Zombie Sister Strategy

Three days later, tens of miles away from Huaxia Base in a mountainous area in Xingtai City of North China…

It was snowing right now, and the sky was gray. A thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and everything was white.

It looked beautiful, but lifeless and cold at the same time.

The weather was so cold, so most animals wouldn’t normally come out. However, there was an exception—mutated flesh-eating roe deer.

Before the apocalypse, people used to call them silly roe deer, but now, they weren’t silly at all! It might be the virus or some other reason, but those roe deer were now even fiercer than wolves. They had grown sharp teeth, which allowed them to eat meat happily; they became sneaky as well. Moreover, they liked to attack people!

They propagated rapidly. Somehow, their number had increased several times over during the past few years. By the time Huaxia Base people realized that problem, the number of those flesh-eating roe deer was already out of control.

Many people who came out of the base were attacked and eaten by those flesh-eating roe deer, which had changed drastically after the apocalypse.

But this time, they weren’t attacking anyone, but were chased all over the mountain.

As a giant black snake, Black was very eye-catching in the snow field. However, it was able to silently approach those sensitive roe deer and pounce on them. Swiftly, it lashed its tail around a calf-sized roe deer, then dragged it down the mountain.

Compared with Black’s quick and neat surprise attack, Bowwow had been creating quite some noise. The furless zombie dog excitedly hopped across the snowfield. It even rolled in the snow from time to time while chasing behind those roe deer all over the mountain.

Lin Qiao and Lu Tianyi sat on a snow-covered rock, wearing thin clothes. They were waiting for the two to bring food back.

Before long, the giant snake dragged back a roe deer which was still struggling.

“Ah-hah! Silly roe deer!” Lin Qiao had her eyes glowing. She hadn’t tasted roe deer before. She quickly jumped off the rock and walked to the snake. The waist-thick snake was coiling around the calf-sized roe deer.

If the snake wanted to eat the roe deer, it could have slowly swallowed it. But instead, it brought it back to Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao walked over and grasped the roe deer’s long neck, then twisted her wrist.

Crack! Following the slight, muffled noise, the roe deer stopped struggling.

Lin Qiao sniffed at it, sensing a nice and sweet aroma. Good, it smelled delicious!

As the roe deer was killed, Black unwrapped it, then shrank to the side. It curled up and stopped moving there. The snake really didn’t like that place, as it was too cold.

Lin Qiao squatted and popped her claw, creating a hole in the roe deer’s stomach. With that, blood gushed out of that hole. She flicked a hand and took out a stainless bowl from her space, then put it under that bleeding hole.

After about ten minutes, the bleeding finally stopped. Then, Lin Qiao lifted the warm bowl of blood, put it near her lips, and drank it up.

Watching all that, Lu Tianyi was dumbfounded.

Not to mention how awfully metallic that blood smelt, there was a large bowl of it. He didn’t expect Lin Qiao to empty the bowl in one breath. Why wasn’t she worried that her stomach might explode?

Lin Qiao finished the bowl of blood and put down the bowl. Noticing the look in Lu Tianyi’s eyes, she tilted her head and said, “What? Do you want some too? Why didn’t you tell me that earlier? I’ve already drunk all of it.”

Lu Tianyi looked at her speechlessly and hurriedly shook his head.

He did not want that blood! Even looking at it made him feel awful. How could he possibly drink it?

However, Lin Qiao suddenly reached the bowl to him and said, “Smell it, feel its scent.”

‘What?’ Lu Tianyi looked at her with confusion. ‘What does she mean? Why does she want me to smell it?’

As he was having that thought, he suddenly sensed a strange scent. After a short pause, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

‘Eh? It actually doesn’t smell bad! It did smell metallic though!’

Seeing the look on his face, Lin Qiao blinked, then took back the bowl and quickly cut the roe deer with her claws to skin it.

She did that speedily and smoothly. In a short while, she skinned a foreleg of the roe deer, then slightly raised a hand and swung at it. The leg was cut off, and she caught it before it fell into the snow.

Holding that leg, Lin Qiao stood up and walked up to Lu Tianyi, handing the leg to him.

“Try it. See if you can eat it.”

Lu Tianyi looked at her with deep confusion. But next, as he took a glance at that leg, he suddenly fixed his eyes on it while raising a hand and taking it over with hesitation. Then, he put the leg under his nose and sniffed at it.

“You don’t hate its smell, do you? Try to take a bite then,” Lin Qiao said to him.

Just now, she suddenly realized that those zombies under her command had been drinking the lake water to maintain their body functions without eating any human flesh. She felt that that was not right.

If their desire for feeding was overly restrained, they might grow an even stronger interest toward human flesh in the future. That would not be good. However, those zombies refused to eat animals. How was she supposed to solve this problem?

But now, she found that Lu Tianyi seemed not to reject the scent of the roe deer’s blood. Perhaps, he could eat some roe deer meat?

With that thought, she immediately cut off a leg of that roe deer and handed it to Lu Tianyi, hoping that he would eat it.

Lu Tianyi sniffed at the roe deer leg and found it not as stinky as the large crab that Lin Qiao ate the last time. The roe deer smelt metallic as well, yet it also had a strangely appealing scent.

He looked at Lin Qiao and found her staring at him expectantly. So, he opened his mouth and took a bite of the leg.

He thought it would taste awful, so he was already preparing to turn his head around and spit it out. However, he was stunned after the first bite.

‘Eh? It doesn’t seem bad!’

Lu Tianyi paused briefly, then made a larger bite. After he turned into a zombie, his teeth had become very sharp. With those sharp teeth, he easily bit off a large piece of raw meat.

“How is it?” Lin Qiao asked nervously. She noticed that Lu Tianyi paused shortly after the first bite. Once she asked that question, she saw him make a larger bite and start chewing loudly.

Seeing that, her eyes glowed more and more brightly, as she was having a greater and greater expectation. But still, she didn’t dare to relax, as she was worried that Lu Tianyi might throw up after he swallowed the meat.

She waited for a while, then saw Lu Tianyi finish chewing and swallow the meat. He himself was shocked as well. Looking at the leg confusedly, he made another bite.
