Chapter 488 – It’s great having no empathy
Editor: Zephyr04 Translator: Jhung
In the blink of an eye, a week had pa.s.sed since the pursuit.
Whop-whop-whop….
A helicopter appeared above a small town. After circling around, it flew away in the chaos of the zombies.
“They really are endless…”
A figure stretched out his head from a corner and looked at the sky, then disappeared into the darkness.
Shana turned around, leaned against the wall, and glanced at Ling Mo beside her, “This is the second fly I have seen in three days.”
“Yeah, they probably found the other plane we shot down. They’re either searching for us or for the missing members who might have survived.”
Ling Mo said, turning his gaze towards the white-haired young man in front of him. “But they don’t know that they could be doing both of these things at the same time.”
During this period, Ling Mo had been training his synchronization with the corpse puppet Li Hao and had almost finished.
This kind of synchronization refers to the speed and accuracy of the spiritual instructions sent from Ling Mo’s body to the corpse puppet.
The higher the synchronization rate was, the more synchronized the corpse puppet’s behavior would be, and the more natural it would look.
“Come…”
Ling Mo raised his hand, and Li Hao, who was opposite him, made the exact same m
ovement almost at the same time.
Then, under Ling Mo’s gaze, the corpse puppet fluently raised both arms simultaneously. After swinging back and forth, he put his hands on his knees and completed a squat.
Then he stood up again and completed a series of movements without any sense of disobedience…
“In this way… No matter how you look at it, you won’t be able to tell that he’s a zombie. Moreover, he was a spiritual type psychic, so finding spiritual fluctuations on him won’t be surprising. They also won’t casually examine him with their spiritual energy since he’s a captain.”
Ling Mo pinched his chin, nodded in satisfaction, and said.
“But don’t you think… because he is the captain…” From Shana’s body, a figure covered in red light suddenly appeared. Like an image projected from a projection, the figure swayed from time to time. As the connection between the two became more stabilized, the more realistic the image became.
Nana walked up to Li Hao and stared at him from left to right. She suddenly turned her head and looked at Ling Mo. She pointed at Li Hao’s bruised eyes, and said, “They’ll look at him more because of this?”
“Don’t pay so much attention to such minor details…”
“Such minor details are what determines success or failure!” Nana said solemnly.
“But his facial expression will make it easy for him to be exposed.” Ling Mo said with a headache, “It seems that my spiritual power is still not strong enough, at least it isn’t
able to reach 100% synchronization rate with the corpse puppet yet. Being able to make him speak is already my limit. But to control his facial expressions… I can’t do that yet. But if you think about it, if you had such an embarra.s.sing face like this, even if you have facial paralysis, the others should be able to understand, right?”
“We also have another problem…” Nana completely ignored Ling Mo and continued, “From the Air Force Regiment’s point of view, this defeat should be quite embarra.s.sing. And this guy…” She turned around and looked at Ling Mo, “Should be the one responsible for it.”
“I know…”
“If you don’t want him captured the moment he shows up, the best way is to make him be in a circ.u.mstance which stops him from being arrested temporarily. We should also consider the possibility that his angry boss might kill him the moment he shows up. Do you have any solutions for this?”
Nana stared at Ling Mo closely. After a few seconds, she raised her arm that had manifested from her spiritual power and used it to support her head as she shook it, “Never mind, it’s better if I do it. Even if he gets killed, we should make sure he’s still useful in some way so that it won’t be considered a waste of effort…”
Having said this, she suddenly noticed that Ling Mo was staring at her with a smile, and suddenly realized something, “Oh… You did that on purpose! You were teasing me….”
“Haha…”
Ling Mo couldn’t help smiling and turned to look at Ye Lian.
This girl was holding her chin the same way as he did before as if she was thinking abo
ut something.
Seeing Ling Mo turn his head to look at her, Ye Lian lowered her head slightly. She raised her big eyes and stared at Ling Mo blankly, “Hm?”
