“Just try it. Think about what you are now. You can’t eat human flesh, can you?” Lin Qiao coaxed Xiao-Xiao.
Xiao-Xiao looked at her and understood her meaning. She held the meat, but didn’t put it into her mouth.
She looked at Lin Qiao again and saw that the latter was smiling at her. Under her gaze, Xiao-Xiao finally put the meat into her mouth, but only after a short hesitation.
It did not smell awful, but she completely had no appetite for it.
“Look at him,” at that moment, Lin Qiao pointed at Lu Tianyi, who was on the other side.
Ever since she became a zombie Lin Qiao had gotten used to eating like a beast. She was surprised that Lu Tianyi didn’t mind eating like that either.
Xiao-Xiao glanced at Lu Tianyi who was enjoying the roe deer meat, then made a bite as well. She thought it would be firm and hard to bite, but unexpectedly, she easily bit off a small piece of it. The meat wasn’t as soft as tofu though; it was chewy and smooth. A faint sweetness spread in her mouth.
While chewing the meat, Xiao-Xiao showed confusion on her face. At last, she swallowed the meat.
“See, it’s not bad actually. You have turned into a zombie, so you can’t taste the blood flavor and the rawness of the meat,” Lin Qiao smiled.
Watching Xiao-Xiao make the second bite, she knew that her guess had been proved.
Her virus was indeed strongly effective!
With deep confusion, Xiao-Xiao finished the slice of meat and licked her fingers. After that, she reached out to ask Lin Qiao for more, who smilingly cut her a larger slice.
Bao Xiaoguo walked out from the living room and watched Xiao-Xiao eat the roe deer meat. All he had seen was beyond his knowledge, so he couldn’t even react.
That female zombie was eating a slice of raw meat! It did not look like human flesh. Also, a skinned dead animal was lying nearby. The other zombies were with them peacefully. What was happening?
Also, the female zombie seemed to be even more tremulous than him. Why? Could zombies be scared too? Was she a high-leveled zombie? She didn’t look like one. Ah, was she the ordinary zombie that the woman dragged out of the glass cubicle?
Why was she eating the meat of an animal? That was so weird! What exactly was happening? What was wrong with that female zombie? What about those two male zombies? What was this place?
Bao Xiaoguo felt that his brain was going to be broken by all the questions in his head.
“You seem to be very confused. In fact, I’m also curious about everything in this place,” A voice was heard from behind him.
Bao Xiaoguo turned around and saw a man standing by his side, watching the female zombie eating with great interest. The others on the scene were wearing the same expression as him.
All the others actually had their eyes fixed on that mysterious, pretty woman.
“Who… who is she?” Bao Xiaoguo murmured to ask.
“I only know that she’s called Miss Lu,” Leng Xuantong looked straight at Lin Qiao and answered Bao Xiaoguo’s question with a bland tone.
“Miss Lu?” Bao Xiaoguo repeated.
“Alright. Next, I should get out to bring your sister here,” Lin Qiao let Lu Tianyi handle the rest of the roe deer, then turned to Bao Xiaoguo.
Knowing that Lin Qiao was probably going to leave, Xiao-Xiao instantly went back to her and grasped her cloth with one hand, the other hand holding the meat. However, she didn’t stop eating.
Lin Qiao quietly glanced at Xiao-Xiao’s hand which was holding her coat; meat juice was all over that hand.
Seeing that, not only Bao Xiaoguo felt that the female zombie was timid, but the others also looked at her as if she was a child who was shy with strangers.
Lin Qiao sighed, then said to Xiao-Xiao, “I need to go out to do something. It’s inconvenient to bring you with me. If you are scared, just go and stay in your room.”
Somehow, ever since Xiao-Xiao woke up, Lin Qiao had been feeling an inexplicable connection between her and herself. It was like a subordinative relationship. She couldn’t tell what exactly it was.
Knowing that Lin Qiao had decided not to take her, Xiao-Xiao had no choice but to give up. She obediently nodded, then relaxed her grip, headed toward the building. Before entering the building, she turned back to give Lin Qiao a glance.
Lin Qiao walked in as well. She walked past the few who were standing by the door in a line over to the couch area. She sat there and looked at Bao Xiaoguo, who was walking in.
“Tell me, where is your sister? Or, do you have anything that belongs to her?” She leaned against the back of the couch and raised her chin to look at Bao Xiaoguo who was standing before the tea table.
“She’s in A-2 Zone in the outer base, Number.3 commoner residential area. This jade belongs to her,” Bao Xiaoguo hesitated shortly, then took a round-shaped jade pendant off his neck.
Xie Dong stepped forward and took over the jade from his hand, then walked up behind the couch and handed it to Lin Qiao. She took it over and looked at it, then put it under her nose to sniff at it. After that, she handed it back to Xie Dong.
Xie Dong gave it back to Bao Xiaoguo, who confusedly took it over, then looked at Lin Qiao.
“I get it. Just wait here! Oh, I wonder if you have realized that your body is different from before,” Lin Qiao stood up while speaking. Leaving one short sentence, she disappeared before the others.
“Different? How? Did she mean that I didn’t become a zombie?” Bao Xiaoguo glanced at the others bewilderedly. He had already known about that, so she did not need to remind him specifically about that.
Xie Dong, Lin Kui, and the other zombies weren’t able to talk, so, they didn’t answer his question.
“Your are awake. Haven’t you realized that?” Leng Xuantong looked at him and said.
“Awake?” Bao Xiaoguo looked at him in a daze. A few seconds later, he suddenly figured it out. “Are you talking about my… superpower?”
Leng Xuantong nodded. The others weren’t talking to Bao Xiaoguo, but had all been looking at him with curiosity. Clearly, they were all curious about his superpower.
“Re-really? Why don’t I know about that?” Bao Xiaoguo could scarcely believe it.
There wasn’t a big chance for people to trigger superpowers. Bao Xiaoguo strongly wished that he could trigger a superpower one day, so that he would never be bullied again. However, it had been years since the apocalypse, and not a sign of any superpower had shown on him. He had gradually lost his hope. But just now, someone suddenly told him that he had already had a superpower.
That didn’t feel real.
“However, I think you can’t have a strong feeling of it in this place. You need to get out to feel your energy,” Leng Xuantong smiled.
“Yeah… And this place is…” Bao Xiaoguo had already guessed some of it, but didn’t dare to say for sure.
This place was huge…
How could any space possessor have such a huge live space?
