My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 698 – Oversight

The general direction can be completely sensed. Although it’s impossible to know Ling Mo’s exact movements or confirm whether he’s moving within a small range, since Ling Mo hasn’t sent any alarm signals through the psychic link, it naturally indicates that there’s no problem…

“How do you know? I didn’t hear anything…” Xu Shuhan regretted it as soon as she asked. Saying something like that, they’re Senior Zombies, and she’s still in the process of mutation, how could she compare to them…

No wonder they’re so calm, it turns out they have a grasp of the situation…

Xu Shuhan couldn’t help but blush, but then she felt a slight sense of anticipation.

Since this mutation thing can’t be reversed, she could only hope to survive by evolving…

If she could evolve to be like Ye Lian and the others, it wouldn’t be much different from being human…

But she still wondered, what’s up with their eyes…

Xu Shuhan knew that her contributions were limited and she couldn’t ask for too much, otherwise it would be greedy…

“I actually envy them a bit…”

As soon as this thought came up, Xu Shuhan was startled and pinched her palm secretly.

Are you serious! Envying someone? And they’re Zombies…

Isn’t this the first step of losing humanity…

“But…”

Li Yalin suddenly raised her head and looked around: “Do you feel anything else?”

“Hmm?” Xia Na and Ye Lian immediately looked around but were both puzzled.

Although Ye Lian’s level of evolution is higher than Li Yalin’s, and Xia Na is almost on par with Li Yalin, Li Yalin is not just an ordinary Zombie.

The virus in her body has been modified by the mutation snake…

Many animals are more sensitive to environmental changes than humans, and within Zombies, Li Yalin, who has some snake-like traits, also has this advantage.

Ye Lian didn’t have much of a reaction, but Xia Na became alert immediately.

Ling Mo had left them here to keep an eye on Xu Shuhan, and also to prevent them from being left alone in case any problem arose, which is why he had them all stay together. Could there really be a problem now?

Xia Na and the others knew that the lower levels were filled with Zombies and that Ling Mo had sent a Zombie Puppet down to check. However, since Ling Mo hadn’t indicated any issues, it should be safe below…

After exchanging a glance, Xia Na grabbed Xu Shuhan and said, “Let’s go take a look.”

“Huh?” Although Xu Shuhan didn’t know what was going on, she sensed the sudden change in the atmosphere.

These female Zombies suddenly becoming serious made her feel a bit terrified…

“Where are we going?” She asked nervously.

Who knows what Zombies think? What if they wanted to go hunting?

No way, I’m not ready for this!

Xu Shuhan wasn’t psychologically prepared for this and immediately started to panic.

“Shh, let’s go find Ling-Ge and the others,” Xia Na whispered with a frown.

Li Yalin kept scanning the surroundings, and the amber color in her eyes occasionally flashed. This indicated that her instincts had already sensed danger, and her body was automatically adjusting to a combat-ready state.

Ye Lian also tightened her grip on Thor, and her gaze began to turn cold.

“Something… is coming…”

Ye Lian’s words immediately startled Xu Shuhan. Everything around them was quiet-what could be coming?!

Xia Na still hadn’t sensed anything, but since Ye Lian had, it meant something was indeed approaching…

By the time she sensed it, it might already be too late.

With Ling Mo not around, they couldn’t afford any mistakes…

“Go!”

Xia Na whispered urgently, then grabbed Xu Shuhan and started running.

They knew roughly where Ling Mo was, and they had to meet up with him quickly so they could all leave together…

Xia Na didn’t know what the danger was, but anything that could make both Li Yalin and Ye Lian react like this was definitely not simple.

Li Yalin aside, Ye Lian was at a dominant level…

Xu Shuhan also realized the seriousness of the situation. Everything was pitch black around them, and in that darkness, danger was quickly approaching them!

“Roar!”

At that moment, a low growl from the basement broke the silence.

Immediately following it, a faint tremor came from beneath their feet!

