My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 578 – You Still Have Much to Learn

Being kicked was secondary; what truly mattered was the ability to uncover talent, a skill they all desperately wished to possess!

In fact, ever since they found out that the “trash” Ling Mo had picked turned out to be experts, they had entertained the idea of uncovering their own gold nuggets. They had even conducted private research on each member’s special abilities, hoping to discover more hidden gems.

But as people who hadn’t even fully understood their own abilities, their attempts to choose wisely ended in failure.

That’s why their frustration only grew, and they redirected the anger from their defeats onto Ling Mo.

It’s the comparisons that breed discontent!

While no one voiced it out loud, everyone knew that this outcome only served to highlight their inferiority to Ling Mo.

But Ling Mo’s assertive demeanor had suddenly jolted them awake.

His previous calmness was just an illusion!

This man was so arrogant, even more of a troublemaker than Ye Kai!

Ling Mo’s attitude was bold and clear.

That was, he generally didn’t get involved in Team F’s affairs, but when it came to things he wanted to do, Team F had no say.

…

Such frustration!

But if they looked at it from another angle, as long as Ling Mo didn’t take these people away, they would still be members of Team F…

And speaking of Lucy… Ling Mo’s public acknowledgment of their relationship had actually solidified her position even more.

This meant that Lucy had the support of Ling Mo, the backing of Falcon Second Camp, which was something they couldn’t afford to provoke.

Thinking of it this way, didn’t Team F essentially belong to Ling Mo?

The crowd was frustrated again, but they consoled themselves: after all, Ling Mo didn’t interfere much, and Lucy was soft-hearted. Their days might not be too difficult; this might even turn out to be a good thing…

“So… is that it?” Ling Mo once again sought their opinion.

Everyone shook their heads, and the meeting ended in this strange atmosphere.

The man who had been kicked earlier had at some point gotten up stealthily; after casting a resentful and complicated glance at Ling Mo, he nodded gratefully at Lucy and then vanished into the crowd without looking back.

Without Lucy’s intervention, Ling Mo might have kicked him a couple more times.

Lucy, for her part, hadn’t noticed him. Otherwise, given her disposition, she might have even offered him a few comforting words.

In a blink of an eye, only Ling Mo and Lucy were left in the large conference room.

Lucy had been petrified since the beginning, and now that there was no one else around, she suddenly came back to her senses, staring at Ling Mo with an extremely complex gaze.

“…”

“…”

The two of them silently looked at each other for a long time, and then Ling Mo suddenly wiped his face: “Is there something on my face?”

“Hey!” Lucy instantly got angry.

Ling Mo scratched his head with a smile, then suddenly walked towards Lucy. To her astonishment, he leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “I haven’t forgotten the incident when you overpowered me.”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Lucy’s hand, slipping a small object into her palm before she could react.

“What do you mean, ‘overpowered’!” Lucy exclaimed in confusion and denial.

Seeing Ling Mo turn to leave, Lucy was about to call out to him when she noticed the object he had placed in her hand—it was that small cross.

“Huh?” Lucy held the cross up to her eyes and then showed a look of contemplation.

As she thought about it, her face suddenly flushed red.

Right, it must have been that time… Does this mean everything was exposed?

Lucy felt her heart nearly leap out of her chest. She clutched the cross tightly, then made another discovery.

“It’s actually… warm?” The residual warmth on the cross caused Lucy’s expression to change again, “This man…”

She gently gripped the cross tighter, a slight smile appearing on her lips…

…

“Why did you have to help her out?” Ling Mo had just walked out of the office and hadn’t gone far when he ran into Shana and the others at the corner of the staircase.

It was Shana who asked the question, and Li Ya Lin and Ye Lian were also curiously looking at him.

As for Yu Shiran, she was busy taking care of Xiao Bai and Black Silk and naturally wouldn’t be here.

“Uh… aren’t you with the Miracle Team?” Ling Mo asked.

