My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 960: The First Barrel of Blood

“What?!” Skinny Monkey was shocked as soon as he heard it.

Go down there? Just looking at that tunnel entrance gave him the creeps!

And… if Ling Mo wasn’t down there, then who was making that cry for help?

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed!

Xu Shuhan was also momentarily stunned, but she didn’t react as dramatically as Skinny Monkey.

She quickly understood Ling Mo’s reasoning… Yuwen Xuan went down there to find him. Although the recent antics might make one think, “This guy really is a madman,” on closer inspection, Yuwen Xuan clearly entered knowing the risks. He had Skinny Monkey block Ling Mo, considering the possibility that Ling Mo might risk himself to find him.

At first glance, there might have been better ways to handle this, like waiting for Xu Shuhan’s news or meeting up with her first before making a decision… However, knowing that someone was calling for help below, anyone who could calmly choose the best course of action wouldn’t be called a madman…

“I’ll go with you,” Xu Shuhan said, grabbing Ling Mo’s arm quietly.

She glanced nervously at the tunnel entrance, then cleared her throat resolutely, “I can help.”

“It’s quite dangerous…”

“How will you find Yuwen Xuan?” Xu Shuhan asked, raising her head.

There was clearly more than just Yuwen Xuan down there. Relying solely on a psychic probe to find a specific individual would be difficult… Besides, whether Ling Mo’s psychic probe would work after going down was also uncertain…

Thinking of this, Ling Mo sighed and patted Xu Shuhan’s shoulder, “Alright. Just stay behind me.”

“Ah?” Xu Shuhan was about to nod but then paused noticeably.

Once she realized, she quickly shook off Ling Mo’s hand, “Got it.”

Ling Mo was taken aback, “Uh… was I just rejected?”

Then he turned to Skinny Monkey, “The situation has changed. I originally planned to lure all the Monsters to one place and trap them in this building…”

“What Monsters…” Skinny Monkey’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but stammer.

“You don’t need to worry about that for now. You go out first and close the door… The next part is crucial, so listen carefully…”

After Ling Mo finished explaining, Skinny Monkey was completely stunned.

Once he snapped out of it, his first question was, “What about you two if I close the door?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. But no matter what, those Monsters can’t be allowed to escape,” Ling Mo replied.

These Monsters moved in groups… If hundreds of them suddenly appeared outside, it would cause chaos. Moreover, if Xia Na’s estimation was correct, there might be thousands or even more Humanoid Monsters hidden underground in this area… If they were surrounded by these Monsters and Zombies, their situation would be dire.

The unknown is always the most terrifying. The less you know about the exact numbers, the less you can afford to take risks.

On the other hand, the Monster capable of making a cry for help gave Ling Mo a strange feeling… A Humanoid Monster capable of setting a hunting trap might be far more terrifying than hundreds of Humanoid Monsters…

“Well… I’m going then…” Skinny Monkey said, sniffling.

“Come on, don’t cry…”

“I’m not crying, just a bit nervous… I’m going.” Skinny Monkey took a few steps, turning back frequently, and didn’t forget to close the door behind him.

With a soft “click,” the room fell into silence.

The tunnel entrance seemed like a gaping maw on the ground, silently waiting for them.

Xu Shuhan looked at Ling Mo, “What’s your plan?”

“Xiao Bai will fill this in later,” Ling Mo said directly, “It won’t be hard to dig it out when we come back.”

“But won’t that captive bring the Monsters here?” Xu Shuhan asked anxiously.

“That’s why we need to create an illusion… Maybe the more chaos he causes in the building, the safer we’ll be down there… Time’s short, let’s go.” Ling Mo said, already climbing down the edge.

Seeing him jump so decisively, Xu Shuhan, who had more to say, was momentarily speechless…

“I’m a Zombie, after all…” she muttered, then followed him down.

Thud-

Upon landing, Ling Mo immediately straightened up and pulled a Flashlight from his pocket.

As the Flashlight beam appeared, a masked face suddenly emerged in front of him…

“You scared me!” Xu Shuhan exclaimed softly.

“It’s fine. Yuwen Xuan is ahead of us, so it’s unlikely we’ll encounter any Monsters,” Ling Mo said while scanning the surroundings with the Flashlight.

“Hey, you said something terrifying in such a calm tone…” Xu Shuhan looked around nervously, removing her mask to reveal a pale yet sweet face and a pair of blood-red eyes…

“I heard from Tang Hao that they have a way to instantly attract many Monsters… I didn’t find it in the room, so I’m looking here,” Ling Mo explained, moving slowly.

“Found it…”

He directed the Flashlight to a spot not far away, revealing a dust-covered blue plastic barrel in the bright light.

“What is it…” Xu Shuhan moved swiftly, lightly tapping it.

Thud thud…

The barrel itself seemed fine, but the sound it made was somewhat muffled.

Xu Shuhan glanced back at Ling Mo for confirmation. Seeing him nod, she lifted the edge slightly and quickly sniffed. The next second, she hastily replaced the lid and stepped back, eyes wide with shock.

“What is it?” Ling Mo asked, though he had a hunch…

“Blood…” Xu Shuhan covered her mouth with her hand, her chest heaving, her face full of terror. Things that triggered such a strong instinctive reaction in her also brought immense fear…

“They went all out to succeed, huh…” Ling Mo gently patted her back, saying, “A whole barrel of blood still in Liquid form, they must have prepared it recently… So this tunnel entrance was just dug up, then covered with a layer of loose soil and a carpet. If we were lured here unknowingly, we’d fall right in…”

“But how do they ensure…” Xu Shuhan’s attention was indeed diverted, her complexion improving.

“How do they ensure we knock over the barrel? The reason is simple… we don’t need to knock it over.” Ling Mo said as he walked over…
