My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 524: The Awakened Body

Li Wei had been wanting to exchange a few words with Ling Mo, but seeing Ling Mos dumbfounded expression, and then looking at Su Qianrous retreating figure, walking away with her usual confident stride and swaying hips

After quickly comparing the two, Li Wei sympathetically nodded at Ling Mo and then hurriedly followed Su Qianrou with the documents in his arms.

Ah ha, I didnt expect you two to come to an agreement so quickly. Well then, I also

Yuwen Xuan turned to leave but was suddenly held back by a tangible mental Tentacle that Ling Mo had latched onto his collar.

Ah ha ha ha Strange, I cant seem to move

Yuwen Xuan muttered, while a layer of cold sweat formed on his forehead.

Crack

The sound of a fist being clenched came from behind, accompanied by a chilling voice: Im done talking with her, but with you we havent even started, have we?

No, no, no, brother-in-law, you need to stay calm. Listen to me, I was just trying to help Yalin No, I mean, I was trying to secure benefits for you. Sure, whats mine is yours, and whats yours is still yours, but headquarters will definitely pay more attention to me in the future Anyway, the more I can take advantage of them, the better, right? Besides, with Falcon being the biggest player in this region, its all to your benefit Ah!

A scream like that of a slaughtered pig suddenly rang out, causing several Air Force Corps soldiers who had just walked up the stairs to look up in astonishment.

Did you guys hear something?

Hmm? Im not sure, maybe it was a crow?

Are there crows around here?

There might be

Within a few days, the Air Force Corps had been thoroughly purged and had become completely Yuwen Xuans Falcon Second Camp.

During these days, everyone was busy

Jian Qi and his people were discussing the details of the deal with Zhang Yu and quickly took action.

A large number of fire members were airlifted directly into City X by helicopter, no longer having to risk traveling overland.

Even though Lucys previous efforts seemed to have been in vain, the now irrelevant route was a good thing for both her and fire.

At least, there would be no more senseless sacrifices

However, for Zhang Yu, this was definitely a painful affair.

Each round-trip helicopter flight consumed a significant amount of fuel. Although this was part of the agreement between the two parties, Zhang Yus face grew darker with each flight. Over several days, he looked as if he was suffering from chronic constipation, and everyone steered clear of him, fearing they might ignite the volcano brewing within him

Besides, the roars of anger emanating from the Commanding Officers office each day further reminded everyone not to provoke Zhang Yu

In just a few days, the former members of the Air Force Corps quickly got to know their new superiors.

The hands-off boss Yuwen Xuan, the devilish coach Tom, and the housekeeper-like Zhang Yu

Although these people were of various characters, they lacked the habits of the former Air Force Corps officers.

Just as Yuwen Xuan had said, for these people, they had simply changed bosses.

As long as the new boss was a bit better than the old one, they would quickly come to accept the reality.

After all, isnt it all about staying alive? Who you follow doesnt really matter, does it?

Ever since Su Qianrou flirted with Ling Mo that one time, she seemed to get hooked. Every day after finishing her essential tasks, she would drag Li Wei all over the building searching for Ling Mo.

But Ling Mo was well-prepared. While scouring the building for the supplies he needed, he used his psychic sensing abilities to avoid Su Qianrou.

It wasnt that Ling Mo was afraid of her; rather, he had this vague feeling

This woman shes not to be trifled with lightly

A week later, the relocation of Fire was nearly complete. Those who were still at the second camp included Jian Qi and a few of the seasoned Fire members, and then there was Lucy.

This iceberg violent woman had been somewhat distracted these past few days. She watched as Fire successfully settled in City X and even formed an alliance with the most powerful force, Falcon. Yet, a persistent shadow loomed over Lucys heart

Mutation

The subtle changes in her body were becoming more and more apparent, to the point where even when she occasionally looked at her companions, her muscles would involuntarily tense up.

There were no thoughts of wanting to devour humans in her mind, but when facing others, her body was already instinctively ready to hunt.

This feeling was driving Lucy almost insane

Can she still go to City X with the Fire members like this?

But if she doesnt go, what should she do? Kill herself before the mutation takes over?

All these thoughts kept circulating in Lucys mind.

I dont want to die

Lucy thought of her friends and family They had mutated into monsters, trying to tear her apart, yet she still fought to live.

But now, for a reason she couldnt fathom, after being inexplicably infected, was she supposed to give up?

That girl Lucy suddenly pictured Ye Lian in her mind, She asked if zombies could also turn into sincere and benevolent beings

But can zombies become sincere and benevolent beings?

Lucys heartbeat suddenly quickened.

If they could, then there was hope for her

Although becoming a zombie didnt mean death, how many humans could accept such a thing?

Lucy certainly couldnt.

Just the thought of those grotesque yet familiar faces turned into zombies sent chills down her spine.

But if they knew nothing about it, why did she ask that question?

At the time, it didnt seem significant, but now that she thought about it, Lucy was still somewhat concerned about Ye Lians demeanor back then

Lucy.

Standing in the corridor lost in her thoughts, Lucy was startled by this sudden call, snapping back to reality.

She turned around to see who it was, and her eyes immediately became complex: Its you

Jian Qi had his hands in his pockets and walked over with a smile, saying, What are you thinking about? You seemed really engrossed.

Nothing Its nothing, Lucy replied, forcing a twitch of her lips.

Suddenly encountering Jian Qi at such a time, Lucy couldnt help feeling a bit guilty.

Perhaps there was also a tinge of disappointment

It had been days, and although the second camp was not small, it was only so big. Yet, she hadnt bumped into that guy even once

Lucy was probably so preoccupied with the thought of her ongoing mutation and the fleeting time that her mind was increasingly filled with thoughts about this, she couldnt help but be a bit self-deprecating.

The fleeting change in Lucys expression did not escape Jian Qis notice.

However, after a cold huff within himself, he approached her as if nothing was amiss. Something on your mind?

No

Lucy first denied it outright, then hesitated before giving Jian Qi a glance.

Should she ask?

Looking into Jian Qis earnest eyes, Lucy wavered but eventually couldnt help but say, Jian Qi, I want to ask you

When did you start researching the virus?

When?

Jian Qis eyes narrowed slightly as he leaned back against the wall, the shadow conveniently obscuring his facial expression. In the silent corridor, his voice sounded somewhat chilling: Why the sudden curiosity?

This trip to City X, its mainly for your research, isnt it? Lucy said.

Lucy felt nervous, unsure of how to broach the main topic of her inquiry.

What if Jian Qi noticed something amiss in her questioning, what should she do?

What Lucy didnt realize was that what Jian Qi noticed had nothing to do with what she was currently thinking about at all.

Why is Lucy, who never bothers with such things, suddenly asking me this question? Her look just now and the way she looked at Ling Mo when we left together

Could it be that Ling Mo sent her to test me?

But even if Lucy told Ling Mo everything about the potion, he shouldnt be asking me about it. The stuff isnt of much use to Psychics Heh, forget it, if I can confirm my suspicions, this might be a good opportunity to use her

Jian Qis thoughts were racing, but despite his strong analytical and observational skills, he never imagined that the Lucy before him was in the midst of a very special and slow mutation.

Lucy, weve known each other for so long, theres no need for beating around the bush Just ask what you want to know, Jian Qi said with his arms folded and in a low voice.

This

Lucy was initially startled, then bit her lip: You answer me first, otherwise I dont even know how to start.

Since youre interested, I might as well tell you, Jian Qi said after a moments thought.
