“Hm?” The Female Zombie froze for a mont, then her smile grew even brighter. “Humans really do react much faster than my dull-witted kind… It’s truly enjoyable talking to you. From the mind, to the body…” As she spoke, she took a deep breath, then stared at Ling Mo with ill intent, licking her lips.
“Ding!”
A cold gleam suddenly appeared at her neck, the tip of the blade piercing into the wall without hesitation.
Xia Na said coldly, “Watch your words and behavior…”
“Swish!”
She abruptly pulled out her Scythe and finished the second half of her sentence: “Stop flirting with our food!”
“…”
She just casually said what was on her mind! If it were a man, I’d be even more touched, damn it…
Ling Mo asked the Female Zombie, “You seem pretty confident…”
She didn’t even bother to dodge the question, clearly convinced that what she said would definitely catch his attention…
And she also believed that even if Ling Mo saw through her intentions, he would still take the risk, knowing full well she ant harm…
“What exactly do you want to say?” Ling Mo asked.
Under Xia Na’s threat, the Female Zombie showed a hint of apprehension and finally put away her smile. “The first thing you need to know is… I started following them after they escaped from the lair of a big Zombie…”
“Spider Queen?” Ling Mo interrupted her.
The Female Zombie looked at him in surprise, then nodded. “Yes, the Spider Queen… Seems you know quite a bit. So, you’ve already interrogated Pear. That makes things easier, and our conversation will go more smoothly. Since you know about the Spider Queen, you should also know what they saw there before leaving, right? Coincidentally, I was actually nearby at the ti. But back then, they weren’t my target… To be more precise, I was monitoring two other groups…”
“Spider Queen and the outsider Zombies,” Ling Mo continued.
“Yes…” The Female Zombie nodded.
“Why were you monitoring them? And how does that connect to you later following Ban Yue and the others?” Ling Mo pressed.
The Female Zombie replied, “Since you know all this, you must already understand that X City is now a battlefield full of hidden dangers. Although war won’t break out imdiately… who knows? It definitely won’t be long. Besides the outsider Zombies and the Spider Queen, and you humans, most of the Zombies here are just fragnted sacrifices…”
“Oh… Sounds like you’re about to make so lofty speech…” Ling Mo sneered.
“Heh heh… Just as you sarcastically said… I don’t care at all what happens to my kind. But don’t you think this is a great opportunity to get a share of the spoils? I, the one behind … and my companions, all gathered together for this reason. In other words, we’re planning to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits…” The Female Zombie glanced at Yu Shiran as she spoke. “So after discovering Ban Yue and the others, I wanted to recruit them, because they have a grudge against the Spider Queen and got the Host Body. After contacting them, I also learned they were looking for another Host Body. Besides… I also found out about what’s going on between you all. At that point, I beca a bit interested in you…”
Ling Mo’s face was full of exasperation… So this chick is also out there making enemies for !
Wild Zombies really are troublemakers…
“But when you tried to kill , I didn’t see much interest from you.” Ling Mo suddenly said coldly.
“You don’t seem like soone who’d obediently listen, so if I had the chance to kill you, I’d prioritize that. But now… you and I both know, my change in attitude isn’t because I still want to recruit you, it’s just that I don’t want to end up like Pear… or like them.” The Female Zombie replied, glancing at Xia Na and the others.
“Hmm… pretty honest…” Ling Mo smiled.
That’s also why he didn’t threaten her with death… But this Female Zombie clearly misunderstood, thinking Xia Na and the others were completely under Ling Mo’s control, not knowing that aside from the psychic link with Ling Mo, their behavior wasn’t affected at all. As for Pear… at the ti, half her body was indeed under Ling Mo’s control…
Besides, he could Sensing that this Zombie was hiding a lot. But at least what she said was true.
“But after saying so much… you still haven’t given a reason to spare you,” Ling Mo said.
“You’ll be interested… Maybe I won’t move you… but in three days, you’ll et the one behind . You’re human, don’t you want to be one of those who reap the benefits too? I know you Survivors are about to face a catastrophe… Ban Yue and the others might know a lot, but the only ones who can truly help you are us.” The Female Zombie said.
“But why would Zombies help humans?” Ling Mo was secretly shocked, but asked calmly. This Female Zombie… really cuts to the chase…
“Us helping humans… isn’t necessarily a good thing.” The Female Zombie smiled strangely. “Don’t worry, I know what you’re worried about. Even if not for my own survival, that one would agree. Right now… he’s just the icing on the cake. So you can rest assured… when the ti cos, that one will definitely satisfy you… As for how you’ll beco the fisherman after getting the information, that’s not our concern.”
There’s a hidden aning here… Ling Mo imdiately frowned.
Didn’t expect the situation in X City to have beco like this… But, this Female Zombie is right…
“What’s the use of that Host Body, anyway?” Ling Mo thought for a mont and asked.
“It? It’s aningless to you humans, but to Zombies… especially Senior Zombies, it’s very useful.” The Female Zombie said, but refused to elaborate. “Why not just ask Ban Yue directly? I don’t know much…”
Not much, but not little either!
Ling Mo secretly grumbled, then asked, “Last question… What’s your na? And the one behind you?”
“That one… sorry, can’t tell you. If you want to know, you can ask her in person.” The Female Zombie said with a strange tone. “As for , I’m called Simple…”
“Simple my ass! You picked that na just to be sarcastic, didn’t you!” Ling Mo couldn’t help but say.
As for asking that one in person… judging by this Female Zombie’s expression and tone, she might as well have said, “Go ahead and get yourself killed then!” or sothing like that…
“Who knew nas could be taboo? Aren’t they just codes for Zombies to tell each other apart…” Ling Mo muttered to himself.
“Oh right,” Ling Mo suddenly said, “Let’s hear it with a scream.”
Simple was confused at first, but quickly caught on. She shot Ling Mo a mocking look, then suddenly raised her voice…
“Ah! Human, you’ll die a horrible death! I’ll skin you and drink your blood! Ah…”
“Wow…”
Everyone resting outside the warehouse turned their heads. “That’s a pretty heroic scream…”
“Didn’t expect Zombies to use the dying curse routine too…”
“Wonder what the captain did to her…”
“Why are you looking at ! How would a pure person like know!”
…
“Ah!”
Simple’s scream finally ca to an abrupt end…
“…” Ling Mo stared at her for a while, then said, “That was all from the heart, huh…”
“Yeah.”
“At least try to cover it up…” Ling Mo said.
After speaking, he waved his hand and prepared to leave.
“Wait…”
Simple suddenly called out to Ling Mo, asking his back, “Have you ever thought about what you’d do if your human companions found out your secret one day? What would you do then?”
Ling Mo paused for a few seconds, then finally left without looking back.
“Just thinking about it is so interesting…” Simple was muttering when her body fell from the wall. At the sa ti, Li Yalin’s figure appeared behind her…
“Pa!”
With a dull thud, the Female Zombie collapsed to the ground…
