My Girlfriend is a Zombie Chapter 1325: Changing Clothes Play
Previously on My Girlfriend is a Zombie...
Right then, Xia Na drew near from behind, demonstrating her unique ability precisely when needed.
She whispered in a chilling, low voice, “We’ll let you leave now, but you must remain composed. Should you make any sound unintentionally, I will have to teach you the true meaning of obedience, understand?”
The peculiar tone, coupled with a soft exhalation, caused the female officer’s body to quiver slightly. She then gave a slow nod.
Ling Mo finally felt a sense of ease. However, before releasing her, he instructed, “Don’t turn around.”
If she were to witness the horde of Zombies, she would surely be frightened to death…
As anticipated, the female officer did not look back. Taking a profound breath, she inquired softly, “Ling Mo?”
Yet, before Ling Mo could offer a response, she answered her own question, “So it truly is you. What brings you here?”
Ling Mo was somewhat taken aback… Her initial question wasn't about how he had gained entry.
This woman was exceptionally astute, recognizing that certain inquiries would only lead to an uncomfortable situation, thus choosing to bypass them deliberately.
“It’s like this, Qianrou…”
Su Qianrou’s entire form trembled instantaneously. With Ling Mo positioned so closely behind her, this intimate proximity and his gentle tone immediately evoked a peculiar sensation within the female officer… akin to reliving past experiences with him.
And, uncannily similar, she had also been compelled back then…
She even recalled specific details that caused her breath to hitch and her body to weaken…
For a fleeting moment, Su Qianrou felt a surge of annoyance… What was this, was he attempting to charm her with his looks?
Although he did possess a pleasing appearance. But as for being a truly handsome man…
“Qianrou, when I attempted to reach you previously, why did you not respond?” Ling Mo spoke again, abruptly breaking Su Qianrou’s line of thought.
Especially as he slowly moved to face her, his intense gaze locking with hers…
“I… I was…” Su Qianrou’s face appeared even more flushed than before, her once-vigilant eyes gradually clouding with daze, her ample chest rising and falling rapidly. “I… I was stripped of a significant portion of my authority. The Communicator was also… under surveillance, but I have been monitoring your situation. Once I confirmed you were safe, I felt immense relief. Because as long as you are still alive, I…”
However, at this juncture, her eyes suddenly regained their clarity. She gazed at Ling Mo with a hint of ire, particularly when she observed his half-smile, which made her desire to strike him: “What sort of scheme are you concocting against me!”
“Merely a minor ability.” Ling Mo offered a slight smile, yet inwardly mused that he hadn't anticipated his
Su Qianrou let out a wry chuckle, her expression turning rather grim. “You speak harshly, but that is indeed the reality. However, even though Miracle Base is situated in the remote wilderness and can receive supplies via helicopter, thus avoiding any immediate crisis, if Falcon were to fall, all of you…”
“Let’s put that aside for now,” Ling Mo interjected, shaking his head. He then lowered his head, drawing near to her, and inquired in a hushed tone, “The pressing matter is, Qianrou, can you arrange a meeting for us with Falcon’s higher-ups?”
As he spoke, he offered a smile that appeared innocent and harmless.
Yet, upon gazing into his chilling eyes, Su Qianrou felt her heart pound against her ribs, a profound sense of foreboding washing over her.
Still, under these circumstances…
“I… I understand.” Ultimately, Su Qianrou gritted her teeth and conceded.
It wasn’t solely Ling Mo’s ‘gentle’ persuasion that swayed her; in that very instant, she suddenly grasped that even if she refused, no one present possessed the power to stop Ling Mo.
Given that certainty, she might as well… might as well extend a gesture of goodwill! Perhaps a future collaboration could be forged!
As she nodded, a whirlwind of thoughts coursed through Su Qianrou’s mind…
“What could a woman possibly understand?”
“Precisely! All she possesses is a woman’s tender heart!”
“To spare Ling Mo? How could you comprehend? This is for the greater good!”
When Su Qianrou lifted her gaze once more, she drew a deep breath and managed a faint smile. “Yes… for the greater good. And so, this time, please march bravely towards your demise as well.”
Only then did she finally solidify her resolve…
Shedding the lingering sense of internal conflict, Su Qianrou immediately felt a sense of lightness, her thoughts becoming remarkably clear. “Follow me; finding the Command Headquarters alone is quite challenging.”
With that declaration, she cast a meaningful glance at Ling Mo, offered a knowing smile, and then turned, walking ahead without a backward glance.
Ling Mo observed the retreating figure of the woman and couldn’t help but let out an internal sigh. As expected of a formidable woman… Despite merely having suppressed her moments prior with his psychic power and imposing presence, she had already regained her composure with such speed and reasserted a degree of control, at least for the present moment.
However, Ling Mo harbored no ill will towards this; after all, she was the established authority here…
Moreover, her display was undeniably astute—so sharp it was almost disconcerting.
That subtle smile she’d given, wasn’t it an indication that she was aware of the unseen individuals accompanying him?
“Wait, that phrasing could be misinterpreted…” Ling Mo quickly corrected his internal thought.
With a subtle gesture, all the Zombies obediently followed, keeping close behind Ling Mo like silent shadows…
Mere minutes later, a unit fully equipped and armed emerged from a warehouse.
“Attention! At ease!… You lot have no idea what those words even mean, do you?” Ling Mo feigned an authoritative tone, then sighed with feigned helplessness.
