Chapter 465: Primary School Zombies

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The classroom wasn’t large. Over thirty double tables were placed in it, so Lin Qiao guessed that a class like this had about sixty students.

Every double table had a dead body on it. The bodies near the teacher’s desk were the oldest. The closer one got to the back door, the favorite area of bad students, the newer the bodies were.

The bodies near the teacher’s desk had already dried or turned into bones. The blood and flesh were long gone. The bodies in the middle of the classroom still had rotten flesh on them. Groups of bluebottles were buzzing around them.

Lin Qiao looked at those bodies. The ones near the teacher’s desk were already unrecognizable, but their ages and genders could still be told from the shapes of those skeletons. The ones in the middle of the classroom still had some clothes on, and those clothes partially revealed their owners’ identities.

The few bodies near the back door had decayed to varying degrees.

The floor was covered in dirtiness and blood stains.

Lin Qiao didn’t walk in. Standing by the window, she was able to see the few relatively new dead bodies clearly. Also, the odor from the classroom already made her dizzy.

The stink of the old rotten bodies had mixed together with the blood scent from the relatively new ones. Even Lin Qiao’s nose couldn’t tell which was which.

Therefore, she had no choice but to differentiate those bodies with her eyes.

The heads and chests of the few newer bodies were all ripped open. Each of those bodies had two bloody holes on it.

The time of death of those bodies did not exceed seven days. And, these people had died separately.

The level-five zombie in that classroom was lying on a man’s dead body, biting his skull. It bit his skull off bit by bit, then spat the pieces to the ground.

The zombie used to be a student at grade five or six, about twelve years old. Its mouth was covered in blood, and so were its claws which were holding the dead man’s head. Those claws were even died dark-red by the blood. The clothes on the zombie’s chest were also soaked in blood.

The man whom the zombie was eating looked in his late twenties. He died less than two hours ago.

His heart had already been ripped out.

The zombie created a large hole on the man’s head with its teeth, then reached its claw into his head. After that, it scooped out a chunk of tofu-like, pink matter, and then opened its mouth weirdly wide and put the tofu-like thing into its mouth.

The zombie chewed the pink brain matter quickly, then closed its mouth and swallowed it.

Lin Qiao watched the zombie enjoying its food with a frown while a stream of dark mist had already been released from her palm. The mist drifted down along her legs, then into the classroom along the floor.

The level-five zombie in the classroom didn’t seem to feel the dark mist from Lin Qiao as it was still eating. The zombie even put its claws which still had some brain matter on it into its mouth and sucked them.

When Lin Qiao’s black mist nearly reached the zombie’s feet from under the table, it suddenly paused. After that, he looked around with confusion.

The mist was around its feet, covered by those tables. Therefore, the zombie failed to see anything when it looked around for the first time. So after that, it started eating again.

But soon, the dark mist drifted to the zombie’s feet and quietly gathered into a thin, black string that coiled on its feet.

“Roar!” Feeing that its feet were suddenly wrapped by something, the zombie gave a roar with fright and then attempted to hop away.

However, the dark string dragged the zombie straight to the ground. Next, Lin Qiao waved her hand, and following her move, a huge cloud of dark mist appeared abruptly, gushing into the classroom through the door and the windows.

Seeing the thick dark mist, the zombie wore fear on its face.

“Roar!”

The zombie struggled up from the ground and tried to run. However, it fell back to the ground, as if a part of its legs were missing. In a panic, it lowered its head to check its feet and found that one of its feet was already gone.

Lin Qiao’s dark mist had devoured that foot.

When it fell back to the floor, the dark mist quickly devoured it.

“Roar!” This level-five zombie struggled up again. The mist devoured its skin and made it look like a skinned and burned person.

As a level-five zombie, it wasn’t devoured immediately by Lin Qiao’s dark mist.

The zombie stood up again, then slightly bent its knees and jumped out of a window abruptly.

Crack! The window glass was broken.

In just a few seconds, the dark mist behind the zombie was stirred a little, and a figure darted out of it.

Puff! A claw sank into the zombie’s back head and then swung violently.

Thud! The primary student zombie was thrown downstairs like a dead body.

Lin Qiao landed on the ground, holding a level-five zombie nucleus in his hand. Meanwhile, she raised her other hand toward the classroom upstairs.

Before long, the dark mist drifted out of that classroom and gathered toward her palm. At that time, the classroom had already been emptied by the mist. All those bodies, tables, and chairs were gone.

Lin Qiao waved a hand and sent a stream of dark mist toward the zombie’s body. The mist covered the body for three seconds, and then the body disappeared.

Afterward, she took the mist back and brought a cup of water out of her space to wash the zombie nucleus clean before putting it into her space. Then, she walked out of the school.

She had no idea about her current body condition. She had absorbed eighty percent of the energy contained in that level-seven man’s nucleus, but still sensed no changes of her body at all.

Even the energy in her brain didn’t grow stronger.

During her journey, every time she collected a higher-level zombie nucleus or mutated plant nucleus, she would make some time to take rest and let Viney absorb the energy.

She found that there were lots of mutated plants, but the ones which had grown consciousnesses and nucleus were rare.

From Hangzhou to Hui City, she traveled a thousand and two-hundred miles, but only met two mutated plants like that. However, she killed quite some higher-level zombies, including two zombie kings.

She killed them because they refused to follow her orders.

She didn’t want to spend the time and energy to communicate with those zombies, so she just killed them and took their nucleus.

She absorbed eighty percent of the energy contained in two level-six zombie nuclei, two mutated plant nuclei, and tens of level four to five zombie nuclei, and left the rest of the energy to Viney.

Nevertheless, not even such a giant amount of energy made her feel any improvement.
