Zombie Sister Strategy

Lin Qiao moved toward where Qiu Lili pointed at.

After two streets and an alley, she came to another block and saw a building which used to be a large hotel. Many of the windows were broken, and the doors had disappeared. But, the good thing was that the building was still undamaged.

She walked in through the main entrance of the hotel. The lobby was as messy and dirty as every corner in this post-apocalyptic world. Couches were overturned or scratched broken by some creatures, with the filling sponge exposed. The couches were mostly covered in dried black blood, and so were the floor and the walls.

Lin Qiao merely made a quick glance around before walking straight toward the stairs. The zombies in this area were either driven away by the level-four wind-powered zombie, or summoned to the other side by the big-headed zombie. Due to these reasons, Lin Qiao hadn’t seen even one single zombie in this place.

This place was quiet and wasted, without any trace of living creatures. Things were covered in a thick layer of dust, showing no sign of being touched. It seemed that before Lin Qiao, no one had visited this place in a long time.

Lin Qiao walked onto the stairs to find that the stairsteps and walls by the stairs were also stained by dark and dried blood, which clearly explained how chaotic and terrifying it was when the apocalypse had arrived.

She walked to the second floor. The corridor on the second floor was also in a mess, and the third floor was mostly the same. Lin Qiao checked a lot of rooms, then finally found a large suite.

The suite contained two large beds, couches, and a living room. It was roomy and not so messy, but a little dusty.

Lin Qiao walked in and locked the door. She walked around in the suite, checking the windows and the bathroom. Then, she walked toward the two beds in the bedrooms. After that, she brought Du Yuanxing and his teammates out of his space one after another.

Qiu Lili stood by the entryway which was behind the door. Looking at the thick dust in the room, she didn’t want to walk in.

Lin Qiao didn’t care how dusty the beds were. She threw the group of human beings onto the beds, then began checking their physical conditions one after another.

First, she looked at the man who had foam on his mouth corners. She reached out a hand to pull up his eyelids and check his eyeballs, then saw that his pupils had expanded slightly.

After that, she put a hand against his neck to feel his pulse, finding that his heart was still beating. Then, she checked the others, and the results were similar. However, the ones who possessed strong superpower energy were doing slightly better than the others. The two powerless ordinary men had already fallen in a deep coma. To wake them up, special treatment might be required.

Lin Qiao felt that the lake water in her space might be helpful, but she wasn’t sure. Last time, the lake water cured the little boy who was weak because of malnutrition and starvation, but these people weren’t in the same condition.

She wasn’t a doctor, so she didn’t know how to cure people, neither did she have any medicines with her. Therefore, she decided to try the lake water.

As for whether these people could survive or not, it would have to rely on their own fate. Trying to heal them with the lake water was all she could do for them under the current situation. After all, it needed over ten hours of driving to get to the nearest human base from here.

She planned to try waking the relative stronger ones up with the lake water first, then let them figure out a way to handle this situation.

With that thought, she flashed into her space, then came out with a large bowl filled with lake water. After that, she fed the water to the group of people one by one, then began observing them.

She was able to see the energy contained in the lake water. Seeing that the energy gathered in the heads of each of them, she guessed that these people were probably hurt by the big-headed zombie’s voice.

In fact, apart from her own conscience, she had another reason to try saving these people. Her main purpose of saving them was that she wanted to ask them if they had heard about Lin Feng, Lin Wenwen, Lin Hao, Huang Mei, and Cheng Wangyue.

She knew that these people were from the Hades Base, which was the nearest Southern base from here.

Now, she needed to wait and see if these people could wake up,

Qiu Lili stood by the door for a while. After watching Lin Qiao checking these people and feeding them lake water, she walked over and pulled her arm.

Lin Qiao turned back to look at her with confusion, wondering what she wanted to say.

Qiu Lili made a gesture of writing, and Lin Qiao immediately handed her the notepad and the pen.

Qiu Lili took over the pen and paper, then began writing—’Even if you save them, they won’t be grateful. They’ll still kill you and me.’

Lin Qiao read the note, then spent a short while thinking about what Qiu Lili meant. She guessed that the latter too had tried helping human beings before, but those people found out that she was a zombie and were tempted to kill her.

Maybe because the distance between her and Qiu Lili was quite close, or the latter was emotional at the moment, Lin Qiao could sense her sadness for being abandoned and harmed.

Lin Qiao sighed, then wrote on the paper—’It’s alright. I don’t expect them to accept me. I just want to ask them about a few people. I’m not helping them for nothing. If they requite my kindness with enmity, we can just leave.’

‘Even if there will be a fight, you and I won’t lose. So, why should we worry so much?’

Lin Qiao was thinking this way.

Qiu Lili fell into silence after reading the note. She walked to the window side and stood behind the window to watch the scenery of the post-apocalyptic world.

Lin Qiao looked at her, but didn’t write another word for her. Then, she turned to walk back to the beds and check the pockets of the few men. She needed a pair of sunglasses now, so she wondered if any of these people had one. If they did have ibe, she would take one from them as the reward for saving them. She wasn’t demanding a high price at all.

So, she rummaged their pockets without any bad feelings. To her surprise, she found a pair from around Du Yuanxing’s waist.

‘He does have a sunglasses!’

She took Du Yuanxing’s sunglasses with surprise and then wore it.

It was not bad! The sunglasses were purely dark, but worked just fine for the black and white world in Lin Qiao’s eyes.

After finding the sunglasses, she leaned against the wall and looked at the people on the beds.

A couple of minutes passed…half an hour…one hour…

After waiting for two whole hours, she finally saw that Long Qingying slightly moved her eyebrows.

‘She’s awake!’

Long Qingying opened her eyes frowningly, then sat up with one hand pressing against her forehead. Only after that she noticed the surrounding environment and looked around alertly.

Then, she saw Lin Qiao, who was standing less than two meters away, and the young female zombie in a white dress in the living room.

She automatically tried to pull out her katana when seeing these two zombies. However, she touched around her waist and found nothing. After that, she realized that she had been lying there the whole time, and if the zombies wanted to hurt her, they should have done it long ago.

She hurriedly checked her own body. After finding nothing wrong, she turned to the others while Lin Qiao kept looking at her quietly.

Long Qingying confirmed that all her teammates were fine, then turned toward the latter again.
