Chapter 608: Sleeping Zombie
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
That zombie was in a deep sleep, so Lin Qiao couldn’t feel much of his condition. After spending a while observing it in the freezing chamber, she turned and to look at those devices nearby.
Three minutes later, she realized that she couldn’t understand a thing on the screens of those devices.
She turned quietly and walked to a table to read the files on it. Those files were about the research progress, including some special terms. Lin Qiao recognized those words, yet didn’t understand their meanings.
She was a leader, yet she had no knowledge about science and technology. Before the apocalypse, she was merely a soldier. She knew quite a lot about carrying missions or killing people!
She surely wouldn’t touch those files, as there were other people in the research room. She wanted to find some files about that zombie, but those seemed to have been put away.
She raised her head and glanced at those researchers in the room. They were all doing their own jobs quietly.
She thought for a moment, then reached her hand to the folder named ‘The experimental source zombie’. The folder disappeared once she touched it.
The people in the room didn’t notice that, as they continued to focus on their work.
Lin Qiao then flashed into her s.p.a.ce. Lu Tianyi was sitting on a couch in the small building. All of a sudden, a folder appeared on the tea table before him. Before he could react, Lin Qiao flashed in.
After entering the s.p.a.ce, she immediately walked to the table, then bent over and picked up the folder. Holding it, she sat on the other couch and started reading.
She opened the folder and saw a series of numbers under that zombie’s photo. Above those numbers was a name. They actually gave that zombie a name—Macuy. It was a male zombie, with animal power, at level-seven.
Animal power?
Lin Qiao was a little confused. Was he a zombie who had animal power? Like Yun Meng? Was he able to turn into a beast? Or, was it like Ye Hao from Earth Dragon Base?
With those thoughts, Lin Qiao looked at the zombie’s photo in the file. That zombie looked fierce. His teeth were bared, eyes dark; his pupils were erect like some wild animals’.
‘So ugly!’ Lin Qiao said to herself. That zombie looked exactly like a beast, and that picture was taken before its transformation.
Two hours later…
“Tranquilizer number two is ready!” said one of those researchers.
“Let me test it first,” another researcher walked over.
“Here you go,” The first man handed the tranquilizer to him.
The second man took over the tranquilizer and brought it to a weird device, then picked up a tool and took a drop of the tranquilizer out of the test tube with it.
Sensing their movements, Lin Qiao immediately flashed out of her base and came closer to that device to look at it carefully. She was curious about how they created that tranquilizer which could be used on zombies.
A couple of minutes later, that researcher raised his head and said, “It’s good. Later, give him tranquilizer number two after feeding him.”
“It’s about time. We can take him there.”
After that, Lin Qiao noticed that a few people entered the freezing chamber.
She looked at those researchers with confusion. Not long ago, they said that they needed to stop that zombie from waking up. But now, they seemed to be waking it up. What on earth was going on?
Feed? What were they doing?
Next, she saw those people who had their bodies wrapped entirely in their suits unchain that zombie from the shelf, and then carry him into another room. Once the door of that room was opened, Lin Qiao sensed a faint scent of blood. That room might have been cleaned carefully, but the b.l.o.o.d.y scent still lingered inside.
At that moment, all the researchers in the room gathered before the monitor screen.
Lin Qiao went there as well. On the screen, she saw that zombie in an empty room, along with the researchers who had just unchained him.
Those researchers quickly put that motionless zombie on the ground, then evacuated speedily. They locked all the locks in the room while leaving. Once they left, protective equipment quickly descended from the ceiling.
After that, a small door in a corner of that room suddenly opened, and then a person was pushed in from that door.
That was a man, with his hands and feet chained together. He looked very confused. Once he was pushed in, the door behind him was locked.
Soon, that man turned and saw the zombie who was lying on the other side of the room. In the next moment, his face was filled with fear. He rushed to the door which he came in from, banging on the door as hard as he could.
Lin Qiao frowned while looking at the screen. She had guessed some of that.
It seemed that those people were feeding that zombie dominator with that man.
That man banged on the door with his greatest strength. But, as the door stayed closed, he quickly searched around the room for another exit. After searching through the whole room in vain, he became despaired. He curled up in a corner and looked at that zombie while s.h.i.+vering.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Qiao sensed that the vibe inside that room was growing stronger and stronger. She knew that that zombie was going to wake up. Half an hour later, that vibe stopped rising. Although it didn’t make Lin Qiao feel under threat, it was strong, and no weaker than the vibe of any level-seven being.
She was aware that that was not the zombie’s true power. His power might have been suppressed.
She turned and glanced at those researchers, finding them all wearing a bland face, as if what was happening was completely normal. They all watched that man in that room with an indifferent att.i.tude.
At that point, the zombie slowly stood up from the ground. The ice on his body had melted into water, so his entire body was soaked.
Seeing him stand up, the man in the corner froze. He fixed his eyes on that zombie, his pupils shrinking.
Lin Qiao thought that the zombie would immediately pounce on that man, but what happened next stunned her. That zombie abruptly turned to look at her. He fixed his purely dark eyes straight on her, and his erect pupils shrank into thin lines.
“Eh?”
“What?”
“Ah!”
As the zombie dominator suddenly looked into the camera, those researchers by Lin Qiao’s side each gave a start even before she herself could make any response.
“He… Why is he looking at us? Does he know that we’re here?”
“That’s impossible!”
“But… But, he’s staring at us! It never happened before!”
“Be careful! Security Team, you should be on high alert!”
The look in that zombie’s eyes made those researchers panic a little. They immediately warned the security team to keep their eyes open. They had no idea that that zombie wasn’t looking at them, but at Lin Qiao, who was standing behind them.
That zombie had actually sensed her existence!
Lin Qiao slightly raised her brows, wondering what that zombie would do next.
