Chapter 526: How Zombies Stay Alive

‘As I thought, ‘ Lin Qiao said to herself.

That unexpected accident caused the second mutation of her body. She became exactly like a healthy human being on the outside, and her body was halfway activated; but in nature, she was still a zombie.

The activation of her heart was something she felt to be a little weird.

And this time, after restoring her memory, she found that her body had turned back into the zombie state, as her capability of controlling zombies and the pressure that she could give to the other zombies had both grown stronger than before.

She thought she would turn back into a human being; but now, she turned into a zombie again.

“Ever since my face changed, I don’t like looking myself in mirrors. Imagine seeing someone else’s face when you look at yourselves in a mirror. That’s pretty frustrating. Besides, my face was damaged at first. I couldn’t even look directly at myself back then.” Speaking of how her body looked like at the beginning, Lin Qiao was really not happy. “So, how was I supposed to know when my eyes turned white?”

“Is that so?” Lin Wenwen made eye-contact with her mother, then pictured what Lin Qiao said and immediately shivered.

That was way too weird!

“When did you wake up in woman’s body… eh, I mean, dead body?” Lin Feng asked.

Lin Qiao walked over and answered the question, “I think it should be that day when I blew myself up. I woke up with no memory of the past five years, but I remember everything before that. I didn’t even know if you survived the apocalypse or not. At first, I went to the South only to take a shot and see if you’re still alive.”

She had very complicated feelings at first, as her own memory was mixed together with Lu Tianyu’s.

Lin Feng nodded and said, “I see… We didn’t believe that you detonated yourself, and we all thought that you’d be back one day. But, we didn’t expect you to come back in… such a special way.”

“That’s right!” Lin Hao nodded in agreement.

Lin Qiao nodded as well and said, “I have no idea why I woke up in someone else’s dead body, and became a zombie. And, I had indeed blown myself up.”

Her superpower was suppressed by the drug that Yang Jianhua gave her. She needed to stall those enemies to buy time for her families, but at last, she didn’t have any energy left to run. She ran to a cliff, but could not jump into the sea because Long Yubai had water power, and he could do whatever he wanted to her in the sea.

To keep those people from obtaining her energy nucleus, she chose to detonate it.

“I thought my energy nucleus would be blown up as well… But when I got there, I saw it lying on the ground, perfectly undamaged.” The look on Lin Qiao’s face turned grim when she said that.

“It didn’t blow? Really?” Hearing her, the others all wore a surprised look.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “The nucleus stored my memory of these five years. I absorbed it, so all my memory has come back.”

“That’s perfect! So, you remember everything now. But, can you… find your body back?” Mrs. Lin looked at the other, her eyes turning red. At that time, Lin Hao walked to the tea cabinet and found a few cups. While pouring water, he looked at Lin Qiao and asked, “Do you want water?”

Looking at her face, he just could not call her sister.

“I’m fine. There’s the virus in my mouth, so I can’t share food with you guys,” Lin Qiao shook her head.

“As long as you’re back! But your body… Will there be a problem with it in the future?”

Everyone knew that she didn’t feed on human flesh, and of course, her zombies wouldn’t eat human beings without her permit. But, what would happen to a zombie in the end if it didn’t eat human beings?

Lin Qiao shook her head and said carelessly, “Human flesh is not the only type of food that I can eat. It’s highly attractive to me, but I know how to control my desire. Didn’t you see me eat mutated animals? Those are enough. In fact, I can live without any food. With my energy, I’m immortal.”

“So, zombies are actually living on energy?” Lin Hao was curious about that. He thought it was the virus which had been maintaining the zombies’ bodily functions.

“Low-level zombies live on the virus, sunlight, air, and human blood and flesh. Their bodies won’t decay even if they don’t have human flesh to eat, because a combination reaction has been happening between their bodies, which has mutated under the effects of the virus, the sunlight, and the air. But without human blood and flesh, their bodies will gradually lose its vitality, and over time, the vitality would be gone completely, and they will die,” Lin Qiao seemed to have sensed the changing process of zombie bodies after she became one of them.

What she said was what the scientists in those large bases wanted to know the most. They just had no way of learning that information from zombies. Only Lin Qiao was able to say those things out loud in human language.

She understood that her words would make a stir if the people from the research institutions in those large bases heard them.

“Don’t tell the others about what I just said, or a stir might be caused,” Lin Qiao reminded the four.

“That explains everything! No wonder!” Lin Hao, who was very interested in this topic, was enlightened. He seemed to suddenly think something through and showed an excited look.

“Why are you so excited?” Lin Feng picked up a cup and took a sip of the water, then glanced at Lin Hao.

At that moment, Lin Qiao continued talking, “Oh, there’s something that I think I should let you know… It’s… that… in fact, I’m pregnant!”

“Pah!” Lin Feng, who had just taken a sip of water, spouted the water in his mouth.

“Pah!” Mrs. Lin did the same.

“Wait… Wait a minute! What did you say?” Lin Wenwen popped her eyes and looked at Lin Qiao in shock. Lin Hao gazed straight at Lin Qiao without saying anything as well.

“Eh-hem… I didn’t want to tell you, but I felt that you might get angry if I kept it secret from you…” Lin Qiao looked at them awkwardly.

“Wait… wait! You said that you are… pregnant. What happened? Aren’t you a zombie? Also, who’s the father?” Lin Feng hurriedly put the cup on the tea table and raised the other hand to signal for Lin Qiao to wait. He had always been a composed man, but now, he seemed to be a little flurried.

He wiped his mouth, then turned and widened his eyes as he stared at Lin Qiao.

“Eh… about that… Actually, the baby is Viney from my space. She didn’t have a real body before, so she needed to upgrade to come out of the space. The condition is… eh… she has to come out through my belly,” Lin Qiao thought for a moment and then said.

She, of course, wouldn’t tell them that there was a man. She planned to leave out the part about that man.

As for how that baby was created, she didn’t plan to tell either.
