My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 520

Chapter 793 – I’ve Become a Glutton

Although Wang Lin’s tone was somewhat stiff, after she finished speaking, she couldn’t help but glance at Ling Mo with a hint of guilt.

 

It had been half a year since they last met, and Ling Mo’s appearance hadn’t changed much. His hair had only grown a bit longer, and his figure had become slightly more robust.

 

What was strange, however, was that although his image hadn’t changed much, he somehow gave off a different vibe…

 

She hadn’t noticed it earlier, but taking a closer look now, Wang Lin immediately sensed the difference…

 

“How should I put it? He used to always seem burdened, but now he looks a lot more relaxed… Even his eyes are brighter… Just by looking at his appearance, he doesn’t seem threatening at all…”

 

As soon as Wang Lin thought this, she suddenly let out a cold chuckle in her mind, and then she erupted in an outburst: “But… it’s all an illusion! He’s definitely more detestable now! Finally reunited with your long-lost sister-in-law and not even shedding a tear of joy is one thing, but that ‘Oh, you’re still alive?’ look on your face, I could tolerate that. But the first thing you did was throw me to the ground!”

 

“Setting aside the family ties, even if we were just acquaintances, meeting again and still being alive in this world is a rare and precious chance, you jerk!”

 

“A beast in human form! Insane! A wolf in sheep’s clothing!…”

 

“…”

 

“Huff…”

 

Throughout this process, Wang Lin’s expression shifted from apprehensive to calm, then as if she were angry, her face flushed red. She pursed her lips, gritting her teeth, and finally let out a sigh of relief… All this time, she hadn’t made a sound…

 

Ling Mo looked at her in puzzlement and asked, “Are you still feeling dizzy?”

 

“Huh?” Wang Lin immediately snapped back to reality.

 

“I mean your head…” Ling Mo clarified.

 

Wang Lin quickly waved her hand and replied, “It’s alright! Almost back to normal! But… aren’t you angry?” She shrank her neck slightly, looking at Ling Mo in surprise, with one hand instinctively shielding herself.

 

Wang Lin still remembered clearly how Ling Mo had treated her in the past…

 

“I noticed you looked really tense…” Wang Lin added softly.

 

“Of course, I was tense. Couldn’t just leave you lying there.” Ling Mo chuckled, then suddenly asked, “What, are you jealous on your sister’s behalf?”

 

Ling Mo could see through Wang Lin’s little thoughts at a glance…

 

However, when he asked this, Wang Lin’s expression immediately became a bit uneasy. She muttered, “Who’s being jealous for her?” After a pause, she asked again with a face full of displeasure, “So… how’s she doing now?”

 

“She’s doing well.” Ling Mo replied.

 

“Oh…”

 

…

 

Wang Lin stared expectantly for a while, but nothing more was said.

 

She bit her lip and finally asked awkwardly, “That’s… it?”

 

“Yes.” Ling Mo nodded.

 

“…”

 

You’re doing this on purpose! Definitely on purpose!

 

Wang Lin was instantly a bit frantic.

 

It had been half a year, and she missed Xia Na for sure.

 

Ling Mo’s simple answer, paired with his meaningful expression, clearly hinted at something.

 

But she couldn’t muster the courage to lower her pride and ask further details…

 

After a moment of internal struggle, Wang Lin turned her head away. With a cold snort, she said, “Fine, don’t tell me!”

 

“Pride and self-inflicted suffering…” Ling Mo sighed.

 

“Say what you will… Aren’t you even curious about me? We’re family, after all. Don’t be too excessive!” Wang Lin rolled her eyes.

 

To her surprise, Ling Mo’s expression suddenly became serious, and in a grave tone, he said, “There are too many questions to ask. Let’s discuss them later.” He then turned his gaze towards the one with dark circles and said, “I’ll go get the others first.”

 

“You guys catch up. I’m all ears.” The one with dark circles was watching with keen interest and replied.

 

“We’ve got plenty of time. We’ll have a good talk later.” Ling Mo said.

 

“True. You go ahead; I’ll clear the way here.” The one with dark circles nodded.

 

“One more thing… Stop wasting your psychic power.” Ling Mo added before leaving.

