My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 545 – The Unpredictable Qigong

The two mutated zombies, aside from giving everyone a fright with their surprise attack, never found a chance to turn the tables.

The bucket zombie, despite having stored a belly full of mysterious fluid, was useless in front of Ye Lian and Xia Na, only managing to spit some at Huang Duo before being utterly pinned down on top of the tanker.

The two female zombies, one on each side, trapped the bucket zombie on the tanker with no room to move.

Working together with tacit understanding, swift as the wind, the two women quickly inflicted over a dozen cuts on the zombie.

Seizing an opening, Xia Na leapt up, standing on a solidified mental tentacle prepared by Ling Mo. She thrust her scythe forward, piercing directly into the armpit of the bucket zombie.

As blood splattered, Xia Na lifted the zombie and, with a circular swing, smashed it away.

“Boom!”

The bucket zombie hit the ground hard but quickly scrambled to its feet.

“Ahhh!!!”

Xiao Ming immediately started screaming. The peculiar female zombie had been too far away to harm them, but now they were unexpectedly on the same level.

After landing, the bucket zombie’s gaze instantly turned towards the group on the ground, its belly inflating like a balloon ready to burst.

Huang Duo recognized the action too well. As he backed away, he shouted in a rush, “It’s going to spray!”

Guan He and Xiao Ming hurriedly dodged backward, but unexpectedly, a gunshot rang out at that moment.

With the sound of the gun, the still-ascending bucket zombie burst like a punctured balloon, its explosion scattering a mix of red liquid and real flesh everywhere, a spectacular sight from the front.

Turning around, they saw Ye Lian descending quietly from the air, the sniper rifle still in her hands.

“Awesome!!!”

Guan He’s cold sweat immediately subsided.

He had seen the Thor rifle and had noted it, but he never imagined this girl could be such a sharpshooter.

He had never seen Ye Lian shoot before and had assumed, perhaps too hastily, that an ordinary person couldn’t compare to a real sniper.

But the scene that had just unfolded completely shattered his preconceptions!

To aim and shoot at a falling zombie while jumping down herself – this skill was far superior to the original owner of the Thor!

Moreover, shooting at airborne targets posed no threat to the oil depot. This was, after all, outdoors, and Ye Lian had not fired at the tanker.

Thinking it over, the scene was, in fact, a perfect coordination between Ling Mo and the women.

“Boom!”

Amidst the rain of blood, the mangled bucket zombie hit the ground, its abdomen almost obliterated.

Yet its vitality was stubbornly resilient; even in such a state, it tried to crawl over, only to be effortlessly decapitated by Xia Na, putting an end to it.

Taking advantage of the moment when their view was obstructed, Xia Na used the tip of her scythe to pry open the back of the bucket zombie’s head, extracting the Virus Nest hidden within.

Li Ya Lin and Ling Mo had been suppressing the muscular zombie for a while, and with Ye Lian and Xia Na joining in succession, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

The three female zombies surrounded the muscular zombie for the last time after it had been kicked to the ground. When they stepped aside ten seconds later, all that was left on the ground was a mangled corpse.

Guan He and his two companions turned pale at the sight. When they looked at the three girls again, they found it somewhat difficult to meet their eyes…

Faced with three such formidable young ladies, they felt utterly ashamed of themselves!

“Hmph…” Huang Duo let out a weak, frustrated grunt.

“What are you hopping around for?” Guan He glanced at him and said.

Huang Duo’s face flushed with anger. The more Guan He spoke, the more Huang Duo felt like a useless flea, utterly embarrassed.

This feeling of powerlessness was extremely vexing and infuriating!

“These two zombies were quite tough to deal with,” Ling Mo summarized.

“Ah? But it looked like you had no pressure at all!” Xiao Ming said, his eyes shining.

Guan He coughed awkwardly and said, “Captain, you don’t have to comfort us. It’s our lack of strength; we couldn’t be of much help.”

“Huang Duo did distract the zombie’s attention quite a bit,” Ling Mo said with a smile.

