Chapter 162: Give Up When the Enemy is Too Strong
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Sensing Xie Dong’s gaze, Lin Qiao turned her head to glance at him, then turned back to keep staring at the two.
Xie Dong paused on seeing her face.
‘Where are her scars?’
The two were stunned as well, staring at the suddenly appeared Lin Qiao, who had killed a level-five superpowered man once she showed up.
Lin Qiao was wearing sungla.s.ses and a hat. The two only saw her pointed jaw and tightened clothes at her chest area.
‘A woman? A strange and powerful woman! On the enemy’s side!’
“Who are you? What do you want?” One of the two men shouted at Lin Qiao. They had witnessed her kill the other man who was at level-five quite easily, so they figured that she might be a level-six powerful being!
Lin Qiao quietly looked at them without answering their questions. At that point, Xie Dong finally regained some strength, allowing him to hold the wall and slowly stand up.
Hearing the noise he made, Lin Qiao turned back again. This time, she raised a hand to lower her sungla.s.ses a little bit, revealing her pair of dark eyes to look at Xie Dong, who was covered in wounds, with pity.
Xie Dong could see her eyes, but the two in front of her couldn’t.
Xie Dong was wounded seriously, yet he didn’t feel any pain. However, as he was injured and his energy had been consumed up, he couldn’t control his body so well for the time being.
Seeing the familiar eyes of Lin Qiao, he somehow felt relieved.
Earlier on, he didn’t know that Lin Qiao was nearby. However, as he ran to this area, he suddenly had a feeling which seemed to lead him to her.
At first, he didn’t know what that feeling was, but as he got closer, he faintly sensed a familiar vibe which was stronger than before, and was just nearby.
Soon, he recognized that familiar vibe.
It was Lin Qiao!
Therefore, he saw a gleam of hope, because of which, he tried his best to run toward this area. He believed that if he got close enough, Lin Qiao would sense him, or, he would run to her side and she would save him.
Since he and Lin Qiao were separated by the ice-powered zombie leader, Xie Dong had been extra careful. He was just a newborn zombie. He wasn’t strong enough, so he needed to avoid both human beings and high-level zombies.
As a weak zombie, he had no other choice but to hide around. Two days ago, he encountered two level-four zombies who were fighting over territory. One of them was injured badly, but managed to escape. The winner was injured as well, so it didn’t chase.
Xie Dong sneakily followed behind the injured zombie and grasped an opportunity to kill it with a surprise attack.
However, once he dug out its zombie nucleus, a group of people showed up. At the sight of the zombie nucleus, those people decided to seize it. After confirming that Xie Dong was alone, they immediately surrounded him and tried to kill him.
Fortunately, he was a zombie. Those people’s attacks were lethal to human beings, but not to him. At last, he got a chance to run. He wasn’t able to tell if he could really escape them, but he wouldn’t miss any opportunity available to him.
Surprisingly, he ran into Lin Qiao so soon.
After glancing at the poor Xie Dong, Lin Qiao silently pushed the sungla.s.ses up to cover her eyes, then turned back to look at the two. At the moment, the people in the two cars didn’t know the twists that had taken place on the roof yet. None of them was stronger than the three on the roof, so they didn’t sense Lin Qiao as she had restrained her vibe.
After waiting for a while, they guessed that the three on the roof had finished Xie Dong off. So, one of them shouted, “Boss, have you killed the boy? We’re three miles away from the center of the town. Let’s go and see if we can find any food there!’
Hearing that, the people on the roof stayed silent.
“Eh? Why are they so quiet? Have they finished? Are they preparing to come down?”
“Why didn’t they answer the question?”
“Boss? Are you there? Oi!”
“Alright, stop yelling. You’re attracting zombies!” Another man reminded the guy who was shouting. As he mentioned, the surrounding ordinary zombies had started to slowly gather toward them.
“How can my voice attract them… They’re coming because they smelled us.” While complaining, this man raised his gun and pointed it at the approaching zombies, then fired for a few times in a row.
The nearest few zombies were shot in the heads and fell to the ground. Meanwhile, the others raised their guns to shoot zombies as well.
“Eh, but what’s happening up there? They didn’t respond, neither have they come down. What are they doing?”
At that moment, their Boss really wanted to yell back at them, ‘Finish my a.s.s! We’re about to be finished!’
The two men understood that Lin Qiao was much more powerful than they were, because she was able to silently come up behind three level-five superpowered men while they sensed nothing, and were nearly killed by her.
The man who was bitten by Xie Dong was only two seconds slower than them, but as a result, his head was cut off within a blink. Perhaps, he didn’t even know how he died.
Facing the huge power difference, the two level-five superpowered men were frightened. They would never think about avenging their dead friend, as they believed that was meaningless.
People could die at any moment when they teamed up to come out of their bases. They were used to that since long ago, and they believed that they didn’t need to fight a level-six powerful being for someone they didn’t know so well.
“Well, if that boy is your friend, we didn’t really do serious harm to him. And, you’ve killed one of us. So, I guess we’re even! You can take him. We won’t try stopping him this time.”
A man said to Lin Qiao with a very different att.i.tude. She glanced at him, then turned back to Xie Dong and gave him a special-forces’ hand signal.
‘What’s the plan?’
Xie Dong glanced at the headless body on the ground, then responded with a hand signal as well.
‘Let’s go.’
He still had the zombie nucleus, so he planned to deal with these people after he had upgraded himself. He had memorized their faces! He wouldn’t let Lin Qiao kill them for him, because he wanted to take revenge for himself.
Receiving his hand signal, Lin Qiao didn’t say anything and just pressed a hand on his shoulder. In the next second, both of them flashed into her s.p.a.ce.
