Zombie Sister Strategy

Xiao Yunlong was a little confused when Qiu Lili pulled a face at him. He silently calmed his power which was preparing in his palm, then walked to Yuan Tianxing and asked with a confused look, “If I was right, her eyes…”

Those were zombie eyes, with ruby-like pupils. The owner of those eyes was a zombie queen at least, or even a higher-leveled being.

Yuan Tianxing finally noticed the nervous Xiao Yunlong. He saw that the latter’s entire body had been tightened up, probably because he was preparing to make a move ever since he saw Qiu Lili. Yuan Tianxing guessed that Xiao Yunlong had refrained from launching an attack because he saw him talking to Qiu Lili.

“Ugh, relax, relax! Don’t worry, she’s not gonna hurt us,” Yuan Tianxing hurriedly said to Xiao Yunlong with a smile. The latter still looked at him in surprise while saying, “Do you mean that… she’s really a…”

He wished that the truth wasn’t like what he thought. That girl could talk, so he guessed that he was wrong…

Seeing the shocked and confused look on this tall and sturdy man’s face, Yuan Tianxing grinned and said, “That’s right, it’s like what you’re thinking. But, I am now relaxed after seeing her. She showed up here, which means Lin Feng and the others are truly fine.”

Yan Fangyu had told him that Yang Chao had secretly sent some people after Lin Feng and the others. Yang Chao wouldn’t just send one or two people, and the people he sent would be no weaker than level-six superpowered beings. Facing those kinds of enemies, Lin Feng and his people were truly defenseless.

Even knowing that Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili were with them, Yuan Tianxing was still worried, because it was hard to defend against the enemies that one didn’t know. If those people had launched a surprise attack, even Qiu Lili might not have been able to protect everyone. Besides, Lin Qiao had left for the center of Hangzhou City, and Yuan Tianxing didn’t know if she had returned yet.

So, at the moment, the strongest ones among the whole group of people were Lin Feng and Qiu Lili.

They would be able to deal with one or two level-six superpowered people. However, the ones who were working for Yang Chao were robbers, who had plenty of ways to hurt people. They were all cruel and heartless, and considerably strong. The people who were able to survive in the open post-apocalyptic world were very dangerous.

“Are you saying that… she’s what I think she is? Are you sure?” Xiao Yunlong was still wearing that bewildered look. Yuan Tianxing nodded and said, “That’s right. She’s a zombie queen. But… could she always talk? I’ve only heard her roaring before.”

Xiao Yunlong popped his eyes to look at Yuan Tianxing, then glanced at his subordinates. “Why can you talking about that so calmly?” he asked, “Don’t you think that… a talking zombie is… ugh… very strange?”

The ones who wore the same look as Xiao Yunlong were his subordinates, and had their heads sticking out of the car windows.

Yuan Tianxing smilingly nodded and said, “Ah, yeah, very strange indeed! But, we’ve already been shocked about half a month ago. Alright, we should head back.”

After saying that, he patted Xiao Yunlong on his shoulder, then turned and got into the car. Du Yuanxing and the others instantly came back into the car as well. Then, the car was started and turned around.

Xiao Yunlong was left stunned, as he could scarcely believe what he had just heard.

“I think we should go back and fix our world view…” He turned to look at his subordinates in the car and said, the latter all nodding in response.

At that point, Yuan Tianxing’s car was turned around and stopped by his side.

“Chief Xiao, I hope that you won’t tell anyone else about Lili for now. I believe that in the near future, everyone will find out about them,” Yuan Tianxing stuck his head out of the car window and said to Xiao Yunlong.

Xiao Yunlong recovered from the shock and responded confusedly, “Near future? Why?”

Yuan Tianxing only smiled, but didn’t say a word before pulling his head back into the car. Then, the car was driven where it came from, raising a cloud of dust in its wake.

Xiao Yunlong watched Yuan Tianxing’s car drive away, then turned back to make another eye-contact with his people. After that, he got into his car.

“I think I need a moment of quiet!” he said.

…

In the space, Lin Qiao didn’t know how long it had been. She felt utterly uncomfortable, as her whole body was burning. The energy inside her head had been endlessly taken away by Viney, while a strange energy was entering her body.

Over time, she felt that a magical power was flowing into her body along with that strange energy.

If she were right, that power was a type of life-force.

That guess gave Lin Qiao a start. ‘It’s not the little one’s life-force, is it? Why is her life-force flowing into my body? Will anything happen to her if she’s sharing her life-force with me?’

Once she turned anxious, that life-force stopped entering her body, and so did the strange energy. Then, she sensed a sudden expansion of energy next to her, and right after that, the energy shrank.

As everything in the surroundings calmed back down, Viney’s vines slowly unwrapped her. Only one vine was left coiling around her waist.

She opened her eyes and saw the little person in front of her.

The little one had her eyes closed, her long hair spreading in the water. A faintly-colored crystal piece was disappearing before her forehead. To be specific, it was sinking into her forehead.

At that moment, Lin Qiao heard Viney’s voice, ‘Mama, you bring the little one go up. I’m so tired… I need to sleep…’

After that, Lin Qiao felt that both her and Wu Yueling were sent upward. Soon, their heads were out of the water. Viney sent them up to the water surface, then uncoiled them. Afterward, all the vines drew back toward the lake bottom.

Lin Qiao hurriedly put an arm around Wu Yueling, then supported her body with one arm while swimming toward the lakeside.

By the lakeside, Liu Jun was waiting for them with two large towels. As Lin Qiao walked out of the water with the little girl, she first covered the girl’s body with one towel, then put another towel around Lin Qiao’s shoulders.

Lin Qiao handed Wu Yueling to Liu Jun and said, “She’s fine now. Put her on a bed.”

Liu Jun took over the girl, but didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she looked at Lin Qiao with confusion. The latter was wrapping the towel around her body to dry herself. Seeing the look in Liu Jun’s face, she paused to look at her.

“What’s wrong?”

Liu Jun put his nose near Lin Qiao, then sniffed at her then said, “I feel… a little weird. Maybe something is wrong with my nose.”

Lin Qiao was confused by him. She raised an arm and sniffed herself as well, but sensed no strange smell.

“What is wrong? You look so puzzled.”

Liu Jun took a step backward and spent a short while staring at Lin Qiao and thinking. After that, she replied, “Um, your power has improved again! I feel that this rapid improvement isn’t really a good thing.”

Lin Qiao spent a moment to feel the energy inside her body, then nodded and agreed, “Yeah, my energy is getting a little unstable.”