Although these Zombies were clad in military attire… particularly Xu Shuhan, Yu Shiran, Ban Yue, and Bat—these four were even outfitted like elite bio-soldiers, complete with masks—this assembly of temporary actors exhibited absolutely no soldierly bearing whatsoever.
However, in terms of sheer numbers, they did present the appearance of a combat squad.
Su Qianrou trailed behind them, her face still etched with astonishment.
She had never conceived of such a considerable number of individuals!
After a separation of several months, Ling Mo’s prowess in gathering followers had evidently advanced once more…
And these individuals… a palpable number of them didn't radiate any sense of menace.
For instance, one strikingly beautiful girl who seemed vaguely familiar—her name was likely Ye Lian…
She was clearly in a daze!
Even her clothing had been chosen and placed upon her by Ling Mo himself…
The memory of Ling Mo’s brazen declaration to her at the doorway— “Please look away, I intend to change their clothes myself. By the way, is there a men’s changing room available inside?”… Su Qianrou felt a shiver run down her spine.
Simply conjuring the image of numerous girls, completely undressed, with Ling Mo positioned in their midst, selectively adjusting their attire…
“What am I even thinking!” Su Qianrou hastily shook her head, then shot Ling Mo an embarrassed and vexed glare. This man was entirely to blame!
“Very well, with such a sudden influx of new personnel, questions are bound to arise, even for the Chief of Staff. A meeting is scheduled for tonight anyway, so let’s not delay any further—follow me directly.” Su Qianrou made a swift decision.
Her underlying intention was clear: the longer they delayed, the greater the risk of Ling Mo and his assembled group being discovered. Therefore, swift action was imperative for whatever Ling Mo intended to achieve.
This suggestion aligned perfectly with Ling Mo’s own objectives, prompting him to give a nod of agreement.
“Then, please follow me.” Su Qianrou took a couple of steadying breaths before leading Ling Mo and the rest onto the main thoroughfare.
Falcon Camp, established by carving directly into the urban landscape, resembled a partially formed city within its confines, with numerous wide avenues facilitating the movement of its inhabitants.
As they stepped onto the road, a considerable number of people were observed approaching them…
“A significant disturbance erupted at the Protective Wall, drawing numerous squads to the scene…” Su Qianrou explained in a hushed tone to Ling Mo as they walked side-by-side. However, before she could finish, a realization dawned upon her. The commotion had only just occurred, and Ling Mo’s group had managed to slip in… Could it truly be such a mere coincidence?
“This lunatic.” While contemplating, Su Qianrou began to piece together much of what had transpired. Though she had no clue how Ling Mo had orchestrated such a substantial commotion, he invariably possessed his own methods. From his humble beginnings as an ordinary superhuman, hadn't an abundance of miracles already unfolded around Ling Mo?
“Alas, in the face of escalating crises, anyone, even him, remains insignificant… This includes those Advanced Zombies as well,” Su Qianrou mused with a touch of pessimism.
“Chief of Staff!”
A considerable number of individuals would halt and offer salutes upon spotting Su Qianrou, though the majority did so with a perfunctory air.
Ling Mo observed this with a cold detachment, thinking to himself that she hadn't deceived him—she was so marginalized that even her subordinates dared to treat her with such disrespect…
Some among them couldn't help but cast furtive glances at Ling Mo and his entourage, yet Ye Lian and the others kept their gazes down, their hat brims pulled low. Despite the lingering suspicion in these onlookers' eyes, no questions were voiced.
However, just as Ling Mo presumed they would pass unnoticed, Su Qianrou suddenly stiffened and then quickly whispered to him, “Damn it, the Chief Commander is approaching.”
“Chief Commander?” Ling Mo was momentarily taken aback before his mind immediately processed the information.
That name was indeed on the list!
The current Chief Commander of Falcon—Yao Haidong!
At this juncture, Su Qianrou continued with palpable anxiety: “This individual is a superhuman, a staunch traditionalist, and one of the original founding Team Members. You could consider him an elder statesman in terms of seniority. Since Miracle Base declared its independence, these elder statesmen, who were already aligned with the aggressive faction, have progressively assumed even more influential roles. First, they installed Chief of Staff Wang to sideline me, then this man ascended to the position of Commander, ultimately becoming the supreme Chief Commander of the entire Falcon Camp. That constitutes his basic profile, but what is truly critical is that he is exceptionally challenging to deal with. Exercise caution…”
Before she could conclude, Su Qianrou had already composed herself, her countenance adopting a perfectly timed blend of icy disdain and revulsion as she fixated on the approaching Yao Haidong, her stride unwavering.
Ling Mo, in the interim, maintained an unperturbed expression, casting a subtle glance in Yao Haidong’s direction.
This man appeared to be in his middle years, yet he radiated vitality. Only the sternly set line of his lips hinted at an underlying ruthlessness, lending him an aura that was simultaneously commanding and somewhat sullen.
In contrast to Yuwen Xuan, who was an unhinged individual whether as a human or a Zombie, this man represented a completely different archetype.
As the two groups drew nearer, Yao Haidong preemptively displayed a flicker of amusement.
Yet, Su Qianrou refused to acknowledge his presence; as she drew level with him, she emitted a cold snort and swept past without so much as a backward glance.
However, at the precise moment Ling Mo and his companions were about to pass him, Yao Haidong’s voice suddenly cut through the air.
“Hold on a moment.”
