403 Tang He Is Scared Away

Lin Qiao stood on top of that building. There was another person on the roof, facing where Lin Qiao came from with his eyes closed, seeming to have been sensing something. He didn't sense that Lin Qiao was right behind him as he kept his posture while standing there.

Lin Qiao didn't expect to really find out his location. What she had sensed from him was faint and unclear. She knew that what Qiu Lili had felt was the same, as the latter's sensations were weaker than hers.

Qiu Lili didn't take it seriously, but Lin Qiao was on the alert.

She began wondering how she should deal with this level-seven post-apocalyptic robber. Should she directly attack him? She wasn't sure if she would be able to drive him away by fighting him.

After all, she was only at level-six. If she put her superpower and physical strength together, she might be able to make the fight end in a tie, but Viney had told her to not fight too hard!

So now, she was only able to make long-range attacks, but no close combat!

However, the advantages she had would be cut in half if she weren't going to start any close combat.

She pondered for a while, then decided to launch a sneak attack first. The smart and cunning Viney should have a special skill to protect herself anyway.

After making up her mind, Lin Qiao raised her hands and popped her claws. Her claws looked black and translucent in her invisible state, as strong as ever.

She quietly walked up behind that robber and straightened her right hand to make her four sharp claws look like the tips of blades. After that, she suddenly lunged that hand toward the back of the robber's head.

Ting!

A shrill noise was heard as Lin Qiao's claws brushed across the back of his head and went to one side of his face.

Tang He immediately turned around and made a step backward. He looked behind him in shock, but saw no one.

"Who is it? Get out!"

Meanwhile, Lin Qiao watched his reaction with surprise.

Did he sense her attack coming? He actually shielded the back of his head with his metal power.

"Get out! Are you too afraid to show your face? But, you're daring enough to attack me sneakily!" Tang He shouted at the cold air as he looked around, still seeing no one.

At the same time, Lin Qiao was standing right beside him, looking at him confusedly.

He clearly wasn't able to sense her presence, but how did he manage to protect himself against her attack?

Tang He was a little panicked at the moment, but he didn't show that on his face.

He didn't know what hit him on the back of his head just now. If he hadn't had his back and his skull covered in metal the whole time, his head would have been punctured.

Just now, he didn't sense any attempts of attacking or murderous intention.

Lin Qiao didn't show her face as he asked, and just stood near him to carefully observe his expressions. She wasn't able to read his mind, but did sense some of his watchful vibe.

Tang He shouted a few times but saw no one show up. After that, he started feeling endangered.

Lin Qiao spent a while staring at his neck side and found that his skin was covered in a thin layer of metal. After the first attack, he was already on full alert. Therefore, further sneak attacks would be meaningless.

Right at that moment, Tang He suddenly leaped upward, stepped on the edge of the roof, and jumped off the building at lightning speed. Within a blink, he disappeared without a trace.

Lin Qiao hopped onto the stage by the edge of the roof and saw him fleeing speedily toward West Lake District, but didn't chase him. Watching him leave quickly, Lin Qiao guessed that he wouldn't come back anytime soon. So, she turned and headed back to the new base.

Back on the roof of Victoria Hotel, Lin Qiao found no zombies come back with buckets. With nothing else to do, she flashed back into her space to play with the dog.

The zombie dog was startled when she suddenly showed up. It was lying on the ground and sleeping; as Lin Qiao popped up before its eyes, it sprung up from the earth.

"Roar…"

'Damn! You scared the hell out of me!'

Lin Qiao heard its roar and silently translated it into human language.

"Whoooo…"

Seeing Lin Qiao, the zombie dog bent its limbs and lowered its head vigilantly, staring at her with sharp eyes while roaring with a deep voice.

"What are you doing? Roaring at me? I might kick you're a*s! I was going to offer you some water. Do you want water?"

Lin Qiao squatted in front of the dog, picked up a branch, and pointed it at the dog while speaking.

"Bow-wow…" The zombie dog didn't like being threatened, so it barked at Lin Qiao and bared its teeth. There was only a short distance between them, yet the dog didn't dare to pounce on her and bite.

Lin Qiao curiously stared at the vine around the dog's neck. Viney had disappeared, but this vine didn't. Even its color didn't change.

She stood up and walked toward the lake. Passing by the strawberry field, she found that the strawberries hadn't been picked for a long time. There were many ripe and large strawberries there now.

She couldn't help but pick two strawberries, wipe them with her sleeve, then put one in her mouth.

As she made a bite, a sour flavor spread in her mouth and sent shivers to her whole body. But after that sourness, a strange and slight pleasure stimulated her brain.

'Eh?'

She was puzzled for a second, then made another bite. As she expected, she again shivered because of the sourness, after which, that pleasure gushed into her brain and soon disappeared.

While eating, she found a soup bowl and fetched some water from the lake with it, then carried it to the woods and squatted to put it before the zombie dog.

"Here, have some water!"

In fact, she didn't know if the zombie dog needed water or not, even though the other zombies all desperately wanted the water.

The zombie dog glanced at the bowl of water, then at Lin Qiao, then turned back to the water, but didn't touch it. At that moment, Lin Qiao sensed that some zombie leaders were back. So, she stood up and said to the zombie dog, "I'll leave it here. You can choose to drink it or not."

After saying that, she flashed out.

Once she was back on the roof, she saw the two level-four zombies standing there, each holding a large plastic bucket. As Lin Qiao showed up, they all looked at her with anticipation.

Lin Qiao walked to them and checked their buckets. Those buckets were similar to the ones in her space, and weren't broken.

She nodded and said, "These will do. Later on, you should bring them back into your own places after the bath. Next time, you can still use them."

Having finished talking, she took over the two buckets and flashed back to the lakeside.

She took off her shoes and walked into the lake with bare feet. After filling the two buckets, she exited her space.

Boom! Boom!

She put the two buckets of water on the ground, then said to the two level-four zombies, "Take off your clothes and get in."

Those two had already learned how to take off their clothes and put them back on, as Lin Qiao had taught them in her space. Once Lin Qiao finished talking, they quickly stripped themselves and stepped into the buckets, despite their different genders.
