My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 899: The Deadly Dance of the Femme Fatale

“Shh…” Ling Mo immediately turned to glance at Li Yalin, motioning her to stay quiet.

The two of them silently retreated a few steps, positioning themselves on either side of the door, their eyes locked cautiously on it.

The tightly shut security door loomed ominously, as if it could transform into a gaping maw at any moment, radiating an aura of danger. With every passing second, Ling Mo could feel an acute pressure steadily mounting…

Click, click, click…

A series of distinct sounds echoed abruptly. The next moment, the door slammed open with a loud crash. Amid a cloud of swirling dust, a massive figure emerged in the doorway.

“Roar…”

“It’s now!”

Ling Mo swiftly controlled the Zombie Puppet to charge forward, swinging its arm directly toward the creature’s head. At the very same moment, Li Yalin’s shadow silently materialized in front of the zombie. With a sleek and agile motion, her Snake Kiss blade gleamed coldly, striking with the precision and swiftness of a venomous serpent, her angle sharp and deadly.

Their coordination was flawless. Their combined assault left the zombie with no options to evade or counterattack – every path was utterly sealed off. Its only choice would have been to retreat…

But retreating wasn’t in the Big Guy’s vocabulary. Its first and only reaction was to meet the overwhelming presence of Ling Mo head-on. By the time it realized there was another Advanced foe targeting it, it was already too late…

Bang!

The Zombie Puppet’s colossal fist collided brutally with the zombie’s claws, while Li Yalin, in the blink of an eye, executed dozens of rapid, relentless strikes. Her body twisted and coiled with fluidity, as if she were a serpent incarnate. Amid the mesmerizing, sinuous movements lay hidden venomous fangs that lashed out incessantly.

Her blistering speed of attack was unlike anything Ling Mo had witnessed before. He could even sense a subtle shift in her entire aura as she launched her assault.

Dangerous, alluring, chilling, yet oddly intoxicating-Li Yalin exuded a captivating sweetness that masked the lethal threat she embodied. Watching her was akin to witnessing a deadly dance performed by a Femme Fatale in all her glory. Yet behind those upturned, bewitching eyes lay an icy, fanatical intensity…

“Swish!”

In barely a second, Li Yalin had left countless slash marks on the zombie’s body. However, as she landed, the first thing she shouted was, “Ling Mo, move back! It’s still alive!”

Before she even finished speaking, Ling Mo had already leaped backward. In truth, he didn’t need her reminder; he could sense the eerie abnormality of this zombie. Even under Li Yalin’s relentless attacks, the arm that had borne the brunt of Ling Mo’s punch was still intensifying its grip…

“I’ve got the arms of someone who’s eaten plenty of spinach!” Ling Mo thought to himself with a hint of frustration, while stealing a quick glance at Li Yalin.

Why… does she seem more focused than usual? Is it because her hunting instincts have been triggered? And also, because her opponent is a zombie of comparable strength?

So, when fighting humans, does her instinct not awaken in the same way?

For some reason, Ling Mo had a vague feeling that perhaps this state of Li Yalin’s was the true form of a fully awakened Leader-Level Zombie… a balance between calculated strategy and the pure, primal excitement of a zombie. In her eyes, it wasn’t merely about killing-it was about the thrill entwined within the hunt itself.

“This also means that its Gel or mother hive must be valuable to my Senior Sister as well…” Ling Mo muttered to himself, as his gaze shifted back to the zombie. A cold glint quietly flashed through his eyes.

“Roar…”

From the moment it emerged, the zombie had been growling, and only now did it finish its guttural howl. Its body, like a ruptured and leaking water sack, bled profusely from every corner. Yet, even as blood poured from open wounds, its entire body began to squeeze and contract. As the skin and muscles tightened, the bleeding stopped one wound at a time. In the blink of an eye, when its body returned to its original state, the wounds had completely vanished…

“I’m aware now, right? Regular attacks won’t kill it. Also, every time you attack, its muscles contract, making it hard to break through that layer of flesh,” Li Yalin whispered from the side.

“That must be the alpha zombie… the one named Xiong Ji, right? Judging by the psychic light cluster, it seems like it’s about to break through to Leader-Level, but it also looks like a variation zombie…” Ling Mo nodded in agreement.

“Yes, it’s a variation. Its layer of flesh has mutated. While regular zombies can contract muscles, none can do it as effectively as this one. Similar to how many zombies can stretch their joints, but none can do it like me…” Li Yalin said with certainty.

“I feel like you’ve gotten smarter all of a sudden… Does activating have this effect too?”

