My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 1280: A Choice Between Life and Death

As soon as Ling Mo finished speaking, Fang Zhou suddenly looked up, staring at him in shock: “What did you say?”

“Heh…” Ling Mo chuckled, straightened up, and said, “Of course, things aren’t as simple as I just made them sound… What follows is what I need you to do… You can also understand it this way: if you manage to do all of it, you’ll have a chance to survive, maybe…”

“Maybe? Then what if… I can’t do it all… or your plan fails…” Fang Zhou moved his lips and asked.

“Then you die.” Ling Mo replied, “You should know very well that between me and Wang, one of us will die. And you, you’re stuck in the middle. People like you can only survive by proving your value to one side, isn’t that right?” 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

“I understand…” Fang Zhou nodded muttering, then suddenly asked, “After you let me go… how will you make sure I won’t betray you?”

After asking, his face flushed red, but his gaze did not waver.

Ling Mo immediately laughed: “You’re pretty straightforward… But you’re not wrong to think about it. If I let you go, I definitely have a way to kill you. If… you’re not afraid of dying, you can try it. You’ll find out then…”

Fang Zhou stared silently at Ling Mo, trying to read something from his expression… But to his disappointment, not only did Ling Mo’s expression not change, even his eyes remained the same. If he wasn’t an amazing actor, then he was truly confident.

“It’s really hard to believe… that you’re actually a Survivor who’s been active outside for a long time… It seems that those who can survive surrounded by countless Zombies are indeed stronger than us who just fight among humans…” Fang Zhou finally shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

Ling Mo just laughed and said nothing. Whether this man was truly sighing, or just trying to flatter or probe him, he wasn’t interested. But judging from Fang Zhou’s demeanor, he had clearly agreed.

And when Ling Mo spoke again, he suddenly swept away the previous gloomy tone and, under Fang Zhou’s astonished gaze, laughed heartily: “Since we’ve happily reached an agreement… then before you act, let me give you a makeover…”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves…

In the early hours of the next day, before dawn…

At the seemingly dead-silent school gate, a figure suddenly appeared.

This figure was covered in wounds, his clothes almost entirely stained red with blood, and he staggered as he walked. Besides that, half his face was completely swollen, his eyes narrowed to a slit, and his nose was covered in blood… This figure wobbled down the center of the road to the main gate, then stopped and raised both hands high. Barely a minute later, as if receiving some response, he walked into the already open gate in silence.

Not until this figure entered the Teaching Building did another figure finally appear before him…

A Black Man stood in the corner at the stairway landing, looking down at him. The only exposed eyes showed a complicated, incredulous look: “Why are you back? Fang Zhou… Captain Fang… And you look… a bit too miserable, don’t you…”

The figure at the bottom of the stairs slowly raised his head, pulled at his torn lips, wiped the blood scab under his nose, and then rasped: “Take me… to see the Boss.”

The Black Man stared at him for a while, then waved, “Come with me.”

After the Black Man turned and went upstairs, Fang Zhou grabbed the handrail. As he painfully lifted his legs, he muttered in his heart: “Makeover, he said… happily agreed, he said… In the end, he just beat me up hard! And called it necessary… Necessary my ass! Does he think I don’t know he just took the chance to vent his anger?!”

A trace of anger appeared on Fang Zhou’s face, but as soon as his muscles moved, he couldn’t help but let out a groan of pain.

The Black Man in front heard the sound and glanced back at him, but said nothing. Fang Zhou, noticing this, just glared coldly back.

“What are you looking at! Damn!”

Two minutes later, Fang Zhou appeared at the door of the room Ling Mo had once infiltrated with a Zombie Puppet.

The moment he was brought in, he suddenly took a deep breath, and the expression on the remaining half of his face instantly turned gloomy.

From now on… the game Ling Mo had forcibly arranged for him was about to begin…

He glanced at the surrounding Falcon Members, then looked back at the sky outside that was still dark… Could Ling Mo really kill him at any moment under these circumstances?

But for some reason, even though he knew Ling Mo couldn’t be lurking nearby, his intuition told him that there really was a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, coldly watching him…

How should he choose? Once he entered, this choice could not be changed…

At this last moment, Fang Zhou thought again of the look Ling Mo had given him then…

Calm, even with a hint of mocking amusement…

“Ha…”

Fang Zhou suddenly closed his eyes, then opened them again, and at that moment, a voice came from the Inner Room: “Come in.”

At the first sight of the woman sitting inside, Fang Zhou frowned and asked: “Assistant… why is it you? Where’s the Chief of Staff?”

The woman didn’t answer immediately, but pointed to a chair not far away: “Captain Fang, in your current state, you’d better sit down first. Or perhaps, I should call you… Mr. Fang now? After the operation failed, the whole team was wiped out, and you disappeared, now you suddenly show up here… Anyway, your position as captain has definitely been stripped.”

“Hmph…” Fang Zhou was not polite either. He pulled the chair over and sat down, then said, “Assistant, I want to talk to the Chief of Staff.”

“Just call me Ah Lan…” The woman still showed no change in expression, her tone very calm. She continued, “Before you talk to the Chief of Staff… at least let me know first, are you… friend or foe?”

The atmosphere instantly froze… Fang Zhou shot her a cold look, then suddenly pulled out a slip of paper, tossed it on the table, and said: “Take a look at this.”

Ah Lan was stunned at first, then picked up the slip. Glancing at it in the moonlight, she immediately showed a trace of surprise. Then she looked up at Fang Zhou with a complicated gaze, and after a moment of silence asked: “You were… rescued…”

Fang Zhou leaned back in his chair, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said: “If you have to put it that way… I was more like abandoned. Ling Mo said you’d be very surprised to see me…”

The woman’s pupils contracted… After pondering for two seconds, she put down the slip and said: “About that, he really wasn’t wrong… I didn’t expect you to come back in this state, at this time. This slip was written by a Survivor who negotiated with us. It says he completed both conditions we set at once.”

“The first condition was reconnaissance. Nothing proves his initiative more than bringing someone back directly. The second was the Intelligence Chen Wen brought back. Fang Zhou, according to the Intelligence, that information is on you now, right?” the woman asked.

Fang Zhou nodded: “That’s right. But unless I see Chief of Staff Wang, I won’t hand it over.”

“Is that so…” The woman stared at him…

With so many gunslingers outside, Fang Zhou could still maintain this attitude, so he clearly had something to rely on. What he relied on was what was in his head…

Chief of Staff Wang’s condition was for the ‘Survivor’ to gather Intelligence, but he brought someone back directly. In essence, nothing is more convenient than capturing someone. Yet this person happened to be Fang Zhou, who was most familiar with their operations…

On the other hand, they were also very familiar with Fang Zhou. For example, Ah Lan knew very well that interrogation at this point would be absolutely useless…