 

The one with dark circles froze for a moment, then silently lowered his head and took a deep drag…

 

As soon as he dispelled the illusion, he did exaggerate the scene a bit, hoping to cause Ling Mo some trouble… Although his attempt failed, fortunately, Ling Mo didn’t make a big deal out of it or hold any grudges… Now that Ling Mo suddenly gave him a reminder, it was clear he wasn’t dwelling on the matter but was honestly giving a friendly warning…

 

But why did that make it feel even more frustrating?

 

When someone goes through effort, you should at least respond!

 

Follow his advice? That would mean admitting his own failure. But if he didn’t follow it, wouldn’t that be asking for humiliation?

 

It was a dilemma…

 

After Ling Mo’s figure disappeared into the distance, the one with dark circles muttered in a muffled voice, “Is he really your brother-in-law?”

 

Wang Lin was still pondering the meaning behind Ling Mo’s previous words and absentmindedly replied, “Of course…”

 

“He doesn’t match your description at all…” The one with dark circles mumbled, “Leaving aside the shameless and ruthless part, at least in terms of strength, you definitely didn’t tell the truth. He’s nowhere near easy to crush; he’s on par with me! And you said you’d beat him up to settle the score, but he tossed you into the dirt before you even got a clear look at him…”

 

“Do you have a death wish?”

 

…

 

After re-entering the illusion, Ling Mo immediately released his psychic tentacle.

 

He had already been locking onto Xu Shuhan, and now, confirming her location, he began to move closer.

 

The illusion also started to slowly collapse, and the further he went, the more it felt like walking through a trembling ruin.

 

The commotion this time was indeed much smaller, but watching everything around him suddenly shatter in silence was still a staggering visual impact.

 

This level of disruption was nothing to Ling Mo, but for Xu Shuhan, deeply caught in the illusion, it must have been a nightmare…

 

However, as her five senses gradually broke free from the illusion’s influence, Xu Shuhan’s psychic fluctuation began to stabilize bit by bit.

 

“Just underwent mutation and now facing psychic trauma, who knows if it’s a blessing or a curse…”

 

With this thought, Ling Mo stopped in front of a door.

 

Creak-

 

As soon as he pushed the door open, a dark shadow leapt towards him.

 

“Wait-“

 

“Bang!”

 

Xu Shuhan’s speed was indeed terrifying. Before Ling Mo could even finish his word, he was slammed solidly into the doorframe.

 

“So fast!”

 

Ling Mo felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had been hit by a high-speed train and crushed against the wall.

 

Though Xu Shuhan was incredibly fast, her strength was limited. This pounce wasn’t meant to take a bite out of him.

 

“Ling Mo…”

 

Host Xu lifted her head cautiously, close to tears, and said, “Help me…”

 

…

 

After a minute, Xu Shuhan finally calmed down under Ling Mo’s soothing words.

 

But before they could exchange more than a few words, she suddenly stared blankly at Ling Mo.

 

Before Ling Mo could ask, this newly-transformed zombie impatiently grabbed his sleeve and mumbled, “Food, give me food!”

 

“Stop touching me…” Ling Mo said.

 

After swallowing the virus gel, Xu Shuhan contentedly hugged her stomach and slid down the wall to squat on the floor.

 

“Ah… feels so good.”

 

Ling Mo watched her for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “That’s it?”

 

“What?” Xu Shuhan looked up, puzzled.

 

“Don’t you feel any abnormalities in your body?” Ling Mo’s brow furrowed.

 

Based on his “feeding” experiences, when common zombies devour virus gel, they usually exhibit fever and frenzy due to the massive absorption of the virus.

 

Xu Shuhan’s remarkably calm demeanor struck Ling Mo as abnormal.

 

“Really?”

 

Xu Shuhan concentrated, trying to sense any changes, then her expression suddenly sank.

 

“What is it?” Ling Mo asked quickly.

 

“Now that you mention it… I feel like I’ve lost something really important…” Xu Shuhan murmured.

 

Seeing her expression, Ling Mo somewhat understood. He sighed, reached out, and patted her shoulder. “You’ll get used to it…”

 

“Easier said than done…” Xu Shuhan sat on the floor, wrapping her arms around her knees and resting her head on them. “I can’t turn back into a human, and now I’m just a glutton…”
