Zombie Sister Strategy Chapter 1396 - Three-To-One

Chapter 1396: Three-To-One

“Did you buy this with your own credits?” Looking at the meat, Qiu Lili asked to Lin Jing a little unhappily.
Lin Jing was currently working in the hospital. Because of her previous condition, she had spent a lot of time in the hospital. After she healed, she found herself a job there to earn herself food.
She didn’t really need to worry about food because Lin Kui would always look after her. However, she wanted to work; being able to work made her feel at peace.
She hadn’t been earning a lot of credits by doing that job though. If she wanted to have a meal with Lin Kui and Qiu Lili, she could have asked them to bring their own food.
Qiu Lili pouted unhappily; she believed that Lin Jing’s credits were spent unnecessarily. Unlike her, the latter was very delighted, as it was the first time she had treated Lin Kui and Qiu Lili with food. Finally, she felt truly like the elder one in the family.
Seeing Lin Jing’s happy face, Lin Kui stayed silent. He looked at the meat on his plate and then the meat in Qiu Lili’s plate. Thinking about what his sister had said about dog food, cat food, and zombie food, he felt weird. Somehow, he felt as though he was really a pet.
What was happening? Was he supposed to switch to his panther shape and then start eating?
“We have a task to perform, so we need to leave soon. This task might take days or even two weeks,” Qiu Lili took over the metal knife and fork that Lin Jing prepared for her, elegantly cutting off a piece of meat and putting it into her mouth. She didn’t start talking until she had swallowed the meat.
“Are you having another task? You’ve been getting quite a lot of tasks recently,” Lin Jing paused briefly and said.
“Yeah,” Qiu Lili nodded and said, “We’re going through an eventful period.”
Most of the current problems were related to Si Kongchen and Huaxia Base.
Lin Kui quietly picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Qiu Lili found herself and Lin Kui using different tableware. “Eh? How come he’s using chopsticks while I’m using a knife and a fork?” she asked Lin Jing.
She wasn’t a Westerner.
Lin Jing smiled and said, “Oh, I just felt that you’d look nice eating with a knife and a fork, so I prepared them for you.”
Qiu Lili didn’t know what to say. Was that a compliment?
After the meal, Qiu Lili and Lin Kui left Lin Jing’s place and went out to look for Yun Meng.
Yun Meng was fighting a level-seven zombie when they found her. She was doing the fighting while the other zombies were trying to distract the enemy.
Bang! Despite the numerical superiority on her side, she suffered a heavy strike and sank into a wall.
The level-seven zombie was strong and had metal power. Its entire body was giving out a strong scent of blood, mixing together with an awful odor. The scent of blood was from not only humans, but also mutated beasts.
The zombie wasn’t picky at all, as it even fed on animals. Normal zombies weren’t interested in animals, especially mutated ones. Its way of fighting was special as well. It gathered the surrounding metal objects, melted them, and turned them into a thick armer to guard itself.
Yun Meng was at the same level as it. She popped her claws to attack the zombie, but that armor protected the zombie firmly from her claws. The zombie wasn’t weaker than her; moreover, it was super strong and fast. Therefore, Yun Meng had fallen into an arduous battle. Neither she nor the zombie could hurt the other efficiently.
She didn’t even find the zombie; the latter found her, probably attracted to her by her zombie vibe.
In the eyes of wild zombies, two beings from the same level could never exist together in one territory. One of them would have to die in that kind of a situation. When two zombies at the same level ran into each other, they would fight until one of them died, both eager to devour the other to strengthen themselves. The level-seven zombie was smart. It was aware that finding another level-seven zombie wouldn’t be easy, so of course, it would not let Yun Meng go.
“Wow, poor Mengmeng!” Qiu Lili threw out a fireball at the level-seven zombie once she arrived and then jumped to Yun Meng’s side, bending over to look at her face. She and Lin Kui had sensed the level-seven zombie’s vibe while they were still at a distance away. Therefore, they restrained their vibes and sneaked over.
The zombie was focusing on the intense battle with Yun Meng, so it didn’t notice the arrival of Qiu Lili and Lin Kui. The two had had their vibes hidden after all.
“Pah! I can still fight!” Yun Meng crawled out of the collapsed wall, covered in dust. She spat out the sand in her mouth and stood up while speaking . After that, she turned to Qiu Lili with surprise, saying, “Eh? What are you guys doing here?”
While the two of them were talking, Lin Kui had already turned into a huge black panther and started fighting that metal-powered zombie.
“Qiaoqiao sent us here to take over your job. She wants you to go back to the base. She has another task for you,” Qiu Lili looked at her and said. In the meanwhile, she turned around, raised an arm, and sent out another scorching fireball.
“Oh, alright, I’ll bring this level-seven nucleus back with me. Chief can use it to add another level-seven zombie to our army.” Yun Meng wiped her face with her hands, having no idea that her hands were even dirtier than her face. After that, she lashed her tail and turned herself invisible, once again sneakily approaching the zombie from the back.
The zombie had paused briefly when Qiu Lili and Lin Kui showed up. As the three attacked it together, it immediately realized that its life was probably in danger. So, it turned without hesitation, attempting to run.
However, Yun Meng lashed on the zombie with her large tail and sent it flying back. Her lizard tail was incredibly strong after all. Next, the black panther caught the zombie and pressed it down before opening his mouth wide and biting on its neck.
Crack! The black panther had sharp teeth that penetrated the thick metal armor but failed to hurt the zombie’s neck. Only when the zombie’s energy was consumed up could the armor be broken; a fire might work too.
Metals tended to soften under high temperatures. It would take some time to burn that zombie’s armor soft, though.
Together, the two zombies with animal power and the one with the powers of fire and wind laid siege to the metal-powered zombie. Yun Meng and Lin Kui threw the zombie from side to side while Qiu Lili was releasing her fire to burn the zombie constantly, trying to speed the consumption of his energy.
The zombie consumed the energy contained in its nucleus to protect itself against Qiu Lili’s fire. At last, its energy ran out, and it could no longer maintain the metal armor. Only after that was it killed.
“Eh, the energy in this nucleus has been consumed greatly already,” Yun Meng dug out the nucleus and complained.
The zombie died when its energy almost ran out, and the energy left in its nucleus was very thin. However, that amount of energy could still be counted as abundant for a level-six zombie.
