My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 551 – The Spider’s Web

“Are you saying… that while you were enjoying the breeze… this monster just happened to pass by your window, and then, you casually finished it off?”

Lucy looked down at the zombie corpse at her feet, asking.

“That’s right.” Ling Mo nodded.

He was comfortably seated on a sofa chair at the moment, cradling a cup of hot tea in his hands.

Given his casual demeanor, he clearly didn’t consider himself a guest.

Inside the room stood over a dozen members of Team F, yet no one expressed any dissatisfaction with Ling Mo’s attitude.

As someone who had saved their entire group’s lives, it wouldn’t have mattered if Ling Mo was merely sipping tea or even snoring away on the floor—it was deemed appropriate.

Among the crowd, a few women kept casting interested glances at Ling Mo.

If it weren’t for the fact that the girls around Ling Mo were exceptionally outstanding, these women might have already tried to cozy up to him.

The others, although envious, harbored no feelings of comparison.

After all, who could blame them? He was young and powerful!

He might not have been the most handsome, but those eyes of his added quite a few points in his favor!

Sitting there, he might not have been incredibly captivating, but he certainly gave off a comfortable vibe…

However, Lucy’s next words swiftly drew everyone’s attention—

“But…” Lucy’s expression suddenly twisted in conflict as she glanced at Ling Mo and said, “the windows in your room… they’re floor-to-ceiling and completely sealed.”

“Damn!!”

“Pfft! Did I hear that right?”

“That’s just too…”

“That lie was so insincere!”

“But he still looks so calm…”

“He’s faking it, right? Don’t look at him, don’t look…”

The onlooking members of Team F turned their heads away, finding it unbearable to witness Ling Mo’s current expression.

Such an awkward moment was better left unseen for the sake of their own personal safety…

“So you really thought you could fool me with such a pathetic lie? How stupid do you think I am!” Lucy exclaimed angrily.

This man was truly infuriating…

Especially now, as he was caught red-handed, he still appeared listless and uninterested in arguing back, which only made Lucy’s anger boil over.

Admitting defeat?

He probably just didn’t want to say anything!

However, based on her understanding of Ling Mo, there was no use in asking about things he didn’t want to discuss.

But if he wasn’t going to talk about that, then what was he here for?

Freeloading? It seemed likely!

His mouth hadn’t stopped moving since he entered, and when Lucy was about to enjoy her freshly brewed tea, he took it from her with the utmost naturalness, even shamelessly leaving behind a “thank you.”

Thank you my foot!

If it weren’t for the corpse catching her attention, Lucy would have kicked him already.

Even though Ling Mo appeared to be nonchalant, this corpse was no laughing matter.

At first, everyone thought it was the body of a mutated zombie, but it was common knowledge that if it were such a commonplace creature, there was no way Ling Mo would have brought it back so solemnly.

So, everyone patiently awaited and performed a thorough examination of the corpse.

Upon examination, everyone was taken aback.

Mutated zombies were not uncommon, and ordinary zombies were a dime a dozen, but whether it was one or the other, none had ever grown a retractable tail or a highly concealed, all-direction rotating watchtower!

This kind of creature was a first for everyone!

Meanwhile, Lucy thought to herself that she had never met anyone like Ling Mo, who could drag a corpse to her door first thing in the morning and calmly say, “I’ve brought you a little surprise.”

Surprise? Sure, there was surprise, but where was the joy in that?

“Anyway…”

Ling Mo took a sip of tea and leaned back comfortably, saying, “The appearance of such a creature means that the real zombies are starting to take shape. It’s a hybrid of mutated zombies and ordinary zombies, possessing both the intelligence and appearance of ordinary zombies, as well as the special body mutated abilities of mutated zombies.”

“It’s foreseeable that soon, the ordinary zombies on the streets will no longer be ordinary.”

Ling Mo’s words immediately caused a stir among those present. Those who were in this room at this time were either long-standing members of Team F or those with strong abilities within the group, in other words, individuals with a certain level of influence.

