My Girlfriend is a Zombie

As they descended, the lighting dimmed to the point where it was almost impossible to see anything with the naked eye. However, the faint light seeping in from afar indicated that this area wasn’t truly a basement, just slightly lower than the ground level. This kind of design was quite common in X City, but it was surprising to see it in such a remote Town…

Ling Mo calmly withdrew his gaze, silently noting the location: “That’s the fourth exit…”

This place… let’s call it a marketplace for convenience, as aside from the heaps of discarded items, its original appearance was no longer discernible. A strong stench of rot filled the air, with rusted and decaying shelves everywhere. The walls and ceiling were covered in black mold spots… The water on the ground held two relatively fresh cigarette boxes, likely left by those Falcon Members.

“But what exactly do they intend to do in a place like this?”

“Drip…”

Suddenly, the sound of dripping water echoed in the darkness, making the surroundings seem even quieter…

“Still can’t smell him,” Xia Na said with a frown, looking towards Ye Lian. But to her disappointment, Ye Lian slowly shook her head, indicating no success.

“Don’t bother sniffing, I know where he is.” Ling Mo suddenly sneered. He reached out to pull Xia Na and said, “Alright, let’s go. Yalin is already there.”

“But…” Xia Na glanced at Ye Lian in confusion, but the female Zombie had already turned in another direction, darting away with her gun. Her movements seemed incredibly light, not making a single splash as she ran, and she effortlessly bypassed the obstacles hidden in the water. After a few rises and falls, she had completely disappeared.

However, through their indirect sensing, Xia Na knew that Ye Lian was still inside the marketplace, only the distance between them was steadily increasing.

At the same time, Ling Mo made a move. He suddenly released a psychic tentacle, deliberately infusing it with a considerable amount of mental energy. Once the waves emitted by the tentacle were almost identical to an ordinary person’s psychic light cluster, Ling Mo controlled it to coil around a nearby pillar, temporarily anchoring it there.

“Hey, isn’t that quite wasteful…” Xia Na just started to say, but her lips were immediately sealed, “Mmm…”

“You see, isn’t it made up for now?” Ling Mo said, licking the corner of his mouth with satisfaction.

A red-eyed figure appeared immediately behind Xia Na, and “both” of them shouted in anger: “You’re annoying! Your hands are all over the place, even the tentacles aren’t behaving… Why didn’t you do this when Ye Lian was here?”

“How do you know I didn’t try earlier… Alas, she dodges so quickly…” Ling Mo said with a touch of melancholy.

Really hard to ambush Ye Lian in this state…

“You’re obviously bullying me because I’m weaker! Hmph, just wait until I evolve again…” Xia Na muttered with her lips pursed, though from the side, there was clearly a trace of amusement in her expression…

“There it is.” Ling Mo said, standing behind a cabinet and peeking forward.

In the darkness, he vaguely saw a square outline and a faint human figure. But when he switched his vision to Xia Na’s, the square object became clear, yet the human figure disappeared.

“Hmm? What’s the reason for this?” Ling Mo was puzzled for a moment and decided to switch again.

“…Could it be… because of psychic power?” Ling Mo pondered with a frown. In terms of vision, Xia Na certainly had the upper hand, but in psychic power, Ling Mo had the advantage. He thought for a moment and whispered, “Let Nana take a look.”

Xia Na responded with an “Hmm,” and one of her eyes began to slowly turn red again. Meanwhile, two different scenes appeared in her eyes. The scene seen with the black eyes remained the same, but the red eyes suddenly revealed a faint, shadowy figure…

“As expected. However, Nana’s focus isn’t quite strong enough, which is why the shadow appears so dim. If you don’t keep an eye on it, it’s easy to overlook it. If he were moving, he’d be even harder to detect.” This kind of superpower that allows one to vanish from others’ sight was something Ling Mo encountered for the first time. Recalling the situation on the rooftop, he had some answers in mind.

“When the helicopter was still descending, I already probed the area, but I only faintly detected some psychic fluctuations. If my psychic power were slightly weaker, I wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual at all. This should also be one of his concealment methods. However, back then, he used it on a group of people, and now he’s using it on himself, so the effectiveness is likely quite different. If his psychic power hadn’t been significantly depleted, he might have hidden himself even better… Though I found it hard to lock onto him before, now it’s impossible to lock onto him at all…”

Ling Mo had barely observed for a minute when a “bang” of a gunshot suddenly rang in his ears. He immediately pulled back, seeing a splash of water rise not far away. The bullet landed just under three meters from his hiding spot; it was definitely no coincidence or probing…

“Ling Mo, come out now that you’re here. You know I’m also of the mental ability type; this level of probing is nothing,” the glasses man sneered, firing two more shots in Ling Mo’s vicinity.

