Chương 38: Mutated Zombie

Biên tập viên: Hitesh_

Seeing a tall and strong man weakly shouting 'hungry' at her, Lin Qiao found it a little unacceptable. Not to mention her, even Xie Dong was stunned after hearing himself shout 'hungry'.

He dropped his eyes and touched his throat, feeling a little strange. Then, he narrowed his eyes which were filled with confusion, seeming to be trying quite hard to think of something.

Lin Qiao stood aside, watching his reaction in surprise.

Weird! It was too weird! It took time for the virus to attack, so a corpse needed at least twelve hours normally to turn into a zombie. However, from the infection to the virus attack, and then to the transformation, it took him only less than half an hour to finish the whole process. That was too damn fast!

It was probable that the zombie virus had been strengthened, so the attack was quickened and the transformation was accelerated. However, that set aside, why did he still maintain a human face?

The faces of the other zombies were either covered in blue or black veins, or twisted with cracked mouths and buckteeth. In any case, becoming a zombie would dramatically change one's appearance… like what happened to Lin Qiao.

For this reason, Wu Chengyue failed to recognize the zombie Lin Qiao as Lu Tianyu when he saw her earlier on, who had threatened him with his daughter not long ago and forced him into an unspeakable act.

Otherwise, he would have struck her directly into ashes with a thunderbolt!

However, Xie Dong's face remained in good condition. The black veins had stopped bulging out of his face and had even disappeared as a matter of fact. Except for his bluish pale color, nothing was unusual about his appearance by now.

Even his eyes hadn't changed too much. The color of his eyes remained the same, so nobody would discover the change in his pupils unless they stared at them very carefully.

The confused Xie Dong was trying pretty hard to think when he suddenly changed his expression and his eyes began shining with the light of disbelief.

He abruptly raised his head to stare at Lin Qiao, then got up from the ground swiftly and neatly, searching around with his eyes. As a result, he soon had his eyes fixed on Wu Yueling who was sitting on the bed, perfectly unharmed.

At that moment, Wu Yueling was also observing him with curiosity from a distance away.

Seeing that Wu Yueling was fine, Xie Dong sighed in relief, then turned around and looked at Lin Qiao. After he saw that Lin Qiao was also standing at a relatively safe distance, he lowered his head to observe his own condition.

That was when he was stunned out of his mind. He looked at himself up and down, seemingly unable to believe his eyes as he touched and pinched his body here and there with both hands.

Lin Qiao gazed at him for quite a while. After watching his latest series of actions, a thought began to emerge in her mind.

"Roar," she growled at him calmly.

'Do you remember who you are?' Lin Qiao's voice delivered a message to his mind.

She saw Xie Dong's expression pause briefly, following which, he immediately raised his head and stared at her. His eyes contained uncertainty, surprise, confusion, disbelief, and a number of other emotions, all blended together.

"Eh… Ah… Goro…" He opened his mouth but could only let out a series of weird sounds. After that, he realized something and abruptly shut his mouth.

However, Lin Qiao understood what he had said.

'My name is Xie Dong,' he said.

Lin Qiao stared at him in shock. It turned out that this man's name was Xie Dong. His life's memories didn't seem to have disappeared, as he actually remembered who he was!

"Roar?"

'Do you remember how you died?'

Lin Qiao continued to growl at him. Although her current way of speaking was a little strange, she felt that if she didn't make a sound, the zombie Xie Dong wouldn't understand her.

Xie Dong paused for a second and then frowned. After that, his entire face twisted while a strong hatred was clearly seen in his eyes. His mouth opened upwards, exposing his sharp white teeth while the fierce intent of murder flashed in his eyes.

"Roar!"

'So ugly!' Lin Qiao looked and roared at him with contempt.

The look on Xie Dong's face paused again. Realizing that he was getting too emotional, he relaxed his expression and looked back at her helplessly.

He really hadn't lost his memories. He remembered everything that happened in his life before his death, including how he died! However, his memories regarding the virus attack and his transformation were a little blurry for some reason.

But still, he did realize that he had died and become a zombie.

He lacked body heat or a heartbeat, his entire body felt stiff and sluggish, and his skin was bluish. He couldn't talk, but could understand the roars of this other zombie.

All these signs seemed to tell him that he wasn't a human being anymore!

Furthermore...

Xie Dong sniffed in Wu Yueling's direction.

'She smells so good! I'm so hungry! I want to eat her so much!'

Once his eyes swiveled in Wu Yueling's direction, a figure flashed across his eyes and blocked his line of sight.

"Roar?"

'Are you gonna eat a human?' Lin Qiao asked.

Lin Qiao stared at him with cold eyes. She stayed vigilant in case he lost control of his zombie instincts and followed Wu Yueling's aroma to pounce upon her. If that happened, things wouldn't stay all hunky dory anymore.

Xie Dong was surprised when he heard Lin Qiao's warning growl. It was then that he realized what had just happened to him.

The delectable smelling Wu Yueling had caused he instinctive hunger inside his body to nearly control his mind. Just now, he really had this impulse to follow her smell and rush over to her.

He didn't know what he would have done if this female zombie hadn't growled out timely.

He also felt that this female zombie's vibe was absolutely suppressive to him. He couldn't generate even the slightest intention to resist her, and was even very scared of her vibe, even though the latter was acting very kindly.

Looking at her pitch-black eyes, Xie Dong couldn't tell which level this zombie was at, but it was definitely beyond level-four. Furthermore, the message she had delivered just now did not sound like any question that a zombie would ask.

No wonder she could stay peacefully with Chief Wu's daughter. Was this zombie somehow special? Was she like him? Did she have her memories from before her death as well? Could she also have been a special forces soldier?

He was thinking so much that he even showed his emotions from his eyes. Furthermore, since he had become a zombie, Lin Qiao could read his thoughts more clearly than before.

"Roar-woo-roro…"

'I have my memories. I was indeed a special forces soldier before my death,' she said to him.

Hearing Lin Qiao's mumbles, Xie Dong found it rather unacceptable.

"Roar?"

'Did you read my mind?' he asked, shocked and horrified because this female zombie actually read his mind!

'What happened just now?' His eyes popped open in surprise as he gawked at Lin Qiao while asking the question in his head.

"Roar..." Lin Qiao glanced at him, then nodded slightly and responded.

'You can't go out yet,' she said.

Suddenly, she felt that this conversation happening between the two of them was truly getting weird! They roared at each other, unable to talk normally at all. So strange! This felt so infuriating, making her heart so tired!

At that moment, Lin Qiao swept across Xie Dong with her eyes and suddenly saw the pen in the pocket of his camouflage uniform. Her eyes instantly shone and then she pointed her finger at his pocket immediately.
