My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1259: The Trained Assault Squad

“Squeak squeak squeak!”

In an instant, the sharp sounds suddenly merged all around. But if you listened closely, you’d realize these sounds actually came in sequence.

In this situation, if everyone present were human, casualties would be inevitable. But what are Xia Na and the others? Zombies! Although they were a beat slower than those Dark Shadows when they struck, even so, they still displayed astonishing calmness and extremely rapid reaction speed.

Such an almost cold-blooded display is rare among humans, but at this moment, all the zombies except Xu Shuhan showed almost the same expression.

A trace of blood flashed in their eyes, and their breathing slowed down at once. Immediately, their gaze shifted to the Dark Shadows that had suddenly lunged at them. The movement trajectory, which to humans seemed as fast as lightning, gradually slowed down in their eyes…

“Roar!”

With a burst of howling, the zombies collided with Ling Mo’s group.

Naturally, the first to make contact with the zombies was Ling Mo… In that situation just now, his attention could easily have been distracted by the others, but in reality, based on his trust in Xia Na and the others, Ling Mo’s gaze never shifted.

“Bang!”

At the very instant he could almost see the zombie’s claws, Ling Mo suddenly raised his hand and pushed forward. As he made this gesture, as if trying to push the zombie away with his palm, a psychic tentacle net simultaneously formed and covered the zombie’s head.

“Ah!”

The zombie’s movements froze. Then it let out a miserable scream. But even in the midst of the intense pain in its head, it still responded quickly. It stepped back, preparing to run.

“Dream on!” Ling Mo’s eyes turned cold, and the palm he had pushed out suddenly flipped downward, then made a lifting gesture. “Up!”

“Rustle!”

Another tentacle net shot out from under the zombie’s feet, instantly scooping it into midair. Before it could make any struggle, Ling Mo had already pointed a finger at it.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Almost in the blink of an eye, the zombie was shot full of holes inside the net. Even so, it continued to twitch and convulse.

As for Xia Na and the others… After the zombies attacked, they countered. With such a huge difference in evolution level, although these zombies were incredibly fast, they still had no power to resist. The battle ended almost at the same time Ling Mo finished off his zombie.

Xia Na and Li Yalin even took care of the zombies lunging at Xu Shuhan and Yuwen Xuan respectively… Although these two weren’t as strong as the zombies, their reactions weren’t slow either. Yuwen Xuan, upon glimpsing the zombie pouncing at him, immediately spat out a burst of Flame, propelling himself toward the Ceiling, while Xu Shuhan dodged at high speed, screaming all the while.

Only after this did Xia Na and Li Yalin step in.

All this happened in just one or two seconds, so when all the zombies fell, Yuwen Xuan still wore a shocked expression, and Xu Shuhan was gasping for breath.

Too fast!

Now they knew how these corpses came to be… With such speed and such efficient, tacit cooperation, their prey probably hadn’t even realized what was happening before being torn to pieces.

But before Ling Mo and the others could catch their breath, a faint rustling suddenly sounded around them.

“Now!” Ling Mo shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Na and the other zombies, having received the signal, charged ahead.

The group dashed forward without looking back, and just two seconds later, they had already crossed the corpse-strewn floor, and a pitch-black staircase appeared before them.

Only after rushing up did they realize the darkness wasn’t due to lack of light, but because the blood was so thick.

“Squeak squeak!”

The sound of zombies moving chased Ling Mo and the others relentlessly, but for some reason, after they climbed the stairs, the sound disappeared.

“Why aren’t they chasing us?” Yuwen Xuan stopped, supporting his knees and panting as he asked.

Ling Mo looked up at the top of the stairs and said, “Because they’re afraid of what’s up there.”

Yuwen Xuan followed his gaze, and when he saw the bloodstains covering the stairway, his scalp tingled. This blood… it seemed to have all flowed down from the third floor…

“The attacks from the second-floor zombies seem to follow a pattern,” Ling Mo looked down again and said, “Their attacks come in waves. Fang Zhou was hit in the first wave. If that succeeded, then attacking me at that moment would have been most effective. But after each wave, they adjust their positions, so if we want to run, we have to seize this opportunity.”

“This sounds…” Xu Shuhan said in surprise, “kind of fixed, doesn’t it?”

“That’s exactly it. Think about it, although their coordination is excellent, their evolution level isn’t high, and their combat power isn’t strong enough. What really makes them threatening is their unpredictable attacks and speed. If I’m not mistaken, these guys are specifically trained to deal with humans,” Xia Na added. Her words sounded a bit strange, but in this situation, as the only normal human, Yuwen Xuan didn’t notice.

“You mean… they’ve been trained?” Yuwen Xuan asked, unable to hide his incredulous expression. If that’s true, what else could be up there… But he also knew in his heart that Xia Na’s guess was probably right. If they hadn’t been deliberately trained, why would they restrict their activity to the second floor?

Thinking about it, what kind of Monster could have trained them? Just imagining it sent chills down his spine.

Ling Mo neither confirmed nor denied it. He looked up at the stairway again and said, “Up here is where we really need to be vigilant. But this time, it’s not just because of the zombies.”

There were so many zombies on the second floor, Fang Zhou could only make small moves… But the situation on the third floor was unclear, maybe he could do a lot more…

The others hadn’t forgotten this either, and Yuwen Xuan especially gritted his teeth: “If he hadn’t pulled that trick before running, maybe we wouldn’t have been caught off guard just now. That guy’s such an actor-if I catch him, I’m going to rip off his face and see if it’s the original!”

“You can rip it off, but I think Ling Mo has his own reasons. Don’t forget, our real target is still Chief of Staff Wang of Falcon,” Xu Shuhan reminded.

Yuwen Xuan chuckled and said no more.

“Alright, let’s go,” Ling Mo said in a deep voice.

Everyone once again looked toward the stairway in unison. Xia Na and the others were fine, but Yuwen Xuan and Xu Shuhan immediately felt a chill. Next, led by Black Silk, they slowly approached the bloody entrance.

The third floor’s layout was clearly completely different from the second. After entering a Corridor through the stairway, both sides were lined with rooms, some open, some closed. A wheelchair sat alone in the Corridor, also covered in old bloodstains.

Seeing this, Ling Mo suddenly felt a strange sensation. Those zombies they just fought… could they have all been Old Men and old ladies before mutating?

But thinking about their agile, vigorous movements, Ling Mo quickly shook his head. He couldn’t dwell on it any longer-it was too bizarre…

Just then, in the previously silent Corridor, a faint “creak” suddenly sounded.

Ling Mo instantly tensed up, his expression serious as he looked to both sides. At the same time, his psychic tentacle immediately unfurled, beginning to Sensing the area.

“Ling Mo…”

A hand suddenly tugged at his sleeve, and Xu Shuhan’s timid voice came from beside him: “Ling Mo, look… look over there… the wheelchair… it’s moving!”

What wheelchair is moving?

Ling Mo immediately turned to look… Sure enough, in the dim light, the wheelchair was laboriously turning its wheels… And just as all eyes were fixed on it, it suddenly let out a harsh “click” and then charged straight at Ling Mo and the others!
