My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1143: Bring Out the Spirit of a Thief!

Hoo…

The sunlight remained scorching, and the wind swept in from the wilderness, carrying a faint, fishy odor that rushed toward the empty gate.

The two Iron Doors had completely rusted away, with the iron sheets peeling off to reveal patches of dark red, which from a distance looked like large bloodstains. Whenever the wind passed, the Iron Doors would sway gently, emitting a tooth-aching “creak.”

As this faint sound continued, suddenly, a figure pressed against the wall appeared beside the gate. Her movements were silent, and watching her actions was like watching a shadow move.

“Ling Mo, I’m in position,” Li Yalin said in her mind.

Not far away in the wilderness, Ling Mo immediately nodded. In the blink of an eye, his vision had already switched to Li Yalin, and the wild grass blocking his view instantly transformed into a different scene.

Through the open gate, Li Yalin could see quite a bit: the empty ground behind the gate, the two buildings not far away, and the corner of a warehouse.

On the open ground, many trucks and a few sedans were parked, but without exception, all these vehicles were completely scrapped. Dust had settled on them layer after layer, even covering their original colors.

“Alright, no Zombies found here…” Ling Mo continued to look into the distance… Actually, it was Li Yalin looking, but since there was a psychic link between them, even if it wasn’t exactly like his own body, there was still a bit of tacit understanding.

Looking at the two buildings up close, aside from feeling even more desolate, there was nothing else to discover. But staring at those two pitch-black stairwells, Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel a chill. Just as he had said before: the calmer things appeared on the surface, the more dangerous this place felt. Especially after they discovered that puddle…

“Xiao Bai is already guarding the back door. Since there’s no problem, let’s go in,” Ling Mo quickly calmed down, withdrew his vision, and spoke.

At this moment, in his Sensing, Black Silk and the others had already reached the back of the office building and were preparing to climb over the wall.

“So do we need to find a way to sneak in too?” Xu Shuhan came over from behind and asked.

Xia Na turned her head to glance at her, shook her head, and explained, “No, we’ll go in through the main entrance. And we have to act very cautiously.”

“What’s the point?” Xu Shuhan was puzzled.

“First, it’s to attract the attention of the people or Zombies inside and cover Black Silk Team’s infiltration. Second, it’s to conceal the first purpose, so they focus more on us,” Ling Mo took over.

Xu Shuhan thought for a moment, frowned, and said, “I still don’t really get it. If it’s Zombies, they could discover Black Silk Team just by smell. If it’s Survivors, as long as there’s a mental ability user or a mutation system superhuman like Skinny Monkey, they could also detect Black Silk Team.”

“Correct. Third, we’re doing this to verify those guesses,” Xia Na snapped her fingers seriously. “Our current actions are based on the premise that ‘there’s something inside,’ but we’re in the open and they’re in the dark, and we have too little information. So Ling-Ge came up with this method. It looks simple, but it’s effective.”

Xu Shuhan pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood… That’s true!

Ling Mo looked ahead again, then raised a hand and said, “Alright, it’s about time. Let’s go.”

Xia Na immediately pulled Ye Lian and darted out, and Ye Lian, dragged along, seemed to have no autonomous reaction at all.

Ling Mo was about to follow when his sleeve was suddenly grabbed by Xu Shuhan. The woman had just come to her senses, staring incredulously at Xia Na’s back and asked, “Did I see wrong, or did she just act really serious? I mean really serious, not the kind she used to imitate for sarcasm.”

“Well… she was genuinely serious just now,” Ling Mo thought for a moment and replied. He roughly understood Xu Shuhan’s reaction; in fact, he occasionally felt the same way… ever since Xia Na broke through.

Xu Shuhan’s eyes remained wide. She opened her mouth several times before finally squeezing out a sentence: “Just now… she seemed human.”

“Mm… indeed,” Ling Mo couldn’t help but show a hint of thoughtful relief, but he quickly recovered and added lightly, “But that’s just a rare occurrence, no need to be so shocked.”

“Ah? Oh…” Xu Shuhan calmed down a lot after hearing that, but after thinking about it, she was surprised again, “But how did she suddenly… By the way, they’ve all evolved, right? Honestly, I can’t Sense things that precisely… Hey, you’re just leaving like that!”

…

“Ready?”

Behind the granary wall, Black Silk stood with her hands on her hips, looking up at several grown men.

“…”

In the silence, Black Silk raised her eyebrow: “Give me some response!”

“Yes!”

“Ready to move at any time!”

Black Silk nodded in satisfaction, then reached out and waved toward the distance.

As everyone’s gaze turned, a clump of wild grass shook twice, and then an eleven or twelve-year-old girl crawled out. She kept her head down, scanning the group warily, then, under their speechless stares, suddenly darted forward, bypassed them, and appeared behind Black Silk.

Obviously, Black Silk’s petite figure couldn’t block her. But she still stood there firmly, then secretly glanced at everyone with a complicated look.

“Sweating…” everyone thought.

Ever since Black Silk stopped controlling Yu Shiran, her Zombie nature had gradually returned. When Ling Mo was around, her attention was on him. When Xia Na and the others were present, she could stay calm. But now that the surrounding Creatures had suddenly become mostly human, she started to feel uneasy…

After three minutes of accumulating this uneasiness, it decisively turned into what it was now…

“Whatever, if she’s like this, it means my consciousness is still influencing her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be hiding from these people, but trying to attack them,” Black Silk thought, then simply ignored the weird and awkward scene, turned to Yu Shiran and said, “You go first, we’ll follow. Remember, everyone has to be sneaky, don’t get discovered. Got it?”

“Understood…” Mu Chen said with a bitter face, “Isn’t it just asking us to bring out the spirit of a thief?”

“That’s right! No wonder you’re the instructor, your comprehension is excellent,” Black Silk praised.

Seeing the strange looks from everyone, Mu Chen’s mouth twitched…

“Forget it, just childish words… childish words…” Mu Chen thought, wanting to cry but having no tears.
