My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 1129: Dont Forget the User Manual When Getting a Girlfriend

After arriving at the granary, Ling Mo put away the master ball. No matter what its true function was, at least for now, it wouldn’t be dormant for too long this time. The answer could wait until later…

Jumping down from Xiao Bai’s back, Ling Mo patted its head and had it stand guard outside, while he walked into the granary himself.

“Sorry, everyone… Letting you rest is only part of my intention… But… the other purpose, I have to keep it a secret from you.” Ling Mo thought to himself.

What he had just told Mu Chen and the others wasn’t the whole truth. For example, his visit to Ye Lian and the others wasn’t just to check on them, but for another, even more important reason…

After this battle, the atmosphere inside the granary was much more relaxed than before. But compared to other, more normal places, it was still chilling. At this moment, the main passage leading to the granary had been completely cleared, and the Spider Silk that blocked the view had all been pushed aside, piled up layer upon layer like gray-white fishing nets.

Spider corpses could be seen everywhere on the ground, probably dealt with by Ye Lian and the others during the cleanup. With this, even if there were still some Spiders hiding in the granary, their numbers wouldn’t be too many. Afterward, as long as they left a warning for the teams transporting grain, there shouldn’t be any problems.

“Xia Na, how far have you gotten?” Ling Mo walked along the main passage, asking through the psychic link.

After a pause, Xia Na’s voice sounded in his mind: “We’re almost done. We’ve dug out all the virus gel from the Zombies’ brains. Hmm… Even though they’re synthetic, the gel looks about the same as in other Zombies…”

After a bit of small talk, her tone suddenly became serious as she asked, “Ling-Ge, are you sure you want to do that kind of thing now? I’m a little nervous…”

“Yeah, I’m sure… Wait, why does this conversation sound a bit weird… Forget it, let’s get back to business.” Ling Mo continued, “I think you’ve probably noticed by now… These Zombies living in the wild are all digging into their own evolution potential. And no matter which direction they’re developing, once we encounter them, there’s a high chance we’ll be marked as top prey… This time it was me, but what if next time it’s you…”

Xia Na was silent for a moment before she spoke: “Ling-Ge…”

“I’m not overthinking it. The three of you are all special, and so are Black Silk and Yu Shiran. Not to mention, there’s still…” Ling Mo originally wanted to say there was still a Spider Queen watching him, and compared to the Progenitor Zombies here, that Queen was obviously much harder to deal with… But the words stuck in his throat, and he changed the subject, “Anyway, once the other side decides we’re weaker than it is, we’ll definitely be attacked. Living in this world means taking risks, but personally, I still hope to improve our survival rate as much as possible before we run into danger again…”

“Mm…”

Ling Mo waited for a while, but Xia Na didn’t say anything, so he could only give a wry smile and say, “Do you feel… that what I’m saying is too conservative and boring for Zombies who are instinctively obsessed with blood and slaughter? But… even so, I can’t put it any other way, I…”

“I know.” Xia Na suddenly cut in, “You’re afraid of dying, because you’re worried that if you die, the broken psychic link will affect us. You’re also afraid we’ll die, because even if we don’t care ourselves, you still care, and you care very, very much… I know all of this. Senior Sister and Ye Lian might not know how to express it, but they know too. You know I never lie.”

Ling Mo fell silent… Although Xia Na’s tone didn’t reveal any emotion, after a moment, a faint smile still crept onto Ling Mo’s lips. But just then, another voice suddenly popped up-

“Huh, care about what?”

“Shit!” Ling Mo was startled, and even his psychic fluctuation spiked for a moment. “Black Silk! Enough already! Popping into people’s heads and eavesdropping on their conversations anytime, anywhere, isn’t that a bit too shameless?!”

“Shameless? What’s that? Can you eat it?” Black Silk asked, and before Ling Mo could explode, it giggled and said, “Alright, alright, don’t get mad yet. I just wanted to ask… when you’re having these embarrassing meetings…”

“There’s no such meeting.”

“…Is there a spot for me?”

“No.”

Black Silk’s tone immediately turned aggrieved: “Master, you’re so heartless…”

“Hm? Black Silk, she… what’s wrong?”

“Who? Who’s heartless?”

