It’s indeed impossible for us to get out of this Upper City District through hundreds of thousands of zombies now,
said Kong Qingming. He looked around and found that the area had been empty all this while, wondering why no more zombies showed up. The three zombie leaders had left, so the other zombies should have been attracted to here by their scents soon.
But they had stood here for two or three minutes, yet the surrounding area was still quiet.
It was weird.

Yeah,
Huang Shou agreed,
we don’t have any superpower energy or weapons. Our strength is down by seventy percent.

However, Lu Tianyi said,
No, we can stay outside for now. If we have guns, we can still deal with ordinary zombies. Besides, our powers will recover slowly. We just need some time.
In fact, he didn’t want to stay in that space. Once he saw her face, he didn’t want himself to be protected by her. At least, he didn’t want to enter her space, because that would make him feel that he was too useless.
Besides, if he stayed in that space, he wouldn’t have enough opportunities to spend time with her. He wanted to figure out who she was.
He wanted to know if she was really Lu Tianyu or not!
Kong Qingming glanced at him, staying silent while the others looked at each other. Since their boss had said so, they decided to stay outside with him as well.

But, where can we find guns now?

Lin Qiao glanced at them, then abruptly squatted and waved a hand. After a series of clings and clings, a line of guns appeared on the ground: pistols, rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles…All kinds of guns just appeared before their eyes.
After letting out those guns, Lin Qiao stood up and took two steps backward, then faced Lu Tianyi and pointed at those guns.
Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming glanced at each other, remaining silent.

Whoa! Are these for us!
Seeing those guns, the others popped their eyes in shock. With these weapons, their strength would rise by fifty percent! That meant their lives would be safer by fifty percent!
Lin Qiao stood there quietly, but in her head, she couldn’t help but complain, I’ve taken them out, so there’re surely for you. Or what? Should I set a stand here and sell them?’
Lu Tianyi slowly walked over, standing in front of Lin Qiao as he stared at her. At last, he couldn’t help but ask,
Can I see your eyes.

His teammates had squatted impatiently, prepared to touch those guns. But on hearing his question, they all raised their heads to look at them, then turned to Lin Qiao. Looking from down here, her chin was even prettier.
They glanced at each other, then showed a meaningful smile in their eyes while glancing at Lu Tianyi with surprise.
Did their boss have a crush on her? It was understandable. Not many women lived in the base, and even fewer of them would come out to hunt zombies. Facing such a powerful and mysterious woman, anyone would want to see her eyes.
They wanted to see her eyes as well.
Lin Qiao gave a faint smile. She was surprised that Lu Tianyi remembered Lu Tianyu so clearly. ‘I thought they hated each other,’ she said to herself silently. ‘Does he care about her because he hates her?’
‘Yeah, I can show you my eyes,’ she thought. ‘But, you better don’t regret.’
Both Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming noticed Lin Qiao’s weird smile, and had a not-so-good feeling. All of a sudden, Lin Qiao made a step forward, then grabbed their hands and brought them into her space.

Boss!
Seeing their two bosses disappear again, the others were startled at first, but then calmed back down. Their boss wanted to see the pretty lady’s eyes, but the lady didn’t seem to want to show her eyes to the others. So, these people guessed that Lin Qiao brought the two of them into her space because she wanted to show her eyes only to them.
But, why wouldn’t she show her eyes to the rest of them? She was pretty, so why didn’t she want the others to see her eyes? Was something wrong with her eyes? Was that the reason why she didn’t want too many people to see them?
Huang Shou picked up a rifle. While checking the bullets, he walked to Xi Dong and asked,
Is that woman your boss? Is she pretty? Are you with her now? But, where are your teammates? Huang Xiao?

Xie Dong took out the small notebook and wrote to respond, ‘They’re dead. I don’t have a team anymore.’

Ah…eh? Is that so?
That really wasn’t good news, so Huang Shou glanced at Xie Dong embarrassedly.
…
After bringing the two into her space, Lin Qiao stood in front of them. She didn’t immediately take off her sunglasses, but turned and walked to the strawberry plants and picked a few strawberries. Then, she walked to the stove and fetched some water with a water scoop from a bucket, and soaked the strawberries in it.
She cleaned the strawberries, then handed them to the two.
Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming watched her picking the strawberries and washing them, not knowing what she was trying to do. The strawberries were mutant, so they didn’t think that Lin Qiao would eat them, neither could they guess that she washed those for them to eat.

What…does this mean? You don’t want us to eat these, do you?
Lu Tianyi looked at Lin Qiao confusedly. The two didn’t even want to touch those strawberries because they were mutated.
Lin Qiao reached out a hand to pull Lu Tianyi’s hand, then thrust the strawberries in his hand. After that, she took one strawberry back, put into her own mouth, and took a bite.
Then, she found out that she actually tasted a sourness. The strawberry wasn’t as flavorless as before.
‘Eh?’
She paused slightly, then chewed the strawberry and swallowed it. After that, she clicked her tongue and confirmed that there was indeed a sour flavor lingering in her mouth.
Watching her take a large bite of the strawberry, Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming were both dumbfounded.
At that point, Lin Qiao looked at them and said,
Eat…not…poisonous…

Hearing her speak so slowly, Lu Tianyi immediately stared at her with a bewildered look and asked,
What happened to your voice? Can’t you even talk normally now?

Lin Qiao’s voice was dry and hoarse, sounding like something produced by damaged vocal cords. It was nothing like Lu Tianyu’s voice.
Lin Qiao took another bite of the strawberry, then said,
Eat…or…not? I’ll…show…you…after…you…eat…

Lu Tianyi watched her finish the whole strawberry and listened to her slow speech.
You…
he said, feeling very strange.
Earlier on, he was sure that Lin Qiao was Lu Tianyu. But now, he had started doubting himself again. He doubted because Lu Tianyu never talked to him so peacefully, not to mention telling him to eat anything. Was she trying to poison him now? But, she ate a strawberry herself, and nothing seemed to happen to her.
