Zombie Sister Strategy

Lin Qiao found some salt from the kitchen and put it in a jar. Then, she entered her space, looking at the turtle which was lying on its back by the lakeside.

She squatted beside the turtle and turned it around. She planned to cut off its head first. However, the turtle wouldn’t stick its head out. So, without a choice, Lin Qiao decided to cut it into pieces directly.

When Lin Qiao lifted it, the quiet turtle seemed to suddenly sense danger, abruptly sticking out its head and limbs to struggle.

Lin Qiao grasped the opportunity and cut it with her claws, causing the turtle head to fall onto the ground. Afterward, she cut through the thin shell on the side of the turtle’s body and pressed her fingers on the line.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Following the series of noise, the turtle shell was broken. Lin Qiao clasped the turtle shell with one hand and tore it with the other, easily splitting the turtle into two.

The fishy aroma instantly grew stronger. Maybe because the turtle hadn’t touched water for a few days, Lin Qiao somehow felt that the fishy smell was lighter than before.

Lin Qiao sliced off a piece of turtle meat with her fingernail, then put it into her mouth. It was smooth and soft, tasting sweet and fishy, not the same as before. Before, she didn’t taste such a strong flavor of the turtle.

Finishing the first slice, she cut off another slice and put it into her mouth. After that, she couldn’t stop eating. Only until half of the turtle was eaten by her did she remember that she still needed to make turtle soup for Tong Tong.

She hurriedly washed the rest of the turtle. As she didn’t have other seasoning, she decided to boil the turtle together with potatoes, then add some vegetables to enrich the flavor.

Except for Tong Tong, she also wanted Lin Xiaolu to have some of the turtle meat. Then, she thought of Lin Xiaolu’s parents, aunty, uncle, grandparents, Long Qingying and the others.

‘Alright, those adults can have some soup,’ she thought.

As she was now cooking for more people, she decided to add some vegetables. So, she washed some cabbages and put them into the soup. Soon, a large potful of soup was ready.

At last, she carried a large potful of turtle soup out of her space.

Boiled food was flavorless for Lin Qiao. However, Tong Tong seemed to have detected something. Once she walked into the room with the pot, he twitched her nose and began sniffing around.

“Mom…It smells nice…” He fixed his eyes on the pot in Lin Qiao’s hands and then dragged Liu Jun’s trousers. Liu Jun had sensed Lin Qiao when the latter walked in, but like her, she didn’t smell anything either. Hearing her son, she turned to look at Lin Qiao.

Then, she saw Lin Qiao walk in with a large pot of steaming soup.

“The soup is ready? So much?”

“You go find a large bowl to get some soup for Tong Tong, then I’ll bring the rest to the others. Xiaolu has lost some weight, so I want her to absorb some nourishment.”

Liu Jun smilingly nodded, then gently pulled Tong Tong away from her leg and said, “Good Tong Tong, sit here. Mommy will get you some delicious soup.”

Hearing that he could have some delicious soup, Tong Tong quietly sat on the couch. Liu Jun then stood up and walked to the cabinet nearby, taking a large stainless steel bowl and a small one. After that, she filled the large bowl with soup, meat, and vegetables.

“Alright, these are enough for Tong Tong. Bring the rest to the others,” she said. Lin Qiao nodded, then walked out of the room with the potful of soup, toward Lin Feng’s room.

Lin Feng’s room was empty. She didn’t know where they had gone, so she walked in, put the soup on the table, then sensed their vibes and found that they were all on the first floor.

‘Yeah, it’s lunchtime. They’re eating downstairs!’

Thinking for a moment, Lin Qiao left a note beside the pot to tell those people that the soup was made with one of those turtles downstairs, and was for them.

As for whether they dared to drink it or not, that would be up to them.

However, once she put down the note, her expression changed slightly. She turned to walk to the door, then looked at the stairs with confusion.

A while later, some people came upstairs.

Lin Feng, Mrs. Lin, Long Qingying and a few others came up. They all looked fine, but Lin Xiaolu, who was lying on Lin Feng’s back, seemed to be a little droopy.

The group of people were a little surprised when finding Lin Qiao standing by the door of their room.

“Eh? Miss. Lu, were you looking for us?”

Lin Qiao pointed at the pot on the table and said, “I was making some soup for Tong Tong. Then, I thought of Xiaolu, so I made more and brought it here for you. But, you were downstairs for lunch.” While speaking, she stepped aside, glancing at Lin Xiaolu.

Lin Feng smiled and said, “Ah, thank you, we just had lunch! Maybe, you should bring it back for Tong Tong.”

Lin Qiao spread her hands and said, “Tong Tong can’t finish it alone.”

Lin Feng and the others walked into the room and found the large potful of soup. Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Qiao, then smiled and said, “It’s alright, we’re only half-full. We can still have some soup.”

Lin Qiao quickly nodded.

The group of people sat down on the couch. Mr. Lin picked up the note and read it, then a dim light flashed across her light. However, she quickly concealed it as she turned to say to Lin Qiao smilingly, “Is this made from those mutant turtles? Is it safe for us?”

Lin Qiao walked over and leaned against the door as she said, “It’s safe is you trust me. Besides, I’ve let Tong Tong drink it, and he has been healthy the whole time. But, I’m curious about what happened to Xiaolu now. She looks a little tired, why?”

In fact, Lin Xiaolu was already unconscious.

Lin Feng put Lin Xiaolu on the couch, then gently patted her face with confusion.

“Xiaolu? Eh…Why did she fall asleep?” However, Lin Feng didn’t pay too much attention to his daughter. He thought that she was sleep, so he put her on the couch and let her lie down.

“She looked a little tired during the lunch just now,” said Mrs. Lin, “Maybe she played too much.”

Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and saw that a stream of energy slowly seeping out from deep inside Lin Xiaolu’s body. The tiny amount of energy seeped into Lin Xiaolu’s vines, seeming to gather together.

Lin Feng turned to look at the steaming soup on the table. He sensed a nice aroma, yet didn’t seem to want to taste it. Mrs. Lin smiled and said to him, “Lin Feng, just have some. I think it’s safe.”

While speaking, she gave Lin Qiao a meaningful glance.

Lin Qiao pretended not to sense it, but smiled and said, “It’s alright! It’s understandable if you don’t dare to taste it. After all, it’s made from a mutant turtle. I can sense if the virus existed inside mutant animals and plants, which is why I feed Tong Tong with those mutant foods. Maybe you don’t believe it, but I think that’s one of my abilities.”
