Chapter 706: The Terrifying Long Hair
As the distance between the zombie puppet and the main body rapidly closed, Ling Mo’s concentration reached its peak!
Human beings have an innate fear of the unknown.
But in this state of heightened focus, Ling Mo felt a hint of excitement!
This was a Monster stronger than a Bird Zombie, which meant it was at least at the King level or higher!
Moreover, Ling Mo was in a much better state now compared to when he faced the Bird Zombie.
“Even if I can’t kill it, I still have a fallback plan…”
Ling Mo’s thoughts were incredibly calm. As long as he could stop this Monster from producing the rampage virus, Ye Lian and the others could be freed…
His mission was singular: to fiercely beat this Monster in the shortest time possible!
Click click click…
The faint sound quickly approached, and Ling Mo stared at the corner, not daring to blink!
The zombie puppet was already severely wounded but still running desperately.
As long as it could hold on until it reached the main body, Ling Mo would seize the opportunity to strike first.
Feeling the relentless pursuit of the Monster above, the zombie puppet accelerated with all its might and already fixed its gaze on the wall ahead.
No matter how fast it was, there would definitely be a moment of stasis when turning…
Charge straight ahead!
As it was about to crash into the wall, the zombie puppet suddenly leaped, its foot stomping forcefully on the wall. Using the rebound force, it turned and landed right in front of Ling Mo.
In that instant, Ling Mo, who was controlling the zombie puppet, could even clearly feel a chill brus.h.i.+ng past its scalp.
This kind of life-and-death crisis, felt so vividly, gave Ling Mo a strange thrill.
“No wonder people always seek danger even in peacetime. Walking the line of death is terrifying, but also exhilarating…”
Ling Mo realized that as he got closer to the virus source, he was inevitably being influenced.
“Bang!”
As the zombie puppet landed, a Dark Shadow appeared before Ling Mo’s eyes.
Upon just a glance, Ling Mo felt his hair stand on end.
What is this thing?!
At first glance, it looked like a giant ma.s.s of a woman’s long hair!
It was covered in a colorless, odorless, transparent mucus, appearing as though it had just been pulled out from water.
But to call it hair the way it moved was just too active…
As for a mutation beast… Ling Mo had never heard of a creature that grew so much “hair.”
But thinking of Black Silk, Ling Mo was no longer surprised.
These days, nothing strange is surprising anymore…
Who knows what this Monster looked like before; after all, it has now evolved into this form…
Those “hairs” were probing out from the gaps in the ceiling panels, while the Monster’s main body was still hidden within the Ceiling.
Its evolution into this form was probably related to its life habits.
Seeing the zombie puppet rus.h.i.+ng toward him, Ling Mo remained motionless.
Less than ten meters away!
In an instant, dozens of prepared Tentacles suddenly materialized!
After a series of dense clicks, those “hairs” were immediately pinned in place.
Dozens of holes appeared within a one-meter radius centered on the “hairs.” Soon, more transparent Liquid began to flow out from some of these holes…
“Hey, where’s the blood?!”
Ling Mo was stunned. He had considered that this Monster might look bizarre, so he had included the hair in his attack range. But what was with just liquid and no blood?
Even the Hallucinogenic Virus Production Machine had blood in it!
But there was no time for Ling Mo to ponder; the Monster was evidently not severely affected and quickly approached again.
And this time, its target was directly Ling Mo!
“d.a.m.n it…”
Another bunch of Tentacles stabbed forward, while the Little Zombie Puppet suddenly leaped, grasping a strand of the “hair” and yanking it down fiercely.
As soon as the hair touched Ling Mo’s hand, he felt the Little Zombie Puppet’s skin being torn open, with a strand of hair even drilling inside…
However, this pull successfully broke the ceiling panel, causing a ma.s.sive clump of “hair” to come cras.h.i.+ng down.
The Little Zombie Puppet quickly dodged aside, but not before a horrifying wound appeared on its hand.
