When Lin Qiao prepared to go and check the situation outside, then leave with Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing, Long Qingying suddenly noticed something by the lakeside and walked over with confusion.

As she moved, Lin Qiao turned to where she was looking at, then recalled that the wind-powered zombie’s body was still in her space.

“Is this…a zombie?” Long Qingying soon walked over and stood by the zombie’s body, asking a question.

“Eh? Isn’t this that level-four wind-powered zombie?” Du Yuanxing walked over as well. He soon saw the zombie’s body clearly and spoke with surprise.

“So, it is already killed by you.” He looked at the zombie body and said regretfully. Then, he raised his head to look around and found more strange things.

“Eh… what are those? Strawberries? Vegetables? And those piled over there are mutant pumpkins and potatoes, right? Eh…what’s your name? No, I mean…do you have a name? Hmm…I was trying to ask why you got these into your space. Aren’t you a zombie?” He was stunned a little when he saw the fruits and vegetables piled on the grass, so he even failed to organize his language well.

Hearing him, Long Qingying turned to those fruits and vegetables as well. She saw some strawberry plants among the grasses, and some vegetables, next to which was a hill-sized pile of giant mutant pumpkins and potatoes.

Lin Qiao walked to them. Seeing their face showing puzzles, she wrote on the notepad—’I killed that zombie not long ago, haven’t got the time to throw it out. All these vegetables and plants are edible for human beings. They’re that boy’s food.”

Long Qingying took over the note and read it, then was shocked. She stared at Lin Qiao with wide opened eyes while handing the note to Du Yuanxing.

“You feed him those? Aren’t you killing him? These are all mutant vegetables, and could turn him into a zombie!” Long Qingying said with both anger and disbelief.

Lin Qiao shook her head and wrote—’That’s not true. These are all virus-free. That boy has been eating these for days. Doesn’t he look healthy even now?’

After handing the note to Long Qingying, she pointed at Junjun.

“How can it be possible!” Both Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying stared at Lin Qiao, then turned to the little boy. Due to the far distance, they couldn’t see him clearly.

Du Yuanxing had seen the boy’s face just now. Even though he felt that the boy wasn’t a zombie, he didn’t manage to see his face color clearly.

Lin Qiao turned to clap her hands toward Junjun, then pointed at the little boy and crooked her finger. Junjun knew her meaning, so she carried the little boy and slowly walked to Lin Qiao.

She could restrain herself when sensing the boy’s aroma, but the scents of the two strange human beings made her feel like drooling. However, her mind had grown stronger and clearer, so she could still control her desire of feeding on human beings.

As Junjun walked over with the little boy, Long Qingying looked at the back of the boy who had buried his face in the female zombie’s arms, feeling that the boy was very reliant on it.

She alertly walked to behind the female zombie to see the boy’s face. While keeping vigilance against Junjun, she started observing the boy’s face.

She found that the boy was little pale and scrawny, but his eyes were very clear and bright, and he was staring at her curiously and timidly.

The boy seemed to be less afraid of Lin Qiao after she cut her hair and started wearing the sunglasses. He widely opened his eyes, looking around silently.

The boy was really fine! His face was showing no sign of infection.

“Did you really feed him these…?” Long Qingying started to lose her composure as she was stunned, curious, and confused. She looked at Lin the little boy with a complicated expression, then at those fruits and vegetables, and finally at Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao nodded at her very patiently.

She wanted very much to go out at the moment, but Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing kept discovering things and asking her questions. So, she couldn’t help but write— ‘I prepare to leave now. I’m going out to take a look first, so you two stay here.’

She handed the note to Long Qingying, then patted Junjun on her shoulder and told her to go back to the small space.

Junjun immediately turned back and walked away from the two human beings with the boy, leaving the two with a confused look. Next, Lin Qiao turned around and vanished before their eyes.

She exited her space in the invisible state. Once out, she found Huo Wu, his people, and Yang Cheng, who stood by their side.

“Search carefully!” Huo Wu stood on a high stage, hands behind back and yelling at his soldiers who seemed to be searching for something.

“Yes, sir!”

Yang Cheng stood beside the stage, watching those soldiers searching around.

Huo Wu’s two fire dragons were hovering in the sky, pouncing on every zombie that attempted to approach. The zombies which were attacked by the fire dragons were soon wrapped in flame and incinerated into ashes.

“Why did they disappear? Was there any space-powered person?” Yang Cheng raised his head to talk to Huo Wu.

“I guessed so too. But, that space-powered person can’t possibly save them right in front of me without even showing his own face, can he? I saw nothing! God knows what happened!” Huo Wu barked angrily with a dark look on his face.

That space-powered person saved Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing from him without even showing up. But, no one had ever heard about any invisible space-powered person.

“Since they entered the space from here, that space-powered man will certainly appear here again. As long as we wait here, we’ll be able to find him. We can always catch him,” Yang Cheng smiled and said. However, neither of them noticed that an invisible figure had silently shown up and approached them.

Lin Qiao was planning to leave right after she came out. But when she saw Yang Cheng, she had a different idea. So, she jumped directly into action.

Yang Cheng had no idea that a hand was slowly reaching toward him. He was wondering if Huo Wu had killed Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing or not. He only knew that the two people had disappeared, but didn’t know if they were dead or just injured.

However, as Huo Wu seemed to be so wrathful at the moment, he didn’t dare to ask him about that. If Huo Wu were infuriated, he would suffer too.

At that point, an invisible hand reached under his arm. Next, the hand suddenly turned visible and swiftly grabbed his arm.

In the next second, Yang Cheng disappeared right next to Huo Wu’s legs.

“Eh?” Huo Wu immediately turned around as he found that Yang Cheng seemed to have moved. But after that, he didn’t even see a trace of the latter.
