Chapter 851: Mrs. Lin Turned
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mrs. Lin was a special member in the base. She had two sons, one of whom was a Deputy Chief while the other was a doctor. Her daughter was a space possessor, and although not an official, had a high status.
If it weren’t for that reason, the other people would have put a bullet in her head long ago.
Lin Qiao took a deep breath as she calmed herself down and then said, “Lili, Yun Meng, take all the level-five zombies to control those new zombies in our base. Don’t kill them unless you have to. Go!”
Qiu Lili and Yun Meng instantly turned and left. The other zombies, who came here to see what happened, quickly followed them to bring the new zombies under control.
“Xie Dong, go and find out what exactly caused this,” Lin Qiao forced herself to stay calm and started giving orders.
“Yes, ma’am!” Xie Dong responded, then quickly left.
After that, Lin Qiao said to Lin Wenwen and Lin Feng, “Don’t let the news spread yet. Qingying, open the door.”
While speaking, she turned to Long Qingying, who was holding Lin Wenwen’s arm tightly.
Long Qingying waved a hand. Following her movement, the metal bars on the door shrank to the side and created a hole in the door. Lin Qiao quickly got in through the adult-sized hole while Lin Feng turned and gave Qian Xiaoai an eye signal.
Qian Xiaoai had been under Lin Feng’s command for years. He surely understood what the later meant: he needed to seal people’s mouths.
Lin Feng would give that order even if Lin Qiao didn’t.
As Lin Qiao got into the room, Mrs. Lin shrank back tremblingly. She dropped her head and tightened her shoulders, not even daring to look at Lin Qiao.
“Don’t move.” Looking at Mrs. Lin, Lin Qiao knew that she had lost her memory. Currently, all she had were zombie instincts.
What she saw gave Lin Qiao heartburn. But soon, she clenched her teeth and calmed down, slowly walking to Mrs. Lin.
She thought her family would be safe from all kinds of dangers under her protection. But, what happened last night? There was no sign before that. Nothing strange happened, except for that suddenly strange feeling which she had last night. It was just one night. But through that night, people died or turned into zombies!
She took a deep breath. She always had a strong mind. After spending a short while calming herself, she moved further toward Mrs. Lin.
“Don’t be afraid… I won’t hurt you. Don’t move…” She knew that Mrs. Lin wouldn’t understand her words at that moment, not even if she called her ‘mother’. She had no other choice but to give Mrs. Lin orders with her high-level vibe.
Mrs. Lin seemed to be very afraid of Lin Qiao. Every time Lin Qiao made a step toward her, she would automatically make a step backward. Eventually, Lin Qiao walked up to her and slowly reached toward her.
Lin Qiao didn’t make any sudden moves, as she didn’t want to scare Mrs. Lin. She slowly reached out her hand, held Mrs. Lin’s shoulders, and brought her into the space. Mrs. Lin was trembling with fear all this while.
She didn’t know how long had Mrs. Lin turned into zombies for. Only about ten hours had passed from last night to the present. Judging by Mrs. Lin’s current look, her memory could no longer be restored like what happened to Xie Dong, Lu Tianyi, and Shen Yujen.
Therefore, Lin Qiao could only take a slower way.
She brought Mrs. Lin to the living room of her house, then picked up a cup and fetched a cup of lake water. After that, she cut her own finger and dripped a drop of blood into the cup.
The thick and black blood immediately turned the water brown.
The look on Mrs. Lin’s face changed drastically when she saw the cup of water in Lin Qiao’s hand. She stared straight at the cup, her eyes showing strong thirst and fear.
“Drink it,” Lin Qiao felt uneasy and anxious, but she could not show that on her face.
Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Qiao motionlessly, without doing what she said.
Lin Qiao looked back at her and gave her that order again. She was aware that might be a little disrespectful to her mother, but that was the only way to restore her memory sooner.
The base was in chaos. She couldn’t stay in the space for too long.
“Drink it.”
Mrs. Lin glanced at Lin Qiao with fright, then took over the cup and put it near her lips. Then, she glanced at Lin Qiao again. As the latter kept the same expression, she had no choice but to close her eyes and pour the water in her mouth.
Crack! Once the water was poured into Mrs. Lin’s throat, the cup dropped from her hand and shattered against the ground.
“Roar…” She fell on the ground and curled up.
That cup of water contained a whole drop of Lin Qiao’s blood. Lin Qiao’s virus mixed with the energy in the water devoured the zombie virus inside Mrs. Lin’s body. Lin Qiao stood by her side uneasily while narrowing her eyes to look at the people outside.
People were standing quietly by the door. Lin Wenwen was leaning against the door frame, seemingly collapsed. Lin Feng looked very depressed. As a mature man, he was able to control his emotions. He couldn’t believe what happened at first, but he was already facing it now.
As Lin Qiao arrived, he was slightly relieved. Thinking that his mother had become a zombie, he gave a sigh. There was already a zombie in his family, so he guessed that having one more wouldn’t be a big problem.
He felt lucky that his mother didn’t turn into a dried body like some others.
In the base, Qiu Lili and Yun Meng scattered to look for new zombies. They lay pressure on every zombie they found and ordered them not to move. Meanwhile, Yuan Tianxing and the others were leading all the superpowered people and surviving soldiers to save the people.
Soon, Qiu Lili and the other zombies discovered that those new zombies were not only nimble and fast, but also smart.
That was not reasonable. Currently, human beings had just adapted to the world that was full of slow-moving, brainless zombies.
With the help of Qiu Lili, Yun Meng, and the other zombies, the situation in the base was soon brought under control. They stood on top of a tall building and each gave a roar. Hearing their voices, all the new zombies in the base stopped attacking people and gathered toward them.
Without the threats from the zombies, Yuan Tianxing and his people quickly gathered all the survivors to the playground of the school.
Everyone was frightened. Yuan Tianxing, Du Yuanxing, and the others tried their best to comfort them.
“Why did this happen? Why? Have you seen it? Some people became mummies last night… It’s horrible! The guy I shared a bunk bed died like that!”
“Some in my dorm are the same. You’re lucky that your roommate only turned into a mummy. My roommate turned into a zombie! I was nearly bitten to death! What happened to this world? Are we going through a second apocalypse?”
The survivors talked to each other with lingering fear. Clearly, they were all scared by what happened in the morning.
