My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1090: You Can Talk Nonsense, But You Really Shouldnt Eat Anything Randomly

“No, quite the opposite…” The Mother Spider not only didn’t get angry at Ling Mo’s interruption, but instead showed a strange expression. “I was the one who ate it…”

“Ugh…” As soon as these words were spoken, dry retching could be heard from the darkness…

“You really are… desperate to the point of eating anything…” Ling Mo’s mouth twitched as he forced out a response.

“How should I put it… Back then, although I was trapped at home, it wasn’t to the point where I’d starve to death, nor did I need to eat the spiders I raised myself just to survive. The reason I did it was entirely because my mental state had completely collapsed. My neighbor… the one who killed the Zombie at my door, he might have been the only other living person in the whole building besides me. Now he’s gone too, and I was the only one left here. But unlike him, even when it was dead silent outside, I couldn’t muster the courage to leave the house. I didn’t even dare to open the door, let alone search for hope outside alone. But at the same time, I was very clear in my heart: if I kept staying here, sooner or later I’d die slowly from hunger and thirst…”

“The thought that such a fate, worse than death, was about to befall me made me completely despair… Maybe because of that, when I saw the second living thing in the whole room, the pressure in my heart suddenly exploded. The fear those Zombies brought me was too overwhelming. In front of them, I felt like nothing but an insect. So when I pinned down the Spider and stuffed it into my mouth, I finally regained a shred of what it felt like to be human… I wasn’t an insect-there were still creatures weaker than me in this world… That feeling was like desperately finding a bit of hope in the midst of despair. Convincing myself to hold on a little longer. After all, I was afraid, but I didn’t want to die…” At this point, Ling Mo basically understood: “So, your variation started after you ate the Spider? And you just said your Spider seemed off because it had come into contact with that Zombie’s blood, right?”

“That’s right… It must have been attracted by the smell of blood, but the crack under the door was small, so it didn’t crawl out. It just absorbed some of the Zombie blood that seeped inside. Even if it hadn’t directly fed on it, the blood soaking it was probably enough to cause its infection, right? But in my state at the time, I didn’t think about any of this, nor did I even notice what was different about it…”

After eating the Spider, the Mother Spider continued to shrink into the corner. In this empty building, with only corpses inside and Zombies outside, the Mother Spider didn’t move, just stared blankly out the window… When the sky gradually darkened, the variation suddenly occurred.

“At first it was pain, then it turned into a numb itching. It felt like there were many Spiders crawling back and forth in my stomach and intestines. Especially my stomach. I felt as if that Spider had come back to life and was treating my body as food. It was gnawing at me from the inside, bit by bit. And that itching sensation felt as if it was caused by the digestive fluid the Spider had injected into me…” “At that moment, I suddenly sobered up… If I was going to die anyway, I’d rather be killed outright by a Zombie than be hollowed out from the inside by a Spider. And the sensation was so real, nothing like an illusion. Every passing second, the emptiness inside me grew stronger, and after ten seconds, my whole abdominal cavity felt completely hollow. Then, I began to feel something new…”

Hunger!

The Mother Spider was utterly starving!

It began to detect the scent of blood in the air with greater sensitivity, and a strong craving surged incessantly in its heart. At first, he could barely resist, but when hunger even began to replace fear, he finally wavered.

“I used to be terrified of that corpse, so scared I couldn’t even think about her. But then, I couldn’t help but keep looking at her, and her blood’s scent filled my nose. I held out for half the night, then, as dawn broke, I finally dashed to the doorway and opened the door…”

“You know? Most of that blood had already coagulated; much of it was stuck to the floor and couldn’t be scraped up. After I’d sucked up all I could, I started licking the floor… In the end, aside from the corpse, there wasn’t a single drop of blood left. Only then did I finally snap out of it. But afterwards, this didn’t go away-instead, it became more and more severe. I thought about dying, but I couldn’t do it… My body began to change slowly. At first my belly swelled, but later, I could really feel it-there really was a Spider inside me…”

“If this Spider wanted to grow, it needed me to drink blood… But at that point, I also discovered a benefit. I used to be very weak, but after I drained that Zombie’s blood, my strength began to surge. Later, when I couldn’t bear it anymore, I grabbed a kitchen knife and went outside…”

“And you know the rest.” The Mother Spider looked at Ling Mo and said, “The Spider inside me grew larger and larger, until it finally fused completely with my body. Now the Spider is it, and it’s me. We can no longer be separated.”

“No wonder you drank Zombie blood but didn’t get infected by the virus… Turns out the main viral load was taken by that Spider. But as a side effect, you ended up being influenced by it and turned into a Human-headed Spider…” Ling Mo nodded thoughtfully.

A complicated look flashed in the Mother Spider’s eyes, and he gave a weird laugh: “That’s right, that’s what happened. So, don’t you think it’s pretty impressive that I’m still alive?”

“Tsk… So after all this, you’re trying to play the sympathy card? If that’s the case, I advise you to give up early. I don’t have that kind of pointless sympathy.” Ling Mo interrupted expressionlessly. Having a tough life? As if anyone else had it easy! Just think: if the situation were suddenly reversed right now, this Mother Spider would definitely have no qualms about treating them all as food.

“So, you insist on fighting? There’s no room for negotiation?” The Mother Spider’s expression changed, and his human head, growing from the belly of the Spider, made every shift in expression look especially grotesque. But as he spoke, there was a hint of submission in his tone.

This actually took Ling Mo by surprise…
