Zombie Sister Strategy

Chapter 951: Quieted Down For Now

Yun Meng caught the zombie who attempted to give Xiao Licheng another sneaky attack, grasping his collar and dragging him away.

“Don’t move!” Yun Meng released her vibe and glared at the zombie as she gave him a roar.

The zombie was stunned at first. It stopped moving and turned to give Yun Meng a glance with confusion, then suddenly bared his teeth and roared back at her.

“Roar!”

“What? How dare you roar at me! I don’t believe that I can’t suppress you. You’re only a zombie leader!” Yun Meng was surprised to hear his roar. Then, she furrowed her brows and yelled at him through clenched teeth.

She was not expecting the level-five zombie to have the courage to ignore her strong vibe and fight back against her. As a higher leveled zombie, she was supposed to suppress him naturally. Why couldn’t she do it? Why wasn’t it working on that zombie?

Since the zombie refused to listen to her, Yun Meng had no choice but to beat him until he followed her words. She grabbed the zombie’s cloth with one hand and slapped him on the head with the other hand.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!” Every time she slapped him, the zombie gave a roar.

Soon, the zombie seemed to be infuriated. He suddenly reached his hands back to grasp Yun Meng’s hands, then twirled his body and freed himself from her.

Yun Meng was thrown to the side by him. She paused briefly with surprise, then turned around and prepared to teach the zombie a lesson. However, the zombie turned and disappeared again after throwing her away.

Then, the four on the scene saw the zombie fall to the ground about ten meters away. He quickly got up from the ground and disappeared once again.

“Are we gonna let him run just like this?” Xiao Licheng wasn’t happy about that. The zombie was targeting him. If he couldn’t kill the zombie, he should at least bring him back to Base Number Two in All Beings Base and get him trained.

Based on Yun Meng’s attitude, Xiao Licheng figured that Lin Qiao didn’t plan to kill that zombie. He didn’t know why though. The zombie always tried to pounce on him and bite him, which made him quite unhappy.

Yun Meng shrugged and said, “This guy is a little weird. Chief thinks that he might be helpful for us.”

Lin Qiao planned to recruit the zombie into her army. He still needed to be trained though.

They found a building that wasn’t far away from the entrance to the underground gorilla cave to rest. Lin Qiao took out the remains of the underground creature which was devoured by her mist, then put them in the middle of the room and started observing them closely.

Xiao Licheng and Wu Chengyue shone their flashlights on that creature’s head and paws. The paws were black, shining with a metallic luster under the flashlight. The pair of paws were huge. The palms were over twenty-centimeter wide, and every finger was strong, looking dangerous and full of strength.

The head was half a size bigger than that of a buffalo. Except for a mouth and a nose, no other organs were seen on the face. The ears were small and sharp; the top of the head was hairless and smooth, and the back of the head was angular.

It looked ugly and weird.

Lin Qiao guessed that the eyes of those creatures have become vestigial because they lived underground, where it was too dark for eyes to work.

Yun Meng stayed quietly by the window with her eyes fixed on the hole. Those creatures ran into the hole just now, and no one knew when they would come back out.

Wu Chengyue broke off a leg from a wooden chair and turned the creature’s head with it, looking closely at the creature’s broken neck.

“Its blood and claws carry the zombie virus. Don’t touch them,” Yun Meng reminded him. She knew that Wu Chengyue might have read about it from the report, but she still couldn’t help reminding him.

“What exactly is this thing turned from? It looks so weird…” said Xiao Licheng.

Lin Qiao stood aside, observing the remains of the creature. That creature had strong forelimbs and wide paws, long and hooked claws, with earth stuck underneath. Those claws were perfect for burrowing.

If those creatures were really from the earth’s core, they shouldn’t be the only species that came up to the surface. Why did they come up? Was the earth core going through some kind of big change?

The next morning, some of the zombies that Lin Qiao sent out returned at dawn, bringing her a small pile of zombie nuclei and plant nuclei.

Lin Qiao put a rear paw of the dead underground gorilla under the sunlight to see what would happen. All the others were watching.

The sunlight in the morning was warm. Being exposed under the sun, the paw swelled slowly, and only the nails remained unchanged.

Puff! Puff! The paw swelled, and many blisters emerged from the skin. Those blisters grew larger and larger, then exploded when they reached a certain size.

The blistering skin smelt like burnt meat. After those blisters broke, the muscles underneath the skin started melting. About ten minutes later, only the bones and five sharp nails were left from the paw.

“So this is why they’re afraid of the sunlight,” said Yun Meng knowingly.

Both Xiao Licheng and Wu Chengyue were pinching their nose. This time, Lin Qiao and Yun Meng weren’t the only ones who were able to sense that awful smell. That smell was too harsh and terrible.

Lin Qiao went downstairs and brought a minivan out of her space, then threw the smaller underground gorilla into it. After that, she ordered Jingyan, Three, and Four to drive the dead underground gorilla back to the base.

“The sunlight is highly harmful to them, but we can’t kill them all unless they come out of that cave. We can’t blow the entire cave up, can we? Who knows how large that cave is,” said Yun Meng with a bitter face.

It had been mentioned before that those creatures weren’t stupid. They wouldn’t come out of the cave during the daytime, no matter how people tried to lure them. Besides, their exact number was still unknown.

Wu Chengyue, Lin Qiao, and the others spent another few days in that area. The area surrounding the hole stayed absolute quiet during that span of time.

Lin Qiao sent her zombies to search through the area ten miles in radius around the hole. Those zombies searched the area for a few times, yet found nothing. Those creatures seemed to have stopped all their activities and hidden away.

That level-five zombie, who fell to the ground every time he tried to run, harassed Xiao Licheng three or four times every single day. No one knew how he managed to keep himself from being detected by the other zombies. He was found less than twenty meters away from Xiao Licheng every single time.

During the daytime, his face could be seen clearly. His facial muscles were atrophic, so his cheekbones seemed especially sharp. His eyes were purely dark and deeply sunken. He was not good-looking, but he had very bright eyes. In those eyes was the purity which was similar to what could be seen in the eyes of babies.

Every time he showed up, everyone else would automatically stare at his eyes and ignore the rest of his face.
