My Girlfriend is a Zombie Chapter 733: God-like Teammates

Chapter 733: G.o.d-like Teammates

Ling Mo was excited!

There was no need to doubt the authenticity of this special decoy. The only two points to consider were how many times it could be used and how large an area it could cover.

If possible, Ling Mo also wanted to get his hands on the method of making this decoy. Understanding the principles wasn’t necessary; as long as he could follow the steps to create it…

Snap!

A moment of distraction, and the task list was instantly out of the tentacle’s control.

The lab technician was originally focused on her microscope, occasionally taking notes. Hearing the light noise, she looked up in surprise.

She glanced around and quickly turned her attention to the tray.

Ling Mo, using the perspective of a zombie puppet, calmly watched her approach while controlling the jellyfish to gradually retract into the shadows.

He wasn’t actually worried about her discovering anything. Even if these reports got slightly shuffled, unless she had a photographic memory, she wouldn’t realize that someone had browsed through them right under her nose. Without a frame of reference, it would remain an unknown domain, a blank s.p.a.ce. Without understanding Ling Mo’s methods or having experienced similar situations, she would fall into a cognitive blind spot, unable to even conceive of it…

It’s like controlling zombies. Generally, people’s concept of zombies is insanity, brutality, and mortal enemies of humans. With this ingrained impression, it’s hard to believe that zombies could coexist with humans. This breaks the inertia of thought. Even though Xu Shuhan knew Ye Lian and the others’ ident.i.ties, since there were no signs of them being controlled, she didn’t think in that direction.

Of course, her misunderstanding also involved her perception of Ling Mo: a mental ability superhuman.

The broad concept was correct, but if you dissected it, Ling Mo was actually a control-type…

So, even if she had gathered a lot of clues and information, if her initial thinking was flawed, her conclusions would be wildly off. This psychological element was something Ling Mo often exploited. At this moment, he was able to mess around right under the female lab a.s.sistant’s nose because of this.

The female lab a.s.sistant stopped in front of the tray and picked up the top report, her brow furrowed.

It was clear from her expression that she was slightly puzzled.

“What’s going on today?” she muttered to herself. The door was ajar, a folder had suddenly fallen off the shelf, and now there was this sudden sound near the tray. She didn’t think anyone had tampered with anything, but this noise was too suspicious… The female lab a.s.sistant s.h.i.+fted her gaze and looked around before reaching under the table and gently pulling open a drawer. A flash of cold light, and a pair of scissors appeared in her hand.

Seeing her cautious manner, Ling Mo was somewhat surprised.

As expected from someone at Niepan’s headquarters, her level of vigilance was far beyond his expectations…

But not knowing about this control method, being this cautious was futile. She had no idea that the person behind these tricks was openly watching her…

“Well? Quite persistent, aren’t you…”

Ling Mo thought for a moment and then s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the back of the female lab a.s.sistant.

Click!

The room suddenly darkened, and with the only light source gone, the room with its heavy curtains became pitch black.

However, hiding inside the zombie puppet’s brain, Ling Mo could see everything clearly through its eyes. While the female lab a.s.sistant nervously backed into a corner, Ling Mo used the tentacle and the zombies’ eyes to start searching the cabinet. His method of searching was to pull out the folders one by one, and then have the zombie puppet check the t.i.tles.

Fortunately, Niepan organized their files very strictly. Each folder was clearly marked, making it easy to see the general contents at a glance.

“First time I feel like giving Niepan’s rigidity a thumbs up, no, thirty-two thumbs up…”

Ling Mo quickly scanned the files while keeping an eye on the terrified female lab a.s.sistant.

But this one really lived up to being a violent lab a.s.sistant who could use chainsaws and axes. Although she was extremely nervous, she gripped the scissors and quietly moved towards the location of the desk lamp, hugging the wall.

And during this process, she managed to make no sound at all.

“If it were Xu Shuhan, she’d probably be huddling in the corner, screaming at the top of her lungs…” Ling Mo thought maliciously.

Estimating that the female lab a.s.sistant’s eyes were getting used to the dark, Ling Mo used the tentacle to click off the lights again.

The female lab a.s.sistant’s hand had just reached the desk lamp when, before she could even switch it on, the light suddenly came on by itself.

Startled and momentarily blinded, she instinctively stepped back, “thud,” and b.u.mped into the table behind her. Ling Mo decisively turned off the light again.

Taking advantage of this brief distraction, Ling Mo swiftly pulled out the remaining folders and scanned through them.

“Gasp… gasp…”

The female lab a.s.sistant was clearly frightened. All she could see now were a few pairs of glowing red eyes staring at her.

However, she quickly calmed down and reached for the desk lamp once more.

