“Was it good?” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked. The level-three zombie finished the piece of meat, then sucked his fingers. Hearing Lin Qiao’s question, he nodded.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Good! Alright, you go over there and don’t move.”

Next, she turned to the other two zombies who had their hands washed, then waved at the level-four zombie and said, “It’s your turn.”

“Roar…” The level-four zombie made a step backward with fear. As Lin Qiao’s expression turned a little cold, he carefully moved toward her. He understood that if the zombie boss lost her temper, he would be destroyed. However, the screams that the level-three zombie let out just now sounded so scary. He was really frightened!

Lin Qiao waited for him to come to her, then said to him expressionlessly, “Reach out your hand.”

The level-four zombie reached out a hand.

Lin Qiao looked at that dirty hand and said, “The other one!”

The level-four zombie hurriedly switched to the washed hand, then closed his eyes and turned his face away. He didn’t even dare to look at Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao grasped his hand, opened her mouth, and made a bite.

“Er… roar…” As same as the level-three zombie, the level-four burst in a loud roar. Meanwhile, he also released a cloud of cold mist. With that, the surrounding air temperature immediately dropped by twenty degrees.

The zombie had ice power, and his superpower erupted as he was bitten.

Lin Qiao made two steps backward, then raised a hand toward the zombie and crooked her fingers. Soon, she dispersed the cold mist before it turned into ice blocks.

“Roarrr…” The ice-powered zombie didn’t even notice his exploding superpower. He bent his knees in pain and knelt on the ground, then pressed both hands on his chest and started twitching.

Lin Qiao suppressed his superpower, then watched him kneel to the ground before rolling like the level-three zombie.

Half an hour later, the ice-powered zombie stopped moving. Soon, he opened his eyes and stood up.

Lin Qiao handed him a piece of meat and said, “Eat it!”

The ice-powered zombie had watched what just happened to the level-three zombie, but he was still confused. However, he automatically followed Lin Qiao’s words.

After making the first bite of the roe deer meat, the zombie paused slightly. Then, he wore a surprised and puzzled look, like a child who had unexpectedly found some delicious snacks.

Lin Qiao turned and looked at the level-five female zombie, then told her to come over.

Seeing that the two who were bitten by their boss didn’t seem to be harmed, the female zombie was slightly relieved. She was still scared, yet she was aware that she wouldn’t die at the very least.

‘As long as I don’t need to die!’ The female zombie thought, clearly less frightened than the last two zombies. She obediently walked to Lin Qiao and reached her washed hand even before the latter asked.

Lin Qiao glanced at her, then opened her mouth and made the bite. Soon, she relaxed her bite and stepped backward.

After that, the female zombie burst in screams. As a raging fire rose from the zombie’s body, she raised a hand to suppress the zombie’s superpower.

All three zombies had been bitten by Lin Qiao. Suddenly, she felt as if she was doing some vampire ritual, which made the three zombies different from normal zombies.

Before long, the female zombie woke up. Lin Qiao handed her the meat and watched her eat it quickly. After that, she turned and walked into the house. She went over to the kitchen and fetched a cup of water.

She needed to rinse her mouth! She had bitten four zombies and one human being today! She understood that no bacterial infection could happen, but she still felt very weird.

When she came back, she saw that the three zombies were still standing there, their eyes fixed on the tray in Lu Tianyi’s hands. There was no meat left in the tray though.

They seemed to still be hungry. Lin Qiao knew that the meat she gave them had aroused their hunger. So, she turned and said to Lu Tianyi, “Give them half of the roe deer.”

Lu Tianyi promptly turned to do what she said.

Lin Qiao turned around, then looked at the three zombies and said to them, “You are different from the others now, so I’ll give you names. I can’t name you with numbers like how I named those back in the base. Let me think…”

She looked at the level-five female zombie, then at the two male ones, thinking about what names she should give them.

“What names do you prefer?” She thought for a moment, then found that she was too lazy to come up with three new names. So, she just asked the three zombies.

The original virus inside their bodies had been replaced by the virus from her. However, Lin Qiao knew that she had only changed their bodies, but didn’t allow them to restore their memories or remember anything from their human lives.

However, they could now understand her words better than before.

“Roar?” The level-three zombie looked at Lin Qiao confusedly.

Lin Qiao nodded, “Song? Alright, I’ll call you Song. One day, you might restore your memory and remember your real name.”

She walked to the level-four zombie, then looked at him and asked, “What about you?”

The level-four zombie thought for a moment, then uttered a roar, “Roar…”

“Zhong?” Lin Qiao looked at him with a weird expression.

“Roar…” The zombie corrected her with discontentment.

“Em… Cong?” Lin Qiao’s expression became even weirder.

“Roar…” The level-four zombie started losing patience. That was not the word he had said.

“Em… Chong, right? Alright, I get it, Chong,” Lin Qiao nodded. Hearing her, the level-four ice-powered zombie nodded as well.

Then, Lin Qiao walked to the level-five, female zombie and asked her, “What’s your name?”

The fire-powered, female zombie looked at Lin Qiao and hesitated briefly, then let out a gentle roar, “Roar… roar…”

“Jingyan? Em, great name! Alright, remember your names. When I call your names, you need to respond or I’ll kick your asses,” Lin Qiao clapped her hands as the three zombies all had gotten their names. She then looked at the others and saw that Lin Kui and Xie Dong were still watching aside.

Abruptly, she stared at Xie Dong and asked, “Do you want to have some meat?”

Xie Dong paused for a second, then figured out what she meant.

“As you just saw, my virus changed their body condition. Based on what happened to the first zombie that I bit, my virus won’t bring any bad effects. You can’t always live on my lake water, can you? I bet you desperately want some flavor in your mouth, right? Didn’t you see how much he enjoyed the meat?”

While speaking, she pointed at Lu Tianyi who was coming out of the house with a large tray of meat.

Xie Dong didn’t know how to respond. He wanted very much to admit that he did want some flavor in his mouth. Looking at the three zombies who now had names, he spent a few seconds thinking and then nodded.

They seriously enjoyed the meat just now. Was the meat really so good?
