Zombie Sister Strategy

Lin Qiao had been observing ever since she entered the underground realm but hadn’t figured out what exactly made all those underground creatures rush up to the earth’s surface. Did the food chain down here break? Did something threaten them? If there were something to threaten them, why weren’t those higher-leveled underground creatures threatened as well?

Lin Qiao looked around and suddenly had her eyes fall on the big red cat that was sitting quietly near her. Her eyes immediately glowed, and she clapped her hands.

Why didn’t she ask that question to the cat, which was an underground creature itself?

With that thought, she turned around and hopped up to the big cat, raising her head to look at it. Seeing her come up to itself, the cat tilted its big head and looked at her bewilderedly, wondering what she was going to do.

“Come here!” Lin Qiao waved at the cat.

Recalling that the cat didn’t understand human language, she asked the question with zombie roars. “Roar…” ‘Come on, Red, tell me why you and your friends went up to the earth’s surface?’

While asking that question, she pointed a finger upward to help the cat understand.

“Ao?” The cat looked at her but didn’t understand why she asked that question.

Lin Qiao nodded at it and said, “Hm, Roar…” ‘Tell me, why did you go up?’

“Hrrr… Awo?” The big cat rolled its large, red eyes, and then lowered its head and growled at Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao looked at it bewilderedly. She didn’t understand what the cat said.

“Ao?” Seeing the bewildered look on Lin Qiao’s face, the cat became confused too.

“Well, the cat understands your language, yet you don’t understand its…” Lu Tianyi came over, looking at her from meters behind her.

Duan Juan came to her too and nodded in agreement, “You two speak different languages. Let’s see how you are gonna figure out its meaning.”

Lin Qiao turned and gave them a glance, before turning back to look at the cat speechlessly.

As Lu Tianyi and Duan Juan showed up, the big cat immediately stood up and glared at them. Clearly, it didn’t like them.

“Oh, this kid doesn’t like us!” Lu Tianyi found the cat’s reaction interesting.

“Hrr…” Being stared at by him, the big cat stomped a foot against the ground and continued glaring at him.

“Alright, alright, don’t interrupt us,” Lin Qiao waved a hand before the two’s faces to stop them from staring at the cat. Then, she said to the cat with zombie roars, ‘What did you say? I don’t understand…’

On hearing that, the cat looked at her very confusedly.

‘What? You don’t understand what I said? How am I supposed to answer your question then…’

So, the cat and Lin Qiao looked at each other in silence once again. After spending a few seconds making eye-contact, the big cat shook its ears and rolled its big eyes, seeming to have come up with an idea.

It abruptly turned and looked around before quickly running to Black. It held the snake’s tail with its mouth and dragged it off the tree.

Black was startled by the cat’s sudden movement. It first struggled with confusion and then ended up being dragged down to the ground.

The big cat dragged the snake off the tree and threw it on the ground before pressing a paw on its body and patting the ground near it with another paw. If the cat didn’t give the snake a black fruit earlier, the snake would have bitten it already. However, the smart Black seemed to understand what the cat wanted. It coiled its body and rested its jaw on its own body, staying still.

As Black quieted down, the big cat immediately turned around and flashed to Bowwow. Before Bowwow could react, the cat caught the dog’s tail and dragged it toward the snake.

“Wwowowowowo!” Bowwow immediately turned to the cat and bared its teeth as it barked fiercely.

“What’s it doing?” Lu Tianyi squatted on the side, watching the cat’s movement. His curiosity was aroused, so he asked Lin Qiao that question.

Lin Qiao, Duan Juan, and the others had all been looking at the cat and wondering what it was doing.

The cat dragged the dog to the snake’s side and pressed it down to the ground with a paw. Bowwow struggled intensely, but facing an enemy that was a level higher than itself and twice its own size, the struggling would, of course, be in vain. The dog still barked at the big cat aggressively, but its head was pressed tightly on the ground.

Bowwow wasn’t as smart as Black. Once the cat relaxed its pawn slightly, the dog attempted to spring up. But in the next second, the cat pressed it down again. The same thing happened repeatedly for a few times.

“Alright, Bowwow, stop moving! The cat wants you to stay still!” Lin Qiao said to the dog.

“Woof!” On hearing that, Bowwow immediately barked at her with discontentment, but it eventually stopped fighting against the cat.

As the dog gave up on escaping, the big cat retracted its paw and turned to look at the mushroom. It didn’t go to find the mushroom though. Instead, it stepped back meters away from the dog and the snake. Then, it raised its forepaws and stood up, opening its mouth widely to bare its white, shiny teeth in a very dramatic way. Then, it started to brandish its claws and roar at Bowwow and Black.

“Roar…” Despite its exaggerated movement, its voice wasn’t very loud. While roaring, it wielded its four forepaws. After the roaring, it lowered its body and made a posture of attacking the dog and the snake.

The dog and the snake looked at the cat with confusion, having completely no idea what it was trying to say. Unlike them, Lin Qiao folded her arms and put a hand on her chin as she started thinking while watching the cat’s moves.

Seeing that look on her face, Duan Juan figured that she probably had figured out something. “Do you know what the cat’s doing?” she asked Lin Qiao curiously.

On hearing Duan Juan’s question, Lu Tianyi curiously turned to Lin Qiao as well, waiting for her answer.

As the dog and the snake both seemed very confused upon hearing its roaring, the big cat stopped roaring and pushed the dog backward with its head while kicking the snake backward with a paw.

“I guess the cat is trying to tell us that some kind of very powerful creature cast them out… Or perhaps that creature has gone mad? Black and Bowwow should be those underground creatures which have been driven up to the earth’s surface or ordered to go up? I don’t know if I’m right. We need to ask the cat if I have guessed right,” Lin Qiao leaped off the tree and landed beside the big cat while speaking.
