Lin Qiao didn’t plan to spend time explaining, and just left them alone to make the decision. She stood up abruptly and flashed out of the space, as she thought that it was time to leave this place. She wanted very much to kill the zombie king out there. However, it had a strong energy and great power, and her black mist could hardly hurt it.
Her claws wouldn’t work either.
She was able to sneak away safely though. Perhaps, she should leave the zombie king to Qiu Lili, or the two of them could fight it together.
But now, she had to explore the Upper City District, to find out if there was a second zombie king in this place. At the same time, she also needed to check the Lower City District.
Lin Qiao exited her space and showed up in the building where she had found Liu Jing and the other few. She looked outside and found that the coverage of the lightning had shrunk further. No more thunders could be heard from outside the building, and by now, the building was surrounded by zombies.
She blinked, then quickly turned invisible and ran upstairs. Reaching the second floor, she saw a tall figure rush into the lobby on the first floor from outside.
“Roar!”
While running, Lin Qiao glanced back, thinking that the zombie king really had sharp sensations. She didn’t think that it would dart over here so soon.
She had been in this building for just two seconds, yet the zombie king had shown up already.
The zombie king stormed into the building along with a wave of lightning bolts. The lightning coiled on its body buzzed and then exploded, sweeping across the entire lobby.
Boom!
However, the zombie king had no idea that Lin Qiao had run upstairs.
The zombie crowd gathered around the building. Looking down, Lin Qiao saw that the area one mile in radius was crowded with ordinary zombies. She had gotten used to flying across roofs, so in her eyes, these ordinary zombies were nothing.
She ignored the crowd of roaring zombies and directly leaped onto another building. Then, she looked around and darted out toward one direction.
To find the places with rich storage of supplies, she needed a map of special government departments. That kind of map could only be found in the planning bureau.
So, where was the Planning Bureau of Hangzhou City?
Thinking about this question, Lin Qiao paused on the roof of a building, looking confusedly at the zombie crowd which was moving toward the location of the zombie king. Later, she took out the two map books she had and began browsing.
As she had thought, she couldn’t find it. So, where should she find this Planning Bureau and get some internal information? Thinking that she had been running about without a direction, she felt a little speechless.
Silently, she squatted by the edge of the roof, counting the zombies down there.
‘Maybe the group of people in my space have the answer? Eh, both my brain and memory aren’t working as well as before ever since I became a zombie.’
‘Sigh, my brain is damaged, damaged!’
After mourning over her brain for about two seconds, Lin Qiao stood up and glanced at the zombie crowd which was continuously gathering toward the zombie king, then turned and entered her space again.
Once in, she saw that the group of people had moved to the furniture area. They were sitting on couches while surrounding a table, and were silently staring at the plateful of washed strawberries.
Lin Qiao walked over and found that those strawberries hadn’t been touched. She got closer and stood beside them while looking at them.
As she showed up, the group of people all turned to look at them. She remained silent for a few seconds, then bent over to pick up a strawberry and put in her mouth.
The group of people watched her finish the strawberry. After that, Lin Qiao smacked her lips, tasting the faint sour flavor in her mouth. Then, she rubbed her chin and wondered if salt would taste salty in her mouth by now. The strawberry should be sweet, but she only tasted the sourness.
The group of people gazed at her without even blinking. Lin Qiao looked them in the eyes for a few seconds, then somehow, she wore the same bewildered look as them. Xie Dong was the only expressionless one. Unlike him, Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming had been eyeing her with surprise.
Even though their looks were a little different, the three of them now shared the exact same thought—’You’re a zombie! Why are you eating strawberries! And, don’t smack your lips!’
Lin Qiao was pretty close to them, so she had surely sensed their thoughts. Silently, she glanced at Xie Dong and Lu Tianyi.
After that, she pointed at the strawberries and asked the others, “Not…eat?”
The group of people shook their heads together, but meanwhile, they couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
Before Lin Qiao showed up, they were silently controlling their appetite. But on seeing Lin Qiao eat the strawberry and smack her lips, their appetites were aroused again.
Finally, Xie Dong couldn’t bear watching all this. He turned and looked around, then found Lin Qiao’s clipboard on another table. So, he walked over, picked it up and walked back to the group.
Then, he took out a color pen and wrote—’Just eat, these are really safe! Earlier on, a little girl ate these for many days, and she’s still fine.’
In fact, he was a little not confident while writing the last sentence, because he had never seen the little princess again, and didn’t know how she was doing right now.
However, he believed that these strawberries were safe, because Lin Qiao had said so. Besides, she didn’t have a reason to poison these people.
As for why she saved them, Xie Dong didn’t understand.
Reading Xie Dong’s note, the others hesitated, but Huang Shou was the first to give in. Tortured by hunger, he chose to believe Xie Dong and Lin Qiao. He had survived the zombies, but he felt that he was going to starve to death if he didn’t eat anything now.
He sat straight and said, “I…I choose to die without starvation. We can’t get out or find any other food right now. If we get out, we’ll be eaten by zombies. So, I’d rather die comfortably.”
Lin Qiao rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms before her chest.
‘Who wants you to die? If I wanted you to die, why would I put in so much effort to save you?’
Xie Dong too rolled his eyes, then wrote on the clipboard—’Idiot! If she wanted you to die, why would she go through all the troubles to save you?’
Huang Shou quickly read the note and paused briefly, then murmured, “You’re right! So, these strawberries are safe?” While speaking, he took in a deep breath and reached out a hand. Before touching the strawberries, he paused slightly, then suddenly grabbed one.
He pinched it slightly and felt that it was like normal strawberries, just slightly larger. He looked at the strawberry, then glanced at the others and found that they were all staring at him.
Under the gaze of the others, he slowly put the strawberry into his mouth. However, before biting, he suddenly took it out.
A bit perturbed, he said to the others, “Why are you looking at me like that? If you want to know how it tastes, you should ask our Boss. Didn’t he eat some before?”
While speaking, he pointed at Lu Tianyi, who didn’t know what to say.
