and winning method, Ling Mo continued to sweep through two small supermarkets, reaping a rich harvest.
In this process, he intentionally verified his puppeteering skills and found that they had indeed improved somewhat.
In the past, when he couldn't see the invisible threads, he had to communicate with the corpses through eye contact to see their spiritual light clusters.
But now the invisible threads in his eyes are becoming clearer and clearer, even to the point of being tangible, at which time the restrictions on his control over the corpse puppet are greatly reduced.
To establish a connection with the Corpse Bride, all that is needed is to wrap the invisible thread around the empty spiritual light sphere of the Corpse Bride. However, to control her, the thread must be inserted deep within it.
For example, the connection between him and Xiana was only maintained at a level of being wrapped in silk threads, while with Ye Lian, it seemed as if he had completely merged with her spiritual light group, making control come naturally.
Ling Mo gave this silk thread a very appropriate name: Spiritual Touch, abbreviated as Touch.
Looking at the countless tentacles radiating from himself, Shana and Yeluo were closely tied to him, and Ling Mo's mouth involuntarily revealed a hint of an evil smile.
If these tentacles could really materialize... Before he could think deeply about it, Ling Mo immediately laughed at himself with some self-mockery: "It's just spiritual power, even if it can materialize... wouldn't I become a Tentacle Monster then?"
On the other hand, he also discovered a very important situation in the process of fighting.
As fellow corpses, Ye Lian and Xiana got along quite harmoniously, unlike when they faced other members of the same kind with such aggression.
However, the two of them would not coordinate with each other, especially when Ling Mo reduced his control over Ye Lian, allowing her to fight on instinct. This weakness became even more apparent. Fighting separately, and being variant zombies that mostly just attacked, it was easy for trouble to arise in an area filled with so many zombies.
But if Ling Mo takes the lead and they assist, this problem can be easily solved. Whether it's Ye Lian or Xianna, they will coordinate with Ling Mo's pace when attacking, which greatly improves the efficiency of the battle.
"It seems like it still won't work without me..."
These two variant female zombies will only cooperate with Ling Mo, which also poses a considerable challenge to Ling Mo's own combat power. Fortunately, after his physical upgrade, although his strength did not increase, his speed accelerated greatly, not only could he keep up with Ye Lian's attack speed, but also guide Xiang Na to launch a faster offensive.
This duo can be said to have a perfect match, and with their cautious approach, they managed to get through the entire journey without anyone getting hurt, and instead took down many zombies.
The food has been searched for almost all, and from going out to now, it's also been about two or three hours. Ling Mo then shifted his target to hunting zombies.
Constantly using the Corpse Puppet ability, while maintaining a spiritual connection with the two female corpse puppets, even if Ling Mo's spiritual touch was strong, it would still soften at this moment.
After all, spiritual power enhancement is more important than physical enhancement!
Virus gel is indeed a hot commodity and the more the better!
However, ordinary zombies are all over the streets, but variant zombies are not that easy to find. Therefore, during the advance, Ling Mo is also observing everywhere.
"New Era Shopping Mall..."
From a distance, Ling Mo saw a large shopping mall. He was quite familiar with this mall called New Era, knowing it was the largest one in the vicinity. Before the apocalypse, the foot traffic here was astonishing every day.
A place like this must have mutated zombies inside!
However, upon arriving at the mall, Ling Mo did not rush in, but instead hid in a corner to catch his breath and observe the situation inside the mall.
A large shopping mall in the downtown area, with an unimaginable number of zombies inside. As far as the eye can see, almost the entire mall is filled with zombies!
But compared with the massive number of zombies, the exit of this mall seems too narrow and inconspicuous!
Originally, Ling Mo was worried that there might be survivors here, and the zombies inside would all be led out, but as he approached, he found himself overthinking.
In a large commercial area like this, survivors obviously kept their distance. The things sold inside had nothing to do with food, and apart from those with special purposes like Ling Mo, who would approach this place?
However, the fact that there were no survivors nearby did not mean that there was no sign of slaughter here. On the contrary, almost all the doors of the shopping mall were stained with blood, and layers of plasma and shredded flesh had condensed together, as if a layer of extremely smelly bloody carpet had been laid on the ground. Everywhere could be seen torn clothing remnants, as well as scattered human bones. It can be imagined that a nauseating feast of human flesh had once erupted here...
And inside the mall it's even more so, there is almost no clean place at all.
Even Ling Mo couldn't help but wrinkle his brow at the intense smell, while Xiana and Ye Lian, on the other hand, seemed somewhat excited. Xiana's eyes even had a faint reddish tint to them. In this regard, her self-control was actually inferior to Ye Lian's, which made Ling Mo vaguely feel that although Xiana's rationality had recovered more, in terms of physical body and nature, Ye Lian's evolution was slightly higher.
However, the allure of blood to zombies is indeed very strong...
But with such a strong bloody smell, I don't have to worry about these zombies discovering myself through their sense of smell. As long as I pay attention not to make any noise and hide my tracks well, this mall that seems like a meat grinder may not be impossible to explore. Moreover, Ling Mo had been to this mall before and knew that the higher you go, the more high-end the shops are, and naturally there will be fewer people strolling around.
In the event of a disaster outbreak, it is estimated that everyone will rush downstairs, so although there are many zombies piled up on the first and second floors, the upper floors may be a true vacuum zone.
At worst, relying on several staircases in this mall, Ling Mo also had a way to escape.
After making up his mind, Ling Mo took a deep breath and quietly circled around the outside of the mall, finally slipping in through a staff passageway on the side.
As for Ye Lian and Xia Na, although they could freely enter and exit the zombie crowd, Ling Mo felt a bit uneasy seeing the large number of zombies wandering around in the mall. So he had these two variant female zombies follow him instead of charging through the front door.
Entering from the staff passage, it is a semi-enclosed space, where you can see into the mall through the half-open door gap and quietly go up the stairs.
Although I didn't have direct contact with the large group of zombies in the mall, being so close to them was still a bit chilling.
