Chapter 287: All In
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao stood behind the bald guy without moving, but quietly looking at this group of people. She was shorter than the bald man, so no one saw her in the first few seconds. But soon, she was spotted by those robbers.
“You… Who are you!”
“No! She isn’t a human! Look at her eyes! Her eyes are all black! She’s a zombie!”
“She is… Er! She must be the space-powered zombie queen that Boss mentioned!”
Some of them were still holding their guns. The ones whose hands weren’t tied by Viney immediately fired at Lin Qiao.
A series of gunshots was heard.
Lin Qiao moved swiftly to dodge the bullets which were sent toward her by three people while giving Viney a shout.
“Viney, move!”
Following her voice, the group of people felt that the vines wrapped around their bodies suddenly tighten, even seeming to break their bones. What made them pop their eyes shock was the words they heard just now. The zombie talked! It gave an order!
The vines tied them up so tight that they could barely breathe. At that moment, they had nothing but questions in their heads.
Wasn’t that a zombie? Why was the zombie able to talk!
But soon, they couldn’t continue thinking about those questions because the vines wrapped them up from the feet to their necks and squeezed them violently, causing them a pain that stopped them from breathing. They felt that all their internal organs were about to be crushed.
“Ah…”
“Ahhh…”
Except for Er and San, the others all burst into screams, their faces twisted. They were all blushing because of suffocation, their eyes bulged while veins stood out under the skin of their temples.
Er and San were in great pain as well, but they suffered less than the others. After all, even though they weren’t able to attack with their powers, their powers had still been protecting their bodies from being harmed.
Therefore, they only had their faces turn red, but made no other reactions. But of course, they couldn’t move either.
At that moment, a vine tip rose from each of them, reaching much higher than their heads.
The pair of cute little leaves on each vine tip folded together, then the leaf tips turned slightly before magically forming a sharp thorn and slowly approaching the temples of everyone except the bald guy.
Just like that, the thorns quietly pierced into their heads while they were still struggling.
“Ah…”
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
A series of shrill scream could be heard, filled with pain.
Er and San were startled by those screams. They widened their eyes and turned to look at their friends, then saw the leaves on the vine tips puncturing into their friends’ temples. Immediately, the looks in their faces changed. They watched their friends’ faces twisted in pain and heard them howl. Then, as the white vine drilled into their right temples, they stopped screaming, but the expression on their faces remained.
Before long, the vine tips pulled themselves out, having turned blood-red.
Er abruptly turned his head to look around his head. As he had thought, a similar vine tip was pointing at his temple. Seeing that, he instantly began shaking his head in fright.
“Ah! No! I don’t want to die! No…”
But soon, Viney drilled into his temple.
“Eh…”
At that point, Lin Qiao had already raised her hand and put her sharp nails against San’s scalp.
“You’ve been eating people. Had you thought that you’d end up being eaten as well one day?” she spoke blandly.
San was in complete terror. He tried to turn around, but couldn’t move his body. He managed to turn around his head, yet only saw Lin Qiao’s face from the side.
Then, he felt that something sharp had pierced into his head.
“No, no, no… wait a minute… Please don’t kill me… Please don’t kill me… Eh… Ah…”
As he begged for mercy, Lin Qiao impatiently inserted her fingers into his skull.
Crack!
Along with the cracking noise, San stopped crying. Lin Qiao dug the space-powered nucleus out of his head and put it in her palm before gripping it. The nucleus soon turned into a scorching hot stream of energy in her palm, quickly surging into her body through her arm.
She then turned to look at the others and found that they had all quieted down. Viney lifted all the dead bodies and sent them to the woods area.
Looking at those dehydrated corpses, Lin Qiao said to Viney, “Viney, just put all bodies together. You don’t need to bring them to the woods area particularly.”
Viney piled these new bodies together with the four which were dropped in the woods by Lin Qiao earlier, then drew them back into the lake.
Lin Qiao walked to those corpses and picked up Er and San before flashing out of her space.
Thud! Thud!
She threw the two corpses to the ground, then clapped her hands and quickly moved away to dodge the Boss’ sharp metal blades.
Boss glanced at Er who was lying on the ground motionlessly, and San, whose head was broken. Then, he turned to look at Lin Qiao, who had shown her face. Through the glasses, he stared at her with a vicious look.
Lin Qiao glanced at the door and found countless metal objects piling on the gate and the fence wall, making the wall over three meters tall. The ordinary zombies outside weren’t able to come in, so they were trying to climb up while roaring now.
After seeing Er and San’ bodies, Boss understood that the others had no chance of surviving either. He looked at Lin Qiao in the eyes, and the latter looked back at his eyes, as composed as always.
None of them moved, while all kinds of noises and zombie roars could be heard from the outside.
Right at that moment, the Boss’ eyes moved slightly. He suddenly glanced at where Lin Feng and his people stayed, then raised a hand and clenched his fingers toward Lin Qiao.
With that, countless metal objects immediately flew toward Lin Qiao. Within a blink, those metal objects turned into sharp thorns, darting at her from all directions.
Seeing that, Lin Qiao flashed into her space. As she closed her eyes to see outside, she found that the Boss was gone.
She walked to the pile of corpses and picked up two, then flashed back out. She went into the villa to find ropes, but there were none. So, she ripped off the curtains and tore them into strips, then brought them into her space.
In the space, she tied the rest of the corpses together and dragged them all out.
Except for the bald San and the ones that Viney had absorbed, the ones Lin Qiao had killed earlier on still had energy nuclei in their heads. So, after exiting her space, Lin Qiao dug out the remaining four energy nuclei.
