My Girlfriend is a Zombie

These shadows appeared and immediately surrounded Ling Mo and his group.

The shrill, ear-piercing screams and those pairs of eyes glimmering with fierce red eyes instantly made the atmosphere much more oppressive.

Cold sweat was already pouring down Jason’s face, and Xu Shuhan was trembling with nervousness…

Ling Mo’s brows furrowed slightly; from the reactions of these Monsters, it was clear that they did not fear dominant-level Zombies like Ye Lian…

But why is this? It doesn’t make sense…

At this moment, one of the figures had silently reached the edge of the rooftop and was staring down at the humans and Zombies below. As it scanned the area, Ling Mo’s gaze happened to meet its eyes. The instant their eyes met, Ling Mo’s scalp tingled involuntarily, and a chill shot up from his feet to his head.

“It noticed me…”

Just as this thought popped into Ling Mo’s mind, the figure suddenly extended its neck and opened its mouth to emit an eerie howl towards Ling Mo.

Its voice was closer to that of an infant, yet even more chilling. As its cry echoed, all the figures suddenly moved. They slowly closed the distance between themselves and Ling Mo’s group, yet weren’t in a hurry to pounce, continuously letting out waves of “crying”…

From the figures’ eyes, Ling Mo detected a hint of mockery, like a cat playing with a Rat. This left Ling Mo at a loss for words; they were actually being underestimated by an “infant” level Zombie…

At the same moment, Ling Mo also clearly saw the appearance of that figure. In terms of size, it looked like an adult wild cat, with excessively pale skin through which the purplish-blue blood vessels could be clearly seen. Additionally, its wrists and soles showed some variation, developing sucker-like organs, which released an elastic force when it moved, making it seem as if it were leaping.

However, the most striking feature was its unusually large head… This big head had no hair, not even eyebrows or eyelashes. The blood-red eyes were deeply sunken, the nose only had two constantly contracting nostrils, and the mouth, devoid of lips, revealed incredibly sharp teeth every time it opened…

“No wonder they grew up drinking fuel, at least they perfectly inherited the big head… Given their nose, their sense of smell should be strong? But their appearance has totally strayed from human aesthetics. They can only be called humanoid…”

Ling Mo was analyzing in his mind when Jason’s somewhat trembling voice came from beside him: “This is a disaster. Usually, these Infant Zombies don’t appear often, and even if they do, there’s at most only one or two… But how come so many have appeared this time?”

“You’ve encountered them before?” Ling Mo asked.

“Once. Someone died…” Jason swallowed, as if recalling some unpleasant memory, and his face grew darker. He continued, “When you encounter these little monsters, you have to smash their heads in one go, or it’s useless…”

“Mm…” Ling Mo pondered earnestly. He had already noticed that these Infant Zombies possessed a certain level of Intelligence, and the reason so many of them appeared this time could very well be due to the presence of Ye Lian and the others… This indicates that they are not unaware of the danger here; it’s just that this instinctual threat isn’t enough to make them retreat.

Now that’s a natural killing machine! Moreover, from a lineage perspective, they can also be called second-generation zombies…

It’s just unclear whether the growth rate of these Infant Zombies differs from humans and when they will truly unleash their power. Once this batch of zombies matures, they might become even more vicious than the existing zombies. It’s highly possible that, under the zombie evolution laws, the existing zombies are merely evolutionary fodder for the new generation of zombies…

Also, these indigenous zombies definitely won’t possess the potential to awaken human emotions… From the moment they are born, they have completely shed their human identity.

Ling Mo had a vague guess in his mind. Perhaps, for the zombie community, this was a form of collective evolution… His Senior Sister often thought about having children, which was actually the zombies’ Reproduction instinct at work. If the female zombies around Ling Mo were already like this, it was even more so for the Wild Zombies…

“I’ve been focusing on the competition among Survivors for resources lately and didn’t pay enough attention to the competition among zombies… Now, it seems that whether it’s the mutation abilities of Senior Zombies or the emergent variation zombies and these Infant Zombies, they are all products of virus evolution… I don’t know how far this virus intends to evolve, but as long as its characteristic of devour evolution doesn’t change, Ye Lian and the others will never be safe…”

