My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 711 – Dude, We Really Have a Connection!

“So, you’re saying you wanted to evolve into this by yourself?” Ling Mo asked tentatively.

His voice perfectly masked a faint “click” sound. The door handle had stopped moving, and the door lightly shook, revealing a narrow, inconspicuous gap.

But Ling Mo wasn’t in a hurry to escape. This Zombie saw him as someone it could kill at any moment, so it wouldn’t strike immediately. Ling Mo took this opportunity to extract some information from its mouth.

Bighead answered proudly, “Hmph, do you even have to ask? Have you ever seen another Zombie that looks like me? However, based on my memory, you humans all wish you could turn into something like me. How about it? Were you stunned by my beauty just now?”

“Yeah, scared me to death…” Ling Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth. He really meant this; there was no pretense.

But… what human would want to turn into that!

“Hahahaha…” Bighead was very pleased. It looked at Ling Mo like an ant, but this ant was interesting enough that it temporarily didn’t have the urge to crush him.

“So, can every Zombie become like you?” Ling Mo further inquired.

That kind of gaze made Ling Mo uneasy, but it wasn’t enough to make him lose his temper.

Bighead found Ling Mo increasingly interesting. This human actually dared to ask it questions!

In fact, Bighead had encountered human Survivors before, but those human Survivors became extremely frantic as soon as they saw him. When they heard him speak, they would show expressions of both fear and disgust, shouting things like “Monster.”

But aside from appearing very surprised when he first saw it, this human showed no particular signs of terror.

Bighead had high Intelligence, which meant it was more dangerous than typical Zombies but also more curious and eager to show off.

Bird Zombie was its Mate… but regarding this, Ling Mo always felt the Zombie’s gender was a mystery… However, Bird Zombie lacked Intelligence and couldn’t engage in real conversation like Ling Mo could…

“Hehe, humans really do ask a lot of questions. But that’s good. My Mate never chats with me, isn’t interested in human affairs, and only knows how to eat… sigh.” Bighead finished with a dramatically exaggerated sigh and shook his head.

Ling Mo’s eyes widened in disbelief. What kind of relationship drama are you trying to pull here? You killed them… and ate them! And you still have the nerve to say they only knew how to eat… If Bird Zombie could come back to life, they’d be infuriated all over again!

“So, can they or can’t they?” Ling Mo pressed further.

He didn’t have time to listen to a Zombie’s domestic squabbles!

It’s not touching, it’s downright creepy…

“Impatient human…” Bighead glanced sideways at Ling Mo, squeezing his small eyes and casting a resentful look that sent a chill down Ling Mo’s spine, almost making him want to bolt right there and then…

“Actually, it might be… what you humans call the influence of the Subconscious.” Bighead looked smug again, squinting with anticipation at Ling Mo’s reaction.

Although it looked down on humans, Bighead still found it quite enjoyable when a human sought its wisdom.

Ling Mo’s mind raced – so it was the Subconscious…

This means an individual’s thoughts are also combined with the virus.

He hadn’t considered this before…

“So, that’s how it is…” Ling Mo said thoughtfully, nodding.

“Hehe, as one of your human sayings goes, dude, we really have a connection,” Bighead suddenly said.

Ling Mo almost fell over. He had already deciphered from Bighead’s words that this Zombie had intentionally followed them. But it didn’t seem to be seeking revenge for Bird Zombie, rather it had the same goal as Bird Zombie. And it was even greedier. It not only wanted to devour Ling Mo’s group but was also interested in the “Wig.”

This isn’t a connection; it’s tailing! Stalking! Sabotage!

“You don’t believe me? Human, you seem very curious about us, and I am also very curious about humans. Isn’t that what you call like-minded spirits? Hahahaha…” Bighead clapped his hands, then suddenly gave Ling Mo a cold look. “The most intriguing thing about you… How did you end up with those Zombies? One of those Zombies even had other Creatures on it…”

As Bighead spoke, his eyes grew darker in color. “With you by my side, I could have an endless supply of advanced food, just like a broom, right?”

