My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 889: What Is a Fool

At the same moment, outside the building.

A petite figure quietly appeared near the front gate, hiding behind an abandoned car and stealthily observing the Zombie nearby.

“This one’s controlled by Ling-Ge,” Xia Na muttered to herself. But soon, a sly smile appeared on her face and her tone lightened, “No worries, he can’t catch me. Besides, he’s still clueless, which means he must be busy, right? So, in a way, I’m helping him…”

“Black Na, you’re right,” she continued, nodding seriously. As she spoke, her eyes shifted colors continuously, and she couldn’t help but bite her lip, adding, “Interesting, it feels like I’m flipping to a new chapter of split personality. Although I haven’t completely turned the page yet, but…”

“Xia Na…” another figure emerged from behind her, looking up in confusion.

“Hey!” Xia Na quickly pressed down on her head, admonishing, “Senior Sister, don’t do that!”

Li Yalin, while being forced to keep her head down, mumbled unclearly, “Strange, Ling Mo likes to use this move, too, and he says it just like that… But wasn’t he supposed to keep it from you? How do you…”

“Huh? Tell me the details later,” Xia Na tiptoed as she turned to look back, saying, “Ye Lian should be in position by now, let’s get ready. Since we’re moving secretly this time, you’ll have to follow my-actually, human Nana’s-directions later.”

“Speaking of which, Ling Mo might get angry, right?” Li Yalin whispered.

“Just don’t let him find out…” Xia Na thought for a moment, then added, “Besides, once it’s a done deal, he’ll have to accept reality.”

“Ah… I see…” Li Yalin nodded in sudden realization.

“Don’t mention I taught you that next time you use it.”

“Huh? What?”

“…Never mind. But Senior Sister, since when did you start caring about Ling-Ge getting angry?” Xia Na suddenly asked curiously.

Li Yalin chuckled and blinked her upturned eyes gently, “Ling Mo told me…”

“Oh… forget about it, he’s trying to turn you into a fool,” Xia Na’s eyes suddenly turned blood-red, speaking enigmatically.

“Huh…” Li Yalin showed a confused expression, and after a few seconds, couldn’t help but ask, “What is a fool?”

Patiently waiting for almost a minute, when the Zombie Puppet looked away, Xia Na suddenly pulled Li Yalin and darted out swiftly. The two figures raced to the foot of the building, then exchanged smiles as they hugged the wall.

“Done! Next, we need to find a way inside…”

Glancing around, Xia Na soon turned her gaze towards a nearby window.

“Burglar bars… well, that’s easy to handle.” Xia Na tilted her head, studying the window, then winked at Li Yalin.

“Ah! What’s wrong with your eyes?”

“…It’s a human expression that means… never mind, I’ll do it myself.”

…

On a rooftop directly opposite the Rosen Company, Ye Lian lay on the railing, her expression cold as she stared through the sniper scope. Though her eye used for aiming didn’t blink, the ring of blood-red in her pupil kept contracting… Ŗ𝙖Ꞑ∅฿Ɛ𝘴

“Sigh…”

Ye Lian took a deep breath. As she inhaled, her entire presence seemed to merge seamlessly with the rooftop, becoming a part of it.

“Evolution…” Ye Lian whispered, “This is my evolution, I suppose…”

She focused intensely on the windows, her concentration reaching an extraordinary level.

“It’s just… even when I’m not by your side, I want to protect you,” Ye Lian’s lips curled slightly, almost smiling but not quite succeeding, “Just like before.”

She slowly raised her hand, touching her heart, then reached into her pocket, “So… I haven’t… completely changed…”

…

“Bang!”

Ling Mo instinctively covered his chest with his hand, surprisingly thinking, “What’s going on? My heart’s suddenly racing?”

If it were just a Zombie Puppet, it wouldn’t be so bad, but at that moment, he felt the same sensation through four bodies, including his physical body. This feeling was quite different from what the Spider Queen induced…

However, this feeling lasted only a moment. Before Ling Mo could analyze it further, a loud “clang” echoed from behind, followed by a howl. Worse yet, there were numerous hissing sounds and the noise of gestation pods scrambling towards him.

