My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 561 – I’m Here to Go Undercover

“Damn!” Ling Mo flung out a tentacle, following it with a swift leap upwards.

It wasn’t that he absolutely had to kill the Spider Queen, but her recent words had caught his attention.

What did she mean by that?

They moved swiftly, one after the other, through the streets lined with towering buildings.

“Whoosh!”

A thin thread hooked onto the balcony railing of a high-rise, and then the Spider Queen swung across like she was on a giant swing, shooting out another thread just before crashing into the wall, and with a graceful leap, she circled to the back of the building.

“Think you can shake me off that easily?” Ling Mo scoffed with a cold laugh, suddenly springing forward in midair as if stepping on an invisible trampoline, shooting out like a cannonball.

The distance between them closed significantly, and just as Ling Mo was about to push harder, he spotted a glimmer of fire from the corner of his eye.

Instinctively, he halted, only to see a series of blood splatters burst from the Spider Queen’s body.

“Huh?” Ling Mo was taken aback.

But soon, he noticed the Spider Queen turning to look in his direction, her expression still eerily calm.

This abnormal reaction immediately made Ling Mo sense that something was amiss.

Indeed, the barrage of attacks, although injuring the Spider Queen, also propelled her backward, and with the help of her own blood threads, she quickly widened the gap between them, crashing backwards into a narrow alley.

By the time Ling Mo quickly pursued her, the alley was empty except for a few drops of blood.

“Damn it!”

Ling Mo’s expression soured immediately.

Someone had come out of nowhere to interfere… who could it be?

Having lost the Spider Queen’s trail, catching up with her was going to be difficult. She was quite adept at escaping.

With a darkened face, Ling Mo turned back, warily eyeing the direction from which the bullets had come.

“Today I encountered another mutated zombie, looks to be of a high level, very strong. There was also a human behind it, I saved him…”

A woman carrying a Suppressed Submachine Gun emerged from the shadows, standing across the street facing Ling Mo, muttering to herself.

“Saved who? You clearly messed up my plan…” Ling Mo’s expression froze, what was this person doing?

The woman had good hearing; she caught every word of Ling Mo’s mutter.

“Are you chasing that zombie?” she asked.

“Yeah,” Ling Mo nodded.

“Oh… You wouldn’t be able to kill it anyway,” the woman said calmly.

Ling Mo was speechless. Not only did the woman not apologize, but she was also mocking him!

If it weren’t for the fact that she seemed to have intended to save someone, Ling Mo would have been tempted to confront her, but now it didn’t seem right to say anything.

“You really can’t kill her. I shot her, but she adjusted her movements in midair, and her recovery ability is very strong,” the woman stated expressionlessly.

“I know that…” Ling Mo continued to be speechless.

He was well aware of this fact; even when the Spider Queen was only a prototype, the blood on her had a very strong regenerative effect, not to mention now that she had evolved.

Ling Mo had originally planned to make use of the Air Force Corps to accomplish something, but unexpectedly, not only did it not restrict the Spider Queen, it actually made her stronger.

At least she had learned to lead a group of zombies around… and it seemed she had specifically prepared them to target him.

As the progenitor of the mutated zombies, the Spider Queen’s virus was incredibly versatile. If she put her mind to it, she could theoretically conjure up just about anything.

Having her in the city was definitely not a good thing…

However, these were details Ling Mo couldn’t share. For one, there was no need, since the Spider Queen had already fled, and secondly, there were many intricacies he couldn’t explain.

“Moreover, we’ve encountered her several times. You’re lucky this time; she didn’t have other zombies with her,” the woman added.

“Why wouldn’t she have…” Ling Mo started to object but then paused, struck by a thought.

Encountered several times? To have survived multiple encounters suggested this woman was quite capable herself!

And it sounded like she wasn’t alone…

“But the person I saved is quite overconfident…” the woman continued to mutter, causing Ling Mo to feel a surge of frustration.

Seeing Ling Mo staring at her, the woman brushed her hair aside to reveal an earpiece: “Don’t mind me, I’m just recording.”

“Don’t mind… you’re talking about me, aren’t you!” Ling Mo complained inwardly.

“I record to… keep a record, it might be useful later…” the woman paused and then explained.

“Fine…” After the Disaster Outbreak, seeing people with odd habits wasn’t unusual.

Just as Ling Mo decided to chalk it up to bad luck and leave, the woman stopped him again.

And as she spoke, two more people emerged from the corner of the street behind her.

“How did it go?” one of the men asked eagerly as soon as he appeared.

“Xia Zhi was right, the zombie was indeed here, but it got away,” the woman replied. “This guy was also after her.”

