Zombie Sister Strategy

Xie Dong knew that Lin Qiao was going toward the southern bases. Only two bases were built in the South, the Earth Dragon Base and Hades Base.

The Earth Dragon Base was built by the survivors from Fujian, Jiangxi, and Hunan provinces, while the Hades Base was built by the survivors from Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hainan Provinces.

Lin Qiao didn’t know which base her families were in, but at the moment, she was going south anyway.

Xie Dong didn’t have a family. The only one who was relatively close to him was a woman, but she couldn’t be counted as his lover. He couldn’t go back like this, and he was even more unlikely to meet that woman. Even if she saw him, she might never want to get close to him again anyway.

The base wouldn’t have him back either. Even if he returned, the people in the base might find out that he had become a zombie even though he now looked just like a normal human being. At that time, they would kill him straight away. After all, the base had devices running for detecting the zombie virus. So, once he approached, all alarms in the base would go off.

However, he didn’t know what should he do out here. He no longer needed to form a team with others to hunt zombies for food and for survival, because he just didn’t need human food anymore.

He had no friends to protect and no families who relied on him. Suddenly, he didn’t know what to do next.

Looking at his confused face, Lin Qiao understood that he didn’t know where to go. Abruptly, she wrote down on the paper— ‘Or, you can go South with me.’

She felt quite lonely and bored when she was alone. Although she had a little one in her space, she wouldn’t say no to another companion.

Reading the note that she handed over, Xie Dong paused slightly, then his eyes twinkled.

She was right! He had no idea how to survive like this. Looking at this strange female zombie in front of him, Xie Dong felt it was better to stay with her for the time being, as he had no place to go at the moment anyway.

Xie Dong didn’t need to nod, because Lin Qiao had already received his thought. She raised her head to glance at this space, then wrote a few words on the paper.

‘We can’t go out for now. You stay in this space.’

She meant that this place could serve as his room. Lin Qiao wanted him to stay here because she was worried that he might drool over Wu Yueling if he went out, and might someday fail to restrain himself and pounce upon her.

Xie Dong nodded. He didn’t care where Lin Qiao let him stay. But, thinking of Wu Yueling, he still felt curious about why this female zombie stole someone’s daughter. However, as she had shown no intentions to hurt the kid, he stopped worrying so much.

Besides, that little princess seemed to have a not-so-bad relationship with this female zombie.

He recalled that earlier on, Wu Yueling had tried to protect Lin Qiao and stop him from shooting. That made him feel a little surprised.

All people in the Sea City Base knew that the little princess wouldn’t get close to anyone. It was not because she was too proud, but because she had autism. She was a solitary kid, and she never wanted to be close with people. No matter how familiar a person was to her, she wouldn’t talk to him or her. In the entire base, she would only communicate with her father and a superpowered woman.

But now, he had seen that this solitary little princess was actually willing to get close to a… female zombie, who was ugly and had been behaving weirdly!

Xie Dong looked at Lin Qiao with confusion.

Lin Qiao threw a glance back at him.

Xie Dong rubbed his nose as he knew that she heard him calling her ugly just now.

Lin Qiao stood up and walked out with some biscuits, the notebook, map, pen, and a bottle of water.

Xie Dong didn’t follow her out, but stayed in the small space.

After coming out, Lin Qiao spent a moment in sensing the situation out of her space. She found that the two level-three zombies had disappeared, leaving nothing but a few chewed corpses in the room. However, she could still sense the zombie leader’s vibe near this area.

The zombie leader was still waiting, and didn’t seem to want to leave.

Since it was waiting outside, Lin Qiao decided just to let it wait. Nothing would happen as long as she didn’t go out.

…

At this moment, in an office in the administration building of Sea City Base, a handsome young man in his early twenties was looking down, reading some documents. He was wearing a slim cut white shirt, with a thin black blazer draped over his shoulders. He looked clean and tidy, with a calm personality, seeming like a top tiered person.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of his office.

“Come in.” This handsome man responded without raising his head.

The door was immediately pushed open, and another young man in a white shirt stood by the door. His shirt was clean, but was hanging loosely instead of being tucked in. The three buttons in his chest area were unbuttoned, revealing his collarbones and a half of his chest.

This man had a unisex face, which was strangely beautiful, but not feminine.

He kept one hand in his trouser pocket while holding a sheet of paper with the other. Lazily leaning against the door frame, he began talking, “Tianyi, I have news here. It’s about your evil sister. I wonder if you’re interested.”

Hearing him, the man who had been reading documents in the office raised his head while knitting his long and slim brows. His face was filled with disgust and impatience as he looked at the man at the door.

“I have nothing to do with her since a long time ago. How many times have I told you to not mention her to me? Can’t you see that I’m in the middle of something?” He responded discontentedly.

The man at the door slightly raised his hands to make a pose of surrender, but meanwhile, he continued talking with a careless look, “Alright, alright, alright! I get it… But, are you sure that you don’t want to hear this? Since you’re not interested, I’ll leave with this letter. But, I’m telling you that you might regret if you never get to know about this.”

Although he had talked about leaving, this man continued to lean against the doorframe instead of moving. He didn’t seem like he wanted to leave at all.

Lu Tianyi continued reading the documents in his hands. Three seconds later, he threw the documents on the desk and then raised his head, asking impatiently and helplessly, “Say it… What has she done this time?”

Since the news was delivered by this man himself, Lu Tianyi assumed that the woman must have done something serious and bad again. Otherwise, he could have let someone else bring the message.

This man delivered the message himself also because he didn’t want other people to know its contents.

Hearing Lu Tianyi, this man named Kong Qingming stood straight and walked in with the letter. After closing and locking the door, he walked up to Lu Tianyi’s desk.

He put the letter on the desk and pushed it toward Lu Tianyi, then said, “She has indeed done something, but that’s not what I’m gonna say. What I’m going to tell you is… She’s dead.”

The expression on Lu Tianyi’s face paused briefly. Even though he still looked quite calm, Kong Qingming noticed his pupils shrinking slightly.

Kong Qingming took a small step backward and then put both of his hands in his trouser pockets. He stood still, looking at Lu Tianyi while showing an idle manner with his whole body.

After pausing for a moment, Lu Tianyi picked up the letter with a frown while asking, “What happened? How could she die suddenly? Wasn’t she with Lin Yong and the other few?”
