Zombie Sister Strategy

Lin Qiao threatened the big one again before leaving. As the creature seemed to be very obedient, she started to look for a way out. While turning around, she realized that the creature didn’t have a name yet, and she didn’t even know how to call it.

So, she turned back and roared at it, “Roar…” ‘Oh, I need to give you a name.’

The creature was preparing to sneak away, but it stopped moving on hearing her voice.

“Roar?” ‘Big One?‘ Lin Qiao looked at the huge creature and roared.

The creature shook its head quickly. How come that name sounded so non-serious?

As it disagreed, Lin Qiao thought for a moment and said, “Roar?” ‘Strong?‘

The creature stayed silent.

As it did not shake its head again, Lin Qiao immediately nodded. “Roar!” ‘Good, Strong it is!’

“Roar…” ‘You look strong, so I named you Strong.’

“Errr…” Strong knew nothing about human society, so he had no idea how uncool the name ‘Strong’ could sound like. Somehow, he was a little happy to have a name.

Lin Qiao left with satisfaction, having no idea how Strong moaned as it turned and ran deep down into its cave after she left, as if he was running for his life. But, after making a few turns in the tunnel, she realized that she was lost.

She had visited so many tunnels down there that she had lost her sense of direction since long ago.

Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say at this point.

At last, she turned back and grabbed a level-five underground creature, then roared at it and asked it about the exit.

The creature bared its teeth fiercely and stared at her alertly, seemingly ready to eat her without answering her question.

Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say.

Was the creature not able to understand her meaning?

“Roar?” ‘Can you show me the way out?’

She roared at it again.

This time, the creature instantly lowered its body and buried its head in its arms as it put its forehead against the ground and started trembling, also uttering a frightened moan from its throat.

“Owoooo.”

Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say.

Was she so scary? Alright, she had, indeed, killed quite some underground creatures. Those creatures might be seeing her as a monster now. Sadly, the creature didn’t understand her words. Otherwise, it might even be happy.

Moreover, Strong had hidden away. So, Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then roared in the air. ‘Strong! Come out!’

It took quite a while for Strong, who had hidden into its cave, to hear Lin Qiao’s voice coming from a long distance away. At this moment, he honestly felt speechless. If he were a human being, he would have started to complain already.

Lin Qiao was worried that Strong might not be able to hear her, so she took a deep breath and gave a louder roar.

“Roar…” ‘I’m coming! Coming!’

Once he responded to Lin Qiao, the other underground creatures in the cave shrank their bodies with fright, without daring to move.

Lin Qiao waited for quite a white, then heard Strong’s voice coming from one of the cave. After another while, she finally sensed his scent. This time, he made much smaller noises while moving than he did the last time.

“Roar…” Strong came out of the largest cave and gave Lin Qiao a low roar.

Lin Qiao looked around, then pointed upward and gave him a roar. ‘Show me the way out!’

‘So… She wants me to show her the way…‘ thought Strong.

Underground creatures differentiated directions with their noses, usually locating themselves by sensing the different compositions of the earth in different depths underground.

Lin Qiao had no idea how to do that. She was able to tell the difference of soils using her nose as well, but she had visited so many tunnels already that she could no longer tell which was which. She had no idea which way was the one she came in from.

“Hoo…” Strong uttered a sound and then turned around. He paused briefly, then gave Lin Qiao a glance and roared at her. After that, he started moving forward.

Was he going to show her the way out now?

Lin Qiao followed behind him with doubts, and he soon brought her to a large room. The room was surrounded by four seven or eight meters tall tunnels. Strong walked into a tunnel, then paused again and took a glance at Lin Qiao. As she followed behind him, he kept moving forward.

While walking, Lin Qiao found the ground underneath her feet start to incline upward and sighed with relief. It seemed that Strong was really bringing her outside.

Following his lead, Lin Qiao told him about her rules while walking. She told him that he was not allowed to attack the creatures on the earth’s surface who looked like her. She also told him that the place where he planned to attack last time was her home, and she would let the lightning guy kill him if he dared to do that again.

Strong felt speechless again as he was threatened by her while showing her the way out. That was really awful! He was not able to fight back, which made him feel even unhappier.

…

Two hours later, still no sound was heard from the cave entrance nearest to Yun Meng. However, Yun Meng sensed Strong’s scent from the third entrance, which was far away from her. Strangely, Lin Qiao’s scent was also sensed there.

“Eh?”

“What’s wrong?” Li Yue Shan turned and looked at Yun Meng’s surprised face as he asked her.

“My Chief is coming out, but…”

“She’s out? But what?” Li Yue Shan was happy to hear that.

Then, Yun Meng felt that Strong’s scent was gone, leaving her totally confused.

“Just now, I smelled the level-eight underground gorilla. I can’t smell it now…”

“What?” Li Yue Shan didn’t understand.

What? Did the level-eight underground gorilla come out together with Miss Lu? How come she couldn’t smell it anymore?

Yun Meng shook her head and said uncertainly while leaping up, “I’m not sure. Let’s go and take a look.”

Li Yue Shan followed behind her.

…

Lin Qiao finally sensed the fresh air from the earth’s surface, so she waved at Strong. “Roar…” ‘Go home!‘

On hearing her, the latter hurriedly turned and disappeared into the cave.

Lin Qiao first entered her space and brought out Black and Bowwow, then followed Yun Meng’s scent toward the base. She planned to tell her about what happened in the cave.

They were only a few miles away from each other, so they soon saw each other.

“I smelled that big one, and you two were close…” At the sight of Lin Qiao, Yun Meng looked at her curiously and asked. A strong scent of underground creatures could be sensed from Lin Qiao’s body.

Lin Qiao laughed relaxedly and said, “Oh, he’s my new pet. If I train him well, he and his herd will no longer threaten our base. On the contrary, they might help us guard the base.”

Yun Meng was stunned.

Li Yue Shan landed on the ground just in time to hear what Lin Qiao said. He was so surprised that he didn’t know what to say at all.
