My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 730: Investigation

There are thirteen guards just in the corridor alone, which shows how strong the defense of the Niepan headquarters is.

For anyone else, it would be nearly impossible to get inside.

Indeed, considering the defenses of Niepan headquarters, just attempting to infiltrate would be a daunting task. Ling Mo managed to get Mu Chen to act as a spy, which is the only reason they got in for the time being. Even if others had their eyes on this place, where would they find such a perfect spy? Unless they annihilate a branch first, even trying to coerce a headquarters member wouldn’t be feasible without first posing as a branch member.

Despite appearing secure, the Niepan headquarters still takes such cautious measures. Whatever their top level’s considerations may be, this level of caution shows their prudence.

This situation made Ling Mo feel challenged, but retreat was not an option.

On the contrary, the more they value it, the more Ling Mo is eager to see what’s inside. The reward must be significant to warrant such extensive protection; otherwise, it would just be a waste.

Noticing the increase in personnel, Ling Mo did not hurry. He carefully controlled the Jellyfish to wait at the same spot for quite a while. After ensuring that none of the thirteen guards sensed the presence of the Jellyfish, he swiftly moved through the corridor.

After passing the corridor, he reached a hall connected by a Y-shaped corridor to three buildings.

“Hmm… Which path to choose?” Ling Mo paused in the hall.

He first ruled out the middle path because two guards were standing there. Although he couldn’t see clearly, one of them had an exceptionally bright psychic light cluster, indicating that he was a superhuman with mental abilities.

The Jellyfish getting too close would easily be detected.

“That path has guards, so it might be where Niepan high-ups live. Or maybe the Boss is in there…” Ling Mo observed carefully for a while and felt that trying hard to bypass the superhuman with mental abilities was possible, but rather than doing that, it’d be better to check the other buildings first.

“Let’s start with the left side. If we don’t find anything, we can come back and look again.”

After Ling Mo made up his mind, he stuck to the left side of the hall and slowly approached the left corridor.

Although he wasn’t too close, Ling Mo kept a constant watch on that psychic light cluster belonging to the superhuman with mental abilities.

This Jellyfish was something he brought inside, leaving a deep impression on the guards who searched him. If discovered, Ling Mo would definitely need to think of a way to escape.

Without clearly seeing the Jellyfish’s form, the guards couldn’t imagine something so bizarre as a Jellyfish hiding around.

As the distance closed, Ling Mo’s movements became even slower.

He could sense that the psychic light cluster was moving slightly back and forth, indicating that the guard was pacing around.

“Gosh, can you stand still for a moment…”

Ling Mo needed to pass safely, so he had to time his move to the moment when he was farthest from the guard. But the guard’s constant movement, at a high frequency, made Ling Mo feel quite frustrated.

To make matters worse, the guard ended up standing on the left side!

“Well, just my luck…”

Ling Mo was speechless, but the Jellyfish, though invisible, had another sensing system for the environment.

As a human, Ling Mo wouldn’t react to these senses, but when it translated into the “psychic realm,” he could receive the same information.

“Hmm… I smell fresh grass, which means there are indoor plants here?”

It’s normal for a hall to have some plants, but considering how those plants might have mutated, you’d need a pretty weird taste to find them appealing…

“No wonder it’s the place that created Number 1 and the Canine Zombies.”

Ling Mo mused to himself while skillfully maneuvering the Jellyfish into a corner.

Using the Jellyfish’s sensing ability, Ling Mo pinpointed a plant’s location.

Instead of waiting for the guard to pace around, he thought it’d be safer to come up with another plan…

“Crack.”

“What was that sound?” Both guards stopped in their tracks.

Immediately, the brighter psychic light cluster began to fluctuate violently, and a strand of psychic power swept towards the source of the noise.

Meanwhile, a Red Glimmer flashed on the ceiling, and the Jellyfish had already bypassed the superhuman with mental abilities, darting into the left corridor.

“Got it!”

Seizing the moment when the other was distracted for a breakthrough sounded simple, but it required excellent judgment skills.

