Chapter 1230: Here Came Another One
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Right after Lin Qiao put the dog, the snake, the mushroom, the tiger, and the bunch of dying animals into her s.p.a.ce, she got into the car with Teng and prepared to leave. But, a red figure suddenly landed before the motorcade. Then, along with a thunderous bang, a huge object fell from the sky.
‘Oh, here comes another one,‘ people said in their heads when they clearly saw the red creature and the huge thing.
Lin Qiao stuck her head out of the car and looked at the enormous red cat, then at the huge, black, mutated bull, which was thrown to the ground by the cat. Before she could react, the weird red cat turned around, wagged its tail, and disappeared again.
Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say.
She looked at the enormous bull. The vehicles wouldn’t be able to pa.s.s if she didn’t take the bull into her s.p.a.ce.
“Well, this one is really here to deliver food,” Teng crawled onto her lap and stuck his head outside the window too. Then, the boy shrank back and stood up on the backseat, looking at the bull through the rear winds.h.i.+eld.
The four caught the prey for themselves, but the red cat caught the bull for his Mama.
Duan Juan, who was preparing to drive, rested her hands on the steering wheel, then turned and looked at Lin Qiao.
It was the second time. What did the weird cat want?
It was like a ghost.
The ones in the other vehicles all stuck their heads out of the car to look at the black bull, which had barred the road.
“So huge! How many tons do you think it weighes?”
“Three? It’s twice the size od the hairless cat, right?”
“It’s definitely heavier than three tons. It’s even larger than an adult elephant!”
Teng carried Teng off the car and walked toward the bull, which was probably dead already. After making just two steps, she stopped and turned around, then wore a helpless look on her face.
“One more? Is this ever gonna stop? What is this one coming for?” Lin Qiao looked around and said.
Teng held her neck and looked around as well. He sensed the creature much more clearly than Lin Qiao did. “Em… Have you met this one already? I don’t think it’s coming close to us.”
On hearing what he said, Lin Qiao lowered his head and glanced at the boy with surprise, “How do you know?”
“I felt it,” Teng said after two seconds of silence.
Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say.
She looked around again, then found the creature which was hiding in darkness really showed no sign of coming out. So, she turned and walked to the black bull, then put the mutated black bull, which had s.h.i.+ny fur, into her s.p.a.ce. It was still alive, but not for long.
On the clearing before Lin Qiao’s house in the s.p.a.ce, Lu Tianyi was busy cleaning the prey that the four had hunted. The four were gathering near the stairs before the house, staring at him. The mushroom had no eyes, but it was looking at Lu Tianyi as well.
All of a sudden, a slight thud was heard from nearby. Lu Tianyi and the four, as well as all the zombies who were working in the field , all turned to that area.
“No way! Do I need to skin and cut this one too? This is a huge one. It’s much bigger than the ones you guys caught,” Lu Tianyi was surprised to see the black bull, then he turned and complained to the four about how large it was.
“Wow!” From the balcony, Bowwow barked at Lu Tianyi unhappily. It clearly detected the scorn on Lu Tianyi’s face.
Black, who was coiling on the roof, reached down his head, then wriggled down to the ground, toward the black bull. He took a few circles around the bull, then crawled back onto the roof.
Lu Tianyi glanced at the big rat which had just been skinned by him, then at the pile of prey near him. After that, he turned to the huge black bull which was thrown into the s.p.a.ce just now.
Suddenly, he felt so tired. He had just started feeling better, and Lin Qiao already gave him a ton of work to do. How cruel was she?
What made him speechless was that the four wouldn’t let anyone else touch their prey! He couldn’t even find someone to a.s.sist him. The four didn’t catch the bull though. So, it would be okay for him to find someone to help him to cut the bull, right?
He thought for a moment, then yelled at Pesticide, who was catching bugs in the vegetable field, “Pesticide, come here!”
Pesticide raised his head and looked at Lu Tianyi without doing what the latter said.
“Come here! Do I need to go over there to guide you?” Lu Tianyi waved at him.
On hearing that, Pesticide slowly stood up and moved toward him.
“Go over there and kill the bull,” Lu Tianyi handed him a knife, then pointed at the bull.
“Roar?” Pesticide was immediately confused. He did not know how to kill a bull! The bull was so huge! Would it suddenly move its hooves and kick him into the sky?
“It’s dying,” said Lu Tianyi to him impatiently, “Go over there and poke the knife into its neck, then it’ll die. Are you afraid that the dying bull might kick you? How weak are you?”
With hesitation, Pesticide took over the military dagger and moved toward the huge bull worryingly.
After throwing the bull into the s.p.a.ce to Lu Tianyi, Lin Qiao turned and went back into the car. The team finally left that area and headed toward Huaxia Base again.
Mo Yan was sitting on top of the last car, with the zombie girl in a white dress standing beside him. He glanced at the black figure that was flas.h.i.+ng across the forest in the back from time to time, then said to the zombie girl, “I wonder why the zombie lady is so attractive to these mutated beasts. They all want to follow her. Is it because of her scent?”
Lin Qiao’s scent was indeed different from the scents of normal zombies. She had a faint aroma. Mo Yan had no idea how Lin Qiao’s scent could affect mutated beasts. For zombies, it just smelt nice; it was refres.h.i.+ng and sweet.
The zombie girl quietly glanced at him. Mo Yan knew that she had no answer to that question either, so he continued, “Those two have been following her all the way. The cat even brought her food, but the dog isn’t doing that yet. Is the dog not as smart as the cat?”
The zombie girl stayed silent. How was she supposed to know if the dog was smarter or the cat? She wasn’t a dog or a cat.
“If anything bad happens to me in the future, you should just follow her,” Mo Yan abruptly added, “It’s safer for you.”
Currently, mankind wasn’t the only enemy of zombies anymore. Those underground creatures were dangerous for zombies too.
“Roar!” The zombie girl gave him a deep roar and shook her head determinedly.
‘You told me not to leave you before. Are you going to leave me now?’
Mo Yan sighed as a trace of gloominess was added to his pretty face. “Don’t worry,” he said, “I won’t go and find him now. I’ll go when I have regained all my power. You won’t be going with me.”
The zombie girl popped her eyes and lowered her head, staring at the back of Mo Yan’s head. “Roar?” She didn’t understand.
Mo Yan raised his head and smiled as he looked at her in the eyes and said, “I don’t want you to go with me. I don’t want you to die.”
That smile of his wasn’t as wickedly charming as his usual smile, or that naughty kind of smile with one side of his mouth corners curved. It was warm, containing a slight bit of tenderness.
