Zombie Sister Strategy

When Lin Wenwen opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a bed. She sat up and looked around. The room looked a little familiar; she felt that she had seen it somewhere before.

She turned and scanned the room with her eyes, then realized that it was exactly the room she saw in her dream.

So, she was back!

With that thought, she quickly got off the bed and ran to the window side barefooted to look outside. The buildings she saw were reconstructed. She sensed some familiar vibes, then raised her head to see the gray and pressing sky. All those were familiar and strange to her at the same time.

She was back! This time, it wasn’t a dream. It was real!

While Lin Wenwen was sighing with relief, Lin Hao, who was on the other side of the building, suddenly sensed a familiar vibe. He immediately dropped the medical materials in his hands as he sprung up from his chair and ran out of his office, toward Lin Wenwen’s room.

Something crossed Lin Wenwen’s mind after she spent a short while looking outside the window. She closed her eyes to feel her space. After confirming that everything in her space was still there, she relaxed, then turned and walked to the door.

The door wasn’t locked, so she pulled it open easily.

“Wenwen!” She heard someone call her name from the other side of the hallway. She turned and saw Lin Hao running toward her nervously and excitedly.

Lin Hao rushed up to her and pressed both hands on her shoulder as he looked at her from head to toe while asking her nervously, “Where have you been? What happened? Are you feeling okay? What about your superpowers?”

Lin Wenwen was two years older than he was, but he rarely called her sister. Normally, he called her by her name.

Seeing the nervous look on Lin Hao’s face, Lin Wenwen asked him, “How long have I been gone for?”

“About half a month,” Lin Hao looked at her and answered the question.

He spent some time observing Lin Wenwen. Finding that she seemed healthy, he finally gave a slight sigh of relief. Then, he looked at her in the eyes and said, “We thought you were taken away by someone, but they checked your room so many times, and then said that no other people had ever been in that room. We searched through the base too. But, not even a trace of yours was found. After that, they made a guess that you were probably in your own space. We couldn’t prove that though. Where on earth have you been in the past half a month?”

Lin Wenwen looked at him and said with a mysterious smile, “You may not believe this. Look…”

While speaking, she took a bagful of catmint out of her space and threw it toward Lin Hao.

Lin Hao was waiting for her answer curiously. He saw her throw a bagful of grass out of her space. He was confused first, but when he gave the grass a closer look, he suddenly popped his eyes with surprise.

“This is…”

“Surprise!” said Lin Wenwen, “I foresaw the future when I was over there. I thought this might be important, so I managed to get a lot of it. So, what exactly can catmint do?”

“Is this… uninfected catmint? Really?” Lin Hao had already squatted and opened the bag. He picked up a handful of catmint and carefully observed it. He focused his sensations and surprisingly, he didn’t even sense a trace of the virus from the plant.

That was the purest catmint!

“It’s really uninfected! Great! This is amazing! Wenwen, where did you get this? No, I mean… How did you get this? Where did you find them?” After repeatedly confirming that the catmint was really uninfected, Lin Hao stood up and said to her excitedly. He even failed to organize his language.

After all, it was almost impossible to find even one uninfected catmint plant in the post-apocalyptic era, not to mention a whole bagful of them!

“From before the apocalypse,” Lin Wenwen looked at Lin Hao and said with a smile.

As she expected, Lin Hao paused with surprise, then looked at her and said with confusion, “Before the apocalypse? What does that mean?”

He didn’t understand. What did she mean by before the apocalypse? Did she go back seven years ago? How was that possible?

Lin Wenwen had foreseen that funny look on his face, so she laughed and said, “Yeah, before the apocalypse. Where else could so many uninfected plants be found?”

On hearing that, Lin Hao stayed silent for three minutes, then looked at her and said, “Is this a joke?”

Lin Wenwen found the look on his face very interesting. She had hardly seen her smart brother wear that kind of look ever since he grew up. So, she covered her mouth, tittered, then explained, “You asked me where have I been, right? I was back seven years ago, before the apocalypse.”

Lin Hao folded his arms as he looked at her and said, “Have you lost your mind? You are not a time traveler. How could you possibly go back to seven years ago?”

As her brother refused to believe her, Lin Wenwen rolled her eyes, then snorted and said, “Believe it or not. I didn’t lie to you. Where do you think I found these catmint plants? Look, I also have these fresh fruits and vegetables!”

To prove that she had really traveled through the time to the past, Lin Wenwen showed Lin Hao some of the fresh fruits and vegetables that she had stored in her space.

Lin Hao looked at the tomato and cabbage in her left hand, and the apple and pear in her right hand. Those fruits and vegetables were all as pure as the catmint on the ground. They did seem uninfected.

He still wasn’t sure. He took over those fruits and vegetables and carefully felt them with his hands. Those were pure indeed. No complicated energies or virus could be sensed from those fruits and vegetables.

“Is-is this real?” Lin Hao looked at Lin Wenwen. He was both confused and shocked.

Lin Wenwen was happy to see her little brother being dumbfounded as she nodded and said, “It’s real. You said I was gone for half a month, but I spent three months there. I relived the three months before the apocalypse.”

Lin Hao popped his eyes in shock. He looked at her, then at the fruits in his hand, then turned back to her, and then looked at the fruits again. At last, he spent a long time staring at the bagful of catmint on the ground in silence.

“Isn’t it magical? At first, I didn’t believe that I’ve traveled through time to the past either. I felt as if I were in a dream! Also, I landed in someone else’s body instead of my own,” Lin Wenwen walked to the side of the hallway and leaned against the guardrail as she said with a smile.

Then, something else crossed her mind. She instantly furrowed her brows and said, “Oh, who in our base has turned purple? Is he poisoned? Who is he?”
