My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1120: The Avatar Is Not an Avatar
Chapter 1120: The Avatar Is Not an Avatar
“Alright!” Ye Kai replied, blood boiling with excitement.
The others looked at Ling Mo with puzzled expressions… Just what had happened to him in those few seconds…
In fact, Ling Mo himself wasn’t sure if everything he had just experienced was truly a dream… But at least one thing was certain: that Zombie Progenitor was definitely not in a good state right now… Not only because the hypnosis had failed, but also because Ling Mo had delivered an unexpected blow to her in the dream. Therefore, for their group, now was the perfect time to break in.
“Next, we’ll split into two action squads. One squad will be responsible for locating Gu Shuangshuang and Skinny Monkey, and finding a way to rescue them. The other squad will focus on drawing the enemy’s attention, creating opportunities and conditions for the rescue team,” Ling Mo arranged after some thought. “Remember, ensuring your own safety and that of Gu Shuangshuang and the others is the top priority.”
Although that Zombie Progenitor didn’t have the means to directly Devour him, that didn’t mean she wasn’t dangerous… In fact, now that the “peaceful method” of hypnosis had failed, what she might do next was an even greater threat… She was very likely to use a series of bloody means to try to achieve her goal… And this was the typical behavior pattern of Zombies.
“Don’t worry, we won’t drag you down,” Mu Chen replied heavily.
Yuwen Xuan timely added, “Wait, I can’t guarantee that. Unless you take full account of the differences in strength when assigning people, just don’t let my squad drag you down… What are you all looking at? Yes, I’m talking about your girlfriends! I can understand you always working together, and I haven’t always been jealous or envious. But objectively speaking, we really can’t beat them! Each of them is worth three of us! No… two! So at least… put Yalin…”
“Alright, alright, I get it…” Ling Mo said, headache rising.
“…in my squad, so we can finally have a proper collaboration… Huh? You agreed?!” Yuwen Xuan kept muttering for a couple more sentences before finally reacting.
“Yes, I agreed. This enemy is very different from usual, and no one knows if we’ll suddenly fall into her trap without realizing it. So I’ll distribute the strength of the two squads evenly, and absolutely evenly…”
A few seconds later, as the two squads consciously separated, everyone’s attention involuntarily focused on Ling Mo. More precisely, on him and the huge Dark Shadow in front of him…
“This should be the first time you’ve seen him in person, but I think you’ve all felt his presence before…”
As soon as Ling Mo spoke, everyone couldn’t help but shiver. Yes… they had felt it before… It was exactly the same as what they’d experienced: a massive psychic pressure… Like standing under a giant stone that kept rising and falling-even if you were sure it wouldn’t drop, you still felt weak all over.
The feeling this spiritual body gave them was just that bad…
But…
“It’s surprisingly cool-looking!”
“Who knew, Brother-in-law, your Superpower actually had such a stylish side!”
“This… really does look awesome…”
“It just feels a bit incomplete… but that makes it even more exciting. I wonder what it’ll look like when it’s finished…”
Everyone discussed enthusiastically. Until Ye Kai snapped out of his shock and shouted excitedly, “So… this is basically a part of you, Captain! This is what they call psychic power! Captain… I’m so excited! I finally get to see your Avatar!”
“…”
In the midst of silence, Ling Mo stared at Ye Kai and shook his head, “No, you haven’t seen it… I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear anything.”
Ye Kai was confused at first, but seeing everyone’s reactions, he quickly caught on… And when Ling Mo said that, he silently turned his gaze away, nodding expressionlessly, “Agreed…”
“Alright… let me introduce it properly… It’s called Xiao Hei, an Avatar split from my psychic light cluster…”
“Captain, are you kidding me! Not only did you call it an Avatar, you even named it Xiao Hei! Isn’t that basically the same as what I just said! Turns out I didn’t say anything embarrassing at all?” Ye Kai shouted.
Ling Mo pondered for a moment, then continued, “It has a certain ability to communicate, but unfortunately, I can’t fully control what it can or can’t say, so…”
“When it doesn’t want to continue a topic, it just ignores me…” Ye Kai said helplessly.
“…I’ll have it inform its squad of everything the other squad discovers, and relay all instructions. But unless necessary, it’s best not to talk to it-it’s currently in an out-of-control state. If it leaves you with any psychological trauma, I won’t be responsible. So…” After Ling Mo finished, he looked around.
“We choose Xiao Hei!” Yuwen Xuan suddenly shouted.
Ling Mo’s expression changed instantly, and he said in a deep voice, “Can you not show your dislike for me so urgently? I still have a body compared to it!”
“Captain, these days, not having a body is a good thing…” Zhang Xincheng reminded and argued.
After all this commotion, the composition of the two squads was finally settled.
Squad One was led by Ling Mo’s main body, with Team Members Xia Na and Ye Lian. The other squad included Xiao Hei and Li Yalin, along with all the remaining Members… And the most important task of drawing the enemy’s attention would be handled by the larger Squad Two. As for Ling Mo’s group, they would act when the time was right, looking for a chance to rescue the hostages all at once…
“Do you all think that, since we have more people, our success rate will be higher? Or do you think Ling Mo is betting everything on us?” Xu Shuhan leaned against the wall and suddenly spoke softly.
Not far away, Mu Chen glanced at her in confusion, then nodded, “Any normal person would think so. Of course, I’m not afraid of dying-on the contrary, the more people we have, the longer we can hold off that Zombie Progenitor. So I have no objections to his arrangement. Actually, even Yuwen Xuan said that because he wants to take on this task. The enemy is a mental ability Zombie, so among us, only the captain can really fight her. He’ll be the key to victory… I mean, he’s always been the key, but this time he’ll be the only one…”
“As long as his actions succeed, we’ve already won more than half. Isn’t that the right way to think? Because if you agree, you wouldn’t have asked this question.” Mu Chen stared at Xu Shuhan, asking in a low voice, “So, what exactly… do you want to say?”
As the time for joint action grew longer, Mu Chen’s attitude toward Xu Shuhan had unconsciously reverted to how it was before. Even now, talking one-on-one with Xu Shuhan, he didn’t feel the slightest bit nervous… Could it be that Ling Mo had already foreseen this situation…
“Wait… I get what you mean…” Thinking back to what Ling Mo had done earlier, Mu Chen suddenly realized, “The key… is actually with them! It looks like we’re the decoy, but actually he’s the decoy… Damn, I knew this guy couldn’t be trusted! He really doesn’t play by the rules! Shit, I’m getting dizzy just thinking about it…”
“Shh… Ling Mo didn’t say it directly, so let’s just pretend we don’t know…” Xu Shuhan quickly stopped Mu Chen. Even as Mu Chen kept nodding, Xu Shuhan didn’t say that she only understood Ling Mo’s meaning after seeing him wink at her, make all kinds of expressions, and finally mouth a sentence…
“Careful… eyes above…”
