Chapter 455 – You got tricked
Staring at the undulating water surface, the expression on Ling Mo’s face gradually became very complicated.
Ten seconds had passed…
One minute passed…
The mutant panda and the body of the mutant python never appeared.
The intentions of the mutant panda were very obvious. It must have believed that it could glide itself directly over the water surface and reach the island.
Unfortunately, the reality was completely different, and it’s heavy weight caused it to drop down in mid-air.
But even if it dropped all the way to the bottom of the lake, it should have quickly floated back up…
“Could it be that… this panda knows how to hold its breath?”
Ling Mo frowned, walked cautiously to the island shore, and looked into the artificial lake.
Although the surface of the water gradually calmed down, Ling Mo knew it was still dangerous inside the green lake.
Ling Mo and his group were out in the open while the mutant panda was hidden in the darkness…
The narrow corridor stood alone on the water surface. Ye Lian and the girls were still standing on the other end.
“No matter how fast we are, it’ll probably take us at least five seconds to reach the island through this corridor. And during this time… what if the panda decides to suddenly jump out of the water and attack us? There isn’t any place to find cover in this corridor…”
Lucy said while calculating, “The mutant panda can easily whip the snake corpse at us and it’s power isn’t something we can go against…”

“Hmph, three seconds is enough. What are you so afraid of? No matter how strong it is, it’s still just a panda.”
Shana stepped forward as her short skirt swayed in the wind.
She carried her scythe and swept her eyes towards the lake. At the same time, Nana slowly walked out of her shadow.
Whether it was their vision or sense of smell, it was temporarily useless since this mutant panda was hiding under the water.
And no one knows how long it could hold its breath…
“Hey, don’t take such risks… Why not just wait until it can’t hold its breath no more?”
Just as Lucy yelled out and subconsciously reached out to grab Shana’s arm, she suddenly felt a chill in her back and stopped moving.
Only Shana was standing in front of her. Ye Lian, Li Yalin, and Yu Shiran were all standing behind Lucy.
But at that moment, she clearly felt another gaze looking at her from the front.
It was as if there was something invisible hidden in the void…
“The opponent is just a big stupid bear. Why should we follow its rhythm?”
Shana snorted coldly and said, “I’m going to pull it out of the water and then turn its eyes into real panda eyes. That’s my style!”
“This style of yours isn’t something to be proud of…Speaking of which, just now, was that an illusion…”
Lucy glanced at Shana suspiciously and nodded to herself, “Yeah, it must have been an illusion. It is probably because I saw too many snakes today so I’m a little nervous… Yes, this is definitely the reason…”
Compared to the speculation that “there is actually an invisible person standing in front of you”, an “illusion” was much easier to accept…
Separated by a corridor, Ling Mo could hardly see the expression on Shana’s face.
“Huh? Why did you suddenly wave your hand? Why did Nana come out all of sudden?”
He squinted his eyes and watched every move on the other side.
When Dark Shana waved, Nana’s spiritual body had already stepped onto the corridor.
“Is it okay for Nana to walk out so casually? Oh… that’s right, I forgot… This panda can’t tell if anyone is on it unless it hears or senses something since it is at the bottom of the water…”
But whether it was Ling Mo, the female zombies, or even Lucy, they all could easily walk stealthy.
Deliberately reducing all movements to the lowest decibel was an essential survival skill that every survivor has mastered.
As for zombies, their attainments in this field were even greater since it was a requirement in order for them to hunt.
“Hearing doesn’t seem very useful… Then… Ah, when this panda attacked me for the first time, didn’t it rely on its senses to find me?”
Ling Mo suddenly realized the problem. No wonder Shana acted without hesitation. It seems that this zombie girl had already noticed this.
“Could her powers of observation have doubled after separating?” Ling Mo was stunned.
After Nana’s spiritual body walked about seven or eight meters, Dark Shana smiled, “Then I’m going now.”
She followed Nana closely, moving very briskly.
Her movements seemed very random, however if you listened carefully, you would notice that her footsteps didn’t make any noises, nor would you hear the sound of her breathing either.
Sneaking was a natural ability that zombies had….
If you weren’t directly looking at her with your eyes, you would have thought that Dark Shana was just a shadow.
“It turns out that this is the reason why zombies are so successful in their sneak attacks… They’re able to greatly reduce their sense of existence in order to achieve the purpose of approaching their prey silently through a series of actions such as holding their breath, tightening their bodies, slowing their heartbeats, and relaxing their footsteps. And in this state, even senses could be deceived. Sure enough, zombies are natural born hunters…”
Even Ling Mo had this kind of illusion that the current Dark Shana would disappear the moment he looked away, let alone the mutant panda…
At this time, under the water…
The light under the water had become very weak after passing through several meters deep.
A huge shadow suddenly passed by, and blood-red eyes could still be seen faintly even in the weak light.
And because it was in the dark, it looked even more frightening.
If someone was under the water at this moment, they would probably be scared to death by the black shadow that suddenly passed by.
“Gurulu…”
Suddenly, the dark shadow hidden in the depths of the lake slowly approached the water surface.
The blood-red eyes opened in the water, following the faint light, seemingly looking towards the water surface.
“BANG!”
The water surface by the corridor suddenly exploded. At the same time, a huge shadow jumped up along with the fountain-like water burst.
“MEIGRR!”
The mutant panda jumped into the air, holding the mutant python in his hand, slamming it towards the corridor with a heavy throw.
However, there was no one standing there!
“MEIGRR?”
The mutant panda’s eyes suddenly dilated, and its round cheeks bulged even more.
Although its face was covered in hair, if it could speak human words, it would have most likely said, “You fuckers tricked me!”
Nana’s spiritual body had attracted all the attention. When the mutant panda came out of the water, Dark Shana was already waving her scythe, jumping high in the air, and Ling Mo’s spiritual tentacles had also shot out.
On the shore, Ye Lian took just one second to aim and shoot!
“BANG!”
The power of a sniper rifle at such a close distance was enormous.
The mutant panda swung around in mid-air and wrapped the mutant python around his body like a bath towel.
Sticky blood exploded, and the unfortunate panda fell heavily into the water along with the bloody mutant python corpse.
A large part of the lake water was immediately dyed red. But the panda didn’t appear even after a series of bubbles showed up on the water surface.
Instead, the mutant python corpse appeared after ten seconds. Not only was there a big hole created by a sniper bullet, but also traces of Ling Mo’s spiritual tentacles and Shana’s slashes.
But judging from the traces, the mutant panda was still alive…
“It’s not dead yet…”
If it were an ordinary mutant beast, this three-sided attack would have blasted it to pieces.
Ling Mo sent out his spiritual tentacles to track inside the lake and caught a spiritual ball of light quickly escaping into the distance.
In the deep and icy lake, the injured mutant panda was swimming forward.
It had a keen sensing ability inside the lake and naturally knew the direction of the water outlet according to the water flow.
The water in this artificial lake wasn’t motionless. It was connected to the large lake at the amusement park through an underground waterway.
Of course, the mutant panda didn’t know this, however its survival instincts were now pushing it to make the right choices.
“Damn it. It actually escaped in this situation…”
Ling Mo frowned, and was about to stop following the panda, but suddenly found that its spiritual ball of light suddenly stopped somewhere…
