My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Ling Mo didn’t have to wait long. About twenty minutes later, a soft sound of a door opening echoed down the corridor.

“They’re here!” Ling Mo’s heart tightened as he heard the hurried “clack clack clack” of approaching footsteps.

“High heels?”

Concealed in the shadows, he cautiously peeked into the corridor.

“Seems my luck isn’t so great today…”

The guards had already stepped aside, and a man and a woman were walking toward Ling Mo’s direction, engaged in conversation.

The man, sharply dressed in a suit, was naturally Qi Tianyi, the captain of the Destruction Squad. As for the woman…

“Yang Mei mentioned a personal secretary, must be her,” Ling Mo thought, feeling a mischievous idea creeping into his mind. Then he continued irritably, “Judging by their behavior, they’re probably heading to a meeting together. Damn it, isn’t it usually the secretary showing up first most of the time!”

As for the less frequent scenarios… Ling Mo chose to selectively ignore them when he heard about them.

“Guess there’s no such thing as a lucky break. I thought making it this far meant I had some semblance of luck, but reality is harsh yet again…” Although Ling Mo felt a bit tense, the more anxious he got, the more he couldn’t help but spout nonsense in his mind. Yet, this only made his mind seem all the more clear-headed.

“Looking at their eyes, neither seems to be a superhuman with mental abilities. But that makes them even trickier to handle… There’s always a chance of someone shouting ‘behold my ultimate move’ during a fight, considering the commotion they might cause… It’s better to opt for the second location.”

With that in mind, Ling Mo cast another deep glance at them, then slowly retreated…

“…The meeting this time is mainly to discuss the Destruction Squad!” Qi Tianyi said in a low, angry voice, glancing at the guards with the corner of his eye. “Taking down two teams in a row, Ling Mo’s really got some nerve!” His tone grew colder, and his anger was all too evident.

The woman beside him helplessly replied, “Well…”

“Useless! All of them are useless!” Qi Tianyi clenched his fists, cursing, “Losing the fight is one thing, but they didn’t even manage to take a single life from the other side! Even if they couldn’t completely subdue Ling Mo, they could have at least bought some time… and yet they couldn’t even do that! Got me scolded, and I just can’t swallow this humiliation!”

“Alright, alright…” The woman raised her hand in frustration, rubbing her forehead as she spoke, “Besides Xie Wensu and Kaili, the others weren’t even core team members… As for Chief of Staff Wang, he’s reluctant to invest more resources while being wary of Ling Mo…”

“Hmph, isn’t it all because of that woman, Su Qianrou? If it weren’t for guarding against her, why would we tread so cautiously? The more resources we expend now, the greater the risk of a turnaround. I know this, and Chief of Staff Wang knows it even better,” Qi Tianyi said coldly.

The secretary nodded thoughtfully and then quietly asked, “What about Ling Mo? Are we just going to let him slip away like this?”

“They’ve already sent people to search for him. As soon as they pinpoint his exact location, I’ll personally take action!” Qi Tianyi’s fists clenched tighter, as if he intended to crush Ling Mo with his bare hands.

The secretary, meanwhile, flashed a coquettish smile, lifting her hand expectantly to her lips. But just as she did this, she was met with a glare from Qi Tianyi. Far from being bothered, she returned the look with a playful wink, “What’s the matter, afraid of becoming the CEO who growls from the rooftops?”

Qi Tianyi’s face turned ashen. After tugging at his tie, he couldn’t hold it any longer and leaned against the wall, retching dryly.

“Don’t take it to heart. Besides, hasn’t this move of mine always worked?” The woman laughed smugly.

“Shut… shut up! Every time you pull this trick, knowing the truth makes me gag!” Qi Tianyi lamented.

“Imagine if I used it on Ling Mo…”

However, Ling Mo didn’t get to witness this scene… To ambush these two, he had already quickly retreated to the location he had chosen as No. 2.

This spot was actually at the end of the corridor, connected to the main hallway through a ten-meter-long corner.

Such a design usually meant there was either a hidden restroom or it connected to a stairwell… and here, conveniently, both were true.

Once Qi Tianyi and the secretary emerged from the stairwell, they would be exposed to the camera’s surveillance range. But if they walked straight ahead, they would leave that range and enter a blind spot…

Although the other two locations had similar characteristics, those areas were too small, and the blind spots were only narrow sections.

Fine for ambushing one person, but if you intended to take out two…

“The next thing to consider is how to coax them into stepping into the blind spot…”

Thinking of this, Ling Mo reached into his pocket. “This should work.”

For several minutes after he got into position, the area remained silent. Only about five minutes later did footsteps echo from the stairwell.

But just as they pushed the door open, Qi Tianyi suddenly paused, looking puzzled as he reached into his pocket.

In the silence, the “beep beep” of a communicator was particularly piercing…

“Strange, someone’s contacting me this late…” Qi Tianyi pulled out the communicator, giving a sideways glance at the secretary who was peering over, and pressed the answer button, “Who is it?”

“Zzzzz…”

A static noise immediately came through the earpiece. Qi Tianyi frowned, glanced at the communicator, and put it back to his ear. “Talk!”

After all, communicators aren’t like mobile phones; poor signal is not unusual… However, Qi Tianyi’s situation was a bit unique. Only a select few knew about this communicator… and those included certainly did not consist of anyone who’d bother him this late.

While Chief of Staff Wang might contact him at any time, he had just received a scolding not long ago and was unlikely to bother Qi Tianyi again so soon. This was something Qi Tianyi, having worked with him for a long time, understood well.

“Damn it…” Qi Tianyi muttered, irritated by the static after waiting for a response. Just as he was about to put the communicator away, a raspy, stiff voice suddenly emerged from it.

“Want to know some important intelligence? About Ling Mo… about the Second Camp…” The voice stopped abruptly, leaving only quick breaths mixed with the crackling noise, indicating that the connection was still active.

Qi Tianyi was momentarily flustered. Just as he furrowed his brow to ask questions, the voice continued, “This is critical; I can’t say much here. Rest assured, I won’t take up too much of your time. If you want the intel, do as I say.”

“Who are you?” Qi Tianyi didn’t question the authenticity of the information right away. The mere fact that this person could contact him directly made Qi Tianyi deeply suspicious. To him, if someone could reach him like this, they should know he’s not easily fooled. Thus, regardless of their intent, the caller likely had some real intelligence…

While he asked, Qi Tianyi turned warily to the secretary. But just as he was about to make a hand gesture, the voice on the communicator coldly instructed, “Do as I say – step back into the stairwell. As for the woman with you, have her walk to the restroom and enter the ladies’ room. Also, disarm yourselves and place your weapons in the nearby flower pot.”

Qi Tianyi’s pupils narrowed, and he instinctively glanced towards the camera. He exchanged a look with the secretary before slowly heading towards the stairwell. As he passed by the empty flower pot, he casually tossed a dagger and a pistol into it.

The secretary, on the other hand, chuckled nonchalantly, drew out two pistols, discarded them, and sauntered over to the restroom.

However, just as they brushed past each other, the secretary’s lips moved ever so slightly…
