Chapter 499 – The Sudden Darkness
Editor: Zephyr04 Translator: Jhung
Huu!
As the cold wind blew over, the grass immediately swayed and shook.
The weather had become unusual after the apocalypse. Not only that, but the vegetation growth speed also seemed to have undergone some changes.
These weeds would grow wildly as soon as the weather became warm.
In order to defend against the zombies, the Air Force regiment cleared out an empty strip near the airport about 20 meters wide.
But even on this empty strip, some weeds have emerged again. It seems that it only takes a few days for it to grow up to someone’s knees.
However, it wasn’t just the weeds only. Other plants were also growing at alarming speeds.
It’s just that this type of plant could be seen everywhere and was very resilient, making it easy to remember.
This change seems to have been brought by drastic changes in the environment, but no one can clearly say whether it’s related to the virus or not.
The so-called “apocalypse” seems to be just the beginning. The series of chain reactions was eroding the world bit by bit. It was turning the world into a jungle more suitable for fighting.
However, there are always two sides to everything, and for humans, there were also benefits to this change.
Now that a few months have passed since the apocalypse broke out, the food available in the city was rapidly dwindling.
Those places where food still existed were now places most humans avoided going to.
The gathering area of the mutant zombies in X-City was a perfect example. Even if you were to go to that place, the losses you would encounter would most definitely outweigh the gains.
Therefore, it was extremely urgent to resume the production of food.
And among the humans, the Falcons were doing the best. Not only were they able to produce food in their isolation zone, but they also had factories for some daily necessities.
Although not all the factories can be resumed, it’s still a good start.
“Yeah... they produce, I rob.”
Ling Mo had already turned his attention back to his main body at this moment. His thoughts drifted away as he listened to the sounds of the whistling wind and the swaying grass.
Although these human forces seem to have nothing to do with him on the surface, they all somehow find a way to establish a connection with him. Even the Air Force regiment unknowingly built a sort of connection with him.
“This was really unintentional... but it’s still a good thing for me. Ugh, I consumed so much spiritual power today. Unfortunately, I couldn’t devour any of it back. It seems that even the Air Force regiment doesn’t have many spiritual psychics...”
Currently, Ling Mo has divided all the psychics he has met into three categories: Elemental, Strengthening, and Spiritual.
The Elemental type was someone like Yu Wen Xuan, who could make flames appear out of thin air. The Strengthening type was someone like Lucy, whose physical strength was greatly enhanced.
Although these abilities could split into three categories, the significance of these classifications wasn’t too great since everyone’s abilities were different.
If you knew the type of psychic your opponent was, you would at most have a very rough concept of them.
For example, two spiritual-type psychics have similar abilities, but each person’s use of spiritual energy was very different.
And towards these three types of psychics, Ling Mo himself wasn’t quite sure about the proportions.
After all, it was hard for him to get information, and there was a limit to what he could learn.
However, judging from the information that Lucy had previously provided him on the psychic members of the F group, there were fewer members with elemental and spiritual abilities.
Especially the elemental psychics. Their numbers were even less than the spiritual type psychics.
“I also don’t know if there are other types, such as an ability that I can’t even explain... But would that kind of ability still be called an ability? Then again, everyone’s awakened ability is completely random. From the perspective of talents, my skills can be considered moderate, right? But any ability can become powerful as long as it’s able to develop well...”
If one were to look at Ling Mo’s initial puppet ability alone, his ability was indeed not very powerful.
He was able to control zombies to do his bidding, but his body was considerably weak.
And from controlling these zombies, he also developed his current spiritual tentacles to what it is now by establishing a spiritual connection with them.
Ling Mo was a psychic that constantly improved his puppet skills. At first, he could only control his puppet’s actions with the help of the thread that connected with his hand. However, as his strength became more powerful, not only could he control more puppets, but he could also directly use the thread to kill people or use it to do more complicated things.
However, no matter how strong his abilities developed, he was still fundamentally a psychic that controlled puppets.
“There were many psychics stronger than me in the beginning, but there is a saying that there is no superior ability, only a superior method.”
While Ling Mo was thinking this, he suddenly felt a little weird.
The wind around him seems to have stopped?
In addition, the sky seemed to have darkened quickly. It was still dusky just a few moments ago, but now it seemed like a few hours had passed in an instant and suddenly entered the middle of the night.
Stepping on the steel rope between life and death every day, although Ling Mo kept a relaxed and happy mentality, his perception of danger has cultivated into instinct.
He let go of his arms that were behind his head and slowly sat up.
“MEIGRR!”
“Shhh.” Ling Mo reached out and patted Xiao Bai’s big head.
Being touched by a human so casually, the mutant panda covered its eyes with its paws and rolled over in shame.
But when it rolled halfway, it bumped into a pair of long legs.
As soon as it lowered its paw, the mutant panda’s eyes showed a hint of horror, “Mei... Mei...”
But before it could even let out a scream, Shana had already kicked it back.
“Guu!”
The mutant panda shook its head, climbed back up, and quietly hid behind Yu Shi Ran.
Although it was usually violent, the oppressive power that Dark Shana brings to it has always made it terrified of this long-haired girl.
Ling Mo would definitely say a few words usually, but now, he was staring around with a solemn expression on his face.
Like Ling Mo, these female zombie leaders also seemed to sense something.
There was silence all around them, but there seemed to be something staring at them in the grass.
Even the sounds of insects have disappeared.
The darkness seemed to gather from all directions, and soon this area turned as dark as ink.
If other people were in this kind of situation, they would have inevitably felt that they were all alone.
But Ling Mo and his party had a spiritual connection with each other, so although everyone was a little puzzled, no one panicked.
Ling Mo narrowed his eyes vigilantly. From the moment he realized that something was wrong, to the point where he couldn’t even see his fingers, it had only been a few seconds.
In addition, Ling Mo felt a powerful spiritual fluctuation right as darkness completely fell.
But just when he was about to send out his spiritual tentacles, the situation in front of him suddenly changed drastically.
“This...”
After a brief period of darkness, the sky reappeared again and had changed into a blood-red color.
And Ling Mo, who was clearly supposed to be in the wilderness, suddenly appeared in a dirty alley at this time.
The ground was full of dirty unknown objects, and he could only see a narrow patch of the sky above him.
This sudden change in scenery gave Ling Mo a vague sense of familiarity...
“Where did I see this before?... Oh, right!”
Ling Mo’s mind flashed with realization. No wonder the darkness felt familiar...
This situation was similar to Shana’s spiritual world!
“So then... is this the spiritual world of a spiritual-type psychic? No...”
If Ling Mo and his group were really forcibly pulled into someone’s spiritual world, wouldn’t that mean their physical bodies were defenseless?
When one’s spiritual power enters the spiritual world of another person, their physical body falls into a vegetative state at that moment.
The only reason why Shana was able to pull Ling Mo into her world was because of a golden opportunity.
And that success was based on Ling Mo’s spiritual connection with her.
In addition, Ling Mo’s spiritual strength was already powerful enough. It was impossible for someone to drag him into a spiritual world without a fight.
“Sure enough, this is still my body... Then what’s happening here? Did the other party move the spiritual world into the real world?”
Ling Mo felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him and quickly figured out a few things.
This guy that suddenly attacked them was also an illusionist.
But compared to the long-haired youth from before, this person was obviously much more powerful.
He didn’t distort his opponent’s vision, nor did he affect their spiritual power, but instead, he directly released his spiritual world to cover Ling Mo and his group like a hood.
