Lu Tianyi awkwardly covered his private area with a hand and raised the other hand to point at Lin Qiao. He opened his mouth to try to talk, but ended up realizing that he could not utter any sound.

So, he was dumbfounded again.

“You, I mean… Are you gonna put on some clothes or not?” Lin Qiao felt quite helpless. Normally, Lu Tianyi seemed to be quite reliable, but why was he still in a daze without being able to react this time?

Lu Tianyi covered his private area with one hand and moved the other hand which was pointing at Lin Qiao onto his neck.

Lin Qiao walked to him, then pressed the clothes against his chest and said, “You’ve died. Try and figure out what happened. Look at me, and you’ll understand.”

After saying that, she flashed out of her space, leaving Lu Tianyi in there thinking. Lu Tianyi held the clothes that Lin Qiao put in his hands, then lowered his head to look at them helplessly.

“Roar!”

Abruptly, a weird sound was heard from behind. He recognized it as zombie roar, but the strange thing was that he seemed to be able to understand it.

‘Newborn?’ ‘Our kind?’

‘Are they talking about me?’

Lu Tianyi turned and found a large group of zombie staring at him with curiosity. Seeing them, he suddenly figured it out.

He lowered his head again to look at those clothes in his hands, then quietly put them on. After that, he looked at his fingernails. As he thought, his nails had turned black.

In fact, the nails of ordinary zombies wouldn’t be long and sharp. Only the zombies at level-two and above would have that kind of nails.

However, the nails of ordinary zombies were purely black.

Lu Tianyi couldn’t see colors, but he was able to tell the strong contrast between the gray tone of his hand and the dark tone of his nails.

It turned out that he had already died and turned into a zombie! That made sense though. Before he lost consciousness, he had lost a lot of blood already. He had no idea how long after he passed out was he saved.

He assumed that by the time he was sent to Lu Tianyu, he had already stopped breathing.

However, he remembered that he was injured by a wind-powered man or by something heavy, but wasn’t bitten by any zombies. Why did he turn into a zombie?

‘I think I still need to ask Lu Tianyu about what happened, ‘ he thought. ‘Also, how have Kong Qingming and that woman been?’

After exiting her space, Lin Qiao sighed with relief. Thankfully, Lu Tianyi had woken up. His memory and sanity both seemed intact.

But then, the expression on her face turned grim.

“Lili, you go to Binjiang District to look for Yun Meng right now. After that, you two go and bring that level-seven wind-powered person back to me! If you can’t bring him or her back, at least figure out where he or she came from and who it is!”

“Eh? Now?” Qiu Lili paused for a second. She didn’t expect Lin Qiao to give her order in such a rush.

“Now. I think that person hasn’t gone far yet. You remember that person’s scent, so it’s gonna be easy for you to locate it. If you two can’t bring that person back, just combine your powers and kill it. But before that, figure out who that person is, where he or she came from, and what purpose he or she has. Do you understand me?” Lin Qiao nodded and said.

“I get it. I’m going now,” Qiu Lili immediately understood her meaning. She turned and walked out of the lobby, jumping straight into the action. As a zombie, she didn’t need sleep anyway.

“How’s Lu Tianyi?” Wu Chengyue and a few others stood up from the couch and asked eagerly.

Lin Qiao glanced at them with icy-cold eyes and said, “He has woken up. He’s a zombie now.”

The others glanced at each other. They accepted that answer, as they had guessed it long ago. They weren’t surprised at all.

The few people who had noticed the look in Lin Qiao’s eyes all felt that she must be very angry now. Even the air temperature around her was obviously low.

Abruptly, Lin Qiao looked at Wu Chengyue and said, “From now on, he’s one of us. You bring the other one back.”

Wu Chengyue nodded, as he understood her meaning. Lu Tianyi, who had already turned into a zombie, could no longer return to Sea City Base. He had no choice but to stay here now. Unlike him, Kong Qingming was able to go back to the hospital in Sea City Base to have further medical care after he woke up.

Sensing that Lu Tianyi was already fully dressed, Lin Qiao flashed back into the space. Soon, she brought him out. He was wearing some casual clothes.

He was still young and handsome, but his face was as pale as a piece of paper, without any tone of fresh blood. A deathly vibe that only zombies had could be sensed from him.

Fortunately, his eyes didn’t turn purely black, but still looked like the eyes of healthy human beings.

“You… You can’t talk now, can you?” Wu Chengyue looked at him and asked.

Lu Tianyi nodded, then glanced at Lin Qiao who was standing by his side.

“Just write down what happened then,” Wu Chengyue said.

Lin Qiao raised a hand and handed him a notebook and a pen as she said, “We ask questions, and you write down the answers.”

Lu Tianyi took over the notebook and pen, then nodded at her.

Wu Chengyue sat on the couch and asked, “Do you know where the enemy came from?”

Meanwhile, someone else brought a chair for Lu Tianyi to sit down.

He wrote—’The enemy was hiding in the darkness. We don’t know who it was, but it was a level-seven wind-powered being. We don’t know whether it was a human being or a zombie.’

He thought for a moment, then added, ‘The enemy was very careful. I think he or she didn’t want to expose himself. Zombies shouldn’t be worrying about that, so I guess that was a human being.’

“Qiu Lili, who saved you, said that it was a human being,” Yuan Tianxing nodded at him and said.

Lin Qiao asked, “Was the enemy targeting all three of you or one of you?”

She didn’t specifically point out whom that person might be, but the others all understood that it should be Yan Fangyu.

Lu Tianyi lowered his head and wrote down one word—’All.’

The people on the scene asked a few important questions, then confirmed that the enemy was indeed a level-seven wind-powered human being. However, no one figured out his or her identity and purpose.

As the group of people had finally asked all the questions, Lu Tianyi anxiously moved to Lin Qiao’s side. She glanced at him and figured out what he was trying to say. “Oh, that kid is fine. He won’t die.”

Lu Tianyi paused briefly, then sighed with relief.

He had been worrying about Kong Qingming since the beginning, but he was aware what was important and what wasn’t. He could have finished the report with a short speech if he was still able to talk, but by writing down all the words, he wasted a lot of time.

He could only wait until he finished writing all the answers before asking about Kong Qingming.

“That woman ran pretty fast. She didn’t care about you two at all. I guess she’ll run back to Sea City Base safely. So, you don’t need to worry about her either,” Lin Qiao continued to him, “From this day on, you can’t go back to Sea City Base. Just stay here.”

Hearing Lin Qiao’s words, Lu Tianyi wore a sullen face. He understood what she meant. He was no longer a human being, so of course, he couldn’t go back to Sea City Base.
