Zombie Sister Strategy Chapter 1404 - The Marvelous Teng

Chapter 1404: The Marvelous Teng

Lin Qiao heard Lin Wenwen coming in, so she raised her head to look at the latter. It was then that she saw her suddenly lower her head and cover her forehead with a hand, pausing near the door.
“What’s wrong with her?” Lin Qiao glanced at the two kids who were sitting on the sofa while asking.
Teng and Wu Yueling, who had been playing on the sofa, both turned to look at Lin Wenwen. On hearing Lin Qiao’s question, they turned to her and shook their heads. They didn’t have the answer either.
Lin Wenwen didn’t say anything but stood there with her head lowered for a few minutes. After that, she slowly raised her head and waved at the kids as she walked to Lin Qiao with a frown. The latter was sitting in the chair and looking at her. As Lin Wenwen seemed fine and clear-minded, she asked, “What have you seen?”
Lin Wenwen walked to her desk, pulled over a chair, and sat down on the other side of the desk. She nodded as she put the files in her hands on the desk. After that, she started talking with a complicated look, “Emm… I did see something… Give me a second…”
Lin Qiao took over the files and then said curiously, “Just tell me what you saw. I’ll help you sort it out.”
Lin Wenwen raised her head to look at Lin Qiao and said, “I saw you… You looked weird. You were… attacking our base.”
Lin Qiao knitted her brows slightly when she heard that and said, “Did I look like a real zombie?”
Lin Wenwen nodded and said, “Yes. You didn’t only look like a real zombie, but also had black marks all over your face… You know what that is, don’t you?”
Judging by Lin Qiao’s question, Lin Wenwen figured that she must have realized something already.
Lin Qiao sighed as she glanced at Teng and said, “Since you’ve seen it, I’m not gonna keep it secret from you. I can’t stay up here for long.”
“Up here?” Lin Wenwen was first confused by the words she used, but something soon crossed her mind. “Are you going back down to the underground space? What will happen to you?”
Lin Qiao looked at her and stayed silent for a short while. After that, she said, “Don’t tell anyone else about this. My body has indeed been in an abnormal condition lately. After all, it doesn’t really belong to me. Its zombie nature still exists, and I think it’s waking up.”
Lin Wenwen spent a few seconds gawking at Lin Qiao. Then, she slightly widened her eyes to look at Lin Qiao and said uncertainly, “Are you talking about Lu Tianyu’s zombie nature?”
“Yes,” Lin Qiao nodded and said, “It has shown up twice… I need to find a way to eliminate it. Now isn’t the time yet, though.”
After all, Huaxia Base was casting its greedy eyes on All Beings Base. Her base might suffer severe losses if she left at this time. She had to wait until Huaxia Base was no longer a problem. After that, she would find a place far away from all human bases to deal with Lu Tianyu’s zombie nature.
“Can you do that?” Lin Wenwen looked at her with concern and said, “That’s the instinct of this body. It’s gonna be hard to remove it, isn’t it?”
It was too abstract, like mind-control. It must be very difficult. How was Lin Qiao supposed to do that? Did she need to create a mental world and then fight the zombie nature there using her will power? Would it be like a VR game?
Lin Wenwen figured it should be a spiritual war.
She herself had never experienced anything like that, so she couldn’t tell what it would feel like. However, she was very worried about her sister. It would be a disaster if her sister lost to Lu Tianyu’s zombie nature.
Sensing the complicated and worried look in Lin Wenwen’s eyes, Lin Qiao gave her a smile and said, “Don’t worry, I, your sister, at least still have an undamaged soul. I’ve fought it twice. It’s not as strong as you think.”
She made it sound quite easy, because she didn’t want Lin Wenwen to worry. But in fact, when the zombie nature showed up the second time, she had clearly felt that it was much stronger than the first time.
She couldn’t tell that to Lin Wenwen though.
At that moment, Teng, who was sitting on the sofa, abruptly turned to Lin Wenwen and said, “Aunty, don’t worry. Mama is going to be fine.”
Lin Wenwen looked at the boy and said to him curiously, “Eh? Do you know about it so well?”
Teng nodded as he turned back to continue his game with Wu Yueling without saying anything else to Lin Wenwen. As the boy wasn’t continuing the conversation with her, Lin Wenwen bewilderedly turned back to Lin Qiao and said, “He didn’t seem to worry about you at all. Why?”
“I don’t know,” Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “But I think he knows about my body better than I do. I will probably need his help.”
At that point, Teng said loudly to his Mama while leaning forward to look at Wu Yueling’s drawing, “Mama, you can put me at the bottom of your lake when you fight the zombie inside you. There will be two of us against the zombie alone. We’ll certainly win.”
“Can you do that?” Lin Wenwen glanced at the boy and then turned back to Lin Qiao and said with surprise.
Lin Qiao was surprised as well. She tilted her head to look at Teng and asked, “Will that work?”
With his back to the two of them, the boy responded confidently, “Sure! So, don’t worry!”
Lin Wenwen gave the boy another glance with confusion before twirling back to Lin Qiao, “Where is that confidence from?”
“Well, if he says I’ll be fine, I guess I’ll be fine,” Lin Qiao smiled and said, “After all, if it wasn’t for him, I’d have been gone for good two years ago.”
Lin Wenwen felt a little speechless.
The worst thing that had happened two years ago was Lin Qiao’s death. Recalling how everybody felt when it happened, Lin Wenwen started feeling a little depressed. However, she soon adjusted her emotions, and then she realized something shocking. “Eh? Was he the reason why you came back to life wearing this zombie’s skin?”
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “In fact, my space originally belonged to him. He was still a fetus back then. I don’t know how, but when I detonated myself, he activated the space, and then the space absorbed both our minds. After that, we ended up in the body of Lu Tianyu, who was freshly dead, by chance.”
Lin Wenwen even opened her mouth slightly with surprise. After spending a few seconds in a daze, she said, “Whoa! Really? Had he actually done that to protect you when he was still a fetus?”
She couldn’t have imagined that the little boy was capable of something like that when he was still a fetus!