Thump*
Ling Mo suddenly felt as if his heartbeat had stopped for a moment. Although it was just an inadvertent expression and action, this look… was very human!
Ling Mo became absent-minded. It was as if he saw the girl he once knew again. The girl would be lying on the opposite side of his desk with her chin propped up and she would be gently tapping the book in front of him with a pen.
“That’s wrong…”
“Ai, that’s not it… Ling Mo, can you be a bit more serious, what are you looking at?”
At that time, Ling Mo often wanted to blurt out, “I was looking at you of course.”
Thinking about it now, even if he had said it at the time, she wouldn’t necessarily consider him a pervert, right?
Perhaps, if he had said this, they might not have become so awkward with each other and gradually have their relations.h.i.+p grown apart….
Sometimes it’s just missing that one extra step and a bit of courage…
Cough! * Cough! *
Ling Mo was stunned for two seconds, then he recovered from his daze under the watchful eyes of the ‘twins’, and asked, “Girl, what are you thinking about?
Ye Lian still maintained a dazed look, and slowly shook her head, “Nothing…”
The two looked at each other for a while, and Ling Mo suddenly showed a smile and s
tretched out his hand to rub Ye Lian’s head.
Although she didn’t say anything, Ling Mo was very touched by the concern in her eyes.
“In this case, let’s first find a way to prevent him from being arrested.”
There was already a smile on Dark Shana’s face as she and Nana walked up to Li Hao at the same time.
This eerie smile, everyone present couldn’t be more familiar…
She squeezed her little fist, then shook her straight black hair, and said, “Leave these kinds of little tasks to me. Nana, remember to tell me when to stop…”
Seeing the two Shanas surround him, Ling Mo secretly rejoiced again in his heart…
Regardless of how high his synchronization was; he would never have to feel what the corpse puppet felt. Although it was a pity that his synchronization wasn’t high enough, as long as he remembered this, the regret he had didn’t need to be concerned.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
When Ling Mo heard the sounds of fists. .h.i.tting the flesh, he immediately turned his head, pretending to be ignorant to the sound.
“Ling Mo!”
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley, and after a flash, it had already hung itself onto Ling Mo, “We’re back. How’s everything? Is it time for us to make a move?”
“Senior Sister… my neck… cough cough cough…”
After finally moving Ya Lin’s arm, Ling Mo breathed heavily while exclaiming, “Your body is getting lighter and lighter… but why is your strength still so….”
As Senior Sister swallowed more and more mutant snake gels, the changes in her body became more and more evident.
For example, her weight…
Although Senior Sister was very agile in the past, her difference in weight with the average female wasn’t too big.
And because of the enormous strength that came from her zombie side, he felt no different from being overwhelmed by a beast when she pounced on him.
It’s just that this “beast” was both s.e.xy and charming, and it was just expressing its love for him, so Ling Mo endured it with pain and happiness…
Now, this feeling has changed. He felt as if he had been thrown into the water the moment Senior Sister jumped on him. The huge pressure instantly made Ling Mo run out of breath.
But then, because her weight was very light, Ling Mo felt as if he had suddenly risen to the surface and was able to relax again.
“If only you could jump lighter, that would be great…”
Ling Mo continued.
“I’m still not used to it yet.”
Senior Sister was still hanging onto Ling Mo. Her joints were very flexible now. Not only could she dangle on to Ling Mo like this, but if Ling Mo was a tube she could probably also wrap herself around him.
The most important thing was that her reaction time and speed had gradually surpa.s.sed the others, and even reached a point where Ling Mo was surprised.
He was sure that if his reaction speed was a little slower, he wouldn’t be able to keep up with Ya Lin at all.
“Lucy should have returned to F-City by now…”
Ling Mo looked towards the alley. The huge Xiao Bai was trying to squeeze into the alley, while Yu s.h.i.+ Ran was desperately pus.h.i.+ng him from behind.
