My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 1010: Survive for ⑤⓪ Seconds!

“Rustle, rustle, rustle…”

The Monsters behind were clearly approaching faster… Even with Tang Hao’s corpse as a temporary barrier, the mere sound indicated that the “meat shield” wouldn’t hold for long. Once the corpse was dealt with, all the Monsters’ attention would immediately shift to the two living humans and two Zombies here… The situation would rapidly deteriorate.

“Keep running, don’t worry about it,” Ling Mo said.

“But…”

“Just run,” Yuwen Xuan interrupted Xu Shuhan, who seemed ready to argue, “Stopping won’t help.”

Xu Shuhan paused, then fell silent. But as she glanced at Ling Mo, a hint of doubt flickered in her eyes… Ling Mo couldn’t be unaware of the danger this represented… Even if they kept running as Yuwen Xuan suggested, sooner or later those Monsters would catch up. Could it be that he had already thought of a solution?

“Damn that Progenitor…”

Ling Mo gritted his teeth… Ever since she appeared, they had been forced into a dead end… And to make matters worse, Xia Na and Li Yalin were here too. The only consolation was that all the Monsters were currently nearby, so Xia Na and the others were temporarily safe. As for Black Silk… that dog-girl had chosen to leave on her own, which meant she must have a purpose and wouldn’t die easily.

They had very little information about the Progenitor. Tang Hao surely knew a lot, but under the circumstances, getting him to reveal the exit location was already a challenge. Even the Intelligence he inadvertently disclosed was pieced together by Ling Mo. When Tang Hao spoke, he likely intended for Ling Mo to guard the answer. But in the end, he died with a malicious thought, unaware that Ling Mo wasn’t acting “alone.”

“Rustle, rustle, rustle…”

As the dense sounds rapidly closed in along the passage towards Ling Mo and the others, Ling Mo’s Zombie Puppet also appeared in the same passage. Leaning against the wall, he listened grimly to the noises coming from not far ahead.

“Indeed… their target is here…”

The Zombie Puppet silently punched the wall. He was now confused; these Monsters initially seemed to be heading “home,” but then encountered Tang Hao’s transformation, accelerating towards that direction… Could this have been calculated by the little girl? Did she anticipate the Zombie Puppet would lure these Monsters out? Or did she make a spontaneous decision upon learning about this situation?

The more he thought, the more terrifying it became!

The little girl had controlled Tang Hao and the other Survivors, but hadn’t she also manipulated them in some way? Regardless, she must have made a miscalculation somewhere, and that was the Zombie Puppet.

Perhaps in her assessment, the Zombie Puppet was categorized as similar to Xia Na and the others. But she would never have imagined that the experiment she wanted to conduct had already been realized under Ling Mo’s Control of the Zombie Puppet.

“Huff… huff…”

The Zombie Puppet took several deep breaths, estimating the distance between the main body and itself… three hundred meters! And the distance between those Monsters and Tang Hao’s corpse was probably less than two hundred meters!

Faster!

“The little girl probably wouldn’t expect me to act like this in such a situation. Because it doesn’t align with her understanding of Zombies. No matter how much she learned, it’s all rigid…” Ling Mo thought, suddenly controlling the Zombie Puppet to dash forward. At that moment, the Zombie Puppet’s speed reached an extreme, so fast that it didn’t even make a sound. Simultaneously, Ling Mo felt the Zombie Puppet’s calf muscles begin to tear…

“Faster… faster!”

One hundred meters! That’s the distance between the Monsters and the corpse!

Before they devour Tang Hao, he must do something…

“Ah!”

Running, Ling Mo suddenly spread his arms and shouted loudly, raising his head.

This shout was almost with all his might, even causing a sensation of his throat about to tear. Amplified by the passage, this angry, provocative roar instantly echoed throughout the entire passage, magnified several times over… řä𝐍ốΒËŚ

“Ahhhhh…”

The echo spread, and when the sound completely faded, the passage suddenly fell into an eerie silence… A fraction of a second later, the Monsters almost simultaneously turned their heads, hundreds of red dots in the darkness densely fixed on the Zombie Puppet.

“Ah!”

Ling Mo stopped as well, shouting again. This time, a warm stream immediately flowed from the corner of his mouth, which he wiped away without a second thought.

“Come on…” he thought to himself.

One Zombie Puppet, hundreds of Monsters… After nearly a second of confrontation, the “rustle” sound rang out again! And at this moment, the Monsters surged towards him like a tidal wave!

Even though he was controlling the Zombie Puppet, from this perspective, Ling Mo still felt his mind go blank for a moment… Just like Zombies, their most terrifying aspect was never the strength of the individual, but the overwhelming numbers and highly unified action. When hundreds of Monsters squeezed into a narrow passage and charged at him, the instinctive fear that instantly enveloped his heart was almost like a tidal wave crashing over him…

For a moment, the Zombie Puppet’s body seemed to freeze in place…

“Come on!” Ling Mo shouted once more, though this time his voice was hoarse, and the volume wasn’t as strong as before. Yet, the blood spraying from his mouth and his madman-like demeanor clearly enraged the Monsters even more… They had originally been chasing Ling Mo, and now, having found the right target, they immediately fell into a Frenzy.

The roar jolted the Zombie Puppet out of its fear. Watching the Monsters draw closer, its eyes began to deepen in blood-red hue… Its muscles started to swell inch by inch, and the clothes on its thighs and chest burst open simultaneously.

Fifty meters…

And… twenty meters!

The Zombie Puppet suddenly turned, and just as it started to run, a sharp sensation of being clawed at its shoulder sent blood spraying through the air as it sprinted away.

“Damn it! Come chase me!” Ling Mo rasped, racing forward.

Just five hundred meters… If only he could widen the gap between them and the main body to five hundred meters…

How long would that take? Perhaps less than fifteen seconds? But could he last those fifteen seconds?

The Monsters were right behind him!

The sound of their gnashing teeth and the swinging of their arms echoed clearly from behind…

“What’s happening over there?”

Even upon hearing the roar, Yuwen Xuan and the others didn’t stop. But unexpectedly, the Monsters suddenly turned around…

Recalling Ling Mo’s earlier words, “Don’t worry about it,” the three of them simultaneously looked toward him.

Did Ling Mo do something?

Among them, only Yu Shiran was certain of this thought.

But after Yuwen Xuan and Xu Shuhan exchanged glances, they too confirmed this judgment. Regardless of how Ling Mo managed it, the danger temporarily receding was undoubtedly his doing…

“Hurry!”

Yuwen Xuan suddenly accelerated… Although he didn’t know how long Ling Mo could hold out, the sooner they reached the exit, the sooner Ling Mo could ease up. At times like these, it couldn’t just be Ling Mo fighting desperately!

Xu Shuhan quickly realized this too. She suddenly gritted her teeth and surged forward, grabbing Ling Mo’s shoulder and shooting ahead like a bullet. Yu Shiran, after a brief frown, also darted forward. Her speed was almost on par with Xu Shuhan’s. She grabbed Ling Mo as well, and with both Female Zombies accelerating, their speed increased even further.

“I…”

Yuwen Xuan widened his eyes, futilely stretching out his arms. But the next moment, he sighed in defeat and suddenly shouted, “Watch out, careful not to crash! And don’t look behind me!”

“Whoosh!”

A Dark Shadow accompanied by a burst of sparks suddenly zipped past Xu Shuhan and the others…

“Ah… his butt’s on fire…”
