My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 740: Extremely Combat-Capable Human Female

At present, there were no signs of Canine Zombies in the vicinity; they were obviously deliberately avoided by Ye Lian and her companions.

Although Canine Zombies possess a strong sense of smell, the group, including Xiao Bai, is no pushover. Even if they cannot detect the Canine Zombies from a safe distance, can’t they still notice the person patrolling with the Canine Zombies? With all the intelligence provided by Ling Mo, such trivial matters are not a problem for them.

But seeing them preparing to infiltrate, Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.

The reasons he allowed them to participate were: first, because Niepan headquarters had concentrated its firepower in the core area, making the outer zones relatively lax, and second, because the presence of Canine Zombies had put an end to his ability to control ordinary Zombie Puppets for infiltration.

However, he only had knowledge of the external situation and was entirely clueless about the interior of the building…

“Calm down, calm down… They’ve all had their abilities enhanced before coming, it’ll be fine…”

While Ling Mo continued to murmur to himself, the three female Zombies excitedly parted the bushes and stealthily darted out.

They moved along the edge of the greenery, swiftly approaching the building like three nighttime felines.

The Iron Door at the front was locked. Yu Shiran curiously peeked through the gaps between the iron bars. From her angle, she could only see part of an empty corridor and a few tightly closed room doors.

A few seconds later, she turned her head and whispered, “There are many strange smells…”

She then looked at the large lock hanging on the door and asked, “How do we get in?”

As she spoke, she reached for the lock, an action that made Ling Mo’s eyebrow twitch.

“Hey, understand what infiltrating means! Do you actually intend to waltz in the front door?”

Fortunately, Xia Na stopped her in time, “Follow me.”

The back of the building was covered in thick wild grass, and looking up, all the windows were equipped with protective bars.

Under the constraint of not being able to forcefully break in, they had to find another way.

Xia Na’s gaze quickly locked onto a white drainpipe. “Let’s go this way.”

She walked over and grabbed the drainpipe. Without much visible effort, she suddenly leaped upwards. Just as she was about to fall back down, she accurately grabbed the pipe again, pushing herself higher with what seemed like a casual push-off. The pause before she continued her ascent was less than a tenth of a second.

The drainpipe swayed slightly, but Xia Na was already jumping higher and higher.

Ye Lian and Yu Shiran looked up from below. To them, Xia Na’s movements were agile and fluid, as if she were stepping on air. What clearly required both strength and skill seemed graceful and effortless when performed by her.

With their abilities, Ye Lian and Yu Shiran could have easily climbed the walls bare-handed, but that would inevitably leave traces. Additionally, the outward-protruding protective bars wouldn’t serve well as leverage points.

Seeing Xia Na about to reach the top, Yu Shiran and Ye Lian exchanged glances and began their own climbs.

Yu Shiran’s method was a bit brute force. She extended several silver threads from the back of her neck and used them to hoist herself up…

Ye Lian’s approach was to jump directly, positioning her toes precisely on the protruding sections of the pipe to borrow momentum for her next leap. Like Xia Na, her movements were seamless, light, and graceful, but the technique involved was far from simple. It required judgment, reaction time, and control over her strength-all of which were second nature to a Senior Zombie.

Lower-level Zombies, however, had too simplistic a thought process. Unless they were in a situation where they were hunting prey, it was difficult to trigger their full range of instincts.

By the time Ye Lian and Yu Shiran reached the top, Xia Na had already begun to open the rooftop door.

She simply grabbed the doorknob and gave it a slight shake. A “click” sound came from the lock mechanism, and the door cracked open just a bit…

In the pitch-dark hallway, a bright flashlight beam was moving back and forth, creating a stark contrast.

The person holding the flashlight was a shortie. As he slowly walked forward, he yawned, “Ah…”

Suddenly, there was a loud “bang” from behind a door on the left side, breaking the silence of the hallway.

The man immediately showed a look of impatience and kicked the door, “What’s all that noise!”

“Bang! Bang!”

More noises came continuously from inside, accompanied by muffled growling sounds.

Cursing under his breath, the man reached for a small red button by the door and pressed it hard.

There was another “bang” from inside the room, and then it fell silent.

“Unruly monsters, going nuts out of nowhere today…” the man spat on the ground, yawned again, and walked forward, swinging his flashlight.

