Chapter 20: Stolen Prey

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

The flesh of superpowered human beings was sweet and tasty, and the energy contained in their crystal nuclei was pure, unlike the zombie nuclei which had too many impurities.

Just like zombies, humans sought zombie nuclei as well. The most profitable job in the bases at that time was zombie-hunting indeed.

Lin Qiao didn’t think that this level-three zombie would actually be quite weak. Although this fight was simple and violent, it was over quickly.

The energy contained in the zombie nucleus soothed her entire body but failed to quench her hunger. She still wanted to eat.

‘I want meat! Meat! Meat!’

While roaring in her head, she took a simple glance at the intelligent zombie, then turned and left.


The sky was already brightening, and the surrounding area was becoming clearer. She couldn’t see a lot of colors, but she could still sense the change in the light. After finishing off this intelligent zombie which had shown up out of the blue, Lin Qiao turned around and continued moving forward, in search for a drivable car.

Not long after she had left, a few people showed up and surrounded the dead intelligent zombie, their faces filled with surprise and confusion.

“Is it dead? How come?” Liu Hongshi said in amazement as he stared at the corpse on the ground. The other two didn’t respond, only observing the dead zombie with somber expressions.

Lin Yong took a look at the zombie, then pointed at its head which had been cut open and said, “It was killed by another intelligent zombie. The edge of the wound on its head is rough, clearly created by bare hands. Only intelligent zombies at level-three or above can cause damage like this.”

Liang Caiyan frowned slightly and nodded.

Liu Hongshi’s face was a little dark as he stared at the dead zombie and said, “We’ve been chasing it for so long, only for it to be killed by another zombie! Our efforts have been wasted!”

Lin Yong’s face was also dark with anger, but he didn’t say a word.

“This should be the only level-three zombie in this area. Has some newcomer seized its territory?” Liang Caiyan asked with confusion.

Every high-level zombie was territorial. A level-three zombie would find an ownerless area, occupy it, and claim it as its own territory. If another level-three zombie wanted to live in this area permanently, it would need to drive the original level-three zombie away.

The weak had always been prey for the strong, and this was the most primitive law applicable in this world.

The strong would live while the weak would die.

Hence, if two high-level zombies fought over a territory, the weaker one would always die unless it ran fast enough. Thus, if the newcomer was a higher-level zombie, the original territory owner would flee right away without any doubt!

“This zombie wasn’t wounded by a superpower because there was no trace of it left in the surroundings. Its enemy wasn’t a superpowered zombie but a level-three one just like it. However, that other zombie managed to cut its head so neatly, which is quite strange,” said Lin Yong.

The other two looked around them. As Lin Yong had said, there was no damage done to the surrounding area by any superpower, and there was no other wound on this intelligent zombie’s body either. This zombie was killed with one clean move! A level-three zombie without any superpower couldn’t possibly achieve this.
