Lin Qiao turned to glance at the others, then took a step backward and disappeared.

“Eh? That lady went out. Where did she go? Is she going to find Chief Wu?” Huang Shou raised his head to find that Lin Qiao had disappeared, so he asked.?The others glanced at that area too, then turned back while one of them responded carelessly, “Perhaps...Huang Shou, add some firewood. The fire is too small.”

“Sure!”

Zheng Xiaonian sighed abruptly and said, “If we have some sweet potatoes or cassavas, we could roast them in the live charcoals. It’d be delicious!”

The others rolled their eyes and said, “Even if we did have some, you wouldn’t dare to eat them!” The virus was everywhere, so no one dared to eat anything that hadn’t been purified in a base.

“But, didn’t we all eat those mutant strawberries?” Said Huang Shou, “It’s strange though! We’re really fine…It has been two days.”

Lu Tianyi nodded and said, “Don’t worry! Those strawberries should be safe, since two days have passed and nothing has happened to us. Besides, she has no reason to give us poisonous food. And you see, she gave some strawberries to Little Princess too, didn’t she?”

Kong Qingming looked at him and replied, “Have you forgotten what kind of a person she used to be?”

Once he said that, the others immediately fell into silence.?Lu Tianyu and Xie Dong both had their faces darkened a little, while Huang Shou and the others wore a confused look.

“Eh? Boss, what do you mean…Do you know her?”

Seeing Lu Tianyi’s sullen face, Kong Qingming understood that the former didn’t want to hear that. However, he believed that he still needed to remind Lu Tianyi about that. Lu Tianyu had changed a lot, but based on what she had done before, Lu Tianyi should keep vigilance against her.

“What happened?” Sensing the atmosphere which had changed because of Kong Qingming’s words, the others were more confused.

What was wrong? Was there something going on between their boss and that lady? But, they didn’t know that lady before, so how could she suddenly be in some kind of relationship with their boss?

However, if that lady knew their boss, it would explain why she saved them!

These people thought that Lin Qiao was just a nice person who happened to be passing by and saved them conveniently. But now, they started to make other guesses.

Lu Tianyi blinked and said, “We’ve already eaten those strawberries anyway, so what is the worst thing that can happen? I choose to believe her. You should have noticed that she is completely different from what she used to be. If she didn’t admit, would you recognize her as that woman?”

Kong Qingming silently looked at him for a while, then turned to gaze at his shirt.?Lu Tianyi was right! Right now, they had no choice but to believe her. What else could they do? She provided them with food and water, not to mention the fact that she had saved them.

At that point, Huang Shou suddenly pointed at a pile of potatoes and said, “Look, aren’t those potatoes? Let’s roast some potatoes!” While speaking, he stood up, ran to the pile of potatoes. Soon, he returned back, carrying some of them.

“Sadly, we don’t have ketchup!” said Zheng Xiaonian.

The others spent three seconds staring at him silently, and then, they said to Huang Shou in one voice, “Huang Shou, put the potatoes down in the fire.”

“Sure!” Huang Shou grinned and responded.

…

At the moment, Ling Qiao had no idea that Kong Qingming and Lu Tianyi were both in low spirits for a while because of her. She was standing by a window in a corridor, looking at the rain.

Sensing the sour air coming from the outside, Lin Qiao couldn’t help but sneeze. Then, she rubbed her nose and looked at the sky.?The weather in the post-apocalyptic world was awful. When the sun came out, it would be so hot, about forty or fifty degrees, even sixty at times; people would feel like burning under the sunlight. However, during night-time, it would be terribly cold.

The rainwater was acidic, which was why Lin Qiao sensed a sourness.

Lin Qiao crossed her arms before her chest. At the moment, she wasn’t able to sense the scent of others, as the rainwater had washed all scents away and brought a sour smell which badly affected her nose.

She wasn’t sure if Wu Chengyue was still in the same old spot or not. If he had left, she might not be able to find him. However, his army should be nearby. If she failed to locate him, she would go find his soldiers.

As for Wu Chengyue’s soldiers, both Meng Yue and Xiao Yunlong thought that they had all been killed by the zombie queen.?What they didn’t know was that not long after they left to chase the zombie queen, all the soldiers who had fallen to the ground woke up.

The squad leaders woke up before the others. After all, they were all level-five superpowered men, and their bodies recovered quicker than the others.

As they opened their eyes to find themselves lying on the ground defenselessly, they hurriedly sat up. Then, they saw that the others were all lying on the ground, and they didn’t know if they were still alive.

They panicked as they struggled up from the ground to check the others. But then, they found that those people were merely fainted, with absolutely no wounds on their bodies.

They shook those people and easily woke them up. After the last man was woken up, the group of soldiers checked each other up and found that they were just knocked out.

No one knew what had happened.

When they rushed up to their Deputy Chief’s room, they found the room empty, with traces left by a battle.

What on earth had happened? They didn’t know. They only knew that someone had hit them on the back of their heads and knocked them out. They felt that because after waking up, they could still feel a dull pain from the back of their heads. However, they had no idea who had attacked them.

There were about a thousand of them. However, the attacker knocked them all out without making any noise. That was scary!

But soon, they started feeling lucky, because no zombies came here while they were unconscious. Otherwise, they would have all been eaten, wouldn’t they?

But, why did no zombies come here? That was really weird! Before they fainted, they had seen quite some zombies nearby.

Before, they would shoot any zombies that tried to approach, but as they had all fainted, no one was there shooting zombies. For that reason, there should be more and more zombies.

About ten squad leaders gathered in Xiao Yunlong’s room, discussing.

“What should we do now? We don’t know where did Chief Leader and Great Captain go. It seems that they were forced to leave in a haste.”

“We can’t evacuate without an order. We don’t know where Deputy Chief is, so I think we should send some people to report to Chief.”

“But, Chief is inside the zombie city. We might encounter zombie leaders there.”

“We have to go. We’ll bring more people with us. Not only Deputy Chief and Great Captain have disappeared, but Ling Ling has disappeared as well! She’ll be fine if she’s with Deputy Chief, but what if she’s in danger? Anyhow, we need to inform Chief about what happened.”

“There’s no better way.”

As a result, five level-five squad leaders led tens of soldiers toward the city.
