Lin Qiao looked at the zombie dominator in that room, feeling that he was very weak. He had become like a beast, but still lacked strength. Otherwise, how would those metal walls and bulletproof gla.s.s possibly trap him?
How did that happen? Was his power restrained by something?
She turned and glanced at those researchers, guessing that they had used some other drugs on that zombie.
Two more hours later, the zombie finally shrank to a corner and stopped moving.
A researcher walked to a device and checked the numbers showing on the screen, then nodded and said, “It’s safe now.”
After that, the metal boards on the walls rose into the ceiling. A few people in protective suits walked in as they took out syringes and started to take that zombie dominator’s blood.
They didn’t stop until the zombie’s blood filled the three syringes up. As they were done, they quickly moved the zombie back into the freezing chamber, and then chained him back on the shelf.
Before long, a man walked into the research room with the black blood.
Lin Qiao sniffed at the blood and sensed a vibe that was stronger than what she had sensed from that zombie himself. She frowned the moment she smelt the blood, because it gave her a depressing sense of crisis. That was not like a pressure, but more like a depressing feeling caused by the original conflict.
She moved closer to the blood and sensed it carefully. It was indeed repulsive for her.
What surprised her was that the blood actually did not give out the sense of ferocity. She felt that it was pure.
How did that happen? Only some newborn zombies had made her feel that way, because those newborns were foggy-minded, and had barely eaten humans.
Unlike those newborns, the zombie in the freezing chamber was at level-seven already. Besides, he had eaten human hearts during his time here, although those hearts weren’t from living human beings.
A zombie’s vibe would always turn impure after it tasted humans, and would contain its unique sense of ferocity.
However, Lin Qiao detected nothing from the zombie blood in the research room. That was weird.
She decided to figure out one thing first, then come back to deal with that zombie.
She moved away silently, then stood by the door and waited until those researchers got off work. As they got off work, she followed them out.
She wondered what kind of fuss would she cause if she made that zombie disappear now.
She didn’t know if that zombie would be willing to follow her. If he refused to follow her, she would have to kill him, in case those people caught him again and restarted their research in the future.
However, even if she took that zombie away, human beings would still develop other weapons against zombies. They would keep killing zombies until there were none left0 in the world.
Lin Qiao would want to do the same if she were still a human being.
But now, she was a zombie, so she should not think that way! Nevertheless, she could not try to stop it. She might be able to stop it once, but it would be impossible for her to succeed every single time. Human beings weren’t dumb. After their plans were ruined once or twice, they would hide away and continue their researches secretly.
Therefore, no one could stop it for good. For that reason, Lin Qiao gave up on trying to ruin the research, but started thinking about how to avoid the future trouble. Most importantly, she needed to keep her zombie nature secret.
She exited the research room and followed behind one of those researchers. That man had a relatively weaker vibe, and was psychologically vulnerable.
She followed him into the canteen in the building and watched him finish dinner, then followed him out of the building. She knew that he didn’t need to work late. After dinner, he planned to head straight home.
As a researcher of an important project, that man was paid well. He had a superpower, not at a high-level though.
Lin Qiao followed him onto a trolleybus, heading toward the outer base.
There were public transports like trolleybuses in the base. Without those, the people who lived far away from the center and had no cars would need to walk a long way from where they lived to the inner base.
Soon, Lin Qiao followed the researcher off the bus and walked for about ten minutes, arriving a fancy residential area. Over ten buildings in this area were all filled with residents.
Lin Qiao followed that man all the way to his home. He lived in a bachelor pad, which had one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, and one kitchen, along with a small balcony.
That man threw his staff badge and his coat onto the couch in the living room, then walked into his bedroom and picked up a winter bathrobe before walking into the bathroom.
Lin Qiao picked up his badge and looked at it.
That man was named Leng Xuantong, thirty-two years old. Before the apocalypse, he had a wife and a child. But, the apocalypse took away everything he had. Thankfully, he specialized in microorganisms back in the old world. So, after three years of struggle, he heard that Huaxia Base was recruiting scientists, and then came to this base to work.
He had a job in another base before that. However, Huaxia Base had greater strength and richer resources. For those, Leng Xuantong left his old base and joined the Huaxia Base.
He needed the resources for another experiment.
Lin Qiao learned the above information by following behind him and reading his mind.
He wasn’t doing his job in this base whole-heartedly. That was why Lin Qiao felt that he would be psychologically vulnerable.
About ten minutes later, Leng Xuantong came out of the bathroom. His body was still wet. Strangely, the water on his body wasn’t warm, but icy cold.
Lin Qiao gave him a glance as she sensed a very low temperature from the bathroom.
He bathed in cold water in winter? What power did he have?
Whatever power he had, Lin Qiao made a move directly. She lunged forward and dragged over Leng Xuantong, who was walking toward the bedroom, then flashed into her s.p.a.ce.
No one else knew that Leng Xuantong had disappeared in his own flat.
Leng Xuantong felt that someone suddenly dragged him, and then his eyes were dazzled. When he could see again, he found that he was no longer in his flat.
He gave a start, then immediately turned his head to see who dragged him, only to see a woman. She relaxed her grip on him, then took two steps backward, looking at him cold-facedly.
“Who… who are you!”
Lin Qiao smiled as she looked at him and said, “You don’t need to know that. You’re doing that experiment secretly because you don’t want the others to know about it, right?”
Leng Xuantong looked at Lin Qiao vigilantly, then looked around. He found that he was in a strange living room which was large but dimly illuminated, as if it were a rainy day out there.
Hearing her words, Leng Xuantong immediately frowned and asked, “Who the h.e.l.l are you!”
That woman actually knew about his experiment! No one was supposed to know that!
