Chapter 156: The Space Has Become Larger than Before

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

‘Poisonous mist? So it has poison in it, right?’ Lin Qiao thought for a moment. After that, in order to test her newly developed mist, she quickly ran to the other side. She reached out her hands, with her palms down toward a bush of grass.

‘Come out of my hands! Come out of my hands!’ She murmured in her head. Next, she sensed a warmth emerging from her brain and moving to her stomach, then to her shoulders, and soon reaching her arms.

Afterward, she saw a wisp of black mist come out of her palms.

The black mist flowed out of her palms, then slowly touched the grass down on the ground.

What happened next made everyone’s heart sink.

The black mist didn’t poison the grass, but made them disappear. Soon, the mist ‘bit off’ the grass like the mouth of a herbivore. Looking at the small piece of the grass which was ‘eaten’ by the black mist, Lin Qiao was stunned.

She didn’t think that the mist could actually devour things.

She took the black mist back, then squatted to look at the grass. The bush of grass now had a gap in it, as if a cow had taken a bite here.

The grasses didn’t stop disappearing after Lin Qiao took the black mist back. Instead, the grasses which were touched by the mist kept disappearing, and the grass blades surrounding them turned black, then rotted and disappeared as well.

The rotten circle had been expanding across this bush of grass. The further it went, the slower it spread. Lin Qiao guessed that the grasses would stop rotting when the rotten circle had reached a certain size.

The black mist had only touched the grasses within one-meter squared, but by now, the rotten circle had spread quite farther than that.

Lin Qiao was still squatting there. The poisonous mist didn’t seem to be able to harm her, but as for her shoes…

As she received a strange feeling from the bottom of her feet, she hurriedly stood up and drew back.

She was surprised to find out that her real superpower was the black mist. So, what level was she at? Wasn’t the space her real superpower? Or, did she have two kinds of superpowers?

She had heard that level-five zombies were able to control ordinary zombies. She didn’t have that capability before, so she wondered if she could do it now.

She raised her head to look at the sky, then found that it was morning already. But, was it the second day after she entered her space, or the third day?

She abruptly turned to ask Qiu Lili, “How long have I… em!”

While speaking, she felt that her throat was itchy. So, she cleared her throat and continued asking, “How many days have I spent in there?”

“Ah-ya!”

‘A night.’

Qiu Lili blinked her eyes and responded.

Lin Qiao turned her head to look at the few large turtles which had stopped moving. She couldn’t tell if they were all thrown into unconsciousness by Qiu Lili or were too scared to reach out their heads.

She suddenly remembered that she still had one turtle in her space. She wondered if it had managed to turn itself over.

Thinking of the turtle, she flashed into her space.

Once in, she felt something strange.

‘Why is it so large!’

The space was over three times larger than before. The grassland remained the same as before, and so did her strawberry plants and vegetables, Qiu Lili’s belongings, and the pile of furniture pieces.

Earlier on when she came out of the lake, she was focusing on her bald head and b*obs, so she didn’t notice the change of the space. But now, she discovered the woods behind the grassland!

Then, she found that the small space had moved backward!

‘Why did it move backward! Where did these trees come from?’

Lin Qiao turned to look at the lake, then grabbed a cup to drink from it. After saying a few words, her throat itched quite badly.

The cold water flushed through her throat along with the familiar energy, instantly easing that dry and itchy feeling.

She drank three cups of water in a row, then put the cup on the table. After that, she turned and walked toward where she had left that turtle.

She couldn’t tell if it were that kernel of the vine plant from the outside which made the space expand. If it were, the vine plant in the lake in her space should be like the soul or heart of her space.

She walked over and saw that the turtle was still there, lying on the ground with its head and limbs hiding in its shell.

It seemed that this turtle wasn’t able to turn itself back straight.

As the turtle didn’t run about in her space, Lin Qiao stopped worrying. Sensing its scent, she felt starving again.

Had she consumed too much energy last night when her body was healed? She ate a turtle yesterday, but she was hungry already.

However, she didn’t plan to eat the turtle right now.

She looked at the turtle by her feet, then thought for a moment and exited her space. She came out to send the turtles outside into her space one after another, then entered the space herself to turn the turtles over and put them together.

After that, she changed her shoes and went out again.

“Let’s… go… find… them,” she said to Qiu Lili and Junjun. Even though she was able to talk now, she could only talk slowly, word by word, because her throat hadn’t gotten used to talking. She tried talking faster, but as a result, she wasn’t able to utter any sound.

Talking slowly was great enough for her though, as she didn’t need to roar or write anymore. For the time being, she just needed to shorten her sentences as much as possible.

Qiu Lili was standing beside the devoured grasses and curiously looking at them. Hearing Lin Qiao’s voice, she immediately turned back.

Lin Qiao put on the sunglasses, then sniffed at where she came from. After confirming the location of Lin Feng and his people, she slowly led Junjun out of the woods. Qiu Lili flashed across the air and directly hopped on top of a tree. Then, she leaped out and disappeared without a trace.

Lin Qiao walked on the path which she came through, then raised her claw and swung across the air.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

All the branches and vines were cut off immediately, exposing the path. With her claws, she would never need a machete.

Soon, Lin Qiao and Junjun walked out of the park. Qiu Lili had already been waiting for them on top of a tree. Seeing them, she instantly leaped off the tree and came over.

As the scars on her face were gone, Lin Qiao now looked exactly like a normal human being with her glasses on. Unlike her, Qiu Lili and Junjun still had features of zombies.

There was no one in the town though. Except for Lin Feng and his people, the escaped Yang Jianhua was the only one who might be in this place.

Lin Qiao estimated that she was now able to pick up a fight against a level-six superpowered human being.
