Chapter 190: Follow the Feeling
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Xie Dong had eyed Lin Qiao’s body, but didn’t dare to try touching it. He knew that if he did, she would undoubtedly kick his a.s.s.
Lin Qiao turned and kept moving forward. All the surrounding zombies automatically moved away and cleared the road for her. She walked out of the factory gate, then let out the car. After that, she fully released her vibe and sat in the front seat.
Xie Dong got in the driver’s seat and started the car, then turned to look at Lin Qiao. The latter raised a hand to point at the area which had given her a strange feeling, then waved her hand slightly forward.
Xie Dong understood that she wanted him to drive there fast, so he nodded and pressed the accelerator. On the way, Lin Qiao had been directing him all the time, and an hour later, her expression finally changed a little.
The factory area was near the West Lake District, and by now, they had crossed the entire West Lake District and entered the Upper City District. Both Upper City District and Down City District of Hang Zhou City were included in the city center, and had large populations.
In this area, not only did Lin Qiao clearly sense some vibes, Xie Dong also felt quite a few strong vibes. His own vibe had been suppressed firmly here.
He pulled over and then glanced at the large crowd of ordinary zombies before his car. Those zombies also looked at him and Lin Qiao, their broken zombie faces all showing a confused look.
Xie Dong turned to Lin Qiao, who opened the car door and got off.On her way here, she had restrained her vibe and made herself like an ordinary zombie. So, the road was jammed by ordinary zombies.
When Xie Dong got off, Lin Qiao put the car into her s.p.a.ce.
At first sight, she saw at least a thousand zombies shambling in this area like old people. As Lin Qiao had restrained her vibe, these zombies didn’t avoid her. Xie Dong’s vibe had caught these zombies’ attention, yet it wasn’t strong enough to make them dodge.
She looked around, then ran up to a building nearby, leaping up and nimbly climbing onto the roof like a monkey. Xie Dong learned from her movements and followed her up to the roof, even though he didn’t know what she was going to do.
Climbing like that was many times faster than taking the stairs.
The buildings in this area were all tall, and the one Lin Qiao climbed had over twenty stories. Standing on the roof, she was able to see things far away clearly.
She walked to the edge of the roof to sniff the air for the scents of high-level zombies. Meanwhile, she tried to figure out their levels and how much they could suppress her.
The distance had been shortened a lot, so she could sense them clearly now. From the area which had been making her feel strange, she sensed the scents of human beings…a group of human beings to be precise.
‘Over ten living human beings there? And…they’re surrounded by a few level-five zombies…What’s going on there?’
That area was near downtown, so it was crowded by countless zombies. None of those people was at a super-high level: two of them were at level five, and the other few were at level four or three. So, how did they manage to enter that area? And, why didn’t the three level-five zombies around them eat them?
Lin Qiao focused her sensations on that area, but being about ten miles away, she wasn’t able to feel everything clearly. By that time, she only knew that those people were with the few zombie leaders.
Why would those people stay with dangerous zombie leaders?
Lin Qiao didn’t understand why. What she had sensed wasn’t normal in the post-apocalyptic era.
Xie Dong climbed up as well. Seeing Lin Qiao fix her eyes in that direction, he walked over and looked down. The s.p.a.ce between the buildings was filled with zombies, and more zombies were seen inside the buildings. He glanced at Lin Qiao and found that she was quietly gazing in that direction, seemingly lost in thoughts. However, he didn’t know what she had sensed, because he didn’t detect a thing from that area.
Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then decided to find those people right now to figure out what exactly was going on, because the strange feeling had been bothering her the whole time. While thinking, she signaled for Xie Dong to move stealthily, then pointed at the location of those people.
After making that hand signal, she took a step backward and leaped toward the building in front of her. In midair, she suddenly disappeared, as though she had jumped into another dimension. In fact, even Xie Dong didn’t know how Lin Qiao did it. He felt that it was a fantastic skill, perfect for launching sneak attacks.
He had witnessed Lin Qiao disappear and reappear in different places many times. However, he never noticed that she would actually become a transparent shred of shadow and keep moving even after her disappearance.
Lin Qiao leaped onto that building, then moved forward as fast as she could. After that, she leaped onto the next building. Xie Dong was aware of the fact that he couldn’t move as fast as Lin Qiao did, neither could he see her now, as she had turned herself invisible. So, he had no choice but to move toward the direction given by Lin Qiao earlier.
Lin Qiao swiftly leaped across the roofs. The buildings were at different heights, and the distances between them weren’t the same. However, she kept running and leaping without pausing. If the distance turned out to be too long, she would hop onto the treetops by the roadsides, then trample on the branches to move forward.
The closer she got to those people, she uneasier she felt. She ignored the three level-five zombies, and was only eager to find out the truth about those people. The vibes of those human beings were strange to her, but that strange feeling forbade her from neglecting those people.
In half an hour, Lin Qiao arrived at their location.
It was so weird! From the roof of a tall building, Lin Qiao saw the group of people moving on the road, surrounded by many ordinary zombies. Those drooling zombies had their teeth bared, following these people slowly forward.
They surrounded this group of people, but kept a distance of about two meters from them, not daring to come closer to them.
This group of people obediently moved forward, because three higher level zombies had their eyes on them: one at the front, one at the back, and one at the side. The one at the front was clearly leading the way, and the one beside the group swung its arms from time to time, as if herding sheep. The one behind was keeping these people from escaping.
Lin Qiao observed the three zombie leaders, whose original looks were unrecognizable. Lin Qiao couldn’t even tell if they used to be men or women, old or young. Their faces were all covered in blood. Their mouths were huge, sharp teeth bared, and black eyes bulged. Back in the old world, these three could have scared people right to death.
