Mengmeng took over the cup and slightly turned her body as she put the cup under her nose to sniff at the water. Then, she stuck out her tongue to lick it.
Her tongue wasn’t the same as the tongues of normal zombies. It was long and slim, quickly and nimbly dipping into the water before drawing back into Mengmeng’s mouth.
After that, Mengmeng stuck her tongue and her green eyes glowed. Next, she started pouring the water into her mouth. After the cup was emptied, she handed it to Lin Qiao and gave a roar.
‘I want more!’
Lin Qiao took the cup and said, “You can only have three cups a day.” After saying that, she disappeared. As she reappeared in two seconds, the cup in her hand was refilled with water.
Mengmeng took it over and drank it up before handing it back to Lin Qiao, looking at her with eager eyes while waiting for the next cup of water.
Lin Qiao refilled the cup again for her, then said, “Alright, that’s it for today. You’ll have more tomorrow.”
Mengmeng suddenly sensed satiety from her stomach, so she didn’t disagree with Lin Qiao this time. Instead, she swiftly climbed onto the roof of the stair room like an animal.
At that moment, Lin Qiao turned to look at the other zombies, who were five zombie leaders. She would be able to kill one or two of them, but facing five of them, she had no chance of winning at all.
“Lili, keep an eye on Mengmeng,” Lin Qiao said to Qiu Lili and then turned to walk to those zombie leaders while continuing, “I’ll deal with these level-fives one by one.”
Having finished talking, she stared at the middle-aged, ice-powered male zombie that she had acquaintance with. Qiu Lili raised her head to glance at Mengmeng, then disappeared without a trace.
Once Qiu Lili left, Mengmeng, who was sitting on the roof, got puzzled at first, then abruptly stood up. She looked around for a while, then calmly sat back down. After that, she looked at Lin Qiao with great interest.
At that time, Lin Qiao suddenly disappeared.
In a few seconds, the group of zombies who were standing on the roof realized what had happened. Earlier on, Lin Qiao had disappeared shortly while refilling the cup for Mengmeng. But after that, she reappeared in just three of four seconds.
However, this time, Lin Qiao didn’t reappear in such a short span of time. Qiu Lili was no longer around, so the group of zombies began glancing around to search for Lin Qiao.
They had no idea that Lin Qiao had already turned invisible, and was standing right behind them.
She stood in front of the middle-aged male zombie who had chased after her, looking at the claw wound on his chest that was left by her. The wound hadn’t healed yet, and was still sealed in ice.
As she thought, high-level zombies weren’t able to heal themselves.
Lin Qiao didn’t plan to bring this zombie into her space. Instead, she showed her face half a meter away from him. When showing up, her claws had already clasped his forehead. Once she moved slightly, her sharp claws would sink into his skull.
“Roar!” The ice-powered zombie leader was startled by Lin Qiao’s sudden appearance and then shivered intensely. After giving a roar, he felt that his head was gripped by someone, which made him freeze, without daring to move even a little.
“Last time, I took your food,” Lin Qiao said to him with composure, “I stole your prey, and you chased me for a long time. Every time, it was you chasing me while I was trying to hide. Now, let’s do a fair fight. I’ll let you leave if you win, but if you lose, you’ll have to follow my words, and only my words, in the future!”
“Roar!” The male zombie roared at her, seeming unwilling to do what she had proposed. As they were pretty close to each other, a strong stench from his mouth blew at Lin Qiao’s face.
Lin Qiao immediately covered her nose and said coldly, “Or, do you want me to crush your head right now?”
While speaking, she clenched her fingers and made her claws, which were even harder than steel, sink slightly into the zombie’s scalp.
“Roarrrr!” The middle-aged male zombie didn’t feel pain but sensed a danger, a very strong danger!
“Roarrrrr…” Hearing the warning from the male zombie, the other zombies were immediately on alert against Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao glanced at them, then said to the male zombie, “What do you think? Will you fight me? If you refuse, you’ll die!”
“Roar…”
‘I’ll fight! Don’t kill me!’
“Don’t even think about running. You won’t be able to run away from me, or Qiu Lili,” said Lin Qiao. Finishing talking, she loosened her grip and took a step backward. Once she took her claws away, the male zombie bent over and covered his head with both hands, moving backward step by step.
He stared at Lin Qiao, his dark eyes showing fear. He couldn’t understand why she was so powerful now, as she was weaker than him not long ago.
He felt the whole situation being so unfair. Lin Qiao was apparently stronger than him, yet she asked to fight him. Although she didn’t kill him directly, he wouldn’t have a chance of winning her!
However, Lin Qiao did promise to let him go if he won. Perhaps… Perhaps he could really win!
With that thought, the male zombie suddenly had a gleam of hope in his heart.
Qiu Lili had left, but her vibe was still suppressing this whole area. Therefore, even though she had disappeared, the group of zombies didn’t dare to make any move without permission.
The male zombie stepped further away from Lin Qiao. The latter didn’t move, but calmly crooked her finger toward the male zombie, signaling for him to start.
The male zombie immediately waved both hands toward Lin Qiao. With that, a wave of differently sized ice pieces suddenly fell from the sky, swiftly flying toward her. Next, the male zombie lunged forward and made a circle around Lin Qiao before diving down from her side.
Lin Qiao found that this zombie’s attacks were very random. It was like a monkey throwing stones at its enemy without even aiming. However, the male zombie used his ice power while charging at her to start a close combat. Could the combination of these two types of attacks be considered a fighting strategy?
She looked at the wave of stone-like ice pieces which were falling toward her, then glanced at the male zombie who was charging down at her. Suddenly, she bent her legs slightly and raised both her arms as she sprung at the male zombie without dodging.
The male zombie didn’t think that Lin Qiao would jump at him instead of dodging. As fast as possible, he swung his claws down at her. Seeing that, Lin Qiao slightly turned her left hand to push him to the side and protect herself against the male zombie’s claws. In the meanwhile, she bent her right arm and swung it at him.
Puff!
The male zombie fell on the ground and staggered a little.
He glanced down at the few deep wounds on his arm, then turned his head to look at Lin Qiao, who landed beside him, perfectly unharmed.
