Chapter 198: Zombie or Human

Lin Xiao looked at the two in the eye for over ten seconds, then turned back and walked to the chair nearby. Turning the chair over, she sat down in front of the two. She understood that the two needed some time to process what they had just learned.

Seeing that Lin Qiao took a seat, Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming relaxed a little. Without the pressure from her, their minds instantly became active.

In their eyes, Lu Tianyu looked exactly like a healthy human being, save for her eyes. Without seeing those eyes, no one would ever think that she was a zombie.

Which zombie could be so clean and healthy-looking? Well, Qiu Lili was, but they hadn’t met her yet. In fact, even Qiu Lili had thick dark circles under their eyes. Xie Dong looked more like human than Qiu Lili, but the two didn’t know that he was a zombie too.

‘Which zombie doesn’t eat humans? But this one saved us…And she can talk?’Kong Qingming’s brain worked relatively faster. He looked at Lin Qiao from head to toe and felt that she was nothing like a zombie as long as she kept the sunglasses on.

But, if she wasn’t a zombie, why were her eyes like that?

“What are you? Zombie? Human?” He asked.

She looked like a human being, but had a zombie’s eyes. She had zombie eyes, but acted like a human! He had never heard about any zombie like this! While asking the question, Kong Qingming made an eye-contact with Lu Tianyi and found that the latter had the same question in his eyes. Then, they turned to look at Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao looked and pointed a finger at them, then at her own head.

She wanted them to try figuring it out by themselves.

Lu Tianyi fixed his eyes on Lin Qiao while blinking. Meanwhile, he connected all the guesses he had.

According to what he found out before, Lu Tianyu had already died. So, it was indeed reasonable that she might have become a zombie. Her space power and the other unknown power were probably triggered after she became a zombie.

However, why did she still have her humanity and consciousness after dying and turning into a zombie? And, she just ate a strawberry. Which zombie would eat strawberries!

If she weren’t a zombie, why were her eyes look like that? And where did she get this space?

All these puzzles kept spinning in Lu Tianyi’s head.

Lin Qiao clearly sensed his complicated feelings, as well as Kong Qingming’s. She wondered how Lu Tianyi would react on finding out that his sister’s body was now occupied by another soul.

She felt that she needed to make it clear with him, in case he really saw her as his evil sister and caused her some unnecessary troubles.

As they calmed down, Lin Qiao prepared to take out the clipboard to write to tell them that she wasn’t Lu Tianyu. But right at that moment, she sensed a strong vibe from the outside.

The look on her face changed as she abruptly stood up and disappeared.

The group of people outside was resting on stone stairs. Huang Shou was asking Xie Dong all sorts questions, and the latter was writing the answers down.

While he was writing, Lin Qiao suddenly showed up by his side. However, he didn’t see Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming coming out along with her.

Without saying a word, Lin Qiao grabbed Xie Dong and Huang Shou, then the three of them disappeared together. In the next moment, she reappeared and brought another two people into her space.

She moved very swiftly, appearing to be a little anxious.

“Eh? What happened?” The others saw that she suddenly showed up and disappeared without some of their friends. The ones who had entered her space before all knew that she was bringing people back into her space.

But, why didn’t she say anything? Why did she move so fast? What was going on?

Lin Qiao reacted fast, but her sensations to the outside world weren’t sharp enough just now, because she was in her space. After spending a few seconds to drag Xie Dong and some of the others into her space, she knew that the time wasn’t enough for her to save the remaining five of them.

‘Damn!’ When exiting her space again, she darted to the five and threw a kick toward the nearest one.

“Ouch! You kick…” Only after he was sent flying to the side did Liu Jing, who suffered the kick, pop his eyes in shock and prepare to ask her why.

However, before he finished his sentence, he heard a series of thunder.

Following the rumbling thunders, an arm-thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky and landed on where the five were sitting.

After kicking Liu Jing away, Lin Qiao turned around and kicked the man next to her, and then, she turned again to kick the others. However, after witnessing her kick away two men, the rest quickly moved to avoid being kicked by her.

Seeing that, Lin Qiao made a sudden dodge aside as well.

As everybody got away, another series of thunder was heard, and more lightning bolts landed where the group of people was sitting. Just like that, four or five lightning bolts blew up the area with a radius of about five meters.

The ones who were thrown into Lin Qiao’s space were now looking at their two bosses with confusion. However, they found that their bosses were looking back at them in the same way.

“What’s wrong?” Judging by Lin Qiao’s movement, Lu Tianyi sensitively felt that something bad was happening.

“I don’t know. She just suddenly brought us here,” the puzzled Huang Shou responded, then glanced at Xie Dong. Xie Dong was with Lin Qiao, so Huang Shou guessed that he might know what was going on.

Xie Dong closed his eyes, but then found that he couldn’t sense a thing from Lin Qiao’s space. When he opened his eyes, he saw Huang Shou looking at him, so he shook his head.

The others were all confused.

On the outside, Lin Qiao turned back right after the dodge, then crossed her arms above her head.

Thud!

A giant figure showed up before her, with a palm swinging at her head. It was behind Lin Qiao, but she reacted fast enough to turn her body and defend herself when it attacked. Its claw which was aiming at the back of her head now landed on her crossed arms.

Bang!

Lin Qiao was sent flying backward, hitting against a wall and creating a hole in it.

“Roar!” The giant figure landed on the middle of the road, then uttered a roar toward Lin Qiao, who was now inside the wall.
