Zombie Sister Strategy

Chapter 594: Who’s Whistling?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gradually, screams and shouts could be heard from the surrounding, mixed with gunshots and explosions. The entire base became chaotic.

Lin Qiao and Lu Tianyi stood on top of the administrative building of Earth Dragon Base, watching the chaotic scene. The zombies that she had released were all at level three or four. Bullets couldn’t hurt them. Also, she had ordered them not to linger in one place for too long.

She only wanted them to show up, scare people, and then sneak away.

Once those zombies showed up, there would certainly be casualties. When they left, the all-out panic that they created spread out.

Lin Qiao had melted the metal gates of the base. By now, the gates had turned into four giant holes. The zombies out there were summoned by Lin Qiao last night, and their number was terrifyingly huge.

Jian Shengtong quickly gathered the superpowered people in the base and the army. He sent some of those people to the gate areas to stop the zombie crowds, and some to hunt those higher leveled zombies that Lin Qiao had released. Meanwhile, he sent some other people to deal with those captives who had been running crazily about in the base.

“Let’s go! You’ve watched the show. Now, you should leave. My work here isn’t done yet,” Lin Qiao sniffed around, then sent Lu Tianyi into her s.p.a.ce. Next, she turned invisible and leaped off the building.

She followed the sounds of some captives that she heard just now, and soon found a warehouse in the outer base. That warehouse was large, used for keeping the captives from Hades Base. Most of those people were female, their ages varied. Some of them were good-looking young men as well.

At that time, all of those people had scattered in or around the warehouse, holding weapons. Outside the warehouse, fully armed Earth Dragon Base soldiers had been firing at them.

The power difference between those soldiers and those captives was way too huge. Those captives had suffered heavy casualties, yet many of them still weren’t willing to give up. Each one of them had the determination to die together with the enemies.

They did want to die together with Earth Dragon Base people, because they knew that there wasn’t a good chance for them to run out of that base alive. They had been kept here for months, used as slaves and breeding tools.

Lin Qiao landed on top of the warehouse and abruptly whistled loudly at those Earth Dragon Base soldiers.

“What’s that noise?” Hearing the whistling, both sides of the battle felt confused.

“It sounds like… whistling?”

“Who’s whistling here?”

“Yes, I heard it too. That’s whistling indeed!”

Hearing that whistling, everyone was so confused. But soon, they realized what that whistling could summon.

A series of level three or four zombies suddenly showed up around them one after another, then started attacking those Earth Dragon Base soldiers.

“High-leveled zombies! Fire! Fire! Be careful!” The leader of those soldiers burst in shouts at the sight of those zombies, as if they were facing powerful enemies.

Level-four zombies surely wouldn’t come too close, because they had superpowers! All the zombies which jumped on those soldiers to bite and scratch them were at level-three. They were swift, and they evacuated after only one move.

Before those soldiers could point their guns all at those zombies, those zombies had hit their targets and left. Tens of zombies scattered to attack those soldiers separately.

“What’s going on? I think they’re under attack… Are those… high-leveled zombies?” Near the warehouse, those captives observed those soldiers with confusion. Seeing those zombies, they were all surprised.

“I… I think so!” After looking carefully for a while, someone responded uncertainly. They didn’t have telescopes, so they couldn’t clearly see what was happening out there. However, they could roughly guess it out based on the gunshots and zombie roars coming from the outside.

“Don’t just stand there! They’re distracted now! Let’s rush out!” Someone said loudly.

“You’re right! Now is the time! Go!”

Those captives grasped the opportunity. While covering each other and evacuating from the warehouse, they carefully observed the enemies.

Lin Qiao, who was looking down from the roof, suddenly frowned, then made a step backward and moved sideways.

A sharp wind blade descended from the sky and went through the spot that she was standing on. The roof was made from iron sheet, so the wind blade easily penetrated it.

“I was wondering why so much trouble suddenly happened together. I guess someone is behind all these,” Lu Zhuofeng showed up on top of a building nearby, looking down at Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao stayed silent as she coldly raised her head and looked at him in the eyes.

