My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 529: Mental Shielding

As soon as the Mental Sphere, Nana, appeared, Jian Qi, who had fallen into a frenzied state, still immediately sensed the dangerous aura with acute sharpness.

Although at this moment he was the epitome of brawn over brains, his instinctual reaction to combat remained intact.

While in a headlong rush, Jian Qi suddenly twisted his body, his right foot gripping the ground fiercely, leaving a deep mark on the floor as he forcefully turned around.

“Such a quick response!”

At the same time, Jian Qi had already leveraged his strength to throw a right punch, slamming it towards Nana, while he bellowed indistinctly, “Die!”

The momentum of the punch was so formidable that it demanded attention.

“Be careful!”

Lucy couldn’t help but shout a warning, but it was already too late to lend a hand.

She couldn’t see Nana and thought the punch was aimed at Shana.

“Pretty impressive, huh.”

Nana, watching the incoming fist, didn’t dodge or avoid: “But, you have to hit me for it to count.”

She slid forward to meet the fist, her blood-red scythe slashing down directly towards Jian Qi’s Mental Sphere.

Boom!

Even though it missed, the punch still emitted a sharp sound, indicating the immense power behind it.

But no matter how strong the punch, what use could it possibly have against a Mental Sphere…

The moment his fist extended, Jian Qi realized something was amiss, but a sudden intense pain in his head prevented him from responding immediately.

“Ah!”

The Mental Sphere suddenly suffered the shock of an external mental power, causing Jian Qi to let out a painful howl, his body’s movements immediately becoming distorted.

And the Mental Tentacles that followed, engulfing him like a tidal wave, submerged him completely.

“I’ll kill you!… Kill you!”

Jian Qi’s low growls continued to echo as his violent resistance gave Ling Mo a bit of a headache.

If it weren’t for Nana, he might actually have been able to reach Ling Mo.

But there are not so many ‘ifs’ in life, and Jian Qi, lacking a clear understanding of Ling Mo’s abilities and falling into an ambush designed by him, was bound to be unlucky.

“I won’t say anything! You won’t learn anything from me! If I die, you won’t survive either! You won’t live either!”

Stimulated in this way, Jian Qi seemed to become a lot more lucid, shouting, “Ling Mo! You’re seeking death! You’re seeking death!”

“How annoying,” Shana frowned.

Li Ya Lin and Ye Lian also nodded immediately.

The three female zombies looked at each other and then silently closed in.

As Shana lifted her right foot first, a series of muffled “thump thump” sounds erupted like firecrackers.

“Ling Mo, you… Ah! You damn gang up to fight, you won’t die a good death… Ah!”

Soon, Jian Qi’s howling faded away…

“Don’t you think this method is too violent?” Lucy twitched at the corner of her mouth.

“This is someone else’s territory; of course, we need to make it quick,” Ling Mo stated.

“What if it was somewhere else? Hey, don’t turn away; if it were somewhere else, what would you do?”

A few minutes later, the three female zombies dispersed.

Lying in the middle, Jian Qi was limp as mud, eyes rolled back, with a trickle of blood foaming at the corner of his mouth, looking utterly wretched.

Ling Mo clenched his fists and slowly approached Jian Qi.

Jian Qi, half-conscious, was still twitching slightly, his lips trembling continuously.

“I never intended to interrogate you. You’ve hidden so many secrets, your subconscious must have a deep impression of them, right?”

Ling Mo smiled faintly, extending two mental Tentacles and inserting them into Jian Qi’s Mental Sphere.

As Ling Mo’s mental energy was being heavily drained, Jian Qi’s body suddenly arched, his eyes widened in terror, staring dead at Ling Mo…

“Whether you talk or not is not up to you.”

Ling Mo met his gaze, and suddenly increased the output of his mental energy.

Soon, Ling Mo’s complexion turned pale. He frowned, receiving a continuous stream of information from within Jian Qi’s Mental Sphere.

Countless fragments of light and shadow, like a projector, flashed through Ling Mo’s mind incessantly.

“Ah!”

