Zombie Sister Strategy

“Get up!” Lin Qiao said.

The young male zombie who was lying on Duan Juan moved slightly, then got up reluctantly. As the zombie finally got off her, the latter recovered from the shock slightly. However, before the zombie could stand up, his knees slid on the floor and then he fell again, his entire face buried into Duan Juan’s chest.

Why was she so unlucky? A zombie licked her face and bumped into her chest… Her heart was even aching…

Lin Qiao sighed as she held her own waist with one hand and lifted the zombie with the other. “Can you not pounce on any living human being you see?” She said to him, “You are not allowed to eat human beings from now on! If you want meat, I’ll give you meat in a while. But, you can’t eat humans anymore. Do you understand me?”

The zombie would be able to eat mutated animals like Lu Tianyi and the other zombies when his body fully adapted to Lin Qiao’s virus. That would take some time though.

The young male zombie looked at her, his eyes filled with confusion.

What human beings? He didn’t eat human beings. What were human beings? What did ‘meat’ mean?’

Lin Qiao’s blood allowed her to easily control the zombie. The zombie had upgraded under the effect of her blood, but clearly, he hadn’t regained his intelligence…

Duan Juan stood up bewilderedly and took a few steps sideways, away from the young male zombie. Standing on Lin Qiao’s other side, she asked while wiping her face, “Who’s this? Your new recruitment?”

Lin Qiao didn’t answer Duan Juan’s question, but stared at the zombie and yelled, “Have you heard me? I said that you are not allowed to eat human beings anymore… No, actually, you have to stay away from all human beings from now on!”

While speaking, she pointed at Duan Juan.

The young male zombie finally figured out what she meant. Ah, so, by ‘human being’, she meant that edible creature. He didn’t want to eat her actually. She smelt so nice, so he simply wanted to jump on her. She was so close to him, so he had no reason not to pounce upon her!

“Respond to me,” Lin Qiao glared at him with cold eyes.

“Roar!” Under that glare, the zombie automatically gave a roar as a response.

Hearing that, Lin Qiao wiped that cold look away from her eyes and said, “What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to stay in your room? Go back!”

The young male zombie was a little afraid of the cold look that Lin Qiao had on her face just now and her vibe. He didn’t want to leave, but still obediently stepped sideways. While moving his feet, he fixed his eyes right on Duan Juan who was standing beside Lin Qiao. From time to time, he sneakily cast a few glances at Lin Qiao as well.

“Move!” Watching him move like a turtle, Lin Qiao couldn’t help but hasten him. The zombie flinched, then instantly turned and started running. But…

Thud!

Duan Juan buried her face in her palm while Lin Qiao helplessly rolled her eyes to look at the ceiling. She didn’t understand it at all. He was a level-six zombie now, but he still fell to the ground all the time. Also, why on earth did he bump into the wall just now?

The zombie who had bumped into the wall seemed to feel nothing at all. He put a hand on the wall to steady himself, then kept moving with a confused face.

After that, Lin Qiao kept walking up the stairs together with Duan Juan. Meanwhile, she said, “That zombie showed up while we were near the entrance to the cave of those underground gorillas. He’s not afraid of me and Wu Chengyue, or Yun Meng and the others at all. He pounced upon Xiao Licheng once he saw him. He’s stupid though. I detected no blood scent from him, and I don’t know what power he has either. He seems to be special, so I brought him back.”

Duan Juan felt a lot better on hearing that Xiao Licheng had suffered the same as she did. “He pounces on everyone he sees. Is it safe for him to be here?” she asked.

Lin Qiao turned and gave her a glance, then abruptly laughed and said, “He didn’t touch Xiao Licheng. He was only at level-five before.”

‘So, you suffered worse than Xiao Licheng did’—That was what she really wanted to say to Duan Juan.

Duan Juan stayed silent. She did not want to know about that!

Lin Qiao continued, “Didn’t I say that I detected no blood scent or hostility from him? I don’t think he has ever eaten living human beings. Actually, he probably never ate corpses either. That’s why I think he’s special.”

“I was… Will I be infected?” Duan Juan asked with a sullen look.

She didn’t want to say the words ‘licked by him’. She was still worried though. That creature was a zombie, and his mouth was full of the virus, after all.

“Don’t worry. You’ll be fine,” Lin Qiao laughed, “Even if you are infected, I can cure you as long as you’re not dead.”

On hearing that, Duan Juan paused briefly with surprise. After realizing what Lin Qiao had said, she asked in shock, “You can cure the zombie virus infection?”

Lin Qiao nodded. She didn’t plan to keep that secret from Duan Juan. “I can,” she said, “But only I can do it.”

She figured that out when Lu Tianyi turned into a zombie. Lin Yu was bitten by her after he was infected but before he died, and he was healed as a result. Unlike him, Lu Tianyi had already stopped breathing before Lin Qiao could save him.

Also, her virus was able to devour the virus carried by the other zombies. Based on that and what happened to Lin Yu, she figured it out.

It didn’t even need to be proved.

Duan Juan slightly widened her eyes and looked at Lin Qiao as she said with surprise, “You have so many new abilities after you switched to a new body. I can’t believe that you can even cure the virus infection!”

Lin Qiao smiled but didn’t say anything.

As Lin Qiao’s assistant and the leader of her guards, Duan Juan lived in Base Number Two as well. She was the only human being who lived in Base Number Two, and knew all other zombies. None of them would want to eat her. But now, things were a little different. A new zombie, who was clearly a little dumb, was there.

At night, Duan Juan suddenly felt some extra weight upon herself while she was still in sleep. She automatically wielded an arm and pushed whoever it was off herself, then quickly flipped off the bed and sat upon him. Within a blink, she dragged his hands behind his body and locked those hands up with her power.

“Who are you!” Duan Juan sat upon his waist and knew upon feeling his cold skin that he was not a human being. That made sense though. Except for Wu Chengyue, Xiao Licheng, and the little girl, she was the only human being there.

“Roar…” The zombie struggled intensely. He was so strong that Duan Juan almost failed to press him down.

His roar confused Duan Juan. After all, all the zombies who lived in the building were able to talk. Why did the one underneath her roar instead of talking? Also, that voice of his sounded a little familiar.

Duan Juan stood up and turned on the light. Once the light was on, she recognized the zombie as no one else but the one who had licked her face earlier tonight!

“How dare you disobey Chief’s order!” Duan Juan glared at the young male zombie who had managed to sit on the ground.