“Oh…” The man immediately looked at Ling Mo with interest. “You were chasing her alone?”

“Not exactly…” Ling Mo simply denied.

As he spoke, three figures appeared nearby, while Xiao Bai and the others had already wisely hidden themselves.

“Ah, ah, ah…” The man suddenly became excited, pointing at the scythe in Xia Na’s hand. “Did you guys kill that zombie’s minion?”

Xia Na’s scythe was covered in blood, and her clothes bore marks of being scratched by claws, making her quite conspicuous.

“Yeah,” Ling Mo confirmed.

“Wow! You guys are awesome. That Screamer is a real pain! Just one scream and I’m out of it for ages; I’ve wanted to burst my eardrums.” The man exclaimed.

“It was okay…” Although the Screamer was somewhat interesting, it didn’t excite Ling Mo that much.

“Just okay?” The man was on the verge of tears. To him, that was no small feat!

Aside from the silent Xia Zhi, the other two weren’t skilled in mental abilities and had no resistance whatsoever.

Once hit, they were completely overwhelmed.

“She had over a dozen with her at the start!” the man emphasized, clearly not pleased with the outcome.

“Ah…” Ling Mo now understood; they had clashed with the Spider Queen several times and had dealt her some losses.

If a full group of over a dozen had come looking for Ling Mo, it probably would have been a bit troublesome.

But only a bit. With Ling Mo’s mental power, in a head-to-head clash, he was confident he would come out on top.

It was unclear whether their encounters with the Spider Queen were coincidental or if she had used them for practice after bumping into them.

The man seemed like he wanted to say more, but the woman interrupted: “Um… I wanted to ask if there are any survivor teams or camps around here?”

Camps? Ling Mo immediately became alert.

People from Niepan?

Indeed, these three were Mu Chen and his group, currently searching for Team F’s new base. Their original plan was to find Ling Mo within a day or two, but plans seldom match the pace of change.

While wandering in the vicinity, they unexpectedly ran into the Spider Queen, who was doing the same.

Although they shared the same target, being of different species meant only one thing upon meeting: battle.

Fighting the Spider Queen was truly a nuisance for the trio.

They were strong and coordinated well, making it difficult for them to die, but killing the Spider Queen was another story—more difficult than reaching the heavens.

If it was just her, it might have been manageable, but she had a chorus with her!

This led to delays, and while they didn’t find Ling Mo, they ended up exhausted, staying up all night on watch, which became a common occurrence.

Normally, if they couldn’t beat other zombies, they could at least escape, but this mutated zombie seemed to have a knack for tailing them…

“It’s just so bizarre!” Mu Chen had roared more than once.

But how could they know that the Spider Queen wasn’t specifically targeting them, yet shared the same route and destination as them? It would be strange if they didn’t encounter each other.

“It seems you know something?” Xu Shuhan observed Ling Mo’s expression and said.

“There is a place…” Ling Mo was also observing them and nodded.

“That’s great! You see, it’s very dangerous for us wandering outside. If you could refer us to join, we’d be so grateful,” Mu Chen continued, “We can do any work, please take us in!” His expression was earnest, and he even seemed a bit pitiful.

“Ha… thinking about coming over as spies, huh…” Ling Mo thought amusedly.

He was almost certain these people were from Niepan. Although they didn’t have the word carved on their foreheads, to have survived so many days under the Spider Queen and still unscathed… they were disheveled, but their accomplishment was indeed impressive!

Such people could easily form a survivor team and find survivors in the city to lead. Why would they need to join someone else’s group?

Moreover, there were no other survivors around the TV station. They risked coming all this way just to do odd jobs? Who would believe that!

Deviation from the norm is a sign of deception, and Ling Mo knew this well.

“How’s it going, how’s it going? Oh, are you guys like core members or something? Could you be the boss?” Mu Chen had been chattering nonstop since he appeared, and he also cozily sidled up, “Bro, I’m Mu Chen, what’s your name? You’re a Psychic, aren’t you? So awesome…”

“…” Ling Mo looked at Mu Chen’s face, and couldn’t help but inwardly snark, “He looks way older than me, is it really okay to casually call someone ‘bro’?”

Originally, Ling Mo thought that everyone in Niepan was a poser like Jian Qi, but he didn’t expect to encounter an oddity like Mu Chen.

“This one here is Xu Shuhan; she talks to herself all day, just ignore her. And this quiet guy, that’s Xia Zhi, you can ignore him too. Hahahaha…” Mu Chen raised his arm, gesturing to sling it over Ling Mo’s shoulder, but Ling Mo subtly dodged without making a sound.

Ignore both of them? The last person Ling Mo wanted to deal with was Mu Chen himself!
