My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 984: A Special Tracking Method

Despite being mentally prepared, Xu Shuhan was still startled, almost letting out a scream. She finally understood the meaning behind Ling Mo’s gesture. It was both a reminder and a way to expose her greatest weakness…

But there was no time to think about it. Within a second, Ling Mo had already pulled her into a thicker cloud of black fog. With a muffled “thud,” Xu Shuhan immediately felt something underfoot. Ling Mo then pulled her aside, and they both looked down.

While Ling Mo only “looked” in that direction, Xu Shuhan actually saw the thing.

A head covered in silt and a half-bloody corpse…

At the same time, Ling Mo covered his nose and mouth and signaled to Xu Shuhan.

Still in shock, Xu Shuhan quickly mimicked Ling Mo’s actions and held her breath. They crouched down, pressing their backs tightly against the wall.

Only then did Xu Shuhan realize that Ling Mo had snatched the corpse… As for whose hands he had taken it from, there was no need to guess.

Clearly, Ling Mo was worried that acting rashly might cause some unforeseen consequences, so he had targeted the corpse. Regardless of the method he used, it involved a burst of psychic energy. Locking onto a corpse with psychic power was a daunting task… Was he using sound to locate it, then feeling his way bit by bit?

Xu Shuhan didn’t know that Ling Mo’s psychic tentacles could be both intangible and tangible. Just thinking about the dangers involved made her feel a chill.

Ling Mo, meanwhile, focused intently on the direction of the corpse, seemingly waiting for something.

“He’s trying to lure that monster over!” Xu Shuhan’s heart skipped a beat.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the time for questions. From Ling Mo’s series of quick actions, it was clear that the monster was rapidly approaching the corpse. The time they had might be only a few seconds, or even less…

“This is too bold…” Xu Shuhan’s eyes widened, her heart pounding.

Ling Mo could only sense the monster with his psychic power, while she was the only one who could actually see it…

At that moment, she felt Ling Mo’s grip tighten.

It’s here!

A soft “swish” sounded, so close it seemed to be right next to them.

If Ling Mo hadn’t given her a heads-up, Xu Shuhan felt she might have screamed in fright.

Her timidity was magnified…

Less than a tenth of a second after the sound, Xu Shuhan felt the black fog in front of her stir. A shadow appeared before her eyes…

“Swish!”

Another sound. After it, the corpse and head were gone.

Xu Shuhan noticed the corpse seemed significantly heavier, and Ling Mo immediately pulled her to her feet. Though she didn’t know what was happening to Ling Mo, she felt a pull from him. Previously, she had been leading Ling Mo, but now he was guiding her.

Despite the dense black fog, his steps were confident, without any hesitation or need to confirm the direction.

“It’s not just about snatching the corpse…” Xu Shuhan thought, suddenly understanding.

Ling Mo’s move was a test. The act of snatching the corpse was quick and likely used minimal energy. This might also be due to the interference from the black fog… Once the corpse was dragged over, he immediately used a significant amount of psychic power to lock onto it, then let the monster retrieve the corpse.

His real goal was to have the monster lead them, dragging them along…

The earlier act of snatching the corpse was to confirm the monster’s reaction and ensure he hadn’t made a mistake.

This was insane!

To make such a chilling decision in an instant, what kind of brain did this guy have?

But thinking about it, Xu Shuhan felt Ling Mo’s guess was quite reasonable… Yuwen Xuan was crazy enough. If he wasn’t dead, he might do something even more terrifying than Ling Mo…

At first, she hadn’t believed Yuwen Xuan would come to such a place…

The two of them moved closely together in the black fog, following the monster ahead.

Xu Shuhan felt the changes around her while recalling the shadow she had seen.

She had only seen a vague outline… but even that fleeting moment left a deep impression. She wanted to say something to Ling Mo, but the thought of the monster leading them made her fearfully close her mouth.

The monster was fast, but burdened by their weight, it had to slow down considerably. This proved Ling Mo’s earlier assumption that the monster had no intelligence and acted purely on instinct. The corpse being snatched and then mysteriously gaining weight didn’t register with it. The only thing that could draw its attention was the presence of other living beings.

Xu Shuhan vaguely guessed one of Ling Mo’s reasons for following this way… If he couldn’t hold his breath any longer, he could at least use the corpse to buy some time. In this sense, Ling Mo’s decision, though crazy, was well thought out.

She couldn’t help but think about where Ling Mo had developed this habit… Anyone who mingled with so many zombies among humans would become cautious and meticulous. But because this behavior was inherently risky, such a person would also have a strong adventurous spirit…

“Why do I keep analyzing him…” Xu Shuhan suddenly felt a bit frustrated.

Maybe it was because they rarely had time alone… or maybe it was because she was also one of those zombies. But unlike Ye Lian and the others, she had no “companions.” Among those she considered her kind, only Ling Mo truly knew her identity… Maybe Mu Chen also knew, but both she and Mu Chen had tacitly chosen to keep their distance in this situation.

That was the difference between zombies and humans.

But in Ling Mo’s mind, it seemed there was no such boundary.

“Maybe there is… After all, common zombies are just killing machines.” Xu Shuhan thought.

She didn’t know if she was right, but as she thought, a decision in her heart slowly solidified…

Ling Mo, of course, had no idea that the female zombie beside him was deep in thought, as his own mind was also busy…

The monster dragged them quickly into the depths of the darkness, while his Zombie Puppet was gradually approaching the pool.

During the descent, Ling Mo felt several times that something was watching him, but he never found anything.

Perhaps because he had been overly cautious earlier, the feeling of being watched persisted, but nothing approached him.

This made Ling Mo secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Whatever was watching him, the most important thing was to quickly investigate the situation at the bottom of the pool.

…

Meanwhile, on the surface.

At the corner of a street, a man in a gray-green Windbreaker was looking around.

After observing for a while, he slipped into a shop.

Shortly after his figure disappeared, another shadow appeared.

This figure descended from the air. Her eyes were red as she stared intently at the spot where the man had entered, then slowly landed on the ground.

“Should I go over…” Yu Shiran muttered.

But just then, another person emerged from the shop.

This person also looked around, but as soon as he appeared, Yu Shiran had already hidden, watching him through a gap.

Clearly, the person hadn’t noticed Yu Shiran.

After observing for a while, he suddenly turned his head and looked up at a tall building.

“Strange…”

Yu Shiran was muttering when she noticed his action. She followed his gaze and was momentarily stunned.

“That place seems to be…”

However, when she quickly turned back to the shop entrance, the man was already gone!