Lu Zhuofeng looked around, his eyes showing a trace of confusion. Then, he turned and said to Lin Qiao, “You must have lots of confederates. You’ve actually killed Long Yubai. So, Lin Ruifeng and Ye Hao must be dead as well. I’m just wondering where you led He Mu to.”

“Guess!” Lin Qiao gave him a cold smile and said.

With a bland tone, Lu Zhuofeng said, “He Mu isn’t as weak as Long Yubai, a possessor of water power. He has metal power. No one can just kill him silently. Even a level-eight man would need to go through an intense battle to kill him. It’s impossible to kill him without leaving any trace! Unless… you’ve drawn him away. Perhaps, you took him out of the base. Am I right?”

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “You’re right, he’s a level-seven metal power possessor. Killing him isn’t that easy.”

She didn’t refute Lu Zhuofeng, because he was not wrong. He Mu was fat, but was also a possessor of metal power. Besides, he was at level seven. So, killing him wouldn’t be easy. He would have sensed it before anyone else launched an attack on him.

However, Lin Qiao was different. As a zombie who possessed both a s.p.a.ce and poisonous fire, she was a special case.

A special case could surely not be a.n.a.lyzed with common sense. Lu Zhuofeng was not wrong, but he hadn’t figured out Lin Qiao’s true ident.i.ty and power.

He guessed that she had confederates, and Lin Qiao decided to let him keep guessing. That would only do her good anyway.

“It’s not easy to kill He Mu, but it’s quite easy for me to kill you!” At that moment, Lu Zhuofeng suddenly swung an arm at Lin Qiao. Following his move, a gust of wind was started and sent toward Lin Qiao. That was not only a fierce gust of wind, but contained countless sharp wind blades.

Lin Qiao moved backward swiftly. Before the wind blades touched her, she quickly leaped off the roof. The wind roared shrilly, and the wind blades shredded half of the iron sheet roof.

Chapter 595: Do Not Waste Time

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Eh?” As Lin Qiao dodged his attack, Lu Zhuofeng immediately descended from the sky and found that he had lost the trace of the enemy.

‘She hid fast!’

He stood on the broken roof of the warehouse and glanced where Lin Qiao leaped off before looking around. Right at that moment, he suddenly sensed a stream of coldness coming from behind him. Hurriedly, he leaped away and sprung up into the sky.

He turned to where he stood and saw Lin Qiao standing there with a palm raised, smiling at him creepily.

Looking at that wisp of dark fire on her palm, Lu Zhuofeng froze.

“That… that’s…”

Lin Qiao grinned and said, “What? Do you find it familiar? Would you like to feel it? It’ll make you feel even more familiar!”

While finis.h.i.+ng her words, she suddenly clenched her fist and threw the fire at Lu Zhuofeng.

Lu Zhuofeng saw nothing but that wisp of dark fire darting at him and panicked. But, as a base leader, he only panicked for a moment. After the short panic, he swiftly raised a hand to create a winds.h.i.+eld.

Boom! That tiny flame expanded speedily after b.u.mping into the winds.h.i.+eld. It actually penetrated the winds.h.i.+eld, even growing stronger and stronger in the wind. Soon, it formed a black firewall, also seeming like a dark beast of fire that brandis.h.i.+ng its claws while pouncing upon Lu Zhuofeng.

Seeing that black fire, Lu Zhuofeng somehow felt fear in his heart. As the fire grew larger and larger in the wind, he automatically moved further and further backward. Meanwhile, he took another glance at Lin Qiao.

She had disappeared again!

Finding that Lin Qiao had disappeared again, Lu Zhuofeng’s vigilance was raised to another level. Next, he found the dark fire before him rising into the sky, then splitting up into long wisps.

He was aware that the enemy’s power had fully suppressed his.

Before he could react, he saw the snake-like fire streams swis.h.i.+ng at him. He hurriedly moved backward, but then felt something strange from his back. He immediately stopped moving backward, and then turned his body and moved sideways stiffly. Thankfully, his wind power allowed him to easily make that move in the air.

As he leaned to one side, a dark flake of fire flashed across the air right behind him.

