He glanced again at Lin Qiao, who was standing in front of him. In fact, he didn’t want to go to Qiu Lili now, as he wanted more of the water that Lin Qiao gave him just now.
Sensing his thoughts, Lin Qiao said, “No more… You can only have one cup a day, under conditions.
“Whoo…” the male zombie quietly looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
“Firstly, you have to follow my words,” said Lin Qiao. “Secondly…”
She pointed at Lin Hao and the other two as she continued, “Them, and the other people like them in this building… you can’t hurt them, and you have to protect them. Do you understand? Nod if you do.”
The male zombie wasn’t as smart as an adult human being, but had the IQ of a seven or eight years old child. Therefore, he was able to understand Lin Qiao, and he immediately nodded.
Lin Qiao easily sensed the male zombie’s submission. If the latter lied to her, she would kill him.
Lin Qiao raised a hand toward the male zombie while saying, “Alright… Stand up and do what I said. I’ll give you a cup of water every day.”
The male zombie slowly stood up while glancing at Lin Qiao and the other two. After that, he raised his head to sniff around, then looked back at her. Lin Qiao pointed at a tall building that was around twenty meters away, then said to him, “Go stay over there, and don’t run about. Stay in that building. That building is your territory now.”
The male zombie turned to glance at that building, then looked at the broken cup in Lin Qiao’s hand. At last, he took a glance at Qiu Lili.
He wasn’t sure if the big zombie would let him go over there or not.
Qui Lili sensed his gaze, so she turned back to roar at him, “Ah, ahyaya!”
‘Go, do what she said.’
After receiving Qiu Lili’s order, the male zombie immediately relaxed. He glanced at Lin Qiao for one last time, then turned and leaped up from the roof, landing on the top floor of the building that Lin Qiao was pointing at. Then, he rested his arm on the guardrail of a corridor, looking at Lin Qiao and the others.
Lin Qiao glanced at the Lin Hao and the other two who didn’t dare to move, and found that they were all staring at her with a strange look in their eye.
Lei Yao, who didn’t talk much, asked Lin Hao, “Is she going to let these zombie leaders… be our bodyguards?”
Lin Hao had also been looking at Lin Qiao, Qiu Lili, and the other zombies with confusion. With a low voice, he responded, “I have no idea. But, if I didn’t get what she said wrong, I guess that’s true.”
“Zombie leaders serving as bodyguards… It’s honestly the first time for me to hear something like this… And, we’re the lucky ones,” Li Zheng joined the conversation.
Lin Qiao glanced up at Mengmeng, then waved a hand at her and said, “You, come down!”
However, Mengmeng just looked at her and didn’t move.
Lin Qiao smiled at her and continued, “Alright! If you refuse to follow my words, you shouldn’t come to me for the water again.”
Hearing that, Mengmeng instantly leaped off the roof and quietly landed before Lin Qiao.
In fact, after drinking the water, her hostility toward Lin Qiao had become weaker, and her repulsion was halfway gone. But still, she was a little uncomfortable to do what Lin Qiao said.
Lin Qiao turned around and walked toward Qiu Lili. Mengmeng followed behind her, glancing back at Lin Hao and the other two human beings from time to time.
Receiving that glance from Mengmeng, the three humans, who were preparing to quietly move backward and sneak away while the group of zombies weren’t paying attention to them, suddenly froze.
Lin Qiao walked up to Qiu Lili, looking at the four zombie leaders who were at different ages, then asked her, “What are their powers?”
Qiu Lili pointed at then one by one, saying, “Ahya, Aha, Ahyaya, Ahahah.”
‘Fire, green, earth, metal.’
The fire-powered one was a child, who looked only around ten years old. He was a little boy, but now looked rather scary. The upper part of his face was undamaged, yet his jaw was entirely torn off his face, hanging over his neck. His b.l.o.o.d.y mouth cracked was from side to side. At the same time, his eyes were glowing with a faint red light.
The green-powered one was a young female zombie. Her short hair were stuck to her scalp with blood. She was about five-feet and five-inches tall and slim. She had long legs flat chest, and a body that was fully covered in blood. It seemed that she used to be a neat girl before death.
The earth-powered zombie was a male one, about thirty-years old. His head remained in shape, but his arms, chest, and stomach were all covered in b.l.o.o.d.y holes.
The last one was a gray-haired elderly zombie, wearing a pair of gla.s.ses. Strangely, his hair were still s.h.i.+ny, and not dirty at all.
The elderly zombie was wearing a traditional Chinese garment made of expensive fabric. He was the cleanest one among the four.
While Lin Qiao was observing the four zombies, they were observing her as well. They had watched the fight between her and the ice-powered male zombie, and were all afraid of her dark mist for some reason.
As Lin Qiao approached them, the four zombies fixed their dark eyes on her, as if they were afraid that she might suddenly attack them with the dark mist.
“Ahyaya! Ahyayaya!” At that moment, Qiu Lili roared at the four zombie leaders.
‘Why are you looking at her? You all need to follow her orders too!”
The four zombie leaders immediately turned to Qiu Lili, their eyes filled with confusion.
Lin Qiao was powerful indeed, but her vibe wasn’t strong enough to suppress the four zombie leaders. Obviously, the four zombie leaders weren’t willing to unconditionally follow the words of a zombie who was not stronger than themselves.
Qiu Lili sensed their unwillingness, so she said, “Ahya, Ahyayayay!”
‘If you don’t want to follow her words, you can fight her as well!’
Hearing that, the four zombies immediately wore an aggressive look while staring at Lin Qiao.
Seeing that, the latter gave a faint smile and turned up her palm to quickly release a stream of dark mist. From behind her, a cloud of dark mist slowly rose to above the four zombies.
Seeing the large cloud of dark mist above their heads, the four zombie leaders became nervous.
“Roar… Whooo…” They each took two steps backward, alertly gazing at the dark cloud in the sky and looking like frightened animals.
“Roar!” Even Mengmeng couldn’t stay calm as she leaped backward. But then, she found that Qiu Lili made no reaction to that dark mist. Therefore, she stepped forward, then inched her way to Qiu Lili’s side.
“Wow! Doesn’t she have s.p.a.ce power? Why has she suddenly released this strange black mist?” Lin Hao and the other two were going to sneak downstairs, but before they did that, they found that the sky above their heads was covered by a dark cloud.
“Does she have two different types of power?” Li Zheng asked with surprise.
Lei Yao was observing the reaction of the group of zombie leaders. While thinking, he said, “I think something is in the dark cloud, and those zombie leaders seem to be very afraid of it.”
Hearing him, the other two instantly turned to look at the group of zombie leaders. As Lei Yao said, the four zombies all looked nervous and alert at the moment.
