My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 888: The Terrifying Infant Room

“How considerate…”

As the butcher headed towards the Outer Room, Ling Mo immediately returned to the corpse and reached for the suture Barbed Wire…

“Rip…”

The sound of the wound slowly tearing open was somewhat jarring in the silence, accompanied by the rustling and deforming noise of the Barbed Wire. Ling Mo glanced towards the doorway and saw that the butcher had already vanished, while faint sounds of him moving something came from the Outer Room.

Ling Mo recalled the things he had seen in the Outer Room, but still couldn’t figure out what the butcher was doing. However, that was not the main issue at the moment… The little boy had yet to appear, leaving Ling Mo unsure whether he’d left or was hidden in some dark corner watching him.

“Whatever.”

Ling Mo suddenly exerted more force and yanked the Barbed Wire open. But to his surprise, there was no blood oozing out… even the exposed flesh seemed pale as if the blood had already drained.

He hesitated for a moment before inserting the Barbed Wire into the wound. Although, technically speaking, it wasn’t his own hand, the thought of reaching in while empathizing with the feeling tested his tolerance… About this, though, Ling Mo found a reasonable excuse for himself: who knew if there was something inside that would bite?

After a chaotic probing with the Barbed Wire, the corpse’s abdomen visibly bulged, then quivered twice. Upholding the principle of “whatever it is, kill it first and talk later,” Ling Mo relentlessly continued for a while. During this process, the abdominal cavity of the corpse kept writhing. Several times, Ling Mo even felt as though something was trying to crawl out of the wound. But each time he noticed this sign, he would immediately increase the frequency of tugging the Barbed Wire. Meanwhile, he silently thought, “I’m doing this to relieve you, just bear with it…”

“Alright, let’s see…”

Using the floor to bend the end of the Barbed Wire into a hook shape, Ling Mo once again inserted it into the gaping wound.

He made a few tentative pulls based on intuition and then yanked it out swiftly.

“Whack!”

As a mass of bloody flesh flew toward him, Ling Mo quickly caught it in his hand.

“Oh my…”

Despite being somewhat mentally prepared, the appearance of this thing still startled Ling Mo.

First was the soft and squishy texture… Ignoring the slimy blood and unidentified Liquid on the outside, it felt like squeezing a water-filled balloon. However, unlike a balloon, it wasn’t so easy to burst due to its surprisingly resilient skin, smooth like rubber, though not as strong as an adult zombie’s.

Then there was its appearance. Four limp appendages hung by its sides, with a protruding spherical object on top. Upon closer inspection, there was a mouth, which Ling Mo pried open with the Barbed Wire. To his surprise, the mouth could expand to an exaggerated size, filled with tiny teeth resembling barbs. Among these teeth, he discovered a straw-like hole, likely used for sucking out the corpse’s organs and blood when it was alive. The reason he mentioned organs was because he also discovered a small fragment… It was clear that this little Creature was quite aggressive, yet ironically, its body was very fragile; otherwise, a single Barbed Wire wouldn’t have subdued it.

No matter how he looked at it, this was like an Infant, or perhaps still in a gestation stage… These corpses practically served as gestation pods for these humanoid Creatures. They provided some level of concealment and protection for the infant, as well as the nutrients required in its early development phase.

“Well, turns out I’ve stumbled into a Monster infant room…” Ling Mo sighed, holding the Infant.

However, as Ling Mo was observing, he didn’t notice that just under two meters away, the abdomen of a hanging girl corpse was silently pulsating, and her limbs were gradually starting to twitch…

“What to do now?” Ling Mo thought, frowning.

The best solution would be to burn the place down, but the butcher was still outside…

Extracting all these Infants one by one? Not realistic…

“Better deal with that butcher first,” Ling Mo decided. Although that guy would be tough to handle, it was worth trying to find an opportunity… However, after taking just two steps, he suddenly paused.

