Three hours later, as Leng Xuantong became more and more fretful, a dark figure quietly flashed into his balcony.
“Look, he’s here!” Lin Qiao turned that way and said.
Leng Xuantong gave a start and quickly raised his head to look at her, then followed her eyes and turned to the balcony. Seeing what was on the balcony, his entire body went frozen.
A dark figure was standing there; it had a pair of triangular ears and a thick, wagging tail behind it.
What scared him even more was that pair of beast eyes which were glowing with a cold light in the darkness.
“Don’t be nervous,” Lin Qiao put down her legs and stood up, then walked to the balcony and opened the door.
That figure quickly came in. His entire body was covered in fur, and gave out a scent of blood. His face had turned a little round, also covered in hair, looking exactly like the face of a panther. After coming in, the panther slightly flattened his ears and fixed his cold beast eyes on Leng Xuantong.
Leng Xuantong’s entire body became stiff. He couldn’t even control his limbs or breathe smoothly.
After coming into the flat, Lin Kui stared at Leng Xuantong with an intention of killing. However, he didn’t make any move. He knew that Lin Qiao was here for a reason. Seeing her, he realized that he might not be able to kill that human.
“Oi, this man is helpful… You can’t kill him. Besides, he was nice to you back in the institute. If you want to punish him, you can keep an eye on him when he works for me,” Lin Qiao walked over smilingly and blocked his eyes which were fixed on Leng Xuantong and contained a fierce murderous intention.
Lin Kui blinked, then turned his eyes away. He gave Lin Qiao a glance, then his fur started fading. After that, he untied his shirt from his waist and put it on.
Leng Xuantong’s heart nearly exploded when he was locked up by Lin Kui’s intention of killing. As Lin Qiao walked over, the zombie turned his eyes away and then disarmed himself. He even put on a shirt by himself!
The frightened Leng Xuantong didn’t manage to react on seeing the zombie dominator put on a shirt in front of him.
‘Eh? I think it’s not going to attack me anymore. But, why? And, how come he knows how to put on the shirt? Eh… this is not right. I think he just listened to that woman! Wait, wait, what on earth is going on?’
He was shocked at first, and then confused. As he finally figured out something, he was stunned again.
He abruptly turned to Lin Qiao, then at the man-like zombie who had put the shirt on. After that, he turned back to Lin Qiao with disbelief.
After hearing what that woman said, the zombie immediately disarmed himself. Why did that happen? Why did a zombie dominator listen to a human!
Lin Kui got dressed, then crossed his arms before his chest and walked to the window, leaning against the window frame. He was watching the complicated expression on the researcher’s face with great interest.
Lin Qiao was right. He remembered Leng Xuantong’s scent, and knew that he was one of those researchers in the institute. That man always looked at him quietly without saying anything or coming too close to him. For Lin Kui who was seeing as a laboratory rat, what Leng Xuantong did was not harmful.
Also, he had clearly sensed that among the group of researchers, that man wasn’t really interested in him. When the others forced him to hurt and eat human beings, he walked away.
That was why he saved Leng Xuantong to the last. However, when he saw Lin Qiao, he realized that he was not going to kill him.
Lin Qiao wanted him to work for her, and Lin Kui didn’t plan to disagree.
“See, this is why I said that you should really do your experiment in my place. You need to know that not all zombies deserve death. I know that you love your family deeply, so you don’t want to abandon them, even though they have become zombies. For that exact reason, I am inviting you to my base. At the very least, I won’t discriminate you,” Lin Qiao said to Leng Xuantong with a smile.
“Why… Why are you helping me?” Leng Xuantong looked at Lin Qiao with both surprise and doubt, then at Lin Kui who was quietly leaning against the window frame.
“Because my base needs scientific talent!” Lin Qiao answered his question smilingly, then turned to say to Lin Kui, “Alright, we should go. I guess the base is going to get chaotic once the sun rises.”
Then, she waved at Leng Xuantong and continued, “See ya! I’ll give you one more night to think about it. I’ll come to visit again tomorrow.”
Having finished talking, she and Lin Kui walked to the balcony together, then disappeared into the darkness.
‘Who the hell is that woman?’ Leng Xuantong gawked at the balcony.
Next day, the entire base was stirred again, because almost the entire research team was murdered. Even the security people were killed. Everyone who had worked with the zombie directly or indirectly was dead. They either had their hearts penetrated, had a half of their heads smashed, or had their throats broken.
Leng Xuantong was seriously frightened when he heard the news. The other researchers had all died, yet he alone was still alive. He would be in huge trouble!
They might not suspect him to be the murderer, but still, him being alive was way too suspicious! Therefore, before the soldiers could find him, he hid into his secret lab in haste.
Bang! In the conference room, Si Kongchen slapped on the desk with a grim face. He didn’t scold anyone because he was aware as a base leader that scolding would be useless under the current situation.
Over ten researchers were murdered. Every single one of those special scientific talents was under secret protection, because the base valued them very much.
In spite of that, they were still murdered. Not even a slight noise was caused when they died. That was, of course, not something that an ordinary being could do. Their secret bodyguards shouldn’t take the blame. Clearly, the murderer was extra powerful.
“Go and find out who did it! If you can’t find the murderer, you should kill yourselves!” Hong Yijie, a member of the board, yelled at his subordinates by the door.
Seven board members were sitting around the table, with Si Kongchen in the seat of the host.
Everyone was wearing a depressed look while a tense atmosphere was spreading in the living room. Even the group of Deputy Chiefs who were standing behind the board members and the Chief stayed absolutely silent. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
Hong Yijie was yelling at the squad leader by the door, but in fact, he was giving his order to those Deputy Chiefs.
“Yes, sir!” Behind him, Su Huali, who was responsible for the security, responded immediately, then quickly left the conference room to check out the scene with his subordinates.
