My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 623

Chapter 623 – Whack-a-Mole

Please Continue reading on ΒΟXN0VEL.ϹƟM

Mu Chen was kicking himself, cursing his own stupidity incessantly in his mind!

How could he not have anticipated this turn of events? Or was it that he had simply thought things were too straightforward…

The biggest obstacle in this affair was never just the mutual trust, but also the scheming of those around him.

Feeling betrayed and toyed with, Mu Chen was consumed with an extraordinary rage, one that even surpassed the anger of being used as a hostage and bargaining chip by Ling Mo.

If he still couldn’t figure out Xia Zhi’s plans by now, then his brain must have been infected by the virus.

Xia Zhi wanted not only to be the one who escapes but also to seize the opportunity for some extra benefits, like… removing him as an obstacle.

“Heh… I actually took it as a joke!”

If it weren’t for the excruciating pain in his stomach, Mu Chen would have punched himself hard in the head.

Knowing full well that Xia Zhi coveted his position, yet he had not taken it seriously!

But now it seemed that what was a trivial matter to him was of a completely different significance to Xia Zhi.

Thinking of the look full of scorn and triumph in Xia Zhi’s eyes just then, and that victorious gesture…

“Damn it!”

Struggling, Mu Chen made his way to the stairway, grabbing the handrail to pull himself up.

He eyed the knife and straightened up with difficulty.

Chase after Xia Zhi? It was too late; in his current state, he couldn’t possibly catch up.

So… go back and save Xu Shuhan? Mu Chen looked back toward the upper floor.

He hadn’t seen Xu Shuhan do anything, but from Xia Zhi’s remarks, he had picked up on some clues.

Clearly, Xia Zhi had not only used them but also wanted to turn them into pawns, to stall Ling Mo for a while.

Without a doubt, they couldn’t possibly hold off Ling Mo, and would ultimately be wiped out by him.

And the method that would infuriate Ling Mo, even drive him to irrationality…

“Hurting his girlfriend…” The answer, most likely, immediately came to Mu Chen’s mind, and a chill shot up from the soles of his feet.

Xia Zhi’s move was ruthless!

Knowing full well that his girlfriend was Ling Mo’s greatest vulnerability, Xia Zhi deliberately targeted this weakness and used Xu Shuhan as a pawn.

This meant certain death for Xu Shuhan, and with Mu Chen injured, survival was unlikely for him too. Only Xia Zhi would be able to escape.

The best way to stop this was to convince an enraged Ling Mo that Mu Chen was innocent…

But in such a state of anger, would Ling Mo really calm down enough to listen to such a complicated story?

It was likely that Ling Mo would silence him the moment he heard the first words, “We were indeed planning to escape.”

Another option was to rescue Xu Shuhan and use the resulting chaos to escape as best as he could.

If he were to turn tail and run first in this situation, it would be better to just kill himself outright.

“Xia Zhi!”

Mu Chen looked up towards the upper floors, grinding his teeth and growling low: “If I don’t die, you’d better be ready to be fed to the zombies!”

He then gripped the knife handle and with a loud cry, charged upstairs…

“Huff!”

Under the moonlight, a figure dashed into an alley and pressed against the wall, panting heavily.

He looked up at the small building not far away.

On the third-floor balcony, the terrifying giant zombie was still pounding on the walls, occasionally leaping around like a monkey, dodging attacks from inside.

The muffled noises coming from the building clearly indicated the chaos within.

When a man’s exaggerated shout was abruptly cut off by a scream, a smile suddenly appeared on the face of the figure who had been expressionless before.

“Thanks,” he said softly, his mouth barely opening.

After glancing at the gun in his hand, Xia Zhi looked around once more.

“If you’re going to play, play big…” he muttered to himself, “Right?”

He took one last look at the window, then quickly turned and disappeared into the alley…

…

“Ah!”

With a terrible scream, Mu Chen fell heavily to the ground, clutching his stomach.

But his eyes were fixed ahead, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg: “Why… why?”