“No way…”

The Zombie Puppet’s face remained expressionless; otherwise, it would certainly have shown a “what the hell” expression… Ling Mo’s body stiffened entirely, not even blinking as he slowly turned his gaze to the side, looking at his own shoulder…

There was a pale, slender hand resting on his shoulder, along with a foot that clearly belonged to a female, touching his thigh… Such an awkward position could only be achieved if the person behind him was hanging in the air, bending her waist with effort…

A thin thread of wind brushing against Ling Mo’s cheek confirmed this, and to make matters worse, he vaguely heard a strange sound. It was somewhat muffled, like something coming from a confined space.

Hiss…

“Damn…”@@novelbin@@

Almost immediately as Ling Mo mentally uttered this, the hand swiped toward his neck in a bizarre manner. However, at the same moment, Ling Mo had already turned and grabbed the wrist, yanking her down forcefully. The girl-or more precisely, the animated gestation pod-immediately spread her limbs to embrace Ling Mo, her abdomen and chest clinging to him like a Sucker, giving Ling Mo an intensely terrifying feeling.

Her wound… was opening!

“What the heck is this?!”

This time, Ling Mo was genuinely frightened; this thing was clearly intent on feeding!

Luckily, compared to that butcher, this gestation pod was weak. Once he calmed down, Ling Mo firmly slammed her onto the ground, repeatedly lifting his waist and then forcefully pressing down again… A sharp hissing sound continued to emanate from the inside of the girl, which was probably the Infant’s cries…

It wasn’t until the girl released her grip that Ling Mo realized that his actions might have been a bit ungraceful… “Sorry, you had my hands trapped, and my legs wrapped… I really had no choice. Please understand.”

Struggling to his feet, Ling Mo looked down at his abdomen.

His dirty clothes were already torn, and there was a head protruding from the girl’s wound… This squashed Infant was noticeably larger than the previous one, with its mouth split to its cheeks and two large black holes on its head that seemed to be nostrils.

Hiss…

Before Ling Mo could even catch his breath, he heard more muffled thuds.

The corpses hanging around him began to sway, their abdomens writhing. The nearest ones were even on the verge of bursting, with monstrous faces beneath their skin, mouths agape…

“You’ve got to be kidding me…” Ling Mo immediately realized that there must be some kind of connection between these Infants!

The death of one Infant would trigger a reaction in the others, awakening them from their gestation pods.

“Crack!”

A corpse fell and struggled on the ground nearby, twisting for a moment before awkwardly lifting its neck and propping its upper body up with inverted palms. It then turned toward Ling Mo…

“Crack! Crack!”

More corpses continued to fall, and from the Outer Room came a loud bang, followed by the sound of something being thrown down.

“I’ve been set up…”

That zombie boy lured him here, clearly to cause this outcome… But why did he want Ling Mo to awaken these little monsters?

There was no time to think, as more gestation pods were dropping, and the butcher was heading for the Inner Room…

At the moment the door was crashed open, Ling Mo immediately turned and dashed toward the depths of the room.

The little zombie still hadn’t appeared, so there must be another exit!

After maneuvering around several gestation pods, Ling Mo finally spotted a slightly ajar door ahead. Behind him, along with the increasingly loud hissing, came a furious roar: “Roar!”

“Not good.”

Ling Mo yanked the door open and quickly slipped through, slamming it shut behind him.

As he closed the door, an arm without a hand reached out. Although Ling Mo felt a sudden jolt in his heart, his hand didn’t hesitate, and he applied even more force aggressively.

“Bang!”

“Roar!!”

An even angrier roar erupted, and Ling Mo tightly gripped the doorknob, watching the blood seep through the crack.

“This is just interest,” he thought, before quickly stepping back and scanning his surroundings.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The door rattled violently, causing bits of plaster to fall…

“Again?”

Ling Mo noticed a clear line of little footprints on the ground and followed them to one direction. There was another door there, leading to what seemed like a deep Corridor…

Logically, he should have chosen the opposite direction at this moment…

“I want to see what you’re up to.”

Ling Mo glanced back at the door, which was almost falling apart, and then unhesitatingly followed the footprints… Meanwhile, one of his other Zombie Puppets had already reached near the stairwell, holding onto something dark and mysterious…
