Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao understood why the Boss ran. Just now, Qiu Lili’s strong vibe had spread out from a long distance away. The Boss felt it clearly and left because of fear, while the zombie crowd outside the villa suddenly quieted down and stood transfixed to the ground.

At that point, Grandpa flashed across the air and landed by Lin Qiao’s side, looking at the group of dead people on the ground with a mysterious look, his hands behind his back.

Lin Qiao glanced at him, then said, “These people can be killed. If you want to eat, these five are still edible.” While speaking, she pointed at the few who were killed by her. However, Grandpa’s face showed dislike, as he shook his head.

“No? Why?” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked curiously.

“Roar…” Grandpa gave a roar. ‘They’re ugly.’

Lin Qiao was speechless again, unable to think of a word to say.

Would a zombie actually think that some human beings were too ugly?

She then silently walked to the three captives and squatted beside the two boys.

She brought out a cup of water from her space, then turned the two boys around and forced their mouths open before pouring the water in. After giving each of the two boys three cups of water, she raised her head to look at that girl.

At that moment, the girl was sneakily looking at her. As Lin Qiao raised her head, they accidentally made eye-contact. The girl then clearly saw her purely black eyes.

“Ah!” She was frightened immediately, so she moved backward as quickly as possible while screaming.

She woke up upon hearing the noises from the outside. She thought that someone was here to save her, so she waited with both surprise and delight. Before long, she saw someone come in, rip the curtains off, and then disappear.

She saw a bald person that she had never met before. It was no one from her squad. Therefore, she didn’t dare to many any sound, but quietly watched Lin Qiao yank the curtains down and disappear.

Earlier on, she didn’t see Lin Qiao’s eyes.

And now, she saw Lin Qiao came back in to feed water to her dying friends. She didn’t know what that water was. And unexpectedly, Lin Qiao raised her head and showed her a pair of zombie eyes!

Lin Qiao glanced at her, then stood up and turned to leave. She saw that Grandpa was still standing beside those corpses and looking at them.

“You’ve been staring at them for a while. Are you really not going to eat them?” she asked.

“Roar.” Grandpa raised his head to look at her, responded with a roar. ‘No.’

“Then, why are you looking at them?” asked Lin Qiao.

“Roar…” roared Grandpa. ‘I’m sniffing at them.’

Lin Qiao was speechless again.

‘Grandpa, do you think that you’re a ghost? Can you be full after just sniffing at them?’

“Let’s go back,” she said. After that, she sprung out of the fence wall. Grandpa turned around to glance into the living room, then left with Lin Qiao.

After an hour of quietness, a group of people found this place with some difficulties.

They finally got through the zombie crowd outside and carefully arrived at this area. They thought that they would be facing a bunch of extremely violent and wicked robbers, yet after approaching, they heard no sounds from them at all.

After repeatedly confirmed the safety of this area, they climbed over the fence wall and saw those corpses that Lin Qiao had left in the front yard. Under that kind of situation, seeing dead bodies wasn’t scary, but running into living people was!

As they got closer, they recognized those bodies as the group of robbers. Except for their leader, all the other robbers were lying there.

“What… happened? They’re all dead!”

“The leader’s body isn’t here!”

“These few men look a little weird. Why do they seem to have been drained?”

“Look at these few… Their heads are crushed or cut open.”

They checked the bodies and found no biting marks and tearing wounds left by zombies.

“Did someone kill them?”

“That’s possible… There are wounds on their heads, but their hearts aren’t missing, and their brains are untouched. I don’t think it’s a high-level zombie who killed them.”

“But, these two are both at level-six. What kind of powerful being can kill them all at one time?”

“Get in here!” At that moment, the one who went in to check the living room suddenly ran out and yelled at the people outside. The group of people immediately walked into the villa and saw the three captives in a corner.

The girl was still curling in the corner, her arms around her knees. As the group of people came in, she raised her head to look at them. The two boys beside her still remained in the same lying posture as when Lin Qiao had left.

The group of people immediately came up and held up the girl and the two boys up from the ground, checking their bodies with concern. After that, they even wanted to kill those dead robbers again.

They didn’t dare to ask the girl about what happened. Seeing her dull eyes, they were worried that their questions might stimulate her. They had found them, and they were still alive. That was enough.

Anyway, the girl didn’t say anything.

…

Lin Qiao and Grandpa went back to the small hotel, and Qiu Lili showed up by her side.

“How’s it going? Did they run?” Qiu Lili asked with a silvery voice.

Lin Qiao looked at her and said, “One ran away, and I killed the rest of them.

Qiu Lili pouted and continued unhappily, “Robbers are the worst. They’re even worse than zombies! They eat people! And, they’re sneaky!”

Lin Qiao patted her on the shoulder and said, “You should just stay away from them.” While speaking, she walked toward Lin Feng’s room. Seeing that she seemed to be in haste, Qiu Lili asked, “What’s wrong?”

“We might need to leave this place. I’m going to explain the situation to Lin Feng,” said Lin Qiao.

Qiu Lili nodded and responded, “Alright!”

Then, she followed behind Lin Qiao with no interest.

Lin Qiao walked to Lin Feng’s door and asked Wei Jingchen, who was guarding outside, “Is Lin Feng in there?”

Wei Jingchen nodded, then knocked the door before opening it and shouting, “Great Captain, Miss. Lu is here.”

“Let her in,” Lin Feng’s voice was heard from the inside.

Wei Jingchen pushed the door open, then stood aside and gave Lin Qiao a gesture to let her in.

Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili walked in, seeing that Lin Feng, Mrs. Lin, Li Zheng, Lei Yao, and a few others were sitting around the tea table, with a map spread on it.

“Here, here, we’re trying to find a way from here to Upper City District. There’re many gas stations on the way. We need to find some gas.” As Lin Qiao came in, Lin Feng said to her without raising his head.

Lin Qiao walked to them and glanced at the map, then said, “We don’t need to look at the map for now. I think we should change our plan and go to Sea City Base to find Yuan Tianxing first.”

Hearing her, the others were puzzled slightly, then raised their heads to look at her with confusion.

“What? Did something happen?” Lin Feng asked.

Lin Qiao reached out her hand which was held behind her back; her fingers and palm were covered in blood.

“Something did happen… I just killed a group of people.”
