After watching the bodies of Cheng Tianan and the soldier vanish, Lin Qiao walked out. She never promised Cheng Tianan not to kill him. She had already found the lab, so he was no longer useful.
 

The entrance was hidden. Lin Qiao stood in the middle of the lobby and looked around, then walked to a wall and pressed a button that looked like the switch of a light. Human scent could only be sensed from that switch, meaning that it was often touched by humans.
 

Click! Once she pressed the button, the floor in the middle suddenly sank and then moved sideways, revealing a staircase. At the other end of the staircase was the door of an elevator.
 

Lin Qiao walked downstairs and looked at the door as she pressed the button near it. The door was soon opened, so she turned herself invisible and walked in.
 

The elevator led to the lower floor. As the door opened again, Lin Qiao saw a two-hundred meters squared lab, built from matte metal and glass. Some people were seen moving inside the lab.


As the elevator door opened, everyone in the lab and all the soldiers surrounding the lab turned toward the door. However, they saw nothing but the empty elevator, and were confused.
 

Lin Qiao walked out of the elevator and looked at the hallway on both sides. She walked toward one side and looked into the rooms through the windows on the doors. Behind each door was a sealed room less than twenty meters squared. In each room was a man standing against the wall, fixed on the wall. Their limbs and necks were tied up, seemingly to prevent them from escaping. Lin Qiao saw a man with his head dropped; his skin had turned bluish.
Judging by the scent coming from the room, the man had already become a zombie. As a zombie emperor, Lin Qiao couldn’t possibly get it wrong. She turned and looked into another window, checking all the rooms on both sides of the hallway. The scene in every room was almost the same.
 

The only different thing was that the people in the rooms near the lab had all become zombies. They were unconscious, but not dead. Meanwhile, the people in the rooms near the end of the hallways had been infected by the virus but were still human beings.
 

Lin Qiao sensed the scents coming from the other side of the hallway and found them almost the same as the scents from this side. She turned around and walked to the door of the lab, looking at the researchers in the lab who were wearing long white coats.
 

She read those people’s minds and figured out their positions based on their thoughts. In no time, she found the one who was in charge of this place.
 

The interesting thing was that the forty-year-old man in charge of the lab was thinking about those corpses while thinking about the experiment.
 

As Li Zhengye had said, the man secretly hid those corpses as evidence. However, Li Zhengye found out about it. Li Zhengye didn’t kill him, but threatened him with the lives of his family. As a punishment, Li Zhengye chopped off someone’s arm in front of him.
 

Those things crossed Li Zhengye’s mind and disappeared quickly when Lin Qiao was reading his mind, so she didn’t know about them clearly. But now, she got the whole picture by reading the mind of the lab leader’s mind.
 

That arm belonged to the man’s son.


 

At that moment, the middle-aged man was looking at the elevator with confusion. In the meanwhile, he was also thinking about how he could leak the secret about the experiment without letting Li Zhengye know.
 


Why isn’t anyone there? The elevator couldn’t possibly bring itself down here, could it?
After spending a while staring at the elevator, the man finally couldn’t help but start talking.
 


Yeah, why isn’t anybody there?
The others had the same question.
 

The soldiers nearest to the elevator had stuck their heads into the elevator, looking into every corner. A short while later, they turned around and looked at the others bewilderedly.
 


It’s empty. Nothing seems abnormal in the elevator.

 

The others glanced at each other.
 

Right at that moment, the soldiers near the elevator suddenly fell to the floor one after another and lost consciousness. Seeing that, the people in the lab gave a start and moved backward.
 


They… They… What’s happening to them?
The research assistant nervously hid behind the door as he stuck his head out and looked outside with fear. However, the lab leader stayed relatively composed. Apart from him, the others had each picked up something that could be used as a weapon to defend themselves and held it before their chests. Only after attaining a slight trace of sense of security did they calm down.
 

The lab leader stayed still as he glanced at the fallen soldiers, then at the empty hallway on both sides.
 


Since you’re already here, please show your face and meet us. Perhaps, we can have a talk,
he abruptly raised his voice and said. Hearing that, Lin Qiao showed up while resting her hands in her trouser pockets and standing in the middle of the hallway.


 


I guess your experiment hasn’t succeeded yet,
Lin Qiao looked at the middle-aged man with a small smile.
 

The man looked at her calmly, not seeming surprised on seeing her. Unlike him, all the others were looking at her in shock. Some of them were probably shocked by her pretty face.
 

Lin Qiao glanced at a young man who obviously stunned and said to him with a faint smile,
Watch out. Your eyeballs might fall out.

 

The man gave a start, then realized how he might look like at the moment. He hurriedly adjusted his expression and apologized to her,
I’m sorry, sorry!

 

After apologizing, he felt a little awkward. With a silly smile, he scratched the back of his head while his cheeks had reddened slightly.
 

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Qiao. After hearing what she said first, he furrowed his eyebrows and asked her,
How do you know?

 

Lin Qiao shrugged and responded carelessly,
Oh, I took a guess.

 

Their conversation was a little confusing, but the others all seemed to be surprised.
 

At that time, Lin Qiao turned and glanced at the door at the end of the hallway, then turned back to the man and said,
That’s too obvious. Aren’t you afraid that Li Zhengye might find out and then hurt him to punish you?

 

The person in that room wasn’t infected by the zombie virus. Instead, he was infected by another type of virus that would cause similar symptoms as the zombie virus would.


 

On hearing her words, the middle-aged man tightened his face and looked at her alertly, but didn’t say a word.
 


Relax! How about we make a deal?
Lin Qiao waved a hand and said to him smilingly.
 


What deal?
The middle-aged man stayed silent for about ten seconds. After weighing the pros and cons, he replied to her. The strange woman found the lab, came in easily, and took care of all the soldiers within a second. She was definitely not an ordinary person. She offered to make a deal with him, meaning that he was useful to her.
 

A useful person must have his value, and a valuable person would not die soon.
