Chapter 1180: The Suspicious Mobile Phone
Chapter 1180: The Suspicious Mobile Phone
“It actually ended up like this… With this, there’s no way to see what a Level 1 Host Body looks like. Sigh…” Ling Mo regretfully shifted his gaze away.
Other than that, there was nothing else to be found from this body.
But soon, Ling Mo turned his attention to the corpse of the Niepan captain.
This guy hadn’t started rotting yet… but his whole body looked as if it was covered in black water plants, making him appear rather creepy.
“Just a corpse…” Ling Mo only stared at it for a couple of seconds before walking over without any psychological burden.
“This person’s strength was probably among the best in this squad. According to Niepan’s strict strength-based hierarchy, he was likely a core member, maybe even the captain or some kind of leader…”
As Ling Mo thought this, he used his Tentacle to turn the corpse over.
The Niepan captain’s facial expression was frozen in extreme fear and distortion, but Ling Mo just glanced at it before starting to search the body with his Tentacle. He really didn’t want to know what those tubes pulled out from the body would feel like… Some things are better left unknown forever.
But one thing was certain: this kind of makeshift “Spider Silk” was far inferior to what the Spider Queen used, both in lethality and appearance…
“It really is a madman when it comes to human modification… I wonder what it’s done to its own blood vessels…” Ling Mo couldn’t help but think.
The Spider Queen didn’t come this time… That much could be seen from Liu Yang’s reaction just now.
Though he didn’t know why. But for Ling Mo at this moment, it was a bit of a relief.
Just the Puppets alone were already troublesome enough…
If he ran into the main body, what were his chances of winning?
“Hm? What’s this?”
After some fumbling, Ling Mo finally found something on the Niepan captain’s body.
He immediately focused his attention, carefully using his Tentacle to push aside those blood vessels, revealing the tattered clothes underneath…
“Tsk… A nightmare for anyone with trypophobia…” Ling Mo muttered as he quickly lifted the Niepan captain’s jacket.
Pa…
A sealed plastic bag immediately fell out from his inner pocket, and Ling Mo caught it with his Tentacle.
“This thing…”
Inside, it turned out to be a mobile phone…
If he’d seen it under normal circumstances, Ling Mo probably would have just ignored it.
There weren’t many electronic devices still useful in the Apocalypse, but mobile phones were one of them.
First, as long as there was a Camp, charging wasn’t too hard. Second, whether it was gathering intelligence, observing terrain, or using maps, this little gadget could be handy. Ling Mo himself carried one…
But… why was this thing wrapped in a plastic bag?
And it was wrapped several times over… hidden in such a concealed inner pocket…
“Something’s wrong.”
Ling Mo instantly came to a conclusion, but just as he was about to open it, he suddenly heard a “bang” from upstairs.
“Xia Na and the others!”
He quickly stood up, stuffed the mobile phone into his pocket, and ran toward the stairs.
Actually, he hadn’t fully recovered yet…
But the sound just now was undoubtedly a reminder for Ling Mo…
It was time to meet again.
“The five senses shield is still up… Damn, that means the one upstairs is even harder to deal with!”
Ling Mo was really frustrated… The Spider Queen didn’t come, but it sent a bunch of little spiders!
And these leaders-each one could be considered her!
This was just a small squad. If it were a small Camp… could it hold its own sports meet?
“I just wonder if this kind of Host Body only works on humans… If so, its power expansion is still limited. But once it gains momentum… I guess the whole X City will completely become its domain…” R̃Ã𝐍ƟBЁꞩ
Lord of the City!
Ling Mo suddenly remembered the situation he’d heard about at the Central Region Camp… Survivors from several provinces and cities had gathered together, while everywhere else was full of zombies…
Those places completely overrun by zombies-could that be X City’s future?
Even though there was no such thing as a hometown anymore, Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional…
Humanity… seemed to be getting wiped out bit by bit…
Maybe one day, when all humans are forced into a single place to barely survive, they’ll be on the verge of extinction…
“Will we go extinct…”
Ling Mo couldn’t help but wonder.
At the same time, he had already rushed up to the next floor.
“Huff!”
As soon as Ling Mo reached the entrance to the corridor, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
The entire floor was pitch-black…
When he looked back at the way he came, he found the stairs were slowly being swallowed by darkness.
“As expected, the effect is stronger than before…”
The Level 1 Puppet on this floor had only been distracted before… but now, it was going all out.
The whole floor was its constructed trap. Anyone who walked in would encounter this situation.
“Stella!”
Ling Mo sensed the location of Ye Lian and the others, then called out into the corridor.
He couldn’t hear any sound now… but the Puppet hiding in the darkness could hear everything.
“You seem to be in a hurry…”
A voice suddenly sounded in Ling Mo’s ear. He immediately used his Tentacle to guard his surroundings, but there was no movement at all in the darkness.
“It’s being amplified right next to my ear.” Ling Mo quickly realized. Who knows where the other party was hiding, but her voice could reach Ling Mo’s ear with precision.
“What’s there to be anxious about?” Ling Mo replied calmly, slowly walking forward.
“Otherwise, why would you come up immediately, knowing it’s a trap? You care a lot about my kind…” After the Host Body became female, her tone hadn’t changed at all. Dead serious, no emotional fluctuation.
“Yeah, I care.” Ling Mo continued talking to the Puppet. In this pitch-black environment, he had no idea where the other party was, but he could eventually pinpoint her location through Ye Lian and the others…
But what surprised Ling Mo was that Xia Na and Li Yalin were both concentrated in one room… but Ye Lian was on the move.
She was moving slowly, and right in front of Ling Mo…
So… would the trap be on the left or right?
Ling Mo’s nerves instantly tensed up…
“I’ve been observing you since you came in…”
The Puppet suddenly started talking about something unrelated: “Believe it or not… maybe because I have the memories of two Researchers, I consider myself… very observant… but…”
