My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1070: Night Assassin

A few seconds later, the Male Spider Parasites suddenly stopped moving…

The Spiders that had been relentlessly advancing also suddenly halted at this moment.

However, they showed no intention of hiding again, instead surrounding the factory silently across the firewall. Through the flickering flames, one could see a dense black tide of Spiders, along with occasional flashes of red light…

Inside the suddenly quiet factory, the only sounds were the sizzling of Spider corpses in the fire and the heavy breathing of the group.

“Damn… why aren’t these things moving?” Ye Kai asked, his arm aching as he held his knife, sweat pouring down his face.

Beside him, Mu Chen also looked puzzledly at the firewall, muttering, “I don’t know… Honestly, my mind is completely blank right now…”

“Don’t worry, it was always empty in there…” Black Silk said in a childish voice.

After being mocked by such a little one, Mu Chen and Ye Kai suddenly realized that if it weren’t for Ling Mo, this line of defense would have been breached long ago, and the number of Spider corpses scattered at the little girl’s feet was astonishing. Compared to them, these two “Monsters,” one big and one small, seemed to be handling the situation with ease… Mu Chen licked his lips and exchanged a glance with Ye Kai…

Indeed, they were no ordinary people…

“By the way, could it be that they’re planning to charge all at once?” Yuwen Xuan suddenly changed the subject and asked.

With this interruption, Mu Chen’s eyebrows twitched as he snapped back to reality, quickly shifting his gaze. He echoed the question, “Yes… yes… judging by their appearance, they don’t intend to retreat at all. Damn, these little monsters are just like other mutation Species, they won’t give up on the food in front of them no matter how many of their kind’s corpses they see…”

As soon as he said this, Mu Chen wanted to slap himself… Even without looking at Black Silk, he knew that little one was surely staring at him. Maybe even licking her lips mischievously…

But when he nervously glanced over, he found that the suspicious little creature wasn’t paying attention to him at all… Instead, following Black Silk’s gaze, the person who appeared was… Ling Mo!

“Although I secretly breathed a sigh of relief… why does it feel a bit humiliating…” Mu Chen thought, feeling conflicted. As soon as he spoke, Mu Chen and Ye Kai’s expressions became somewhat unpleasant.

“But killing so many Spiders wasn’t completely useless,” Ling Mo added.

Black Silk nodded in agreement, her big eyes sparkling as she said crisply, “At least two objectives have been achieved: firstly, we’ve initially disrupted their deployment, gradually leveling the advantage that originally belonged to them, and secondly… we’ve made them cautious.”

“So that’s how it is…” Ye Kai suddenly realized… Indeed, whether they used the firewall or the terrain, the mere fact that four people managed to hold off the first wave of Spider attacks was enough to make the enemy reconsider.

Ling Mo’s decision to reserve his more formidable close combat abilities for later was likely a calculated move… This way, he could fill the enemy with apprehension while maximizing the team’s sustained combat capability… Being with someone so meticulous, although they faced many dangers, the chances of surviving those dangers were also high.

Moreover, Ling Mo not only thought ahead but also demonstrated such bizarre and formidable strength just now… Thinking of this, Ye Kai couldn’t help but feel tears welling up inside… When would he ever be able to defeat him!

At this moment, Ling Mo was staring outside the firewall, his mind involuntarily recalling his state just now. At that time, he wasn’t just multitasking; he was probably handling dozens of tasks simultaneously… It seemed that this variation not only condensed a spiritual body for him but also increased the number of Zombie Puppets he could effectively control through this method.

Reflecting on why this situation occurred, it was likely because after Xiao Hei partially separated, he essentially gained an external psychic light cluster. With two light clusters acting simultaneously, the speed of response to various commands and the use of Superpower in his mind increased significantly. However, to truly achieve the effect of one plus one equals two, Xiao Hei still needed to continue evolving… If Xiao Hei were already complete at this moment, perhaps… he could hold on alone for this long…

“It’s better not to dwell on such unknown matters; the most important thing now is the task at hand… But speaking of which, why does the heart get so easily excited during these battles…” Ling Mo quietly pressed his heart… As soon as his fingers touched his chest, he could clearly feel the pulse, and the “thump thump” sound of his heartbeat directly echoed in his mind.

