My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 965: The Correct Way to Fish
“Clang… Clang…”
The indistinct sounds continued to emanate from not too far ahead, and as the two of them quickened their pace, they had covered a considerable distance in less than a minute. But aside from the persistent darkness, they saw nothing at all, let alone catching up to the figure…
“Ling Mo, there’s a fork in the road ahead!” Xu Shuhan suddenly whispered.
“Are there any marks?”
“Yes…”
“Follow them.”
“Huh? What if…”
“It’s fine.” Ling Mo’s tone was very confident.
With the arrangements made by the Zombie Puppet, his mood had also gradually stabilized.
Yuwen Xuan was no fool; he understood the risks. As for the figure, though eerie, as long as one could calm down and avoid Interference, it would not lead them by the nose.
“The Zombie Puppet was fooled once, and I didn’t expect the main body to fall for it too…” Ling Mo couldn’t help but think self-deprecatingly.
But on second thought, the figure had also adjusted its strategy. Under those circumstances, it was hard for anyone to simply ignore it… But now it was different. Now that they knew it was not something like the Progenitor, at most, it was just a decoy, and the threat it posed was greatly reduced.
The appearance of the fork was also an opportunity for them.
Maybe they shouldn’t chase this decoy anymore, but rather let the decoy come after them… Waiting for the fish to hit the hook naturally posed a great threat, but what if the hook was chasing the fish all over the pond?
Still, that didn’t mean there was no threat…
“It’s worth a gamble!” Ling Mo thought to himself.
They quickly reached the intersection, and Xu Shuhan glanced in the direction of the “help cries,” then gritted her teeth and pulled Ling Mo in the opposite direction. In the pitch-black environment, Ling Mo felt his feet pause briefly, then he turned half around.
Turning around… he also focused his attention behind. The “clang” sound seemed still far away, not noticing their movement.
Xu Shuhan also breathed a slight sigh of relief. Though not obvious, being temporarily away from the Monster did reduce her anxiety a bit.
“Hurry up.” Ling Mo whispered.
“But…” Xu Shuhan hesitated, “your body…”
“Just run with confidence.” Ling Mo said. The Female Zombie was clearly worried he couldn’t endure it, because not only were the ground conditions poor here, but the air was particularly murky. Most people couldn’t stand staying here long, let alone running at speed… But Ling Mo’s body was, after all, slightly modified, though not as transformed as Tang Hao and the others, but he was no longer one hundred percent human either…
“Okay…” Xu Shuhan finally nodded, “If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me.”
She quietly tightened her fingers, clasping Ling Mo’s palm completely. The next second, her feet suddenly left the ground. Carrying Ling Mo, she darted forward.
The “clang” sound was quickly left far behind, but Xu Shuhan’s speed never relaxed.
Ling Mo, being led by her, remained silent. She glanced sideways with her peripheral vision, thinking, “He must be struggling to breathe right now… When he’s with them, does he also struggle like this… The difference between Zombies and humans is really big, isn’t it? Does he realize it…”
Being human didn’t feel different, but after becoming a Zombie, she started observing these differences more… And for Xu Shuhan, the best object of observation was naturally Ling Mo, who interacted with Zombies, and the best opportunity for observation was like this moment…
“Thinking about it… When I was human, I never held hands with the opposite sex like this…” Xu Shuhan couldn’t help but think. Ling Mo’s body temperature, heartbeat, all continuously transmitted through the palm.
“I have no comparable experience…” Xu Shuhan was curious, whether this feeling was unique to becoming a Zombie, or if it was naturally occurring between opposite sexes? freewёbnoνel.com
Feeling his heartbeat, she also became involuntarily excited…
“Uh… Well, at least I can be sure that drooling is definitely because of becoming a Zombie…” Xu Shuhan helplessly licked the corner of her mouth, thinking, “It’s tough interacting with humans… Pain and joy together! Speaking of becoming a Zombie, I really became a super foodie… Ah! I’m so hungry!”
“How far now?” Ling Mo suddenly covered his mouth and asked.
His voice was somewhat muffled, but Xu Shuhan snapped back to reality and was also startled. Her eyes widened as she guiltily replied, “Almost three hundred meters.”
“And the distance from it?” Ling Mo asked again.
“If it has kept moving, it should be about five hundred meters now. As for the straight-line distance, I’m not sure…”
This sewer wasn’t always a straight line, although the curve wasn’t very big… But even if it wasn’t up to five hundred meters, the distance was far enough, and it was still extending every second. Xu Shuhan was actually praying that the Monster wouldn’t chase them anymore, not knowing that what Ling Mo was concerned about was exactly the opposite…
“Five hundred meters… It shouldn’t keep failing to react, right?” Ling Mo thought.
“Ling Mo, there should be sewer covers on this road, right?” Xu Shuhan suddenly said, “The exit they arranged, could it be at such a location?”
“Possibly… Keep an eye out. But even if we can’t find it, it’s okay…”
Ling Mo’s words evidently made Xu Shuhan a bit puzzled. She furrowed her brow, thinking, “But the entrance we used has already…”
“If Tang Hao is not dead, he will definitely come down.” Ling Mo said.
“Right… That captive is really multi-purpose…” Xu Shuhan couldn’t help thinking a bit maliciously.
Thinking again about Ling Mo… Just a captive, why include him in everything? That captive was really unlucky, to have messed with him…
“Ah!”
Just then, Xu Shuhan suddenly let out a low cry.
She stopped, then looked ahead: “I see a new mark.”
“What?” Ling Mo was about to turn on the Flashlight, but although it was pitch dark around, it still felt very open both in front and behind… In such a suffocating environment, turning on a Flashlight also felt like a lot of pressure…
“It’s a… fork…” Xu Shuhan stuttered, “And it’s next to a hole in the wall at a tunnel entrance… I think, it means we shouldn’t go in, right?”