“Hehe…”

Ling Mo exhaled, focusing on Xiong Ji, “So, we need to find a way to deal with Xiong Ji’s mutated fat layer first, right?”

“Yes, yes!” Li Yalin nodded repeatedly, then widened her eyes, “But besides that, we have other things we need to manage…”

“Hiss…”

A series of intense muffled sounds came from outside the door, and Ling Mo muttered to himself, “Damn, almost forgot…”

“Boom!”

Xiong Ji stretched out an arm and forcibly pushed his way in through the doorway.

He stared blankly at Li Yalin and then took a deep breath…

“Ling Mo!”

As Li Yalin shouted, Xiong Ji was greeted by an enlarging Dark Shadow right in front of him.

“Boom!”

A dull thud immediately sounded; Xiong Ji’s face caved inward, and even his massive body was sent flying backward.

Ling Mo maintained his punching stance, his body following Xiong Ji out the door. Without looking back, he shouted, “Get out of here fast; being trapped in here would be a disaster!”

“Oh… got it.” Li Yalin snapped back to reality and couldn’t resist adding, “That’s why you’re such a crafty human…”

“Can you use another term… wait… this…”

Ling Mo’s punch was almost at full strength, and both zombies slammed heavily into the corridor’s wall. However, as he tried to retract his fist, he realized something terrifying…

He couldn’t pull it out!

Xiong Ji’s facial muscles were contracting constantly, and his fist was stuck, firmly suctioned onto Xiong Ji’s face!

“Hiss…”

A large number of gestation pods had appeared not far away, covering nearly every inch of the walls and ceiling with their twisted forms crawling towards him. Some of these corpses showed signs of decay, with infant parasites revealing gaping mouths through abdominal wounds, oozing eerie mucus…

Meanwhile, Xiong Ji was already raising his arm, reaching out with claws aimed at Ling Mo’s chest.

“No blind spot on the face, but what about the scalp? Let’s see you retract your scalp too!”

In this critical moment, Ling Mo unhesitatingly raised his other fist and smashed it down onto the top of Xiong Ji’s head.

“Boom!”

With a tooth-jarring thud, Xiong Ji’s head seemed to plunge into his chest cavity abruptly.

“Ah!”

Ling Mo’s arm flew back from the recoil but swung down again in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he landed several consecutive punches, finally causing Xiong Ji’s facial muscles to release their grip.

By now, the nearest gestation pod was less than three meters away from Ling Mo…

“Quick, we have to shake off these things first!” Li Yalin’s figure flashed by, and as she passed, several gestation pods dropped, collapsing onto the floor. Yet even more were crawling in from behind, seemingly endless.

“Tch, it’s the sheer number that’s a pain,” Ling Mo remarked. He kicked Xiong Ji in a vulnerable spot before retreating to create some distance. During this brief attack, his fists had cracked in several places, and the one stuck to Xiong Ji’s face had been so compressed it was completely deformed.

“What terrifying contraction ability… it’s clear getting too close is a bad idea! No wonder Yalin uses that rapid attack style; getting entangled would be troublesome.”

At that moment, Li Yalin pointed at one of the corpses in a gestation pod and said, “This is something you shouldn’t touch lightly either, Ling Mo, look,” directing her finger at the wound, “You see it?”

“A tongue… and mucus…”

A long tongue dangled there, making it look as if the human abdomen had taken on the form of a mouth, with a copious amount of mucus flowing out from the wound like drool.

“That’s not ordinary mucus,” Li Yalin explained, nudging the corpse over with her foot.

As the wound came into contact with the floor, Ling Mo immediately recognized a familiar sound.

“Hiss!”

“This is…”

Li Yalin nodded, “It’s what humans call stomach acid, right? It took me a while to recall that term.”

“This is way stronger than stomach acid…” Ling Mo remarked in amazement.

“Of course it is, because it’s the acidic liquid secreted by that little creature. They use this acid to corrode the inside of the corpse, then feed on it. As they grow, their acid becomes even more potent, eventually dissolving the entire corpse before they emerge. The most easily eroded parts are usually the internal organs, which start rotting first, followed by the bones,” Li Yalin explained methodically.

“So which stage are they in now?” Ling Mo inquired.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

“Hmm…” Li Yalin pondered for a moment before suddenly smiling and said, “Probably the stage that will make us run first… There are so many of them, they can spray acid at a distance, albeit not very far…”

“Senior Sister… can you spill all the intel at once?”

“Xia Na is in the elevator…”

“What?!”