Click…

The light came back on, and the entire laboratory was eerily quiet…

“Uh…”

She was dumbfounded. Looking around, she saw that the windows and the door were still securely shut.

“Is it a loose connection?” she finally directed her gaze towards the desk lamp.

At that moment, a sudden “thud” sound echoed, startling her once again reflexively.

She quickly turned around, looking fearfully towards the cages.

A rather pitiful-looking zombie was staring at her, its head pressed against the cage bars.

“Phew…” The female lab a.s.sistant let out a sigh of relief and then frowned.

Why did this monster suddenly scare her like that…

However, she didn’t notice that behind her, the door had quietly and silently cracked open again…

“Just one laboratory, and I’ve reaped such rewards!” In the dormitory building, Ling Mo wiped the sweat off his forehead, an excited expression on his face.

Although he didn’t find any detailed information regarding the special decoy in the remaining folders, just learning about its existence was already valuable information for Ling Mo.

“Niepan headquarters was indeed the right place to come to. Now, if only I could find out where the progenitor is, and the lab technician who wrote those notes…”

After all, it was an entire building, and Ling Mo didn’t expect to gather everything within an hour. But over the next few days, he was determined to turn the experimental group inside out.

The experimental subjects captured by the experimental group were, for Ling Mo, the best “spies,” giving him the confidence to infiltrate!

Because if the experimental group had plenty of anything, it was zombies…

“…Ling-Ge.” Mu Chen’s voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Ling Mo, having expended a lot of energy and needing a break, got up and opened the door.

“I wanted to ask… Hey, you don’t look so good,” Mu Chen, who had initially donned a look of impatience, was stunned upon seeing Ling Mo.

He had been worried that Ling Mo wouldn’t be able to manage it and was considering suggesting that Ling Mo just give up and join him outside. But instead, this was the result he saw. He was very familiar with this expression on Ling Mo. After using his psychic power, Ling Mo always looked like this. However, the excited glint in his eyes was a bit different from usual. Normally, when he looked this exhausted, his eyes would be bloodshot, like he had stayed up all night.

“Get to the point,” Ling Mo said, rubbing his temple and leaning against the door.

Mu Chen swallowed and blinked, asking, “You…you didn’t… already start, did you?”

It was a pretty dumb question. There was no way Ling Mo would look like this from some silly and persistent trial. Mu Chen knew Ling Mo well enough to know that. But despite knowing the answer, he couldn’t help but ask. He just couldn’t convince himself to believe it that easily…

“Yes,” Ling Mo nodded.

“…!” Mu Chen stared wide-eyed at Ling Mo. Such a difficult feat achieved without stepping out of the room, and this guy still had the gall to put on a nonchalant face! What was with that tone? Couldn’t he at least be a bit humble for once?

“You’re such a freak…” Mu Chen continued to stare at Ling Mo.

He suddenly felt that his lookout duties were pointless. He had expected Ling Mo to be bouncing off the walls in the next room…

What was he supposed to keep an eye out for when things were this quiet? Was his only value to serve as a decoy?

Mu Chen felt a wave of speechlessness. It wasn’t that he was useless-it was just that he had a G.o.d-like teammate.

But to him, it felt more like a curse!

“Aren’t you heading back?” Ling Mo said sympathetically, “There’s a good chance they’ll call you back for a second round of questioning. And if the Niepan higher-ups are twisted enough, they might grill you three or four more times. The more times you repeat your story, the more they can verify the authenticity of the details, especially when you’re extremely fatigued.”

“Hey! We’re in the same boat. Can’t you at least not sound so gleeful about it?” Mu Chen retorted angrily, “Anyway, all the details I provided are true.”

That last statement was a bit of an exaggeration. What he said was “basically true”-even a mental ability superhuman performing a lie-detection probe would find it challenging to catch any discrepancies. Any minor inconsistencies wouldn’t be a big deal. They had thoroughly discussed what to say and what not to say on their way to Heishui.

Even if the Niepan headquarters had some doubts, they wouldn’t be able to confirm anything until they reached Dongming. That’s why they were so confident.

“Oh, right. Can you tell me… how did you do it?” Mu Chen quickly remembered the question that had been nagging at him and brought it up again, not letting Ling Mo divert him this time.

“No,” Ling Mo answered immediately.

“Come on, at least think about it. We’re in this together…”

“Bang!”

As the door closed with a thud, Mu Chen’s face was filled with frustration.

“d.a.m.n it!” he cursed under his breath, then left reluctantly.

Still, as he turned away, he couldn’t help but think that Ling Mo was truly impressive…

Initially, he hadn’t been very optimistic about this operation. But now, he suddenly felt that maybe, just maybe, they could really pull it off…

“Zombies… can they really retain their humanity? If so, they shouldn’t be called zombies anymore, right? What should they be called then…”
