“So, are you going to Sea City to find Lin Feng?” Long Qingying asked.Lin Qiao nodded at her in response.
“Are you going to find our Great Captain?” Du Yuanxing asked the same question.
Lin Qiao nodded again and wrote—’I’ve got the information I needed, so I won’t stay here.’
“Since you’re going to look for them, can I come with you?” Asked Long Qingying.
Finis.h.i.+ng speaking, she glanced at Junjun and the little boy. After learning that the boy was a human being, she felt she couldn’t bear to leave the kid with two zombies.
She wasn’t able to return to the base now, and it wasn’t safe for her to stay our here. So, she decided to go and find Lin Feng and his family too.
Besides, she also wanted to know if what Lin Qiao said was real. For the time being, she chose to believe that the latter was really going to help Lin Feng and his family.
Du Yuanxing looked at Long Qingying with surprise. He knew that she had been planning to find Lin Feng, but didn’t think that she would do it with a zombie. He believed that it would be very dangerous. After all, they didn’t know anything about the zombie and his zombie friends yet.
“You’re going with him? That’s too dangerous!” While thinking, he couldn’t help but say it out loud.
He didn’t think that the zombie’s words were believable. Perhaps, the zombie had some unknown bad intentions toward Lin Feng and his family. If so, would the zombie and his friends murder Long Qingying if she hindered them?
Lin Qiao looked at the two with composure, remaining silent.
Long Qingying understood what Du Yuanxing meant, and why he felt that way. She glanced at Lin Qiao; she wanted to figure out the zombie’s true purpose, which was dangerous indeed. However, it would be dangerous too if she tried finding Lin Feng by herself. If she encountered a peak-level-four or level-five zombie alone, she would be dead.
In comparison, she preferred to follow this strange zombie. At least, this zombie seemed to be friendly.
“I believe he won’t hurt me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have saved us twice.” She looked at Lin Qiao and said to Du Yuanxing.
“But…” Du Yuanxing wanted to say something else, but seeing the look of determination in her eyes, he stopped talking.
Long Qingying turned to him and said, “Since you’re so worried about me, why don’t you go to Sea City with me? All your teammates have been killed, and you’re all alone now. If you return to the base, you may get into trouble, let alone being able to take revenge.”
Du Yuanxing fell into silence; Long Qingying was right. At this point, he was in the same situation as Long Qingying. Earlier, he had no direct connection with Lin Feng and his family. But this time, as he was with Long Qingying and had disappeared while fighting against Huo Wu, he would definitely think of him being on Long Qingying’s side.
Therefore, he probably should team up with Long Qingying and go find Lin Feng and his people. One day, Lin Feng would certainly bring him back to the base and take revenge.
Moreover, both he and Long Qingying believed that Lin Feng and his brothers and sisters wouldn’t be murdered by Yang Jianhua just so easily.
At that moment, Lin Qiao wrote on the paper—’Your ‘Chief’, was she Lin Feng’s sister, Lin Qiao?”
She had been pondering over this question for long. At first, she was merely guessing, but later on, all the information she collected was leading her to that answer.
She was struggling internally. One could only imagine waking up in a strange world and finding that there was another oneself in this world, surrounded by all of one’s family members. How could one feel in such a situation?
Lin Qiao started doubting her own life. What was she? She woke up in a strange body. Like her body and face, everything around her didn’t really belong to her.
So, she had to figure out about her other self.
However, when she learned that there was another herself in this world, she was told that that person was dead!
What was happening now?
Lin Qiao was confused. At the moment, she could only try finding the answers for all her questions one by one.
Long Qingying took over her note and read it, then raised her head to nod at Lin Qiao with a look of admiration. After that, she said, “You’re right. Chief Netherworld Fire’s real name was Lin Qiao. Her power produced a black poisonous fire, which was terrifying! That’s why we named her Netherworld Fire. She wasn’t the only powerful one. None of her brothers and sisters are weak. If the shameless Long Yubai didn’t collude with the Deputy Chief and made him betray her, she wouldn’t have died in the hands of those level-sevens!”
While mentioning the death of Netherworld Fire, Long Qingying’s face was filled with anger and hatred. She was angry because of Long Yubai’s ambition, and hated Yang Jianhua for his betrayal.
Hearing Long Qingying’s words, Lin Qiao gave a start first, as she could scarcely believe it. Things had become different as someone had confirmed her guess.
That person was truly her other self. If Netherworld Fire was alone, she might be a different person who was also named Lin Qiao. But Lin Feng, Lin Wenwen, and all her other family members… That couldn’t be explained by mere repet.i.tion of names, could it?
And, who was Yang Jianhua?
Lin Qiao was shocked, but still, she had questions in her head. She thought for a moment and then wrote—”Are Lin Qiao’s younger brother and sister named Lin Wenwen and Lin Hao?”
After reading the note, Long Qingying looked at her with surprise and asked, “Yeah, don’t you know that? Didn’t you say that you know Lin Feng? But, why didn’t you know the names of his younger brother and sister?”
“I know it. I just want to confirm it,”—wrote Lin Qiao. She wanted to confirm if the other her… truly existed. At that moment, she truly didn’t know what to say.
Long Qingying remained silent, looking at Lin Qiao. She felt that this zombie was turning stranger and stranger.
Du Yuanxing, who stood beside Long Qingying, spent a moment thinking about what she said, then nodded abruptly and said, “Alright, I’ll go find Great Captain with you. There’s no place for us in the South anyway. I’d rather follow Great Captain than stay here.”
While speaking, he wistful face turned toward the direction of Hades Base. But as he raised his head, he saw nothing but the white fog.
He had forgotten that he was in a zombie’s s.p.a.ce.
As Du Yuanxing agreed to come with her, Long Qingying silently sighed with relief. With him, she finally didn’t need to travel with a few strange zombies all alone.
Lin Qiao was going to ask Long Qingying to join her, but to her surprise, both of them agreed to come with her even before she brought it up. Before, she was thinking about how to coax this cold woman to join her. However, things were going smoother than she had thought.
But now, she still needed to figure out one thing.
She picked up the paper and wrote— ‘You said that Netherworld Fire was murdered by people from the Earth Dragon Base and a traitor named Yang Jianhua. Who is Yang Jianhua?’
