Chapter 824: This Is Too Brutal for Me to Watch
“What a strong smell…” The others couldn’t help but step back, but Ling Mo suddenly froze. He stared intently at this “blood vessel,” and in his mind, countless images of blood strands flickering appeared.
“Could this be…” Ling Mo thought as he pulled a Tactical Knife from his leg. Under the surprised and shocked gazes of everyone, he crouched down. He suppressed his nausea and forcefully picked the “blood vessel” out from the rubble. To everyone’s astonishment, the “blood vessel” appeared to be rotting, yet it still strangely retained a strong toughness. As he lifted it, it didn’t break, and instead, many bricks and debris slipped away from its surroundings.
“What is this? A tendon?” Mu Chen mumbled.
Old Lan enthusiastically said, “No, no, your understanding of ‘tendon’ is incorrect… The so-called ‘tendon’ includes concepts like muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, etc… But I don’t think this thing looks like a blood vessel, nor could it be a ligament… In my experience, even variation zombies at the Progenitor level couldn’t reach this level of strength… I’ve even dissected a dominant-level zombie corpse, but I’ve never encountered this situation. According to Ling Mo’s classification, that zombie should be called a dominant level zombie…”
“This is fascinating. What could it possibly be?” Old Lan involuntarily took a step forward, murmuring.
“You’re the one pretending to explain it all! Tsk, I thought you’d have the answers, but you don’t know either…” Mu Chen grumbled, casting a dissatisfied glance at Old Lan.
Xu Shuhan, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly shivered. Her expression behind the mask turned somewhat strange. She stared unblinkingly at the “blood vessel,” her lips slightly pursed.
Ling Mo ignored the discussion between Mu Chen and the others. Instead, he frowned and peered into the rubble. Although the toughness of this “blood vessel” surprised him, considering the strange traits of the humanoid Black Widow, he didn’t find it too surprising. This thing was like her spider silk; even after being detached from her main body, it still retained some of her characteristics. However, when he compared it with his memories, he suddenly felt a sense of oddity.
“It seems that this battle also caused her significant harm. So, when I saw her later, could she still have been in a weakened state?” Ling Mo thought as he used the knife to lift it up again. “This Tentacle has been severed for quite a while, yet it’s still so tough. If she were in her full strength, it should be several times stronger than it is now, right? Mu Chen and the others encountered her back then, and given their combat abilities… it’s highly likely she was in a weakened state then!”
