Zombie Sister Strategy

While driving, Lin Qiao was thinking about how should she obtain the news about Lin Feng and her other family members. She didn’t know if they were in the Hades Base. They might be in another base, or they might have left already…

The good thing was that she had as much time as she needed. Even though the final result could be bad, she still wanted a result.

If she could restore her look…

Suddenly, she had an idea and she automatically pressed on the break. The car stopped abruptly, and the inertia made both her and Qiu Lili lean forward.

Qiu Lili reacted quickly. She immediately supported her body with her hands, then turned to look at Lin Qiao in confusion. She didn’t know why the latter had suddenly stopped the car like this.

Lin Qiao couldn’t spare her attention for Qiu Lili at that moment, because she was recalling her experience down in the middle of the lake in her space.

She remembered that after she came out of the lake, the wounds on her lower legs were mostly healed, and her lost flesh had regrown. If the lake water could restore her look, finding her family would become much easier for her.

However, she didn’t make the decision herself to go down into the lake the last time, and instead was summoned down there. So, she didn’t know if those energy vines would show up again and help restore her body when she took her initiative to go down.

After stopping the car, Lin Qiao turned back and got off the car without saying a word to Qiu Lili. In the next moment, she disappeared right beside the car.

‘What happened? Eh?’ Qiu Lili was left in confusion.

After entering her space, Lin Qiao stood beside the lake. She first looked at the lake, then glanced around. She didn’t see Junjun, but could sense her vibe; the latter was in still that small space.

She turned back and took off her clothes. If those energy vines really showed up, her clothes would disappear anyway.

Lin Qiao would bathe in the lake every day. Her body couldn’t carry out metabolism, but could still get dirty. The outside world was awfully dusty, so after spending a day out there, she would always be covered in dust.

In the harsh post-apocalyptic world, being able to bathe every day was an extremely luxurious thing. Only the base leaders and the capable people could afford to do that.

After taking off her clothes, Lin Qiao glanced at her lower legs. Her lower legs now looked already like that of healthy human beings, just with a different color. Her unwounded skin was bluish white, while the newly grown skin was bright white.

The difference between her two skin colors was quite apparent.

She then looked at the wounds on her thighs. While bathing, she had slowly ripped off the scabs there and exposed the newly grown flesh. However, the surface of her thighs was still rough.

As for her stomach and chest… She should better not look there, as her intestines would always fall out.

Lin Qiao raised her head and took a deep breath, then walked into the lake.

At that moment, she was recalling what had happened the last time. Back then, her mind wasn’t clear, as if she was summoned by something. She felt nothing at first, but when she reached the bottom of the lake and was wrapped up by the vines, her mind was clear again.

Her heart sank a little when she thought about suffering that unbearable pain and brain-exploding feeling without being able to pass out. However, she still walked forward.

At first, she was walking on hard rocks. But, she didn’t feel uncomfortable as her feet were dead, and could barely feel a thing.

After going down to the lake, the buoyancy of water began holding her up. She thrust her feet against the lake bottom and started swimming.

The lake was not large, so she soon swam to the center. However, after floating in the lake for a while, she suddenly didn’t know what to do.

Earlier on, after she saw the energy flowing inside that little boy’s body, she had come back to her space to check the lake. Back then, she was able to see the large area of glowing greenness in the middle of the lake. The nearer to the center she got, the brighter it was, as if a certain amount of fluorescent liquid was gathered together. The further from the lake center she got, the fainter the color was.

Only after what happened down in the middle of the lake was she able to see that green light.

Lin Qiao was now floating above that greenness, but no green vines were showing up at the time. She dove down into the water, toward the center of the lake bottom; but, a strange buoyancy had been stopping her from reaching the bottom.

Therefore, she had no choice but to float in the lake, trying to figure out a way to dive down.

The water was very clear and glowing. However, she could see nothing but the green light.

‘How should I go down? How to make those green vines wrap me again? Why did it happen the last time?’ Lin Qiao floated in the lake, pondering over these questions while recalling what happened the last time.

She thought about it over and over again, yet couldn’t figure out a thing. But suddenly, she sensed some energy waves from the lake bottom. Then, she saw a finger-thick green vine wriggling out of the green light like a snake. It was so long that she couldn’t see the other end of it. The only thing she saw was it reaching up then gently coiling around her ankle.

Suddenly, a message emerged from her mind.

‘The energy isn’t enough, so the energy can’t be triggered!’

Once Lin Qiao received that message, the vine uncoiled from her ankle and quickly drew back down.

She started thinking about that message.

‘The energy isn’t enough, so the energy can’t be triggered’ … What did it mean? She knew that the second ‘energy’ referred to the green light underneath her, but what was the first ‘energy’?

Was that her own energy? She was a zombie without great superpowers. If she did have a superpower, it should be her space, shouldn’t it? But, she hadn’t sensed any kind of energy from herself yet, had she?

Or… As she was a zombie, should she replenish her own energy with the nuclei of other zombies?

She then recalled that she hadn’t been fighting any other zombies for quite a while, or getting any zombie nuclei. Did that vine just tell her to first fill herself with energy, then come back to the lake?

The more she thought that way, the more she felt that it was right. In that case, she now knew how to find the answer!

With that thought, she immediately swam toward the lakeside.

Junjun was standing the entrance of the small space, looking at her curiously.

She had sensed Lin Qiao’s vibe once the latter came in, so she came out to take a look. Then, she found that the latter had taken off her clothes and jumped into the lake.

She first thought that Lin Qiao was going for a bath, then saw the latter begin swimming. But after that, Lin Qiao strangely stopped in the middle of the lake and quietly floated there. She couldn’t figure out what Lin Qiao was doing in the lake, but was quite curious; so, she remained standing by the entrance of the small space and looking at Lin Qiao.
