My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 544 – The Face of Mockery

“Wow, that was fast!” Xiao Ming exclaimed.

He had just caught his breath, shaking off the terror of a near-death experience, when he was plunged into the euphoria of survival. His attention shifted completely to the battlefield, no longer caring about his own legs.

“Their coordination is incredible!” Guan He remarked.

It was clear that the battle was a result of Ling Mo and Li Ya Lin working together, but the level of understanding between them was blindingly impressive.

In the midst of such an intense battle, they managed to synergize without any verbal communication—it was beyond Guan He’s comprehension.

It made sense that he couldn’t figure it out. With just a thought from Ling Mo, as he made his move, Li Ya Lin received his instructions simultaneously, achieving almost perfect synchronicity.

Such coordination was impossible for others to replicate; it was Ling Mo’s unique psychic ability.

At that moment, Li Ya Lin had eerily appeared behind the mutated zombie, landing a solid kick in its back.

Her strength was immense, her speed, lightning-fast. Though her kick didn’t severely harm the muscular zombie, it sent him tumbling to the ground once more.

Before the zombie could recover, Li Ya Lin had already “thump” landed on top of it.

Her action seemed graceful, yet the tremor that followed told everyone present that if it had been them under her foot, their internal organs might have been expelled through their mouths.

“She’s amazing! Definitely a strength-enhanced type!”

Seeing the situation well in control, Guan He couldn’t stop chattering excitedly, “This is too awesome. Such great teamwork, no wonder… What were those bosses thinking, picking a fight with this powerhouse? It’s a death wish… If they had cooperated nicely from the start and not offended him, maybe they could have invited our captain to join us. We wouldn’t have suffered such losses from a zombie ambush…”

Huang Duo’s expression turned sour in an instant, as he shot Guan He a glare, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

However, Guan He didn’t notice and continued, “Look, look! That kick just blocked the zombie’s path as it tried to rise, sending it tumbling back down! What’s with that zombie anyway? Every time it tries to get up, it’s all wobbly. Could it be that it’s been knocked senseless? It’s just too weak! Hahaha!”

Ling Mo rolled his eyes on the side. Was it really about being weak? Any other zombie would have been flattened by now! But this muscular zombie was far from its limits!

And this guy, incessantly babbling—if it weren’t for Ling Mo’s extensive practice in multitasking, he might have been seriously disturbed.

For a mental ability user, concentration is crucial. Without it, the strongest psychic abilities and all the mental energy in the world would be worthless.

Although the muscular zombie was resilient, it was still just one. As long as they kept it cornered, it was only a matter of time before it was beaten to death.

But just then, chaos erupted from behind!

An unknown liquid!

This mass of liquid suddenly appeared above Ling Mo and the others, with no indication of where it had come from.

Guan He didn’t even have the chance to shout when he looked up in a reflex, whispering under his breath, “Virus… virus…”

The liquid above was a striking blood red, looking just like fresh blood!

Its appearance was so eerie that the first thought was that it must be the work of zombies.

There was no way to dodge in this situation. Everyone’s attention had just been drawn to the muscular zombie, how could they react in time now?

Despair painted the faces of Guan He and his two companions in an instant, while Ling Mo remained unbothered, not even lifting his head.

“Boom!”

A large splash of liquid poured down from above, but after closing his eyes for a moment, Guan He realized that the anticipated soaking from head to toe… didn’t happen.

Could it be that he was so frightened that he didn’t feel it?

Impossible, this was supposed to be a drenching, there’s no way…

So, Guan He cautiously opened his eyes a slit…

“Ah!!” He couldn’t help but cry out.

At his shout, Huang Duo and Xiao Ming also came back to their senses and opened their eyes.

And what they saw left them dumbfounded once again.

All that liquid was suspended right above their heads, as if separated by a thin membrane, not falling at all.

But having it just hang there was quite terrifying at first glance!

