Zombie Sister Strategy

Lin Qiao quietly looked at Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming, her eyes containing a calm look. She could sense their sincere gratitude, as well as their confusion.

She thought for a moment, then slightly raised her head and showed her face. As she expected, once she exposed her face, the looks on Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming’ faces changed. Unlike them, however, the others made no reaction.

The smile in Lu Tianyi’s face froze, then disappeared. He widened his eyes while his pupils shrank. He pointed at Lin Qiao and opened his mouth slightly, but didn’t make any sound.

Seeing his reaction, the others were all bewildered.

“Boss, what’s wrong? Do you know this…pretty lady?”

Huang Shou glanced at Lin Qiao’s face, seeing her delicate chin and beautifully shaped lips, and figured that she was a pretty lady. He really wanted to see her eyes.

At that moment, Kong Qingming raised a hand to press Lu Tianyi’s arm down, then whispered in his ear, “Calm down! Maybe she just looks like her.”

Watching Kong Qingming’s movements, Huang Shou and the others were even more confused. Lu Tianyi breathed deeply to calm himself, then nodded.

“Don’t you forget that she didn’t have any powers,” Kong Qingming took his hand away and reminded Lu Tianyi.

“I know,” Lu Tianyi nodded, then closed his eyes. When he reopened those eyes, he had already calmed down. However, despite what Kong Qingming said, he believed that he was right. He was so familiar with that face that he could recognize it at first sight, with or without makeup. The hat and the sunglasses couldn’t hide it at all.

However, Kong Qingming was not wrong either. That woman didn’t have any superpowers, while this one in front of him had a space. That woman wouldn’t save him, neither would she come all the way to such a dangerous zombie city. And this one who was standing before his eyes saved him just conveniently.

She wasn’t her! But, they grew up together, so how could he have possibly mistaken her for somebody else?

Lu Tianyi had no idea that because of his mood swings, Lin Qiao was actually able to sense his thoughts right now.

Kong Qingming was his best friend for years, so without question, he knew how he was feeling and thinking at the moment. He sighed, but didn’t say anything, only looking at Lin Qiao.

At this moment, Huang Shou abruptly began talking, “That…Sister! Since you won’t tell us your name, I think I’m gonna call you sister. I have one question, but I don’t know if I can ask.”

Lin Qiao looked at Huang Shou’s twenty-year-old face and felt that it was appropriate for him to call her sister. So, she nodded. Then, Lu Tianyi, Kong Qingming, and all the others turned their eyes to Huang Shou.

Huang Shou swallowed his saliva and asked carefully, “Are you a…double-powered being?”

Hearing that, the group of human beings immediately changed their expressions and fixed their eyes on Lin Qiao. Lu Tianyi gave a start first, then stared straight at her. It seemed that these people would keep eyeing her until she gave them an answer.

Except for Huang Shou and the other two, the rest of the team hadn’t seen her use the black mist. So, when Huang Shou asked that question, they were all shocked.

After all, double-powered beings were extremely rare, and consequently legendary in the post-apocalyptic world. Over a million people were living in the Sea City Base, but among them, only one was double-powered. That person had two different types of natural powers.

He was an elderly man. After the apocalypse, his water power and green power had revived his body to a certain degree. Therefore, even though he was in his seventies, he looked no different from the ones in their fifties.

That was a normal thing. Almost all superpowered human beings were healthier and stronger than the ordinary ones, and aged much slower. Therefore, the superpowered human beings had gained new vibes and skills since the apocalypse, but their appearances had barely changed.

All Sea City people were aware of how important that double-powered man was. He didn’t like the game of thrones, or there would be another leader in the base.

He was at level-six, but he was no weaker than the three level-seven base leaders.

That wasn’t the point. The point was that the number of double-powered people was a very small figure; only one of them existed in the Sea City Base. However, this group of human beings had heard that quite some double-powered people lived in the Huaxia Base. After all, Huaxia was a super base, which was more powerful than the Sea City Base by at least three times.

Seeing the group of people’s glowing eyes, Lin Qiao rolled her eyes. She wondered how Huang Shou’s brain was working that made him ask such a dumb question after witnessing her using two powers.

But before she responded, Xie Dong wrote a few words on the notebook, then tore off the piece of paper and wadded it up, throwing it at Huang Shou’s forehead.

“Ah! It hurts!” Huang Shou wanted to dodge, but failed. While shouting in pain, he fumbled to catch the little wad of paper. Then, he unwrapped it and read Xie Dong’s note—’Silly, what you just saw wasn’t an illusion.’

“Oh!” After reading the note, Huang Shou remembered that he had indeed seen Lin Qiao use two types of powers just now. That was right, she was double-powered!

Lin Qiao looked at this group of human beings. They all looked in a mess and with exhausted energies, but none of them had serious injuries, only some small wounds.

Lin Qiao estimated that these people wouldn’t have a chance out of this zombie city without her. However, following her to the central area which had more higher-level zombies was also dangerous for them.

In this case, she had no choice but to let these people stay in her space for a few days. When she had finished exploring this city, she would send them back to the Sea City Base.

She thought for a moment, then took out the clipboard and began writing. Seeing her writing, Lu Tianyi and the others were stunned again. They looked at Lin Qiao with confusion, then glanced around.

‘Why write? Couldn’t she talk? ‘

Xie Dong wrote on a small notebook, and now she was writing on a clipboard. It appeared that it was really not convenient for these two to talk.

While they were trying to figure out something, Lin Qiao finished writing, raised the clipboard, and waved her hand toward them. The group of people walked to her and saw the text written there—’I don’t have time to send you out of the city now. You should just rest in my space for a couple of days.’

She wanted them to know that she still had something else to do, so she couldn’t escort them out of the city immediately. These people needed to wait for a few days. Otherwise, based on their current condition, they might not be able to leave this zombie city without getting hurt or killed, even if she gave them a bunch of weapons.
