Zombie Sister Strategy

“Based on the date, I think he’ll make the breakthrough in about four hours,” said the medical staff to him.

Lin Hao looked at Du Yuanxing. Thankfully, he still had a good amount of lake water left by his sister. He made Du Yuanxing drink three glasses of it and managed to stop the man’s electric power from bursting out of his body. A few days before, people had to wear insulating suits and rubber gloves to touch him, and they were all worried that they might be burned to ashes with the slightest carelessness.

“This is so great! We are finally about to have another level-six member!” Lin Hao nodded and then gave a sigh. The number of superpower possessors in Base Number One was way too small. Thinking about the number of level-six zombies in Base Number Two, he felt that Base Number One was so much weaker than Base Number Two. He wondered when Base Number One could have as many level-six members as the other.

The medical staff smiled at him and said, “There’ll be more and more in the future. Aren’t there over ten-thousand new members of our base now? There are quite some level-six ones among them, right?”

Lin Hao thought for a moment and then nodded, “You’re right! There are over twenty level-six ones among those people, about ten of whom are from Three Months Hunters’ Group. Wenwen had indeed done a great job!”

The medical staff thought that by ‘a great job’, he was talking about Lin Wenwen bringing those people from Sea City Base to All Beings Base. But in fact, Lin Hao meant what she did seven years ago. She helped those people, which was why they paid her back now.

After confirming that Du Yuanxing would make the breakthrough and enter a new level in a few hours, Lin Hao returned to his office. He wasn’t a zombie, so he couldn’t detect the scent left by the people who had been in his office. The nurse was a commoner. She didn’t have a superpower, so she wouldn’t leave any energy behind. Therefore, Lin Hao had no idea that someone was in his office searching for something not long ago.

He sat down and spent a short while reading the data about Du Yuanxing’s energy changes these days, and then he put the file on the desk as he stood up. He turned and walked to the file cabinet, moving away the files before the hidden compartment. Then, he found a key from the set of keys around his waist and unlocked the compartment.

In the compartment weren’t Lin Qiao’s files as the nurse estimated. Instead, those were the files of the superpower possessors in the base who had recently upgraded.

He opened the hidden compartment and then turned around to pick up Du Yuanxing’s file, putting it into the compartment as well. Next, he locked the compartment, put the files back to cover it, and sat back down to read other files.

It was confirmed in Sea City Base that the drug developed by Yan Huiguang and Sea City Base could indeed allow zombies to pass the virus detector. After that, Lin Feng quickly came up with an idea of an undercover operation in Huaxia Base. He planned to send some from Base Number Two into Huaxia Base. However, that plan needed to be approved by Lin Qiao.

And at that time, Lin Qiao was still trapped above that river!

There seemed to be a magnetic field between the energy in the air and the energy in the river. Anything that went through the space between them could cause an energy swirl to descend from the air.

Lin Qiao watched the energy spin swiftly and move about in the area. While controlling the dark fire under her feet to avoid bumping into one of the swirls, she also needed to resist the suction generated by them.

It was indeed very difficult to cross the river. If she hadn’t been controlling her own power in a perfect way, she would have been sucked into one of the swirls long ago. The situation was dangerous, but she still managed to move toward the other side of the river slowly.

At that moment, dark figures suddenly emerged from the whirlpools in the river, and a sharp sound was heard.

Sizzling!

Lin Qiao lowered her head to find a series of human-sized creatures standing up from the whirlpools, leaping high into the air, and then magically diving into the energy swirls. Next, they started moving through the energy swirls like swimming in the water.

They were all coming toward Lin Qiao!

‘Damn! What the hell are these things!’ Lin Qiao almost burst into curses when she saw those newly emerged weird creatures.

Those creatures weren’t tall, only about two-meters in height and slightly larger than human beings. They looked like fishes, as they had fish mouths and even gills. On both sides of their necks were hand-fan-like fins, and on their back were a series of thorns. They also had large fishtails.

They had huge mouths, reaching from ear to ear and filled with sharp teeth. On their heads were mushroom-like combs, looking very strange.

Following the sizzling noise, those flying fishes came out of the water and moved freely through the energy swirls. They were able to stay still within the energy swirls, as if the energy was supporting their bodies.

Lin Qiao dodged a flying fish that was charging at her. Once the previous flying fish brushed across her, she needed to move to avoid the other one that came from behind.

The situation that was already not good instantly turned for the worse. What made her angry was that those flying fishes were swift. As long as they folded their wings that looked a lot like chicken wings, they could fly as fast as an arrow. Every time one flying fish did that, all the others would immediately follow. So, from time to time, the flying fishes came at Lin Qiao in waves. She was able to control her power precisely but still found it hard to cope with the current situation.

What gave her a headache was the fact that those flying fishes weren’t afraid of her dark fire at all!

“Eh…” Lin Qiao hurriedly hid into her space.

The people who were standing in two lines before the house thought that Lin Qiao had crossed the river when they saw her. They were all waiting for her to take them to the outside. Unexpectedly, she gave a sigh and said helplessly, “I got stuck above the river. I can’t cross the river now or go back to the other side.”

If she only had to face those moving energy swirls, she would be able to slowly move to the other side of the river by controlling her power very carefully. The problem was those flying fishes which showed up suddenly. She had to pay great attention to them. After all, those fishes moved way faster than those energy swirls.

On hearing her words, everyone immediately glanced at each other with bewilderment.

“What? Not even you can cross that river?” On the second floor of the house next-door, Yuan Tianxing looked at Lin Qiao and exclaimed. His voice wasn’t loud, but she heard him clearly.

Lin Qiao turned to give him a glance while saying, “Would you like me to take you out to see what’s going on out there now?”

Yuan Tianxing immediately shook his head with a smile and responded, “No. I’m a disabled man now. Those things might eat me like a snack.”
