Seeing that Lu Tianyi’s reaction had become slower than usual, Kong Qingming said to Lin Qiao for him, “Are you sure? These are mutant. You’re not going to murder your brother and I, are you? You never cared about him anyway, isn’t that right?” He frankly pointed out the relationship between Lu Tianyi and the former owner of Lin Qiao’s body. Lin Qiao smiled, then turned to walk to the chair beside the stove, sitting down on it.
Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming clearly detected scorn from her smile.
Lin Qiao sat down, then slightly raised her head, looking at them as she said, “…Dare?”
It was just one word, but the two found it provocative. Lin Qiao doubted that they didn’t have the guts to eat those strawberries.
Lu Tianyi picked up the strawberry and put it near his eyes to look closely. He found it to be extra large, and having a strange color. But, as he sniffed at it, he sensed a strong and refreshing aroma.
He had no idea that he wouldn’t be able to sense this refreshing aroma and only a pungent stink if these strawberries weren’t planted in Lin Qiao’s space and watered by the lake water.
Lu Tianyi glanced at Lin Qiao, then said, “In fact, you’ve admitted it. Whether I eat these or not, or whether you show me your eyes or not, that’s not important anymore. But you now look…”
He wanted to say that she looked thoroughly different than before.
He glanced at Lin Qiao with a complicated look, then put the strawberry into her mouth and quickly took a bite.
“Oi! Even if you want to die, you don’t have to do it this way!” Kong Qingming was startled. He still wasn’t sure if the strawberry was poisonous or not. It had mutated, so it must be carrying the zombie virus.
Seeing that Lu Tianyi had bit the strawberry, Kong Qingming hurriedly reached out a hand to squeeze his chin. Lu Tianyi stepped backward to dodge his hand, then covered his face with another arm and chewed the strawberry.
In fact, he knew that if she wanted to hurt them, she wouldn’t have to save them. Why would she save them then poison them? What would the point be?
So, he chose to believe her. Actually, he wanted more to find out what had happened to her. He wanted to know why her voice changed, and why it seemed that her throat was broken.
Lu Tianyi quickly swallowed the strawberry in his mouth, not even having the time to taste it. After that, he said to Kong Qingming, “Don’t worry! She has no reason to hurt us.”
Then, he turned to Lin Qiao and asked, “If I finished these mutant strawberries, can you tell me what happened to you after you…did that thing to…that man?”
By ‘that thing’, he was surely talking about raping the base leader. He couldn’t bear to say that out loud. Even though everyone had known about that, for some reason, he just felt too embarrassed to say it in front of her.
He had such a weird feeling at the moment. The person in front of him used to be familiar to him, but now, he felt that she was a total stranger.
Lin Qiao nodded and stayed silent.
After Lu Tianyi recognized her, his attitude toward her was better than she expected. Judging by his reaction, he was not only surprised, but also delighted and worried. His complicated feelings didn’t include hatred or other negative elements.
Now, he wanted to see her eyes and know what happened to her voice. He also wanted to know what had happened to her after she did that bad thing.
Wasn’t he simply concerned about her?
And, Lin Qiao was surprised to find that the strange feeling she had been having since she was at a long distance away was actually from Lu Tianyi. Why did that happen? Was it because of the blood ties between them?
But, she had become a zombie already, so what did it have to do with blood ties?
As Lin Qiao nodded, Lu Tianyi continued eating strawberries. As he took another bite, he discovered something that he didn’t notice earlier. “Eh? It’s quite sweet! It’s sweet, and a little bit sour. It tastes not bad!” Lu Tianyi paused slightly, then said. After that, he handed a strawberry to Kong Qingming and continued, “Try it! If you don’t eat it, she won’t let you out anyway.” While speaking, he glanced at Lin Qiao. Meanwhile, Kong Qingming was a little speechless.
Lin Qiao spread her hands to Kong Qingming and responded with, “He…said…that…”
It had nothing to do with her, because she didn’t say that.
Kong Qingming turned back to glance at Lu Tianyi. ‘So, you wanna get me killed too? You’re really my good brother!’ He complained silently.
Lu Tianyi had already started eating his second strawberry. In fact, he and his teammates had been starving for two days. After the first bite, he began eating the rest of the strawberries carelessly. He wondered if the woman gave them these strawberries because she knew that they were really hungry.
“Alright, I’ve eaten what you want me to eat. Can you take off your sunglasses now?” For some reason, he cared about her sunglasses a lot. Lu Tianyu would never hide her beautiful eyes behind sunglasses.
“Don’t…regret…” said Lin Qiao blandly.
“What can I possibly regret for?” Lu Tianyi asked confusedly.
Lin Qiao nodded, then slightly lowered her head, took off her sunglasses, and raised her head.
Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming saw that she raised her head, and then, they saw a pair of purely black eyes. The eyeballs were entirely black, and were sparkling dimly. In this poorly illuminated space, those eyes looked really weird.
Both of them automatically stepped back as they popped their eyes to look at her with shock. Those weren’t the eyes of human beings, but belonged to high-level zombies. They had just seen some eyes like that.
“Your eyes! You…” Lu Tianyi stared at Lin Qiao and said with disbelief. However, he couldn’t even manage to let out a full sentence. At that moment, Lin Qiao suddenly stood up and stared at them with her weird-looking, black eyes, approaching them step by step.
As Lin Qiao came closer, Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming continued stepping backward. Being stared by a pair of eyes like that, they really couldn’t remain calm. Once Lin Qiao made a step forward, they would make one backward.
Lin Qiao took a few steps, then stopped and gave them a faint smile, putting the sunglasses back on.
‘Boys, now you’re afraid? You did keep asking me about my eyes earlier. Why weren’t you afraid back then? You knew that I was different.’
Seeing Lin Qiao stop, Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming took a few steps back further. Only after they were over two meters away from Lin Qiao did they stop.
“You…you…Your eyes…What…happened?” Lu Tianyi pointed at Lin Qiao’s eyes and asked with a trembling voice.
“She’s a zombie!” Kong Qingming said to Lu Tianyi, “She has become a zombie!”
Lu Tianyi turned to look at Kong Qingming, his face filled with disbelief. He gazed at Kong Qingming and opened his mouth, but failed to utter any sound.
He didn’t expect to see a pair of eyes like that under those sunglasses. He believed that even a pair of blind eyes would be better.
