My Girlfriend is a Zombie-Chapter 989: The Progenitors Threat

“Found these…” Yuwen Xuan said.

The three exchanged silent glances for a moment before Ling Mo finally spoke, “This Monster sure has some peculiar tastes…” As he spoke, he was examining the items closely. From the looks of it, the Monster didn’t have any specific collection criteria. What surprised Ling Mo even more was that there were men’s items among them… It seemed the Monster didn’t care about style or gender.

Seeing Ling Mo scrutinize the items so intently, Xu Shuhan let out a huff and shot them a glare.

Caught off guard, Yuwen Xuan awkwardly chuckled and shrugged innocently, “When I found them, they were all clean. So I figured, there must be a Monster that frequently goes to the surface, collects these things from stores, and brings them down through an entrance. Maybe… that entrance…”

“Is nearby,” Ling Mo finished the thought.

Their eyes met again, and two seconds later, Xu Shuhan couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly, “Then what are we waiting for, let’s…” But she stopped mid-sentence, realizing that finding an exit nearby was great… but there was still the Monster to deal with! Not just the one that came to feed, but also the “third person” who was capable of ambushing Yuwen Xuan…

Although Yuwen Xuan said it had disappeared, Ling Mo and Xu Shuhan had just come from that passage. They hadn’t encountered anyone else along the way, so unless there was another passage ahead, that “third person” was likely still nearby.

Moreover, in such a vast space, who knew what else might be lurking… With the black fog enveloping everything, searching for an exit in these conditions was incredibly challenging. Yet the Giant God Warrior’s transformation and these suspicious underwear gave Xu Shuhan a strange feeling…

“These Monsters aren’t collecting… They might be learning how to dress, how to disguise themselves as humans…” Ling Mo suddenly said, “Just like the Face Tearer Mad Xuan saw… That thing called itself a Giant God Warrior. After you were taken, it disguised itself as you and lured us here. When I exposed it, it mentioned ‘learning’ and ‘blending in with humans.’ I think that says a lot…”

“Is that so…” Yuwen Xuan was a bit taken aback.

Ling Mo pondered, “No wonder that Monster’s energy depleted so quickly later on. When we encountered it, it was already its second transformation, and into two completely different people… Plus, it hadn’t interacted much with Yuwen Xuan, and the transformation was rushed, so it slipped up as soon as it spoke…”

Even so, this was a chilling thought!

What concerned Ling Mo the most now was… what form did the Giant God Warrior take when it appeared before Yuwen Xuan… If he could figure that out, maybe…

“Let’s put the exit aside for now. Since we found these here, maybe we can find other human items. Through these, we might indirectly understand how far they’ve come in mimicking humans,” Ling Mo suggested.

Compared to Zombies, these Monsters were entirely different creatures… Zombies gradually regained memories and developed personalities as they evolved. Although they seemed to share some traits with humans, there were significant differences. These Monsters, however, simulated humans to the greatest extent possible, but were essentially killing machines.

In terms of danger, these Monsters might be even more threatening…

The only good news was that finished products like the Giant God Warrior were still very rare…

“The basic traits of these Monsters shouldn’t differ much from Zombies… meaning the abilities they possess come from the Progenitor… So what we need to know now is what level this Progenitor has reached…” Ling Mo said with a grim expression.

This place clearly wasn’t prepared for the Giant God Warrior, or it wouldn’t have been killed by the black fog monster in the passage. Instead, the “third person” who took Yuwen Xuan might be able to freely enter and exit the black fog… Perhaps its role was to deliver special food like Yuwen Xuan. With it around, Yuwen Xuan wasn’t attacked by the black fog monster.

Another entity that could receive special treatment was the one the black fog monster delivered food to… Additionally, there was…

The Progenitor!

So Ling Mo’s words implied that he believed these items might belong to the Progenitor…

As his words fell, Xu Shuhan’s heart began to race, and even Yuwen Xuan subconsciously clenched his fists, appearing somewhat tense.

“The Progenitor… can transform… into a human…” Xu Shuhan suddenly felt a chill.

The Giant God Warrior’s transformation was already astonishing! At least from the outside, there were no visible flaws! And its abilities might not even compare to the Progenitor’s… So what could the Progenitor transform into?

It was terrifying to think about!

She now fully understood why Ling Mo stopped Yuwen Xuan… He wasn’t opposing Yuwen Xuan’s actions but was trying to consolidate the information both sides had before taking action. This way, they wouldn’t suddenly find themselves in a passive situation. What awaited them might be a terrifying enemy… but at least from now on, it wasn’t unknown. Thinking this way, it was somewhat reassuring.

Taking this time was extremely important for them…

“Then we must go out and take a look…” Yuwen Xuan said, “I’ve been observing here for a while. Every time I heard a sound, I went out to check, and through this method, I roughly summarized that thing’s activity pattern. So I was able to find you guys just now because of this. To be honest, you were too bold just now… I don’t know what that thing is, but every time I get close to it, I feel a chill down my spine.”

“Do you have the right to say that!” Xu Shuhan snapped.

“Ahahaha…” Yuwen Xuan laughed awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, Ling Mo nodded in agreement, “Indeed… When I was at a distance from it, just Sensing it gave me an extremely uncomfortable, even oppressive feeling. That thing is definitely bad news…” He then brought the topic back, “So you’re saying it’s in a relatively stable state now?”

“Yes!” Yuwen Xuan said excitedly, “Earlier, when I escaped, it seemed agitated, and when you appeared, it was the same. But now… it seems to have calmed down after eating. Choosing to go out now should be the safest time.”

“Relatively speaking, right…” Xu Shuhan muttered.

But just listening to the tone of these two, she knew they were determined to go. And to be honest, despite her fear, she was also curious about this place… Xu Shuhan suddenly understood why Ling Mo seemed excited… Like her, he was intrigued by the Monster’s transformation!

To be precise, she was interested because she was a Zombie, and Ling Mo was interested because of Ye Lian and the others… Maybe he was also thinking about the mother hive inside the Monster…

“Ugh…” Thinking of this, Xu Shuhan felt a bit frustrated…

No choice, they had to go…

“Alright. By the way, do you remember where the Giant God Warrior led you before?” Ling Mo suddenly asked.

Yuwen Xuan paused, then nodded without hesitation, “I remember.”

“If we get the chance, let’s check it out,” Ling Mo said.

The clothes the Giant God Warrior shed might still be there… For some reason, Ling Mo felt that the previous transformation of the Giant God Warrior was very important…
