My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 1013: Fool is Actually a Nickname

In the rush, Ling Mo only caught a vague glimpse of a silhouette, but he was certain it wasn’t Xia Na or Li Yalin…

Before he could say anything, the figure grabbed him and dragged him deeper into the concrete tunnel.

The “Giant Face” was hot on their heels, but to Ling Mo’s surprise, this shadowy figure was incredibly fast… And as they moved, Ling Mo gradually noticed a layer of black fog forming around them…

Could it be… a black fog monster?!

Ling Mo was instantly shocked. He peered through the gaps in the fog at the figure, shaking his drowsy head vigorously. It seemed his body had reached its limit, causing his vision to blur…

“No, it’s not just my eyes…” Ling Mo quickly realized.

The black fog seemed to be “secreting” from the pores of this figure, making it appear shrouded in a dark, shadowy mist no matter how he looked…

“Whoosh!”

After sprinting nearly two hundred meters, the figure finally stopped in a corner, pressing Ling Mo’s Zombie Puppet against the wall. As the sound of rushing footsteps swept past them, Ling Mo finally exhaled a sigh of relief, and the figure released him.

When the figure looked at him, Ling Mo’s heart skipped a beat.

Blood-red, lidless eyes… They were identical to the ones he had seen in the black fog. Witnessing them up close was even more terrifying… These eyes seemed to have a 360-degree view, as if several people were staring at you from different angles… Whatever you planned to do, any subtle change in expression, nothing escaped those eyes…

“Who are you?” Ling Mo quickly regained his composure and asked with a frown.

He didn’t intend to hide his ability to speak… Since this figure helped him escape and even gestured to him, it indicated that this black fog monster not only knew something about him but also possessed considerable intelligence… The question now was, friend or foe?

“Gah gah…” The figure waved its arms, emitting a strange sound.

Seeing no reaction from Ling Mo, it repeated, “Gah gah gah…”

“Like I could understand that… But if you respond, it means you can understand me, right?” Ling Mo probed.

To his surprise, the black fog monster suddenly became anxious. It pointed to its mouth and let out a series of frantic “gah gah” sounds.

“Are you trying to say… you can’t speak?” Ling Mo thought for a moment, frowning, and asked.

“Gah gah!” The black fog monster nodded vigorously.

Ling Mo stared at it for a couple of moments, then suddenly reached out his hand towards it.

As his fingers began to penetrate the ink-like black fog, the creature abruptly grabbed his arm and pulled him up.

The Zombie Puppet was completely powerless to resist now; after that burst of energy, its body had utterly collapsed. Yet, strangely, this body didn’t instinctively sever the psychic link like previous Zombie Puppets did when pushed to their limits. Ling Mo pondered for a moment, suspecting it had something to do with the peculiar conditions underground. Although his psychic power was restricted here, his localized abilities were enhanced. This was clearly an unexpected boon for Ling Mo.

“What are you trying to do?” The Zombie Puppet’s voice was raspy, but the words were still discernible.

The creature ignored him, dragging him deeper into the space.

Ling Mo then realized they were hiding in that previously spacious area…

After a short distance, Ling Mo felt something unusual beneath the silt. He wobbled and glanced down, shocked to find some half-buried bones in the mud… In some places, the muddy water was stained with strange colors, triggering unsettling associations in Ling Mo’s mind, causing his stomach to churn. Of course, it was his main body that was reacting… The Zombie Puppet, even if it did, wouldn’t feel it given its current state… ṟ𝒶𝐍οᛒĘṤ

“Hey…”

The creature abruptly turned its head, glaring at him with those fierce eyes, and gestured for silence.

“Black Silk?” Ling Mo asked tentatively.

The creature continued to stare at him… but after a second, it turned away and kept moving forward.

“Damn…”

What kind of situation was this… A Monster leading him through such a place, dragging him along… Judging by the size and feel of the hand, this Monster was likely female, but the thought of holding hands with a creature shrouded in black smoke made Ling Mo shiver.

The worst part was, he had no idea what the creature intended, nor did he have any autonomy…

“Forget it… At least the task of delaying the Giant Face is done. Let’s see… If it turns out to be hostile, I can sever the psychic link at any time…” Ling Mo thought to himself.

Just then, the black fog monster suddenly stopped, then pointed ahead.

“Want me to look?” Ling Mo speculated on its intent as he glanced in that direction.

“Boom…”

A muffled sound suddenly echoed, startling Ling Mo. Though not particularly loud, in such a silent and eerie place, it was akin to a thunderclap…

The black fog monster seemed unfazed, tugging Ling Mo along as they slowly approached the direction from which the sound emanated…

“Ling Mo?” Yuwen Xuan called out again.

Ling Mo snapped back to reality, pulling Yu Shiran along, “Let’s go first.”

The situation with the zombie puppet was reaching a critical point, but Xia Na and the others couldn’t be neglected either… Plus, the inexplicable monster was nothing compared to Xia Na and her group. Ling Mo had a vague suspicion in his mind, hoping to find an opportunity to verify it soon…

If his guess was correct, then…

“Well… if the monster gets here first, we’ll try to delay it. So… try to make it back in two minutes… no, one and a half minutes,” Yuwen Xuan said, ruffling his hair.

Xu Shuhan nodded, “Okay…”

This was already a very optimistic estimate… Facing a horde of monsters in such a narrow environment without any firearms, promising one and a half minutes was already pushing their limits.

If it were just Yuwen Xuan, he might extend that time by another twenty seconds, but the outcome would be… life or death.

Xu Shuhan thought similarly; if she were alone, she might also hold out a bit longer…

In fact, as she nodded, a thought popped into her head. Why agree? She was only here to help… But she quickly realized this was fear magnified. Although that’s how it seemed, human relationships aren’t always defined by simple worth…

“No…,” Xu Shuhan suddenly shook her head, “I’m a zombie now… so it’s humans and zombies…”

While she was lost in thought, Ling Mo had already spoken, “You sounded quite impressive saying that… if only your appearance didn’t ruin the mood…”

“Haha… hurry up!” Yuwen Xuan urged, adding, “Watch out for the Progenitor…”

In fact, as soon as he finished speaking, Ling Mo had already turned with Yu Shiran…

“The black fog has thinned a lot here, fool. Can you find all the tunnel entrances? Concrete tunnels… side paths… anything,” Ling Mo said anxiously as he ran.

“I’ll try… and can you stop calling me a fool?” Yu Shiran replied.

“It’s a nickname…”

“Don’t assume a twelve-year-old knows nothing, okay… Ah, ahead! And to the left!”

The two quickly searched along the passage, while the dense sound of approaching monsters echoed relentlessly within.

One minute and thirty seconds… where exactly was the entrance to the pool?
