Chapter 622: Zombie Or Cat
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao didn’t urge him, but let him sit there and think. With the two behind her, she watched the large panther’s standing hair slowly lie back down, and his long tail wag from left to right, tail tip curled.
As he unwittingly relaxed his tightened body, his flattened ears were c.o.ked.
He was as tall and strong as a man, but somehow, those ears made him look a little adorable.
Lin Qiao smilingly looked at those black ears. Panther ears weren’t as big as cat ears. That black panther’s ears were thick, tiny, and triangular. That zombie’s hair weren’t as dry and withered as the hair or normal zombies. Instead, they were black and clean, albeit a little messy.
The longer the zombie thought about his current situation, the stronger he felt that it was not good. He raised his head to look at Lin Qiao, his eyes containing disbelief. He clearly remembered that those people took his blood a couple of times. He didn’t know what they did with his blood. But, without seeing it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t believe Lin Qiao’s words.
“Do you want to confirm it? Alright, I can send you out, then you can scout around for the truth,” said Lin Qiao.
The zombie looked at her with surprise. Why was she able to guess out his every thought? She guessed way too accurately!
He flicked his ears and swung his tail from the right to left.
“Do you agree? If you do, I’ll let you out,” Lin Qiao smiled at him.
Hearing her, the zombie dropped his tail and flicked his ears again. After that, he disarmed himself and turned back into a zombie. Then, he nodded at her.
Lin Qiao stood up and walked toward him.
“Don’t move.” While speaking, she pressed a hand on the zombie’s shoulder and grasped his clothes. After that, they both disappeared in front of Xie Dong and Lu Tianyi.
The zombie’s eyes were dazzled shortly, and after that, he found that he had come into a strange room from that weird living room.
“Let’s get out,” Lin Qiao waved at him, walking to the door.
They were in the bas.e.m.e.nt where she killed that squad of Huaxia Base people. Except for the man who was sent out by the squad leader to find the missing squad member, all the others had been vanished by Lin Qiao.
The zombie showed a strange look on his face.
Earlier, he guessed that he was in Lin Qiao’s s.p.a.ce. And now, it turned out to be true! She was a s.p.a.ce-powered zombie, so she was supposed to be weak, wasn’t she? However, why had she been giving out such a strong, suppressive vibe?
He watched Lin Qiao walk to the door, then turn and wave at him. She had really brought him out. Wasn’t she afraid that he might run away?
Once they left the small building in Lin Qiao’s s.p.a.ce, the zombie felt that the weird suppression was gone, and so was the bounded feeling. His started to regain his energy quickly. In not long, he would be able to fight.
He needed to defeat her if he wanted to leave by himself, didn’t he? She was a s.p.a.ce-powered zombie, so he figured that she wasn’t as powerful as an animal-powered zombie like himself!
The zombie’s hair grew long again. He wagged his tail, and his pair of ears pointed backward.
Lin Qiao, who was opening the door, paused. She turned her head slightly and smiled at the zombie, “Do you wanna fight me? Are you sure?”
While speaking, she spread her palm, and a wisp of flame emerged in her hand.
Seeing that black flame, the panther instantly froze. Then, he moved backward and pressed his back against the wall behind him, all his hair standing straight up. The black fire was tiny, yet the sense of danger it gave out made the zombie nervous.
As a zombie, being too sensitive was not a good thing! He always got himself frightened!
Seeing his reaction, Lin Qiao dropped her hand with satisfaction and made the fire disappear.
Even before she died, her dark fire was highly threatening to zombies. After turning into a zombie, the power of her fire had grown many times more powerful than before. Now, she could easily threaten other zombies with it.
It was the first time that zombie sensed the power of her flame. The fire was too powerful, so he reacted that way.
“What’s your decision? Shall we get out or not?” Lin Qiao stood by the door and said to the zombie.
“Hahhh…” The zombie flattened his ears and uttered a deep growl like a cat. He stood still, staring at Lin Qiao vigilantly, his tail wagging nonstop.
“d.a.m.n, are you a zombie or a cat? Panthers don’t do that, do they?” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked.
The zombie paused briefly, then glared at Lin Qiao with discontentment. He didn’t like being called a cat.
He was not a cat!
“Alright, stop looking at me. Let’s go! It’s bustling up there. Let’s get up and watch the show!” Lin Qiao ignored his reaction and waved at him again.
“You’re a level-seven anyhow. I’m at the same level as you, the same level! You surely can’t defeat me, but you don’t need to be so afraid of me, do you?” Lin Qiao walked out of the door. In the dark underground path, she murmured while going up the stairs.
“Roar!” ‘I’m not afraid of you! Your fire is just too weird!’
The zombie gave an unhappy roar behind her. His deep, beast-roar-like voice sounded very loud in that quiet underground path.
Lin Qiao ignored him, and just kept moving upstairs.
It was late at night, but the base was very busy. The alarm had stopped, but more and more soldiers showed up.
In the secret conference room of Huaxia Base, someone was furious.
“Why is it missing? I told you to deliver the package to Room No.7, but you lost it! Even the squad went missing! Why didn’t you disappear as well? Why are you here?” A nearly seven-feet tall man angrily glared at a man in a camouflage suit, who was down on one knee by the door.
The man in a camouflage suit was a member of the squad which moved the zombie out of the research inst.i.tution. Earlier on, he was sent by his leader out of the building where the leaders of the other bases lived to look for the missing squad member.
At that moment, his face was covered in cold sweat. With panic, he lowered his voice and responded, “I… I don’t know! Captain told me to go out and look for Weishe. I didn’t find him, and when I got back to the bas.e.m.e.nt, n.o.body was there! I thought Captain and the others went to Room No.7 without me, so I went there. But, they weren’t there either, and the package was gone too!”
He didn’t know what happened. He was sent out to find someone, but failed. When he got back, the entire squad was gone. Something bad must have happened. Otherwise, how could the squad possibly disappear during a mission?