Humans might not have felt this tremor, but Zombies could.

Even Xu Shuhan sensed some anomaly, as if the level beneath them had suddenly started to boil…

“What’s going on…”

She nervously looked at the floor beneath her feet, which was covered in a sticky substance. The tremor continued to rise, making it seem like something was about to rip through the floor and emerge!

Right then, Ye Lian’s gaze swiftly shifted toward the door.

“Outside…”

Before she could finish, a chorus of howls erupted from outside the door.

Xia Na immediately looked towards the Elevator a short distance away, and then towards the staircase.

“Roar!”

The Zombies’ howls echoed, with Xia Na watching the Elevator and Ye Lian eyeing the cracked door.

“Aargh!”

A hand suddenly appeared on the railing of the Elevator.

Simultaneously, a pair of feet appeared in the gap of the door.

“Back!”

Xia Na immediately pulled her gaze away and whispered.

As they slowly retreated, dozens of legs came charging through the gap in the door in a frenzy.

Countless Zombies began spilling out from the staircase…

It was as if these Zombies had gone mad all of a sudden, entering a state of Frenzy.

In this scenario, even Senior Zombies might not be able to control them and could become targets themselves!

“Huff…”

At that moment, Xia Na noticed something was wrong with Xu Shuhan behind her.

Turning her head, she saw Xu Shuhan with her head lowered, her body trembling uncontrollably.

“What’s wrong with you…”

Xia Na gripped her Scythe tightly with her other hand.

Upon hearing her voice, Xu Shuhan suddenly looked up to reveal eyes even redder than before.

She opened her mouth and lunged at Xia Na: “Aaargh!”

Xia Na’s eyes widened in shock…

“Really, it is endless. But in reality, am I just walking in circles?”

Ling Mo sighed and slowly opened his eyes.

Sure enough, it was still pitch black around him, and the light from his flashlight, which could go out at any moment, didn’t penetrate far.

It felt like an endless Corridor…

“Wait a minute, if I go to the restroom or a storage room, would it still create this effect in a closed-off space? For example, in a restroom stall, turning around would make you bump into the toilet. Could I still feel this sense of boundlessness there… I should give it a try…”

Just as Ling Mo was about to test this theory, he suddenly felt something strange.

That unsettling feeling seemed to intensify in an instant…

The intensification of this feeling was not a good sign. Ling Mo had initially thought that Zone A had nothing unusual, but now he was beginning to doubt his judgment.

Even though he had thoroughly searched every place, it seemed he had missed something.

But what exactly did he miss…

“No, I need to get out quickly!”

Thinking swiftly, Ling Mo decided to Control the Little Zombie Puppet to turn back.

This time, she was following the scent of his blood to see if she could find Yu Shiran.

Another purpose was to confirm Ling Mo’s suspicion and see if this Illusion was constantly shifting.

As for digging through walls or such, he decided against it after some thought.

Though he wouldn’t need to do it himself, it would still consume a lot of his psychic power. Additionally, the only puppet he could still Control would also expend a significant amount of physical strength.

Given that they were trapped in someone else’s Illusion, it was easy to foresee that he might think he was digging through a wall or the Ceiling, only to dig into the floor instead…

As for himself, he closed his eyes again and started to recall the route.

With enhanced psychic power, his memory naturally improved as well. The restroom was along the Corridor; as long as he wasn’t trapped in a small looping area, he should be able to find it.

He also tried attacking random spots with his psychic tentacle, but there was no effect.

“It should be around here… Odd, I’ve been sweeping the area with my tentacles and haven’t touched a single person… Could it be that we’re indeed trapped in separate, non-overlapping areas?”

But trapping several people separately is a tall order…

While pondering, Ling Mo didn’t hesitate in his actions.

The sense of unease made him a bit anxious, but under these circumstances, he couldn’t afford to lose focus.

Missing any detail could make him the first one to expose a weakness…
