Chapter 103: Are You A Zombie? Or A Human?

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

Lin Qiao looked around but didn’t see Qiu Lili, then recalled that the latter was a little afraid of human beings. So, she guessed that the latter should be hiding somewhere at the moment.

‘Who summoned this giant zombie crowd then?’ she wondered.

She didn’t move, and the people in the car didn’t dare to do anything either, as they were afraid of another wave of spiritual attack.

So, the battle paused momentarily.

While keeping vigilance against the people in the car, Lin Qiao had been trying to locate Qiu Lili. However, she didn’t sense where Qiu Lili was, but grasped the vibe of another zombie, which was very fierce, evil, and bloodthirsty.

Judging by the vibe, that wasn’t a good zombie.

She thought that the zombie crowd was summoned by Qiu Lili, but after failing to sense the latter vibe, she knew that she was wrong. She hadn’t detected any negative vibe from Qiu Lili so far since she met her. Qiu Lili’s vibe was as clean as her appearance, without any ferocity and thirst for blood.

Therefore, Lin Qiao now believed that Qiu Lili wouldn’t try to hurt these human beings. Besides, Qiu Lili had disappeared without a trace by now.

After sensing the evil zombie’s vibe, she roughly figured out what was going on.

These people came here for an unknown reason, and that evil zombie had probably followed them here. After arriving this area, it discovered that the wind-powered zombie was gone, and these human beings stopped.

Lin Qiao sensed the evil zombie’s strong desire toward these human beings.

It wanted to eat them all!

Lin Qiao turned back to look at Long Qingying and her teammates.

Once she turned back, Long Qingying and her teammates sensed a weird vibe. They found that the zombie in front of them didn’t seem ready to attack or to be alert. Instead, she stood there quite carelessly, as if she didn’t take them seriously.

They felt that they didn’t even exist in that zombie’s eyes. Du Yuanxing and his teammates glanced at each other, then looked at Lin Qiao from head to toe with confusion.

“Isn’t it targeting at us?” Asked Du Yuanxing.

“It’s so clean! It’s not showering a lot, is it?” The other man didn’t answer his question, but threw out another one while staring at Lin Qiao’s clothes.

“Yeah, she’s really clean… Except for those dark eyes, it doesn’t even look like a zombie!” Hearing his words, the others all diverted their attention to Lin Qiao’s appearance.

“Eh? That’s true!”

“And… Why is she carrying a rifle? Eh? And so many pistols tied around her waist and thighs. When did zombies start learning to use guns?”

Hearing the few men talking about her clothes and weapons, Lin Qiao couldn’t help rolling her eyes.

Long Qingying did the same thing.

After rolling her eyes, Long Qingying paused in shock; she saw the zombie in front of her slightly raise its head to look at the sky, as if saying ‘I’m facing a few idiots’.

She could scarcely believe what she saw.

Even the cold Long Qingying began losing composure.

“Em… Did it just show that despising look to us?” Du Yuanxing abruptly said that because he too noticed that look on Lin Qiao’s face.

All the others felt a little speechless at that moment.

Lin Qiao rolled her eyes again.

“It’s really despising us!” Someone said in the car.

The people in the car who had realized that they were disdained by a zombie strangely felt wronged.

‘Oh my! You’re a soul-less zombie! Why’re you making a human expression!’ Du Yuanxing shouted in his head.

Long Qingying raised her katana to the eye level, as she had lost her patience to continue having a stare-off with this zombie. She then parted her feet and prepared to attack.

Once she moved, the people in the car immediately came back to their senses. They now realized that they were all distracted just now, that they were actually paying attention only to the enemy’s clothes and weapons.

Right at that moment, the zombie in front of them suddenly took a step backward. It raised its left hand, palm down, then raised its right hand to put a finger against the left palm.

The zombie was apparently signaling for them to stop. They all paused subconsciously; then, Long Qingying turned back to look at the ones in the car, her eyes asking a question.

‘Is he…a human or a zombie?’ She asked her teammates with her eyes.

Earlier on, she had wrestled with the zombie on the car roof. Back then, she had realized that the zombie was using combat skills which weren’t something that zombies should master.

And now, seeing the gesture made by the zombie, Long Qingying had even started to doubt herself. She wondered if something had happened to her brain or her eyes that made her feel that this zombie actually looked like a human being.

The others looked back at her in confusion, then turned to Lin Qiao.

God knew if they were looking at a zombie or a man.

“You… Are you a human or a zombie?” A fast talker among Du Yuanxing’s team suddenly yelled at Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao felt speechless again.

She believed that she looked exactly like a zombie. She wanted to cover her eyes with a pair of sunglasses, but sadly, she failed to find any.

The man who asked the question without thinking now fell into silence. Sensing the others gazes, he quietly raised his head to look at the sky, then at the earth, and ultimately at his own feet.

‘You just tried to talk with a zombie. Do you think it can understand you? Are you expecting its answer?’ His teammates were merely staring at him, but he could hear them asking a series of question.

He could also hear them say ‘impossible’, call him ‘idiot’, and ask him if something was wrong with him. But soon, his teammates began to think that something was wrong with themselves as well.

That was because they saw that the zombie in front of them suddenly took out a notepad and a pen, and began writing. Du Yuanxing and his teammates widened their eyes in shock, but what happened next was even more unbelievable.

The zombie finished writing, then ripped the paper off, wadded it, and it threw at them.

The people in the car began to wonder if they were mad or if the world had become crazier. When did zombies learn to write? What was wrong with that zombie?

The wad of paper flew at Long Qingying. Lin Qiao was six to seven meters away from the car, so the paper wad shouldn’t be able to fly to them. However, she managed to throw it right into Long Qingying’s hands. Long Qingying caught it, her face filled with confusion.

As she caught the paper wad, the people in the car immediately fixed their eyes on her. They were very curious about what was written on the paper.

Long Qingying spread the paper and saw a line of clearly written words, as neat as a line of soldiers.

‘I’m a zombie, but I don’t kill people! Your target is behind you!’

After reading that, Long Qingying and her teammates turned back to look behind them, only to see an extremely ugly, short zombie squatting on a tree, staring at them fiercely with his dark eyes. They didn’t know when it had shown up.
