Chapter 34 Zombie World 13
Chapter Thirty-Four
This thought made her tense. Could it be that this world has already researched mental power? If so, then they must have seen her when she was throwing knives, so their confidence in coming to find her must mean they have something to counter mental power?
Lin Xia pondered for a while, realizing that the analysis must be done using those machines, and the experience would be completely different from having it herself. Moreover, what was their limit? Was 60 mental energy enough? If not, she could add more!
The most important thing now is to figure out what kind of monster this one with spiritual power is, and to what extent that song can affect me, but since it can affect me, its spiritual power is at least no less than mine, or even higher.
But Lin Xia was also a little excited, after all, her understanding of mental power was still too limited.
At 5 a.m., everyone got up to eat and drink, and continued on their way.
The journey was remarkably smooth, but this very smoothness only fueled my unease, especially with all the broken glass cases along the way, and the monster nowhere to be seen...
They could already see the helipad Dr. Ma had mentioned, but just then, a melodious song drifted over, and Lin Xia thought to herself, "Finally, we've arrived."
Everyone looked somewhat uneasy; after all, hearing singing in such a place was clearly abnormal.
But the helipad was right in front of them, and there was no way back. They couldn't give up halfway, so they gritted their teeth and kept going. On the left side of the road, next to the glass cabinet, appeared a figure with a human body and a fish tail.
"A mermaid?!" someone exclaimed.
As soon as the singing stopped, the sound of a baby crying rang out, slightly shrill. The mermaid with the graceful back turned around and looked at them angrily.
Upon seeing what was in front of her, Lin Xia's heart trembled. A large gash had been cut open in her stomach, revealing an infant zombie inside. The little zombie was opening its mouth and biting hard at the mermaid's belly, and the umbilical cord connecting the two could be vaguely seen.
Seeing the irregular bite marks around her stomach, it was clear that they were all from the baby zombie. It had no teeth, yet its mouth was full of black blood and bits of flesh.
Lin Xia's gaze shifted upwards. This girl was truly stunning; to describe her beauty to the point of being angelic. If she hadn't suffered all that, her life might have held so many more possibilities. What a pity...
Beside the mermaid, glass shattered, and the monster inside remained motionless. One of her hands was stuck in the monster's body, and in a short while, the monster became shriveled and withered.
The mermaid turned around, her hands still covered in bits of flesh, her fingernails over twenty centimeters long, her face icy cold: "You woke my child, you deserve to die!"
Lin Xia quickly exchanged for a [Basic Protection Shield] card and used it.
A high-pitched scream rang out, and everyone covered their heads. Lin Xia also felt her temples throbbing, and then the scene before her eyes changed.
When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on an experimental table, unable to struggle. She saw Dr. Ma, who was wearing a protective suit, inserting a syringe into her stomach. Only then did she realize that she was different.
Her belly was swollen, as if she were pregnant. When the needle was inserted, her whole body ached, as if even her bones were hurting. Lin Xia felt her mind go blank, and the pain was unbearable.
But then the baby in her belly started to roll around, and her body changed. She wanted to cover her head; it hurt so much... But she was strapped to the lab table and couldn't move at all. She couldn't even faint.
After an unknown amount of time, her body calmed down, the pain subsided, and she saw Dr. Ma's ecstatic expression.
As she calmed down, Lin Xia gradually regained consciousness. She understood that this was the mermaid's experience, but even though she was awake, she didn't know how to break free. Her spiritual power surged as she searched for a solution.
But it hurt so much, it really hurt so much, and her mental focus kept getting interrupted...
As she felt it, Dr. Ma first cut open her stomach and saw that the fetus had turned into a zombie. She felt the original owner's overwhelming hatred. Yes, at this moment, the original owner's consciousness was still intact.
Watching him modify her body, forcibly cutting off her lower half and attaching a fishtail to her, a strange change occurred in the original owner's mind. Lin Xia, who had already thought of a way to break free, abruptly stopped.
She sensed that fluctuation, the budding of spiritual power, which was very similar to when she awakened her spiritual abilities. Now, her body had been modified and could withstand this budding.
The difference is that she awakened her mental power with the help of the system, while this girl awakened her mental power amidst endless pain and torment, and through the transformation by the virus.
Lin Xia sensed the changes in her spiritual power, but suddenly the process seemed to be cut off. Lin Xia knew that the mermaid did not want others to feel her power.
At that moment, all she could feel was hatred, an overwhelming hatred that almost scorched her reason.
Lin Xia quickly escaped and left the illusion. The hatred she felt was beyond her capacity to bear; it was an extreme emotion she had never experienced before.
As soon as she regained consciousness, she saw the mermaid reach out her claws at her several times, but failed to break through the protective shield. Lin Xia instantly woke up, a crimson glint flashing in her eyes. She realized something was wrong, and with a thought, she exchanged 5 physique cards and 10 mental power cards for them and used them!
After calming down from the intense hatred he had just felt, the fireball in his hand flew out instantly and hit the mermaid.
The mermaid screamed as she was burned, her tail lashing out to get away from Lin Xia. Her sharp claws pierced through the people she passed by, sucking them dry in an instant.
Lin Xia pursed her lips. Although she was truly pitiful, she was now indeed a monster, a man-eating monster.
She brandished her long sword, blocking the sharp claws that were about to stab her. Fireballs were launched frequently, preventing her from getting close to others. Soon, the mermaid was forced back.
She raised her head and let out a long howl, and a surge of spiritual energy rushed toward Lin Xia. Lin Xia dodged with incredible speed. She didn't know how to attack with spiritual energy, and if she made contact rashly, she would definitely be the one to suffer.
This shriek woke up those who had been trapped in the illusion, causing them to cough up blood. Their eyes were bloodshot, revealing astonishing hatred and pain.
Ji Wei stood there stunned for a while, then suddenly took out a harmonica and started playing. The melodious music echoed in the passageway.
The people who had been attacking each other stopped, the bloodshot in their eyes slowly fading, and they all squatted down, panting and holding their heads.
Backup successful: 1 Soothing Harmonica backup, requires 1000 Survival Points.
[Soothing Harmonica: Excellent for soothing mental damage and calming emotions; uses: 10]
The mermaid was also stunned for a moment, but her hatred ran too deep, her pain could not be erased, and a deeper hatred flashed in her eyes. She stared at Ji Wei, a tear of blood streaming down her face, as if to say, why didn't anyone save her...
Lin Xia's grip on the knife tightened...
