Zombie Sister Strategy

Lin Kui returned to All Beings Base the previous night. He stayed in his room for the night and sorted the pile of zombie nuclei he had, putting them in different bags according to their power level. Then, he put quite some level four or five, and a few level-six ones into another bag. The next morning, he put on some comfortable clothes and walked out with a bag.

Downstairs, he raised his eyes and looked at the sun which had risen not long ago. He put on sunglasses and got into his car, then drove to Base Number One from Base Number Two.

Qiu Lili, who was sitting on the edge of a roof with nothing to do, immediately noticed his movement. She watched him drive toward Base Number One and thought for a moment, then leaped on top of the other building and followed behind his car with curiosity.

‘We have no missions today. Where’s the big cat going? Lin Qiao is coming back soon. He shouldn’t leave now,’ she thought.

About ten minutes later, Qiu Lili saw Lin Kui park his car before an apartment building for human beings from a distance away. That was a commoner residential area. She had no idea what he was doing there.

Lin Kui parked the car and came out, then walked into the building while holding a bag. Qiu Lili immediately landed on top of a building nearby. Seeing Lin Kui enter the building, she landed on the ground and followed him inside.

At the first turn on the stairs, she saw Lin Kui standing there, looking at her. “What are you doing here?”

“What are you doing here?” Qiu Lili looked around with her large, red eyes. She wasn’t wearing sunglasses because no human beings were nearby.

“It has nothing to do with you,” Lin Kui said blandly.

“It’d be weird if it has something to do with me. I surely know it has nothing to do with me…” Qiu Lili looked at him and said.

Lin Kui didn’t know what to say. She was actually right. ‘So, what are you doing here?’ He looked back at her, repeated the question with his eyes.

“I… I’m just curious,” Qiu Lili said, “It’ll be okay if I follow you, right? I won’t get in your way.”

Lin Kui thought for a moment. If he said no, the girl would certainly follow him sneakily. Since she was curious, he decided to take her with him.

With that thought, he turned and walked upstairs.

“Why don’t you take the elevator?” Qiu Lili followed him and asked another question.

“Because I don’t want to run into anyone else,” Lin Kui moved forward expressionlessly as he answered the question without looking back at her.

“Oh… Which floor are we going to?” Qiu Lili responded and then asked the third question.

“The ninth floor,” Lin Kui turned and kept moving upward.

The buildings in that area were in good shape. Every building had twelve or thirteen floors, and the elevators were working. Climbing seven or eight floors might exhaust the commoners, but it was nothing for zombies and superpower possessors.

Soon, Lin Kui and Qiu Lili arrived on the ninth floor, then walked to a door and knocked on it.

“Are you here to see someone? Who lives in there?” Qiu Lili looked at every corner of the door and then couldn’t help but ask. Lin Kui didn’t answer that question but patiently waited for the door to be answered.

Qiu Lili didn’t mind that Lin Kui ignored her. After observing the door, she started looking around at the hallway and the other doors. She just could not let her eyes rest.

Before long, a series of light footstep sounds could be heard from behind the door, and then it was opened.

“Kui, you’re back!” Lin Jing wore a happy smile when she saw Lin Kui. She had been living a much better life than before since she moved into All Beings Base. She no longer worried about food and accommodation, and she now had a brother, whom she thought was dead, to rely on. Currently, she looked much healthier than before, not as pale and weak as she used to be.

Hearing her voice, Qiu Lili quickly turned back, her long ponytails flipping in the air.

Lin Jing had noticed Qiu Lili, who was standing beside Lin Kui. She paused briefly with surprise when she saw the girl’s red eyes and then guessed something. “Kui, who is this?”

Lin Kui turned and gave Qiu Lili a glance while answering Lin Jing’s question, “Her name is Qiu Lili.” After that, he stepped into the door, as if he were pretty familiar with the place.

Lin Jing and Qiu Lili were left at the door, looking at each other. Lin Jing reacted first as she said with a smile, “Um… Are you coming in?”

Qiu Lili immediately nodded, and also said politely, “Thank you, nice to meet you!”

Then, she followed Lin Kui into the apartment.

Lin Jing closed the door, then looked at Qiu Lili as she pointed at the couch with a hand and said, “Please have a seat! These furniture pieces are old. If you don’t find them not good enough…”

“It’s okay,” Qiu Lili instantly responded to her with a sweet smile. She was a clean freak, but she didn’t feel right to show that to the people whom she had just met. Thankfully, Lin Jing’s couch was old but still clean.

She sat down and started to turn her eyes between Lin Kui and Lin Jing with curiosity. “Are you two… brother and sister?” she asked. She observed both of them and then found them looking slightly similar to each other.

Lin Jing looked at her. As the girl seemed to be waiting for an answer, she said, “Didn’t Kui tell you about his relationship with me?”

The young girl had vividly red eyes, and Lin Jing easily guessed that she was not a human being. She couldn’t tell which level the girl was at though. Of course, she was not afraid of zombies anymore. The zombie girl showed up together with her little brother, so of course, she wasn’t afraid of her.

Qiu Lili shook her head, then said to Lin Jing, “No. I followed him here without his permission. You guys look alike.”

“She is my sister,” Lin Jing said to Qiu Lili. After that, he handed his bag to Lin Jing and said, “Take these!”

“Why did you bring so many to me again? Don’t you need to keep some for yourself? Don’t you guys need to absorb energy nuclei to upgrade yourselves or maintain your body functions? I don’t need too many…” Lin Jing took over the bag. Feeling the heavy weight of the bag, she said with a bitter face.

“Oh, so you’re here to deliver zombie nuclei! Hi, Sister Lin, I like your little brother! Can I be with him?” Based on Lin Kui’s movement and Lin Jing’s words, she immediately figured out what Lin Kui was there for. So, she asked that question without thinking, then looked at Lin Jing expectantly.

Lin Kui and Lin Jing were both stunned on hearing what she said…

“Eh… Eh? Are you saying that you are going to pursue Kui?” Lin Jing reacted a little quicker than Lin Kui did as she looked at Qiu Lili with surprise and asked her.

Qiu Lili nodded deeply.

At that moment, Lin Kui was still looking at Qiu Lili in a state of shock.

The surprised look in Lin Jing’s eyes made Qiu Lili feel a little embarrassed. She slightly dropped her head, then turned her eyes from side to side without daring to look at Lin Jing. Meanwhile, she replied, “Hmm… Yeah… because I like big cats… And… And…”

She didn’t finish her speech, but Lin Jing discovered something from the look on the girl’s face.
