Long Qingying silently turned to glance at Du Yuanxing when she saw the sunglasses worn on Lin Qiaoâs face. After that, she turned back to continue staring at Lin Qiao while trying to ask her a question, âDid youâŠsave us?â
Long Qingying remembered that before she passed out, the short big-headed zombie had already charged at her and her teammates while they were incapable of reacting. At that time, she had known that she was in danger, but couldnât manage to fight back.
She also saw that a claw stopped the big-headed zombie and pierced into its head swiftly, fiercely, and accurately. After that, the big-headed zombie uttered a shrill scream which knocked her and her teammates out.
She observed the surrounding environment, then realized that she was in a hotel room. The decorations in the room continued to be the same as before the apocalypse. The room was untidy and dusty, meaning that no one had been here before.
Long Qingying tried to talk to Lin Qiao because the latter had written her and her teammates a note before. Since she understood that Lin Qiao knew how to communicate, she decided to try building a conversation with her.
Lin Qiao calmly nodded at her.
Looking at the sunglasses that she was wearing, Long Qingying continued with confusion, âYouâre a zombieâŠBut, why can you understand our words? You can write, and you saved us. Are you really a zombie?â
Lin Qiao directly showed her claws.
âSo why did you save us? Shouldnât you be eating us? Donât all zombies eat human beings?â Long Qingying asked.
Lin Qiao picked up the notepad and began writing with patienceââIâm a zombie, but Iâm different from ordinary zombies. I donât need to feed on human beings. I saved you because I need to ask you about a few people.â
Finishing writing, she approached Long Qingying with the notepad.
The latter automatically moved backward. Even though the zombie hadnât shown any hostility, she didnât dare to let it get close to her. After all, zombies were spreading the virus, and were all highly dangerous.
Seeing Long Qingyingâs move, Lin Qiao stopped moving. She had no other choice but to step back, rip the piece of paper off the notepad and wad it up, then throw it at Long Qingying.
Long Qingying caught it, then unwrapped and read the note. After that, she raised her head to look at Lin Qiao and asked, âYouâŠAre really different from the other zombies. Who do you want to know about?â
As Lin Qiao prepared to write the names of her mother, brothers, and sisters, Du Yuanxing, who was lying on the other bed, woke up as well.
âEm⊠OuchâŠâ he moaned in pain, then took a deep breath. After that, he sat up from the bed with a twisted face.
âWhat happened⊠this place is⊠Oh! My sunglasses!â He sat up and raised his head to look around, then saw Lin Qiao, who was standing by the bedside wearing his sunglasses. He recognized his sunglasses immediately. To confirm, he touched the bag around his waist and found that it was as empty as he had thought.
Lin Qiao looked at him and curved her lips to give him a smile. As a result, her white and sharp teeth were exposed.
After becoming a zombie, her smile had become awfully scary, and she couldnât do anything to change that.
Seeing her sharp teeth, Du Yuanxing somehow sensed a coldness from his heart. So, he silently turned his eyes away from Lin Qiaoâs face to Long Qingying.
Long Qingying stood up, moving toward Du Yuanxing.
âWhatâs going on? Why are we here?â As Long Qingying came to him, Du Yuanxing stood up as well and asked with a low voice.
âDidnât you see it? He saved us,â Long Qingying fixed her eyes on Lin Qiao while responding, also with a low voice.
Du Yuanxing was confused. âIs he a zombie or a man? Why did he save us?â He asked.
Long Qingying rolled her eyes. âHe has admitted that heâs a zombie before, so isnât it a little dumb for you to ask this question now?â She thought.
âZombieâŠHe saved us, and he has requirements.â Long Qingying believed that asking for information could be counted as a requirement.
âWhat requirements? Does he want to eat us one by one?â Du Yuanxing asked.
Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and couldnât help but click her tongue. She felt that this man was a little silly.
Long Qingying didnât know what to say.
She felt that Du Yuanxingâs brain might not have started working since he just woke up. Therefore, she didnât answer the manâs question, but looked at Lin Qiao.
âWho do you want to know about?â She asked.
Hearing what Long Qingying had said, Du Yuanxing learned that the zombieâs requirement was to ask about some people. So, he sighed in relief, then realized that he should check his own body condition.
What people feared the most about leaving the bases for action was to be infected by the zombie virus. The slightest infection could cost them their lives. Therefore, they all needed to try their best and prevent any possibility of infection from happening.
For example, they couldnât let themselves be scratched or bitten by zombies, or eat mutant plants, or be attacked by zombie beasts or other mutant creatures.
Du Yuanxing checked his own body over and over again, and found nothing wrong. Except for the slight dull ache in his head, he was perfectly unharmed.
At that point, Lin Qiao was writingââHave you heard about Lin Feng, Huang Mei, Lin Wenwen, and Lin Hao?â
Finishing writing, she wadded the paper up and threw it at Long Qingying again.
Long Qingying caught the paper wad and unwrapped it. Du Yuanxing moved over to read the note as well. After that, he turned to Lin Qiao with confusion.
âDo you know them? Why are you looking for them?â He asked.
Lin Qiao nodded. Of course, she knew them. Those people were her family. Even though she had changed into a different creature, they were still her family.
She was looking for them because she wanted to know their current situation and what kind of a life they were now living.
From Du Yuanxingâs tone, Lin Qiao had sensitively detected his vigilance.
She looked at Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying with confusion. The expression in Du Yuanxingâs face had apparently told her that he knew her family. But, she didnât quite understand the vigilance in his eyes.
That seemed to be an awareness of protection.
Not only did Du Yuanxing and his team know Lin Feng and his family, they were also trying to protect them.
Lin Qiao felt that the looks in the faces of Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing were a little strange. She knew well enough about her own brother, who wasnât a weak person. Even if he didnât become a superpowered man, surviving in the post-apocalyptic world wouldnât be a difficult thing for him, because he used to be a battalion commander.

He was an even more experienced soldier than herself. So, he would be strong enough to protect himself and his family.
However, judging by the looks of Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing, Lin Qiao now felt that Lin Feng and his family werenât in a good situation. The vigilance in the eyes of Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing was strangely strong, as if she would do something to Lin Feng and his families.
âNo, their vigilance isnât against me, but against many people!â Lin Qiao then thought. âHave my families encountered any trouble in the base?â
Lin Qiao had sensed a lot of things from the expressions and emotions of Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing. What allowed her to do that wasnât only her keen judgment as a soldier, but also that her mind-reading ability having grown further stronger.
âCan you tell us whatâs your relationship with Lin Feng?â Long Qingying asked frowningly.
