Chapter 95: The Vines’ Absorption
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
The level-four zombie was intelligent, but wasn’t so smart. After being challenged by Lin Qiao, its anger couldn’t help but flare up.
It believed that Lin Qiao came into its territory to start trouble, and was actually disdaining it. She was clearly weaker than it, so how could she mock it like that?
The female zombie felt being underestimated by Lin Qiao. That irritable feeling grew stronger and stronger, urging it to rush up and tear the latter into pieces directly. However, its mind had been telling it not to do that.
Therefore, the female zombie reached out both her hands to release more energy for the tornado, which grew stronger and stronger. However, it had no idea that it was exactly what Lin Qiao had wanted. Seeing the wall falling off the building in small pieces, she just kept waiting.
She was observing the female zombie’s energy consumption. She found that its energy hadn’t been consuming fast, and it was still able to float stably in the air. It seemed that it had hunted a lot of other zombies and absorbed a large amount of energy.
The consumption rate of the female zombie’s energy was way too slow. If the situation carried on, its energy could even last until tomorrow morning.
Lin Qiao thought briefly, then suddenly had an idea. She recalled that for some reason, Xie Dong had jumped into the lake in her space after turning into a zombie, then soon floated back up quietly.
So, she now wondered if any effect would happen if she directly led the female zombie into the lake. After all, her space was capable of blocking the energy from the outside world. She had earth, water, and grasses in her space, but no wind.
The female zombie had wind power, but to create a great destructive wind, it still needed to borrow the natural wind for a start, then strengthen it with its own power. Therefore, Lin Qiao estimated that the female zombie’s wind power wouldn’t be highly harmful to her in her space.
She wanted to try and find out if her space could launch attacks or even kill zombies! If it could, all she would be needing to do for her future battles was sneakily get her enemies into the space when she failed to defeat them!
With that thought, Lin Qiao got a little excited and jumped into action right away. Under the female zombie’s gaze, she flashed into the space, switched to the invisible state, and came back out. However, she didn’t go downstairs, but stayed where she was to observe the female zombie.
Her invisible state disabled her from attacking, but also enabled her for ignoring the attacks of the enemy. Once she turned invisible, she couldn’t feel the tornado anymore; she didn’t even have any sense of danger.
As she disappeared, the female zombie floating in the air paused briefly, then let out a raging roar and waved both arms.
“Roar!”
A thunderous roaring of wind was heard, along with a series of weird noises caused when heavy objects fell to the ground. Under the female zombie’s control, the tornado was suddenly boosted and sped up, to the point where Lin Qiao could no longer measure the wind speed with her eyes. She saw that the concrete on the surface of the entire building had been ripped off, and all the doors and windows had been blown away.
Before long, only the twisted rebars were left of the building.
The female zombie looked around. After failing to sense Lin Qiao’s vibe, it immediately drifted to the top of the damaged building and found a flat area to stand on.
It lowered its head to look into the building and search for Lin Qiao’s traces, but saw and sensed nothing. It didn’t know that the invisible Lin Qiao was standing less than a meter away from it.
Seeing the female zombie stop on top of the building, Lin Qiao quietly approached it. Next, she suddenly grabbed its hand and flashed swiftly into her space. At that moment, the two zombies on top of the building disappeared together from where they were.
Lin Qiao was able to show up in anywhere in her space, so when she caught the female zombie, she directly brought it into the lake, down in the water.
Once in, Lin Qiao let go of the female zombie and swam backward reflexively.
From grabbing the female zombie to flashing into her, space then to loosening her hands and swimming backward, Lin Qiao spent no more than two seconds in this whole series of moves.
Therefore, the female zombie didn’t manage to react when its wrist was suddenly gripped by Lin Qiao. It only felt that its eyes were dazzled, and the scene before its eyes changed. Next, it saw nothing but dark-green water, without knowing where it was.
It realized what was happening only when Lin Qiao let go of her. It felt that its body was sinking, so it began struggling in a panic. However, it had never tried swimming, so no matter how hard it swung its limbs in the water, all its efforts were useless.
Fortunately, as a zombie, it didn’t need to breathe. However, the feeling of being wrapped by the water without being able to put forth its strength frightened it badly.
It tried to release its power, but found that its wind power could deliver no other effects underwater than starting waves of strange ripples.
Lin Qiao, who had drawn back for a short distance, saw the female zombie amidst the glow of the lake water. She saw it struggling like an animal which didn’t know how to swim while sinking slowly.
She also saw it use its power. However, in Lin Qiao’s eyes, the superpower energy released from the female zombie’s palms soon melted in the green light of the lake water.
She watched the scene with surprise, as she didn’t expect the lake to be so powerful.
The lake was like an invincible opponent for the female zombie, because nothing changed no matter how hard it tried to fight back!
While Lin Qiao was excitedly watching the female zombie struggling and sinking in the water, she suddenly sensed an energy wave from the lake bottom. After that, she saw countless familiar vines reaching up toward the female zombie one after another. Before long, the vines had wrapped the female zombie entirely up. Instead of dragging it down, the vines directly wrapped the female zombie into a giant human-shaped cocoon.
Lin Qiao looked at those vines in shock. After the vines caught the female zombie, the energy inside the zombie’s body began leaking and being absorbed by the vines.
Lin Qiao drifted in the water, watching the vines absorb the female zombie’s energy. Half an hour later, she finally sensed that the energy contained in the female zombie’s body had been drained thoroughly.
After that, the vines threw the zombie upward, like throwing away a bag of garbage. At that point, Lin Qiao could no longer sense the female zombie’s vibe anymore.
The zombie’s body slowly floated up, rippling the water.
Seeing that, Lin Qiao began wondering if Xie Dong had been drained and thrown out like that as well. She remembered that when Xie Dong floated up, the water surface had rippled intensively.
As the female zombie floated up like a dead body, Lin Qiao carefully prepared to swim over to it.
But right at that moment, the vines suddenly wriggled toward Lin Qiao. By the time she gave a start, the vines had coiled around her ankles, then quickly reached upward.
‘Damn! They’re not gonna drain me as well, are they?’ She screamed silently.
