My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 670: Dont Drool at a Time Like This!

In a daze, Ling Mo felt a continuous surge of coolness flowing throughout his entire body.

He had no idea how much time had passed, but Ling Mo eventually snapped out of his daze.

His mind became much clearer, and the abnormal conditions in his body had significantly lessened.

Even the residual effects left by the Spider Queen were alleviated considerably in an instant.

As he opened his eyes, he found himself staring straight into Ye Lian’s slightly confused but deeply unsettling black eyes.

“What is this…”

Ling Mo was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his senses.

He grabbed Ye Lian’s shoulders, trying his best to control his excitement and asked as calmly as possible, “This… what’s going on?”

Ye Lian blinked and tilted her head, “Huh? Wha… what…”

Huh?!

Ling Mo was taken aback again. Isn’t she still a little stutterer?

Although it’s not a physical defect, it does indicate that her thinking and reactions are not in sync.

To put it bluntly, her reactions were relatively slow…

But…

“Girl, did you advance, right?”

Ling Mo’s expectant gaze locked onto Ye Lian as he shook her arms and asked.

Ye Lian swayed with his movements and then suddenly smiled dumbly, “Won’t… won’t fall…”

“This isn’t about playing Weeble Wobble!” Ling Mo slapped his forehead.

Since asking wasn’t working, he had to check it himself.

Ling Mo pulled Ye Lian around to look her over from head to toe, and Ye Lian obediently turned her body as he directed.

Just by looking at her appearance, there wasn’t much to tell…

If he had to point out something, there were two things that particularly caught Ling Mo’s attention.

One was Ye Lian’s psychic fluctuations. Due to the psychic link between them, he wouldn’t experience the same situation as when probing those dominant level zombies, but there were some similarities.

For example, when Ling Mo wasn’t fully concentrating his psychic power, he could sense that outside of Ye Lian’s psychic light cluster, there seemed to be a membrane, preventing him from immediately sensing her psychic fluctuations.

The other was Ye Lian’s eyes.

Although they still looked as confused as ever, within that confusion, there was clearly something else hidden…

But looking at Ye Lian’s behavior, it seemed like nothing much had changed.

“So, did she break through or not?”

Apart from this dilemma, another issue troubling Ling Mo was: Ye Lian clearly had the lowest evolution level, so why did she become the first to step onto the dominant level threshold at a time like this?

“Maybe it’s because she’s still in the transitional phase of her advancement…”

As Ling Mo pondered this, he reached out towards Ye Lian’s cheek.

This move was quite sudden, and Ling Mo’s eyes became somewhat sharp in that instant.

Almost instinctively, Ye Lian tilted her head to the side, naturally dodging his hand.

“As expected!”

Ling Mo, excited, didn’t stop. His missed hand moved down smoothly, aiming for Ye Lian’s shoulder. “Watch your step!”

Ye Lian’s attention was focused on Ling Mo’s hand, and when he suddenly shouted, she couldn’t help but look down, “Huh?”

“Gotcha.” Ling Mo smirked, his fingers just about to touch Ye Lian’s shoulder.

Ye Lian looked down only to find nothing there, realizing she had been tricked.

Ling Mo had good physical fitness and strong psychic reaction abilities. If he were still a leader-level zombie, this move would be hard to avoid, and she’d at least get grazed.

Moreover, when Ye Lian looked up, Ling Mo suddenly leaned forward, which also served as a distraction. No matter how fast her reaction was, there would inevitably be a split second of hesitation, and that moment was enough for Ling Mo to complete his “attack” move.

With his psychic power enhanced and his physical fitness slightly improved, Ling Mo felt that his body and psychic reaction speeds seemed more coordinated.

At the very least, performing the same action now felt much smoother than before.

This difference might not be noticeable to others, but from Ling Mo’s perspective, it was significant.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch Ye Lian’s body, Ye Lian’s pupils suddenly contracted sharply, then slowly dilated again, resembling a true “kaleidoscope.”

Immediately after, she dodged to the side at an extremely tricky angle, and Ling Mo’s hand missed her completely.

