Chapter 183: They’re Gone
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
To Shen Chengming, it wasn’t just scary, but had also given him a strong sense of danger. After the car stopped, he squatted where he was and alertly looked around, then slowly stood up to move toward the car.
Holding the flashlight with one hand, he vigilantly approached the car while glancing around. Then, he stood by the door of the front seat and shone the light inside, only to find that the people in the car were all gone.
He only looked into the car for a few seconds before stepping away. Earlier when he jumped off, he didn’t see anyone else get off the car, meaning that the others had all disappeared inside.
Recalling how their heads melted and vanished, he felt colder and colder.
In the next moment, he stepped away from the car because he saw that the car was also disappearing from the inside. His friends were gone, and so were the seats; the car itself had also been vanis.h.i.+ng slowly.
As he moved backward step by step, his fine hair suddenly stood straight up. His heart thumped as a bad feeling occurred to him.
However, the feeling came too late. Before he dodged, a hand with sharp claws was swung toward his neck from less than a meter behind him.
Puff!
Following a slight noise, he paused.
Lin Qiao took a step forward and reached out a hand to take off Shen Chengming’s head, then cut it open and dig out the nucleus. After that, she threw the head away.
She entered her s.p.a.ce and threw the nucleus into the lake, then came back out and waved her hand toward the car. A stream of dark mist drifted out of the car. Maybe because it had absorbed the energy of the few people, Lin Qiao felt that it was a little denser than before.
Then, she glanced at the car. It looked good from the outside, but was empty on the inside.
She turned to run toward the next building. Getting closer to the building, she grabbed the edge of the wall and swung herself upward, quickly climbing onto the roof.
If these people weren’t targeting Lin Feng and his people, Lin Qiao wouldn’t kill them so brutally. However, they had already found the hotel building, and Lin Feng’s people couldn’t disa.s.semble the solar power equipment and leave immediately. Besides, these people had shown a murderous intention toward Lin Feng and his people, so Lin Qiao didn’t see a reason to show mercy to them.
She would get rid of everything and everyone that might threaten Lin Feng and his people.
She leaped across roofs to head back to the building where she had found the group of people, realizing that they were still waiting in that building.
“Boss, you sent him back to report to Deputy Chief, but do you think he’ll really bring Deputy Chief here?”
“I think he can. Shh…quiet…I feel that something is wrong.”
“What?”
“Earlier on, I noticed that this area is very quiet, without any zombie. I’ve been observing the whole afternoon, and no zombie was found near the hotel. They don’t even have a guard.”
“What? No guard? Aren’t they afraid of a zombie attack?”
“I don’t know about their situation. We need to get closer for a better vision. Pack your things! We’ll move two-hundred meters toward the hotel.”
“Yes, sir…”
Lin Qiao was in a corner behind them, hiding under a layer of dark mist. In the dark room, no one noticed that a creature had come in and was listening to their conversation from a corner.
‘You are so bad at observing. It took you a whole afternoon to notice what’s abnormal around here,’ she thought. Even though this place was a town, the hotel was located in the town center. This area shouldn’t be crowded by zombies, but it was absolutely not normal for it to be zombie-free. These people should have noticed it long ago.
While watching these people begin moving, Lin Qiao made herself invisible. Before the last man left, she quietly showed up and covered his mouth with her hand. At the same time, the black mist gushed into his mouth and nose from her palm.
With that, the man stopped moving instantly. Lin Qiao gently put the body on the ground, then quietly followed behind the others. Around the corner of the stairs, she dragged the second last man back and smoothly killed him with the dark mist as well. After that, she leaned against the stair railing and looked down.
The others were still moving forward; none of them had noticed that two of their men were missing.
One by one, Lin Qiao finished off half of these men without being noticed by the others. Finally, one man glanced back at the rest of the team, but saw nothing as a result.
“Ali? Bao? Oi…Why are you guys so slow?”
“What’s wrong? Hearing his voice, the others all stopped moving and turned back to look at him.”
“Ali and Bao and the others are missing.”
“Where did they go?”
“I don’t know…”
Even after spending a short while talking, none of them saw anyone coming down; they didn’t even hear any noise.
“Cate, you go upstairs and check,” Lv Duyao said to a man.
At that point, Lin Qiao leaped out of the window by the stairs on the sixth floor. After landing, she walked to the entrance of the building and waited.
Soon, the group of men came down in panic.
Half of their team was suddenly gone, yet they hadn’t seen any enemy or anything else for that matter. Their friends just disappeared, and they didn’t even know if they were dead or alive.
Facing the mysterious enemy, none of them could stay calm.
Once they came down, they saw a figure standing by the entrance. Some of them pointed the flashlight toward Lin Qiao and found that she was bald and wearing sungla.s.ses at night.
“Who are you?” Lv Duyao shone Lin Qiao’s eyes with the flashlight and asked, but the latter ignored him. As all of these people came down, a stream of dark mist slowly rose from her palm.
The men behind Lv Duyao pointed their guns at Lin Qiao. Lv Duyao was the only one who didn’t have a gun. He had sharp sensations, which allowed him to sense the intention of killing from Lin Qiao once he saw her.
Soon, he thought of the people in the hotel. He thought that those people had found them and this was their strike.
“Was it you just now?”
However, Lin Qiao didn’t answer his question.
“You…What did you do to our friends?” A man behind Lv Duyao asked.Meanwhile, a faint black mist spread in the darkness, approaching the group of men. However, they didn’t notice it at all.
Slowly, the mist touched their heads and drilled into their noses and ears, but they still didn’t realize it. Like the people from before, they soon stopped moving, standing there like statues.
Only Lv Duyao made a sudden step backward and dodged to the side when the black mist got close to him.
