267 Timid

After entering her space, Lin Qiao showed up next to the pile of solar equipment parts. The others had already gathered in that area. At the moment, they were talking about how to put these parts back together.

Lin Qiao walked over and asked, "Can anyone assemble it?"

Hearing her voice, the others all turned to her.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "None of us can do it. Li Zheng, you and your people don't know how to install it either, do you?" While speaking, he turned to Li Zheng and his teammates who were standing in front of him.

Li Zheng shook his head and replied, "Nope. I think we should wait for Deputy Yuan to bring some help back."

Li Qiao abruptly turned to Li Zheng and his people as he said, "Why do I feel that I've seen you somewhere before? Your scents are familiar to me as well." While speaking, he leaned toward them to sniff.

"Yee…" Seeing that, Li Zheng and his people automatically stepped back. Feng Yuming hurriedly waved his hands and said to her, "No, no! We never met before. At least, I've never seen you."

Looking at Lin Qiao's shiny bald head and scary dark eyes, he couldn't help but shiver out of fear.

Lin Qiao approached him and said wickedly, "Why are you so afraid of me? Do you fear that I might eat you? Don't worry, I don't eat lazy boys."

As she came close to him, Feng Yuming was truly frightened. However, he felt that she was just teasing him.

"You… You… Stay away from me!"

Lin Qiao moved backward smilingly, then carefully looked at Li Zheng and his people up and down. While thinking, she said, "I really feel that I've seen you somewhere before. How strange!"

Li Zheng shook his head and smiled at her as he responded, "I'm not sure why you feel that way. But, I haven't seen you before." While speaking, he turned to Fei Chonglin, Lei Yao, and Huang Ming.

Few Chonglin and Lei Yao shook their heads together, as they had never seen Lin Qiao before she saved them either. Unlike them, Huang Ming fixed his eyes on Lin Qiao's face with confusion, seeming to be struggling.

"You look familiar to me too. Are you from Sea City Base?" He asked.

Lin Qiao looked at him. There was a distance between the two of them, so she couldn't sense his thoughts. However, the look in his eyes told her that he had thought of something.

"You mean before I became a zombie? Yes," she responded.

Huang Ming looked at her face and said, "I feel that I've seen you before, but I can't remember where and when. May I ask your name?"

Lin Qiao looked at him and replied with a meaningful tone, "I think you better not know my real name."

She knew that Huang Ming wasn't from the Hades Base, meaning that he wasn't one of Li Zheng's team members. He was from Sea City Base, and Lin Qiao guessed that all Sea City Base people had some impression of her face.

She looked drastically different now compared to before, as she wasn't wearing any makeup, was bald, and had zombie eyes. However, Huang Ming still recognized her a little.

"Why not? Isn't your name Lu…" Lin Hao, who stood aside, suddenly began saying her name out loud.

"Ahyayayahoho… Shut up!" Lin Qiao uttered a series of weird sounds to interrupt him, then sourly glanced at him.

'Because you're not from Sea City Base!' She wanted to shout at Lin Hao. After glancing at him, she asked Li Zheng another question, "Were you all under Chief Netherworld Fire's command before?"

She had learned that she had a title and identity which were completely strange to her, and saying those out loud made her feel weird.

Li Zheng nodded while asking, "Yeah, why?"

Mrs. Lin and Lin Feng were also looking at Lin Qiao; both of them had been making some guesses.

Lin Qiao noticed the gazes from Mrs. Lin and Lin Feng, so she didn't continue the topic. "Ah, nothing, I'm just curious."

At that moment, Lin Wenwen abruptly came close to her and pointed at the two zombies which were quietly sitting in the two large buckets while asked, "Those two are zombies, are they? What did you do to them?"

Lin Qiao turned to that area and found that Lin Wenwen was talking about Qiu Lili's two underlings.

"Nothing… I just want them to bathe for a few days," she said.

While speaking, she walked to the two zombies. She found that the energy in the water inside the buckets was nearly drained, and the two zombies were facing the group of living human beings while staring at them.

For some reason, she wanted to laugh. Why did the two zombies look more and more like two large dogs?

Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying followed her over curiously. Behind them were Lin Hao and Feng Yuming. Feng Yuming didn't want to come, but ended up being dragged over by Lin Hao. The four of them followed Lin Qiao while maintaining a distance of two meters behind her, trying to figure out what she was doing.

As they got close enough, they found that the two zombies were hungrily gazing at them with wide-open, creepy-looking black eyes.

"Oh my! They won't jump out of the buckets to eat us, will they?" Feng Yuming was startled.

Lin Qiao looked at them and said, "Come here… Stand right in front of them and see if they'll jump out."

'Why is this kid so timid?' She wondered.

Feng Yuming quickly shook his head. If Lin Hao hadn't been grabbing his arm tightly, he would have sneaked back long ago.

Lin Wenwen took a small step forward, curiously looked at the two zombies in the buckets while asking, "What are you doing?"

It was the first time for her to see such quiet zombies. Their faces had been washed clean, but their pale skin, deeply sunken eye sockets, dark circles under their eyes, sharp teeth, and black eyes still made them look terribly scary.

"Transform," Lin Qiao only said one word.

Seeing Lin Qiao come close, the two zombies both uttered deep growls toward her. Lin Qiao glanced at the water in the female zombie's bucket, then said to her with a cold face, "You see, you've drunk so much of the water in your bucket. Why aren't you stuffed to death?"

Lin Qiao was a little speechless, as the water in the female zombie's bucket was now only waist-deep.

"Roar…" the female zombie gave her an unconfident roar, then was attracted by the scents of Lin Wenwen and the others again.

'They smell so nice… I want to eat them so badly… I'm so hungry!'

Lin Wenwen turned to Lin Wenwen and the others and said to them, "Your scents are tempting these two zombies."

Once she said that, Feng Yuming freed himself from Lin Hao's grip and turned to run away fleetingly.

"Oh? Why're you running? Damn, are you even a man? How can you be such a chicken!" Lin Hao shouted at his back.

"I am a man! But, no one said that men can't be afraid of zombie!" Feng Yuming shouted back from a distance away.

Lin Hao pointed at Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying, then continued, "Look, even the girls aren't frightened! What the hell are you afraid of!"

Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying were curious about why the two zombies sat motionlessly in the two buckets. The two zombies were alive, and the look in their eyes clearly showed that they wanted to bite the group of human beings very much. However, they didn't make a single move.

Were they tied up?
