Zombie Sister Strategy Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Riotous Zombies

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Lin Qiao failed to notice that as soon as she had this thought, the crowd of zombies became agitated, transitioning from moving stiffly to rushing forward crazily with an agile speed. They opened their mouth wide, baring their teeth and extending their hands in front while fiercely swarming forward.
The surrounding zombies which had been slowly approaching all thrust their feet against the ground and rushed at the three like crazy.
“What happened? Why are these zombies going crazy all of a sudden?” The two who had been defending the group were already busy warding off the increasing number of the zombies, when all the zombies on the scene suddenly went mad, violently pouncing on them.
The two were immediately overwhelmed and their defense instantly fell apart as they quickly lost their advantage.
Lin Yong had sensed the abnormal movements of the zombies once he broke the door lock. Before he pushed the door open, he turned around to check the situation behind him. At that instant, all he saw was the mad expressions of the surrounding zombies, startling him greatly. He then hurriedly turned around to launch attacks and defend against the approaching zombies.
Lin Qiao opened her zombie eyes wide, feeling a little strange when watching the changes happening outside.
Why were these zombies suddenly going mad?
However, as she watched the trio being attacked by more and more zombies, an idea flashed across her mind. She walked out of the dark room, joined the group of zombies, and rushed at the trio.
At first, there were barely two-hundred zombies in this area, but for some unknown reason, endless zombies suddenly showed up nearby. Baring their claws and teeth, they all charged at the three with abandon while their number kept increasing steadily.
“What happened? What has happened? Why are these zombies rioting?” Lin Yong asked in confusion while wielding his arms and sending out streaks of flame to singe the zombies which were pouncing on him.
Liu Hongshi was getting anxious as well. Facing more and more zombies, a layer of sweat oozed out of his face. “I don’t know! They suddenly went mad,” he yelled back.
The three tried their best to defend themselves against the zombies, but none of their superpowers were high-leveled. As the number of zombies increased, it got more and more difficult to repel them.
At last, Liu Hongshi said a little fretfully, “It’s not working. There’re more and more zombies coming. We’re going to get exhausted. Let’s leave for now. If this continues, we’ll be surrounded and eaten by zombies eventually.”
Meanwhile, Lin Qiao had already quickly made her way around the wall from the edge of the zombie mob.
She saw that the three had no choice but to give up on the cold storage as more and more zombies approached them. They fought their way through the zombie mob and left the area temporarily.
With that, the zombie crowd also followed them away from the door of the cold storage.
Lin Qiao walked to the door and raised a claw to push it.
The two lingering zombies near the door turned back their heads after Lin Qiao pushed the door open, oddly staring at the door before Lin Qiao’s face with their pale gray eyes, as though something had attracted them.
Lin Qiao’s nose was many times more sensitive than the noses of these average brainless zombies. Therefore, she had sensed a tempting aroma quite a while ago.
She felt that the zombies around her wanted to approach the door as well.
“Roar!” Lin Qiao growled angrily at them as a strong spiritual force was sent from her mind to repel these zombies.
“Roar… Roar… Ow-whoo…” After being forced back by her growls, the surrounding zombies turned around immediately and limped away.
Having seen the situation, Lin Qiao paused briefly. She didn’t give these zombies another thought as she just wanted to check on the child.
As soon as she caught the aroma, she had the confirmation that there was a living person inside, even though the aroma was very faint.
She pushed the door open, walked inside, and then closed the door behind her. The cold storage was so dark on the inside that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to see their own hands in front of their faces. However, Lin Qiao could clearly see everything in this place.
This cold storage unit had many compartments. She followed the aroma to one compartment, and as she had expected, she spotted something in a corner.
Hurriedly making her way to the corner, she smelt this faint aroma that made her feel hungry and also made her desire to eat raw meat resurge.
She wanted to eat! She wanted to eat meat, to drink blood!
These thoughts muddled her brain for a second, but she soon realized what had happened.
While suppressing her hunger with her willpower, she moved to the corner and squatted down, gently pulling away the blanket which had something wrapped in it using her nails.
The blanket was unwrapped, exposing an adorable face. The pair of eyes were closed tightly, and the lips were parched.
Lin Qiao lifted the child up, spreading her fingers with her long and sharp nails and gently stroking the child’s face.
As a zombie, she had no body temperature, but she could still feel the temperature of other things, such as the warmth of this kid’s skin.
On touching the child, Lin Qiao felt that the former’s body temperature was a little low. Her teeth were clenched, eyes tightly closed, and her breath was shallow. Lin Qiao lowered her head and put her ear against the child’s chest, finding that her heartbeat was very slow.
Lin Qiao knew that the child was dying, and she couldn’t possibly leave her here.
She thus held up the child and hurried out of the cold storage.
Judging by the child’s parched lips, Lin Qiao surmised that she hadn’t eaten or drunk for a few days. An adult would be dead after three days without water, let alone a five-year-old child.
But miraculously, this child in Lin Qiao’s arms was still alive, although at her last breaths.
From Lu Tianyu’s memories, Lin Qiao learned who this child was, and that she actually had a superpower as well. However, her power wasn’t strong enough yet, and she hadn’t learned to control it or use it to attack.
Nevertheless, her instinctive desire for survival allowed her power to firmly protect her life-force, which was why she was still alive after days without food and water.
Lin Qiao carried the child outside, but she was at a loss without knowing what to do. The child was unwell, and would die unless she was given some food and water soon.
Lin Qiao looked around, finding nothing but ruins. How could any water possibly be found here?
Suddenly, she thought of the small, clear lake in her mysterious space. She looked at the child in her arms, then abruptly raised her head and growled again.
“Roarrrr!”
‘Back off!’ she said.
The growl was meant for the surrounding zombies who were attempting to approach them bit by bit. On hearing her threatening roar, these zombies retreated immediately.
Lin Qiao held the child and concentrated, then firmly said a single word in her heart.
‘In!’
As a bright light flashed across her eyes, the dark, abandoned street before her eyes changed into a lush green grassland, although the light in this place was a little dim and misty right now.
She quickly carried the child to the lakeside and laid her down on the ground. After that, she glanced at the grass near the lake and found an extra wide and long blade, plucking it out.
Next, she rolled the grass blade into a funnel, with which, she scooped some water from the lake and put it gently by the child’s tightly closed mouth. Then, she clasped the child’s jaw and gently pinched it with her other hand.
Consequently, the child’s mouth was opened, and she poured the water gently into it.
She knew that this five-year-old child was called Ling Ling, and that she was that man’s daughter.
