Zombie Sister Strategy-Chapter 22
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Xie Dong frowned, unsure about the level of this zombie that Huang Xiao had seen. If it were level-four, then that would be a serious problem.
Level-four superpowered zombies were quite rare, and level-five ones were seen even less. In the recent two years, only two or three level-five zombie leaders had shown up. They were all exceptionally powerful, and the people who had unfortunately encountered them were mostly dead.
Currently, level four was the highest level of the zombies that people could find frequently. Level-three intelligent zombies were more often seen than level-four ones of course. With the strength of Xie Dong’s squad, they might truly face a troublesome situation if it were a level-four superpowered zombie.
…
While running, Lin Qiao suddenly sensed the scent of human beings from behind.
She knew that a human squad was there when she ran past that area earlier as she had sensed the human aroma from a long distance. She just didn’t take it seriously, as she felt that if she left them alone, they would do the same to her.
At no point had she expected that these people would want to provoke her even when she caused no offense to them!
She stopped, then turned around and quietly stared at the human being who had almost caught up with her.
The man was very fast. Lin Qiao could sense the waves of superpower emanating from him. She had guessed that he was gifted with wind power, because she could see how fast and swift his steps were.
Seeing that the zombie had suddenly stopped, Huang Xiao’s heart immediately flipped with joy. He rushed and stopped twenty meters away from Lin Qiao, his eyes fixed on this female zombie while looking at her from head to toe.
This zombie’s hair hung loosely but seemed quite clean. Her face had been destroyed, entirely covered by large tearing wounds, such that it was impossible to see how she originally looked. She had a pair of dark eyes that only high-level zombies had, and her pale lips were pressed tightly together.
She stood there straight in a long baggy dress which blurred her body shape, looking at him with composure in her eyes,
The fact that this female zombie didn’t fiercely pounce on him or show any other sign of aggression made Huang Xiao feel strange. She hadn’t even extended her claws to overtly get ready for attack.
It was worth mentioning that when human beings were hunting high-level zombies, the latter had also been hunting superpowered human beings. The same as human beings, zombies always acted in teams, because in a fight between one level-three zombie and a couple of superpowered human beings, the zombie’s chance of winning was incredibly low.
At the moment, Huang Xiao was all alone as his teammates hadn’t caught up yet. Thanks to his superpower, he had left the rest of the squad far behind. For the high-level zombie standing in front of him, now was the best time to attack.
If she were a regular zombie, she would have pounced on him right away. Therefore, Huang Xiao had left himself a space with a radius of nearly twenty meters to give himself the time and freedom for reaction.
However, this zombie before his eyes didn’t attack him thirstily as he expected. Instead it just calmly stood there, quietly watching him.
They had not begun fighting, so he couldn’t tell if this female zombie was at level three or four. He just guessed level-three based on her speed.
Lin Qiao quietly looked at this man for a while. She clearly knew that he was waiting for his teammates and didn’t want to start the fight right now, because she could sense some of this man’s thoughts. The distance between them was significant and his thoughts weren’t clear, yet she still sensed them.
After knowing his thoughts, she was unwilling to wait with him and fall in a disadvantage. Hence, she turned back and darted away in her original direction.
“Stop!” Seeing this female zombie turn back and run away, Huang Xiao inadvertently burst into a growl and lunged at her. He supported his legs with his wind power while wielding both arms to release a rapid wave of wind blades.
Lin Qiao sharply sensed Huang Xiao’s attack. She nimbly dodged as the wind blades cut at her, then leaped up high in the air. Twisting her body for a few times midair, she flipped once before landing agilely back on the ground.
She dodged more than ten of Huang Xiao’s wind blades which failed to even touch a corner of her clothing. Nevertheless, she was infuriated by this sudden attack.
‘Damn! Do you think zombies are all pushovers? Watch now as I kick your a*s! You think you’re the only bully, huh?’
She popped out her claws while bending at the waist, then thrust her feet against the ground and pounced on Huang Xiao. She was so fast that she had rushed up to Huang Xiao with one swift move.
By that point, Huang Xiao had inadvertently shortened the distance between Lin Qiao and himself while pursuing and attacking. As he was still feeling a little surprised about how this female zombie agilely moved her body and easily dodge all his wind blades, he saw her land back on the ground and suddenly charge at him. She was so fast that she even looked like a shred of a shadow. In a blink, she was right before his eyes.
‘Not good!’ Huang Xiao immediately realized that he had made a grave error as the sense of danger in his heart rose sharply and he hurriedly attempted to draw back.
However, in his haste, he actually forgot to increase his speed with his wind power, managing to do nothing more than building a wind wall around his body. The wind wall lasted only about two seconds before Lin Qiao tore it down with her claws.
Then, before Huang Xiao could figure out what was happening, he realized that he had suffered a few hits. In the next instant, he was flying in the air because Lin Qiao had kicked him away.
After that, Huang Xiao rolled on the ground for a few times, then sat up and instinctively rubbed his arms in panic, checking his body for wounds.
If he were wounded, he wouldn’t be able to escape his fate of becoming a zombie!
He checked his entire body and found no scratch wound on his skin. The greatest pain came from his abdomen where he had suffered a heavy kick.
‘No? No… No wound! Thank god!’
Huang Xiao leaped up, scarcely able to believe his luck. As he prepared to recheck himself to see if he really hadn’t been wounded by the zombie, he suddenly felt cold and then saw some ragged clothes falling onto the ground around his feet.
Then, he looked down at himself, only to see his exposed skin!
Huang Xiao was stunned into silence.
‘Damn!!!’
He instinctively squeezed his legs together and covered the area below his lower abdomen with both hands as quickly as he could. Then, he lifted his head and looked around him in confusion.
He saw no zombie, and only his late-arriving teammates.
“Whoa! What the hell? Huang Xiao, what happened to you?”
The rest of the squad was dumbfounded as the first thing they saw after arriving was Huang Xiao standing there naked! One of them couldn’t help but laugh out loud, then blurted out this question.
‘Damn it! I really want a hole to crawl into!’ Huang Xiao thought.
The expression on Xie Dong’s face was hard to read as he gently made a fist and held it to his mouth, then coughed and said, “Eh-hem… You, lend some clothes to Huang Xiao for him to cover his body. Don’t just laugh!”
He turned his face away while speaking, filled with embarrassment.
Hearing him, the others finally came to their senses. One of them took off his jacket and threw it to Huang Xiao while still laughing.
“Huang Xiao, have you been molested by someone?”
