Chapter 8

The mouse meat had satiated her hunger slightly, but she was still hungry! She wanted more meat!
While thinking, she sniffed the air once again. Some faint aroma came from afar, clearly indicating the presence of an edible source!
She kept sniffing and couldn’t help but follow the aroma. She again squirmed through the woods, making her way out to reach an overgrown grassland. The grasses were tall, about a meter in height and reaching her thighs.
She followed the aroma and noticed that it grew stronger and stronger after she reached this grassland. Yet, when she walked to a certain spot, the aroma disappeared. She looked down at the ground, feeling a strange certainty that the source of the aroma was underneath her feet.
She squatted and looked down at the grassroots, finding a spot that had no grass growing over it.
She raked the area with her claws and found the earth to be soft. There seemed to be a hole down there, possibly a rabbit hole.
Without thinking, she began digging quickly with both her hands. She found that her new nails were especially useful as digging tools. These nails were even able to penetrate zombie skulls, so they surely encountered no resistance from mere earth.
She wielded both her arms and dug very quickly! Soon enough, she had created a large hole which was connected to a tunnel as she kept digging through it.
In just a few minutes, she had already dug half a meter deep into the ground. While she was digging, a gray figure suddenly sprinted out of the tunnel.
Fortunately, Lin Qiao’s reactions were fast enough, plus she was already prepared. When the gray creature raced out, she thrust out her hand and clenched her fingers, catching hold of a fluffy animal.
She lifted it up and took a look. ‘Wow! Such a big rabbit!’ The size of this rabbit was no longer the same as that of ordinary rabbits. This rabbit in her hand was twice as big as regular rabbits, almost as big as a young Chinese rural dog.
After seeing this gray rabbit, a thought flashed across Lin Qiao’s mind, ‘Now, this is a full meal!’
The rabbit in her hand was quite fierce. It kicked its legs with a surprising strength and wielded its front paws wildly, intensely struggling and twisting its body to try and free itself from her grip.
Her fingernails had already sunk into the rabbit’s skin as she seized the furry pelt on its back. The rabbit struggled so vigorously that Lin Qiao couldn’t help but bare her teeth, open her mouth, and bite its neck.
About half an hour later, Lin Qiao wiped her mouth and looked at the clean rabbit fur in her hand.
She wondered if she could collect the rabbit fur in her space.
As she thought about this, she looked at the fur in her hand and said one word in her head.
‘Collect!’
As soon as she finished thinking the word, the furry pelt disappeared from her hand, vanishing into thin air.
‘In!’
After thinking that, she too disappeared without a trace, reappearing on the grassland a short while later.
The reason she went inside the space was to check whether the rabbit fur was truly in there. As she expected, this space could collect things for her as well. To collect something, she didn’t need to take it in herself and only needed to touch it.
Standing in the hole on the grassland, she was preparing to turn away and leave this place when she heard some noise from the rabbit hole that made her pause.
‘Are there baby rabbits inside?’
With this thought, she couldn’t help but squat again and put her hand inside the hole. A sudden stinging pain on her finger made her pull her hand back, and then she saw a fist-sized grey rabbit dangling from her finger.
The baby rabbit was biting her finger and kicking its legs. Lin Qiao caught it with her finger as if she was fishing, feeling a little speechless.
She then grabbed the rabbit with her other hand.
‘Collect!’
And just like that, the baby rabbit was stored in her space as well.
She then put her hand back into the hole and continued rummaging, but found nothing even after spending a few minutes hunting through the hole.
She sighed while standing up and raised her head to look at the sky, then turned around and walked back.
Maybe because she was full now, some more fragments of Lu Tianyu’s incomplete memories popped up in her mind. While she was recollecting these disjointed memories, a throbbing headache hit her again. However this time, the pain wasn’t as bad as before.
In these memories, a large group of soldiers had shown up in a field camp, Lu Tianyu being one of them. However, she was often with a little girl who was around four or five years old.
These memories were found to be incomplete as Lin Qiao sensed the scenes in her head. At last, the scene got fixed in a room. The little girl’s limbs were tied, and her mouth was taped, her black and shiny eyes filled with fear. The one who had tied her up was none other than Lu Tianyu herself.
Lin Qiao finally remembered this now.
Before this, many memories had flashed through her mind, all disjointed and from a long time ago. As for Lu Tianyu’s memories of the past six months, not too many of them had emerged in Lin Qiao’s mind.
Lin Qiao hurried back, as she didn’t know whether that little girl was still alive or not! The girl had been locked up for three or four days by now, and Lin Qiao was worried that she might have had starved to death already!
Thinking about this, Lin Qiao felt a deep contempt for Lu Tianyu. That woman was so selfish, unscrupulous, evil, and brutal that she had even hurt a child! She deserved to be bitten to death by zombies!
…
In the dark night, a zombie was running swiftly down the road in a baggy dress.
Lin Qiao ran very fast because she was so worried about the child. However, the child’s location was too far from her current location. Her limbs weren’t as stiff as zombie limbs anymore, but still, they couldn’t allow her to run fast enough.
As she was running, she realized that she didn’t feel tired at all! That was another benefit of being a zombie.
Her heart had stopped beating. She didn’t breathe, and couldn’t feel anything when she was running. She ran and ran, but still felt nothing after running five miles, as if she was not the one who had ran all this while.
However, she did feel waves of dull ache in her head during the run. She endured the pain while worrying about the child, with some images flashing across her mind from time to time.
In those images, she saw a naked handsome man underneath her with red, raging eyes, strong chest muscles, and a snow-white skin like that of a girl. However, it was a man indeed…
Another scene flashed across her mind, comprising of two men and a woman. It seemed they often carried out missions together, and all three of them had superpowers. The middle-aged man had lustful eyes, the woman looked frosty as ice, and the young man was fierce-looking.
At last, the scene froze again. The fierce-looking man was facing Lu Tianyu with his fists clenched and the woman was throwing out sharp ice crystals that pierced her shoulders while the middle-aged man was talking coldly. Lu Tianyu screamed one last time just before she died.
As she was recalling all of this, Lin Qiao wondered if this could be counted as karma. Lu Tuanyu had gotten many people killed before, and in the end, she was killed by her own teammates.
Lin Qiao was a zombie, so nothing came out to stop her while she was running in the darkness. When running, she was also trying to piece the badly disjointed memories together in her head.
To sum everything up, Lu Tianyu, this sl*tty woman, had her eyes on a man. In order to have this man, she kidnapped his five-year-old child and then raped him!
Holy heavens! This woman actually did such a thing before she died! Why couldn’t she have raped a different man? Why did she have to rape a man who seemed to be so powerful!
Lin Qiao was just speechless as she prayed for herself, ‘Please don’t let me run into that man. I’ll just send his child back in secret! But, I don’t even know whether the child is still alive or not! Damn it!’
…
When Lin Qiao was running desperately toward the city, a squadron of soldiers had been resting for two whole days inside the warehouse where Lu Tianyu was killed by Liu Hongshi and the others in the city.