“What? Are you afraid? Are you afraid that this fire might land on you and make you vanish?” At that moment, Lin Qiao’s voice came from the roof of another building.

Lu Zhuofeng waved a hand and created a hurricane to blow away the dark fire streams around him. After that, he quickly moved away from where he was.

“Who the h.e.l.l are you! Do you expect me to take you for that woman who has already blown herself up after hearing your words? She’s dead. She was blown into pieces! You can pretend to be her, but I won’t possibly believe you! Do you think that I’m stupid?” Lu Zhuofeng yelled at Lin Qiao.

Even though Lin Qiao was using the poisonous dark fire, he didn’t think of her as Netherworld Fire, because he believed that the other had blown herself up and couldn’t possibly survive.

He believed that the woman in front of him was only someone who happened to have triggered the same kind of power as Netherworld Fire. He thought that she was trying to scare him with that dark fire, and that she underestimated him.

Lin Qiao looked at him, wanting to laugh. She couldn’t say for sure if Lu Zhuofeng was smart or silly. Last night, He Mu and Long Yubai believed her almost without hesitation.

Unlike them, Lu Zhuofeng refused to believe that she was still alive. He firmly believed that she had detonated herself and died for good. He was not wrong though. She did die, and that was a truth.

At first, even Lin Qiao herself didn’t want to believe the fact that she had woken up in another body, not to mention other people!

Based on Lu Zhuofeng’s att.i.tude, she figured that he was rather smart. After all, he wasn’t scared, only a little surprised.

“You may believe me, or you may not. That’ll depend on what you do next!” While speaking, Lin Qiao suddenly reached out her arms toward him, then turned and wielded.

Soon, countless dark fire snakes flew swiftly at Lu Zhuofeng. In the air, those dark snakes split up and became more and more numerous. They attacked Lu Zhuofeng from every direction, but ended up being blown away by Lu Zhuofeng’s hurricane.

At that moment, Lin Qiao abruptly disappeared from where she was.

“Eh?” Lu Zhuofeng had been keeping an eye on Lin Qiao the whole time. But all of a sudden, he realized that he was distracted by those dark fire snakes, and that she had disappeared again.

Lu Zhuofeng got nervous. Thinking that Lin Qiao might be brewing some other moves, he was immediately alerted. He looked around vigilantly, in case she suddenly attacked from a random direction.

The fire snakes were still growing in number, showing no sign of declining. On the contrary, the fire was boosted again around Lu Zhuofeng’s winds.h.i.+eld.

At that time, Lin Qiao had evacuated already, going far away.

She did want to kill Lu Zhuofeng, but as a level-eight wind-power possessor, he was at a higher level than her, and was able to fly in the sky. Her attacks could only be launched on the ground. The other way to kill him was through close combat.

Facing an enemy who could fly, the only long-range attack that she could launch was her fire. However, as the enemy gathered his wind power, the fire that she was able to send into the sky would become much less effective than usual.

She could start a big fight against him, but there might be no winner in it. However, she would surely spend a lot of time on it.

She didn’t want to waste time in fighting him. She was clearly unable to kill him this time, so she decided to wait for other chances.

At that point, the battle happening on the ground had entered an even more chaotic state. The captives had run away in all directions. This time, they didn’t run about crazily, but acted in an organized and planned fas.h.i.+on.

Added with the fact that those soldiers had been distracted by Lin Qiao’s zombies, they easily sneaked out of the warehouse. However, as they gathered around the entrances of the base, they were shocked by what they saw.

From a long distance away, they saw that the entrances had been taken down by zombie crowds. Earth Dragon Base armies had been killing those zombies, but the zombie crowds were way too huge, and the attacks launched by the armies barely delivered any effects.

At the very most, they stopped the zombie crowds from coming further into the base, but couldn’t force them out.

On the clearing before each entrance, countless zombie bodies piled up. Some surviving zombies were fighting each other over the bodies of the freshly died people.

More and more zombies came in through the entrances. The superpowered people released all kinds of powers—metal, green, water, fire and earth—to kill those ordinary zombies. Those were all ordinary zombies, so it was not difficult for superpowered people to kill them. The only problem was their humongous number.