This sensation was as if the heart had its own voice, gradually awakening within him…

He glanced at those little Spiders, and instantly thought of that big one… Only, unlike the Mother Spider, that one, which could also be called a “queen” Spider, was in essence still a variation zombie…

“Does this count as a death mark or not…” Ling Mo felt a bit of a headache… However, judging from the current situation, when his heart entered this state, his mental focus actually improved. But even though no fatal side effects had appeared yet, seeing that the “mark” was becoming harder and harder to suppress, Ling Mo still felt some apprehension. And to remove this potential unknown entity, perhaps the only way was to find the mastermind behind it…

“Captain! It’s moving!”

With a loud shout from Zhang Xincheng on the rooftop, Ling Mo and the others, who had just caught their breath, immediately straightened up.

At this moment, many Spiders had already surrounded them from the other three sides. The Observation Team had been forced back into the factory, but to prevent Ling Mo and the others from being attacked by these Spiders from the rooftop, Zhang Xincheng insisted on guarding up there, relying on his agility to keep stalling. At this point, Xu Shuhan also jumped up, and together, one person and one zombie barely managed to hold the rooftop for the time being. However, it was just a matter of minutes before it would be breached.

Not only that, but the firewall was also gradually dying down. Except for the other three sides where extra fuel had been deliberately added, the flames in the front were already weakening, bringing new pressure to everyone.

And right at this moment, these Spiders suddenly showed new signs of movement…

“Damn it… it’s still not over…” Ye Kai wiped away his sweat forcefully, cursing.

But to everyone’s surprise, even though the Spiders were surging, they didn’t immediately pounce.

After a bout of commotion, they actually slowly revealed some gaps…

Just as everyone stared in shock, Black Silk suddenly frowned and shouted, “Damn! They’re clustering together!”

“Clustering?” Mu Chen and the others jumped in fright, squinting to look over.

Although none of them had eyesight as good as Black Silk, they gradually understood… Black Silk was right. In the open space inside the factory, those Spiders were rapidly gathering into one small sphere after another… And these spheres then kept merging together, growing larger and larger… In the end, behind the firewall, nearly thirty such spheres appeared…

“Holy shit! What the hell is that!” Yuwen Xuan also cried out in horror.

The diameter of these “spheres” appeared to be about a meter each, seemingly combining most of the surrounding Spiders together… And although they looked like pitch-black spheres, under the firelight, it was clear that all the Spiders were crawling rapidly on them… Separated by only a thin firewall, they were watching them like hungry predators…

This scene sent a bone-chilling coldness through everyone present…

“Keep… keep calm…” Mu Chen couldn’t help but lower his voice and said, “Looking on the bright side… at least they didn’t merge into a single giant ball…”

“Y-yeah…” Ye Kai swallowed hard and nodded.

Ling Mo then spoke, “It’s not that they don’t want to, it’s because there isn’t just one person controlling them… Strictly speaking, they’re actually being controlled by those big Spiders…”

“If only we could find those big Spiders…”

Mu Chen had just started to fantasize when Black Silk mercilessly interrupted, “With so many Spiders, how would you find them?”

“Yeah, instead of looking for Spiders… we should look for the one controlling both the big Spiders and the Male Spiders…” Ling Mo said coldly.

“Captain, are you saying… but we can’t even see their shadows…” Mu Chen said.

Ling Mo didn’t reply… He had been waiting for the opponent’s next move, because only then would he have a chance to play his own trump card…

On the street, the group of Male Spider Parasites had just caught their breath after their exhaustion…

On the empty street, only their group remained.

One of them plopped down on the ground, swearing, “Damn… Ever since the zombies here were slowly wiped out, this is the first time I’ve been this tired. After getting sucked like that, who knows how many years of life I’ve lost again.”

“Anyway, those people are all trapped inside. When we catch them later, we’ll take our time torturing them to death!” another said.

Someone among them snorted discontentedly and said, “It’s mainly because Lu Ren is too stupid… If I were him, I’d secretly release a big Spider inside and have it bite each one of them while they slept. Or, he could inject poison into their food. Totally useless, not only did he fail, he got us all dragged into this…”

“Heh, you’re pretty ruthless… never would have guessed,” someone said sarcastically.

It was obvious that in this environment, they were all quite relaxed…

Someone even took out a cigarette at this moment, walked over to a car not far away, leaned against it, and lit up…

However, with a “snap” of the lighter, as the flame flickered, a burst of fresh blood instantly splattered across the entire car window…
