My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 787: The Challenges of Mutation Creatures

From the results, the projection map provided by Black Silk turned out to be quite useful.

Approximately three minutes later, Ling Mo had already reached the destination and began searching the surrounding area.

In fact, it didn’t take much effort… The most conspicuous building in this area was the hospital.

“Both heavy in scent and sealed off…” Ling Mo patted his clothes and slid down from the rooftop.

As he landed, a Zombie suddenly lunged from behind, its sharp claws reaching silently for his back.

Without turning his head, Ling Mo stood straight, and a bloody hole appeared in the Zombie’s face, which then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

“Oh wow, getting more proficient with psychic power! It’s just a pity that my aim is still not quite there. I was aiming for the forehead but hit the face instead…” Black Silk’s voice chimed in.

“Less chatter,” Ling Mo replied, speechless.

With a psychic link between them, the psychic-powerful Black Silk could infer some of Ling Mo’s situations from his psychic fluctuations. For instance, his current movements or some sudden thoughts that sprang up. Even if it couldn’t sense the exact meaning, this mutation creature could make rough guesses after some thought.

In terms of analysis, this creature indeed had inherent advantages.

A vast amount of information storage, anthropomorphic thinking…

And since it unveiled illusion projection, Ling Mo found it even more extraordinary.

Developing one’s own Superpower is already difficult, let alone helping someone else develop it?

For illusion projection to succeed, it was partly based on its own abilities and partly due to a profound understanding of Ling Mo’s Superpower…

Thinking about how this guy used to stay silent, actually observing him secretly all the while, Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit creeped out.

“Where are you?” Ling Mo asked, not wanting to switch perspectives at this moment… Of course, in this unfamiliar environment, even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to determine the other party’s location.

The projection map in his mind wobbled for a moment, and then a circle quietly appeared on the other end.

“We are already here,” Black Silk explained immediately.

“Besides circles and dots, is that all you can draw?” Ling Mo wiped away some sweat.

“Don’t think updating this is easy, okay? And Xiao Bai and I are both relying on scent to tell where we are. As a human, you really have no idea what challenges we face…” Black Silk sighed, sounding remarkably human-like, then eagerly added, “Should I search the nearby area? Just to be safe…”

“Sure,” Ling Mo considered for a moment and agreed.

The hospital was just a larger target, but there should be similar locations in this area.

Searching both sides simultaneously would speed things up considerably.

It had already been almost ten minutes. If those left at the motel noticed they were missing, who knows what their reactions would be…

With this thought, Ling Mo quickly sent a message to Xia Na, asking her to cover for them for a while.

Meanwhile, he had already crossed the parking lot and entered the hospital…

“Damn, that’s a strong scent…”

As soon as he stepped in, Ling Mo covered his nose.

Squinting around, his expression quickly turned vigilant.

Such a strong smell of disinfectant meant someone had intentionally set this up recently.

The purpose was simple, just to ward off Zombies.

Even Ling Mo found the scent overwhelming. Common Zombies would indeed avoid getting too close.

The same scent would be amplified to varying degrees based on the zombies’ olfactory system and their level of evolution.

In theory, the more advanced the Zombie, the more sensitive its sense of smell would be.

However, everything has two sides. While common zombies might be less affected, their simple-minded nature would make them easily bypass this place.

On the other hand, Senior Zombies, although more heavily affected, could become curious and investigate.

Therefore, the “scent camouflage method” for Survivors is a double-edged sword. Whether it brings fortune or trouble is entirely a matter of luck.

“But using this method in a suburban area could actually be very effective. There shouldn’t be too many Senior Zombies around here, right?”

From the look of the lobby, it was hard to determine if anyone was present. Using a psychic probe recklessly risked alerting and scaring away the potential Survivors…

“Didn’t expect to run into Survivors under these circumstances…”

Ling Mo’s mood instantly became a bit anxious, but after circling around the lobby, he retreated outside.

“Strange, why take a detour…” Black Silk started muttering again.

“There’s only one staircase in the whole building. If I ran into someone, there’d be nowhere to hide,” Ling Mo explained.

“So your strategy is ‘it’s easy to dodge a spear than an arrow in the dark’?” Black Silk responded knowingly.

“That’s the idea, but can’t you describe your master in a more honorable way?” Ling Mo said as he started examining the structure of the upper floors.

“Need us to come help?” Black Silk giggled.

“No, Xiao Bai wouldn’t be able to move around freely indoors, and I can’t be sure if Xu Shuhan is even here.”

