My Girlfriend is a Zombie Chapter 1333: Girl, All Men Must Die

When Ling Mo and the young girl exchanged glances through the window, he had already perceived something peculiar about her. Her current words only served to solidify his suspicion. Consequently, instead of displaying any astonishment, a smile of contentment graced his features as he proceeded directly towards the young girl, leaving the door ajar.

There was a strategic benefit to this approach… A shut door often cultivates more intrigue than one left open. In any case, with numerous individuals observing their actions, both overtly and covertly, it was prudent to act with transparency and avoid drawing undue suspicion.

This distinction highlighted a divergence between Ling Mo and Zhang Dongyao himself… Despite finding himself within the adversary's territory, under their watchful eyes, Ling Mo maintained an demeanor of remarkable composure and ease.

According to Ling Mo's philosophy, this was termed "loose outside, tight inside." However, the zombies had perverted the meaning of this phrase… Xia Na, with earnest correction, declared, "I am soft outside, tight inside. I just verified this."

"Verified with what and where?!" Ling Mo retorted, having utilized his primary consciousness to re-examine her right before their encounter.

It turned out she was speaking the truth.

"Let's return to the matter at hand," Ling Mo, in control of Zhang Dongyao's body, instructed himself to sit beside Anan. The young girl's gaze darted momentarily, yet she remained motionless.

This gave Ling Mo pause… The girl's mental fortitude was remarkably mature for her age. Perhaps, from her perspective, regardless of whether Zhang Dongyao had undergone a transformation, her predicament remained the same…

An inescapable reality. Even if she were to flee or cry out, it would yield no benefit, only escalate the risk of harm. Consequently, she opted for a calm confrontation.

However, comprehension differs from execution. Even seasoned adults struggle to consistently achieve such a state…

"What precisely transpired with you? And the zombies?" Ling Mo inquired.

The bat possessed limited knowledge, leading Ling Mo to suspect a complexity exceeding his initial assumptions. Now, observing the young girl's reaction, his intuition intensified.

The young girl cast a silent glance at him, then, after a brief pause, lifted her attire.

Ling Mo’s thoughts involuntarily scattered. Wait, I'm not a Loli-con!

Yet, in the subsequent moment, his expression darkened considerably.

Resting upon the young girl's abdomen was a… translucent entity, resembling a pupa. It was evidently integrated with her physique.

The young girl herself then whispered, "They told me that once it matures, I will merge with it. And then we will grow together. This way, I won't have to endure the slow process of growing up. I will become a zombie, just like them."

At this juncture, she lowered her head and added, "If I am obedient and heed their words, they will accelerate the recovery of my intellect, enabling me to re-enter the world in a transformed state."

"Do you wish to become a zombie?" Ling Mo probed.

The young girl remained silent for a duration before shaking her head. In truth, Ling Mo had already discerned her answer through her eyes, rendering her verbal response unnecessary…

He finally grasped the reason behind the young girl's remarkable composure… Burdened with a ticking time bomb, she was left with only two choices: self-annihilation or silent resignation.

"Can this be removed?" Xia Na inquired.

She harbored no particular sympathy for the girl's plight… Nevertheless, curiosity was undeniably piqued. To deliberately prolong a human existence while simultaneously threatening an inevitable transformation into a zombie… Such a method was unprecedented in her experience.

Furthermore, Ling Mo's disposition had subtly influenced her. At the very least, she was not contemplating the possibility of consuming the young girl… and this was without even resorting to Nana mode.

A commendable improvement indeed.

"I… I am uncertain," the young girl responded, shaking her head.

Ling Mo extended a psychic tendril for a closer examination, ultimately abandoning any attempt at removal.

"So, is it because of this that you can sense our presence?" Ling Mo inquired.

"Mm… Those… zombies stated that with this attached to me, they can perpetually track me. However, I will remain unaware of their location. To ascertain their whereabouts, I must awaken it," the young girl stated, her lips pursed.

No further explanation was necessary… It was evident she had already activated the pupa.

"Why did you do that?" Ling Mo asked, perplexed.

The young girl bit her lip, gazed at him, and articulated, "I wished… I wished for you to perish. Earlier, in the Laboratory, had I pointed out your location, you would have eliminated me to silence me, correct? Then you would die, and you would not kill me. This would allow me to protect Sister Wang Lin…"

Ling Mo remained stunned for several seconds, the realization dawning upon him… The "you" Anan referred to was the former Zhang Dongyao.

Observing the young girl's placid gaze, and hearing her resolutely articulate a murder plot, Ling Mo experienced a sudden wave of unease.

An individual who might be insignificant in the eyes of others could be meticulously planning the demise of ordinary lives…

However, Ling Mo also comprehended the reason behind the young girl's initial candor… She possessed an intimate understanding of Zhang Dongyao; even with his aura no longer appearing human, she could discern that this was not the real Zhang Dongyao.

This was the essence of seeing through superficial appearances…

Yet, Ling Mo was certain she had not overheard any of their preceding conversation…

Silently observing the young girl's unexpected maturity, Ling Mo mused internally, "This is a GPS tracker locked onto Central City zombies. It allows her to sense both general zombies and those from Central City simultaneously. She utilized this to pinpoint the bat."

"Furthermore, our initial deduction was flawed. These Survivors are all undercover agents deployed by Central City, destined to transform into variation zombies eventually."

After a considerable pause, Black Silk's voice finally emerged, asking, "So, what's our next move?"

"What other choice do we have?" Ling Mo replied.

