Chapter 423: Hunt Level-Four Zombies
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
With that idea, Lin Qiao jumped into action. She quickly put Bowwow back into her s.p.a.ce and started hunting zombies. Also, she needed to find some tools like hoes and shovels.
Almost all level-four and three zombies had been driven away, so Lin Qiao needed to go to farther areas to find some of them.
Of all, only she could do something like turning zombies into coolies.
She left Mount Wu scenic area and climbed onto the tallest building nearby, then stood on the roof and closed her eyes to sense the surrounding area. As she reopened her eyes, she flashed across the air and turned invisible, heading toward the nearest level-four zombie.
Her invisible body had no shadows under the sunlight. She leaped across the tops of utility poles to approach that zombie. The buildings in this area were spa.r.s.ely arranged, separated by lots of green belts. So, Lin Qiao found stepping on utility poles more convenient.
A couple of minutes later, she arrived at an abandoned factory area.
The area wasn’t large, including a three-story factory building and a five-story dormitory building. The gate was before the factory building, and the two buildings were connected, surrounded by a couple of houses.
Those buildings were waste and dilapidated.
The iron gate was half-open. Some curtains were fluttering noisily in the wind outside the windows, looking very creepy in this desolate area. However, that was also the most often seen scene in the post-apocalyptic era.
Seeing a clean and tiny building out here would be a really strange thing.
Lin Qiao walked into the half-open gate and saw a figure swiftly flash through the third floor of the factory building.
A figure suddenly appearing in such an uninhabited could be quite a scary thing!
However, that figure was actually Lin Qiao’s target.
Almost all zombies in the Upper City District were under the control of zombie number one to seven. The zombies in the district had been driven out, and the ones outside had been driven inward. All those zombies were gathered together into a large circle to surround Victoria Hotel.
Miles around the hotel, all roads and paths and been blocked.
Meanwhile, zombie number one to seven had been keeping eyes on the areas with relatively fewer zombies; that was the mission that Lin Qiao gave them. However, it would be not easy for them to control the zombie crowd if too many level three and four zombies were in it.
Taking the middle-aged male zombie as an example, he was only controlling two level-three zombies, but wasn’t able to control any level-four zombies. He was powerful enough to suppress the level-four zombies, but it was impossible for him to control them.
Therefore, Lin Qiao ordered zombie number one to seven to drive away all the level-four zombies and most of the level-three ones.
At this moment, she walked to the stairs of the factory building, then silently went up. The zombie upstairs didn’t yet know that she was coming, so it was still wandering up there.
Lin Qiao came up and stood by the stairs, observing this level-four zombie.
It was a female zombie. Judging by her clothing and her unwounded face, she was a middle-aged woman. She was wearing a white suit which had been worn for five years, and hence already turned brown.
Her jacket was broken, even missing a sleeve. Underneath the jacket was a dress, and its edge was broken as well.
Her feet were bared and very dirty.
Her hair used to be worn in a bun, as a hairpin was still hanging loosely behind her head. Her messy hair were spread on both sides of her face.
Based on the dark blood stains on her mouth and claws, Lin Qiao figured that she had eaten quite some flesh.
The female zombie stopped walking as she sensed that someone was staring at her. She stood on the hallway and looked around warily, but found nothing suspicious. As a result, she was a little confused.
Slowly, she walked to a window and looked outside. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao slowly approached her, then looked around.
The furnis.h.i.+ngs on this floor weren’t in a mess, and were only covered in a thick layer of dust. The objects on the tables remained where they were supposed to be, and all the tables were pretty tidy.
All the chairs were under the tables, and there was no garbage on the floor.
It seemed that not too many people were here when the apocalypse happened. Lin Qiao guessed that most of the people who worked in this factory were in the dormitory building when it happened. Perhaps, she would see lots of dried blood on the floors, stairs, and walls in the dormitory building if she went over there now.
She quietly walked toward the female zombie. Her invisible feet had actually left a series of faint footprints on the dusty floor. However, that female zombie didn’t notice those.
Lin Qiao walked up to her and sniffed at her.
Ugh… she smelled awful!
Almost every zombie had that awful smell, but that female zombie smelled especially awful. That stink of rotten flesh was coming from her mouth.
If she opened her mouth, that smell might even knock out a person standing two meters away.
What made Lin Qiao feel strange was that no hostility was detected from that female zombie, and there was only a weird kind of ferocity.
Where did she get that vibe? In fact, at level-four and above, the vibe of every zombie was unique, because their vibes would vary according to their different living styles.
The two level-four zombies who used to be under Qiu Lili’s command were ugly, but not hostile, because they never killed any human beings, and rarely fought other zombies.
This female zombie who was standing before Lin Qiao’s eyes had a fierce vibe, meaning that she was a powerful one. However, she didn’t have that hostility that all the zombies which often ate human beings should have. How did that happen?
Was that because she hadn’t eaten any living human beings for a long time?
Lin Qiao stood behind her with confusion as she crossed her arms, then began scratching her pretty chin.
Those blood stains on that female zombie’s mouth and fingers should be left from the blood and flesh that she had eaten.
Lin Qiao spent a while observing her, then suddenly reached out a hand and grabbed the neck of the female zombie who was looking outside the window. In the next second, she flashed back into her s.p.a.ce.
“Roar!” The female zombie was frightened by Lin Qiao’s sudden move. She immediately raised her hand to sweep away her arm, then hunched her back and quickly jumped to a relatively safer place.
She roared at Lin Qiao fiercely; her twisted face wore obvious anger and fear.
Lin Qiao looked at her and nodded; she was fierce indeed.
“Stop roaring! No matter how loud you are, you can never defeat me. I think you know that. Perhaps, you can’t even win against him,” said Lin Qiao to her calmly. Finis.h.i.+ng talking, she pointed at the zombie dog which had quietly walked up behind the female zombies.
The female zombie turned back to find that a level-five zombie dog was at less than two-meters from her.
Once the zombie dog pounced on her, she would be torn into two pieces. That short distance between the dog and her meant she would have no chance to run.
“Roar!” The female zombie’s vibe was instantly suppressed. She looked at the zombie dog with fright, and couldn’t help but draw back in another direction.