As he spoke, Ling Mo extended a psychic tentacle, hooking onto a windowsill on the second floor.

“Master, here we go!”

“Stop doing voiceovers for me! I could fall if I get distracted!”

Ling Mo had just hoisted himself up when he nearly fell back down.

He suddenly understood Yu Shiran better and felt sympathy for that zombie Loli…

In a way, Black Silk’s voiceover did hit the nail on the head.

Although Ling Mo lifted himself with a materialized psychic tentacle, the process of retracting the tentacle still required his mental control.

So while ascending or descending, Ling Mo was constantly performing a mental supplement…

This mental supplement came in two parts: first, his main body had to have the awareness of “ascending or descending”; second, his psychic power needed to simultaneously “contract or relax” the tentacle. Along with the substantial consumption of psychic power, this is why Ling Mo would avoid using this ability when possible.

Even when he did use it, the scenes running through his mind were like those of a superhero leaping through buildings…

“If the folks at Niepan knew what was going through my mind at that moment, they would probably go insane…” Ling Mo thought with a hint of amusement.

At this point, his fingers gripped the edge of the windowsill, accurately positioning himself onto the external air conditioner unit.

The moment he stepped on it, the unit made a faint “creak” and started to wobble.

“Has it loosened due to age?” Ling Mo stabilized himself with a Tentacle before quietly peeking inside the window.

Behind the window was a ward, dimly lit and filthy… However, this wasn’t Ling Mo’s concern. Once he confirmed no one was inside, he lightly jumped in.

“It’s a pity I eliminated that Zombie earlier; otherwise, using a Zombie Puppet to scout would have been useful…”

Ling Mo cautiously approached the door, thinking to himself.

“So you should just let me help…”

“Be quiet, go find a bone to chew on,” Ling Mo rolled his eyes.

“I’ve told you many times, I am no longer…”

Black Silk’s sentence was cut off as Ling Mo suddenly interrupted.

He had just grasped the doorknob and hadn’t even opened the door when a voice suddenly came from outside.

This sudden noise made Ling Mo’s nerves immediately tense up.

“Stay quiet. If it’s a mental ability superhuman, they’ll detect psychic fluctuations,” Ling Mo quickly instructed mentally.

The voice outside was kept very low, and Ling Mo could tell that the speaker was moving. Sticking close to the door, his attention was now fully focused.

The other party likely had no idea that just beyond the door, someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.

“So, what’s the plan? Weren’t we told not to intervene?” A man’s voice became clearer.

A moment later, a woman responded, slightly impatient, “I don’t care what they say. If something goes wrong, it’s not our responsibility.”

The conversation quickly moved away, leaving Ling Mo momentarily stunned.

That woman’s voice… it sounded very familiar!

“Let me think…” In recent times, Ling Mo hadn’t heard many female voices. Besides the familiar ones like Ye Lian and the others, the only ones left were from Niepan headquarters…

“Right! I remember now! I didn’t expect it to be her…”

After the noises outside had completely vanished, Ling Mo gently opened the door of the ward.

Outside was a Corridor, which was especially dark due to the lack of light.

What caught Ling Mo’s attention were the traces in the Corridor…

Blood was splattered all over the floor, and in some places, there were even pieces of flesh and internal organs.

“No wonder they used so much disinfectant…” Ling Mo couldn’t help but cover his nose again.

Such an amount of traces couldn’t have been left by just one person or one Zombie. Coupled with the voices he heard earlier…

Realizing the situation might be more complicated than he initially thought, Ling Mo calmed himself down. First, he pulled out his Tactical Knife, dipped it in some blood, and brought it up to his nose for a sniff.

“The blood should belong to either mutated or Advanced Zombies… The smell only tells me this much.”

Ling Mo held the knife in his hand and slowly walked forward.

Occasionally, he could see bloody footprints on the floor, which saved him a lot of effort.

“Boot prints, sneaker prints… Judging by the different patterns, I can preliminarily deduce there are four people. However, it doesn’t rule out the possibility that some didn’t use the second floor at all…” While analyzing, Ling Mo reached the staircase leading to the third floor.

After some thought, he decided not to use the stairs. Instead, he chose another ward, using the same method to haul himself up…

Just as he disappeared from the window, a shadow flashed across the stairs, followed by a woman’s voice: “I thought someone was following us…”

“That’s impossible…” The man’s earlier voice came from the shadows.

“Maybe I’m just being paranoid, but it’s better to be cautious,” the woman said.freeweɓnovel.cѳm