Fortunately, as they opened their eyes, the liquid also began to spill to the side, pouring straight onto a silhouette.

That figure, sprawled on the oil tanker, turned out to be a bizarre-looking female mutated zombie.

To block the liquid in such a critical moment with such an inconceivable method, and even manage to splash it back onto the female zombie’s face, demonstrated a reaction speed and a control of powers that were simply impressive!

However, before they could even marvel at this, they saw Ye Lian and Xia Na leap up, forcing the female zombie back.

This female mutated zombie had an incredibly large mouth and a similarly huge belly, making her look very odd, like a pair of normal legs with a giant round bucket attached.

But the bucket zombie, despite its strange appearance, was not slow.

As soon as Xia Na and the others approached, the bucket zombie immediately backed away.

“What on earth is she carrying in her belly?” Ling Mo frowned in thought.

These three were of no use when facing such mutated zombies, which were far more troublesome than ordinary zombies.

Whether it was their mode of attack or their methods, everything was different from ordinary zombies.

This was a mutated type that, even at a low level, could contend with high-level zombies.

Had Ling Mo not been there, the three of them would have been wiped out when they first encountered the bucket zombie.

It seemed that this bucket zombie was much more cunning; after all, its head hadn’t shrunk, indicating a reasonable level of intelligence. It at least knew to follow behind the muscular zombie, waiting for an opportunity to strike—and it almost succeeded.

“Roar!”

While Ling Mo helped avert another disaster, his coordination with Li Ya Lin never ceased.

The muscular zombie, used as bait by its kind, was now being used as a punching bag under the relentless pressure from Ling Mo and Li Ya Lin.

Every time he tried to stand up, Ling Mo would deliver a Mental Strangulation, and then Li Ya Lin would kick him back to the ground, seizing the opportunity to give him a harsh beating.

As he struggled to his feet again, the process repeated itself in a timely cycle.

On the front with the bucket zombie, the liquid she spat out was so lethal that Ye Lian and Xia Na, one on each side, kept her at a safe distance.

The bucket zombie posed a huge threat to humans, but against other zombies… she really could only sneak behind her own kind to scavenge for easy pickings.

Guan He and his group didn’t understand why the bucket zombie, after spitting once, didn’t do it again, assuming she had run out of ‘ammunition’.

When it dawned on them, Guan He and Huang Duo rushed forward with loud shouts.

After all, being mere bystanders felt pretty bad; they were battle-hardened warriors, and standing idly by was just too damaging to their pride!

Especially Huang Duo, who was eagerly climbing onto a fuel tanker with a military spike in his hand.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he appeared, the bucket zombie’s attention immediately shifted to him.

“Ah~ptoo!”

With a wide-open mouth, a stream of liquid shot straight out from her throat, aiming directly at Huang Duo who had just popped his head up.

“Damn!!”

Huang Duo, shocked and horrified, let go of his grip and tumbled down.

He rolled and crawled under the truck for cover, then nervously poked his head out again.

Fortunately, although splattered a bit, his skin was unscathed.

But his relief lasted less than two seconds before he freaked out.

The liquid was corrosive! Although not strong, his clothes were already starting to smoke!

In a frantic scramble to undress, Huang Duo thought to himself in disbelief, “Do I have a face that just invites ridicule? Did I just happen to encounter the zombie producing more liquid?”

Seeing Huang Duo’s close call, Guan He wisely retreated in a hurry.

Better to be a spectator than to make a fool of oneself by stepping forward.

He now fully understood that his abilities were nowhere near the same level as Ling Mo and the others; trying to show off in front of them was simply out of the question…

Yet, Huang Duo stubbornly refused to give up, convincing himself it was just a streak of bad luck. So, a few seconds later, he resolutely climbed up again.

“Ah~ptoo!”

“Bang!”

Forced to jump down once more, Huang Duo’s face had turned completely black, his expression one of utter despair: “Who have I offended?”
