Chapter 211: Another one?

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

Lin Qiao glanced at Lu Tianyi with surprise. She didn’t think that he would flirt with her!

She didn’t believe that they were so close to each other. How could he make a joke like that?

Besides, she didn’t mind marrying all of them. The problem was—were they brave enough to marry a zombie?

Kong Qingming coughed slightly and said, “This is your space, so I guess whatever we do in this place, you’ll know, right?”

Lin Qiao picked up the clipboard, then nodded and wrote—’Are you afraid that I might see your bodies?’

She now understood that this group of people were getting a little bored in her space, as they had stuffed their stomachs.

Reading Lin Qiao’s note, Kong Qingming smiled. Seeing his handsome face wearing that evil smile, most ordinary women would lose themselves.

With that slightly wicked smile, he said, “We’re men, and you’re a woman. Of course, we don’t mind that. That won’t hurt us anyway.”

Hearing that, Lin Qiao wrote with an expressionlessly—’Go shower then. Take off all your clothes and wash them as well.’

Lu Tianyi felt that something wasn’t right, so he asked abruptly, “Wait a minute! Isn’t the zombie king dead? We can go out now, can’t we? And, what have you done these days out there?”

Judging by her tone of speaking, he felt that she would keep them in this place.

His question made Lin Qiao feel a little embarrassed. She couldn’t tell them that she just stole their Chief’s treasure, could she? If she let them out now, Wu Chengyue would definitely sense them, and soon after that, he would find them and ask the questions.

If that happened, she would be exposed, wouldn’t she?

She thought for a moment, then made up a story—’There’s another zombie king out there.’

“What! Another one! Wasn’t this the only one?” Hearing that, the group of people immediately wore bitter faces.

No way! Another one! The first one had nearly killed them, and now there was another one!

Liu Jing blinked and asked, “Perhaps, the two zombie kings were fighting and you suddenly showed up when the thunder-powered one was killed…Sister, you didn’t steal this zombie head, did you?

Hearing that, the others immediately looked at Lin Qiao with a different expression. If that were true, they would be eaten alive by the other zombie king once they went out.

Lin Qiao paused briefly, then quietly glanced at Liu Jing, admiring his imagination. What he imagined was almost the same as the truth, but with a different character.

The one she stole from wasn’t a zombie, but what would happen to these people wouldn’t be any better if they left the space now.

She raised a hand to give Liu Jing a thumbs-up.

The others cried in one voice, “No! You just challenged a zombie king, so how can you offend another one right after that?”

Lin Qiao silently turned her head. But soon, she carelessly shrugged and wrote—’What am I afraid of? If I want to leave, no one will know.’

Wu Chengyue was out there, but didn’t she leave without making the slightest noise?

…

Meanwhile on the outside, Wu Chengyue sat on a branch of a tall tree with his eyes closed, waiting quietly. He believed that the thief would definitely show up again. Even though he didn’t see Lin Qiao’s face, he caught her vibe which was released within one moment, and had memorized it!

He sharpened his sensations as much as possible. Once she showed up within the area five miles in radius around him, he would be able to sense her instantly.

However, he didn’t know that Xiao Yunlong and the others who were waiting for him in Binjiang District were now in trouble.

A figure was approaching them; it wasn’t tall, only about five feet, and quite skinny.

It looked like a fourteen-year-old girl with short hair. Even though it still looked like a human being, its movements were abnormal.

Half of her face was thickly covered in small scales, and so were her claws and bared feet.

Her eyes were faint green, with erect pupils within.

Those eyes were similar to the eyes of snakes, but not exactly the same. Dense black circles were under those eyes, looking like the eyes of pandas.

She was in a clean school uniform. Her upper body was wearing a white shirt, and lower body was covered with a knee-length black skirt. Her exposed lower legs looked smooth, and the scales on her knees were sparkling faintly.

A long tail reached out of her skirt, wagging along with her leaping movements.

She wasn’t wearing any shoes. She couldn’t even if she wanted, because her toes were crooked and with sharp, hook-shaped nails. Any shoes would be torn by those nails.

Despite her scary and weird look, her green eyes were filled with confusion and dullness, nothing else.

Abruptly, she paused on a tree on the roadside, put one hand on the tree, and sniffed around. After that, the confusion and dullness in her eyes were replaced by curiosity and interest.

She smiled as she happily leaped off the tree and began running on the road. She had sensed some nice aromas, and recognized it as the scent of human beings. The aromas told her that some human beings were nearby.

Among those scents, she sensed two different kinds of natural and refreshing aromas which made her feel so comfortable! She liked those especially!

The closer she got, the brighter her eyes shone.

Not far away from her, Xiao Yunlong and his people were resting in an abandoned residential area. They had cleaned off the zombies inside one building and found some relatively clean rooms to rest in.

At the moment, there was nothing for them to worry about, as all the zombies in the building had been killed, and the door on the first floor was closed. The ordinary zombies around the building didn’t know how to open the door, left only slapping and pushing it.

A few soldiers were guarding by the stairs behind the door. The corridor of the second floor was guarded by two squad leaders and about ten soldiers, and so was the third floor.

Xiao Yunlong was carrying Wu Yueling in a relatively tidy room he and Meng Yue had found. After his soldiers quickly cleaned the room, they walked in.

He felt rather magical, as Wu Yueling was actually willing to be carried by him! Did she finally admit that he was her godfather?

He was quite delighted these days, so he spent lots of time playing with her.

“Just let me take a look! Don’t be so stingy! It’s just a grass dragonfly. Let your godfather see it. Your godfather will certainly make you a better one.”

Xiao Yunlong sat in a chair, watching Wu Yueling hide the little toy behind her body and pop her big eyes as she stared at him alertly.

Meng Yue, who sat beside Xiao Yunlong, was working hard with a few green grasses. He tried but couldn’t make the same kind of grass dragonfly. A while later, she lost her interest and threw the grasses at Xiao Yunlong.

“You try…take your time. I have failed…”
