Lin Qiao took a few glances down, then moved a few meters forward and leaped off the roof. She hid among the zombie crowd, showing her face and moving toward the group of human beings.
When she got close enough, she found that she actually knew the two at the front of this group of human beings. To be precise, it wasn’t ‘she’ who knew them, but Lu Tianyu.
Looking at the two young men whose faces were covered in dust but still looked handsome, Lin Qiao murmured to herself, “What a coincidence. Does fate bring me to them?”
One of the two young men was very familiar to Lu Tianyu: he was her younger brother. Lin Qiao had a vague impression about her brother from her memory. Her memory was messy, but on seeing the young man’s face, she still recalled him.
They were half-siblings. Lu Tianyu believed that her stepmother tore apart her family, so she never liked her brother who was mothered by that woman. They never got along; after the apocalypse, she didn’t want to have anything to do with her brother.
In the base, she always pretended not to know him.
‘Lu Tianyi, why is he here?’ Lin Qiao wondered. ‘And these people…are they caught by zombies?’
Lin Qiao followed the zombie crowd and moved forward along with Lu Tianyi and the others. She knew the young man beside Lu Tianyi as well. The young man’s name was Kong Qingming. He and Lu Tianyu were good friends, and he used to visit Lu Tianyi and his family, so Lu Tianyu knew him.
‘Where are these three zombie leaders taking them?’
Lin Qiao was sure that she could easily defeat a zombie leader now. Facing two zombie leaders…she believed that she could still win. If she needed to fight three of them, there would be no problem either.
And that was because she had the black mist!
She quietly released the black mist, controlling it with her mind. While splitting the mist into three streams and sending them into the three zombie leaders, she moved toward Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming.
“Where are these zombies taking us?”
“I don’t know…It’s weird…They didn’t eat us…”
“You seem happy…They didn’t eat us now, but they’ll eat us later when they arrive at their destination. Hehe…We’re really unlucky this time…”
Lin Qiao approached the group of human beings and heard Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingying talking with low voices. They had become two stunning-looking men. They had wounds and blood on their faces, along with dust and dirt; but still, Lin Qiao could tell how handsome they were.
Hearing Kong Qingying’s words, Lu Tianyi immediately showed hatred in his eyes. Through clenched teeth, he said, “Damn it! If I can go back alive, I’ll definitely destroy Wu Yueyun. The dirty bastard drew these level-five zombies to us and then ran away!”
Kong Qingming looked ahead while walking and responded with a tired voice, “Forget it…Do you think you can go back alive? You can dream about it before you die…” His eyes were lustreless and face expressionless. Every step he made forward made him feel that he was getting closer to death. But still, he didn’t understand why these zombies didn’t rush up to bite them, and made them walk instead.
The hatred in Lu Tianyi’s eyes faded when he heard Kong Qingying’s words. Then, he lowered his head.
Lin Qiao was mingling in the zombie crowd at the moment. The other zombies were all dirty and messy, but she was pretty clean. Actually, she looked quite different from the other zombies, yet the zombies didn’t care.
She wasn’t able to find out what the three level-five zombies were thinking, but could sense the thoughts of the ordinary ones around her.
‘Food…can’t eat…’
‘Leader…Food…’
‘Food…for…Leader…’
‘Food…can’t eat…eat…food…no…’
The thoughts of ordinary zombies were simple, but from them, Lin Qiao had caught an important message.
‘Leader? What does that mean? These three zombie leaders? Are they the dominators of this area? Is that why these ordinary zombies didn’t dare to eat their food?’
‘That’s highly possible. Zombie leaders are like lion kings or wolf kings. They are higher-positioned than the others, and they have rules for the others to follow.’
While thinking, Lin Qiao sent the black mist toward the three zombie leaders. The three had sharp sensations, which allowed them to sense the black mist when it was still about a meter away from them.
“Roar!” The zombie leader behind the group uttered a roar, then stopped moving. Hearing his voice, the other zombies stopped as well, all looking around alertly.
The three zombie leaders scanned around with their sharp eyes, then immediately spotted the black mist. As the black mist was approaching them, one of them swiftly waved a hand and raised a small-scale hurricane to dissipate it.
With the black mist being blown away, Lin Qiao lost control of it. However, she soon found out that it didn’t disappear. It was thinned out, drifting toward the surrounding zombies and soon drilling and creating countless holes in their bodies.
The ordinary zombies didn’t care about the holes in their bodies. Some of their limbs soon fell off, yet they had no feelings. But seeing that, the three zombie leaders immediately burst in screams.
“Roarrrr-Whooo!”
Their screams stirred the zombie crowd right away.
“Roar!”
“Roar! Roar!”
As the ordinary zombies around her began darting and bumping against each other, Lin Qiao quickly turned herself invisible and moved closer to the group of human beings.
Those ordinary zombies were agitated and began running about, but none of them got close to the three zombie leaders.
The group of human beings was confused by this sudden twist. They looked at those blustering ordinary zombies, then at the three zombie leaders which had them surrounded, having absolutely no idea about what was happening.
At that point, Lin Qiao sneakily approached Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming. She wanted very much to kill the three zombie leaders now, but as the group of human beings were defenseless at the moment, she decided to pull them into her space one by one first.
With some selfish motive, she went for Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming first.
She wasn’t like Lu Tianyu; she had younger brother and sister too. Maybe Lu Tianyu could probably watch Lu Tianyi die without saving him, but Lin Qiao couldn’t.
Since she had run into this group of human beings, she would certainly save them.
