My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1001: The True Lethal Curves

“Gulp…” In the darkness, Yuwen Xuan seemed to swallow hard.

As the distance closed in, Ling Mo couldn’t help but clench his fists…

The sensation of being in the dark, trying to approach an unknown target, was both thrilling and suffocating…

“Be careful…” Shuhan whispered softly after two seconds.

No sooner had she spoken than a faint sound broke the silence.

“Cre-eak.”

The sound wasn’t loud, but it startled the three of them, who were holding their breath.

Ling Mo immediately felt an added weight on his arm, accompanied by a soft, pressing sensation…

Shuhan covered her mouth, gripping Ling Mo tightly.

Just moments ago, she had been leading the way, but now she was trembling all over with fear…

She couldn’t hold it together!

Meanwhile, Yuwen Xuan was momentarily stunned. By the time he came to his senses, Ling Mo had already pulled Shuhan to the side. He felt a tightness around his waist and was dragged along too.

“Quick, get down,” Ling Mo said swiftly.

Yuwen Xuan was about to ask a question when he heard the sound again.

“Cre-eak…”

And compared to before, the sound was clearly closer…

Th𝘪𝑠 𝕔hа̄p𝘵𝖾r 𝑖𝗌 p𝑜𝕤𝖙℮𝗱 b𝐲 Ⱪ𝙞𝑡𝑒𝐧◎ν𝗲𝘭

Something was approaching!

It was evident that Ling Mo had sensed something…

“Cre-eak…”

As they exchanged brief words, the frequency of the “creak” sound began to increase, and it was getting closer… If one were to imagine based solely on the sound, it was as if someone was speeding up, quickly approaching the three hiding there… And they, crouching under the cover of the black fog, might not be hidden at all…

But as Shuhan had mentioned earlier, the black fog here was incredibly dense, and combined with the open space, the sounds they heard carried a slight echo, making it possible to discern the general direction but too difficult to pinpoint the exact location…

Overall, the environment was unfavorable for them. However, on the bright side, the approaching entity might not necessarily be targeting them…

“Is it footsteps?” Ling Mo speculated, frowning.

From the speed at which the sound was amplifying, it was clear that whatever it was would soon be upon them…

“Ah!”

But no one expected a sudden scream to pierce the air…

And the scream clearly carried a strong sense of fear… It couldn’t have been from those Monsters. They were incapable of feeling any fear.

“Creak!”

The footsteps stopped abruptly after the scream, but soon resumed, this time receding into the distance.

“What the heck!”

Ling Mo quickly snapped out of his shock and pulled Xu Shuhan to her feet.

“What happened?” Yuwen Xuan, sensing Ling Mo’s movement through the change in the Tentacle’s grip, stood up and couldn’t help but ask.

“I have no idea…” Xu Shuhan shook her head, still shaken. The change had happened so fast, she hadn’t seen anything.

Ling Mo whispered, “Whatever it is… it’s an opportunity!”

“You mean… we should follow it?” Xu Shuhan asked.

Hearing footsteps in a place like this was eerie enough… and now there was a scream too, yet he still wanted to go?

“Exactly.” Ling Mo nodded, adding, “You and Mad Xuan can wait here if you want.”

“No way!”

“I’m not staying!”

Xu Shuhan and Yuwen Xuan refused in unison.

“I have to go!” Yuwen Xuan protested, “It’s so thrilling…”

“Thrilling? Can you be normal for once?”

“Hahaha… sorry…”

Xu Shuhan, her voice tense, said, “I’m really scared, but… but I still want to go. I know why you want to go… I also… I also want to learn more, after all, I…”

At this point, she probably felt awkward herself… but to show her determination, she forced herself to add, “Anyway, I can help. Fear… is just temporary, I won’t hold you back.”

“Uh… alright. Don’t worry, if things go south, we’ll retreat.” Ling Mo said, then suddenly spoke softly, “Uh, Host Xu…”

“I’m going!” Xu Shuhan replied quickly.

“I know… but, aren’t you holding on a bit too tight…” Ling Mo said awkwardly. It was hard for him to bring this up…

In fact, he was already being quite tactful… Xu Shuhan wasn’t just holding on tight, she was practically wrapped around him. Besides clinging tightly to Ling Mo’s Arm, her long legs were also entwined around his. Coupled with the formidable strength she possessed as a Zombie, Ling Mo could feel his Arm being squeezed… truly lethal curves…

“Huh?… Ah!” Xu Shuhan glanced down, realized, and quickly let go, jumping back.

She was utterly embarrassed at this moment… Just moments ago, she had confidently declared she wouldn’t hold anyone back, yet here she was, her words saying one thing while her body did quite another!

And the worst part was… she still had to hold onto Ling Mo’s wrist to lead the way…

So, with her face burning red with embarrassment, Xu Shuhan reluctantly reached out her hand once more to grab Ling Mo…

“Let’s go!” Ling Mo, however, seemed completely oblivious to Xu Shuhan’s inner turmoil. His attention was entirely focused on the darkness ahead…

Yuwen Xuan was equally excited, though his emotions were all expressed through his words: “You guys noticed it too, right? That sound is really suspicious! It’s not a Monster, but it can’t be human either… Statistically speaking, I think that sound is most likely made by one of those Monsters capable of transformation. But then, what’s with those footsteps? If it had discovered us, it…”

“That’s what I don’t understand either,” Ling Mo said in a low voice as he ran. “If that sound was meant to lure us, then the footsteps don’t make sense. I think it’s possible that the sound and the footsteps aren’t from the same source… so…”

“So this is an opportunity…” Yuwen Xuan immediately understood.

Xu Shuhan also caught on. They had been on the defensive just moments ago, but now they were following behind, taking the initiative…

Yet for some reason, whenever she thought of that sound, Xu Shuhan couldn’t shake a feeling of discomfort deep in her heart…

“Ling Mo, I think…”

“Ah!”

Another scream pierced the air, and this time, it was almost a shriek of agony…