“A broom?”

Ling Mo quickly realized it meant “Wig.”

But the implications of those words sent chills down Ling Mo’s spine. No wonder it hadn’t attacked yet; it was planning something far more sinister!

It was viewing Ling Mo as a food production machine!

“Zombies have learned to enslave humans now… but you’re completely mistaken…”

Ling Mo’s gaze also turned increasingly serious.

He had initially thought this Zombie was attracted by the scent of “Wig,” but it turned out its real target was him. And there was no doubt about it – falling into its hands would be a fate worse than death. Ye Lian and the others would be treated as the first batch of “advanced food.”

This Zombie wasn’t just the most intelligent one he had encountered, it was also the most cunning and ruthless!

“Come over here obediently, or I’ll start eating you from your toes. That should be quite unpleasant for fragile humans, right? Hahaha…” Bighead beckoned him with a finger.

This gesture was likely something it had learned from its memories, and it wasn’t a bad imitation…

“You want to eat me? Let’s see if you have what it takes…”

Before Ling Mo could finish his sentence, the door to the room burst open with a loud “bang.” At the same moment, it was as if he had been yanked by an invisible rope, sending him flying backward.

Bighead’s reflexes were evidently quick, but just as he moved, a force suddenly struck his neck.

Bighead, having become increasingly relaxed during the conversation with Ling Mo, was caught off guard and stumbled backward.

“Human!” Bighead shouted angrily.

As Ling Mo sprang out of the restroom, his mind went blank for a moment.

But he gritted his teeth and immediately issued two psychic commands.

“Ling-Ge said we can move!” Xia Na exclaimed with bright eyes.

After dealing with the Zombies, they had planned to go look for Ling Mo, but instead, he had sent a “hold position” command.

Despite being puzzled, Ye Lian and the others strictly adhered to it.

Now, they finally received Ling Mo’s next directive.

Bighead was momentarily caught off guard by Ling Mo’s sneak attack. By the time Bighead landed, Ling Mo was already at the restroom door.

Just as Bighead charged towards him, there was a sudden “snap” sound, and he saw Ling Mo coldly tossing a lighter onto the floor.

“Huh?”

Bighead was momentarily stunned. Then he noticed that the ground was wet!

The smell of alcohol had been masked by the previous burnt odor. Ling Mo had managed to spill alcohol all over the place while being flung backward!

The ignited flame landed on the alcohol, and in an instant, a wall of fire sprang up between Bighead and Ling Mo.

Without hesitation, Ling Mo turned and sprinted towards the mall.

Such a small fire wasn’t going to seriously harm Bighead, especially since it wasn’t directly set on him. It was mainly meant to buy some time.

From Bighead’s previous comments, Ling Mo knew that the Bird Zombie had survived a sea of flames, giving him an idea of the defensive capabilities of King level Zombie skin.

He didn’t expect to burn this one half to death, just to slow it down a bit…

“Arrghhhh!”

Bighead’s furious roars echoed from behind, accompanied by its angry shout, “You’ve lost even the most basic trust! Damn humans! You’ve broken my heart!!!”

Ling Mo didn’t look back, he just poured all his strength into running forward.

As the flames rose, Bighead was momentarily startled, jumping around in a panic.

The unfortunate image of the Bird Zombie was still fresh in his memory, and his curiosity about flames had now turned into sheer terror.

However, amidst his rage-filled cursing, Bighead quickly realized that the commotion seemed rather small…

The blue flames were burning in a straight line, not spreading out…

Other than a few small flames licking his feet, he hadn’t been seriously affected at all.

The tiny flames hadn’t even hurt his skin, let alone caused any significant damage.

However, his pant legs were singed with a big patch of yellow, and the indignation from being made a fool drove Bighead into a frenzy.

“Humans!!!”
