My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1253: The Timid Zombies

Two days later, Ling Mo and his group finally arrived at a town closest to the armory.

By this time, they had abandoned their vehicle long ago. Except for a few Zombies, all three humans, including Ling Mo, were somewhat exhausted.

Among them, Fang Zhou was the most frustrated…
They had been on the move almost non-stop, and when he finally mustered the courage to ask, the answer he got was “the sooner the better.” If they arrived a day earlier, they could prepare sooner. But now, looking at the dilapidated town before him, Fang Zhou was speechless. In such a rundown place, what could they possibly prepare for…

At a glance, this town was indeed much more backward than most cities and towns. Perhaps because it was nestled against a mountain, aside from two bare streets and a few buildings, most of the houses were built along the road up the mountain. Not only were the buildings low, but they also looked very old.

And in the urban area, apart from some old residential blocks, there were hardly any of these timeworn buildings left.

“We’ll stay here for a while,” Ling Mo said, standing at the edge of the town after looking around for a bit.

Naturally, Xia Na and the other Female Zombies had no objections. Yuwen Xuan also nodded and said, “That’s all we can do.”

As he spoke, he and Ling Mo both looked up at the mountain. Although the town was completely abandoned and filled with a thick sense of death, the mountain remained lush and green. Looking farther, they could even vaguely see snow on the summit.

This surprised Ling Mo and his group a bit…
Considering how much the climate had changed, it was really something that this mountain still looked normal from a distance.

But on second thought, maybe “normal” was the most abnormal thing of all? At this thought, Ling Mo suddenly felt a chill. But he quickly shook his head and pushed the idea aside. Worrying about these things was pointless-they would have to go in eventually.

On the way, he had already discussed the situation of the armory with Yuwen Xuan and the others…
He only knew the general location of the armory;
to actually find it, they’d have to search carefully. This couldn’t be blamed on inaccurate Intelligence-mountain forests were different from flatlands, and it was hard to find any specific markers.

Even this town was different from what Ling Mo had imagined. After all, just looking at a map, no one could know what a mountain town would really be like.

Beyond this mountain was a stretch of mountain ranges. Further on, according to the map, was another northwestern province.

Ling Mo no longer had much concept of administrative divisions like provinces. But thinking that beyond these mountains might be another Zombie “empire,” Ling Mo felt a chill down his spine.

He wondered how many places in the world, like X City, hadn’t been completely taken over by Zombies. If there weren’t many, it might mean humanity was truly finished.

When Ling Mo voiced this thought, Xia Na and the others fell silent for a while. Obviously, as Zombies, they didn’t know what to say about this. Maybe their level of evolution wasn’t high enough, so things like this didn’t affect them. Only Ye Lian lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought. But when Ling Mo asked her, she returned to her usual blank state.

This made Ling Mo sigh, and he couldn’t help but wonder: since the key to the Spider Queen’s evolution was him, could Ye Lian also have some kind of evolution key point? But as soon as he thought this, he quickly denied it in his heart. Before figuring things out, it was best not to make assumptions, especially when it came to Ye Lian.

Ye Lian had always behaved very properly, but in reality, she was always the fastest to evolve. This filled Ling Mo with doubt.

But these questions would probably have to wait until Ye Lian was fully awake to be answered.

It was Black Silk who, after pondering for a while, suddenly asked Ling Mo, “Doesn’t that mean humanity is already extinct?”

Ling Mo was stunned for a moment, then understood what it meant. He hadn’t expected this mutation creature to see things so clearly…
Although some people were still alive, they were no longer the humans they used to be. Cities representing human civilization had all been taken over by Zombies. Now, rather than living to survive, they were more like a new kind of humanity appearing in another form. Realizing this, Ling Mo felt complicated inside.

The days of sitting in front of a computer typing away were probably gone forever…

While he was lost in thought, Fang Zhou, who was scouting ahead, suddenly stopped and said in a strange tone, “Captain, don’t you feel there’s something off about this town?”

“What’s off?” Ling Mo snapped back to reality and asked instinctively.

But before Fang Zhou could answer, he sensed it too. Although they had just entered the town, something about it…
was definitely strange.

There were sounds, but not a single person in sight…

The sounds weren’t loud, but it was clear they came from nearby.

Fang Zhou and Yuwen Xuan were ready for a fight, but for some reason, the Creatures making the noise showed no intention of coming out…

While Ling Mo was still puzzled, Xia Na suddenly whispered from behind, “They’re hiding.”

“Hiding?” Ling Mo’s face immediately showed surprise. Xia Na’s words had two meanings: first, there really were “they” here, meaning Zombies;
second, for some reason, these Zombies didn’t dare come out…

Seeing Ling Mo still in a daze, Xia Na added, “It’s true. I can sense their anxious and uneasy aura. These guys have sensed us…
”

“Oh…
” So that’s it! Ling Mo suddenly understood. The Zombies following him were all Senior Zombies. Even if they didn’t deliberately release their aura, they still had a strong deterrent effect. Especially after their recent upgrades, this effect should be even more pronounced.

But just as he nodded, Ling Mo was startled again. No, something’s wrong!

Although Xia Na and the others were strong…
there was also a mutation creature and three humans in their group. Especially him…
wasn’t it said that the seed in his body would emit some kind of special scent? Even if it hadn’t been catalyzed yet…
just the scent he gave off should be enough to make these Zombies take the risk, right…

Ling Mo voiced his doubt quietly, and Xia Na bit her finger in silence for a while before tentatively saying, “Should we take the initiative? But these Zombies are hiding far away. They might slip away as soon as they sense us coming.”

“No need. Since they’re not attacking us, let’s just take it one step at a time,” Ling Mo said with a frown.

By now, he’d seen all kinds of Zombies, but encountering such strange behavior again still gave him a strong sense of discomfort. Who knew what these humanoid killing Creatures had evolved into? Just thinking about them hiding in the dark, watching with blood-red eyes, made Ling Mo’s skin crawl.

Even walking down this empty street, Ling Mo felt a strong sense of unease.

Fang Zhou and Yuwen Xuan, though not as aware of the situation, also sensed they were being watched by something unseen. Yet there wasn’t a single figure around. Coupled with the constant rustling sounds, the two of them clenched their fists.

Yuwen Xuan was better off, holding a pistol, while Fang Zhou, though leading the way, only had a dagger in his hand.

He now stood alone more than twenty meters ahead of Ling Mo’s group, holding his dagger nervously, even his lips twitching.

“Keep moving!”

As soon as Ling Mo made his decision, Fang Zhou felt like banging his head against a wall. He gritted his teeth and carefully moved forward.

Ling Mo’s spiritual body, Xiao Hei, quietly slipped into a house on the side of the street…
But as soon as it approached a spot where psychic activity was coming from, the Zombie there quickly retreated.

This made Ling Mo’s heart clench…
These Zombies really were problematic…
