Once she said that word silently, Lin Qiao’s eyes were dazzled.

She was out!

She stood in the woods, a little stunned. It was the same place where she had entered her space from. The whole area was devastated by the level-five zombie leader.

She automatically glanced at the level-five zombie, and then immediately entered a state of alertness, preparing to defend herself and waiting for the zombie leader to dive down from the treetop.

However, she heard no noise when she looked upward.

The level-five zombie was still squatting on top of the tree quietly without making any move. It was as if it didn’t see her at all.

‘Damn! What’s going on? Is that thing blind? I’m standing right here, but why didn’t it pounce on me? It chased me so hard before!’ She wondered.

Seeing that the zombie leader made no reaction, Lin Qiao lowered her head to look at her own body. When she saw herself clearly, she paused in shock.

‘Eh? What the hell? How did I become like this?’

She was dumbfounded when she saw that her body had become like a transparent plastic bag. She raised a hand in confusion and disbelief, then popped her claws.

Her sharp claws popped out, even whooshing slightly through the air.

The zombie leader which squatted on the treetop lowered its head to glance where Lin Qiao was standing, seeming to sense something from the air. However, it saw nothing. Hence, it glanced around in confusion, then forgot about that slight noise.

Lin Qiao sensed its small moves, then raised her head to look at it. But, the zombie leader still didn’t discover her.

She was very pleasantly surprised as she realized what was happening now. She couldn’t believe that she had truly done it: she had successfully made herself invisible and then came out of her space.

Seeing this situation, she gently raised a foot to move to the side.

Crack!

She stepped on a dead branch. As the branch broke and made a slight sound, she froze immediately.

She looked up, and as she expected, the slight sound caught the zombie leader’s attention instantly. It widened its dark eyes which were sparkling with a weird red-light from time to time, staring at the spot under Lin Qiao’s feet.

It looked quite curious and confused.

Seeing that the zombie leader didn’t dive down immediately, Lin Qiao sighed in relief. It seemed that she should be careful not to make a noise, because she couldn’t tell if the zombie leader would swoop down directly to see what exactly was down here.

She gently took her foot back, then carefully observed the landform of this area. After that, she stepped on the thick grass without making any other sound. She turned back to see the Zombie leader, and after finding that it didn’t notice her movement, she kept moving to the side.

After making a few steps soundlessly, she glanced back and found that the zombie leader was still gazing at the spot where she broke the branch, so she sighed slightly in relief and turned back, leaving quietly.

After walking out on the highway alarmedly, she quietly ran further away for one or two miles, and then finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

After that, she began worrying again. She had managed to make herself invisible and escape indeed, but the zombie leader was still waiting there for her to come out of her space again.

And as a matter of fact, how should she make herself visible again?

Lin Qiao tried touching her arm and found that she was able to touch herself. But, why was she looking like a transparent plastic bag?

Did she need to re-enter her space and come out again?

She flashed into her space once she had this idea. The moment she got in, she found that her body was no longer transparent. She saw her black battle bruises, black gun, and her pale, bluish skin.

As her body had turned back the way it was before, Lin Qiao exited her space again.

And this time, she was visible as she had expected; her body was no longer transparent. It turned out that she had found the way to make herself visible again.

She decided to retry the invisible state, so that she could use that skill whenever she wanted in the future. After all, that was an advanced skill, and she needed to master it.

She re-entered her space and closed her eyes to sense the outside world. She kept her eyes closed and said ‘out’ silently; with that, she was out again.

After that, she lowered her head to find that she was again transparent.

Then, she came back into her space once again and opened her eyes to check herself. After trying for a few times, she finally figured the whole process out.

If she wanted to make herself invisible, she needed first to close her eyes in her space and sense the outside world, then bring herself out of her space by using her willpower while her eyes stayed closed. After that, she would become invisible to other creatures and would see her as a transparent figure. Furthermore, she would be released from the invisible state directly when she re-entered her space.

So, her eyes turned out to be the key!

Later on, she exited her space once again and brought out Xie Dong’s car. Then, she went back and showed up right beside Wu Yueling.

Earlier on, she had discovered another skill, which was being able to appear in any spot inside her space. That was the reason why she could directly show up by Wu Yueling’s side.

Seeing that she showed up suddenly, Wu Yueling widely opened her eyes, staring at her with curiosity.

Lin Qiao lowered her head to look at the girl, then gently held a hand of hers. After that, she pointed at the sky with her other hand, and then brought Wu Yueling and the rabbit in her arms out of the space.

They showed up in the car. After coming out, Lin Qiao put the kid on the front seat.

Wu Yueling felt that her eyes were suddenly dazzled. When she saw again, she found that she was in a strange place. She tightened her face nervously and looked around. After realizing that she was sitting in a car, she looked out of the window and saw the strange woods and the broad road outside the car.

Facing a strange environment, the little girl became nervous right away.

She straightened her waist and held the rabbit tightly while glancing around. Meanwhile, she began wriggling on her seat, and at last, fixed her eyes on Lin Qiao who sat beside her.

Seeing her like this, Lin Qiao understood that this kid needed some sense of security, so she bent slightly and buckled her up.

After that, she looked at Wu Yueling while trying to communicate with her by using sign language and speaking in her heart at the same time. ‘I brought you out to play, so you won’t feel bored in there. It’s alright, you’re safe here.’ Lin Qiao said to the kid.

Lin Qiao thought that she wouldn’t encounter as many zombies as she had in the city while driving here on this road, so it was relatively safer for the little one. Therefore, she decided to bring the girl out and let her see the outside world.

However, she didn’t expect the little one to react.

Seeing the little one’s tightened body, Lin Qiao gently rubbed her head, then sat back into the driver’s seat and started the car, preparing to drive.

The girl had autism, so the environment influenced her greatly. It was inevitable for her to feel nervous in a strange place. However, Lin Qiao couldn’t let the little one stay in her space all the time. More or less, the kid needed to come out to see some fresh things.