“The slower their evolution, the faster danger approaches, just like these Infant Zombies who not only want to hunt Jason and me but also seek to hunt their own kind… However, the standards for zombies looking for a Mate are quite stringent, especially for Senior Zombies… This means that most of the Infant Zombies born here have parents who are merely mutation zombies? I wonder if the condition of the Progenitor affects their evolution in any way and what level they are considered now…”

The psychic light cluster of an Infant Zombie differs significantly from that of an adult zombie, so Ling Mo couldn’t draw any conclusions from observation. Additionally, due to size constraints, these little zombies have different attack patterns, and even if he could determine their level, he couldn’t estimate their combat strength…

Just as Ling Mo was pulling his thoughts back together, the Infant Zombie let out another howl. Its voice suddenly intensified, causing a ringing sound in Ling Mo’s ears and making him feel dizzy, accompanied by a surge of nausea.

“Oh no, what was that? A sonic attack?”

Unexpectedly, the vocal system of these Infant Zombies had also undergone a variation, and Ling Mo was caught off guard.

Hearing Ling Mo let out a muffled groan, the zombie tilted its bighead and emitted a series of raspy chuckles.

“What’s there to be proud of!” Ling Mo was furious. Although he managed to conjure his Tentacles, the dizziness in his head made it impossible to lock onto a target, leaving him unable to use his Superpower effectively.

Next to him, Jason hurried to cover his ears, but it didn’t seem to help much. He shouted, “Ling-Ge, come up with a plan! The influence of their screaming will only get stronger with so many little monsters!”

“Hey, just leave the problem to me, huh… But these little guys really are nemeses for mental ability users…”

Ling Mo felt a bit frustrated.

The little zombies kept shrieking incessantly, affecting even Ye Lian and the others to varying degrees. Ling Mo’s expression shifted slightly, and his opinion of these Infant Zombies deepened.

No wonder they aren’t afraid of Senior Zombies; they really do have such a significant advantage. This further confirmed Ling Mo’s suspicion that these Infant Zombies are indeed more perfected than the first generation zombies…

“Even if the rules of evolution call for elimination, it’s absolutely not going to affect Ye Lian and the others… Wild Zombies follow the natural order without interference, but they’re different… The resources I have can help them!” Ling Mo thought immediately.

“Hiss…”

The Infant Zombie screeched again triumphantly, and the slowly approaching Infant Zombies immediately leaped forward, howling and rushing swiftly towards the group.

These Infant Zombies could leap four to five meters in one bound, landing without any pause, which also significantly increased their agility.

Yet the one Ling Mo had been staring at remained on the rooftop, retreating a few steps. It seemed to have no intention of joining the fray, continuing to screech with its head raised.

“Could this one be the alpha zombie of this pack of cadet troops? It does seem to have the highest Intelligence…” Ling Mo’s attention locked onto this Infant Zombie immediately, but it seemed to sense his focus, retreating even faster and shrieking more urgently.

The attack from the Infant Zombies instantly became more frenzied, closing in rapidly from all sides.

Jason let out a scream, holding his gun but unable to aim accurately, resorting to firing in the direction of the open space.

Fortunately, although Ye Lian and the others were somewhat affected, their zombie battle instincts kicked in at this moment.

Ye Lian, without even taking precise aim, instinctively pulled the trigger. As the bullet shot out, the nearest Infant Zombie fell from the air, crashing heavily into the wall of a building ten meters away.

When the Infant Zombie hit the wall, there was a dull “thud,” and as it fell to the ground, it opened its mouth and let out a pitiful wail.

Ling Mo glanced at the Infant Zombie and immediately understood Jason’s comment about needing to go for headshots.

Half of this zombie’s body was already torn to shreds by the sniper bullet, yet it sped up its charge again, even going so far as to stuff its own viscera back in…

“Damn! Brutal!”

But these Infant Zombies were incredibly fast, and given their small size, getting a precise headshot was not an easy task.

Ling Mo raised the handgun that Jason had given him earlier and fired repeatedly without hesitation, maintaining a serious expression.

A few seconds later, Jason cast a peculiar look at Ling Mo and cautiously reminded, “Ling-Ge, you haven’t hit a single one…”

“I’m just trying to distract them; it’s a tactical move… Retreat to the wall! Being surrounded on all sides is terrible for us.” Ling Mo responded decisively.

“Retreat!”

Ling Mo fired a few more shots, simultaneously trying to focus his mind.

“Hurry up and recover…”
