My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Behind the Rosen Company’s building lies an empty piece of land, and further back is a wall and a green belt. On both sides, there is also a row of houses, which, judging from the open doors, are almost completely empty.

Therefore, Ling Mo focused his attention entirely on finding the back door of the building. Letting two Zombie Puppets in through the same place was obviously not wise… and indeed, his assumption turned out to be correct…

As soon as the Zombie Puppets reached the back of the building, Ling Mo immediately noticed an Iron Door and two levels of steps. More importantly, the door was open!

But before he got closer, the Zombie Puppets had already made a new discovery… there seemed to be something in the building’s drainage ditch…

Ling Mo carefully controlled the Zombie Puppets to walk over and looked down into the ditch.

In the dark, murky water floated some leaves and debris blown in from who knows where, and it emitted a very strange foul smell, pungent enough to make one feel nauseated when getting closer.

While it didn’t affect the Zombie Puppets, Ling Mo’s own body couldn’t help but feel a bit queasy.

“Could this be the source of the olfactory interference?” Ling Mo thought as he covered his nose and looked inside.

As he got closer to the water’s surface, a shadow seemed to appear in the water.

Ling Mo glanced back, stepped out a few paces to break a tree branch, and then returned to the side of the ditch.

This scene was actually quite odd… a fearsome zombie earnestly holding a twig and carefully reaching it into the water… To avoid accidentally breaking the branch, Ling Mo used only two fingers, doubling the oddity instantly…

The branch was barely five centimeters into the water when Ling Mo felt he had nudged something. Applying a little force…

“Splash.”

With a soft sound, something immediately floated up from the bottom of the water.

“Whoa!”

Ling Mo almost dropped the branch in shock, stepping back involuntarily.

A corpse… There was a corpse soaking in the water!

If it were just a corpse, it would be one thing, but the state of this corpse was exceptionally gruesome.

His face was pockmarked with bite wounds, which had swollen and turned pale in the water, and a considerable amount of black water was flowing out of his decayed eye sockets. His lips were long gone, and his body below the neck seemed riddled with holes…

Ling Mo thought for a moment, then resolutely thrust the branch deeper, decisively probing to the bottom.

“Alright…”

Inside here, there was indeed more than one corpse…

Moreover, judging by the depth of the drain, these bodies were dismembered before being thrown in here.

“Who turned this place into a Trash Can…”

These corpses resembled food scraps in their fate. Based on the wounds, Ling Mo felt the resident here must be a picky eater, something like – “If I evolve, I’ll kill two Low-Level Zombies each meal, eat one, and discard the other, but not before taking a bite…”

During his observation, Ling Mo failed to notice another matter…

The half-open Iron Door began to silently shift, gradually widening…

“Not good news either…” Ling Mo sighed, tossed the branch aside, and stood up.

Yet, just as the branch hit the water, creating ripples, his eyes caught a fleeting reflection… And this turned out to be the last scene observed by the Zombie Puppet… ℞𝘈ℕΟВЁ𝒮

“Damn!”

Ling Mo broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

Despite his quick reflexes, his temple experienced a sudden throbbing pain.

Fortunately, his psychic power was expended yet again, averting another “death experience.”

Ling Mo didn’t want to die, not even to experience it vicariously… He had far too many responsibilities to bear.

After several seconds, the only thing he could think of was –

“Damn!”

His Zombie Puppet was wiped out just like that!

Or even if it wasn’t completely wiped out, it was undoubtedly on the brink of expiring!

How had the opponent gotten so close? He was constantly on guard!

The fact that this happened could only mean one thing… The opponent was much stronger than his Zombie Puppet, so much so that he didn’t even know how he died! Ling Mo prided himself on his high level of vigilance; even if his senses weren’t as keen as a Senior Zombie’s, they were surely far beyond his current level of evolution. Yet, even so, he was taken down without any awareness or ability to resist.

If he hadn’t been facing the drainage ditch, he might not have even seen that shadow…

“This is way too dangerous!” Ling Mo was left speechless.

Although he had a bad feeling before taking action, it all happened too quickly!

“Xia Na!”

The first thing Ling Mo did after snapping back to reality was shift his focus to Ye Lian and the three girls.

With a change in perspective, Ling Mo saw the building from a different angle, and it was from a rather high position…

They were on the rooftop!

Realizing this, Ling Mo immediately looked back toward the drainage ditch.

