ZOMBIE SISTER STRATEGY

Chapter 44: Played Him to Death

She now had an urge to dig out his crystal nucleus directly and study it. However, as she realized that that would be a little savage, she remembered that she had this little person in her space.

She certainly couldn’t let a child witness her digging into someone’s skull!

However, she couldn’t exit her space at the time; once she closed her eyes, she could see the level-five zombie wandering in the room where Huang Xiao and the others were hiding earlier, looking for something.

Apart from the level-five zombie, two level-three zombies were standing in the corners obediently as well.

The mouths and teeth of these three zombies were all covered in blood, and the three bloody corpses in the room were now lying on the ground with emptied stomachs and skulls.

The zombies in this post-apocalyptic world did not only like to eat human flesh and drink human blood, but also especially enjoyed feeding on human brains. High-level zombies liked to eat human internal organs, and of course, brains as well.

Therefore, corpses with emptied stomachs and skulls were often discovered since the apocalyptic era began. People would know at first sight that those corpses were chewed by zombies.

At a glance, Lin Qiao knew that the level-five zombie had been looking for her, because this zombie spent a relatively long time lingering around the window that she showed up at.

This zombie was really persistent! It actually kept chasing her.

Lin Qiao was even a little speechless about that.

Since she couldn’t go outside, she had no choice but to do it inside her space. As she couldn’t let the little one witness this, she decided to let Xie Dong block Wu Yueling’s line of sight.

She wrote down a sentence on the paper, then handed it to Xie Dong.

After reading the sentence, Xie Dong immediately walked up behind Lin Qiao and covered her. He faced Wu Yueling, letting her see only himself and not what Lin Qiao was doing behind him.

Lin Qiao cast a glance backward, but didn’t see Wu Yueling. After that, she reached out her claw and neatly cut open the space-powered man’s head.

Earlier on, she had sensed a strong aroma when she cut off Huang Xiao’s head. But back then, she needed to take out the crystal nucleus very quickly and bring Xie Dong and the space-powered man into her space right after that. So, she didn’t get the time to sense that aroma carefully.

But now, once she cut open his head, she sensed the same aroma. No wonder the other zombies liked to eat brains. The scent of human brains wasn’t the same as the scent of human flesh.

The aroma of human flesh was sweet, but the scent of human brains was refreshing. However, human brains seemed to be more delicious than flesh. Nobody could question it, because it was her instinctual ability to tell.

Therefore, the brain was more tempting to her than flesh.

Not only did Lin Qiao inhale deeply and felt that her mind had turned a bit slow because of the aroma, even Xie Dong, who was standing behind her, couldn’t help but turn around to give a few deep sniffs.

Lin Qiao immediately realized what was happening. In that instant, she reached out a hand and pushed Xie Dong away, then held her breath. Even though she didn’t know if she still had breath or not, she managed to hold it anyway.

After quickly digging out the crystal nucleus, Lin Qiao spent a moment in sensing the level-five zombie outside. It seemed to be planning to leave as she saw it leaping out of the window.

After the zombie left, Lin Qiao immediately grabbed the space-powered man’s corpse and then swiftly flashed out to throw it.

Xie Dong saw nothing more than Lin Qiao shaking her body swiftly. The moment she shimmied, the corpse in her hands disappeared from where it was.

In his eyes, Lin Qiao didn’t seem to have gone out. Only she herself knew that she had already gone out for once. Her moves were continuous and way too fast; so, in Xie Dong’s eyes, she had merely shaken her body.

The two level-three zombies outside hadn’t left yet, but they caught only a hint of Lin Qiao’s vibe without seeing even a trace of her when they saw a corpse being thrown out of thin air.

In the eyes of zombies, corpses equaled food. Having their eyes on the corpse, these zombies pounced on it immediately.

As for Lin Qiao, she didn’t even unveil herself outside before going straight back into her space.

After throwing out the corpse, she and Xie Dong finally sighed with relief. They couldn’t help but inhale the tempting, refreshing aroma for one last time, then it quickly dissipated in her space.

Without being distracted by the aroma, Lin Qiao now settled her mind to study the crystal nucleus in her hand. She dared not to pinch it with her nails, but just put it in her palm, as she was afraid that it might melt down suddenly like the last couple of times.

However, the crystal nucleus immediately emitted a wave of heat once it was put in her palm. Next, it directly turned into a stream of energy like the level-three zombie nucleus that she had absorbed the last time!
