Zombie Sister Strategy

After leaving Wu Chengyue’s place, Lin Qiao climbed onto a tree outside, then leaped out. Stepping on utility poles and building roofs, he moved fleetingly toward Lin Feng’s place.

She stopped near an administration building in Region D, then jumped down.

At this moment in an alley near the building, some people were surrounded.

Chen Yuting, a vice-captain of his squad, and a few squad members of his were stuck in the alley by another group of people.

The one who barred their road was a deputy chief and his subordinates.

This deputy chief was exactly the one who had talked to Tang He earlier, also Yang Chao’s right-hand man. At that moment, he was standing in a clean spot, leaning against the wall and smoking. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and wasn’t looking at Chen Yuting and his people.

Chen Yuting and his people were staring at him, their faces showing anger, resentment, and fear.

“Lu Ting was killed by zombies,” he said, “I had said that you shouldn’t have let that woman follow the squad out of the base. Now she’s dead, but what made you think that you can blame us for not keeping her safe? Besides, people should be responsible for their own safety outside the base. She has died, but what can we do about it? If you didn’t want her to die, you shouldn’t have let her go out of the base.”

The deputy chief’s name was Piao Gechang. He faced Chen Yuting and his people sideways as he put the cigarette between his lips and took a deep inhalation, then let out the smoke from his nostrils.

“I don’t need so many excuses,” he said blandly. “You should be aware that she was a space-powered person, and how rare space-powered people are. Why did she and her brother both die? He was a level-six water-powered man. How could he not even have a chance to run if you didn’t encounter a level-six or seven zombie?”

While speaking, he put the cigarette back between his lips and took another inhalation, then let out the smoke.

“You think level-six or seven zombies are so easy to find? Do you think that we’re idiots? If you had really run into a zombie king or queen, how could the rest of you survive? How can you still stand here and talk to me like this? You wouldn’t even have had a chance of coming back to the base if that were real.”

“No… That’s not true! There were also robbers! Strong post-apocalyptic robbers!” As Piao Gecang refused to believe them, the vice-captain behind Chen Yuting said anxiously.

Piao Gecang paused slightly, then abruptly turned to say to them with a grin, “Eh? You met robbers? Then tell me, who are they? What levels they’re at?”

Chen Yuting stared at him and said certainly, “Yes, we met robbers. They kidnaped Lu Ting and two young men from our squad. They brought our people toward Hangzhou, and we chased them. When we finally caught up with them, they were already killed by zombies.”

The people around Chen Yuting all nodded to try and make his words sound more credible.

“Yes, that’s right!”

“When we got in, those robbers were all dead. But, I think their leader had escaped. Lu Ting was killed there!”

“No matter how, you’ve let her die. I had told you that you can’t let her die. Since you said that she was killed by zombies, I’ll believe you. I won’t kill you, as we aren’t allowed to kill inside the base. I’ll just take an arm from each of you.” Finishing talking, Piao Gecang put the cigarette back between his lips to take his last inhalation, then flicked the butt away.

Once he said that, his people began approaching Chen Yuting and his squad members.

As seven or eight superpowered people who were at level four or five walked toward them, Chen Yuting and his people panicked, immediately making defensive postures.

Among them, one was at level-six, one level-five, and the rest were all at level-three. Chen Yuting had a chance against Piao Gecang, but his squad members were no matches for Piao Gecang’s subordinates.

Lin Qiao looked at Chen Yuting confusedly. She killed Lu Ting and her brother, but why did Chen Yuting lie about it?

Also, the man with sunglasses actually claimed their arms as if there was no one to rule him in this base. He seemed to be in quite a high position in the base. Also, he was a level-six superpowered man.

“Deputy Chief Piao, I will fight you if you insist! But, if you are using Lu Ting’s death as an excuse, I won’t accept it!”

Piao Gecang sneered and said, “You might be right, but so what? Lu Ting was my woman after all. I wasn’t tired of her yet, but you got her killed. Can you get me another woman who’s as pretty as she was?”

After saying that, he suddenly swung an arm. Following his move, a streak of fire burst out from above Chen Yuting and his people’ heads, then quickly expanded and descended. The high temperature of the fire made Chen Yuting and his people feel their hair get burned.

Chen Yuting reacted swiftly. He raised an arm, and along with his movement, the mixture of cement and earth came out of the walls nearby and shielded them against the fire.

The fire landed on the layer of mixture but didn’t disappear. Instead, it moved downward through the gaps between the mixture and the walls.

Piao Gecang’s people didn’t join the fight, but stood aside and watched.

The air temperature turned high as the fire came down, as if the air itself was set on fire. The few lower-leveled members on Chen Yuting’s side instantly felt hard to breathe, like they were getting suffocated.

They were surrounded by walls. Before they could find a way out, they started feeling dizzy because of oxygen deficiency.

The attack from a level-six superpower man wasn’t something that these level-three people could survive.

Piao Gecang’s fire didn’t only have a high temperature, but was also poisonous. Therefore, even though Chen Yuting managed to protect his people and himself from the actual fire timely with his earth power, the toxins contained in the fire still spread in the air.

As Chen Yuting raised both arms, the cement ground split. A wall rose from the ground, quickly blocking the gaps between the mixture and the wall and stopping the fire from coming closer to his people and himself.

Meanwhile, the earth under their feet began sinking. As the ground sank two meters deep, he created a tunnel underground.

“Go into the tunnel… Hurry up!”

The vice-captain, who was doing better than the others, immediately helped the weakest squad member up from the ground, then walked into the tunnel. The other two squad members struggled up and moved into the tunnel as well while holding the wall.

“You think you can leave by getting underground?” said Piao Gecang coldly. “Release the snakes,” He then turned to one of his men and continued.

Next, one of his men suddenly leaped up and threw a heavy kick at Chen Yuting’s earth wall.

Bang! He easily created a hole on the earth wall, which was over ten-centimeters thick.

After that, another man waved a hand and released a finger-thick snake. When landing on the ground, the snake quickly split into countless snakes, all crawling toward the tunnel.

At the same time, these snakes were growing larger and splitting again.