When the disaster had just broken out, a pale-faced Jian Qi came tumbling out of a house…

At that time, Jian Qi was just an ordinary survivor…

Like everyone else, he was panic-stricken, spending each day amidst heartbeats and screams, huddling in a corner at night with a dirty blanket, eyes bloodshot, vigilant of every noise outside.

…

The scene quickly passed…

As his powers awakened, Jian Qi began to stand out among a group of survivors, becoming the hope for everyone’s survival.

It was also at this time that Jian Qi began to become full of himself…

When everyone else was cast into the abyss, only he managed to climb a little higher, a little further away from the depths…

“Why is it all these memories…”

Ling Mo’s brow furrowed as he looked at Jian Qi, who was writhing like a maggot, a sense of urgency rising in his heart.

If it was all irrelevant memories, then this operation would be considered a failure.

The four words “virus Origin” were of great concern to Ling Mo.josei

If he could find the Origin, it would satisfy his own evolution, the enhancement of the female zombies, or Ye Lian’s desire to regain her humanity…

Moving step by step as he was now, there was a sense of powerlessness, as if directionless.

It was like seeing a glimmer of light while struggling blindly; Ling Mo was unwilling to let the opportunity slip away before his eyes.

“Why… why is his mind filled with these…”

Ling Mo increased the output of his mental energy once again, and suddenly his pupils contracted…

“A shield? How could this happen?”

This sudden mental shield wrapped around most of Jian Qi’s Mental Sphere.

Moreover, Ling Mo could feel that this wasn’t Jian Qi’s own mental energy…

“This is…”

He vaguely sensed something was off, but at that moment, Jian Qi started to struggle frantically.

Inside the Mental Sphere, the mental shield also began to wriggle.

“Damn it!”

This was a mental assault!

The mental shield was effectively sacrificing itself, repeatedly colliding with the remaining Mental Spheres, and soon there would be nothing left for Ling Mo to observe as they neutralized each other!

“Who cares what you are, competing with me for the spoils of war, you’re courting death!”

Ling Mo’s brows knitted together, and his mental Tentacles immediately reached out, beginning to devour the mental shield directly.

…

Tap tap tap…

A series of crisp footsteps echoed in the dim corridor, with a figure holding a folder swinging in hand, moving somewhat hastily.

He swiftly traversed the lengthy hallway, arriving directly at the door of a room at the end of the corridor.

As he pushed open the door, his voice also rang out: “Mr. Ai, Zero is showing signs of activity.”

“What’s going on?”

A voice came from the shadows within the room.

“Zero has had a violent reaction, but…” the figure’s voice hesitated for a moment, “perhaps you should look at the report first.”

“Bring it here.”

The sound of flipping papers quickly followed from inside the room.

The person who had spoken earlier whispered, “Zero hasn’t received any communication signals; it’s an instinctual alarm. It suggests that a member has suffered significant trauma, and it’s direct, sustained mental harm.”

“Who’s the injured?”

The person inside the room asked with an even tone, betraying no significant emotional fluctuation.

“According to Zero’s feedback, it’s a Level nine member from City F,” the respondent said.

“Level nine… The lowest level of membership? A trivial matter; they won’t talk much anyway.”

The person inside seemed somewhat disinterested, and the sound of papers being turned slowed down.

After a moment of silence, the respondent suddenly spoke, “The problem is, Zero indicates that it might be a case of absorption… It can’t make an accurate judgment on this, but we cannot rule out the possibility of intelligence leakage.”

“Absorption?”

As soon as the figure finished speaking, a person “swooshed” up from the sofa inside the room.

“Zero can’t stop it?” the person inside asked.

“It’s unstoppable, the speed is too fast, and the opponent’s Mental power is very strong,” the respondent said.

“An absorption…”

The person inside was very tall, and under the dim light, his expression was unclear, “Keep a close eye on Zero’s condition!”

“Understood.”

As the figure left the room, the tall person inside pushed up his slightly reflective glasses, and after a while, slowly settled back down onto the sofa.

“Absorption… And tough enough to withstand Zero… Who could it be?”
