My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 1315: Bones That Can Make Sounds

“What’s with that so-called familiar tone of yours!” As soon as she heard Ling Mo’s words, Chuchu’s gaze involuntarily shifted to those two corpses, but she still didn’t forget to retort.

“Isn’t it obvious? We’re allies now…” Ling Mo still didn’t look back, so naturally he couldn’t see the way this King level Zombie was so furious her eyes were practically shooting daggers. He took two steps forward, then squatted beside the skeleton zombie’s corpse and said, “This guy’s bones seem to be hollow.”

Chuchu, who was about to lose her temper, froze for a moment, then quickly leapt forward, landing lightly on the other side of the corpse. “What do you mean by hollow, human? The inside of bones is naturally a honeycomb-like three-dimensional structure, don’t you know that?”

“…That’s obviously not what I meant…” Ling Mo shook his head.

His words, which clearly looked down on the Female Zombie’s intelligence, made Chuchu’s face darken, but before she could explode, he’d already started explaining on his own: “The surface of this corpse’s bones has many large holes that connect to the inside, which is why it’s so fast, and every time it attacks, there’s a whistling sound. I think the Titan’s bones are probably the same. Such a special bone structure, this is my first time encountering it.”

“Oh, and there’s another interesting thing. Their skin is also different from common zombies. Although at first glance there’s not much difference, when you knock on it, you’ll find the sound it makes is the same as the bones. In other words, this is very likely the prototype of exoskeleton evolution.”

“In any case, the differences in bones and skin have made these foreign zombies’ combat and survival abilities multiply. And the fact that the same situation appears in two foreign zombies at the same time shows that this isn’t an isolated phenomenon, but is very likely an already systematic evolution. They have a set of special methods and techniques that allow them to evolve in batches like this.”

After Ling Mo finished excitedly, he found Chuchu was looking at him in surprise: “What is it? You still don’t understand? It’s fine, I can slow down and explain again…”

“I’m not a fool!” Chuchu’s angry shout cut him off, then she asked, “I understand everything you said, but what does it have to do with us? You should know the only reason I’m cooperating with you is just to fish in troubled waters…”

“Well, the water has to be muddy first, right? Haven’t you noticed, these foreign zombies are extremely cautious in their arrangements. Although there may not be many of them right now, first, they have a large number of mass-produced Monsters growing up, and second, they themselves have a complete evolution system. That means, tough opponents like the Titan and this skeleton one, there could be many more. If it wasn’t us, but common zombies instead, how many would it take to stop them?” Ling Mo asked.

“This…” Chuchu fell silent. After a long while, she muttered, “Impossible to calculate… Common zombies don’t have the habit of acting collectively. Even if they’re forced to fight these foreign zombies, there’s no guarantee they’ll perform as they should.”

“Now you get it.” Ling Mo snapped his fingers. “In the face of absolute power suppression, how are you supposed to fish in troubled waters if you can’t even stir the water?”

This question immediately sent Chuchu into deep thought… But when she spoke again, the first thing she said was, “I’m not the leader of the alliance!”

“Oh? Fine, it’s just a title. Since you’re so insistent…”

“I’m serious! We don’t have any positions… If we really have to go by you humans’ customs, I should be the vice president. That person, he’s the real president.” Chuchu said with a frown.

Ling Mo was stunned at first, then recalled that when Simple tried to persuade him, there was also that mysterious mention… It also referred to “that person.”

“So that’s how it is… But since we’ve already formed an alliance, at the very least we should…”

Before Ling Mo could finish, Chuchu was already shaking her head to refuse: “No, he won’t show up. Don’t worry, my ability is Sensing. I can completely serve as the medium between you two.” 𝐫ÂŊöＢĚṨ

“Sensing?” Ling Mo immediately showed a curious expression. Judging from her psychic light cluster, she didn’t seem to be the type with extremely strong psychic power…

Chuchu explained, “Yes, as long as they’re my companions, I can Sensing them within a certain range.”

“I see…” Ling Mo stroked his chin, speaking meaningfully, “So this ‘certain range’ must be pretty big…”

“I’ve already shown my sincerity by telling you my ability, stop probing me, human.” Chuchu frowned. “Alright, I agree with your idea of fishing in troubled waters… In that case, the content of our cooperation should be about how to stir up the water, right?”

Ling Mo nodded. “Right. Zombies and humans, only by acting together can we really throw the situation into chaos. And in fact, this matter has to start from the human side…”

Chuchu looked at Ling Mo in confusion, but only got a complicated look in return. This made her a little angry: “Mysterious human…”

But then she saw something that made her even angrier…

By the roadside not far from the corpse, a human and a zombie were staring at each other. The former was tending to his wounds, while the latter squatted in front of him, chin resting on an axe, staring at him intently… If a human saw this scene, it would definitely be terrifying, because the latter was covered in blood and looked every bit like she was sizing up her prey.

But in Chuchu’s eyes, it was especially infuriating. And the culprit behind this violation of the natural order, Ling Mo, was even more hateful…

“Pa!”

“You broke the bandage again,” Ting said expressionlessly.

Yuwen Xuan gave an awkward laugh… At this moment, his face was pale, his eyes flickering, and he kept using too much force while bandaging, even sparks occasionally flying from the top of his head.

“Maybe I’m just too agitated… Today I met you, then witnessed with my own eyes that my only relative is really a zombie… Then I found out I’m actually the only normal person in the whole team… Even Host Xu is a zombie… My worldview is completely shattered, so… What am I even saying! Please don’t be angry, I’m a very gentle person.” Yuwen Xuan’s cheeks twitched as he forced a smile.

Ting stared at him for a while, then suddenly said, “You’re much more interesting now than before.”

“R-really! Yes, yes, this is the real me! Now I…”

“Maybe it’s because you’re bleeding,” Ting licked the corner of her mouth, interrupting Yuwen Xuan’s excited shout.

Yuwen Xuan stared blankly at her for a moment, then suddenly shouted in a trembling voice, “Ling Mo! Teach me your experience, quick!”
