“Oh! There is hope!” Lin Qiao was delighted as she noticed the look on Lu Tianyi’s face. She hurriedly came up to the latter and fixed her eyes on him.
“How is it? How is it? What does it taste like? What about the texture?”
Only after he finished the second bite did Lu Tianyi raise his head to look at her.
The roe deer meat was smooth and chewy. It smelt strange, but tasted good. The longer he chewed it, the sweeter it tasted.
Lu Tianyi said that in his head, and Lin Qiao heard it all.
“Yeah? As long as you can eat it! I wonder if other zombies can eat it… It’s weird though… Why can you eat it? The other zombies all refused to eat mutated animals. Perhaps, only roe deer meat is edible for them?” Knowing that Lu Tianyi could eat the roe deer, Lin Qiao relaxed, then asked a series of questions.
While thinking, she turned and ran back to that roe deer and kept skinning it.
Lu Tianyi made another bite. He was also wondering why he could eat that mutated animal. It tasted really good!
While eating, he watched Lin Qiao skin that roe deer with confusion.
Lin Qiao skinned the whole roe deer, then cut off the other foreleg and the pair of rear legs. After that, she threw the rest of the roe deer to the snake.
“Here you go. Get us another one when you finish it.”
The snake quickly reached out its head, took over the skinned roe deer with its mouth, and then began swallowing it slowly.
Lin Qiao put the three legs on the roe deer skin. She glanced at Lu Tianyi, who was still biting the leg in his hands, thinking that maybe she could bring out the other zombies and see if they would eat the roe deer too.
With that thought, she immediately entered her space and brought out the young male zombie and two level-four zombies.
Lin Qiao ordered them to stand still, then picked up a leg, tore off a small piece of meat from it, and handed it to the young male zombie.
“Try and eat it,” she said.
The young male zombie confusedly took over the palm-sized piece of meat. As Lin Qiao told him to eat it, he was even more confused.
‘What is this? Is this edible?’ The young male zombie held the meat and looked at Lin Qiao bewilderedly.
“Why are you looking at me? Eat it! Come on, take a bite!” As the zombie was still hesitating, Lin Qiao urged him.
Being urged by her, the young male zombie put the meat under his nose and sniffed at it. After that, he showed dislike on his face. However, as Lin Qiao had told him to eat it, he didn’t dare to throw it away. With no other choice, he opened his mouth and took a bite of the meat, despite how disgusting he felt.
Seeing the disgusted look on his face, Lin Qiao knew what was going on. Meanwhile, she sensed the disgusting feeling that the zombie was having.
As she expected, the young male zombie couldn’t help but turn his head and spit the meat back out before even chewing it. Then, he looked at Lin Qiao with a bitter face.
“Roar!” ‘It tasted awful!’
Lin Qiao sighed, then took the rest of the meat away from him and handed it to the next zombie. That zombie sniffed at it, then put it back into Lin Qiao’s hands without daring to take a bite. After that, he made two steps backward, his face filled with dislike.
“Pahhhh…” The young male zombie was still spitting, as if the flavor lingering in his mouth made him really uncomfortable.
Seeing those zombies’ reaction, Lu Tianyi, who was still eating the meat, instantly stopped chewing, then confusedly glanced at the leg in his hands which now only had bones left, then at the young male zombie.
‘They refused to eat it! They seem to hate that meat. Why can I eat it?’
“I have the same question!” Lin Qiao turned around and glanced at Lu Tianyi, “Aren’t you all zombies? I thought they can eat it too as you can eat it. But, it turns out that I was wrong. I guess you’re as special as I am…”
While saying that, Lin Qiao suddenly realized something.
Lu Tianyi was bitten by her and then turned into a zombie, because when he died, he was not infected by the virus!
He was infected by the virus from her mouth, so now, he was in the same state as she was, wasn’t he?
‘No way! Really?’
The third zombie made no reaction at all when Lin Qiao handed him the meat. While trying to figure out why, Lin Qiao took the piece of meat back.
She glanced at the piece of meat which had been bitten by the young male zombie, then threw it away. After that, she squatted and washed her hands with the snow, then sent the three zombies back into her space.
Soon, she came out and found that Lu Tianyi had already finished the leg. So, she turned and threw him another leg.
“One leg isn’t enough, is it? Here you go,” Lin Qiao said.
She knew that he must have as good an appetite as she did back when she newly turned into a zombie. Back then, she was always starving, and once she started eating, she couldn’t stop.
Hearing her words, Lu Tianyi realized that he did still feel hungry.
Lin Qiao picked up the other foreleg, then leaned against a rock and started eating as well. The roe deer meat had a strange scent, but as Lu Tianyi had said, it was chewy. The longer one chewed it, the sweeter it would be.
Near the rock, Lu Tianyi and his zombie sister each held a roe deer leg with both hands, wolfing it down.
“Owoooo…” At that time, the zombie dog’s voice was heard. Lu Tianyi and Lin Qiao both turned and saw the dog running over, holding a roe deer in its mouth.
Lin Qiao looked at that terribly bitten roe deer and said with dislike, “You eat it yourself!”
“Ow?” The zombie dog glanced at her with confusion. However, since she had told it to eat the roe deer, the dog immediately dropped it on the ground and started biting it after lying down.
Lin Qiao swallowed the meat in her mouth and sighed, “Sadly, humans can’t eat these roe deers. Otherwise, I’d catch some of these and keep them in my space.”
She had sensed that the bodies of those roe deers thickly contained the zombie virus, so human beings couldn’t eat them. She wondered if her lake water could wash the virus away.
After finishing the leg, she washed her hands again with snow and said, “You guys wait here. I’ll go and get some of those roe deers, then put them in my space.”
Even though those roe deers weren’t edible for humans, she could keep some of them for herself, Black, and Bowwow. There were countless roe deers in this place, and she didn’t intend to waste such a good food resource.
This place was near Huaxia Base anyway, and catching some roe deers wouldn’t take too much time.
Lin Qiao made the job very quick and convenient. In the invisible state, she approached those roe deers very easily and caught them without even being noticed.
Even those roe deers had no idea that some of their friends were disappearing one after another. By the time they realized that, Lin Qiao had already thrown about twenty roe deers into her space.
