My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 674: A Creative Appearance

“Wait a minute, if those were wings, why didn’t it fly just now?”

Ling Mo quickly regained his composure from the initial shock and identified a point of confusion.

Since it was an evolved mutation, there had to be a specific purpose that matched this Purple Eyes Zombie.

But just by looking, it was hard to determine what the membrane was for.

Besides, the appearance of this Purple Eyes Zombie was quite… unique.

Judging its sex by its looks alone was difficult.

But in terms of distinctive appearance, this one definitely scored very high.

The layer of pale, corpse-like skin was tightly stretched over its bones and muscles.

And those muscles looked like they were forcibly crammed under the skin, not only looking out of place but also covered in worm-like bulging veins.

This bizarre combination of gauntness and strength was truly unforgettable.

But the most peculiar feature was its face.

Deeply sunken cheeks, bulging eyes, white teeth, and crimson gums revealed when it grinned, with long hair hanging down its back, making its head look even smaller.

Moreover, its hands, at first glance, were no different from those of a dried corpse.

The nearly transparent long nails were filled with dark brown blood and dirt, like nails dyed in blood.

“What a creative appearance…” Ling Mo thought with an unchanging expression.

He had a high tolerance for appearances. After all, what kind of bizarre zombies hadn’t he seen?

But a Senior Zombie… especially the highest-ranked one known so far, looking like this, was still surprising.

“What are you looking at?” The Birdman seemed quite shocked. Since when did humans scrutinize it with such a gaze?

Moreover, the look that was completely devoid of fear made the Birdman very uneasy.

It was like a lamb calmly staring at a hungry wolf, which felt absolutely wrong!

“What is that thing?” Ling Mo asked directly, pointing at the Birdman’s arm.

The Birdman was genuinely stunned this time. It had never encountered such prey before!

No, actually, in its eyes, a human like Ling Mo didn’t even count as proper prey—at most, he was just a snack.

Yet this human-shaped snack not only dared to stand in its way and injure its foot but also seriously pointed at its highly evolved body and asked what it was!

But the Birdman stood there with its mouth open for a while, stumped.

Yeah… what should it be called?

“No way, you don’t know either?” Ling Mo blinked and asked.

He subtly waved his hand behind his back, silently urging, “Keep moving.”

His Psychic Power was heavily depleted at this moment, and the intense focus had made him weak. However, the successful attack on the foot gave him a sliver of confidence.

This creature’s speed and strength were astonishing, and it had something like wings. But if the goal was just to delay it, it might be doable.

Moreover, it clearly had a strong curiosity. If he could exploit this, he might buy even more time.

Once Ye Lian and the others stabilized after their evolutionary breakthrough, there might be a slim chance of victory!

In any case, Ling Mo couldn’t let this androgynous Birdman get to Ye Lian and the others before then!

Ye Lian quickly noticed Ling Mo’s small gesture. She glanced at the Birdman, saw that its attention was almost entirely on Ling Mo, and then slowly moved with Xiao Bai, skirting the wall to get behind Ling Mo.

While maintaining eye contact with the Birdman, Ling Mo slowly shifted his body to keep himself between it and the others.

“How about I give you a name?” Ling Mo suggested.

The Birdman rolled its eyes. “A name? I don’t need a human trinket.”

“Really? Then I’ll call you ‘Hey’ or ‘Zombie’,” Ling Mo nodded. “But with so many zombies on the streets, that name doesn’t sound high-class at all.” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

The Birdman seemed to mull it over in its mind and then shook its head vigorously. “No way.”

“Then how about Bird Zombie? You can even give yourself a nickname, like… Little Bird.” Ling Mo continued to babble, all the while sensing Ye Lian’s position.

As Ye Lian finally circled around to his back, Ling Mo’s alertness reached its peak.

“Little Bird…” The Birdman, apparently lacking any sense of aesthetics, repeated the name and seemed to accept it!

“So casual… I should have come up with something even more ridiculous,” Ling Mo regretted immediately.

After chatting with Ling Mo for a bit, the Bird Zombie seemed to get interested in talking. It ignored its injured foot and curiously asked, “Human, why are you with your kind? And what’s with those other ones?”

As expected!

Besides Ye Lian, who was a normal Zombie, the other female Zombies were very special. For a Bird Zombie with intelligence and the ability to think, this was undoubtedly very striking.

Its previous behavior didn’t seem like it was rushing to fight immediately; rather, it was curiously observing and testing.

Realizing this, Ling Mo’s newly built confidence took a hit.

The Bird Zombie hadn’t even shown its true power yet…

But he wasn’t at his limit either.

“What’s it to you?” Ling Mo deflected, trying to gather information.

He also wanted to figure out the Bird Zombie’s purpose. It couldn’t have come just to watch the show, right?

The Bird Zombie let out a strange laugh and said, “I originally came because I smelled delicious food. But then I saw a human and even more strange food.”

“Who’s the strange food here!”

Ling Mo immediately felt a bit annoyed.

So, this Bird Zombie saw them as completely new types of food, filled with excitement and curiosity!

When the Bird Zombie said this, it instinctively glanced at Ye Lian and the others. As its gaze met Ye Lian’s, Xiao Bai immediately turned and sprinted towards the alley entrance.

The Bird Zombie’s eyes widened, and it turned to glare angrily at Ling Mo. “Human, you tricked me!”

As it said this, a strange growl echoed from its throat, and its body suddenly blurred.

Ling Mo felt a flash before his eyes and couldn’t see anything clearly.

Fortunately, he was prepared. As soon as the Bird Zombie disappeared, his focus instantly sharpened.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

In the span of a single second, Ling Mo saw nothing but afterimages before him. The tightly guarded Psychic Tentacles exploded into red mist as their energy was dispersed.

At the same time, it felt like someone was tapping his head repeatedly with a small hammer. The pain wasn’t too intense, but the persistent blurriness and the sensation of being top-heavy were growing increasingly severe.

Too fast!

Ling Mo tried his old trick again, but this time, the effect was much less pronounced.

The Bird Zombie had learned from its previous encounter. Each time Ling Mo was about to catch it, the Bird Zombie would instantly dodge away, moving even faster than before—by about a third.

Ling Mo’s reaction speed was barely keeping up, but he wasn’t about to let the Birdman break through his defense line. The Psychic Tentacles might not be able to hold it, but Ling Mo had other tricks up his sleeve.

Amid the Bird Zombie’s intermittent, sharp laughter during its high-speed evasions, Ling Mo’s eyes remained calm.

“Let’s see how long you can laugh!”

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hands and made a gripping motion toward the Birdman’s direction.

Simultaneously, the invisible Psychic Tentacles rippled with energy.

A massive surge of mental energy poured in, and almost at the same time, every tentacle shot toward the center target!

The Psychic Tentacles weren’t just for defense; they were designed for both offense and defense!

Though the Bird Zombie was fast, countless tentacles appeared from all directions, making it impossible to dodge them all in time.

Moreover, some of these tentacles were physical, while others could cause mental interference.

As the Bird Zombie dodged left and right within this rain of “arrows,” sparks flew continuously.

Finally, amidst those sparks, a drop of blood appeared!

“Argh!”

The Bird Zombie let out a muffled grunt, and its form was momentarily revealed.

A blood trail marred its skeletal face, stretching from beneath its eye to its cheek.

The injured area was primarily the relatively fragile lower eyelid. The Bird Zombie’s eye also appeared slightly red, the whites of its eyes showing fine blood vessels as if it had been punched.

This momentary pause gave Ling Mo an opening.

More tentacles shot wildly at the Bird Zombie, which raised its arm in response.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing echoed continuously!
