My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 858: The Brewing Nightmare

Drip, drip…

A minute passed.

In the darkness, Yang Mei was already pulled up and quickly tied to another chair.

Throughout this process, she gritted her teeth, glaring at the Dark Shadow.

“Is he unaffected by the light?” Yang Mei wondered.

What she didn’t know was that this casual guess was actually spot-on.

Although the completely mutated part of this body was only the head, both the visual system and the olfactory system had no difference from those of a Zombie.

The result of this stealth attack was largely within Ling Mo’s expectations.

“First, draw Yang Mei’s attention using the chief captain’s situation, while hiding myself at another angle from where he was… The key step here is making sure Yang Mei sees that pistol, which is too obvious to be ignored.”

In the wilderness, Ling Mo’s main body mused.

Sitting beside him, Yu Shiran suddenly nodded in realization and stretched the tone of her “oh,” then asked, “What are you planning to do next?” As soon as she finished speaking, her tone became calm and carried a slightly eerie smile, “Considering her status, her disappearance would cause some commotion, right? Even if it isn’t discovered immediately, if she stays in the chief captain’s room for too long, it could arouse the guards’ curiosity…”

“This…”

As his main body stroked his chin, the Zombie Puppet controlled by Ling Mo had already picked up the gun that had fallen to the ground.

A trap? How could something like that happen in just a few seconds…

The so-called gun suspended over the head was merely an illusion created by the darkness of the Inner Room.

The tentacle-hidden master ball behind the chief captain’s Hindbrain, concealed by the darkness… Yang Mei’s rapid mobility was restricted by this illusion. With her mobility gone, her troublesome level was greatly reduced.

“I’m not looking for trouble with you, but since you came to me voluntarily, I had no choice but to set a trap based on the situation…”

Ling Mo sighed inwardly, pushing the chief captain directly into the Inner Room and closing the door.

Yang Mei, who had her mouth sealed and was simultaneously restrained by the master ball and ropes, widened her eyes in shock.

“Leaving me here alone? What does he plan to do!”

Click-

The moment the door was closed, the chief captain’s scalp tightened.

With his glasses taken away and the dim light, all he could see was a quickly approaching gleam.

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, but he didn’t dare to utter even a “whimper whimper.”

“We were interrupted earlier, let’s continue,” Ling Mo said.

“Who wants to continue with you! Since you’ve caught Secretary Yang, you should ask her about any issues! I’m just one rank higher than you and really have no value for interrogation…” the chief captain thought, almost in tears, nodding heavily.

“The rules are the same as before, and I don’t think I need to say more. You should know what to do.”

As soon as Ling Mo finished speaking, the chief captain nodded again, slowly.

Swipe!

As the tape was torn off, the chief captain winced in pain, sucking in a sharp breath.

“You did that on purpose, didn’t you? This isn’t sealing; it’s plucking!”

Despite his complaints, the chief captain could only grit his teeth and endure it…

“Though you like to show off, you’re quite sensible…”

Ling Mo leaned closer and asked, “So, first question, when did you arrive?”

“A… About a month ago… to be precise, over the past month, members have arrived in batches, with changes in between,” the chief captain answered in a low voice.

“The reason for coming? What allowed you to come?” Ling Mo continued to ask.

“The reason is to coordinate the cooperation between the Main Camp and this location. As for the cause… that’s beyond my knowledge. The specifics might only be known to Chief of Staff Wang and Chief of Staff Su,” the chief captain replied.

Chief of Staff Wang again… Ling Mo was filled with murderous intent toward this person he had never met…

“Eliminating the Destruction Squad was just the first greeting gift from me… From now on, I won’t remain passive,” Ling Mo thought, controlling the Zombie Puppet as he directly asked, “Who is Chief of Staff Wang? What is the Main Camp’s attitude towards the Second Camp? At what stage are the proceedings? Don’t tell me you don’t know…”

As the blade pressed slightly deeper, Ling Mo’s chilling voice continued, “If you want to lie to me, you can try.”

“Hey! What’s with this guy! He used to be just an ordinary person, but after killing a few Zombies, he became so full of murderous intent! I’ve been ignoring you all along, and I’m really sorry for that, but isn’t this a bit much…”

The chief captain was on the verge of tears, “Chief of Staff Wang is said to be a core member, one of the original founders of the Falcon Camp… He has strong abilities which became even stronger after his Superpower awakened. But I don’t know exactly what his Superpower is, only that he single-handedly formed the Destruction Squad. Chief of Staff Su used to have quite a few supporters, but since the last incident, Chief of Staff Wang has started to replace her…”

“The last incident?”

“Huh?” The chief captain paused.

The original master of this body must know… However… Ling Mo smirked and said, “Explain in detail.”

“Isn’t it… the Zombie strategy…”

As soon as the chief captain spoke, Ling Mo was taken aback.

…

When the Falcon Camp gradually established its foothold in X City, an astonishing upheaval was slowly brewing.

The relentless wave of Zombies surrounding the camp began to dwindle, even the mutation beasts stopped appearing…

Initially, this unusual phenomenon was seen as a stroke of luck, but over time, more and more people began to realize that they… those Monsters hadn’t given up, but had changed their strategy.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

When a species suddenly changes its hunting habits, it instills fear in its human prey.

Only by understanding how they hunt can humans mount an effective resistance. But when the situation reverses, humans suddenly feel like they are standing in the middle of a battlefield, uncertain of when and how these Monsters will appear and attack.

The first signs of trouble emerged with the Falcon Camp’s Search and Rescue Teams.

These teams, numerous in number, operated in different zones, slowly advancing towards the city center. They would sweep up all useful resources, and if they encountered resources difficult to obtain, they would record it for a more Advanced team to handle.

For the ever-expanding Falcon Camp, this was a highly efficient search strategy with minimal casualties…

But as teams started to disappear, this balance was abruptly disrupted.

One by one, teams went missing in various areas.

There were no distress signals, no corpses found, not even a trace of their equipment was left behind…

The number of Zombies on the streets also began to decrease significantly, which left the armed Search and Rescue teams stunned.

The lack of large zombie hordes meant that the effectiveness of weapons began to decline…

Even the sound of gunfire could no longer draw more Zombies; it seemed that only living beings could now capture their attention…

Initially, this situation did not alarm the senior management until…

“What?” Ling Mo felt a stir in his heart and asked.

The prey’s resistance was spurring the Hunters’ evolution… But what exactly was this evolution?

“They… just like us, have divided territories and formed teams…”

The chief captain’s voice involuntarily trembled, “Although not obvious, it’s easy to sense. An Army, the Zombies have begun to evolve into an Army… Those left on the streets are discarded inferior types, serving as one of their food sources. But when street Zombies evolve to mutation-level, they choose a building to enter…”

“Those places are off-limits to us. The more territory they occupy, the harder it becomes for us to gather resources… The prolonged situation has undermined Chief of Staff Su’s influence. In contrast, Chief of Staff Wang, who commands the elite forces, has started to shine…”

An Army…

Ling Mo’s pupils contracted, and he slowly clenched his fists.

A nightmare seems to have begun…
