Chapter 48: Chapter 48

On the other side, Lin Qiao stayed in her space with Xie Dong and the little one for a couple of days before she finally let him and herself out while Wu Yueling stayed inside.

The little girl had already gotten used to staying in her space, and was less afraid by now. She could even chase the rabbit all over, even though she still wouldn’t talk too much.

Maybe because of Lin Qiao’s space or the lake water, Wu Yueling didn’t feel much of hunger. Even if she did feel hungry, the hunger wouldn’t cause her body functions to decline.

As for Lin Qiao herself, it seemed that as long as she continued to stay in her space, her sense of hunger would be less strong. Basically, even Wu Yueling’s smell couldn’t bother her in there. Unlike her, Xie Dong still seemed to be unable to control himself, because as soon as he smelled Wu Yueling, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from staring straight at her and slowly losing his sanity.

For this reason, Lin Qiao told Xie Dong not to come out of the small space unless he had to. After all, he would look really like a pervert if he kept staring at a five-year-old girl and drooling.

Xie Dong told Lin Qiao that she would be hunted by Wu Yueling’s father for taking the little princess away. In response, Lin Qiao told him that Wu Chengyue could try to find her if he had the ability! She had a space, so who would she be afraid of? No matter how powerful that man was, he couldn’t possibly enter her space, could he?

Xie Dong was curious why she took away the child; but every time he asked her this question, she would bare her teeth to him without giving him an answer. Even though her reaction made him even more curious, he wouldn’t ask it again.

After staying in her space for a couple of Days, Lin Qiao felt that the level-five zombie wouldn’t show up again, so she went outside with Xie Dong.

The room was suffused with an awful stench. The corpses which had their brains eaten wouldn’t become zombies even if they were affected by the virus, because only the corpses with more than fifty percent of their brains remaining unharmed would turn into zombies.

The corpses which didn’t turn into zombies would rot quickly because of the high temperature during the daytime. The night temperature was low, but wouldn’t slow down the decay process.

Lin Qiao’s sense of smell was as sharp as that of dogs. Therefore, she was nearly knocked out by the stink in the room once she came out.

She had no idea how Lu Tianyu’s brain remained untouched when she died. If her brain was eaten too, Lin Qiao wouldn’t have woken up in her body as a zombie even if her soul managed to enter this body, would she?

What Lin Qiao didn’t know was that her soul had entered this body back then, right after Lu Tianyu died and before her brain was eaten. Her soul stayed in Lu Tianyu’s brain and guarded it with a spurt of energy, because of which, those zombies merely bit Lu Tianyu’s face but didn’t touch her brain.

Therefore, Lin Qiao had directly become a high-level zombie when she woke up.

But of course, Lin Qiao knew none of that; nobody did. If anyone knew about what had happened back then, they would have been utterly confused, without knowing how to explain that.

The stink in the room made Lin Qiao cover her nose and jump out of the window in a flurry. Xie Dong suffered less than she had. He was only sensitive to the smell of human beings, but could sense absolutely no other odors.

He looked at Lin Qiao, who was sitting on top of his car, and felt like laughing. It seemed that having a sharp sense of smell wasn’t always a good thing.

‘But anyhow, you’re a zombie, aren’t you? Yet you’re actually afraid of the smell of rotting corpses? Which zombie can be afraid of this smell?’ Xie Dong thought.

With the map, Lin Qiao didn’t need to go into the city anymore. Instead, the two directly drove toward the South.

A couple of hours after they left, another military off-road car showed up under the building they were in earlier. A man and a woman got off the car and walked straight into the building without paying any attention to the zombies in the surrounding area.

The surrounding zombies intended to approach the two, but had no way to do that as they would be hit by lightning once they tried!

The man wearing camouflage clothes had no expression on his face, but a hint of somberness in his eyes. He blankly looked at the woman in front of him, asked, “Are they really here?”

While speaking, he quickly waved a hand. A few thin lightning bolts descended from the sky and struck on the heads of the couple of zombies which had been slowly shambling toward the woman and himself. The man didn’t even need to take a glance at those zombies.

Along with a series of thuds, the few zombies shivered immediately and then fell to the ground. The attack made the stop moving, their bodies emitting smoke.

Meng Yue closed her eyes to feel carefully. She looked upward and said uncertainly, “The sense is faint, and I’m not so sure. However, a little clue is better than our pointless searching.”

While speaking, she walked upstairs ahead of that man.

The two of them searched through every floor on their way up, but found nothing until they walked into that room with a few rotting corpses. In that room, they finally had some discovery.

Both of them were struck by the stink in the room, needing to cover their noses when walking in.

In this place, Meng Yue stopped being able to feel Wu Yueling. The two of them observed the four corpses in the room and found that all of them were bitten by zombies.

“The vibes of these people… seem to be a little familiar. Have we met them before?” Meng Yue covered her nose and scanned the few corpses with her calm eyes as she asked with confusion.

Wu Chengyue spent a moment feeling with focus, then took a close look at the few corpses’ faces. Afterward, he shook his head and said, “They’ve been dead for days, and their vibes have dissipated. My senses aren’t as sharp as yours, so I can’t recognize them.”

Meng Yue looked at the few corpses, failing to recognize them as well. After that, she turned around and walked out of the room to breathe some fresh air.

Wu Chengyue followed her out and asked, “Are you sure that Ling Ling’s vibe was detected from this room? Could it be wrong?”

Meng Yue unhappily glanced at him and responded, “Why did you follow me here if you don’t believe me? Go find her yourself!”

Wu Chengyue immediately gave her a fawning smile. The smile on his handsome face could make people feel warm and gentle, like touching a clean and soft stream of water. “No! It’s not that I don’t believe you. I’m just worrying that what if you’re really wrong? I know you’re worrying about Ling Ling as much as I am!

Meng Yue was slightly shocked by his smile. Facing this handsome man’s smile, she could no longer remain calm, but still snorted coldly and said, “Em… See, even you doubted me. Have I ever been wrong? Why don’t you think about that? I know you’re too concerned about Ling Ling to even think straight, but you know that I am worried about her as well. How could I lead you around aimlessly?”

While speaking, she turned her face and walked downstairs.

Wu Chengyue turned back and glanced at the few unrecognizable corpses in the room, then followed her down.

“If you believe that Ling Ling has been here, then she must have been brought here by that female zombie. But, who ate those few people in there? Did that female zombie eat them? Then, why didn’t she eat Ling Ling?”

Meng Yue shook her head and said, “Not necessarily. The smell in that room is too strong, but I sensed that more than one zombie had been there. It should be other zombies which ate those people. Didn’t Yunlong say that the female zombie has no hostility? It really hasn’t eaten human beings. I agree with him on this point. So, don’t scare yourself. Ling Ling is fine.”
