My Girlfriend is a Zombie

“Xiao… Xiao Pan?”

The guard’s throat suddenly went dry as he looked at the scene before him.

On the dimly lit staircase ahead, Xiao Pan stood silently, as if he hadn’t heard the commotion behind him.

Yet, as the guard looked on, Xiao Pan suddenly moved.

Without turning his head, he slowly retreated downstairs, his upper body tense and rigid.

As Xiao Pan backed away, a shadowy figure gradually came into the guard’s view.

The slender silhouette seemed harmless at first glance, but when a cold glint appeared in the guard’s vision, a chill ran down his spine.

Another one!

Do these people always move so stealthily?

But in front of them, all caution was futile…

From the moment they entered this building, they had already fallen into the enemy’s trap…

But why? Why aren’t these people in a hurry to escape? Why are they lingering in such a place… What do they want?

Breathing heavily, the guard glanced at Ling Mo.

In the darkness, Ling Mo’s expression seemed indifferent, but his eyes were bright and piercing.

Does this person want to take them hostage? Or… extract some Intelligence?

Or perhaps… establish authority through killing? Revenge?

In his panic, the guard’s legs instinctively kicked at the ground, pressing him flat against the wall.

“Don’t bother, you can’t walk through walls,” Ling Mo suddenly said.

“Wha… What do you want?”

The guard’s voice was a bit hysterical, sounding shrill in the quiet hallway.

At the same time, his eyes grew darker, as if foreseeing a grim outcome.

To the guard’s surprise, Ling Mo actually let out a chuckle.

“Why are you laughing…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Ling Mo suddenly squat down and then raise his arm.

A cold touch suddenly came from his forehead, the guard instinctively looked up and was instantly terrified out of his wits.

The dark gun barrel was now pressed against his forehead!

“No, no, no! Don’t kill me!”

The guard’s mind went blank…

He’s really going to shoot? But didn’t he say he wanted to talk?!

Even if Ling Mo didn’t have a gun in his hand, the guard knew he was no match.

He didn’t dare to resist, but he also didn’t want to be killed just like that!

Some people usually shout, “I’m not afraid of death,” but how many can remain calm when faced with death? Especially this guard… he was really afraid of dying!

In the brief one or two seconds that passed, it felt like an eternity to the guard.

It wasn’t until Ling Mo lowered his arm that the guard realized his back was soaked in cold sweat…

He looked at Ling Mo with trembling lips, still muttering, “Don’t kill me…”

The look of fear in the guard’s eyes towards Ling Mo was now even more intense than before.

Even though Ling Mo hadn’t fired, the moment the gun was pressed against him, he felt an immense mental pressure!

This pressure made him feel like he was falling into an icy abyss, as if a snake was biting his neck, and he could clearly feel the venom being injected into his body, quickly spreading through his blood…

This near-death experience almost scared him to wet himself!

“Is this some kind of Superpower? A hallucination? No… it doesn’t quite seem like that…” the guard thought with lingering fear.

At the same time, the guard suddenly noticed that Ling Mo’s gaze was more scrutinizing than before.

“Although I’m not a true mental ability user, I can still easily simulate the ability of the sunglasses man… With psychic interference as a foundation, and the forced infusion of some mental energy, I can deepen the influence when the target’s mental state is already unstable… It’s a bit of an improved version. Unlike the sunglasses man, who can only exert some pressure on others.”

“And the effect when I use it is much more pronounced. For instance, this guard is afraid of death. When under the influence, he feels like he’s narrowly escaping death… Yes, from his psychic fluctuation and facial expression, that seems to be the case…”

“If this ability were stronger, would it make him think he was really dead? If it could reach that level, then I could truly kill someone with a glance…”

“But thinking it through, this technique still has significant limitations. Its effectiveness hinges on the target’s current emotions… If he had felt like laughing just now, the effect might have been to make him laugh until his stomach hurt. And what if he felt like peeing?”

“Also, it only works at close range, which is a drawback compared to the sunglasses man… When will I be able to scare a bunch of Brats to tears just by glaring at them? That would be something…”

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Ling Mo sighed inwardly.

Meanwhile, the guard, being stared down by Ling Mo, was already terrified beyond belief.

Ling Mo finally looked at him and asked, “You’re the one leading this team, right?”

