My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 665: Life is Full of Malice

However, when Li Yalin threw the zombie into the nearby clothing store and prepared to extract the gel as usual, her hand suddenly stopped above the zombie’s head.

In her slightly amber-colored eyes, a peculiar expression flickered.

“It seems like…”

Li Yalin tilted her head, pondering with great effort.

She struggled to retrieve a related memory from the chaotic storage in her mind—

“Uh… no.”

After shaking her head, Li Yalin’s hand swiftly moved downwards.

“Splurt!”

In just a fraction of a second, Li Yalin’s Snake Kiss Dagger pierced the zombie’s head, and a tiny gel appeared on her blade.

As she left the clothing store, Li Yalin couldn’t help but glance back at the zombie.

At that moment, a vague figure emerged in her mind.

Similar to the zombie, this figure was also dressed in sportswear.

“But who is this?” Li Yalin strained to recall, and the figure gradually became clearer in her mind.

Just as she discerned a high ponytail, the figure blurred once again.

Numerous fragmented memories surged forth, quickly submerging this particular recollection into the depths of her mind.

Li Yalin’s eyes turned vacant once more. She paused for a moment, then resolutely walked away…

No one noticed this scene, not even Ling Mo, who failed to capture the momentary psychic fluctuation from Li Yalin.

Meanwhile, in the hotel, Mu Chen, having just cleared out a few zombies on the first floor, was sitting in the hallway, drenched in sweat.

There were more zombies upstairs, but he couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

Opposite him sat Xu Shuhan, who appeared unresponsive.

It was unclear whether she was too confused to think or in a self-absorbed state that others couldn’t penetrate.

Mu Chen believed it to be the former, but the occasional flicker in Xu Shuhan’s eyes made him doubt his judgment.

Did he misinterpret her?

Mu Chen carefully extended his hand and waved it in front of Xu Shuhan.

“Roar!”

Xu Shuhan’s head immediately jerked forward, looking as if she was ready to pounce at any moment.

Mu Chen’s scalp tingled, and he reflexively pulled back.

After a two-minute standoff, Mu Chen noticed that as long as he remained still, Xu Shuhan stayed calm.

This behavior didn’t match that of typical zombies. Could it be that by staying still, he didn’t pose a threat to her?

Mu Chen racked his brain but couldn’t be sure of his hypothesis.

He realized that his gap with Ling Mo had widened in another aspect—confidence.

Ordinary people faced with zombies felt not just fear but also ignorance. They didn’t know the specific behavioral patterns of zombies beyond their aggression, let alone that different zombies could have different “personalities.”

To reach a level of mutual understanding, Niepan had begun researching the virus.

But what about Ling Mo? How did he come to know all this?

It wasn’t just understanding; Ling Mo had a confidence in his own judgments.

It was this confidence that helped him make correct decisions, like helping Xu Shuhan.

At least knowing that staying still kept him safe, Mu Chen relaxed a bit.

He stared at Xu Shuhan, thinking about the progress Ling Mo and the others might be making, not noticing the occasional struggle flickering in Xu Shuhan’s eyes.

“Ugh…”

Xu Shuhan opened her mouth, making a slight sound from her throat.

Her eyes grew redder, but her expression suddenly turned pained.

Suddenly, she closed her eyes tightly, her lips pressed together, and her hands clenched into fists.

Several seconds later, her fingers slowly relaxed, and her eyes gradually opened.

At this moment, the redness in her eyes had noticeably faded.

“Ugh… Mu…”

Xu Shuhan’s lips moved with a struggling expression, her voice sounding like it came from a throat parched and dry from lack of water.

Mu Chen was initially in a daze, but after two seconds, he snapped out of it: “You spoke?!”

As he asked, he involuntarily stood up.

The motion and sound must have been too loud, as Xu Shuhan’s eyes turned red again. She clutched her head as if in pain and shook it, saying, “Don’t… make noise…”

Her eyes were still fixed on Mu Chen, but at this moment, a faint blood-red aura seemed to cover him.

