My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1146: Its Target Is Me!

Her mind blank, Xu Shuhan suddenly felt a force at her waist, and the next moment, she was uncontrollably pulled backward. Almost at the instant she retreated, that cold gleam was already right in front of her.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, Xu Shuhan was abruptly thrown into someone’s embrace, and at the same time, a muffled groan came from above her head.

“Ah! Are you okay?” Xu Shuhan snapped back to herself, hurriedly straightened up, and turned to ask.

Ling Mo, his face somewhat pale, glanced at her and shook his head, saying, “What about you?”

“I…” Xu Shuhan looked down and immediately saw several torn slashes on her clothes, but fortunately, none of the attacks had landed directly on her body.

Xu Shuhan replied with lingering fear, “I’m fine… Thank you.”

“Be careful, the opponent is very strong,” Ling Mo said in a deep voice.

At this moment, everyone had already taken cover behind the truck tires. Xia Na, listening alertly to the sounds, asked, “Ling-Ge, just now… did you see clearly? Was it a knife?”

“No…” Ling Mo’s expression showed a hint of uncertainty. “I don’t know what it was, but I’m sure it definitely wasn’t a knife… I caught it, but that cold gleam didn’t stay-it retreated immediately. That’s not something a knife would do, right?”

“To show such speed, and even make Ling-Ge feel the strength… could it be a Superpower? Or… is it a Senior Zombie’s ability?” Xia Na frowned and whispered.

Xu Shuhan said grimly, “The enemy is in the dark and has such means. But we don’t even know what species he is, this…”

“At least two things are certain. First, there really are other living beings here. Second, whatever they are, they’re not friendly,” Ling Mo said coldly, while also communicating in his mind, “Black Silk, be careful, there are enemies here.”

“Black Silk?” Ling Mo waited two seconds, but got no reply. He called out twice more, then finally lifted his eyelids to look at Xia Na and the others, saying in a muffled voice, “The Black Silk Team was attacked too.”

“Something happened?” Li Yalin immediately widened her eyes and asked.

Ling Mo raised his hand to press his Temple, and after a moment of silence, replied, “They should be fine, I can sense them. But the area they’re in seems to be sealed off.”

“Maybe… we’re the ones sealed off,” Ye Lian suddenly spoke.

Her sudden words made everyone freeze for a moment, but just as Ling Mo showed a hint of surprise, a sharp sound suddenly rang out from between the vehicles.

But what shocked everyone was that the sound couldn’t be pinpointed to any direction. It was as if it was everywhere, charging at every person present.

“Scatter!” Ling Mo had just shouted when the sharp sound was already upon them.

At that moment, Ling Mo suddenly felt an extremely panicked sensation. It was so intense that he instantly had the urge to go into a Frenzy.

At the same time, the rest of the sharp sounds suddenly disappeared, as if in the blink of an eye, they merged into one.

“Its target… is me!” Ling Mo realized instantly.

Clang!

Ling Mo almost instinctively lunged forward, and a Dark Shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

A cold gleam sliced through the tire and shot out, colliding with the Dark Shadow.

Where the two energies met, an invisible Flame burst forth, and the next moment, the Dark Shadow wavered, like the image on an old TV about to lose signal.

“Ah…”

Ling Mo grunted as he landed, swinging his arm in a reverse motion.

The nearly collapsing Dark Shadow instantly swelled again, and the Tentacle between his fingers whipped violently.

The cold gleam vanished once more…

“This thing really holds a grudge,” Ling Mo quickly pressed himself behind another car, then looked in shock at the tire that had been sliced open…

Even though the tire was already flat, these big truck tires were incredibly tough and resilient… While Ling Mo could pierce it with his psychic tentacle, maintaining that speed and strength after piercing it would be very difficult…

But that cold gleam not only maintained such attack power, it also had a strong ambush capability…

The others also dodged to the sides, their expressions now somewhat grim.

If they could have identified who the cold gleam was targeting, they wouldn’t have been unable to help Ling Mo.

Luckily, Ling Mo’s psychic reaction was fast enough; otherwise, it would have been hard to say if he could escape unscathed.

But in this situation, they couldn’t stay together any longer, or it would be even harder to respond.

“The cold gleam only locks onto its target in the instant before attacking. That means, whether it’s the Ambusher or anyone else, there’s less than a tenth of a second to react,” Ling Mo thought to himself.

The changes came too fast-from losing contact with Black Silk, to the enemy’s upgraded ambush tactics. The most noteworthy thing in all this was what Ye Lian had just said-that maybe they were the ones being sealed off.

Ling Mo warily looked toward the direction the ambush had come from, but saw nothing unusual. The blazing sun was still overhead, the vehicles looked normal, and ahead was the Dormitory Building…

“Wait… we can’t hear any sounds from the Black Silk Team! If they were ambushed, there would definitely be some noise! Even if I couldn’t hear it, Xia Na and the others would. But they’ve said nothing, which already tells us the answer.”

Ling Mo immediately understood… If the enemy really could seal them off, there must be some way to affect their five senses… It could be psychic power, or scent, or something else. But with the enemy’s unpredictable ambushes, they couldn’t verify each possibility.

The ones truly isolated were, indeed, them.

And this seemingly normal scene might not even be the reality they’re actually experiencing…

“At least these vehicles are real, and the basic environment is real,” Xia Na also noticed the problem. “The enemy wouldn’t waste energy changing these things, and we only realized something was wrong just now. So everything we saw before this was real.”

“That’s right, you’re correct,” Ling Mo nodded, then glanced at Ye Lian.

But Ye Lian had returned to her previous state, sitting with her head down, hugging her knees in a daze, as if she hadn’t been the one to say that sentence. Also, one of her shoulders was being held by Li Yalin, so it seemed that when the ambush happened, Senior Sister had pulled her aside to dodge together.

But the fact that Ye Lian could say that sentence meant… she was still partially lucid…
