A couple of minutes later, Lin Qiao quietly walked out. Down in the underground parking, the vehicles which belonged to Yang Jianhua were gone, and only a few fainted soldiers were left there.
To avoid being detected by Yang Jianhua, she had restrained her vibe as much as possible. Therefore, the surrounding ordinary zombies didn’t sense her, but slowly followed the scents of those soldiers to this area.
Lin Qiao left the underground parking and found Yang Jianhua’s building through his scent. After that, she swiftly and nimbly climbed up through the external units of the air conditioner.
Soon, she easily arrived at the top floor and got into the building from a corridor window. She moved inside along the wall; around a corner, she looked around and found a door guarded by four or five soldiers.
She then turned to look at the stairs. As she had thought, that area was guarded as well. She moved to the door as quietly as an invisible ghost, avoiding the few soldiers and standing beside the door.
She looked at the closed door before her face. Even though she was as invisible as a ghost, she couldn’t move through the door like a ghost…
She crossed her arms before her chest, then turned to look at the soldiers by her sides, who were holding flashlights. Then, she put an ear against the door to try and hear the sounds inside.
She only heard the sounds of breathing. There were lots of people in the room, but why was none of them talking?
Her arms remained crossed as he turned again to look at the few soldiers guarding by the door. Abruptly, she raised both hands and slapped the faces of the two soldiers by her sides, then flashing to an empty area.

Eh? Why did you hit me?
The two soldiers who each suffered a slap from Lin Qiao turned to each other and yelled angrily.

You hit me first! When did I hit you?


Damn, did you see me hit you? If you didn’t hit me, who did? You’re the only one in front of me.


Are you an idiot? I’m standing in front of you, but does that mean that I was the one who hit you? You’re standing in front of me, so you’re the one who hit me, didn’t you?

The two soldiers started arguing without knowing what exactly had happened while the others all looked at them with confusion.

Oi, oi, what happened? Why’re you yelling? Be careful, Chief might come out to punish you!
Another soldier who was carrying a rifle said.
The two who were slapped by Lin Qiao pointed at each other and said,
Someone hit me just now. It must be him!


Eh? Wait a moment! Don’t you feel weird?
The third soldier looked at the two with puzzlement in his eyes.

What?


You were slapped at the same time, but neither of you saw each other doing it. I kinda feel that you were hit by someone else…


What do you mean?


Yeah, there’s no one here but us, right? You’re over there, so you can’t possibly hit us without letting us see you doing it, right?


That makes sense too, but…is someone else here with us?


Oi! Shut up! Why do I feel that you’re telling a ghost story? It’s spooky!
said a soldier who was a little scared.
The others were all speechless.
Lin Qiao looked at the scared one and wanted to laugh. It was the post-apocalyptic era; if ghosts existed, all the zombies could be considered as ghosts. In that case, would anyone still be afraid of ghosts?
‘Alright, I’m that ghost. This is hilarious…’ While thinking, she quietly moved behind another soldier, then crooked her finger and knocked the back of his head hard twice.

Ouch!
That soldier shouted out loud and the others immediately turned to look at him.

Why are you yelling?


Some-someone hit my head!
Once he said that, the others pointed their flashlight behind him, but saw nothing.

You…
the others turned back to him. That soldier looked at the others with fear, and couldn’t help but say,
There…isn’t really a ghost…is there?

The others stared at him silently for a few seconds, then one of them asked,
Did you lie to us just now?

That soldier immediately responded with discontentment,
Damn you! Why would I make that up and lie to you? Weren’t you two slapped by someone just now?

He looked at the two who were slapped by Lin Qiao, who nodded simultaneously. They were slapped by someone indeed! However, they both blamed each other.
The group of soldiers fell in silence. All of a sudden, they all shone their flashlights around. After scanning the area for a few times, they found nothing.
Then, they all became nervous, quickly gathering together and leaning against each other with their backs toward the door.
Crack!
Suddenly, the door behind them was opened. The group of soldiers were startled, and immediately turned back to look at the door.
A man with a flashlight was standing behind the door. He shone the flashlight onto the faces of those soldiers while asking confusedly,
What are you doing?


Ca-captain!
The few soldiers opened their mouth and glanced at each other, but none of them said anything more.
What could they say? Should they tell their Captain that a ghost seemed to be in this place? If they did, their Captain might directly throw his flashlight onto their heads!
As the group of soldiers minced their words, the Captain opened the door, walked out with confusion. Those soldiers immediately went back to their positions and straightened their bodies, looking ahead.
The Captain looked at them curiously while walking in the corridor. He looked around, but found nothing abnormal.

What were they doing?
The Captain turned to the soldiers who were guarding the stairs and found that they were confusedly looking at the group of soldiers guarding by the door too.

What happened here?
He shouted at the soldiers by the stairs. Those soldiers shook their heads, then spread their hands. Then, one of them pointed at the ones by the doors and signaled for the Captain to ask them.
The captain turned around and looked at the soldiers by the door confusedly as he asked,
What on earth were you doing just now?

They shook their heads and replied in one voice,
Nothing!

The Captain glanced at them again bewilderedly, then turned and went back into the room before closing the door. He had no idea that earlier on when he opened the door and walked out, an invisible figure had quietly avoided the others and flashed into the room.
After the Captain walked back into the room and closed the door, the group of soldiers looked at each other and looked around, as if searching for something.
The soldiers by the stairs noticed their weird behavior.
What are they doing over there?
One of them asked,
They’ve been acting strangely since earlier. I think they’re looking for something.


I don’t know! But just now, I think I heard one of them shouting like he got hit.


Em, I heard that too.


Weirdos…


Indeed!