“Eh?”

Ling Mo was a bit stunned. He clearly saw what happened and could keep up with Ye Lian’s speed, but he just couldn’t adjust his movements in time.

Ye Lian had chosen an angle he never would have expected, evading in such a manner.

This was a perfect dodge!

Even though Ling Mo knew he would miss, and had time to change his move, in his current state, he simply couldn’t adjust to the direction Ye Lian had dodged.

If this were under normal circumstances, Ling Mo might have thought it was a coincidence.

But he had clearly seen Ye Lian’s eyes just now…

Was this a mutation in her eyes?

Unlike superpower users, a zombie’s partial mutations are not always the same. As they continue to evolve, their organs might completely change from what they originally were.

Although Ling Mo had mentally prepared for this, seeing his female zombie companion undergo a physical mutation still felt a bit unbelievable. He was momentarily dumbfounded.

“Ling-Ge, why… why did you trick me…” Ye Lian said, pouting slightly.

“Dominant level…”

Ling Mo was completely absorbed in shock. After a long while, he finally snapped out of it and, with a sudden move, pulled Ye Lian into his arms.

“Girl!”

Ling Mo had countless things to say, but when he opened his mouth, only these two words came out.

Ye Lian’s chin rested on Ling Mo’s shoulder. Her eyes were wide open, staring ahead.

She was dazed for a moment, then slowly lifted her hand and gently patted Ling Mo on the back.

“Whew~”

Ye Lian took a deep breath and buried her head in Ling Mo’s shoulder, greedily savoring the moment.

This moment seemed both fleeting and endless.

It wasn’t until he felt his shoulder getting wet that Ling Mo released Ye Lian. With a slight smile, he wiped the corner of her mouth. “Don’t drool on me at a time like this…”

Meanwhile, his eyes remained fixed on Ye Lian’s.

The change had only lasted an instant. Now, looking at Ye Lian, she seemed almost the same as usual…

But “almost” is not “exactly.” Upon closer inspection, there was still a slight, dizzying illusion.

This is the biggest difference between zombies and mutation beasts, and superpower users. Superpower users, when not using their abilities, are completely indistinguishable from normal people, and their abilities are only used for a short duration.

In their normal states, whether it’s the suddenly bulging muscles of enhancement types or the psychic power in the brains of mental ability users, all of it is invisible to the naked eye.

But zombie mutations are physiological and always present.

“Thankfully, it’s not too conspicuous…”

Ling Mo examined Ye Lian from all angles for a while, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

He had imagined various scenarios, but the current situation was better than he had expected.

“But what determines this kind of mutation? Is it the virus randomly? Or…”

Ling Mo furrowed his brow in thought, then suddenly had a flash of insight.

Could it be because Ye Lian often uses a sniper rifle?

No matter how precise her shooting is, she still relies on her eyes for aiming.

Using them frequently, did her instincts naturally choose this part to enhance?

That seems possible. After all, every mutation and enhancement is for the sake of further evolution.

And the mutations that occur in this process must be to improve the body’s survival and competitiveness.

“Yes, that must be it…”

Ling Mo couldn’t help but smile, then took Ye Lian for another look around. “What should we call it? ‘Flowers in the Eyes’? ‘Flower Eyes’?”

“N-no… no.” Ye Lian immediately shook her head like a rattle.

Even by her zombie aesthetic standards, that name was awful!

Not expecting his naming ability to be despised by the ever-innocent Ye Lian, Ling Mo felt incredibly awkward…

“Alright then… we’ll reconsider. But these eyes, they’re mainly to see from all angles and quickly choose the best one for you, right?” Ling Mo asked tentatively.

Ye Lian thought for a moment, then slowly nodded.

“So it is…” Ling Mo thoughtfully glanced at her. He had seen the effectiveness of these eyes in dodging, but he wasn’t sure about their performance in attacks.

But now wasn’t the best time to test it. Ye Lian had come out, but the other three female zombies and a mutation beast were still struggling to enhance themselves inside.