Just as he reached the stairs leading to the next floor, a shadow slowly descended from the ceiling where he had just stood…

Yu Shiran landed softly on the ground and then turned to give a quiet signal, “Chirp chirp!”

Two shadows silently emerged from the far-end shadows…

Yu Shiran pressed her ear against the door for a moment, then turned her gaze to the keyhole.

A silver thread silently inserted itself into the keyhole. Within seconds, accompanied by a faint “click,” Yu Shiran pushed the door, and it opened with a couple of clicks.

The three slipped in one after another, and the first thing they saw was a room filled with a miscellany of chairs and tables.

Ye Lian, who entered last, gently closed the door behind her and curiously looked around the room with her large eyes.

“What is this place?” Ye Lian asked.

Xia Na whispered, “I don’t know, but it should be a relatively important place in this building. Look, that human just now resembled a dormitory supervisor from my memories; he was doing rounds. This room was given special attention, so there must be something troublesome inside…”

“What’s a dormitory supervisor?” Yu Shiran asked curiously.

“Typically, a dormitory supervisor is a near-menopausal, volatile, sharp-tongued, and highly destructive human female creature. Her combat skills are fearsome-one can take down hundreds of human girls, sometimes even including a few human males. She can easily become a subject of widespread curses and complaints,” Xia Na explained.

“Not only that, she has a collection of weapons, usually confiscated from human girls… I think,” Xia Na added, her memories visibly getting hazy, her tone becoming uncertain. But compared to the bizarre narrative she provided earlier, the phrase “I think” seemed almost negligible.

“Huh? That human we saw just now looked pretty weak, but is actually that powerful?” Yu Shiran exclaimed in surprise, “How does she compare to us?”

“I don’t know…” Xia Na responded gravely, “Even humans themselves don’t have records of fighting against a dormitory supervisor… If they did, it undoubtedly ended in complete failure…”

Ye Lian hesitantly added, “Well… then… let’s be careful.”

Ling Mo, overhearing this, could only roll his eyes. Although he possessed human memories, it always sounded so strange coming from a zombie’s perspective.

However, being careful was indeed a good idea, despite this huge misunderstanding…

The room had very dim lighting, with only a sliver of daylight seeping through the heavy curtains. But for zombies, their vision was unhindered by the low light.

This was where the difference between Senior Zombies and Low-Level Zombies became evident. Though both used a zombie’s vision, the experimental group’s Zombie Puppet’s eyesight was far inferior to Xia Na’s.

The red glimmer over his eyes had noticeably dimmed, and his vision was clear enough to see every detail, even down to the faint dust particles floating in the air.

“Xia Na, what kind of trouble could it be?” Yu Shiran asked, her movements becoming more cautious, and her voice even more hushed since learning about the “dormitory supervisor.”

“Among the hundreds of girls, it’s probably the few with the most rebellious spirits…” Xia Na said.

Yu Shiran widened her eyes and puffed out her cheeks, gently blowing out a breath, “Just a few humans…”

She was clearly trying to psych herself up. Even if these rebellious girls could oppose the dormitory supervisor, they would likely still be a tough challenge to handle.

The three female Zombies carefully circled around the piled-up desks, then directed their gaze toward a few cabinets ahead.

It looked like this place used to be a large classroom, with a portion sectioned off by the cabinets. The clutter was outside, while whatever made the noise was locked inside.

The female Zombies exchanged glances and slowly walked through the passage left in the middle, heading toward the back of the cabinets.

Ling Mo perked up instantly. He was very curious about what could be inside. Could it be Canine Zombies? Or perhaps a new type of Zombie?

One thing was certain, anything locked up in such a place had to be a finished product that the Experimental Group had mostly perfected…

“Click…”

Yu Shiran stepped on a piece of rebar and immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes widening.

She was being overly cautious and failed to notice everything around her. But since she was a Zombie, even stepping on something produced the faintest sound.

“Why are you covering your mouth when it was your foot that made the noise…” Ling Mo smacked his forehead with his palm.

Ye Lian and the others instantly turned their attention to the floor, and they finally noticed that there were many pieces of rebar scattered around…

Aside from these broken rebars, many were deeply embedded in the cement floor. They were shaped like bracelets, with both ends completely sealed.

“Oh… 101 had these underfoot too…” Ling Mo wasn’t very surprised. Indeed, this was one of the effective methods to deal with Zombies.
