Chapter 701: Single-use Throwing Bomb
“So it was Black Silk…” Ling Mo understood.
But since he knew it was a Phantom, why was he talking so eagerly at the wall…
Despite being speechless, Ling Mo pulled Mu Chen back to his side and sent the Little Zombie Puppet over, intending to bring Yu Shiran back.
Dealing with Yu Shiran wasn’t easy, especially now that control had switched to Black Silk.
A karate chop from the Little Zombie Puppet would most likely ruin its hand but never knock Yu Shiran out.
Grabbing the silver thread… such a move would definitely lead to getting pierced…
Feeling frustrated, Ling Mo scratched his head, ignoring Black Silk who was mumbling at the wall, and decided to find the main culprit first.
It was already impressive that Black Silk could see through the hallucination, and there was nothing too shameful about talking to a wall…“Hmm… not hitting me confirms that it’s really a Phantom, not changed by Ling Mo…” Black Silk said thoughtfully.
This time Ling Mo was genuinely shocked. So she was testing…
Being able to think that the Phantom might be a companion was also quite impressive…
“But she actually called me by my name!” Ling Mo suddenly got angry. Such an impertinent pet!
While searching for that superhuman, Ling Mo gradually calmed down from his previous tension.
This superpower was indeed impressive, but in hindsight, it lacked any “vitality.”
It was like creating an Illusion here, but without anyone hosting it.
The superhuman didn’t use any follow-up moves on the ambushed targets; instead, they let them wander inside…
Although the simultaneous appearance of Mu Chen and Yu Shiran initially made Ling Mo feel that someone was playing tricks, upon further reflection, who would do such a thing? There was a Zombie standing right next to them unaffected by the Illusion…
Thinking again, Yu Shiran and the Little Zombie Puppet were clearly Zombies; wouldn’t the superhuman react to that?
“I think I understand what kind of human we’re dealing with. That idiot ended up like that for a reason, after all… but I am not him. To deal with prey, one must first understand them. This basic human knowledge is something he couldn’t even remember…”
“The only regret is not being able to understand all their kind at once… this human is really cautious. Anyway, the goal of using this zombie to trap you in the mall has been achieved.”
The figure shook its head with some regret and then laughed, “Delaying until now, just in time for you to experience Cuihu City’s special treat, hahaha…”
These words sounded quite human, but were promptly ruined by a strange laugh.
“Good things must be savored slowly… Anyway, now that you’re here, you won’t be leaving. This human might not be very clever, but his brain is very nutritious…”
At this point, the figure licked its lips, making a slurping sound.
“Enjoy yourselves; this place will cultivate you into the most delicious food…”
But at this point, the figure seemed somewhat nervous.
“Hopefully, that truly delicious one gets severely injured…”
After glancing towards the mall, the figure quickly disappeared from sight.
…
“Strange…”
It took Ling Mo a moment to snap out of his stupor, but hearing Black Silk still muttering brought him back to his senses.
The hallucination was still ongoing!
No matter how shocked he was, he had to figure things out.
If this zombie was the cause, it was even more terrifying than the superhuman.
If he didn’t get to the bottom of this now, it would be troublesome if it happened again in the future.
After thoroughly searching the other cubicles, Ling Mo confirmed the only present fourth party was indeed this zombie.
Since Yu Shiran was still in the hallucination, it meant there was something on this zombie causing the hallucination.
It could affect the five senses, and even deprive people of their sense of direction and judgment, but not affect those without self-awareness…
“What exactly is it…”
The Little Zombie Puppet searched the corpse for a while, even examining the wound carefully.
The wound had already started to heal, leaving almost nothing but a white scar, which was actually quite unremarkable.
“Wait a minute… How did he get injured? And with such a small wound, how could there be so much blood…”
Ling Mo directed the Little Zombie Puppet’s attention to the zombie’s clothes. Even though they were already stained with a lot of blood, it was still possible to differentiate the fresh stains…
It was clearly blood, but it didn’t have the distinct metallic smell. Instead, it had a strange odor mixed in… Although the entire body already had a peculiar smell…
A typical zombie wouldn’t notice this subtle difference.
And a regular human wouldn’t be able to detect it at all.
Only by controlling the Little Zombie Puppet could Ling Mo notice both aspects.
“Where exactly did all this blood come from?”
Ling Mo controlled the Little Zombie Puppet to conduct another thorough inspection and finally noticed a detail.
It seemed like there was a bit of blood on the zombie’s mouth…
Blood on a zombie’s mouth was normal, but at this point, no detail could be overlooked.
However, as soon as the Little Zombie Puppet pried open the zombie’s lips, a jet of blood surged out.
The Little Zombie Puppet quickly dodged, and the blood splattered onto the ground.
“How does it have a post-mortem blood spray attack…” Ling Mo felt a wave of disgust.
But after a quick glance at the blood, Ling Mo paused.
He immediately controlled the Little Zombie Puppet to move closer and squatted down to take a closer look.
The color… it was quite diluted!
No wonder the smell was odd; it was clearly a mixture of blood and some other liquid…
“Determining if this is the cause should be quite easy…”
Ling Mo had the Little Zombie Puppet tear off a piece of the zombie’s clothing corner and dab it into the liquid.
Then she returned to the corpse and punched its stomach.
Its mouth opened again, and another jet of diluted blood sprayed out.
Ling Mo’s attention shifted back to the wound on the zombie’s body, where the blood looked normal…
“So, the wound was deliberately inflicted as a cover-up?”
The corpse’s joints were still flexible, indicating it hadn’t been dead for long.
But this sort of kamikaze attack was something Ling Mo had never seen before.
Zombies naturally hunt humans, but they don’t typically engage in mutual destruction…
“Let’s check again!”
“Bang!”
Another punch.
After a few more punches, no more liquid sprayed from the zombie’s mouth.
“Just as I thought, it was something hidden in the mouth!”
Ling Mo instantly understood: This zombie was a one-time throwable bomb!
The real bomber was someone else pulling the strings!