Following an extended discussion, he turned his attention to the young girl. "Anan, is that correct? You must understand your current predicament..."

At this critical juncture, she represented a crucial element, orchestrated entirely by Zhang Dongyao.

Indeed, she possessed extensive knowledge as one of the "spies."

However, her true "purpose" remained that of a volatile asset and a directional marker.

Neither Zhang Dongyao nor the Falcon Camp were aware of this.

"Therefore, I require your cooperation," Ling Mo stated.

The young girl contemplated for a moment before inquiring, "Are you going to kill my sisters otherwise?"

"No." Ling Mo managed a strained smile. "I will assist you in dealing with this GPS."

The young girl was taken aback...

Ling Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth, aware that his smile likely appeared unsettling, yet he had given his best effort...

"Human, how do you intend to help her remove it?" Yu Shiran questioned mentally.

"The bat undoubtedly knows."

"Master, I am unaware."

"Then your Boss must hold that knowledge."

"...Master, do you intend to capture them alive?"

"Precisely." Ling Mo genuinely held that intention.

However, apprehending these Zombies alive would undoubtedly be a formidable challenge, perhaps exceedingly so.

"But we have a potential solution," Ling Mo added with a smile.

"Capturing Senior Zombies alive? I want to participate, I want to go!" The voice of the Senior Sister interjected eagerly.

This represented a new capability Black Silk had developed after undergoing a phase of 'growth,' even assigning it a name: Consciousness Web.

It functioned akin to the human internet, with Ling Mo serving as the central administrator and Black Silk acting as a sophisticated distribution node.

Compared to previous conversational dialogues, this Consciousness Web offered a significantly more refined interface.

Ling Mo possessed the ability to selectively shield any individual, or effectively 'mute' them. The former was rather blunt, resulting in complete auditory exclusion for the target. The latter merely prevented vocalization, proving particularly useful for the often disruptive Yu Shiran. Yu Shiran held a unique position, directly linked with Black Silk. However, with Ling Mo's 'administrator' privileges, this special connection offered little advantage.

Most importantly, this Consciousness Web integrated Black Silk's 'projection ability.'

In Ling Mo's assessment, this feature was analogous to a brain-to-brain video call, with the caveat that the immense processing demands typically limited the shared display to a single scene at any given time.

Beyond custom maps, these visual representations were no longer mere mental sketches from Black Silk but were now shared visually by Ling Mo himself, subsequently distributed by Black Silk to all users within the Consciousness Web.

This enhancement was met with considerable approval, primarily from Ling Mo. As a peculiar entity, she had not yet developed any artistic inclinations.

The most significant artistic alteration was the replacement of 'X' marks with paw prints to denote key targets...

This was utterly impractical! Who would intuitively understand that a larger paw print signified 'danger'! Regardless of its size, a paw print did not evoke a sense of peril!

"Alright, Master, we have observed your perspective. Shall I switch to our view now?" Black Silk inquired cheerfully.

Currently, their operations were divided into three distinct groups: Black Silk, Xu Shuhan, and Ling Mo's primary consciousness formed one unit; Ye Lian and the others constituted the second.

Ye Lian's group was primarily tasked with monitoring Ye Lian and remaining concealed with the rest of their contingent.

Ling Mo's immediate objective was to finalize all necessary preparations before the anticipated meeting commenced.

The moment Black Silk concluded her statement, another scene materialized before his eyes...

Truthfully, this experience felt quite peculiar to Ling Mo; was the other not simply his main consciousness? Why then did it feel as though his left and right eyes were perceiving entirely different realities!

"This is a glitch; I will implement improvements. Feedback is welcome," Black Silk helpfully commented.

Ling Mo's main consciousness rolled his eyes and glanced at Xu Shuhan, who was absently rubbing her hands, completely oblivious to the situation. "Shall we depart?"

Xu Shuhan shivered and instinctively clutched his arm. "L-let's go..."

Very well, she would simply accompany him...

The squirrel was already awaiting them outside the door... taking advantage of Director Huang's absence, she intended to guide them to a significant location.

In Ling Mo's own words, she was prepared to betray the Falcon Camp without any moral reservations.

The squirrel's transformation extended beyond merely being a 'bookworm'; from the instant she nodded in agreement to his proposal, Ling Mo perceived that this girl possessed a remarkably clear perception.

She hoped to leverage Ling Mo's capabilities to alter the current state of affairs. The underlying reason...

"Well... if things continue on this trajectory, we will inevitably perish sooner or later." The squirrel adjusted her glasses and offered a smile.

As anticipated... even the squirrel could discern the grim reality...

“By the way, why not involve Chief of Staff Su in this endeavor, since you're set on it?” Xu Shuhan inquired softly, a shade of confusion in her voice.

Ling Mo paused, contemplating before responding, “She has her own responsibilities, after all.”

“You had agreed to collaborate with her… do you perhaps have ulterior motives?” Xu Shuhan probed further.

However, Ling Mo offered no direct reply to her query.

His silence served only to solidify Xu Shuhan's suspicions.

She opened her mouth as if to speak, but ultimately decided against it, her lips sealing shut once more.

After all, her perspective was no longer entirely human… When it came to Ling Mo's choices, she found them more dependable than those of any stranger.

“Are we absolutely guaranteed to succeed?” This was the ultimate question on her mind.

As the words left her lips, an involuntary tremor ran through her once more.

Her true self was beginning to surface…

Ling Mo placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, offering words of comfort: “Fear not, for death awaits everyone…”

“I detest you,” Xu Shuhan declared through tightly clenched teeth.
