My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 987: Face Tearer

Just then, Yuwen Xuan pressed himself against the iron cover and excitedly turned his head to say, “So… do you want to go check it out now?”

Now? Go where?

When Xu Shuhan saw Yuwen Xuan grabbing the handle, her heart sank.

This guy isn’t planning on settling down… Although she didn’t know exactly what he had overheard while lying there, his fervent gaze and mud-covered appearance were clear indicators that it wasn’t anything good…

However, before she could say anything, Ling Mo had already spoken up: “Wait.”

Huh? Ling Mo stopped him? That’s a relief… Xu Shuhan breathed a sigh of relief internally.

Her biggest worry had been that Ling Mo would go crazy along with this madman… Weren’t you here to find each other? Now that you’ve found each other, you should be looking for an exit.

“What’s up?” Yuwen Xuan paused and asked.

Ling Mo stroked his chin, pondering for a moment before saying, “Could the exit also be ahead?”

…You really want to go too! Not only that, but you even came up with such a flimsy excuse!

Xu Shuhan felt a surge of helplessness and whispered softly, “How could that be…”

“Haven’t we seen nothing like that along the way?” Ling Mo was quick to pick up on her mutter and promptly presented his argument.

“Isn’t that because we took the wrong path!” Xu Shuhan gritted her teeth. However, she didn’t voice this out loud because technically, they had been lured into this place… The exit used by Tang Hao’s group would definitely not be set up in such a location, but what Ling Mo mentioned might not be the exit they left either. It could be another…

The area was densely built-up with both commercial and residential buildings. Therefore, the sewer network was also intricate and interconnected. It was possible to find a manhole cover somewhere and then be able to leave this place.

However, thinking about such things in one’s mind was simple; being in the deep, dark sewer infested with Monsters made one truly appreciate… the scarcity of manhole covers! Where are those frequently spotted manhole covers when you need them!

…Complaints aside, to dissuade the two, Xu Shuhan patiently continued, “It would be very dangerous to proceed rashly…”

“Going back is even more dangerous,” Yuwen Xuan bluntly replied.

Ling Mo actually nodded in agreement, saying, “That’s right. Although we are unfamiliar with this place, we clearly understand that there are many Monsters lurking on the way back. Even if we can pass safely, there are still more Monsters waiting for us ahead. Not just them, but the companion of the ‘Giant God Warrior’ too. Remember, it has threatened us as well.”

…

“Also, I suspect that all this has a lot to do with Tang Hao and his people,” Ling Mo suddenly threw in this piece of news.

Xu Shuhan was stunned, while Yuwen Xuan appeared somewhat confused.

Ling Mo waved his hand and continued, “I can’t say exactly what it is right now because I’ve only found some clues. But finding even a small clue between Monsters and humans is definitely not a coincidence, right?”

Both were momentarily dazed. They nodded together.

Indeed, just finding clues was suspicious enough.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, humans are merely food for Monsters; that fact would never change. Forget about clues, finding a bone would be lucky…

The problem was, she had been walking with him all the way; how had she missed this fact? Could something have been overlooked? Frowning, Xu Shuhan couldn’t help wondering, Ling Mo, are we even in the same sewer…

“Let’s put my issue aside for now…” Ling Mo said, then suddenly turned to Yuwen Xuan, asking, “You explain your situation first, then we’ll decide whether to go out now or not.”

“You… ah!” Yuwen Xuan seemed reluctant to waste more time, but eventually, he turned around and said, “I said I was dragged here, do you believe it?”

“Dragged?”

Ling Mo and Xu Shuhan both widened their eyes.

That answer was unexpected!

“I don’t know how you got here, but Ling Mo has mental ability Superpowers, which might make things easier here? When I was attacked, I had no resistance.”

He spoke in a casual tone, but Yuwen Xuan’s tone still carried that edge, “You must have heard that voice too, right? I followed it for a long time before I realized something was off. But at that time, I wasn’t sure and didn’t dare to test it out… Who knows what the other party is like? If they really had Ling Mo captive, acting rashly would have jeopardized him.”

“It’s good you still recognize the word ‘jeopardize’…” Ling Mo said on the side.

Yuwen Xuan coughed and ignoring Ling Mo’s sarcasm, continued, “So, I thought of many ways and finally managed to shake it off. But just when I thought I had lost it, another figure appeared in front of me. This one was suddenly seen by me, sticking to the wall and peering into the passage. I was about to rush over and subdue him when he suddenly rushed forward. It looked like he was chasing someone, and his speed was indeed impressive, so I had no choice but to follow him from a distance. Next…”

As he spoke, he showed a somewhat troubled expression and hesitatingly said, “After catching up with him, I was within ten meters of him. Seeing that he hadn’t caught anything, I thought I’d take him down first. But then… he turned sideways towards me and suddenly tore off his own face…”

“Face tearing? Oh…” It’s a transformation.

But from Yuwen Xuan’s tone, he probably wasn’t aware of the opponent’s abilities…

“Yeah, not just the face, but all over his body… At that moment, something approached me from behind and suddenly hit me. I was so engrossed that I didn’t dodge… Later I guessed it was a stick or something, but there was no force when it swung, only generating power the moment it touched me. That’s one of the reasons I couldn’t dodge…” Yuwen Xuan touched his Hindbrain, “When I regained consciousness from the blackout, the Face Tearer, along with another figure, was approaching us… I could have resisted then, but after hearing their conversation, I decided to turn the tables…”

Despite Yuwen Xuan’s matter-of-fact narration, Xu Shuhan’s face turned extremely pale.

This was too shocking!

Not so much because of Yuwen Xuan’s experience, but because of his nonchalant tone!

Under such eerie circumstances, it was remarkable that he still thought to turn the tables!

“What conversation?” Ling Mo asked.

“It was strange… The figure just hummed twice, most of it was said by the Face Tearer. It instructed the figure to drag me in but to be careful not to damage me. ‘It’s rare to get human food so easily, don’t waste it, he’s not dead yet, make sure not to let him wake up.’ That was its exact words. Then the figure came over to drag me…” Yuwen Xuan said.

Hey… It’s all so clear, how could you still lie down! Xu Shuhan was about to go insane… If it were her… Well, better not think about it.

“At that moment, I thought maybe Ling Mo would also be inside. Since they weren’t planning to kill humans directly, I was temporarily safe, so I just continued to pretend to be unconscious. But then, they started to strip my clothes… The Face Tearer felt me a bit and let the figure lift me up, then observed me for a while… I think it was checking the quality of my meat, haha…” He could still laugh about it.

However, Ling Mo showed a thoughtful expression on the side… Perhaps it was because of Yuwen Xuan’s madness and calmness that he had survived until now… His actions seemed unreliable, but they were actually the best decisions he could make at the time. Fighting, then capturing for questioning? Having seen the scene of face tearing, it should be very clear that this approach wouldn’t work. So, turning the tables was the best strategy at that moment.

Still… It was quite a risky move…

As for the stripping… Most likely, the “Giant God Warrior” was preparing for a transformation…
