Chapter 192: Three To Go

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

The three zombie leaders appeared to be different from the others level-five zombies. They not only gathered together peacefully without trying to tear each other into pieces, but had been working as a team!

One of them stayed close to the group of human beings while the other two were looking around nervously and alertly. It seemed that if any enemy showed up, only the two would be fighting. The third one would stay with the group of human beings to prevent them from escaping or being saved.

These zombies were almost as smart as human beings.

The longer Lin Qiao observed, the smarter the three zombie leaders seemed. So, she concentrated herself.

The invisible Lin Qiao walked up to Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming. Fortunately, they were standing by each other’s side. Lin Qiao reached out her hands and pressed on their shoulders.

“Eh?” As they sensed something and turned their heads toward their shoulders which were touched by Lin Qiao, they saw a figure before their eyes and then their eyes were dazzled. After a blink, they found themselves in a different place.

Seeing the lake, Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming were both stunned.

“Qingming, are my eyes dazzled?”

“I think it’s an…illusion?”

“I was going to say the same. Do you think we’ll be back in where we were after a blink?”

“We might…”

Then, they turned their heads to look around confusedly.

After pulling Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming into her space, Lin Qiao flashed out immediately, pressing her hands the two men who were behind the two boys, and then the three of them disappeared together.

Lin Qiao moved swiftly and reacted fast. It was only by the time she had pulled the third batch of people into her space that the zombie who had been guarding the group of humans finally realized what was happening.

“Roar!” It roared out and pounced on Lin Qiao when she showed up for the fourth time and reached her hands toward another two human beings.

It was fast indeed, yet Lin Qiao was much faster. Before the zombie approached, she put her hands on the two people and then disappeared.

In just a few seconds, she had thrown eight people into her space. After Viney had fixed her face and upgraded her strength, she was twice as fast than before. Therefore, none of the group of human beings or the zombie leader who was guarding them saw her face clearly.

They only saw a dark-green figure flash across the air.

After pulling the eight people into her space, Lin Qiao went back out and left them stunned.

The zombie leader failed to touch Lin Qiao, so it gave another raging roar.

“Roar!” It stood where Lin Qiao disappeared, quickly looking around for a few times. But no matter how it tried, it couldn’t find the dark-green figure.

As it roared twice in a row, the other zombie leaders turned back and found that some of their preys had gone missing. They don’t know the exact number of their preys, but they were sure that some of them were missing.

They were smart, but they couldn’t do math!

Lin Qiao observed their reactions and found that all three of them were enraged. But still, they didn’t seem about to hurt the rest of human beings. Earlier on, she was worried that once she made a move, the three zombie leaders might get pissed off and decide to kill those people first.

By now, she had saved more than half of those people, but the three zombies still showed no sign of hurting them, only gathering the rest of them and having them surrounded.

Lin Qiao looked at the five human beings and sneakily moved toward them. She carefully stood between two zombies, then reached out a hand and grabbed a person’s cloth. After that, the person disappeared.

She didn’t reach out both hands because she could have accidentally touched a zombie leader by doing that.

As Lin Qiao stole another person away from them, the two zombie leaders near her reacted quickly. When she showed up, they immediately tried to claw her. But once again, they missed their targets.

Lin Qiao threw that person into her space, then came right back out and grabbed another person, disappearing again. The two zombies hadn’t even finished their first attack by that time.

“Roar! Roar!” As their preys kept disappearing, the three zombie leaders were infuriated. They started a hurricane, then raised a raging fire. The wind and fire mixed together, soon creating a fiery tornado that surrounded the three zombies and the last three people.

The fiery tornado looked awesomely cool, such that Lin Qiao couldn’t help but even want to give it a thumbs-up. But in the next second, she began worrying.

The three people in the tornado had started to yell for help. For now, she couldn’t save them with the old method.

“Help! Don’t…Don’t leave us behind! Hero! Help us!”

“Help me! I’m still here! I’m still here! Save me too!”

“Please! Please don’t leave the three of us behind!”

They saw their friends disappear along with a shred of shadow, so the three of them figured that someone had come to save them. However, before that mysterious figure could save them, the three zombie leaders had stopped it.

Lin Qiao looked at the three people in the tornado, then looked around.

Because the three zombie leaders were boiling with anger, the zombie crowd was gone. Clearly, those ordinary zombies were scared away, fleeing to the alley nearby.

As a result, this area had become empty.

‘They ran pretty fast,’ Lin Qiao thought as she looked around and found that Xie Dong was standing behind a wall a short distance away, looking at her.

She immediately made a hand gesture to signal for him to stay put and not move.

Then, she turned back and walked toward the fiery tornado. She made a circle around it but found no way in. Even though she was invisible, she could still be burned if she directly went through the fire.

After that, she glanced at the buildings nearby. The buildings weren’t higher than the flame, so she couldn’t jump into the center of the tornado from the roofs.

The three people spent a while yelling, then turned hopeless. They knew that no one could save them without killing the three zombie leaders.

Who was powerful enough to kill three zombie leaders at one time? Even a level-six superpowered human being couldn’t guarantee to win against a zombie leader. Only if the mysterious figure who saved their friends was a level-seven base leader, they might still have a chance to live.

However, they didn’t think that that kind of thing could happen. The Sea City Base had only three leaders, and important men like them wouldn’t possibly come here just to save a few nobodies.