Two more voices suddenly chimed in, and Ling Mo was stunned again. Then he asked helplessly, “How did Ye Lian and Senior Sister get in on this…”

“Hehe…” Black Silk said smugly, “Did you forget I can act as the psychic transmission hub? Just letting them connect together is no problem at all.”

“Really? Then how long can you keep the connection?”

At Ling Mo’s question, Black Silk immediately wilted. “About… one second…”

“Then… what’s the point!”

Ling Mo shouted as he strode into the warehouse in front of him. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by Ye Lian and the others standing in a row… along with Black Silk and Yu Shiran… 𝙍ἈŊɵ𝐁Εᶊ

“…Alright, I admit, it does have some meaning.” After a pause of less than a second, Ling Mo couldn’t help but laugh and said.

“Did you find a suitable place?” Ling Mo continued to ask.

Li Yalin walked over and closed the warehouse door, then twisted on a flashlight and walked ahead of Ling Mo. “Yes, it’s just up ahead. We found a small room that’s almost been completely eaten out, and all the surrounding rooms are blocked off by sacks of rice. In a place like this, sound definitely won’t get out. It’s perfect for doing all sorts of shady things…”

“Although it really is shady… the way you say it sounds so ambiguous…” Ling Mo followed behind and said, “Anyway, I’ve set aside an indefinite amount of time… because I don’t know how long this will take… I don’t even know if it’ll succeed…”

At his words, Ye Lian and the others couldn’t help but exchange glances. Then Xia Na spoke up: “The only one who can’t guarantee it is Ye Lian… Breaking through further from King, I think, might be a huge critical point. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, Ling-Ge, but almost all the Zombies we’ve encountered have stalled at this step, or chose to become Progenitor at this stage. But Ye Lian can’t become a Progenitor; she might be the only one… the only Zombie to keep evolving step by step like this…”

“I know…” Ling Mo nodded and replied.

“As for me and Senior Sister, we don’t know what will happen when we evolve further… but at least, we’ll do our best to succeed. Black Silk and Shiran are a bit special… but fools are hard to kill.” Xia Na said.

“Hey, you were going for a touching and sentimental tone just now, so why did you suddenly start mocking us when you got to us!” Black Silk protested in a low voice.

Ling Mo looked at Ye Lian and asked softly, “What do you think?”

“I… I’ll listen to you…” Ye Lian lowered her head and looked at her toes, answering in a quiet voice.

Ling Mo couldn’t help but glance at her pocket… This girl, why can’t he figure her out? As expected, whether it’s human or Zombie, women are always impossible to understand!

“When they become girlfriends, why isn’t there some kind of user manual…” Ling Mo thought with a headache… But now wasn’t the time to dwell on that. As they got closer to that small room, Ling Mo could clearly feel that all the Zombies and mutation creatures seemed to suddenly become serious…

It seemed just as Xia Na said, even though their current behavior and reactions were all different, they… all knew Ling Mo took this matter seriously… and so they would take it seriously too… This was how Zombies expressed that they cared…

“Even if I can’t make them reliable, at least they believe I’m reliable, and that’s enough…” Ling Mo thought to himself. Even if this idea was a bit self-comforting, Ling Mo still couldn’t help but smile…

Meanwhile, in another granary.

A man was standing at the window, anxiously smoking a cigarette.

He was the captain of this team, and at this moment he was feeling a bit uneasy.

They had only just arrived here, so logically it shouldn’t be time to get impatient yet… But what was making the captain uncomfortable wasn’t that. In fact, what was troubling him, even making him feel a bit creeped out, was his Team Members…

After clearing out a place to stay, several Team Members had started acting… strange. He couldn’t say exactly what was strange, but in these people, he saw a familiar shadow…

“Hoo…” The captain took a hard drag on his cigarette, then forcefully blew out the smoke. “Am I just overthinking it? Maybe I’m just nervous because I’m thinking about Ling Mo? I wonder when he’ll get here… On one hand, I’m looking forward to him coming soon so I can face him, but on the other, it makes me a bit nervous… People really are contradictory…”

The captain was mocking himself when he suddenly sensed something and looked down, just in time to see a woman downstairs. The woman was looking up at him, her expressionless face seeming to faintly reveal an indescribable aura…

“…” The captain stared at her for a while, then let out a long breath, dropped the cigarette butt, and turned away from the window. As he turned, he muttered in a low voice, “So weird… Now I really do hope Ling Mo gets here soon.”