“Sorry…” Standing before him was Xu Shuhan, who had just fiercely smashed him with the butt of a gun and was now wearing a look of apology…

Meanwhile, inside the house, the noise continued, even more intense than before…

These two dominant level Zombies were indeed very troublesome. Not only were they large, but they were also much stronger than ordinary zombies in other aspects.

However, their mutual restraint provided Ling Mo with an opportunity. Ling Mo quickly found a way to hunt them down.

“Focus on hitting one first. When that one gets hurt, the other will go crazy, and we’ll turn around to deal with the frenzied one. In short, we hit whoever goes crazy, kind of like whack-a-mole, but we can control which one pops up,” Ling Mo shouted while dodging the female giant corpse’s pursuit.

“That sounds pretty unreliable…”

“But you like it, right?” Ling Mo quickly interrupted Shana’s comment.

Shana gave a slight smile and then answered with action. She raised her scythe high and chopped towards the female giant corpse’s back: “Hello, Zombie Minnie!”

“Roar!”

Feeling the threat behind her, the female giant corpse quickly turned around and swung a palm at Shana.

But Shana, who was in mid-air, let out a chuckle and suddenly rose higher, sticking to the ceiling.

“It’s not just you two who are a couple, you know!” Ling Mo yelled, reaching out and grabbing forcefully.

The female giant corpse hadn’t stabilized yet when she was suddenly pulled hard at the feet, causing her body to tilt.

Shana immediately leaped down from the air, her scythe striking heavily on the female giant corpse’s shoulder, causing blood to splatter.

The pained female giant corpse let out a wretched scream, which immediately provoked the male giant corpse still at the window.

“Watch out! Zombie Mickey!” Ling Mo shouted a warning.

“Roar!”

The male giant corpse roared, grabbing the window frame. The sound of “crack crack” cracking was incessant, and cracks even started to appear in the wall.

He had been restricted to the outside, but now, hearing the female giant corpse being repeatedly injured inside, he finally erupted.

With his strength, pulling a little longer could indeed bring down the wall.

Upon hearing Ling Mo’s shout, several figures immediately appeared in front of the male giant corpse, capturing his attention.

Li Ya Lin’s Flowers Abundantly was extremely effective in disrupting the enemy. When the male giant corpse shifted his focus to her, Senior Sister disappeared in a flash, reappearing a few meters behind, evading the male giant corpse’s frenzied attacks.

In his anger, the male giant corpse failed to notice the dark muzzle of a gun aimed at his head.

“Pop!”

The bullet penetrated flesh, and a spray of blood burst forth. The male giant corpse’s upper body jerked backward, but before he could fall, a figure had already flashed above the window.

Li Ya Lin, hanging upside down from the window, swiftly slashed across the male giant corpse’s neck.

Amidst the gushing blood, she grabbed the male giant corpse’s hair, and with a backward somersault, slammed him heavily into the house.

With successive heavy blows, the male giant corpse’s body twitched uncontrollably, but death was just a matter of time.

As Li Ya Lin crouched down sharply, stabbing a knife into the back of the male giant corpse’s head, the female giant corpse let out an extremely mournful cry.

“Roar!”

She flipped up from the ground, tearing off her nearly severed arm that was hanging by her side and getting in the way.

Blood spurted, staining half of her body red, but this only made her eyes even redder with stimulation.

However, the frenzied female giant corpse chose not to attack them but instead rushed toward the male giant corpse’s body.

Li Ya Lin had already dodged alertly, but in her hand, she now held a piece of the Virus Nest.

Watching the female giant corpse pounce like a tank, Ling Mo was momentarily stunned.

He suddenly felt a pang of emotion, and his attack momentarily ceased. Perhaps these monsters hadn’t completely lost all their feelings…

“Roar!”

The female giant corpse grabbed the male giant corpse’s body and lifted it high into the air.

“Huh?” Ling Mo instinctively sensed something was wrong, his eyes widening as he watched the female giant corpse, “Hey, hey, hey…”

“Pop!”

The corpse’s arms were violently torn off, and then the remaining body was flung toward Ling Mo and the others.

“Damn!”
