My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 662: Blossoming Blood on the Road

“I didn’t expect you to be so restrained.” Watching the members of the Investigative Team leave, Zhang Yu looked at Yuwen Xuan with a somewhat complex expression and said.

“Just restrained?” Yuwen Xuan retorted.

“You handled it well… but I don’t want to praise you!” Zhang Yu rolled his eyes and then asked seriously, “Honestly, if they had been more aggressive, what would you have done?”

Yuwen Xuan stretched lazily and chuckled, “What could I do? They can’t beat us now and still need our air support. As for us… we temporarily rely on their food supplies. But we can grow food; how do you build planes? Who has the upper hand here is pretty obvious, isn’t it?”

“That’s true…” Zhang Yu nodded. After a brief silence, he couldn’t help but ask, “Actually, you just want to wait until we find Ling Mo and let him make the decisions, right?”

“Yes!” Yuwen Xuan responded.

Not hiding anything at all!

Zhang Yu slapped his forehead and asked with a headache, “Although I can roughly guess the reason, I still want to ask… why are you so fixated on Ling Mo? You have an airport, a team, the only air force in the entire province. And he is just…”

“A small team, right?” Yuwen Xuan finished the sentence for him.

Zhang Yu felt a bit embarrassed but still nodded firmly, “Yes. I don’t deny his abilities, and I know this Air Force Corps was given to you by him. But now we are the ones building and expanding here. If he comes and you let him…”

Zhang Yu didn’t finish his sentence, but he knew Yuwen Xuan had understood.

The credit was Ling Mo’s, but suddenly changing leaders would make everyone anxious.

Moreover, no one wants to easily give up something they’ve already got.

This thought was selfish, even somewhat shameless, but Zhang Yu had to say it.

Yuwen Xuan frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then said, “The reason is quite simple. First, with him here, Yalin is here. Second, I’ll keep it a mystery for now. Maybe you can’t understand, but just remember one thing. Ling Mo has much more than you can imagine.”

After speaking, Yuwen Xuan squinted his eyes mysteriously, looking like he was lost in thought.

His unconditional trust in Ling Mo was something others wouldn’t understand, and he wouldn’t explain it either.

But when a person can coexist peacefully with Zombies, that alone makes them extraordinarily valuable.

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yuwen Xuan thoughtfully.

He believed that this madman Yuwen Xuan wouldn’t make baseless claims about such matters. Moreover, Ling Mo’s abilities were well-documented. If he had more horrifying secrets, it would make sense…

“Are you dozing off?” Zhang Yu suddenly shouted angrily.

…

Meanwhile, on a highway several hundred kilometers away from Falcon Second Camp, an Off-road Vehicle was speeding along.

Zombies continuously emerged from the road and roadside, rushing toward the Off-road Vehicle like moths to a flame.

However, just as they were about to collide with the vehicle, these Zombies would often leap up without warning, avoiding the crash and landing on the car’s roof or windshield.

But the Off-road Vehicle always managed to adjust direction just in time, causing the Zombies to miss and crash heavily to the ground.

This kind of precise judgment and rich experience was hard to come by.

Zombies moved quickly and accurately, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to react in time.

To evade them, the best strategy was to maintain distance.

“Haha, another one fell!” Li Yalin excitedly pressed against the window, looking back at the road.

The Zombie that had fallen quickly got up again, its body crooked and arms dangling, stubbornly chasing after the vehicle.

But before it could pick up speed, a bloody hole suddenly appeared in its face, causing its mouth and nose to vanish.

It took two more steps forward before collapsing to the ground.

Several other Zombies trailing behind quickly reached the corpse and started tearing it apart. For a moment, only the huddled Zombies could be seen, with blood spurting out from the center.

Inside the car, Ye Lian lifted her head and glanced at the still-smoking gun barrel, her face showing no reaction.

Meanwhile, Xia Na, who was driving, had her eyes glowing with excitement. Her smile grew even more eerie as more Zombies appeared in front of them.

After skillfully avoiding several Zombies, one Zombie finally managed to grab the side mirror through the sacrifices of its companions. It then lunged at the car.

But just as it was about to hit the vehicle, it suddenly seemed to be pulled back by an invisible force. It flew backward and crashed to the ground.

“Great coordination, Ling-Ge!” Xia Na praised.

Ling Mo, sitting in the front passenger seat, gave her an annoyed look before turning to the third row of seats.

Mu Chen was sitting there, his face pale, looking like he could faint at any moment.

“Should I slow down?” Xia Na asked, noticing Ling Mo’s concern.

“Better to get it over with quickly,” Ling Mo replied heavily.

“…You bastard… Ugh!” Mu Chen managed to curse half a sentence before his face twisted in agony, and he hurriedly covered his mouth.

Ling Mo ignored Mu Chen’s angry glare, took out his phone, and checked it again. “Are we close to Cuihu City?”

“We’ll reach Xinlan Town first. But it’s basically part of Cuihu,” Xia Na answered.

“Xinlan…” Li Yalin suddenly muttered thoughtfully.

Ling Mo immediately turned around and asked, “What’s up, Senior Sister? Do you recognize it?”

“Yeah… it sounds familiar.” Li Yalin frowned, thinking for a moment, but then shook her head. “I don’t know, I can’t remember.”

“It’s okay, take your time,” Ling Mo said. With the vast memory capacity of a Zombie, finding a small place name in all those memories was indeed not easy.

For Zombies, memories didn’t have any significance, nor were they nostalgic or regretful.

They categorized memories as useful or useless, and for Li Yalin, Xinlan Town probably belonged to the latter category.

Still, the fact that Li Yalin had any reaction to Xinlan at all surprised Ling Mo.

Looking back, he realized he didn’t know much about Senior Sister’s past.

One was a well-liked, beautiful Senior Sister, and the other was an ordinary, unnoticed boy. The chances of their paths crossing were slim to begin with.

But now they were partners, and Ling Mo found himself quite interested in Li Yalin’s life before she became a Zombie. How could he help her evolve to her ideal state without understanding her past?

However, this kind of thing couldn’t be rushed. Maybe once they actually got to Xinlan Town, she might remember something from her previous life…

Whoosh!

The screeching sound of tires skidding on the ground rang out again, accompanied by the laughter of Xia Na and Li Yalin, and a delayed, odd shout from Xu Shuhan.

“If it weren’t for my improved Puppet Control ability, it would be impossible to maintain contact at such high speeds,” Ling Mo thought, glancing back.

Meanwhile, some 1500 meters away from Ling Mo and his group, a large white figure was racing along the highway, carrying a small person.

This fluffy white ball, despite looking cumbersome and moving with an awkward gait as if it could trip over itself at any moment, was surprisingly swift.

Occasionally, some stray Zombies, which had lost track of the Off-road Vehicle and were wandering aimlessly, appeared on the road.

The white ball didn’t even bother to dodge them. It charged straight ahead, and just as it was about to engage in close combat with a Zombie, it would suddenly lift a front paw and slap it aside with a “smack.”

That paw, as if swatting a fly, effortlessly sent the Zombie flying.

By the time the Zombie got up, the white ball had already run far ahead.

“Roar!”

The injured Zombie took only a few steps before being pounced on by two other Zombies from behind. Before it could struggle, one of its arms was torn off, and a large hole was gouged out of its abdomen.

As blood spread across the ground, the only sounds left on this desolate highway were the chewing of the Zombies and the gurgling noises of them swallowing blood…

“Xiao Bai, run faster! No, no… don’t run! Wait, just run! Ugh, what should we do?”

Yu Shiran, clinging to Xiao Bai’s back, furrowed her brows, looking completely puzzled and conflicted.