Numerous blood lines, along with a strand of “hair” that had lodged itself inside and was wriggling inward.
This sight made Ling Mo’s scalp tingle. He hastily had the Little Zombie Puppet yank it out.
It wasn’t easy to pull out…
This “hair,” though fine, was covered in barbs. When yanked out, it left a bruise mark under the Little Zombie Puppet’s Arm.
“This is a real Monster…”
Ling Mo slowly retreated in the direction of the restroom, his gaze locked on that ma.s.s of hair.
In the moment the hair fell, he also got a clear view of the Monster’s full appearance.
In fact, its main component turned out to be a person…
But just looking at the stuff oozing out of this person, you could tell it was merely a sh.e.l.l.
And judging by the body weight, it didn’t resemble a normal adult’s form.
This reminded Ling Mo of watery corpses, but it was a hundred times more disgusting.
The hair completely covered the head part of the sh.e.l.l, as if it had really grown out of this person’s body…
“If a Zombie’s hair could evolve into this, I’d truly be impressed by the virus’s creativity…” Ling Mo inwardly rolled his eyes.
He had prepared his Tentacles, ready to directly attack the hair.
However, the Little Zombie Puppet’s pull from before indicated that the hair was quite resilient, and Tentacle attacks might not be very effective.
Burning it probably wouldn’t work either-it was too wet and might not catch fire, and it didn’t seem like the Monster would give Ling Mo a chance…
“Let’s look for a weakness first…”
Ling Mo stood still but kept his body tense, ready to react at any moment.
Tentacles were already in place to prevent the hair from invading his body.
The hair wiggled a couple of times, then slowly turned over.
To Ling Mo’s surprise, the supposedly human-shaped sh.e.l.l also started to move…
“You’ve got to be kidding me…”
Watching the awkward movements of the sh.e.l.l, a chill ran down Ling Mo’s spine.
He glanced closely and suddenly realized…
No wonder it could move; a lot of hair had penetrated it…
However, the Monster could barely stand up and clearly couldn’t make any precise movements.
Ling Mo targeted several joints in rapid succession, but it only made the Monster kneel without stopping its movements.
“Attacking the sh.e.l.l doesn’t affect the main body… Speaking of which, why do mutation beasts always target human bodies?”
Don’t they know how horrifying that is!
This question popped up once again at an inopportune time; Ling Mo just couldn’t wrap his head around it.
Mutation beasts should just be beasts, why do they keep fixating on human bodies…
Ling Mo couldn’t tell the original form of this ma.s.s of Hair, but during its attempt to stand up, he caught a glimpse of a clue.
This was essentially a horror version of a wig…
A pitch-black hood entirely covered the sh.e.l.l’s head, with the faint outline of facial features still visible.
The hood was about a finger thick, making it hard to discern the features clearly. Nonetheless, this only added to its horrifying appearance.
The Hair grew from the top of the hood, likely split into two groups: one inside and the other outside.
The Hair inside the hood penetrated the sh.e.l.l’s interior, securing the hood firmly to it and enabling the sh.e.l.l to move.
The Hair outside was for attacking.
“This is quite similar to Black Silk…” Ling Mo couldn’t help but think.
If Black Silk knew what he was thinking, it would probably go on a rampage…
Black Silk was definitely in the ‘mild appearance’ category, while this “wig” was definitely the ‘make you go weak at the knees’ type…
The “wig” obviously couldn’t speak, and its Intelligence was indeterminable.
Since it was a mutation beast, its exact level couldn’t be judged either.
“In terms of damage potential… it should be at the King level. But this unique form makes it much stronger than Zombies of the same level…”
At this point, Ling Mo had quietly retreated to the restroom door, ready to make an escape at any moment.
But before escaping, he had to give this “wig” a good beating.
While the “wig” still struggled to stand up, Ling Mo’s Tentacles wrapped around it once more.
This time, he bound all the Hair together, and one Tentacle directly stabbed toward the hood.
“This must be your main body!”
