Chapter 610: The Uniqueness of Dog Girl

“What on earth is this thing?”

Ling Mo pinched the “jellyfish,” inquiring.

It was somewhat soft, icy to the touch, and although it smelled similar to Mucus, there did not seem to be any visible similarities in shape.

“Is this what you all came here for?” Not waiting for a response, Ling Mo turned his attention to Yu Shiran.

Under Ling Mo’s stare, Yu Shiran’s expression became awkward.

Even though she hadn’t been scolded nor truly punished, her heart just couldn’t shake off the discomfort.

Yu Shiran glanced down at her chest, perplexed. Perhaps this stifling sensation had nothing to do with physical exhaustion…

But… it was indeed a strange feeling.

She’d never felt this way with Ban Yue.

And she had not anticipated this sensation when they decided on their course of action.

Betraying a teammate? What’s the big deal?

They weren’t spouses, and besides, it wasn’t her who laid hands on Xiao Bai!

But… why did she feel so lowered by Ling Mo’s gaze?

And after a failed escape, shouldn’t she be angry?

Yet, why did she find herself not really wanting to devour Black Silk once she had calmed down a bit?

Such a complex feeling.

Desperately wanting to run away, to be as far as possible from this human and these degenerate peers, wasn’t that her strongest desire?

Zombie loli was bewildered; she suddenly realized that at least one thing the Sausage Humans said seemed not entirely wrong.

She didn’t even know what she was thinking anymore.

This is not how a zombie’s mind should work! A zombie’s thoughts are supposed to be simpler, more straightforward!

Yu Shiran was inwardly frustrated…

“Hey, I’m talking to you.” Ling Mo, still holding the “jellyfish,” tapped it against Yu Shiran’s head.

“Ah…” Yu Shiran snapped back to reality, replying awkwardly, “Yes…”

“So what exactly is this?” Ling Mo asked.

“I’m not sure… it might be some kind of baby product…” Yu Shiran’s gaze shifted to the juvenile zombie that Shana was holding.

Ling Mo followed her gaze and was momentarily taken aback.

He looked down at the jellyfish in his hand, then back at the juvenile zombie, his face a mix of confusion as he asked, “You didn’t get this from him, did you?”

“Mm… It was also him that led us to discover this place. He made too much noise while hunting outside…” Yu Shiran replied softly.

“Ha…” Ling Mo’s expression suddenly took on a meaningful depth.

After pondering for a few seconds, he suddenly burst out, “It’s clearly because you all didn’t follow instructions and wandered around everywhere! How else could you have stumbled upon this?”

But since it had already happened, after roaring a couple of sentences, Ling Mo returned his focus to the jellyfish in his hand.

“So, what’s it used for? Feeding milk?”

Seeing Ling Mo looking at her again, Yu Shiran conscientiously answered, “I’m not very sure…”

“…”

“Don’t hit me! I just said I’m not sure, not that I don’t know anything at all.” Yu Shiran quickly dodged back. She was now completely unrestricted, but in this situation, she temporarily had no thoughts of running away again.

“That little monster…” Yu Shiran pointed at the juvenile zombie and said, “He has a straw in his mouth, did you know that?”

“Of course…” Ling Mo nodded.

As Yu Shiran recalled, she continued, “His straw can not only inject his own virus into the bodies of other zombies, but it can also extract something from them…”

“Wait, extract what?” Ling Mo immediately frowned.

Yu Shiran shook her head blankly, “I don’t know that. When I first saw him, he was crawling on the head of another zombie. I thought at first that it was…”

“A zombie mother and child?” Ling Mo interjected.

“Mm…” Yu Shiran nodded, her expression turning strange and her voice even lower, “But after watching for a while, I realized it was not the case at all. He was inserting his straw into that zombie’s head, sucking something. After he finished, that other zombie didn’t even die.”

“Then, he put everything he sucked out into this thing.” Yu Shiran’s eyes burned with intensity as she gazed at the jellyfish and added, “This used to be on top of his head…”

“What?” Ling Mo held the jellyfish, his expression blank.

