My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 560 – A New Kind of Kin – Screamers

But the first to face the brunt of the situation was Xia Na, who was currently engaged in combat with a mutated zombie.

Despite its shrieking, the mutated zombie’s hands didn’t stop moving.

Its elongated arm propelled its talons forward, and with a “whoosh,” it swiped at Black Na’s head.

Nana, who was supposed to block the mutated zombie with her spiritual body, seemed to be frozen by the screeching, standing there dazed.

The talons passed right through Nana’s body. Although it didn’t cause her any physical harm, the sight was still quite terrifying.

“Not good, this is a mental shock!”

Black Na quickly realized what was happening. She frantically swung her scythe to block the mutated zombie’s claws, while simultaneously retreating Nana back into her own body.

After reuniting, Xia Na’s complexion turned a shade paler, and her eyes dimmed significantly.

“She’s strong… But she probably can’t scream like that again in the short term, right?”

Xia Na noticed that the mutated zombie’s eyes had lost their luster, indicating that its special frequency of screams wasn’t something it could just produce at will.

Just as she was about to make another move, she saw a second mutated zombie step forward and open its mouth…

“A chorus, really?” Xia Na was immensely frustrated. In terms of close combat skills, this mutated zombie was definitely no match for her. But those screams were torturous and could greatly disrupt a spiritual body, making the fight truly troublesome.

“These are my newly created kin; I call them… Screamers,” the Spider Queen announced from atop a vehicle, introducing them methodically. “They were originally designed to deal with this person,” she said, obviously referring to Ling Mo, “but I didn’t expect to capture them so easily…”

“Alright, alright, why is a zombie like you talking so much?” Xia Na interrupted her impatiently.

Even though she didn’t mean it that way, her words sounded like a mockery of Ling Mo, which Xia Na didn’t want to hear.

However, the Spider Queen was actually quite straightforward. She had probably never been reprimanded by her own kind since her “birth,” and promptly closed her mouth.

But closing her mouth didn’t mean she wouldn’t take action. Her eyes shifted slightly, and suddenly she pointed in a direction: “Over there!”

“Damn, we’ve been spotted.”

In the direction the Spider Queen pointed, Yu Shiran and Xiao Bai were tiptoeing around, preparing to sneak up and launch a surprise attack.

Particularly Xiao Bai, the panda was standing upright, trying to squeeze through an alleyway that was clearly a bit too small for it.

But the Spider Queen’s observation was sharp. Despite being distracted by Xia Na, she still managed to notice the situation in the corner.

The two Screamers immediately pounced toward Yu Shiran and Xiao Bai, and soon there was a series of muffled thuds…

…

The Spider Queen had no intention of moving, for she knew that there were two other kin nearby, watching her.

Although she didn’t understand why these kin were so fixated on a human, according to zombie thought patterns… not understanding wasn’t really an issue.

As an excellent hunter, the Spider Queen was quietly waiting for her prey to take the bait.

As soon as they appeared, they would be entangled by the Screamers, and she could take the opportunity to escape with Ling Mo.

Peering through those blood-red eyes, the Spider Queen intently watched the street bathed in a faint blood glow.

Her tentacles waved in the air, sensing the changes in airflow and temperature around her.

Should anyone approach, she would definitely notice…

Seconds felt like minutes in this tense atmosphere, each moment stretched out as if slowed down.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by in front of the Spider Queen.

“Here they come!”

The Spider Queen’s gaze immediately locked onto the figure. But soon she realized it was just an afterimage.

The real figure had appeared beside another Screamer. By the time the Spider Queen’s tentacles reached there, yet another figure had appeared beside the second Screamer.

Two identical figures, indistinguishable from each other, captured the attention of both the Spider Queen and the Screamers, but no one noticed another figure emerging behind the Spider Queen.

Whoosh!

A flash of cold light struck the cocoon on the Spider Queen’s back, and simultaneously, the cocoon bulged from the inside, exploding open through the small slit as if detonated.