Only about ten seconds had passed, so maybe he could see what kind of creature had attacked…

However, the result was still…

“Damn!”

It was gone! No sign of the ambusher, and even his Zombie Puppet was missing!

The back of the building returned to that eerie calm, and there seemed to be no bloodstains on the ground.

From here, he could also see a corner of the Iron Door, indicating it was still open.

But at this moment, to Ling Mo, it looked like a gaping maw ready to swallow him whole…

“Should I give it another try?” Ling Mo thought for a moment and then made a decisive decision.

While he wasn’t significantly affected, he had been ambushed!

To suffer such a loss and just let it go wasn’t Ling Mo’s style!

Moreover, the more dangerous it was, the more necessary it was to investigate thoroughly; otherwise, how would he collect supplies later?

From a different perspective, this situation could actually be seen as a good thing… At least this way, the interior might not be too severely damaged. The chances of the equipment being intact and operational could continuously increase…

The Master Ball perched atop the guard room shifted slightly. A psychic tentacle extended from it as a relay station, reaching out to the distant Zombies… A minute later, another Zombie appeared at the back of the building.

This time, it walked directly through the Iron Door…

The Master Ball remained stationary, as it felt a strong aversion to the building, and Ling Mo was cautious not to let it venture in recklessly. For humans, capturing a Master Ball is difficult, but for Zombies, it can be easily snatched up…

In essence, the Master Ball was more of a food scavenger…

“Ye Lian, you all wait a moment…” Ling Mo instructed.

“Why do we have to wait…” Yalin squatted weakly on the ground, hugging her knees and pouting, “I really want to!”

Meanwhile, Xia Na kept her eyes fixed on the building, her eyes flashing with black and red hues…

“Yalin, don’t say things that can be misunderstood…”

“Let’s wait…” Ye Lian, holding her gun, blinked her big eyes and said.

She then looked toward the building with a touch of concern in her voice, “I wonder… what’s happening in there…”

Inside the two-story building, Yuwen Xuan, who occasionally glanced back, gave Ling Mo an extra look.

A peculiar expression flashed across his usually manic face, followed by a soft sigh…

“What is it?” Mu Chen asked keenly.

Yuwen Xuan quickly averted his gaze and grinned, “Haha, it’s nothing! How about a card game?”@@novelbin@@

“Your thoughts jump around so much…” Mu Chen wanted to press further, but Yuwen Xuan’s sudden topic shift caught him off guard.

“Well, we are just passing the time after all…”

“Keep a good watch, can’t you see Ling Mo is working seriously…”

“Ahaha…”

…”Creak…”

As Ling Mo slowly closed the Iron Door, the faint noise quickly faded away.

Standing in the narrow passage, even the slightest sound was significantly amplified, making Ling Mo’s heart race with anxiety for a while…

His other Zombie Puppet had completely entered the hall and was moving slowly along the wall’s edge. Judging by the distance sensed through the psychic link… the distance between the two Zombie Puppets was over thirty meters. However, that’s just the straight-line distance, and they’d need to take quite a detour to meet up.

“Traces…”

After closing the door, Ling Mo’s field of vision turned entirely blood-red.

He squatted down and closely examined the ground, quickly finding an inconspicuous trail… drag marks, indicating that his Zombie Puppet was likely dragged along this trace. But this didn’t mean the current Zombie Puppet was safe; in such a narrow Corridor, the opponent could easily take him out even without an ambush…

However, if there was an opportunity for a frontal confrontation, Ling Mo would actually look forward to it. At least it would let him gain some understanding of his opponent, rather than being completely in the dark as he was now.

As for the lost Zombie Puppet… one Zombie Puppet was gone, but he still had hundreds of others waiting outside…

“Come on, I can afford to die,” Ling Mo thought boldly.

But this thought quickly drew an inexplicable voice in his mind: “Come, hurry…”

“Damn it! Why add to the confusion now!” Ling Mo said angrily.

That pesky Black Widow…

“Once I’m done with the Base, we’ll see how I handle you! But wait… it’s probably you handling me…” Ling Mo sighed at this point… Zombies really were getting trickier to deal with! This method of planting a positioning system in advance and coming to capture prey when the time was right was advanced enough to make one weep!

And here he had just experienced a baffling ambush…

“Do they really think humans are weaklings? Afraid of you? Seriously…”

Ling Mo glanced forward, then decisively followed the trace ahead.

In the pitch-black Corridor, his figure quickly vanished into the shadows…
