Chapter 43: Space-Powered Man

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
The reason Lin Qiao suddenly rushed in and quickly finished Huang Xiao, then brought the two into her space, was because she had sensed a level-five zombie leader with a familiar vibe approaching.
Apparently, this was the same zombie leader they had encountered earlier on. And clearly, this zombie leader had caught Lin Qiao’s smell and followed it to this area.
As the level-five zombie leader had much sharper senses than Lin Qiao did, it sensed her not long after she exited her space.
Looking at the space-powered man who was lying on the ground, Lin Qiao wondered what exactly had happened just now. Why was she able to see inside this man’s space? Was this another ability of hers?
Suddenly, she found that after she became a zombie, she had acquired so many abilities that she didn’t have before!
Telepathy, space, space invisibility… Apart from these, the strength of her body had grown over five times greater than before. And now, she had developed one more ability, that allowed her to sense the spaces of other people!
However, all these abilities weren’t practiced, and couldn’t yet be used with great facility.
This space of hers was too mystical. She could bring people in, and the lake water in this space appeared to have numerous effects. Aside from that, this space seemed to have other uses as well that she had yet to discover.
Regarding telepathy, she found that she was able to quickly learn the thoughts of the zombies at lower levels than herself; but when facing higher level zombies, it was quite difficult for her to do the same. As for the thoughts of human beings, it seemed that she needed to approach quite close to sense them.
As for space invisibility, she honestly didn’t know how to use that skill.
And now, she didn’t know how her new ability to sense others’ spaces worked either. She needed to do more experiments!
With this thought, Lin Qiao grabbed the space-powered man’s collar, directly dragged him to the lake, and then pressed his head into the water.
In a minute, the space-powered man began struggling.
Seeing that he was awake, Lin Qiao seized his collar and lifted him up, then threw him to the lakeside.
“Em… Eh-hem-hem-hem… Pah…” The space-power man had inhaled quite a lot of water, so he now lay on the ground while coughing in an awful shape.
Lin Qiao didn’t give him any time to process what had just happened, but squatted in front of him, reached out a hand and spread out her fingers, gripping his forehead.
Choking on the water, the space-powered man suddenly felt a hand pressing on his forehead before his mind got clear again. Next, a sudden dizziness overpowered him, and he started feeling drowsy.
Lin Qiao sensed something once her hand touched the space-powered man’s head. She closed her eyes and saw a white fog, as well as a round opening in it, about as big as a window.
As she tried to get a little closer to the opening, it brought itself toward her as well.
She clearly saw plenty of daily supplies and some food in it. She and Xie Dong didn’t need the food, but Wu Yueling did.
She pulled out and opened her eyes, finding that the space-powered man who was grabbed in her hand had again rolled his eyes back in his head. This time, he suffered so much worse than before that was even foaming at the mouth.
Lin Qiao hurriedly loosened her hand, her eyes glimmering. It seemed that by looking into his space, she had imposed a great stress on his body or his mind.
At this point, Xie Dong walked over while looking at the space-powered man with icy cold eyes. He even had a desire to take a bite of this man’s flesh, but he suppressed it.
He held the crystal nucleus and concentrated the heat of his entire body in his palm like how he did when he absorbed a zombie nucleus, sensing how it started melting. Next, he clenched his fingers, and the crystal nucleus instantly transformed into a wave of energy that seeped into his body through his palm, merging with the heat which was concentrated in his palm and then returning into his body along with it.
Having finished absorbing the crystal nucleus, he saw Lin Qiao relax her grip on the space-powered man. But this time, the space-power man seemed to be in a much worse condition, foaming at the mouth.
Seeing Xie Dong walk over, Lin Qiao picked up a piece of paper and wrote down a few words.
‘Did the crystal nucleus bring any change to you?’
Xie Dong spent a moment in feeling his body and then shook his head. He felt nothing; it was like the energy contained in Huang Xiao’s crystal nucleus had disappeared inside his body. He didn’t feel his power increasing like the way he felt back when he absorbed the zombie nuclei.
Lin Qiao glanced at him with surprise. Nothing seemed to change when she absorbed the zombie nuclei either. She thought that it was due to her constitution, but how come Xie Dong was the same as her?
After getting closer by now, Xie Dong looked at the space-powered man who had fainted again. He stared straight at him, swallowing his saliva all the time.
He sensed the sweet aroma once he approached the other. The sense of hunger then surged crazily, making him so eager to take a bite. However, his sanity had been telling him that it was the scent of human flesh. Thinking of feeding on human flesh, he felt sick mentally.
On the one hand, his body had been suffering the physical hunger, and on the other hand, his mind had been bearing the feeling of disgust. This difficult situation made him terribly uncomfortable.
Seeing him like this, Lin Qiao knew that he was tempted by his instinctive hunger. She thought about it and then wrote down a few sentences on the paper.
‘If you want to eat him, I won’t stop you. After all, eating human beings is a normal and instinctive reaction of zombies. And human flesh can provide the energy that zombies need.’
Reading this, Xie Dong paused for a while to understand the meaning. Once he got the meaning of those words, he immediately and confirmedly shook his head, then turned around and walked far away.
Looking at him from behind, Lin Qiao suddenly felt bleak and lonely.
These days, she had gradually gotten used to being a zombie, but this man hadn’t yet accepted the truth that he was a zombie, had he? Many things had changed, but he didn’t realize them yet.
Lin Qiao was an optimistic and receptive person with strong adaptability.
She had become a zombie, so be it. She was still who she was, and she was still going to find her family and friends. Even if she couldn’t show up right in front of them, she needed to see that they were doing well even from a long distance away, so that she could at least stop worrying about them.
She was a special forces soldier before, and often carried out dangerous missions which could cost her life at any time. Her family had accepted that and prepared themselves mentally since long ago. Therefore, she now saw herself as dead in a mission, but was still able to live around the ones she loved with another identity, and that was just enough.
For this reason, she still needed to go back to find her family.
However, Xie Dong wasn’t the same. He wasn’t as open-minded as her.
Lin Qiao didn’t care about him though. The two of them would soon go on their separate ways anyway. As for what would happen to Xie Dong, that was his own business, and she couldn’t say a thing about it. After all, they had nothing to do with each other, and no affection existed between them either.
She saved him only because she didn’t want to watch him, who was also a special forces soldier, be killed by his own teammates just like that.
In the army, soldiers trained every single day, and the team spirit had always been highly essential. The trust of a soldier in their comrades was important, and vice versa. Therefore, all special forces soldiers hated and rejected the betrayal between teammates just the same.
However, Lin Qiao was hindered by the lack of strength, so the rescue from her came a little too late.
If she were able to defeat that level-five zombie leader, she wouldn’t have failed to save a person before he was harmed.
Hence, she increasingly wanted to grow stronger!
