Lin Qiao exited her space and found it was dawn on the outside. She had memorized the scents from the jade. Except for Bao Xiaoguo’s scent, the jade also carried another scent which was very weak.

It had nearly faded, but Lin Qiao still grasped and memorized it.

The sky was bright, yet the sun hadn’t risen.

Lin Qiao sneaked out from under the square. Last night, the zombie prison had been entire sealed off. But still, nothing hindered her.

The experiments that she did with Bao Xiaoguo and Xiao-xiao had succeeded, so she did not need to do any further experiments with ordinary zombies.

After leaving the zombie prison, she hopped onto the tallest streetlight around the square. Standing there, she carefully searched form the scent of Bao Xiaoguo’s sister with her nose.

Huaxia Base was huge, and she didn’t have a map. She didn’t even know where A-2 Zone was, so she decided first to find the scent and follow it.

It was not easy to find that scent. After all, Huaxia Base was super huge. She was able to sense the scents from tens of miles away, yet she still needed the air to bring the scents to her.

After spending half an hour sniffing at the air, she finally found the scent of Bao Xiaoguo’s sister from all sorts of scents that she sensed and located her. Meanwhile, she had located Li Zheng’s squad as well. She wouldn’t go and find them for now, as it was not yet the time.

…

While Lin Qiao was trying to find Bao Xiaoguo’s sister, something strange was happening in Xiamen, the zombie city, in Fujian Province.

A level-five zombie was running as fast as it could. It was twice as fast as a sports car which was moving at its full speed. However, in just ten seconds, another zombie descended from the air and violently smashed it to the ground.

Bang! Following that thunderous noise, the level-five zombie was thrown onto an abandoned car, which was flattened.

Another zombie squatted on the level-five zombie’s back and pressed it down, then pierced its claws into the skill of the level-five zombie which was still struggling. It then stirred and dug out a zombie nucleus.

The level-five zombie stopped moving as its skull was penetrated.

The zombie who took its nucleus didn’t linger there, but quickly stood up and started out, disappearing without a trace within a blink.

The same thing was happening in the entire Xiamen city. A great number of zombies at level-five or below were hunted, their zombie nuclei taken away.

Except for the ordinary zombies, all the other zombies were facing a massacre.

The zombies at level six and seven had become predators who were hunting all the lower-leveled zombies in the city.

“Roar!” A roar came from a long distance away, making all level six and seven zombies stop moving. Next, all those zombies turned and moved in one direction simultaneously.

Before long, they arrived at International Center in Xiamen—the tallest building in the city—and then quickly climbed onto the roof.

If humans saw the zombies on the roof in that building, they would certainly panic.

Five level-seven zombies and thirteen level-six zombies… Each one of them could bring humans a sense of crisis. But now, eighteen of them had gathered together.

On the roof, those high-leveled zombie only did one thing. They took out handfuls of zombie nuclei, walked to the middle of the roof, and piled those nuclei on the ground. After that, they stepped backward to the edge of the roof and waited quietly.

About ten seconds later, two figures walked out of the stair-room on the roof. Judging by their body shapes, they looked like a male and a female. The female followed behind the male, and the male was heading toward the pile of nuclei on the ground.

They were not humans either. Their purely black, pupil-less zombie eyes wore a calm and composed look.

After picking up that pile of zombie nuclei, the two zombies turned and hopped onto the edge of the roof, then darted toward Sea City and soon disappeared.

The other zombies on the roof all followed behind them.

That night, Qiu Lili and Yun Meng gave a start at the same time in All Beings Base in Upper City District, then leaped up to the roof and faced Sea City with hesitation.

“What did you feel? Qiu Lili asked Yun Meng.

She had wind power, so she was able to sense things from the winds. However, as a possessor of green power, Yun Meng had keener sensations than her.

With a serious look, Yun Meng turned her eyes away from that direction, then slowly dropped her head to think. A short while later, she raised her eyes and looked at Qiu Lili. A sharp beam of light flashed across her eyes. “They have shown up,” she said.

Qiu Lili frowned, asked, “Really?”

Yun Meng didn’t say anything else but nodded.

Qiu Lili couldn’t help but put a finger into her mouth. Biting her finger, she said, “But, we don’t know when Qiaoqiao will be back.”

“It’s okay,” said Yun Meng, “I think they are not targeting at us. We still have time.”

“But, even if they’re going for Sea City Base, we still can’t stand by and do nothing,” Qiu Lili dropped her hand, then crossed her arms before her chest.

“Let’s go and talk to Yuan Tianxing and the others,” Yun Meng thought for a moment and then said.

Qiu Lili nodded, replied with, “That’s our only choice.”

…

Back in Huaxia Base, Lin Qiao soon located Bao Xiaoguo’s sister. She was in a residential area of commoners. No superpowered ones lived in that area.

The living conditions of commoners were surely awful, and so was the public security.

The scent got closer and closer. Lin Qiao followed the scent to Bao Xiaoguo’s sister and found that she was living in a dormitory building, together with many other people.

That was a six-story dormitory building with single rooms. Each floor had over ten single rooms; the rooms weren’t large, but each accommodated more than six people.

It was broad daylight, yet most of those people stayed indoors. They didn’t have a job, and the weather was cold. Therefore, they all chose to stay in their rooms.

Lin Qiao was surprised when she found the room of Bao Xiaoguo’s sister, because the people who lived in that room were all male.

When she saw Bao Xiaoguo’s sister, she suddenly felt that the girl must have had some special ideas.

She felt that way because the girl didn’t look like a girl at all. She was relatively shorter than the others; her skin was dark and sallow, brows were thick, and hair were super short, only slightly longer than a crew cut. She was wearing grey cotton-padded coat and trousers. Those clothes looked very old, not clean, but not very dirty either.

She looked like an ordinary boy, her eyes showing a calm look. But, those eyes of hers glowed brightly from time to time.
