Chapter 125: The Two Join the Team

The invisible Lin Qiao felt that her body had become lighter and nimbler, allowing her to jump between the building roofs easily. She was now able to hop to the top of a lower building from a taller one which was seven or eight meters away.

She felt awesome, as if she were flying!

After a few leaps, she began to love this feeling.

Lin Qiao covered a long distance by moving fleetingly across the roofs like a human-shaped cheetah. Ten minutes later, she was already over ten miles away from Huo Wu.

A white figure soon caught up with her, but it wasn’t leaping around like Lin Qiao.

That was Qiu Lili, standing elegantly in the air. From time to time, she would flash across the air to change her location. And before long, she showed up next to Lin Qiao.

Down on the ground, two zombies were running after her.

Seeing her, Lin Qiao stopped moving. As Qiu Lili airily landed beside her, she crooked her finger toward the latter.

“Roar?”

‘Where are the two human beings?’

Qiu Lili stood beside Lin Qiao and roared to ask. Earlier on, she had seen Lin Qiao put Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing in her space.

Lin Qiao took out the notepad and wrote— ‘They’re going to Sea City with me to find some people.’

“Roar?”

‘Back to Sea City?’

Qiu Lili looked at Lin Qiao with confusion. ‘Didn’t you come to this place to find people?’ She wondered.

Lin Qiao nodded and wrote— ‘The people I’m looking for are heading to Sea City now.’

For that reason, she needed to go back. She wondered where Lin Feng and his family were at the moment.

“Ah-Eh… Er…”

‘Are you gonna take the two human beings with you?’ Qiu Lili asked grumpily. She didn’t like human beings, so she didn’t want two human beings joining their group. ‘I’m unhappy! We can’t play together anymore!’

Lin Qiao felt a little speechless as Qiu Li got emotional like a child.

Qiu Lili was powerful, but her state of mind continued to be like that of a teenager. Lin Qiao understood that Qiu Lili hated human beings, so she guessed that she needed to spend some time to convince her.

However, this might be an opportunity to make Qiu Lili accept human beings, and also make Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing accept the fact that there were special ones amongst zombies.

They wouldn’t hurt human beings, and they didn’t want to be hunted by human beings either.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then wrote— ‘They can help me. They’re providing me with lots of information.’

After reading the note, Qiu Lili was still unhappy. She pouted and turned her face, but didn’t make another sound. Lin Qiao smiled, knowing that she had agreed.

She leaped down the building, then entered her space and showed up right beside the two human beings. After that, she patted the two on their shoulders and took them out of the space before they could realize what had happened.

The two of them were startled and confused.

“Eh? Are we out? Eh… Where is this place?” Du Yuanxing reacted fast. He looked around and then asked.

Lin Qiao took out the notepad and wrote— ‘This place is over ten miles away from Huo Wu and his people. We’re driving to Sea City now.’

“Driving? Ah, you have got a car in your space,” Reading the note, Du Yuanxing immediately recalled that he had seen a light off-road car in Lin Qiao’s space.

A few zombies driving a car…

“Are you really a zombie? You’re not a human being pretending to be a zombie, are you?” He turned to look at Lin Qiao again, as he honestly felt that Lin Qiao was no different from normal human beings, except for the scars on her face.

However, lots of human beings had their faces scarred after the apocalypse.

Lin Qiao ignored him, disappearing right in front of him and Long Qingying. Soon, she brought out the car and a bucket of gas.

After filling up the car, she sat in the driver’s seat. Qiu Lili, who had been standing beside her, silently got in the front seat immediately.

It wasn’t the first time for Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying to see this young female zombie. Her clean and pretty white dress was very eye-catching, not to mention the fact that she was actually a zombie.

Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying glanced at each other. The latter was going to stay on the car roof; but before she moved, Lin Qiao handed her a note.

‘There’re zombies on the roof, you should sit in the car.’

Long Qingying felt a little speechless.

‘More zombies? Isn’t the other zombie sitting in the front seat already?’ She wondered. She thought that Lin Qiao was talking about Qiu Lili, so she glanced at her, who was sitting in the front seat, with confusion.

Boom! Boom!

Right at that moment, two noises were heard from the car roof.

Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing turned back to look outside, and found that two level-three or four zombies were quietly lying on the car roof, staring at them and drooling.

Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing felt that these two were definitely normal zombies, as their eyes were dark, and mouths were cracked. The two zombies lay on the car roof on all fours and stared at them as if they were two roasted ducks!

“Ah!” Suddenly, Qiu Lili uttered a scream, which awfully startled Lin Qiao and the two human beings. Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing felt that they nearly had a heart attack, while Lin Qiao was sort of getting used to that.

Hearing Qiu Lili’s scream, the two zombies immediate turned their heads away and sat straight, no longer staring at the two human beings. But still, they tried to glance at them out of the corners of their eyes.

The two human beings immediately got into the car. Sitting in the car, they felt a little less worried. But then, they began wondering if the two zombies would directly pierce their claws into the car and get them.

Lin Qiao ignored their thoughts and started the car, driving on another way leading to Sea City. With Long Qingying, she now knew which way Lin Feng and his family took. That was exactly the reason why she wanted Long Qingying to join her.

…

At the same time, back in the Sea City Base, Wu Chengyue returned to where he lived with his daughter, Xiao Yunlong and Mengyue.

Even as the accommodation of a base leader, his flat wasn’t luxurious. It was located in a three-story building. He had some fancy furniture pieces, but his place still looked way humbler than that of the other two base leaders.

The other base leaders had occupied either the best and safest house, or an entire floor of the nicest and cleanest building. Unlike them, he lived in this ordinary-looking small building with his daughter, Meng Yue, and Xiao Yunlong.

The three of them had been living together since the apocalypse. At the moment, they looked like good friends and flatmates, but in fact, their relationships were a little complicated.

Xiao Yunlong fancied Meng Yue, but Meng Yue liked Wu Chengyue. However, Wu Chengyue was all about his daughter, and had completely no interest in any woman. He had seen Meng Yue as his younger sister.
