Chapter 485 – The best part has yet to come
Editor: Zephyr04 Translator: Jhung
At this moment, Li Hao only wanted to stall for time in hopes that his companions who might have survived to join him, or at least let him catch his breath a little!
“A good bait is required for the prey to introduce the nest. How else am I supposed to enjoy playing with you if everyone died at the beginning?”
Old Tang looked completely unaffected by the pain. He leaned on the container and stared at Li Hao with squinted eyes, “Oh yes, let me tell you something for free. Those two teammates of yours… have already gone first to greet death. No matter how much you wait, no one will come to rescue you.”
“You! Damn it!”
The blue veins on Li Hao’s forehead suddenly popped out, and the last trace of hope in his heart was also obliterated.
“Sure enough, those movements just now…”
“But only a few minutes have passed! Was the strength gap between the two sides so big?!”
“Hehe, you don’t need to be so arrogant. I think you were probably more upset than me when your companion died, no?”
Li Hao coldly sneered while thinking anxiously.
But after thinking about it, he had been completely reduced to a commander without any soldiers. What else could he do besides desperately fighting until the end?
Even if he wanted to escape, Ling Mo wouldn’t let him…
“Huh?”
Ling Mo, who he thought would be irritated, said in surprise, “What do you mean by this? Ohhhh…” He prolonged the ending, blinking those ridiculously squinty eyes, and said, “I think you guys probably made a mistake. I feel so embarrassed now. I made you guys feel so proud of something you didn’t do for so long…”
Although his mouth claimed that he was embarrassed, his tone was so arrogant that Li Hao wanted to smash his head!
He already understood deep down that since Old Tang could become such a physical puppet, the so-called “companion” of Ling Mo’s might have also been the same!
They were complete and utter fools!
From the beginning to the end, they didn’t even touch a single hair on Ling Mo and his group!
“Don’t be so smug! I doubt you have much spiritual power left after doing so many things. Your main body hasn’t even shown up. Isn’t it because you’re afraid of me?”
Li Hao tried to see something from Ling Mo’s reaction, but the other party smiled and said, “No, no, no… it’s because the best part has yet to come.”
“Best part? Haha… Don’t think that I’m the same as them. If you want to kill me, it’s not going to be that easy!” Li Hao roared ferociously.
Ling Mo was even more surprised and asked, “Really? But didn’t I already succeed?”
“What do you mean?!”
The baby hairs on Li Hao’s body immediately stood up straight, and he nervously sensed the changes around him.
But it was at this moment, Old Tang’s eyes suddenly widened as much as they could
and started to become a bit bloodshot.
Through Li Hao’s horrified gaze, those eyes that were originally no different from a normal person had turned into a blood-red color that was the same as that of a zombie!
This scene was even more creepy using the night vision goggles!
“The clues are pretty obvious. Unless your IQ died like your teammates, I don’t think I need to explain more.”
‘Old Tang’ stared at him with those blood-red eyes and said sarcastically.
Li Hao’s mouth opened, wearing a shocked expression on his face.
After a while, he suddenly felt a chill jump up from the bottom of his feet and penetrate his entire body instantly!
His injured hand shivered involuntarily…
“Old Tang had been turned into a zombie and I was injured by him…”
“AHHHHHHH!”
Li Hao shivered violently all over, staring at his wrist, and his mind went blank!
From the moment the zombie blood touched his wound, those viruses would rush into his body frantically.
After a while, these terrifying things would then parasitize the cells of his body and rapidly multiply.
This process can be very short or can take more than twenty minutes, and it varies from person to person.
But no matter how long the process is, the end result is always the same.
He was already infected and would irreversibly become a zombie!
Ling Mo was right, he was already dead…
He had been played to death without even noticing it.
He stared at the bloodshot eyes and suddenly pulled the trigger, “Go to hell!”
ROAR*
Old Tang’s eyes suddenly became extremely violent. He stretched out with his arms but was knocked to the ground by a bullet on the spot.
