Chapter 176: From Now On, You Follow Me
Translator:LawEditor:Hitesh_
Lin Qiao had only said three words slowly, but the other two zombies in the room had both figured out the whole sentence.
She was asking Xie Dong about how many human beings he had eaten.
Hearing her question, Junjun automatically turned to shield Tongtong from Xie Dong with her own body. The latters eyes darkened a little when he heard the question, but he didnt respond.
Lin Qiao sniffed at him, then glanced at him blandly and continued, YoucaneathumansButdontgetaddicted
She wasnt against man-eating. If Xie Dong only ate bad people, she would be okay with it. However, getting addicted to man-eating was unacceptable.
Xie Dong nodded at her in response.
Choosethetargets Lin Qiao continued. She wanted to tell him that he needed to know how to choose his targets. He could eat the bad ones like the post-apocalyptic robbers, but not the good ones.
She didnt want him to be addicted to man-eating, then slowly lose his humanity and become a cold-blooded zombie with human memories.
Roarem Xie Dong gave her a gentle roar.
Dont worry. I dont eat humans unless I have to. I understand,he said.He wanted Lin Qiao to know that he wouldnt eat human beings unless he was left with no other choice, and that he knew how badly man-eating could affect him.
Lin Qiao nodded and didnt continue this topic, but glanced at Junjun and said, Fromnowyoufollowme
Xie Dong understood that Lin Qiao wanted him to follow her instead of getting close to the female zombie who was carrying a child, in case he lost control and hurt the little boy.
But without you, can she protect the child on her own?He wondered. He looked at Junjun with confusion, then turned toward Lin Qiao, who sensed his thoughts and then abruptly pointed outside the window.
Xie Dong turned to that direction confusedly, then saw a white figure quietly standing on the roof of another building, staring at him with a pair of red eyes.
He was startled at the sight of those eyes, and his fine hair all stood straight up.
The white figure was only about two-hundred-meters away from him, yet he hadnt sensed it at all. Only after Lin Qiao pointed at it did he discover that it had been watching him.
Once he saw the white figure, he somehow felt oppressed.
Before he figured out who it was, the white figure disappeared without a trace.
Xie Dong turned to Lin Qiao with a questioning look in his eyes. She didnt tell him the story of Qiu Lili, but turned to walk toward the door and signaled to tell him that she needed to leave now. As she didnt answer his question, Xie Dong glanced back at where the white figure had disappeared, then followed her to the door. Then, Lin Qiao opened the door and they walked out.
Lin Qiao walked toward Lin Fengs room with Xie Dong. She asked someone about where Long Qingying was, then walked to another door and knocked on it.
Wei Jingchen, who guarded by Lin Fengs door, turned to look at Lin Qiao and the strange man beside her. Xie Dong looked like a human being, so Wei Jingchen thought that it was a man following behind Lin Qiao. He only gave Xie Dong a quick glance before turning his eyes away.
The door was soon answered.
It was Lin Wenwen who opened the door. Seeing Lin Qiao, she asked with surprise, Eh? Lu Tianyu? How can I help you?
When she called Lin Qiao Lu Tianyu, Xie Dong gave a start at first, then stared at Lin Qiaos bald head from behind in shock.
Lin Qiao was at a close distance from him, so she quickly sensed his feelings. However, she didnt turn back, pretending like nothing had happened while asking Lin Wenwen, FindLong
She was using Lu Tianyus body, so it was normal for Xie Dong to react a little on hearing that name. After all, he and Lu Tianyu were both from the Sea City Base. Lu Tianyu might not know Xie Dong, but everyone in the Sea City Base had heard her name.
Lin Qiao was now bald, with black eyes and without any makeup. As she looked nothing like the original Lu Tianyu, it was reasonable for him to be unable to recognize her.
Hearing someone call Lin Qiao Lu Tianyu, Xie Dong was astounded at first, then started to have all sorts of puzzles in his head.
Lin Wenwen heard the two words from Lin Qiao. The zombies voice was a little unpleasant, but still, she figured out her meaning. She gazed at the latter with surprise, as it was the first time for her to hear a zombie talk! It was so interesting!
While looking at Lin Qiao curiously, she yelled, Qingying, Lu Tianyu wants to talk to you! Then, she opened the door entirely while giving Xie Dong a glance, and asked Lin Qiao, You can really talk! Dont zombies all have brokenthroats and stiff tongues? I heard that when zombies eat, theyll bite the flesh off with their teeth and then swallow it directly, so they dont even need tongues!
Lin Qiao walked into the room after Lin Wenwen had opened the door. Xie Dong didnt follow her, but stood by the door and watched her.
He knew that he couldnt enter girls room without their permission; that was a basic manners.
Just now, on hearing Lin Wenwen call Lin Qiao Lu Tianyu, Xie Dong was utterly stunned. Isnt her name Lin Qiao? Why Lu Tianyu now? Does she have the same name as the woman in our base? Oris she Lu Tianyu? But thats impossible, because they look nothing alike!
That woman always wore thickmakeup,and cared so much about her hair and dressing style. How could she possibly end up like this? Bald? She would never wear these clothesAndhas she become a zombie?
However, when he pictured Lin Qiaos face together with Lu Tianyus, he suddenly felt that they were similar indeed. Their eyes, noses, and mouths were almost the same. But still, those two faces looked way too different, so he couldnt tell for sure.
If shes Lu Tianyu, why did she tell me that her name was Lin Qiao?
Lin QiaoLin QiaoThis name is a little familiarHe felt that he had heard this name before.And, if shes Lu Tianyu, how did she become a zombie? How did she die before turning into a zombie? Would Chief Yang ever let her die?
Yang Chao let her do anything she wanted in the base. He really liked her, so how could he let her die?
I remember how she looked like when I saw her the first time. She was in a much worse shape than now. Her face was covered with scars, and maybe her body was too, though I couldnt possibly see it as she was wearing clothes.
And, how could her personality change so suddenly after she turned into a zombie? She has many combat skills which are from the special forces, but Lu Tianyu was never a soldier.