“We pulled it off when we ambushed him, and he’s been chasing us ever since, leaving this thing in the parking lot. After that…”

“You traded Xiao Bai, leaving it alone to face so many zombies while you took the chance to retrieve this?” Ling Mo interrupted her.

Yu Shiran lowered her eyelids and nodded, twisting her hands together.

Ling Mo looked at the zombie loli for a while, then sighed softly and stuffed the jellyfish into his bag, “Senior Sister is probably done by now, we should leave this place quickly.”

“But Xiao Bai…” Yu Shiran pointed at Xiao Bai.

However, her words were cut off as her eyes widened in shock.

The mutated panda, which had appeared half-dead moments before, suddenly flipped over and climbed to its feet.

Although it didn’t seem fully recovered, it was a completely different creature compared to its previous state.

“You, you, you…” Yu Shiran was so shocked she couldn’t close her mouth.

Ling Mo reached out and rubbed the head of the mutated panda, saying, “I do have some medicines here. Even though it got infected, a bit of strength recovery is still possible.”

“That… just now…” Yu Shiran appeared completely stunned.

“It was just to lure you in.” Ling Mo adjusted his backpack strap and added.

Before Yu Shiran could respond, Ling Mo continued, “However… it’s good that you came to rescue Xiao Bai.”

Yu Shiran seemed still somewhat bewildered as she watched Ling Mo’s retreating figure.

But she did hear the muffled conversation between Shana and Ling Mo that reached her ears—

“If she completely gave up on Xiao Bai, would you have driven her away?” Shana asked.

“Hm?”

“Don’t be like that, give me a straight answer!”

“Hey, Ling Mo!”

After being dazed for a few seconds, Yu Shiran suddenly snapped back to reality and slowly clenched her fists.

“Why did I go rescue Xiao Bai! I could have been happily driven away!” Yu Shiran’s face was full of regret.

“Black Silk, shut up! I don’t want to talk to you right now! What do you mean ‘if I could do it all over again’? If I could do it all over again, I… I probably would…”

“Annoying! Don’t think just because you can get into my head you can do whatever you want!”

“Ah! Don’t pinch my face with my own hand!”

…

“Right.” Ling Mo suddenly turned to look at Shana and asked, “The reason Black Silk has become so bizarre…”

“…”

“Okay, let’s change the subject. How smart has it become?” Ling Mo switched to a question that he found quite perplexing.

After pondering for a moment, Shana said, “Smart enough to curse people out.”

“Like?” Ling Mo was instantly intrigued. 𝐟re𝚎𝘄𝚎𝐛𝚗o𝚟el.c𝐨𝚖

“Woof!” Shana softly imitated, and with a pair of pitiful eyes stared at Ling Mo, almost as if she was ready to reach out a paw.

“Although that’s cute… what does it mean?” Ling Mo asked, puzzled.

“What a bunch of foolish humans. Just act a bit pitiful in appearance and you can completely fool them… Hehehehe.”

Shana’s expression instantly turned grim, and her tone became weirdly sing-song, especially jarring while she maintained that pitiable look. The stark contrast made it all the more eerie.

Ling Mo had a conflicted stare with Shana for a while, moved his lips, and then managed to say, “That’s loaded with meaning.”

“Right?! …Actually, it’s all just chatter.” Shana’s expression quickly returned to normal within a second, and as she shook her head in reflection, she started walking forward.

“Is… that so?”

Ling Mo frowned, turned his head, and shone his flashlight on Yu Shiran’s neck again.

That scarf… could it actually be a chatterbox?

…

Two minutes later, Ling Mo and his group saw the exit.

They must be at least a couple of streets away from the cell phone mall by now. Mu Chen and the others wouldn’t be able to find this place.

“But… we need to give them some kind of signal.”

Ling Mo reached into his bag and pulled out a small, round object, then took the lead crawling out through the exit.
