Chapter 1522: Chapter 1537: Fighting Zombies

"What on earth are these things!"

Lin Mu looked in astonishment at these creatures that hardly resembled humans. Suddenly, Lin Mu noticed their eyes.

All of them were hollow and soulless! Damn, what’s going on?

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible for someone’s eyes to be completely hollow and soulless unless they’re blind. Otherwise, your eyes should carry some of your emotions. Yet, these people’s eyes had no emotion whatsoever! Not a trace, as if they were the living dead.

The living dead! Yes, that’s the feeling they gave to the Wolf Fang Four Brothers.

"These people seem to have no souls!" Earth Wolf said, frowning.

"Hmm!" Lin Mu nodded and said, "Moreover, their life force is extremely weak, yet they feel very dangerous!"

"This... it kind of resembles what the Xiangxi corpse drivers used to play with!" Golden Wolf said.

"Xiangxi corpse drivers?"

"Yes, those who drive corpses, what normal people would call zombies. However, those people used some techniques to stimulate the nerves of the corpses. Although the corpses had no consciousness, they could perform actions like jumping according to the corpse drivers’ instructions. The people in front of us are clearly not dead, yet they give me the same feeling as those dead people!" Earth Wolf said, "To me, these people are more like something evolved from the ancient Gu poisons."

"What thing?" Golden Wolf asked.

"Mutants," Gray Wolf said. "Back then, in Miaojiang, someone discovered a kind of poisonous insect that could crawl into people’s brains and control some of their behaviors. Of course, it wasn’t anything mystical; at most, it made your limbs stiff or sometimes made you perform actions you didn’t intend. Later, those Gu Masters cultivated these insects specifically to control people. Eventually, this technique spread to Thailand and became known as Black Magic. We call those controlled people mutants. They have consciousness but are manipulated by others. However, because this thing was too evil and difficult to practice, the technique slowly became lost. I only saw it mentioned in family records."

"So are these people the same as mutants?" Lin Mu asked.

"Hmm, if they truly are mutants and their bodies are this strong, they will be hard to deal with!" Earth Wolf said seriously.

"I can tell," Lin Mu said with a serious expression. "Their muscles seem to be specially treated, containing immense strength. That power is dangerous even for me."

"Indeed!" Golden Wolf said. "And there are many of them!"

Lin Mu nodded and looked at the vehicle.

About forty people with bluish-purple skin came out of the vehicle. Although their appearances differed, they all seemed hollow-eyed, as if from excessive indulgence, and each was incredibly strong, barefoot, not even wearing shoes—truly like a group of monsters!

Suddenly, Lin Mu recalled something. During the previous confrontation with Jinye’s forces, Jinye had collaborated with the Jushi Association to develop a DNA-catalyzing enzyme. When ordinary people consumed this potion, they instantly turned into zombie-like creatures, much like what we see now.

"Everyone be careful; these people have consumed the mutant potion. Their bodies are no different from zombies, so don’t clash with them directly!" Lin Mu warned.

"What? Mutants?" Golden Wolf, being a monk, wasn’t much in touch with worldly affairs and didn’t fully grasp Lin Mu’s meaning.

"Mutants have always been an international taboo!" Lin Mu said. "It’s clear these people drank an optimized DNA-catalyzing enzyme, causing their bodies to mutate. Moreover, their consciousness has been erased by some method, leaving only a pure fighting instinct and murderous spirit. This is completely inhumane! If this were exposed to society, it would be a scandal that could devastate the East Asian Island Country!"

As he spoke, Lin Mu quickly took out his phone, but unfortunately, there was no signal! Lin Mu thought for a moment, then activated the phone’s video function, holding it up and pointing the camera at the mutants.

"No wonder we didn’t see anyone on the road!" Gray Wolf, having witnessed the power of mutants before, suddenly realized and nodded, "These things cannot be exposed to the light of day!"

"That’s right!" Lin Mu said, "But this time, we’re in great danger!"

"Hmm?" Earth Wolf and Golden Wolf were momentarily stunned before laughing, "Indeed, it’s dangerous."

"This thing was definitely created by the East Government. Otherwise, no individual or organization could conduct such human modifications. If we record all of this and take it to Huaxia, spreading it online, then the East Government will be in a difficult position, condemned by the entire world! So, there’s no way the Easterners will let us leave the Zushi Association Headquarters alive!" Lin Mu said.

"Hmm!" Gray Wolf nodded and said, "So this time, our enemies are not only the Jushi Association but also the East Government!"

"Hmm, you must admit, Yulin Xiu Fu is quite sinister. Sending these people to fight us, if they kill us, fine. If not, Yulin Xiu Fu can drag the East Government into the water. By then, the entire East will mobilize to hunt us Wolf Fang to the ends of the earth!"

"That’s fate," Golden Wolf said. "Buddha said life and death are predetermined, prosperity is in the heavens. A person’s fate is determined by heaven. If you have bad luck, you can die from a slip. If you’re lucky, you can fall from dozens of floors and survive. We just have to do our best!"

"That’s true." Lin Mu smiled, taking a dagger in hand, with its sharp blade pointing outward, saying, "Looking at these people, they seem to have no emotions, probably no sense of pain either. I wonder what they’ll feel when my blade cuts into them."

"For these types, crucial points are either the head or the heart. Just attack those areas!"

Earth Wolf said, taking off his shirt, throwing it aside, exposing his bulky and muscular upper body to the air.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve fought for my life. Looks like Master Fatty is going to fight to his heart’s content this time!"

"I think so too." Gray Wolf laughed, then they all gathered behind Lin Mu, slowly walking toward the forty-plus mutants. The more than forty people forming two lines after getting off the vehicle.