“They are in the middle of sparring.” What Shana referred to was a new training method designed by Mu Chen, where four people would take turns forming pairs and then spar with each other to deepen their understanding of their special abilities quickly. This was quite important for teamwork.

“Don’t change the subject.” Li Ya Lin chimed in.

“Mmm… mmm!” Ye Lian added with a simple interjection.

Ling Mo felt somewhat helpless—they had been around people for too long and had even learned to interrogate…

“Well…” Ling Mo actually had his own selfish reasons, especially after he had just teased Lucy. Seeing her reaction, he understood.

“Is it because she can help you control Team F?” Shana asked again.

“Uh… at first, yes.” Ling Mo admitted honestly.

When Team F’s management was first established, he naturally wanted to promote his own people. Even though he hadn’t directly done anything, his presence here was enough to influence some matters.

“So it’s not the case now?” Li Ya Lin asked sharply.

“Mmm.” Ling Mo decided to be honest, “She has done quite a lot for me; at the very least, I will protect her and help her solidify her position.”

“That’s good then.” Shana suddenly smiled, leaving Ling Mo puzzled.

“Some humans suddenly get obsessed with power, struggle, and all sorts of messy things, and then they change,” Shana said as she stepped forward and seriously patted Ling Mo’s shoulder, “Ling Mo, you haven’t changed, which is good. If someone is good to you, you’re good to them—that’s who you are.”

“It sounds like you’re praising me…” Ling Mo said.

“I am praising you…”

“But doesn’t it tire you to tip-toe and pat my shoulder?” Ling Mo said instinctively.

The next second he was clutching his foot and howling in pain, while Shana had an angry look on her face: “How dare you mock my height! Ye Lian, senior, let’s go!”

“No… I didn’t mean…” Ling Mo cursed silently to himself, “Damn! This is really a slip of the tongue!”

As expected, the senior sister turned around and followed Shana, while Ye Lian hesitated and gave Ling Mo a glance.

“Little girl…” Ling Mo’s heart instantly warmed.

Ye Lian sneaked a peek to the left and right, then slowly moved closer.

“When did I ever mock, right? Only the little girl understands me…” Ling Mo was deeply moved…

“That…” Ye Lian stared blankly and dumbly at Ling Mo for a moment, then suddenly lifted her foot and stepped down on Ling Mo’s other foot.

After stepping down, the zombie loli still stared blankly at Ling Mo…

Ling Mo howled again, this time clutching his other foot, and since he dared not put weight on the one he had just been clutching, he was in a sorry state.

“Why…” Ling Mo asked with difficulty.

Ye Lian answered seriously, “I heard… that’s what human girls do, they call it sisterhood.”

“…Did Shana tell you that? That kid is only seventeen or eighteen, why does she know so much!” Ling Mo freaked out.

“No…” Ye Lian shook her head, “…Xu Shuhan told me.”

“Microphone?” Ling Mo was startled for a moment, then realized. Ye Lian must have been talking about Xu Shuhan.

His heart suddenly sank, oh no, he had forgotten about this aspect.

Although they had been dragged here by Ling Mo to work, which on one hand could monitor their actions and on the other hand keep them restricted by his side, it also exposed his greatest vulnerability to them.

Although the zombie loli who betrayed her teammates wasn’t here, Li Ya Lin and Ye Lian were both naive zombies!

However, thinking about it, he had already instructed them not to mention anything related to him, so there should have been no leaks…

But the fact that the other party was looking for a breakthrough with them indicated that they were beginning to be impatient…

“It’s just right, I should really make contact with them.” Ling Mo suddenly muttered to himself.

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed a figure flickering in front of him, and then his recently relieved foot was hit again.

“Ow! Senior sister!”

“Hehe, sorry, I just forgot.” Li Ya Lin laughed.

“Sorry is not meant for this kind of situation; the timing, place, and event are all wrong!” Ling Mo howled in pain and protested.

“Is that so?” The senior sister seemed confused.

“Go back and look up the dictionary!” Ling Mo was furious, to apologize for stepping on someone as if she had just forgotten to step was utterly ludicrous!
