Zombie Sister Strategy

Lin Qiao turned her head and found herself surrounded by refreshing greenery. The air was fresh, clean, and natural. It felt unpolluted by modern industry.

Even though it was just grass around her, seeing this sea of lush green brightened her mood considerably.

She struggled for a while with stiff movements, and finally stood back up before accidentally slipping and falling again.

She felt that her mouth was gaping open and that her sharp teeth seemed to have pierced through something. She was startled when she saw it clearly, and immediately pulled out her teeth to sit up.

‘Oh my!’ There was a person beside her, the infected man whom she had seen earlier. She fell onto his body and… seemed to have bitten him.

Why was this man here with her? Furthermore, what was this place? How did she get here?

She raised her head and looked at the white sky, but saw no sun.

She then turned her head to look around and found that along with the grassland was actually a small, glistening lake. She was delighted by the sight of the lake, as she immediately took one step and started moving toward the lake.

It had been midsummer the last time she had woken up. Even though she couldn’t feel the heat anymore since becoming a zombie, she could not stand her broken and dirty body.

However, Lin Qiao didn’t notice the strange change which had come over the face of the dying man who had the virus spreading all over his body. His pale skin had slowly returned to its normal color, and the blueness was fading from his lips. Obviously, this meant that the virus was leaving his body. Although at a very slow rate, it would gradually disappear over time.

In fact, at that moment, the virus was disappearing fastest from his chest that had been accidentally bitten by Lin Qiao just then.

Lin Qiao knew nothing about any of this as she excitedly walked toward the small lake. The lake looked quite nearby, but it still seemed to take forever for her to get there.

She lay face down by the lake and cupped her claws together to drink a few mouthfuls from it. Then, she took off her dress which had taken her some serious effort to put on. Looking at this devastated body, she could only imagine how cruelly Lu Tianyu had been attacked, and how much pain she had suffered before she died.

Lin Qiao took off her ragged clothes and pants, then stooped down and washed them in the lake. It took a long time to clean these clothes and pants. She was a bit of a neat-freak, so she felt extremely uncomfortable on seeing this body of hers.

As she stooped down further, her intestines fell out of her body.

After that, she sat in the lake and cleaned her intestines with her hands before tucking them back into her belly. Then, she cleaned her ragged clothes once more and wrapped her stomach with them.

As an OCD patient, she spent a long while to wrap herself and finally make herself look as clean and tidy as possible.

She felt absolutely nothing while doing all this, although she knew it must look extremely weird for anyone else.

After wrapping her belly, she began washing her arms and legs which were badly mutilated, covered in blood, and missing chunks of flesh in some parts.

While doing so, Lin Qiao didn’t feel the energy that was slowly percolating into her blood through her wounds soaked by the lake water. This energy was causing her black, clotted blood to begin flowing again while her wounds had been healing themselves. No new flesh had grown back, but the wounds were scabbing over faster than before, and the virus had disappeared completely from her body by this point.

She was still in the form of a zombie though, with a pale face and sharp teeth jutting out of her mouth.

She didn’t notice any of these changes, just as she didn’t notice what had happened to the man. At this moment, she suddenly began to feel sleepy while bathing. Before she realized anything, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Subsequently, she slept for three whole days.

When she finally woke up, she found herself still soaking in the water. She moved slightly and turned around, crawling back to the bank.

At this point, she suddenly realized that her legs had become quite agile.

She stood by the lakeside, raised a foot, and put it back down. Then, she raised it again and put it down again… After that, she kicked out with a foot! Her legs were actually as flexible as those of healthy human beings!

She opened her pure black eyes wide and looked at her hands, then glanced at her legs. She shook all her limbs, then bent her waist in different directions.

She looked just the same as before, but felt much better.

With delight, she suddenly closed her hand and tried punching out, actually managing to do it! Her punch lacked some strength, but it was swift enough.

She wondered if her voice had recovered or not.

She pondered over this for a while and then opened her mouth to say ‘Hello’.

“Roar, roar!”

A drop of sweat oozed out of her forehead when she heard her own roars. Her voice didn’t seem to have recovered.

She sighed as she raised her head, then looked around and saw the man again. She didn’t know for how long she had lain in the water, but the man hadn’t woken up.

She walked over to him and found that she could squat quite easily. His aroma had become so much stronger than earlier that it made her feel starving. She scratched his neck with her black nails, then raised her head to look at the sky with confusion.

What on earth was this place? How did they get here? How could she get out?‘Get out…’

A bright light flashed across her eyes once she began to think about how to leave. Next, she lost her balance and fell onto the ground.

“Roar!”

‘Damn it! what the hell?’ By the time Lin Qiao could react, she was surrounded by complete darkness.

‘What… What happened?’ She had been underneath a white sky moments ago, so how could she suddenly fall into darkness?

Fortunately, she still had sharp eyes and could see clearly even in the darkness. However, what she saw was like a black and white photo. She looked around, and just as she expected, the man was there as well.

‘Wait! This place looks a little familiar.’

She raised her head again and looked around, then recognized where she was. Wasn’t this the warehouse where she had broken the door, gone inside, and found this man? Why was she here again? Where were the grassland and the small lake? Where did they go?

She stood up and turned around to take a peek outside the door. The outside was empty, with no zombies or anything else.

She didn’t understand her situation. She had been in a different place just then, so how could she suddenly be back here?

She replayed what had just happened, wondering which detail went wrong that had brought her back here.

Right! Earlier in that place, she had been thinking about how she had gotten there, and how she could leave. Then, she ended up back in here.

‘ ‘Out’? Yes! Did this mean ‘out’?’

Lin Qiao had a vague sensation, so she raised her hand and touched her forehead.

Could she go back in?

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, another bright light dazzled her eyes. When she came back to her senses, she saw the green grassland and that same small lake before her once again.

This place really turned out to be some mysterious space! Did this mean that she was a superpowered one too? Did she have the space power?

Lin Qiao thought about this unsurely as she touched her forehead with her sharp nails again. This time, she definitely felt something there between her eyebrows, something that seemed to be connected with this space.

Was her superpower nucleus right inside her forehead? Lin Qiao tried to come up with another thought.