It was as if she could see his human heart beating right in front of her, and the scent of a human constantly wafted into her nose. 𝖋𝗿𝗲𝗲𝖜𝗲𝗯𝐧𝖔𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝖔𝗺

Xu Shuhan swallowed and, with great difficulty, said again, “Don’t… make noise…”

“Okay… okay, I won’t make any noise,” Mu Chen said, raising his hands to control his shock. “I’ll go find Ling Mo and tell him you’re much better.”

“Wait…” Xu Shuhan’s eyes suddenly widened, and the fierce look in them made Mu Chen stop in his tracks.

Wasn’t she able to speak already? Why was she still so intimidating?

“I’m just temporarily… clear-headed.” Xu Shuhan spoke while shaking her head, which didn’t look like clarity but more like a semi-confused state.

However, the fact that she could speak was already an amazing progress. Mu Chen admired Ling Mo while being very curious about Xu Shuhan’s current condition. Only Ling Mo could truly explain what this situation meant…

“Even if it’s temporary, it’s still a good thing! No, I have to find Ling Mo and let him check you out,” Mu Chen insisted, though he didn’t dare to directly bypass Xu Shuhan.

Xu Shuhan didn’t seem to intend to move either. Instead, she shook her head and said, “No… no rush. I have… something to say…”

As she spoke, Xu Shuhan seemed to hear Xia Na’s words echoing in her ears.

“When the time comes, you’ll remember…” And now, Xu Shuhan remembered.

The fact that only Mu Chen was present at the moment made it a unique opportunity…

A sentence was on the tip of Xu Shuhan’s tongue…

“The three girls with Ling Mo are not human…”

But under Mu Chen’s slightly wary gaze, Xu Shuhan ultimately couldn’t say it.

They aren’t human, but does that mean she is?

In Xu Shuhan’s somewhat chaotic mind, she occasionally felt like she was still the Xu Shuhan who used to carry a recorder and wield a submachine gun.

But the thought “Ye Lian and the other two girls are zombies” kept interjecting.

Xu Shuhan had felt shock and fear.

But when she started viewing herself as a zombie, she felt both fear and a strange longing towards them…

At this moment, seeing the expression in Mu Chen’s eyes, Xu Shuhan suddenly understood.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Chen asked.

He was genuinely worried that Xu Shuhan might suddenly lash out again. Although she could speak now, her expressions and eyes still retained zombie-like characteristics.

“Help… help me tell…” Xu Shuhan struggled to move her lips, “Tell Ling Mo… thank you…”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt surprisingly relieved.

Even her chaotic mind seemed to clear up quite a bit.

She had mutated, which would have been an unacceptable fact for her in the past.

But thinking about Ye Lian and the others, Xu Shuhan realized that maybe things weren’t so bad after all.

As long as she could control herself completely, as Xia Na had said…

And to control even her instincts, the best way was to prevent the virus from eroding her thoughts and memories…

“Mu… Mu Chen.” Xu Shuhan leaned against the wall and said, “Tell me… tell me a story.”

“Huh?”

Mu Chen was stunned. He could understand the thank you, but a story… what was going on?!

Nonetheless, he asked hesitantly, “What kind of story?”

“Memories…” Xu Shuhan continued.

“I see.” Although confused, Mu Chen nodded, “Should I start with your story? Though I don’t know much about you…”

“No…” Xu Shuhan shook her head, “Tell… tell me about Ling Mo. And… and you guys.”

Mu Chen was dumbfounded for a few seconds, “Why do I suddenly feel a sense of malice?”

After grumbling, Mu Chen coughed, frowning and looking as if he had swallowed a fly, he began speaking, “A few days ago, Ling Mo took us…”

As Mu Chen narrated, Xu Shuhan’s expression gradually softened…
