While Xie Dong was holding the gun and firing at the level-five zombie which had been crawling all over the wall, his eyes were suddenly dazzled, and then the scene before him changed completely.
The wall and the insides of the dilapidated building were gone! The level-five zombie was gone! Where did these green grasses and this lake come from?
Before he figured out what exactly he was looking at, he suddenly turned and pointed his gun at a figure standing not far away from him.
âA zombie?â
Xie Dong paused for a second before automatically firing a shot at the zombie.
Bang!
Facing the bullet that flew at her, Lin Qiao moved slightly and clenched her hand, grasping the bullet in her hand. In her eyes, the movement of the bullet had been too slow. Therefore, she caught it easily without even needing to look at it.
Xie Dong was shocked into silence.
This zombie had actually caught his bullet. He now knew that this zombie was very powerful, but he couldnât tell which level it had reached.
His heart sank when he saw Lin Qiao catch the bullet so easily. Looking around at this strange environment, he had guessed that this was a separate space.
âA space zombie!â
Before he could confirm the facts, he saw the zombie in front of him throw the bullet at him, its face filled with dislike!
The bullet landed gently on his head.
âEh? What do the disgust and the scorn in the zombieâs eyes mean? Since when can a zombie have such a human expression?â
Because of Lin Qiaoâs reaction, Xie Dong looked at her with nothing but a look of confusion on his face. However, he never relaxed his vigilance still. Tightening his body, he gripped the gun as he stared at Lin Qiao without moving.
Then, he watched this zombie make a gesture, one that left him dumbfounded again.
The zombieâs gesture told him, âStop! The situation has changed.â
It wasnât important that he could understand what the zombie meant. What was important was that this zombieâs gesture was a hand signal from the special forces training camps.
Even some ordinary soldiers wouldnât know about this hand signal, so how could a zombie know? Was this zombie a special forces soldier before death? Did she still retain her lifetime memories after she died and became a zombie?
However, that was impossible! The virus infection would hit the brain first. Basically, zombiesâ brain neurons were eroded by the virus, which was the reason why they became âzombiesâ. Zombies were not conscious beings, and they only had the instinct of eating human beings. Even if they upgraded, their old memories wouldnât be regained.
When Xie Dong was measuring Lin Qiao with his eyes, a pebble flew over from the side and hit his body.
Next, a small figure suddenly ran over and stopped before Lin Qiao, spreading her arms to shield her. Her little face was filled with vigilance as she stared at Xie Dong.
âAre my eyes going bonkers or what? How can I see Chief Wuâs precious daughter in this place?â Xie Dong thought.
Wu Yueling panicked when she saw a strange man show up and point a gun at the zombie.
She knew that that thing was called a gun, which could blow off a zombieâs head. She couldnât let this zombieâs head be blown off!
âArenât you⌠You are⌠Come over here! EhâŚâ Xie Dongâs widened his eyes as he looked at Wu Yueling and said to her, his face filled with confusion.
He was anxious to call Wu Yueling over, because he now realized that the creature standing behind this child was a man-eating zombie!
However, before he could finish, a light-headed feeling nearly made him kneel.
He glanced at his scratched wounds which were inflicted by other zombies earlier and realized that the virus inside his body had begun attacking.
He had been concentrating intensely on himself the whole time, but just now, he was too distracted by the appearance of the little girl. Once he slightly unstrung his spirit, his body started responding to the virus infection.
While pointing the gun at Lin Qiao with difficulty, he said to Wu Yueling, âYou⌠You come here now⌠Thatâs a zombie⌠Itâs gonna eat youâŚâ
He had no time now to think about why this zombie would know the signals of special forces soldiers. He just wanted the child to stay away from that dangerous zombie.
He didnât know why this child was in this zombieâs space without the latter having eaten her. There were too many questions that Xie Dong didnât have the time to think about.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Wu Yueling shook her head and remained standing motionlessly before the zombie.
Noticing the change in Xie Dongâs expression, Lin Qiaoâs eyes sparkled. She knew that it was the virus inside his body attacking.
Earlier on, when she saw Xie Dong rush out of the zombie crowd, she knew that it was already too late to save him. However, she had no other way. She couldnât just go out there and fight the level-five zombie leader, as she felt that she had no chance of winning.
At that time, she was also feeling anxious, wondering how she could make herself invisible and get Xie Dong inside her space without attracting the zombie leaderâs attention.
In the next moment, she suddenly entered a very strange state. She felt dizzy as though she was falling asleep, but then saw some blurred images that felt like a dream, but also like an imagination.
After that, when she finally was clear-headed again, she saw a bullet flying toward her. Fortunately, her eyesight was different from that of ordinary human beings. She clearly saw the track of the bullet, feeling that it wasnât moving fast enough.
Before she realized what was happening, her hand reacted before her brain could and caught the bullet.
He had actually shot at her! At that moment, Lin Qiao was a bit angry. She then disdainfully threw the bullet back and showed him a hand signal that only special forces soldiers knew.
Based on the battles that Xie Dong had fought earlier, she figured at first glance that he was a special forces soldier.
Therefore, she used a hand signal to make him stop. However, she couldnât have known that right at that moment, the little one would run out and shield her, seemingly trying to protect her.
Lin Qiao was slightly surprised. She truly hadnât expected that the little thing would worry about her. The child was tiny in size, but her courage was not! Did she recklessly run out to shield her like that simply because she didnât want her to die? Wasnât she afraid of death herself?
Lin Qiao felt slightly gratified. At least, this child had thought to protect her now! This child actually thought to protect her! What kind of a normal child would think of protecting a zombie?

She gently reached out a hand and pressed it on Wu Yuelingâs tiny arm, then walked out from behind her and slightly turned her body in order to shield the latter.
Lin Qiao could clearly tell that Xie Dong was turning into a zombie.
âHmm⌠Eh? Ahhhhhh!â Xie Dongâs brain was attacked by a horribly severe pain, which immediately made him stop worrying about Wu Yuelingâs safety as he could barely be concerned about himself now.
The intense pain in his head made him stoop. The rifle fell from his hands to the ground. To a former soldier, the gun was his life. However, the gun now lay forgotten on the ground as Xie Dong was already in too much pain to stay conscious at this moment.
He held his head tightly with both hands, pressing hard while bending downward. He then fell onto the ground, his whole body twitching and curling up.
