“Just now, you said that Tang He is dead. What happened?” Zheng Hao asked.

“He’s dead. He offended my people, and he brought himself to me. I had no reason not to kill him,” Lin Qiao curved her mouth corners in a cold smile. Under her sunglasses, a gleam of light flashed across her green eyes.

“You… To be honest, I can’t sense how powerful you are. Are you really able to kill him?” Zheng Hao looked at Lin Qiao with doubts. He might believe her if she said that Tang He was killed by that short-haired zombie dominator whom he saw earlier.

“I think she is,” Lei Cheng raised a hand toward Zheng Hao, then looked at Lin Qiao expressionlessly as he said, “No ordinary being can show up around us without being sensed by Erlei. That kind of skill might not be able to kill the metal-powered Tang He, but I feel that she has a lethal kind of power.”

Zheng Hao looked at Lei Cheng, then at Lin Qiao. Afterward, he turned and glanced at the people in masks behind him with confusion in his eyes.

The zombie king shook his head toward him, letting him know that he too didn’t sense that woman coming.

Lin Qiao sighed and said, “I can’t do anything to make you believe me. I’ve destroyed that robber’s body and absorbed his nucleus, so I have nothing to prove his death.”

Lei Cheng nodded, then waved a hand to her and said, “I believe what you said. But, if you pick up a battle against him and win, I’ll firmly believe that you killed Tang He.”

While speaking, he pointed at the zombie king behind him.

Lin Qiao looked at him with surprise, asking, “Why him? I thought only you have the ability to fight me.”

“It’s not like that. If you win against him within half an hour, I’ll know that you’re strong enough to kill Tang He,” said Lei Cheng.

“How does that work? The one behind you is only at level-six, isn’t he? Even though he’s a zombie king, there’s still a gap between him and a level-seven metal-powered man,” Lin Qiao scratched her chin and said without thinking.

Her words threw the whole group into silence, making them stare at her silently. The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. Even the mutated dog started bared its teeth with its hairs standing up.

“Are you surprised? Because I know what they are without needing to look at their faces and sense their vibes? Although their uniforms cover their zombie vibe, I can still sense it,” Lin Qiao touched her own nose while saying.

She didn’t need to sense it. She knew that they were zombies once she approached them.

“Alright. Since you already know that he’s a zombie, you should know that zombies can fight higher level human beings. If you can make him defenseless within half an hour, we’ll think that you’re definitely able to kill Tang He. That, I believe,” Lei Cheng blinked and responded, as expressionlessly as always.

“Me against him? Hm… I don’t need half an hour. He won’t even last three seconds!” Lin Qiao curved one side of her mouth corners in a smile, giving out a wicked feeling.

She sounded arrogant. Those people and zombies couldn’t see her eyes, but they detected scorn from her smile.

Zheng Hao and Lei Cheng both frowned.

“So confident?” Lei Cheng looked at her.

“It’s not about confidence. It’s just the truth. Right, you guys?” Lin Qiao slightly lowered her head and raised a hand to take off her sunglasses. When she raised her head, Lei Cheng and Zheng Hao were a little stunned. Meanwhile, the four behind them took a few steps backward together.

At the same time, the three zombie leaders instantly knelt.

“Wowooooo!” The mutated dog suddenly gave a roar and sprung up, as if it was stimulated by something. It turned and ran away with its tail between its legs, disappearing within a second.

Lin Qiao released her vibe entirely when she raised her head. Not even zombie kings and queens could withstand the vibe of a zombie dominator, not to mention the fact that the distance between those zombies and her was very short. Therefore, the three level-five zombies directly knelt to the ground.

“Eh? I’m not dead yet! Don’t kneel before me!” Lin Qiao quickly moved to the side and said. She restrained her vibe again, then said to that level-six zombie, “Do you still want to fight?”

“Roar!” The zombie king hurriedly made a step backward, quickly waving hands toward her. ‘No, no! ‘

“You… You’re a zombie!” Zheng Hao’s eyeballs nearly fell out of his eye sockets. Even Lei Cheng, who had been calm the whole time, was staring at Lin Qiao in shock now.

Lin Qiao put her sunglasses back on and said, “I am a zombie. What? Is it weird? Aren’t you with zombies too?”

“Roar…” Before Lei Cheng and Zheng Hao replied, the zombie king behind them gave a roar. ‘But, we can’t talk!’

Lei Cheng and Zheng Hao couldn’t understand zombie language, but they could guess his meaning more or less. So, they both looked at Lin Qiao and waited for her to answer.

“What does that have to do with the death of that robber? I’ve already told you that I killed him, and you can choose to believe me or not,” Lin Qiao pushed her sunglasses slightly upward and said. After saying that, she turned and disappeared from where she was, as she didn’t want to continue the conversation.

Lei Cheng and Zheng Hao watched her disappear, then turned and ask that zombie king, “You seem to be really scared of her. Is she a zombie dominator too?”

Level-six zombies were called zombie kings and queens. After breaking into level-seven, they would become zombie dominators, which were even stronger than zombie kings and queens.

No zombie dominator had emerged from their base so far, but to their surprise, they met two of them in that new base which didn’t have many people yet.

“Roar!” The zombie king roared at him. ‘She’s even scarier than zombie dominators!

Lei Cheng didn’t figure out his exact meaning, but understood that Lin Qiao was a zombie dominator for sure.

“She’s strong enough to kill Tang He indeed if she’s a zombie dominator. Besides, she has no reason to lie to us, right? Tang He was her enemy, and was our enemy too.” Lei Cheng looked at where Lin Qiao disappeared from and said calmly.

“I can’t sense anything from her vibe,” Zheng Hao looked a little confused as he added, “And she can talk. That young zombie girl whom we met earlier can talk too. How did they do that?”

“About that, we need to go back to report to our base directors and see what they’ll say. We’ll talk about it by then,” Lei Cheng didn’t seem to be very interested in that.

“Can we go back?” Zheng Hao asked.

“Em, we’ll head back,” Lei Cheng nodded.
