After Lin Qiao retrieved the black mist, the area was found to have turned into a clearing. The area swept across by the black mist had nothing left in it: the vehicles, stones, and plants were all gone, and a layer of the ground was missing as well.

Lin Qiao glanced at the three men who were stunned at the moment, then looked around. After that, she gave Xie Dong, who was hiding in a corner, a hand gesture to tell him that it was safe, and signaled for him to come out.

Seeing that, Xie Dong came out and walked over to Lin Qiao.

“Eh, isn’t that Xie Dong from Block C? I think he had gone missing for long!” One of the three men recognized Xie Dong.

Xie Dong’s ears moved slightly, so he glanced at the three while walking up to Lin Qiao and recognized one of them. They had carried a mission together, but then they never reached out to each other again, because they didn’t live in the same area of the base.

That man’s name was Huang Shou. He was twenty-five years old, level-three with earth power. But by now, his energy should have run out.

Xie Dong lived in Block C, which was located in the outskirts of the Sea City Base, while Huang Shou lived in Block A.

Lin Qiao and Xie Dong walked to the three men, then quickly looked at them from head to toe. The three looked back at her with gratitude, then found out that Lin Qiao was a female.

She was wearing a hat and a pair of sunglasses. Her waist was slim, arms slender and snow-white. She had a camouflage coat wrapped on her shoulders that covered her chest, but it couldn’t hide the shape of her breasts. Her lower body was wearing loose-fitting camouflage trousers and a pair of combat boots.

She was in a military outfit, but wasn’t carrying any weapons.

The three guessed that she was a really mighty being, because except for heavy weapons, no regular weapons could possibly defeat the three zombie leaders.

Huang Shou soon turned his eyes from Lin Qiao to Xie Dong, then said with a slight excitement, “It’s you, Xie Dong! What a surprise! Why are you here in this zombie city? And this is?”

He pointed at Lin Qiao and asked. He understood that Xie Dong and Lin Qiao weren’t here to save them. They had just passed by and conveniently lent a hand.

Xie Dong nodded at Huang Shou, then pointed at his own throat and waved a hand. Huang Shou looked at him and asked with confusion, “What happened to your throat? Can’t you talk?”

Xie Dong shook his head.

Lin Qiao turned and walked to the zombie head on the ground. She then squatted and released a wisp of black mist that coiled around it. The black mist wrapped around the zombie head and soon devoured it, leaving behind a sparkling zombie nucleus.

After greeting Xie Dong, Huang Shou instantly walked toward her. Then, he glanced at Lin Qiao and asked, “Who is she? Her black mist seems to be powerful…Even two zombie leaders were scared away by it. I think she’s no lower than level-six, right? I don’t remember seeing her in our base. Where is she from?”

Xie Dong looked at him, then took out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket, writing down a sentence to show him.

‘Ask her yourself.’

The three didn’t know that Lin Qiao was a zombie, and Xie Dong wouldn’t tell them about that. But, how should he introduce her? Xie Dong had no idea about that, so he told Huang Shou to ask her himself.

“Ask her myself? So mysterious! Ah, where did she take our Captain and the others?” Reading Xie Dong’s note, Huang Shou paused slightly, then suddenly remembered that his other teammates were missing.

At that moment, Lin Qiao had picked up the zombie nucleus and disappeared from where she was.

Huang Shou was considering how to greet Lin Qiao, but before he did it, she disappeared. Then, he thought of something else, so he hurriedly turned to Xie Dong and said, “She…disappeared! We didn’t see her when she saved our friends, who had also disappeared. How did that happen? Does she have a space?”

Xie Dong nodded at him, remaining silent.

At that point, three figures showed up where Lin Qiao had vanished just now, then one of them disappeared again. Seeing the two who had suddenly shown up, Huang Shou burst in delighted yells, “Captain! Deputy Captain!”

Then, the three immediately walked to Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming who were just brought out by Lin Qiao, and hadn’t realized what had happened yet.

“Ah! Thank god, you’re okay!” Seeing that Huang Shou and the other two were still alive, Lu Tianyi was delighted as well. Huang Shou nodded at him, then took a deep breath as he blinked and said, “I almost thought that you were gonna die here!” He sounded like a survivor of a disaster.

Lu Tianyi sighed with relief and said, “As long as everyone is okay…”

Meanwhile, two more people were brought out of the space by Lin Qiao.

Lu Tianyi turned to look at them and saw a slim dark-green figure bring the two people out, then disappear in the next second. She was too fast, so he didn’t manage to see her face.

As more of their teammates were sent out, Huang Shou stopped talking. He, Lu Tianyi, and Kong Qingming watched Lin Qiao bring out the rest of the team.

Lin Qiao had to enter her space three times to bring out all the people in there. At last, she flashed across the air and showed up in front of Lu Tianyi, looking at him from two meters away.

Only until now did Lu Tianyi see Lin Qiao clearly. Soon, he knitted his brows and silently fixed his eyes on her face.

Xie Dong quietly stood behind Lin Qiao. Seeing the look on Lu Tianyi’s face, he guessed that he might have recognized Lu Tianyu’s face, but wasn’t quite sure, or couldn’t believe it.

“Oi, we’re out! Where’re the three zombie leaders?”

“Eh? This is where we were just now, right? What happened to the ground?”

“Boss…”

The others who were dragged out of the space by Lin Qiao quickly realized what had happened. They looked around alertly to confirm their safety, and only after that did they sigh with relief.

Then, they all saw Lin Qiao and Xie Dong.

Huang Shou put his mouth near Kong Qingming’s ear and asked with a low voice, “Deputy Captain, it’s her who saved us. Did you enter her space just now?”

Kong Qingming nodded at him, then glanced at Lu Tianyi and remained silent. The others had all noticed that Lu Tianyi was staring at Lin Qiao frowningly, and felt that it wasn’t so appropriate. After all, she had just saved them from the zombies.

At that point, Lu Tianyi suddenly wore a grateful smile and said to Lin Qiao, “You saved us…Every member of my team owes you a life! Please let us know whenever you need our help. I am Lu Tianyi, the Captain of Class Three, Agriculture Department, Sea City Base. May I ask your name?”

“Yeah, we all owe you a life! We’ll definitely pay you back with it if you ever need us!” Hearing Lu Tianyi’s words, the others agreed immediately.
