Chapter 13: The Scent in the Air

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

Lin Qiao walked to a window beside the stairs in the building and looked outside. In the eyes of ordinary humans, there was only darkness outside. The buildings, plants, and all the other things on the ground were just shades and shadows in the dim light.

However, Lin Qiao could see everything clearly. Zombies weren’t able to see colors, but Lin Qiao’s eyes were slightly different from those of ordinary zombies.

Her eyes were even darker than the shades of night. She opened those eyes wide and swept her gaze across the area which could be seen from the window. However, even after searching for a while, she detected not a single light. She guessed that those people were being careful not to draw attention to themselves.

After observing things for a little longer and still seeing nothing, her eyes sparkled as she changed her way of searching.

She lifted her chin slightly, closed her eyes, and carefully sniffed the air again and again.

She had come to realize that her sense of smell was now even sharper than that of dogs. As she had hoped, after spending a while sniffing the scent in the winds around the tall buildings, she sensed something special.

Among all the scents she detected, the strongest was the rancid stench from zombie bodies. She also detected some strange scents from plantlife and mutated animals, but those were faint, diluted by other scents in the air.

By now, she could tell the smells apart, especially those of living people and zombies. However, she didn’t yet know the reach of her sense of smell.

She sniffed for quite a while in this tall building, detecting all kinds of smells but finding none which belonged to living human beings.

She didn’t want to give up, so she walked about aimlessly on this floor, then ran in the other direction and found another window. She removed the window pane, then stuck her head out, and sniffed as hard as she could.

But still, she detected no trace of living human beings while standing in this building.

She found this a little perplexing. Wouldn’t that man send his people out to look for his daughter? Why couldn’t she detect any live human being in this area?

Should she keep the little one if she failed to find her family?

Lin Qiao struggled a little with this thought.

She was a zombie now, and no matter how hungry she felt, she couldn’t seem to die. But unlike her, the little one in her space was a living human being, a five-year-old child. A human being needed to eat, especially a child. If she were not careful, the child could get sick, and that would be troublesome.

Thinking of the little one, Lin Qiao suddenly realized that she hadn’t been sensing anything from her for some time now, and could no longer hear her cries. What if the child had had an accident? This thought flashed across Lin Qiao’s mind, and she hurriedly re-entered her space.

A bright light flashed across her eyes and then she showed up in the space, which was still misty and had no sounds disturbing the silence.

Lin Qiao’s eyes swept across the area and found Wu Yueling’s tiny body curled up on the ground, wrapped in the small blanket.

Her heart sank as she hurried over. Suppressing her urge to eat the child, she squatted down to observe the color on the girl’s face. Her face was very pale, as were her lips, and the rims of her eyes were dark and bluish.
