At that moment, that man saw a cloud of dark mist behind Yan Fangyu. He couldn’t see the person inside that mist, but could hear her voice and tell that it was a woman.

Suddenly, Yan Fangyu froze, and a clear cracking noise was heard from her brain. Of course, that man couldn’t hear it. Only Lin Qiao, who had just taken her hand away from Yan Fangyu, heard that sound.

As Lin Qiao relaxed her grip, Yan Fangyu slowly fell forward, then thudded against that man who hadn’t managed to make any reaction yet. Her body was still tightened.

As she fell down, that man finally came back to his senses. He hurriedly pushed Yan Fangyu away and sprung to his feet, then drew back to a corner with fear.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Qiao didn’t say anything, but turned and walked to the door, reaching out a hand and pressing her palm on that alloy door.

Sizzle… Before long, the alloy under her palm melted into a hole on the door. The hole expanded, soon becoming large enough for a man to get through.

After that, Lin Qiao dropped her hand, then flashed across the air and disappeared along with that dark cloud of mist.

The deeply frightened man who did not know what to do was left in the room with Yan Fangyu, who was lying on the bed in underwear, face down and eyes unfocused. Blood was flowing out of her mouth.

About ten seconds later, that man finally came back to himself. While slowly moving toward the door, he turned back to observe Yan Fangyu, and found that she was still lying on the bed motionlessly.

The man moved to the door, then hurriedly got out through the hole and ran away as quickly as he could. He didn’t know if Yan Fangyu was dead or not. She seemed to be dead though.

If he had put a finger under Yan Fangyu’s nose to sense her breath before leaving, he would find that she was still alive. However, the energy nucleus in her head was already broken. As for whether she would wake up as a healthy person or as a brain-damaged one, only the people who found her would know.

After coming out of the basement, Lin Qiao left Sea City Base.

She came here to take care of that woman. She didn’t put her to death directly, so the deal that she made with Sea City Base couldn’t be counted as broken.

No one in the base knew that a female zombie had visited their base and left. Not even Wu Chengyue, who was busy reading files, knew that.

Two miles away from Sea City Base, Lin Qiao took the car out of her space. She also let Lu Tianyi out to have some fresh air.

It hadn’t taken him a long time to plant the tens of seeds. Therefore, when Lin Qiao entered her base, he told her that he wanted to come out with her, because staying in the space was too boring.

“Alright! You drive,” Lin Qiao let him out. She asked Lu Tianyi to drive toward Hunan province, because the Earth Dragon Base was located in Guizhou City, which was near Hunan.

“Owoo! Awooo…” The little tiger which was crawling all over the backseat howled in hunger.

It had been starving for so many days!

“Alright, alright, I’ll find you some food later!” Lin Qiao glanced back at it and said to it.

The little tiger’s injuries had mostly healed, and its body condition had been improved to a satisfactory degree by the energy in the lake water. So, it could start eating.

Lu Tianyi twirled and glanced at her. There had always been a puzzle in his head.

Lin Qiao turned and looked at him, then thought for a moment and said, “Do you think that the relationship between Lin Family people and me is weird? There is, of course, a cause.”

Hearing his words, Lu Tianyi first glanced at her with surprise, as he thought that she would say something to solve that puzzle. But unexpectedly, the female zombie only told him that there was a cause…

Weren’t those superfluous words? He surely knew that there was a cause!

He stared at Lin Qiao unhappily.

“Haha, you’ll know when the time comes. Right now, you may not be able to understand it!” Lin Qiao laughed, keeping him in suspense.

Lu Tianyi wore a speechless look.

After a couple of hours of driving, it got dark. The darkness of the night could barely affect the two of them, who had both become zombies. But still, they parked by a road near a river because Lin Qiao said that she wanted to have some meat.

‘She wants to have some meat? Human meat?’ Lu Tianyi looked at Lin Qiao confusedly. He couldn’t even believe what he had heard.

He thought that zombies could only eat human beings. Therefore, when Lin Qiao told him that she wanted to have some meat, he subconsciously thought that she was going to eat human beings. He was shocked, because he thought that she had already become good.

Lin Qiao sniffed around, then turned back and looked at him, “What are you thinking about? Am I that kind of a zombie which feeds on human beings? Man-eating zombies give out fierce vibes. Haven’t you noticed that yet?”

While speaking, she noticed the confused look on Lu Tianyi’s face, then suddenly realized that he had turned into a zombie not long ago. He had stayed in her space all these days, and those zombies in her space didn’t show any strong vibes. The fierce ones were killed by Lin Qiao long ago.

Those zombies that she kept in her space were selected by her. Over time, she had found out that the vibes that came from zombies could be divided into a few types, one for human beings, one for other zombies, and one for animals.

The vibe that the zombie dog had mostly came from the bloody scents from mutated animals. After all, it liked to eat animals!

The vibes of man-eating zombies usually contained a strong and fresh scent of blood. The zombies which hadn’t eaten human beings for a long time might attack other zombies, and even eat them. Those zombies were stinky, and no blood scent could be detected from them.

Those were the differences.

All those zombies that Lin Qiao kept in her space were stinky…

Occasionally, Lin Qiao would let them bathe in the lake water for a couple of minutes. So, they were less stinky now than before.

‘If you don’t eat humans, what do you eat?’ Lu Tianyi looked at her with disbelief.

“Wait!” While speaking, Lin Qiao opened the door and got out of the car. Then, she started taking off her clothes under Lu Tianyi’s confused gaze. Watching her take off her clothes, Lu Tianyi didn’t know what to say.

Lin Qiao took off her coat, then released a stream of dark mist from her body and wrapped herself up.

Lu Tianyi could only see those clothes which she threw onto the rock by the road one after another, and that cloud of dark mist which was following her to the river.

Then, he saw her jump into the river and disappear.

Lu Tianyi was so confused. He had completely no idea why Lu Tianyu went into the river.

To catch fishes? No way! Would zombies eat fishes?

Thinking about that, Lu Tianyi stuck his head out of the window to sniff at the river. As a result, he smelled nothing but a strong scent of water, which almost choked him.

He quickly covered his nose and turned his head away.

That area was all quiet. Maybe because it was a remote area, there were no scents of humans or vibes of other zombies.