Huang Duo was stunned; he hadn’t expected Ling Mo to actually praise him.

Actually, his attitude had been quite apparent, and Ling Mo must have noticed it by now.

Under these circumstances, not to mock him was already something, but to actually speak up for him?

For a moment, Huang Duo didn’t know how to respond, nor could he figure out whether Ling Mo was genuinely praising him or sarcastically mocking him…

“But that was still pretty dangerous. There are other ways to distract attention,” Ling Mo added, then turned to Xiao Ming before he could reply, “Your leg doesn’t hurt anymore?”

The excitement on Xiao Ming’s face immediately faded, and his smile froze: “Ouch! My leg!!”

“He starts howling the moment you ask…”

After quickly bandaging Xiao Ming’s injured leg, the group entered the oil depot.

Huang Duo followed with a complex expression, remaining silent all the way.

However, from entering the depot to retrieving the oil, they encountered no obstacles other than two or three ordinary zombies wandering inside.

“It seems those two were the bosses of this fuel storage,” Guan He said, carrying a barrel of oil. “Both were sneaky attackers. It would have been troublesome if we’d run into them here in the depot. Xiao Ming, getting hurt when you did was really timely. You deserve some praise for that!”

“Guan Bro…” Xiao Ming called out with a pained expression.

“Hahaha! Don’t mind it; I’m praising you!” Guan He laughed.

“That’s true,” Ling Mo nodded in agreement.

He had a pretty good impression of these two. Even though they hadn’t been much help, at least they hadn’t caused too much trouble.

The accident Xiao Ming had caused seemed troublesome at first, but in hindsight, it indeed turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

“Ah, you guys…”

Xiao Ming’s tears flowed freely as he never expected his heroes to say the same. He felt as if his image was completely ruined…

“Captain, how did those two zombies mutate like that? And what on earth is inside that female zombie’s belly?” Guan He asked curiously.

Ling Mo’s mouth twitched, and he glanced at the oil drums on their backs: “What do you think?”

“Uh…” Guan He immediately felt a chill, “Drinking oil? Damn! These zombies really… anything can promote their mutation! Isn’t there any justice left?!”

While Guan He was still rambling, Ling Mo had already turned to Xiao Ming: “What’s your special ability?”

Before, he had only heard his screams, but hadn’t seen his abilities in action, so Ling Mo couldn’t help but ask now.

Xiao Ming smiled shyly and then stretched out his hand towards an iron door nearby.

Thirty seconds passed…

One minute passed…

The smile on Xiao Ming’s face had disappeared, and his whole person was grinding his teeth in frustration, his face turning beet red. Both hands were extended forward, struggling as if trying to perform Qigong, but it looked more like he was constipated.

“What’s he doing?” Ling Mo asked, looking back.

“Uh… He has some control issues with his ability,” Guan He said, feeling embarrassed and quickly added, “How about it, Captain, can you give some pointers?”

“What’s the problem?” Ling Mo asked again.

“He can’t use it when he’s nervous, it’s hit or miss!” Guan He explained, “And he’s not quick to react in combat.”

“Let me take a look first,” Ling Mo said.

As soon as his words fell, there was a loud “thud,” and a bulge suddenly appeared on the iron door.

“That scared me,” Ling Mo quickly moved closer to take a look, then turned around and asked, “What kind of ability is this?”

“Loong-style Qigong…” Xiao Ming replied and then added an explanation, “Suction power…”

“Oh… That’s also a kind of instinctual response of the body. Just practice more, don’t try to force it, use it as an instinct.” Ling Mo had finally understood by now. It seemed that Yuwen Xuan wasn’t content with just paying such a high price for a mission, he actually took the opportunity to slip in a newbie, hoping to get some tips on using special abilities from Ling Mo.

A survivor acting on his own, in terms of combat experience and proficiency with special abilities, would always be stronger than those members who stayed inside the base.

Xiao Ming would learn here and then be able to teach others back at the base.

“No… It’s most likely Zhang Yu, that busybody, who’s behind this! Always finding an opportunity to meddle!” Ling Mo cursed under his breath.