However, it wasn’t fire that burst out but a pale-faced Ling Mo.

The Spider Queen had reacted as soon as she heard the sound, but the bullets that followed completely immobilized her, allowing Ling Mo time to escape.

“Phew!”

Ling Mo landed gracefully and stood beside Li Ya Lin.

“Human, you…” The Spider Queen looked at Ling Mo with some anger.

She had turned towards Ling Mo and Li Ya Lin, but the two Screamers were still chasing the two figures, until they lost their target and stopped, looking confused.

“Did you really think you could capture me that easily?” Ling Mo said, moving his body a bit.

The Spider Queen didn’t speak, as arguing wasn’t her strong suit.

Ling Mo’s easy escape irked her, and she also felt a bit lost.

The female zombies had all been quite ordinary, without any special actions, so how did they manage to achieve such a result?

Without Li Ya Lin’s help, even if Ling Mo were faster, he couldn’t have escaped in an instant. But now, looking back, it seemed so simple. How could it have succeeded right under her nose?

This defeat led the Spider Queen to unconsciously ponder these questions.

Of course, she wouldn’t know that the actions and performance of the female zombies had been orchestrated by Ling Mo from the moment they arrived.

With Black Silk acting as a relay, Ling Mo’s mental commands could be sent to every Zombie Puppet simultaneously.

Their actions might have seemed unremarkable, but in reality, they were all parts of a plan.

Xia Na’s diversion, Yu Shiran and Xiao Bai’s distraction of forces, Li Ya Lin drawing attention, and Ye Lian’s crucial shot at the key moment.

It was these seemingly insignificant details that, when combined step by step, led to this outcome.

Inside the cocoon, besides coordinating and planning, Ling Mo also did something else.

He covered his entire body with his mental tentacles, and then, at the moment Li Ya Lin made her move, he solidified all these tentacles and expanded them outward.

Simple, practical, and with Ling Mo’s strong mental power, he forcefully tore through the “spider silk.”

After Ling Mo freed himself, Xia Na and the others, who were entangled with two Screamers, suddenly erupted into action.

Their speed and strength were further enhanced, and the twin Shanas coordinated with each other, their scythes drawing cold lights, quickly cornering one of the Screamers.

Yu Shiran, in perfect sync with the two Mutated Beasts, often stayed back to launch surprise attacks, while Xiao Bai was exceptionally brave. Each time Black Silk exerted force and briefly constrained a Screamer, the panda would pounce like it was injected with adrenaline, slapping and scratching, finishing it off with a signature Panda Fall.

By the time it got back up, the Screamer that was hit was in a sorry state, barely alive but unable to move.

The situation quickly became one-sided, and the other two Screamers, who wanted to get close to the Spider Queen, were also thrown out by Ling Mo’s tentacles.

After exchanging a glance with Ling Mo and receiving his consent, Li Ya Lin eagerly joined the fray.

Blood splattered all over the street, creating a scene of chaos, but in this small area, the atmosphere was particularly tense.

No matter how one looked at it, the Spider Queen was suddenly at a disadvantage.

“It’s useless,” the Spider Queen suddenly said.

“What?” Ling Mo was startled.

“Anyway… it’s useless,” the Spider Queen seemed to have no intention of explaining.

“What exactly are you saying…” Ling Mo instinctively felt a sense of foreboding and pressed on.

The Spider Queen sized up Ling Mo from head to toe and said, “You could become even more perfect. And I underestimated you.”

“Not good! She’s going to run!”

Ling Mo instantly reacted, shooting out a dozen mental tentacles.

But the Spider Queen’s speed was indeed extraordinary. A thin strand shot out from her wrist, attaching itself to an overhead cable, and she sprang up as if propelled from the ground, suddenly appearing mid-air.

Whoosh!

Although Ling Mo’s tentacles were fast, they only reached halfway before he could only watch helplessly as the Spider Queen leapt onto another rooftop.