The fact that Ling Mo could extend his psychic tentacle to attack the plant was crucial for his success.

“With the Jellyfish’s help, this is indeed powerful… As long as I’m careful, finding the Experimental Group shouldn’t be too difficult. Besides, the chances of this place having a basement are low…”

The so-called Niepan headquarters is actually the main office of Niepan Human Survival Co Ltd. Although it seems formidable to the survivors, the resources available post-Cataclysm are quite limited. Ling Mo didn’t imagine the hardware facilities here to be exaggeratedly high-tech. The strength of the Niepan headquarters lies in the large number of superhumans and various experimental creatures. However, once avoiding their main force, Ling Mo’s myriad of tricks becomes something they’re hard-pressed to stop.

Ling Mo rushed into the building in one go, his lips subtly curling into a smile.

Through the Jellyfish, he sensed a faint smell of blood…

The long corridor was silent, so quiet that not even a hint of wind could be heard.

On one side of the corridor were tightly closed doors, making it impossible to tell from the outside whether anyone was inside.

The corridor’s window-side was draped in heavy black curtains.

A few rays of light seeped through the gaps in the curtains, but instead of illuminating the place, they made it feel even more eerie.

“Creak…”

Suddenly, a door opened slightly, and a woman in a white coat stepped out.

She was holding some documents and adjusted her glasses before heading towards the staircase.

However, after a few steps, her pace slowed down. A hint of confusion flickered in her eyes as she glanced around.

But as her footsteps halted, the corridor once again sank into silence, with not a single human silhouette in sight…

“Strange, I swear I felt someone watching me…”

The woman waited a few seconds, then quickened her steps with a frown. Her strides were noticeably faster this time, and she quickly disappeared at the staircase.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the dark corridor returned to silence.

“I almost thought she discovered me. Women’s intuition is really scary…” Ling Mo’s main body, inside the dormitory building, let out a sigh of relief.

This woman clearly wasn’t a superhuman with mental abilities; she might even be an ordinary person. That she could sense something at all only highlighted how strong her intuition was.

However, in such a creepy environment, heightened alertness is perfectly normal…

Ling Mo didn’t think the eerie atmosphere here was created intentionally to spook. Obviously, it was a simple yet very effective confidentiality tactic.

And what would warrant such secrecy, if not the Niepan headquarters’ Experimental Base… ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

The location of the Experimental Group!

Upon entering, the scent of blood became much stronger, and there was also a faint hint of the virus.

Meanwhile, a small red Jellyfish slowly crawled out from the shadows on the ceiling.

The Jellyfish hung upside down, utilizing the shadows to remain hidden-barely visible to the naked eye.

This dimly lit place was perfect for Ling Mo’s operations.

Swish, swish, swish…

With barely audible sounds, the Jellyfish quickly approached the place where the woman had just exited.

The Jellyfish had a physical form; it couldn’t simply slip into any random place. Moreover, the windows here were sealed shut, so even if it went around to the windows inside, it likely wouldn’t matter.

“There must be air vents…” Ling Mo carefully searched for one but found nothing.

After some thought, he split off additional tentacles, slowly probing the keyhole.

This task was challenging for Ling Mo. If his main body were here, it would be much easier. But controlling a tentacle from hundreds of meters away, relying only on the Jellyfish’s perceptive abilities to locate the position, was incredibly difficult.

It took Ling Mo at least several dozen seconds to succeed.

“I’ve got to say, this really exercises my psychic power…”

As the tentacle slipped inside, Ling Mo grew tense.

The most troublesome thing about this place was the presence of so many superhumans. One probe was enough to get him discovered.

But since someone had just exited this room, maybe no one was left inside.

This was only speculation, so Ling Mo proceeded extremely slowly.

The tentacle cautiously made its way through the keyhole, and any fluctuations in the psychic light cluster inside could be detected immediately…

There was someone in there!

Ling Mo withdrew his tentacle, inhaling sharply.

He waited for several seconds. Seeing no unusual reaction from inside, Ling Mo slowly reinserted the tentacle.
