Zombie Sister Strategy

Lin Qiao hadn’t driven far before a farm came in her sight and attracted her attention.

Maybe because of the remote location of the town, almost nobody had ever come here since the old world ended. Most of the people who lived in the town had turned into zombies, and the surviving ones had all run away. Therefore, this place was left empty.

Earlier on, Lin Qiao had found many useful things in the store.

The road she was driving on was located behind the town. She didn’t expect to pass by a farm; or to be precise, she didn’t think that there would be a seemingly large farm behind the town.

She parked the car by the roadside, then stuck her head out to look at the vast expanse of green plants, even though the whole world was black and white in her eyes.

Many vegetable plastic greenhouses were still present on the farm. They were abandoned long ago, so most of the plastic clothes on these greenhouses were gone, leaving the frames standing there.

However, many vegetables were still growing under these frames disorderedly. The vegetables in each greenhouse were of one variety, and a total of about two acres of land in the farm was used for growing vegetables.

At a glance, Lin Qiao found the plants of all kinds of beans, potatoes, peanuts, and all sorts of melons; but sadly, over ninety percent of them seemed to have mutated.

She couldn’t see colors, but could feel the virus inside these plants. She was now not only able to sense the energy of the lake water, but was also able to sensitively feel many other things. That might have something to do with what happened to her down in the lake, but she couldn’t tell for sure.

She got off the car and sent the Wu Yueling into her space, then brought Junjun out of the small space.

She had made a rule for Junjun—she needed to come out of the space while Wu Yueling was in there, and if she wanted to get in, Lin Qiao would bring the little girl out.

At that point, Junjun trusted Lin Qiao more than before, so she left the little boy in the space without worrying too much, and came out along with the latter.

Once out, she found that they were standing by a roadside, facing a farm. In her eyes, the world was still colorless

She glanced at Lin Qiao in confusion, then the latter gave her a note.

‘Stay here. I’ll go down to take a look. You be careful in here. If any human being shows up, you should hide or find me.’

After that, Lin Qiao leaped into the vegetable field. The field hadn’t been taken care of for long, so it was overgrown with weeds, looking very waste.

When Lin Qiao arrived here, the thing she caught the first with her sharp eyes was the orchard on a hill on the other side. Only after that did she find the vegetable field down here.

She was attracted by these vegetables because she suddenly wanted to see if there were still some edible vegetables which hadn’t mutated yet.

She now had two living human beings in her space, and not just a single one. She couldn’t feed them both with nothing but strawberries, could she?

Most importantly, she sensed the scent of something edible for her from the orchard, meaning some kind of animal was in there!

After eating a mouse and a rabbit the last time, she hadn’t eaten anything for a long time. Even though the lack of food wouldn’t do much harm to her body, she always felt her teeth itchy, throat dry, and stomach grumbling, because she was staying with Wu Yueling all day.

She wanted to eat meat!

She glanced at the vegetables and weeds under her feet after stepping into the field. Walking for a while, she found some tangled vines covering the ground, but most of them carried the virus.

She squatted to look at the pumpkins on the vines. The melons were gray in her eyes. Then, she turned back and glanced at the vines and leaves. The leaves were gray as well, but the vines were black, tinged with a weird purple color.

She knew that the strange purple color she saw was the virus itself.

She couldn’t see the virus before, but now she could.

Except for the bright green color of the energy contained in the lake water, she could now see another color which living human beings couldn’t see.

What made her feel strange was that both the pumpkins and the leaves were free from the virus, and the virus was concentrated in the vines.

Why did that happen?

Looking at the weird-looking large pumpkin in front of her, Lin Qiao scratched it with her claws.

The size of the pumpkin was the same as that of normal pumpkins in the old world. What made it different from the normal pumpkins was the awfully twisted stripes on its skin.

Lin Qiao touched the pumpkin with both hands, then confirmed that it was free from the virus. It just looked weird because of the stripes on its skin, seeming to form a twisted human face! No human being would dare to touch this pumpkin, because ‘don’t touch strange mutant plants’ had become a common sense since the old world ended.

The survivors in the post-apocalyptic world wouldn’t touch any plant unless they wanted to be affected by the zombie virus.

Lin Qiao too felt that the plants in this post-apocalyptic world were strange. The ones which looked completely abnormal and mutant-like were actually non-poisonous, such as the strawberries in her space. And this pumpkin in front of her was mutant indeed, but the virus was contained in its vines instead of its fruits; which meant it was safe for healthy human beings as long as they didn’t touch its vines.

At the same time, some plants looked normal, but weren’t.

Lin Qiao looked at the hairy gourd plant next to her and found that it looked quite normal. She couldn’t see its color, but it was of a normal shape at least. However, Lin Qiao had sensed a metallic scent from its fruits.

She didn’t know how would that metallic scent affect human beings, but she saw that it was emitted from the virus inside the plant.

After glancing at the surrounding plants, Lin Qiao stood up and gently raised a foot, walking toward the orchard quietly. She had decided to fill her stomach first, then come back to study these vegetables and fruits.

Two types of trees were planted in the orchard: peaches and pears. The orchard was large, but most of the trees in it were mutant, rich in the virus.

Lin Qiao sniffed at these trees. Their scent wasn’t pleasant, but wasn’t repulsive to her either, probably because she too had the virus inside her body.

Apart from the scent of the trees, she had also sensed something else from deep in the orchard. It was a sweet aroma which boosted her sense of hunger.

She followed the aroma which attracted her, quietly walking toward its source. She might have automatically begun to prepare for the hunting, as she instinctively restrained her vibe and gently moved toward the source of the aroma like a cat, without making any sound.