At that moment, Li Hao sensed a spiritual fluctuation which left Old Tang.
“He’s over there!”
Li Hao immediately rushed towards the direction where the spiritual fluctuation left and that was where Ling Mo’s main body was.
“This bastard treated my entire team like monkeys… I can’t let him get away with this!”
Huff* Huff*
Li Hao desperately chased forward and as his blood circulation became faster, he started to feel the mutation.
If Ling Mo didn’t have that strange controlling ability, he might still have some hope.
At least there would still be a chance for him to kill Ling Mo and his team even if he mutated!
But now… the moment he mutates, it would be completely impossible!
His ability at this time has also become a burden instead.
Spiritual fluctuations seemed to be everywhere and whizzed by him from time to time.
“WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!? GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!”
Li Hao’s roar echoed in the underground level.
BANG!
Li Hao suddenly froze all over. His spiritual ball of light had been pierced by a spiritual tentacle.
As a spiritual-type psychic, his spiritual ball of light should have been indestructible.
But in the panic, resentment, and crazy pursuit, he had gradually lost his mind, leaving it defenseless.
A large amount of spiritual power poured into Ling Mo’s mind along the spiritual tentacles. In front of Li Hao, a thin figure gradually walked out of the darkness.
Li Hao persistently kept his eyes open through the extreme pain, trying to get a clear look of the man’s face.
His hand holding the gun trembled desperately, but because his spiritual power was absorbed, he had also lost control of his body.
He didn’t have the strength to shoot again…
DANG!
When the pistol landed on the ground, Ling Mo finally walked up to him.
This man was the person that destroyed his two teams, completely ruining his life and career. He was in his early twenties, his eyes were bright, and the corners of his mouth contained a smirk that looked very relaxed.
This expression of his, in this broken world, looked so out of place…
Didn’t he have any pain of a loved one leaving him or even becoming a zombie?
That kind of feeling was enough to drive many people to the brink of collapse. Even if they smiled every day, their heart was probably in extreme pain.
And it was because of this painful experience that most of them became so twisted…
Especially ordinary survivors like him. They wouldn’t be normal if they didn’t have an expression of bitter hatred!
Life outside was much harder than in a place like the Air Force Regiment!
“That smile of his looks really irritating…”
Li Hao’s body swayed for a moment as he placed one hand on Ling Mo’s shoulder.
He could only stop himself from collapsing, nothing more. He didn’t even have the strength to harm a single hair on Ling Mo’s body.
“You…”
Li Hao stared at him with a pair of eyes that were gradually becoming blood-red, and as his consciousness gradually began to blur, he squeezed out a sentence with great difficulty, “You’ll… die in… our hands sooner or later.”
Ling Mo glanced at Li Hao, and suddenly moved forward. He whispered in Li Hao’s ear, “Hehe… Actually, I’m going to use you and let you personally destroy that little nest of yours. How does it sound? Aren’t you excited?”
“YOU!”
Li Hao’s pupils suddenly shrank, his hand gripped Ling Mo’s clothes, but his mouth could only make a strange gurgling noise.
That relaxed smile was engraved in his eyes like this and would forever remain in his memory, along with his mutating body, as well as the feeling of his spiritual power being quickly swallowed…
When all of Li Hao’s spiritual power was absorbed, his body also turned into a zombie.
However, just before his mutation became complete, Ling Mo had already taken control of him.
With his previous experience in controlling the man with the peaked cap, Ling Mo was able to control this new corpse puppet with ease. He controlled the puppet’s hand to rise up, squeezing his stiff and distorted face.
“Fortunately, your face usually looks like a dead person’s. I won’t need to worry about being exposed if I don’t beat your face in. But this expression…”
Ling Mo squeezed his chin, looking at it carefully for a while, then suddenly squeezed his fist and shook his wrist, “On second thought, it might be better to put on a little makeup. Get ready now…. One… three!
BANG!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
