My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 584: Inside the Digestive System

Lucy’s departure looked more like a flight…

As Ling Mo watched her hastily retreating figure disappear around the corner, he stood still, inadvertently glancing down at his own hands.

The warmth and softness seemed to linger in his palms…

“Am I responsible for her?” Ling Mo couldn’t help but mutter to himself, before a wry smile broke on his face.

This girl…

…

The next morning, by the side of the provincial TV station, a rusty iron door creaked open slowly.

A head peeked out first, scanning left and right before cautiously stepping out.

“Come on out,” Shana commanded without turning her head, eyes fixed on the alleyway in the distance.

Several silhouettes emerged one after the other through the crack of the door, each carrying large bundles and armed with a variety of weapons.

“Why does this feel like we’re thieves?” Mu Chen grumbled as he was forced to carry a large bag for Ling Mo, most of which was pilfered from his own stash… He was full of discontent and, seeing Ling Mo’s extra cautiousness, immediately opened his mouth to mock.

“You know nothing…” Ling Mo glanced at him and snorted.

The side door was located in an alley, with the TV station on one side and a tall wall on the other, the alley itself only two to three meters wide.

The alley was cluttered with all sorts of bicycles and electric scooters, which had long turned into piles of scrap under the weathering of wind and sun.

Old bloodstains could still be seen on the walls, but there was no sign of any zombies.

The place was too desolate, even the zombies seemed to disdain it…

Despite the onset of spring and the rapid rise in temperature, standing there still felt eerily cold.

Gusts of cold wind blew through the alley, making Xu Shuhan instinctively tighten her collar.

She cast a curious glance at the three girls standing beside Ling Mo. They looked frail and were thinly dressed, yet they didn’t seem to mind the cold at all. Despite the heavy loads on their backs, they appeared quite at ease…

However, what piqued her curiosity even more was Ling Mo. Where had he found these strong girls, and what had he done to keep them by his side?

Xu Shuhan was looking forward to this collaboration. More than the mission, she actually preferred to uncover things she didn’t know.

An occupational disease, she thought…

“Let’s go this way,” Ling Mo suggested, pointing towards the other end of the alley. He was determined to avoid the main gate and sneak away.

Mu Chen finally had an epiphany: “Oh… I get it. Dodging love debts, huh…”

He deliberately elongated the last word, his tone particularly irritating.

“Dodging nothing. I just don’t want to play the parting game…” Ling Mo shot him a glance and shook his head.

“True…” Mu Chen pondered and agreed.

At this moment, parting was akin to leaving last words; neither party knew if they would live to see each other again.

Neither Ling Mo nor Mu Chen liked such scenes.

But then, Mu Chen thought, Ling Mo still had that chance. What about him, Mu Chen?

With that thought, a sudden sadness flickered in Mu Chen’s eyes.

Niepan Branch was newly established when Mu Chen joined, but despite being so busy until now, there wasn’t even one person who would worry about whether he was dead or alive…

What was all this fighting for? Was it just to survive?

Despite not wanting to admit it, Mu Chen suddenly felt envious of Ling Mo…

He had friends, brothers, and a backup plan… Most importantly, he had lovers, and not just one, but three!

The envy and jealousy were driving Mu Chen insane!

Gritting his teeth, Mu Chen then howled inwardly, “This is so freaking unfair! Aaaah…”

Xia Zhi looked at Mu Chen with a puzzled expression, unable to help it; his face was an open book of emotions that was impossible to ignore.

“What are you looking at me for! Your stare is making me even more melancholic!” Mu Chen glared at Xia Zhi, continuing his tirade, “Even the companions by my side are coveting what I have. Could my luck get any worse!”

…

Ling Mo was oblivious to Mu Chen’s self-pity trailing behind him; he was busy searching for the whereabouts of Yu Shiran and the others through his psychic connection.

Speaking of that zombie loli, she had really drawn the short straw. Ever since Xiao Bai came along, she had turned into a caretaker, spending her days with that Mutated panda.

That Mutated panda was strangely… too normal. Its evolutionary path was nothing like Black Silk’s bizarre one.

Black Silk had become smaller and smaller, to the point where its presence was almost non-existent. In contrast, Xiao Bai got fatter and its fur fluffier than before, although the color had improved a lot from the bright red before, making it more suitable for city roaming. It was like some animals’ protective coloring, just not as convenient as a chameleon.

Ling Mo was actually quite pleased with Xiao Bai’s size. Although he couldn’t carry it around when with others, it was useful for clearing paths upfront.

In fact, Ling Mo had placed some important, but not always needed, luggage on Xiao Bai.

People who could snatch things from a leader level zombie and two advanced mutated beasts were hard to come by…

After sensing for a while, Ling Mo finally located them over two thousand meters away.

This distance was quite far, but Ling Mo was not surprised at all.

The zombie loli always thought about escaping; given the chance, the distance between them would quickly max out, something Ling Mo had gotten used to…

When Ling Mo found her, the zombie loli was hunting with Xiao Bai.

At first, Ling Mo didn’t pay much attention, but when he switched his view to Black Silk, he suddenly gasped in shock.

“What is this?!”

The moment he switched his view, Ling Mo first saw a dim corridor full of spiders, but after the angle shook twice—when Yu Shiran pushed up her chest—he realized that these things were not spiders at all, but… semi-solidified mucus.

The mucus dangled from the ceiling, looking like spiders at first glance, but with a faint hint of blood color.

The ground was also covered with a layer of mucus, and there were many skeletons around, giving Ling Mo the feeling as if he had suddenly stepped into the stomach of some animal.

Yes, it was very much like a digestive system…

“Damn, what have you all been doing these days…”

Ling Mo had been busy lately, so except for occasionally checking in on Xiao Bai and the others, he hadn’t really paid much attention to their movements.

What’s more, at night he was always disturbed by abnormalities in his body, which didn’t allow him to be distracted.

And he thought that when these three got together, at most they would just look for trouble with zombies, but the scene before him…

“I never expected such an awkward problem…”

Using Black Silk’s perspective, Ling Mo looked around and then conveyed a question mark to Black Silk.

Black Silk could understand this simple question, but Ling Mo couldn’t understand the information she sent back at all…

“Hehehe…”

“…Alright, I’ll just look for myself.”

While sensing their exact location, Ling Mo followed Black Silk’s perspective as they continued to move forward.

Although the sticky place looked eerie, there was no danger on the road, and Ling Mo could see the walls on both sides quickly receding, which clearly indicated that the zombie loli was sprinting.

“What’s… going on?” Ye Lian tilted her head to glance at Ling Mo and asked softly.

“A bit of a situation…” Ling Mo was constantly sending messages to Black Silk, asking them to come back, but Black Silk replied with something that roughly meant “ok,” while indulging the zombie loli to keep running forward.

This made Ling Mo feel awkward, as smart as Black Silk was, she was still a Mutated Beast after all.

If he could establish direct mental contact with Yu Shiran, he could pass the message directly to her, which would be easier to understand.

But Yu Shiran is currently a symbiote with Black Silk, and she herself is very resistant to Ling Mo’s control, so he didn’t plan to waste the effort to forcefully take her down for now.

Forced control always causes some damage, and who knows if it might harm Black Silk as well?

It would be better to wait and influence her subtly, eroding her Mental Sphere little by little through Black Silk…

However, none of this was of any use at the moment. What Ling Mo wanted most now was to immediately insert his mental Tentacles into Yu Shiran’s brain and forcefully make them stop!