“Come on, I’m not your father, why are you chasing so closely! Do you really follow the tradition where the first person you see is your parent?” Ling Mo cursed angrily. His curse also extended to the zombie boy, who had left a trail of footprints leading him to this eerie place…

The area was strewn with discarded furniture, bones, and “used” gestation pods that were nothing but skin. Strange clicking noises occasionally echoed, creating an ominous feeling. Without windows, the place felt particularly empty and dark. Some areas were bizarrely filled with mirrors, though it was unclear if they were originally there or brought in by the unusual zombies inhabiting the area.

Ling Mo figured that having encountered both a butcher and the peculiar zombie boy, it wouldn’t be surprising if a zombie girl who liked mirrors appeared…

“First, they made me wake those little monsters, and then led me to a place like this… What are they trying to do?”

Knowing his limits, Ling Mo didn’t think they intended to harm a “Low-Level Zombie” like him, which was why he chose to follow. The building was large and structurally complex; if he searched alone, he might “die” countless times… So why not take a bigger risk?

He hadn’t expected this result, though. Now at least dozens of gestation pods were chasing him, not to mention the berserk butcher…

“Wait, could he be those monsters’ brother? They don’t look alike…”

As Ling Mo’s thoughts spiraled, he suddenly felt the ground disappear beneath his feet.

“Damn!”

He barely had time to utter this curse before crashing to the floor with a jumble of random items.

Fortunately, thanks to his zombie resilience, he bounced back up almost immediately upon landing.

The large hole above and the scattered wooden planks below made it clear that this was a poorly made trap… and the most frustrating part was that he had fallen for it.

“Never underestimate zombies… hey!”

Ling Mo had just warned himself when he caught sight of a familiar figure.

The shadow seemed to have been watching him from the corner, and upon being spotted, it quickly turned and fled.

“Stop right there!”

Ling Mo picked up speed, launching himself forward in pursuit.

His speed increased significantly this time, to the point where he could feel his leg muscles tearing as he ran.

The scenery rushed towards him, only to be dodged just in time… If not for his strong psychic power, his mental reaction speed wouldn’t keep up with his current pace. It wasn’t so much the speed but rather his unpredictable movement path.

The zombie boy dashed through various rooms, making Ling Mo feel as if he were navigating through obstacles at rocket speed. Crashing into something under these circumstances would surely cause injuries given the current level of the zombie’s evolution… Yet, Ling Mo had only one thought in his mind: catch him!

This zombie boy wasn’t an ordinary zombie; there was definitely something unusual about him! Being led around like this was not an option, as no one could predict what might happen next. Ling Mo needed to deal with him now!

“Stop!”

Ling Mo’s relentless pursuit clearly exceeded the boy’s expectations. Although fast, his speed was still limited by his small frame… As they reached a corner, Ling Mo let out a low roar. He bent his knees and launched himself forward, feeling a strange sensation in his thighs, propelling himself past the boy like a cannonball, directly towards the wall ahead.

“Ah!”

Just before hitting the wall, he pushed off with his feet, propelling himself backward and precisely colliding with the zombie boy. The two zombies tumbled back into the corridor, flying a good ten meters.

Ling Mo, prepared for the impact, quickly rolled to his feet and pounced on the zombie boy who was just about to jump up.

“With legs that short, you think you can beat me?”

Ling Mo pinned the zombie boy down, shouting fiercely.

The zombie boy stared at Ling Mo in surprise while struggling frantically. Despite his young appearance, he possessed terrifying strength as an Advanced Zombie.

However, Ling Mo had plenty of experience.

Ignoring the zombie boy’s attempts to fight back and hit him, Ling Mo held him firmly and demanded, “Tell me, who are you? What’s going on here? Why are you doing this? Speak! You can talk, can’t you?”

“Ugh…” The zombie boy frowned, kicking and punching to no avail. Just as a look of panic crossed his face, his eyes suddenly widened, focusing intently on something behind Ling Mo.

“Ah!”

Unfortunately, despite his outcry and the corresponding expressions, all he saw was the cold, emotionless face of a Zombie Puppet.

Ling Mo didn’t even glance back; instead, he tightened his grip further.

“Kid, are you disappointed?” Ling Mo attempted a smile and asked.

This time, the zombie boy’s eyes widened in genuine shock, and after a brief pause, he began to scream hysterically, “You’re the kid! You’re the kid! I’m a girl, you know! Sister! Someone’s harassing me!”

“What the heck! Who’s harassing you?”
