425 Make Zombies Dig Holes

After taming the female zombie, Lin Qiao put her in small space number one and forbade her from coming out. After that, she exited her space to find more zombies.

The city used to have a lot of level-four and five zombies. However, almost all level-five zombies had been scared away by Qiu Lili, and had left the downtown area.

Lin Qiao spent three days searching across the city and found a dozen level-four zombies, with all sorts of powers.

One of them even had the rare spirit power.

That was a boy who looked like a high-school student, about five-feet and seven-inches tall. His clothes were the cleanest among all, because he was smarter than the others, and seemed like a neat freak.

He didn't have wounds on his face. His eyes were cold and dark, and his face was clean and pale. The dark circles under his eyes were huge. His hair seemed to be often washed by water. They weren't as clean as the hair of many healthy human beings, but were still way better than the hair of the other zombies.

He would look great without those dark circles under his eyes.

This spirit-powered zombie wasn't as panicked as the other zombies when he was caught by Lin Qiao. On the contrary, he calmly negotiated with Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao found him in a school. After being suddenly dragged into Lin Qiao's space, he spent a few seconds quietly staring at her in the eyes, then began looking around with composure.

Soon, he noticed the special lake.

He didn't dare to rush directly at the lake, as his power was limited in this place, and that gave him a great sense of crisis.

Also, he didn't yet know why Lin Qiao brought him in.

"Do you want to drink some of that water? Follow my orders, and I'll give some to you," Lin Qiao said to him.

"Roar…" He asked Lin Qiao cautiously, as he worried that she might be lying. 'Really?'

Lin Qiao pointed at the three small spaces and the woods area, then said, "Work for me like them, and I'll let you drink the water from here every day. However, you are not allowed to go near the lake without my permission. If you violate my rules, don't blame me for having no mercy."

Some of those level-four zombies that Lin Qiao caught these days didn't want to follow her rules. They couldn't resist the temptation from the lake water, so when Lin Qiao wasn't here, they attempted to go directly into the lake.

However, Lin Qiao sensed their movements once they made them. As a result, she flashed in and crumbled their heads.

Such things happened two or three times. The other zombies decided to stick strictly to the rules after watching Lin Qiao savagely kill those greedy zombies.

Also for that reason, Lin Qiao warned every level-four zombie that she brought in later on.

"Roar!" The boy agreed without hesitation. 'Deal, as long as you let me drink the water.'

As a possessor of spirit power, his physical strength was weaker than that of the other zombies; also, he was slower than the others. Back in the outside, he often needed to hide from the other same-level zombies. No to mention attacking other zombies for their nuclei, it was already difficult for him to keep his own nucleus safe.

Once he was brought into this space, he had sensed that the energy contained in the lake could help him upgrade. Not only did the lake contain the energy, but so did the air. Being exposed in the air here for a long time would also make a difference.

If he occupied this space for his own, he would be able to stay here forever to absorb the energy here…

Lin Qiao quietly stared at him and said abruptly, "If you want to stay here, you should get rid of that idea which you aren't supposed to have. What power do you think you have that can make this place your own?"

Her words destroyed the zombie's fantasy.

She didn't only say those words to warn that zombie boy, but also to let the other zombies know that she was able to read their minds.

"Yes, I can read your mind, every one of you. When you had that idea just now, I wanted to kill you," said Lin Qiao while sending her strong vibe toward that zombie boy.

Right now, that zombie boy felt a true terror. He realized that the zombie standing in front of him was not only at a much higher level than he was, but was also way smarter than him.

That made him feel as if he was a clown.

He didn't know what a clown was, but he felt like one.

"Owooo…" The zombie dog didn't like that zombie boy who had an extra weak vibe. As Lin Qiao spent a long time talking to him, the dog walked to her with jealousy.

"Why are you howling? Go and stay over there," Lin Qiao glanced at the dog and said.

After catching almost all level-four zombies in the Upper City District and killing some of them, Lin Qiao brought the rest of them back to the sweet potato field and let them out.

About a dozen level-four zombies suddenly showed up on the field, looking around confusedly.

Lin Qiao tied a rope on a hand of each of them to limit their range of activity.

Those ropes weren't strong. However, she had told those zombies that anyone who broke the rope and ran would be suffering real pain. She had deals with them. If they regretted and took off, she would kill them.

The Upper City District was her territory now, and no one was allowed to act unruly in this area.

Those zombies needed her permission to do free activities.

Those zombies were all very afraid of her, and all wanted to run. However, as they saw the large circle above their heads which was formed from the dark mist that Lin Qiao had released, they were aware that they would have no chance to run.

The sense of crisis which was given by the dark mist was stronger than that from Lin Qiao herself by many times over.

Lin Qiao stood in front of those zombies, then squatted and began digging a rat hole with her claws.

"Watch me do it first, and do whatever I do."

Those zombies all understood her words, so she didn't need to spend the extra mental energy to control their minds.

Zombies had sharp teeth and claws. So for them, digging with claws would be more efficient than with tools.

Those zombies had no idea what she was digging. They watched her with curiosity, until she dug out a few large sweet potatoes.

She threw away those sweet potatoes which each weighed a couple of kilograms, then said, "Here, you need to dig these out. The more you dig out, the more water you'll get."

Those zombies looked at her confusedly. They still didn't understand why she wanted them to dig sweet potatoes. Were those edible?

However, despite how confused they were, none of them dared to be disobedient as they quickly squatted and started digging. Some of them even tasted those sweet potatoes with curiosity, and as a result, their faces were filled with dislike after the very first bites.

Lin Qiao sat by the edge of the woods and said to the zombie dog which wanted very much to go in there, "Bowwow, get in and get me a large rat. Don't bite through its skin though, because I don't want to eat your saliva."

She ordered the zombie dog to catch her a rat to eat.

Nearby, Xie Dong and Shen Yujen, who had spent the past three days digging sweet potatoes with hoes, were stunned upon seeing Lin Qiao show up with over ten level-four zombies. After that, they saw her squat to teach those zombies to dig holes!

The expressions on their faces were just indescribable…