The guard was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded.

“You’re quite clever,” Ling Mo suddenly said.

“I… I don’t understand…” The guard’s face turned even paler.

“Though you’re very scared, you’re not stupid. Just now, you deliberately raised your voice to alert the two at the door, didn’t you?” Ling Mo said with a smile.

The guard shuddered again, a hint of despair crossing his eyes.

Everyone was wiped out…

And now he was trapped in this remote building, completely isolated and helpless…

“Don’t kill me…” The guard pleaded again.

“Alright, I said I just wanted to talk,” Ling Mo shook his hand but then suddenly changed his tone, “But if you try any more tricks…”

The guard shook his head frantically, “I don’t dare! Whatever you want to talk about, I’ll listen to you!”

“That guy is a superhuman, isn’t he?” Ling Mo asked, glancing at Xiao Pan.

“Yes, he’s part of the mutation system! His olfactory cells… no, his entire olfactory system has undergone some variation…” the guard quickly replied.

At this moment, Xiao Pan had already turned around and answered expressionlessly, “He’s right. My olfactory system and trigeminal nerve system have undergone variation, including my sense of taste. So my perception of scents, whether from a distance or up close, differs greatly from that of ordinary people, and it’s much keener… In simple terms, the smells I detect and the flavors I taste are different from what normal people experience.”

“I see… This kind of mutation must be a glutton’s tragedy.” Ling Mo nodded thoughtfully.

Xiao Pan suddenly asked, “Did you use perfume? This scent smells odd to me. And not only did you spray it on yourselves, but there’s even more upstairs. If I’m not mistaken, you must have other methods prepared to lure us in, like psychic power…”

“Figure it out yourself,” Ling Mo smiled and then asked, “How many people were sent to chase me?”

The guard hesitated for a moment before answering, “For now, just two teams…”

“Be more specific,” Ling Mo said, sitting down on the steps and lighting a cigarette.

“One team is us, and the other team is dispersed outside, guarding the intersections… Some of them might be stationed at higher vantage points, but I’m not exactly sure…” The guard added, “Actually, I was just dragged along to make up the numbers; I’m not really a captain…”

“He sure picked the right captain for this team,” Ling Mo remarked.

This guard was cautious and extremely afraid of dying. But precisely because of that, he wouldn’t dare to disobey orders easily.

Otherwise, why would he dare to enter this building?

In such chaos, for the senior management of Niepan to point out someone like this to take charge in a critical moment was a wake-up call for Ling Mo.

Niepan is not to be underestimated…

“Do you know anything else?” Ling Mo asked again.

A look of hesitation appeared on the guard’s face, “My position is pretty ordinary; I really don’t know much…”

“Alright then,” Ling Mo said, turning around and pulling out a notebook from his backpack, handing it over along with a pen, “Write down everything you know about the senior management. And also, write down the details of the guard team.”

For the information on those registration forms, Ling Mo didn’t fully trust them.

He himself could falsify information when registering, so others could easily write something vague or misleading.

But getting to know each superhuman one-by-one wasn’t exactly realistic…

Nevertheless, the strength of the guard team shouldn’t be underestimated. From Niepan’s actions this time, it was evident that this was their most trusted force.

In the future, when they send people to hunt Ling Mo, this force could play a very crucial role.

Although the main goal was to buy some time, Ling Mo wouldn’t miss the chance to gather intelligence.

Even if this guard didn’t know much about the regular members, he would definitely be familiar with other guards.

The guard, trembling, took the pen and struggled to twist off the cap, then suddenly looked up with a distressed face.

“I… I can’t see.”

He was frustrated; how come Ling Mo and the others weren’t affected by the environment…

Little did the guard know, Ling Mo was sharing his field of vision with Ye Lian, and that shy-looking girl who had been holding a knife to Xiao Pan was actually a dominant-level zombie!

“Here, take this flashlight.”

Ling Mo handed him another item and smiled, “Don’t even think about using the light to signal anyone; this is a blind spot.”

The guard’s hand shook as he took the flashlight, his heart pounding in fear: “Does this guy have mind-reading abilities? How does he know what I’m thinking?”

“But to bluff him and find out he actually had that intention…” Ling Mo thought to himself, stroking his chin while “staring” at the guard’s psychic light cluster.
