Hearing him, Lin Feng could guess what had happened. It wasn’t the first time for the zombie lady to steal people away. But this time, he had to admit that the zombie lady had done a great job!

“Yeah, they were all tied up when they first came here,” said Mrs. Lin, “We didn’t know what happened.”

“Is Miss. Lu really a zombie?” Asked Li Zheng, “Why did she save us? She didn’t know us. You didn’t know that we were captured by Yang Jianhua, did you?”

“Yeah, I’m curious about that too,” said Mrs. Lin.

Lin Feng looked around and asked, “Eh, where is she? She threw us here, but where did she go?”

Lin Qiao had sensed that they were looking for her since long ago. So, she came out of the small space, then walked over.

“Are you looking for me?”

The group of people turned to her and saw the bald lady wearing a pair of sunglasses. If she didn’t have such huge breasts, they wouldn’t be able to tell if she were a man or a woman.

Lin Feng looked at where she came from and saw the entrance of the small space, getting distracted immediately.

“Eh? You don’t have another space over there, do you?”

Lin Qiao nodded and responded, “Yeah, what’s the problem?”

Lin Feng had never heard about any space within another space before.

He shook his head, then said to Lin Qiao, “Nothing. Um…we just want to know why you decided to save Li Zheng and his people once you saw them. Do you know that they know us?”

Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “I don’t. I just thought that Yang Jianhua’s enemies should be our friends. So, in order to make trouble for him, I saved these people. I didn’t know that you knew each other.”

Hearing her, Lin Feng turned back to say to Li Zheng, “Do you know that Tianxing and a few others went to Sea City Base? They went to find you, also to look for some helpers. However, you were captured by Yang Jianhua.”

“We left Sea City Base half a month ago,” said Li Zheng, “So, even if we didn’t run into Yang Jianhua the scum, Deputy Chief wouldn’t have found us.”

Lin Feng nodded and replied, “That’s true. But, why weren’t you in the base? What did you come out for?”

“Ah, I’ll answer that question for them,” said Mrs. Lin, “They came out to find us. They didn’t know our route, so they went to the city nearby. They searched for half a month, but didn’t find us. Instead, they met Yang Jianhua and his troops.”

Lin Feng sighed while saying, “Then, we have to wait for Tianxing to come back. How many people do you have in your team by now?”

After saying that, he turned to Li Zheng again. The latter lowered his head with depression as he sighed and replied, “Except for the four of us, Lin Yu is also alive. We don’t know if he returned to Sea City Base, or if he’s surviving out here alone. When Yang Jianhua found us, he wasn’t there. He might have hidden somewhere, so Yang Jianhua didn’t see him.”

“Lin Yu…He doesn’t have a power, does he?” Lin Feng thought for a moment, then asked with uncertainty, “I remember that you’re the only ones in your team who have powers. You had over twenty people, but now you are the only ones left.”

“Em, that’s him,” said Li Zheng. “The others have all died. We tried our best, but there were too many zombies during the journey. We also encountered a zombie leader. The others gave up their own lives to create a chance of survival for us.”

Li Zheng’s voice turned lower and lower, and his eyes dropped slowly.

Feng Yuming and the other two all wore the same sad look. As the atmosphere was getting sorrowful, Lin Feng made eye-contact with the others, then hurriedly changed the topic, “Ah, I almost forgot to introduce Miss. Lu to you. Do you know who she is yet?”

Li Zheng raised his head to look at Lin Qiao, who was standing aside and watching them. He nodded and said, “Yeah, she’s a zombie, although I don’t really believe that…”

Lin Qiao bared her teeth toward him and asked, “Do you need me to bite you?”

Looking at her four sharp canine teeth, Li Zheng asked her, “Aren’t you a walking corpse?”

“What’s the difference between a zombie and a walking corpse?” asked Feng Yuming, hearing which, the others all turned to him.

“Of course, they’re different?” Someone said.

“How?” Feng Yuming was confused.

“Walking corpses…Eh, well…walking corpses…”

The group of people suddenly found it a little hard to point out the specific differences. Walking corpses carried ptomaine, so the people who got bitten by them would turn into walking dead too. On the other hand, the zombies carried the virus, so the people got bitten by them would become zombies as well. They sounded really similar…

“Silly, walking corpses are afraid of the sun, and zombies aren’t. Zombies eat human flesh and chew human bones, but have you heard any walking corpse do the same? Eh, I mean, are you nuts? Is a walking corpse a real thing? Have you ever seen one?” said Lin Qiao.

The others couldn’t think of a word to say.

Looking at Lin Qiao who just called him silly, Feng Yuming sneakily poked Lei Yao, who was beside him, and said with a low voice, “Why do I feel that she sounds like our Chief? If Chief were here, she’d certainly say the same to me.”

Lei Yao glanced at him, then at Lin Qiao. He blinked, but didn’t say anything.

Lin Qiao glanced at the group of people, then continued, “You’re really into this topic. Don’t you want to know what Yang Jianhua is doing right now?”

Hearing that, the people turned to her immediately.

“We surely do! How did he react when you brought Li Zheng and the others away?” asked Lin Feng.

“He turned seven or eight guards into ice statues, then shattered them into ice pieces,” said Lin Qiao blandly.

“What?” Mrs. Lin popped her eyes and said, “He killed them just like that? Those were his own people! How could he be so cruel?”

Cheng Wangxue joined the conversation, “Mom, he’s just too good at pretending. He was never a good guy.”

“He was planning to attack you tonight,” said Lin Qiao, “and he was going to threaten you with these few people. But, I’ve saved them and ruined his plan.” While speaking, she turned to Li Zheng and his people.

“So despicable!” Said Mrs. Lin with a cold face.

Cheng Wagnxue gave a sigh and said, “Alright, Mom, you’ve learned what kind of man he really is. Someone will punish that scum.”

“He thought that you were kept in the hotel by Lili as her food, and he believes that Yuan Tianxing and the others have already been eaten,” added Lin Qiao.

Lin Feng and the others were surprised on hearing her, while Li Zheng and his people were confused.

‘Who’s Lili? Does this Lili eat people? Is she a zombie too?’ Wondered Li Zheng.

Seeing the confused look on Li Zheng’s face, Lin Hao, who had been staying silent till now, began talking, “Yes, just like what you thought. Lili is a zombie, a zombie queen, and she can eat people!”

The others just didn’t know how to respond to that.