“His marksmanship is a lot better than yours…” Xia Na whispered.

Before she finished her sentence, she covered her forehead with an “ouch,” then pouted and glanced at Ling Mo.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“What are you looking at? No trash-talking your husband,” Ling Mo whispered back.

“Tch…” Xia Na rolled her eyes at him, then extended her scythe.

As a soft “clang” sounded, Xia Na’s lips curled into a sly smile. “There must be something up with his glasses. It isn’t just allowing him to locate us through probing, but also to see the anomalies around here clearly… No wonder he picked such a spot; the terrain is advantageous for him. But what’s that iron cage for?”

The square object was indeed an iron cage, and the Glasses Man was pacing around it.

Ling Mo pondered for a moment and said, “Everything here has decayed, but that cage is new. I think… it might be for imprisoning us. After all, I’m of the mental ability type. Even if they tie me up, I have ways to escape. But if I’m locked in a cage, it would be much easier to control me…”

“Really? That cage isn’t very big…” Xia Na remarked coldly.

Ling Mo was taken aback at first, then narrowed his eyes. “They’re probably planning to keep only me and Senior Sister… Indeed, when it comes to profits, human lives mean nothing. Even if my usefulness is uncertain, they are setting up this plan without hesitation…”

“What? Still not coming out?” The Glasses Man fired two more shots, laughing maniacally. “Afraid I’ll shoot you dead? Of course, I’ve got a gun! You probably didn’t expect it, did you? A superhuman like me with a mental ability can also have such good aim… Are you scared?”

Xia Na sighed, resting her forehead in her hand, “Foolish humans…”

Ling Mo firmly grasped her shoulder and said, “Don’t come out yet. Wait for me to change positions before you move. I’ve left a ‘psychic light cluster’ over there, enough for testing…”

“Testing what?” Xia Na asked, puzzled.

“I’m not sure yet, just a hunch…” Ling Mo said as he slowly rose. He held no weapon, but dozens of psychic tentacles were already poised at his back.

The Glasses Man clearly sensed the unusual psychic fluctuation. He paused for a moment, then sneered, “It’s useless. No matter how strong your psychic power is, you can’t beat me… And I must kill you with my own hands.” His eyes were fixed on a pile of debris not far away, his hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and he gripped the remote control in his other hand even tighter.

“Actually… I’m quite curious…” A slightly mocking voice suddenly came from behind the debris, and a figure slowly emerged. Ling Mo looked at the Glasses Man with a calm expression and said, “Where exactly does your confidence come from?”

“Bang!”

A gunshot rang out immediately, but to the Glasses Man’s astonishment, he… missed?!

How could that be?!

Especially since… he had just bragged about his marksmanship! How quickly it backfired!

The Glasses Man’s pupils contracted as he fired two more shots in succession.

But these two shots… also missed!

“What is going on?” The Glasses Man was dumbfounded. He had imagined many scenarios of meeting Ling Mo again, but not this one. This inexplicable feeling of missing his target gave him a sudden premonition of doom…

Ling Mo stood there with his hands in his pockets, his chin slightly raised, his expression full of mockery. He cleared his throat and said nonchalantly, “You can try again if you like.”

The muscles in the Glasses Man’s face twitched. He hesitated as he held the gun but eventually lowered his arm. “I didn’t think it would be so easy to kill you.” He glanced around and sneered, “Pretty smart of you, spreading your companions around and leaving one near the stairwell… afraid of me?”

“Heh…” Ling Mo chuckled but remained silent, calmly watching his opponent.

For the Glasses Man to wait for them here, he must have something up his sleeve… and Ling Mo’s strategy was to wait for him to reveal it.

As for those earlier shots… Ling Mo stood out here because he was confident. Although he couldn’t lock onto the Glasses Man, in order for the Glasses Man to aim, he had to look at Ling Mo. At the moment their gazes met, Ling Mo used his “eye-popping skill” to interfere with him.

With the rest of his team gone, leaving only the Glasses Man, whether he was fearful or frantic, any influence from Ling Mo would certainly throw off his aim…
