Lin Qiao looked at the six robbers who were all wrapped in Er’s blood vine, showing a cold look.
Er believed that Lin Qiao wouldn’t be able to take them down one by one as long as he tied them all together. He was right though. However, Lin Qiao was able to bring them all into her space.
Besides, she had Viney! Viney was her greatest weapon!
At that moment, a series of roars could be heard from the outside, as a great number of zombies showed up, slowly approaching this area. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao moved to stand beside Er. Maybe because he was too vigilant or his level was too high, Lin Qiao wasn’t able to read his mind no matter how hard she tried.
She glanced at the group of robbers, then flashed into her space.
“Viney, come out!” She stood by the lake and called Viney’s name. Hearing her, Viney soon reached a few vines to the lakeside and wrapped around her wrist.
‘Mama, Mama, did you miss me?’
Lin Qiao was a little speechless. Was Viney being affectionate to her?
“Yes, I missed you!” she said, “Here, I need to talk to you. Later, I’ll bring a few bad guys in here. Can you kill them for me?”
‘Eh?’ said Viney with surprise, ‘Mama, you’ve killed quite a few just now. Are there more to kill? ‘
“Yes,” said Lin Qiao, “I’m worrying that I might not be able to defeat them, as those people I’m about to bring in are too powerful.”
Hearing that Viney immediately got excited. She wagged the vines in the middle of the lake while responding, ‘Mama, don’t be afraid. You just bring them in. I can directly absorb the energies at or below level-seven! Viney is powerful now! ‘
“Level-seven?” Lin Qiao looked at Viney and said in surprise, “Can you kill level-seven superpowered human beings? Or even zombies?”
“No…” said Viney, “I can kill all level-seven humans… but not zombies… Level-seven zombies aren’t at the same grade as level-seven humans.”
Lin Qiao nodded, wondering if she could bring the Boss man in here.
She thought for a moment, then said to Viney, “Okay Viney, I’ll bring some people in here later. None of them is at level-seven, but two are at level-six. Leave the bald one for me. Don’t absorb his energy.”
She was worried that Viney might turn the bald guy into a mummy, like what she did with Yang Cheng. If Viney forgot to leave her the bald guy’s energy nucleus, she wouldn’t be able to obtain her second small space.
‘Sure, sure ,’ Viney replied.
‘Alright, I’m going out now. Wait for me ,’ Lin Qiao said to her before turning and flashing out of her space.
…
Outside, the group of robbers were staring at the gate. Boss pushed his glasses slightly upward while saying, “They’re here.”
A giant crowd of zombies had shown up outside the gate. By now, they were rushing at those robbers while roaring.
Back in the old world, this place was a remote villa area. This area was never densely populated, so there shouldn’t be so many zombies nearby. Boss guessed that this zombie crowd was brought here by a high-level zombie, which should be a zombie king or queen.
“The space-powered zombie seems to be a zombie king or queen,” he said, “While capturing us one by one, it summoned all these zombies from further areas.”
“Boss, I can’t feel it!” said Er, sounding a little depressed. He had always been good at sensing. But now, a zombie had been showing up around him from time to time, yet he felt nothing at all!
That was like a slap right on his face.
Boss glanced at him and wore a sullen look as well. “Everybody, be careful!” he said. “It’ll definitely spend a while if it tries to cut off Er’s blood vines to capture you. That span of time will be enough for you to fight back!”
“Yes, Sir!”
“Copy!”
The others looked around carefully, all on full alert.
Lin Qiao took a slight step toward Boss. However, as she was about a meter away from him, and prepared to reach out her hand, Boss suddenly turned to look where she was.
‘This is bad !’ She said to herself while noticing the gleam of light flashing across his eyes. She hurriedly took back her hand, then moved away as quickly as possible.
Then, she saw Boss swiftly swing his arm and sending a wave of metal blades to where she was standing a second ago.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Over a hundred two-feet-long, inch-wide blades fell from the sky and pierced into the ground. If Lin Qiao hadn’t dodged fast enough, at least twenty of these blades would have sunken into her body.
She was invisible, yet her body didn’t merge with the air. She still wasn’t able to go through walls. She couldn’t touch people either, because if she did, they would feel her.
Watching the metal blades stick into the ground, the Boss showed a grim expression. Just now, he did feel that something was in that area, and was pretty close to him.
Lin Qiao stood aside calmly while looking at him. By now, she had learned about this level-seven superpowered man’s range of sense toward her invisible state. Once the distance between him and her was shorter than a meter, he would be able to sense her. So, she wasn’t able to bring him into her space while he wasn’t noticing.
Fighting him would be impossible. She might have a chance to win against a level-six superpowered man, but fighting a level-seven one would be suicidal for her.
She turned to look at the others. As same as Boss, they had all been staring at those metal blades which were halfway inside the ground now.
Then, she avoided the others and walked toward the bald guy.
She stood before the bald guy, watched him look around in a panic. Abruptly, she curved her lips and showed a wicked smile. Next, she raised a hand to clasp San’s bald head, then whispered two words to herself.
‘All in!’
In the next moment, Boss’s eyes were dazzled, as everyone else on the scene disappeared all of a sudden.
In the space, Viney, who was waiting by the lake, reached out countless vines to tie the group of robbers up even before they realized what was happening.
“Ah… Where is this place!”
“I… I can’t move!”
“What is this place! Power… I can’t use my power!”
As the world before their eyes suddenly changed, the group of robbers panicked immediately.
Er’s blood vines slowly fell off from their bodies. Seeing that, Er was slightly flurried as well. While looking around, he tried to control his power and rip off the white vines wrapping around his body.
He saw a lake. He was standing by the lakeside, and those white wines were emerging from the lake. Apart from that, he knew nothing.
However, as the vice-captain, he soon calmed down. Before long, he found that even though the vines had wrapped him tightly up, they didn’t try to drag him and his friends into the lake. Besides, there were no thorns on the white vines. So, as long as their skin wasn’t broken, the chance of being poisoned would be small.