This also meant that they had fought more often than other psychics, had seen more types of creatures, and had a deeper understanding of the zombie species.

The implications of Ling Mo’s words were nothing short of terrifying!

However, there was still someone who was a step behind in reacting and asked, “How… unordinary?”

“Heh…” Ling Mo chuckled, but his laughter didn’t contain a hint of happiness; instead, it seemed rather chilling, “It means that when you deal with those familiar zombies in the usual way, they might just be able to whip out their own spine and go all out against you.”

“That kind of ability can’t really exist, right? Wouldn’t pulling out their own spine turn them into a soft mess? Like their head instantly dropping to their pelvis, becoming a half-bodied person or something…” murmurs rose from the crowd.

“Maybe it really is possible, like growing a spare spine…”

“Do spines come with spares? It’s not like a spare tire…”

“Eh? Who’s calling me?”

Listening to the noisy chatter, Ling Mo sighed and rubbed his temples.

Indeed, compared to Falcon and the Air Force Corps, these people seemed to have much less discipline.

It was true that each psychic came from different backgrounds, with no one to lead or train them…

“Alright…” Ling Mo sighed and asked, “What’s your plan?”

The noise quickly subsided, and within a few seconds, the room was silent.

All eyes were on Ling Mo and Lucy. Although the former was not a member of Team F, no one there dared say they were stronger than him.

After the Jian Qi incident, the latter had established some prestige within Team F.

“You tell us,” Ling Mo quickly passed the ball to Lucy.

“Me?” Lucy was initially taken aback, then looked at the Team F members in the room.

Seeing that everyone’s attention was focused on her, Lucy appeared calm on the surface, but inside, she was somewhat nervous.

“I… Since that’s the case, I’ll just share my thoughts,” Lucy bit her lip and said, “The current situation seems manageable, but from what Ling Mo is saying, it won’t be easy for much longer. So, it’s time we discuss our future direction.”

“The first thing we need to do is to establish our purpose and leadership. With clear goals and a leader, we can go much farther…”

Lucy started off a bit nervous, but the more she spoke, the smoother she became.

She looked involuntarily towards where Ling Mo was sitting but found that he had already left…

Gazing at the door that was still slightly swaying, Lucy continued to speak, but her eyes revealed a hint of disappointment…

…

“Why not stay and listen to the end? It was quite interesting.”

Just as Ling Mo stepped out of the room, Xia Na came up with a smile and asked.

“I’m not very interested in that stuff,” Ling Mo replied simply.

“Is it a lack of interest, or do you feel like an outsider and that makes you unhappy?” Xia Na pressed on.

Ling Mo stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Xia Na.

The black-haired girl was leaning forward with a smile on her lips, looking at him.

Ling Mo raised his hand as if to flick her forehead but relaxed his fingers at the last moment and gently stroked Xia Na’s nose instead: “You’re pretty sharp with your words.”

“Hehe! Don’t be mad, okay? Although you can’t join humanity, it’s pretty fun to be with us, right?” Xia Na hooked her arm through Ling Mo’s, saying.

“Shh, there are a lot of psychics around here! What if someone overhears?” Ling Mo exclaimed anxiously, looking around nervously.

“Oops.” Xia Na ducked her head, chuckling, “Then we’ll just have to silence them… No hitting, I’m just kidding. But seriously, why are you contacting Yuwen Xuan and helping them analyze the situation? What’s the reason?”

“Well… On one hand, of course, it’s because I’m human too. On the other hand, although Team F is still weak, every psychic is a long-term potential stock…” Ling Mo said thoughtfully.

Xia Na quickly caught on: “I get it, it’s like with Falcon, it’s an investment, right? You seem to do nothing, but you’ve woven a web among them. Your every move ultimately affects them.”

“While that’s a weird description, you’re not wrong. No matter what happens, connections and resources are very important,” Ling Mo nodded.

“Then… never mind, I won’t ask you that…”

“Hey, what is it?”

“Hehe, I won’t tell you. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to seeing how things develop…”
