Lin Feng often followed around his sister, who was the chief, so he was rather familiar with her vibe. As clear-minded men, both he and Yuan Tianxing soon figured out that the zombie’s vibe was similar to Lin Qiao’s.

Vibes couldn’t be copied…So, was this a coincidence?

Mrs. Lin and Lin Wenwen hadn’t recognized Lin Qiao’s vibe yet. Lin Wenwen didn’t have sharp sensations, so she wasn’t as sensitive to vibes as Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing were. Mrs. Lin was just an ordinary human being who could barely sense things. She felt familiar only because the zombie had given her a very strong feeling.

Long Qingying wasn’t a member of Lin Family, neither did she spend much time around Chief Netherworld Fire. So, she didn’t have any special feelings.

At that moment, Lin Qiao suddenly moved her hand. In the next second, a white clipboard appeared in her hands.

She found this clipboard among Qiu Lili’s belongings. Earlier on, she had gone to find a bra. But instead of a suitable bra, she saw the clipboard. As it could allow her to write more conveniently, she took it.

And now, the clipboard just came in handy. Even though she was able to talk now, she couldn’t talk fast. Once she tried to speak faster, she wouldn’t be able to p.r.o.nounce clearly anymore. Therefore, she decided to write for serious conversations.

Seeing that Lin Qiao was ready, Yuan Tianxing glanced at Lin Feng and signaled for him to start the conversation. Lin Feng thought for a moment, then asked with curiosity, “Your name is Lu Tianyu, right? May I ask why you came to save us?”

He wanted to know if someone had asked Lin Qiao to save him and his family.

He and his people couldn’t trust any stranger. In the apocalyptic era, trust had become a luxury. Even the people who fought side by side with him had betrayed him, let alone the fact that he was now facing not a friend or a teammate, but a zombie. Days ago, they still believed that all zombies needed to be killed.

He put himself in Lin Qiao’s shoes and figured that as a zombie, she didn’t have a reason to come all the way from the South to save a group of human beings. So, he just had to wonder about her real purpose.

They had nothing to offer to these zombies except for their lives. So, why on earth were these strange zombies here? Were they really here to help?

They had only known these zombies for two days, so they didn’t believe that. However, what all happened had proven that this group of zombies had indeed been helping them the whole time. They fought Yang Jianhua, and healed him and Yuan Tianxing. Therefore, even though he suspected the zombies of having other purposes, he didn’t share his thoughts with others.

Yuan Tianxing was prepared to go to the Sea City Base to find Li Zheng and his people in a couple of days, and also to try finding out something about Lu Tianyu. He thought that Sea City Base people might know something about her.

However, little did Lin Feng know that Lin Qiao had sensed most of the thoughts of the roomful of people. She was no longer limited by her power level, so she even sensed some of Yuan Tianxing’s thoughts, as he was right beside her.

She understood that these people wouldn’t trust her so easily. So, she pondered for a while, and felt that she shouldn’t try to make up an excuse. Instead, she should just…

While thinking, she wrote on the clipboard with a charcoal pencil—

‘No reason. I just want to save you.’

The others felt that that wasn’t even an answer.

Reading this answer, the group of people felt that they shouldn’t ask further questions about why she had helped them. After all, a zombie could do whatever it wanted.

Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing glanced at each other. This time, Yuan Tianxing said, “Mis-Miss. Lu, even though we don’t know why you helped us, we still want to thank you. Your water has great healing power, and it’s more effective than all our drugs.”

While calling her ‘Miss. Lu’, Yuan Tianxing couldn’t help but glance at her bald head. Then, before losing control of his expression, he hurriedly smiled and began talking.

However, how could Lin Qiao not detect his weird fake smile? After all, Yuan Tianxing used to be her Deputy Captain before the old world ended. She habitually rolled her eyes and then wrote—

‘You’re welcome.’

At that point, Mrs. Lin, Lin Wenwen, and Lin Feng had fixed their eyes on Lin Qiao’s handwriting, and were lost in thoughts.

The longer they looked at the handwriting, the more familiar they felt it was.

Earlier on, Lin Feng had sensed that Lin Qiao’s vibe was similar to that of his sister who had blown herself up, and now, he had recognized Lin Qiao’s handwriting.

‘Why is this zombie so much like Lin Qiao?’

He wondered

, ‘Her vibe, even her handwriting?’

The faces of Mrs. Lin and Lin Wenwen darkened a little when they saw Lin Qiao’s handwriting. Meanwhile, the confused look in their faces had become more and more obvious.

Apart from Lin Family members, Yuan Tianxing had recognized her handwriting as well. However, he didn’t make any reaction to that.

Lin Qiao silently sensed their thoughts, then glanced at her own handwriting. She had thought that they might recognize her handwriting before. She didn’t know what influence that might cause, but she didn’t care.

They might continue doubting her, or slowly accept her, but she could only wait and see.

Perhaps, there was a better way to protect them. But, she wanted something more than secretly protecting them while they knew nothing about her existence. She took the risk because she wanted to make direct contact with her family.

Even though she had become a zombie, she still wanted to talk to her family and be with them.

Yuan Tianxing blinked, then continued, “We’ve decided to stay here. In the near future, we’ll start to build our new base. We’ll be waiting for the right time to take revenge against Yang Jianhua and Long Yubai.

While saying the names of Yang Jianhua and Long Yubai, Yuan Tianxing was still smiling, and his tone hadn’t changed at all. However, he didn’t manage to conceal the murderous intent in his eyes.

The others wore the same look as him, but their faces were much more twisted than his. However, all of them didn’t make a single sound.

Lin Qiao sensed their mood swings, but had no feeling toward Long Yubai and Yang Jianhua. However, she remembered the dull pain that she had in her head when she heard the words ‘lifesaver’ before.

She suddenly felt that she should make another trip to the South, to figure out the connection between her and the dead Lin Qiao.

Did she lose her memories? Or, was there another person pretending to be her? The first guess was possible, but not the second.

No matter how, she needed to figure the whole thing out. First of all, she had decided to start with her dead self.
