Chapter 6: Lin Yu’s Awakening

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

‘Out! I want to get out of here...’

As a result, a white light flashed across Lin Qiao’s eyes. Before she realized what was happening, she was already back in the dark warehouse.

It was truly a mysterious space! Realizing this, she started to get excited. She actually had a mysterious space! She could hardly believe it.

‘I want to get in!’

She muttered the words silently to herself once again, and as expected, she reappeared in that space.

“Roarrrr!” She screamed with joy, although the sound that came out of her was certainly not pleasant to hear. She immediately shut her mouth and didn’t dare to make another sound as she was shocked by her own voice.

She was starving now, but no food existed in this space, and all she could see were grasses and a lake in here. She couldn’t feed on grasses, could she?

She walked toward the lake and gazed into the clear lake water. When she took a bath earlier in this lake, she had noticed that there were no living fishes in the lake.

She thought for a while, then again said ‘out’ silently. A moment later, she was back in the warehouse once again.

She was starving, but obviously couldn’t eat the man. So, she had no choice but to find some other food source. She was worried that this man would be eaten by the other zombies if she left him here.?‘Should I wake him up?’

However, this man was turning into a zombie, wasn’t he? He would probably die soon, and then his body would stiffen. After that, he would turn into a zombie, stand back up, and lumber around like the others.

Lin Qiao looked at this man. He surely couldn’t survive anyway, and would turn into a zombie soon. She struggled with her conscience for a while, but in the end, she just walked out.

‘Forget it! I should just leave him here and take care of myself first.’?She thought.

She was a zombie now, and didn’t know what to do! She had learned from Lu Tianyu’s memories that certain kinds of people were capable of hunting zombies in this post-apocalyptic world.

Those were the superpowered people.

In the past five years, human beings had survived a huge disaster, and had gotten used to this new lifestyle soon after. They slowly adapted, and eventually, a small number of superpowered people emerged.

The awakening of superpowers was so difficult that only one in ten thousand people could usually awaken a superpower. After five years, a great diversity of superpowers now existed in this new world.

Lu Tianyu’s squad once had over a hundred people, but the number had gradually dwindled during the escape because of three superpowered people. Those three didn’t protect everyone because they believed that they had no obligation to do so. Being superpowered, they very much enjoyed their feeling of superiority, as the ordinary ones depended on them and admired them.

In this apocalyptic world where people died every day, survival was the top priority! Therefore, the weak, ordinary people were simply ants to be trodden under the feet of these superpowered ones.

Later on, some powerful superpowered people and military people who were already strong as ordinary human beings built a few bases. As more and more superpowered people emerged in the bases and grew stronger and stronger, the bases expanded in scale, and the residents started to carry out zombie-hunting missions. At the bases, people traded for food, which was the scarcest supply in this post-apocalyptic world, with zombie heads. Human beings developed, but zombies didn’t. Five years had passed, and these bases run by human beings grew larger and larger. Although the zombies were never eradicated, they were still witless, soul-less, and lacking mobility.

If the situation continued, a great number of these zombies would probably be killed in a couple of decades.

Not long after Lin Qiao left the warehouse, the man lying on the ground moved his eyelids and opened his eyes.

Lin Yu sat up in confusion and found that he was surrounded by darkness, and could see nothing clearly except blurry shades of the evening outside the door.

He sat there for a while in a daze, then slowly stood up and walked outside.

What had happened to him? He remembered that he had locked himself in a warehouse. He felt his muscles becoming stiffer and stiffer, his skin stretching tight, and he knew then that he was turning into a zombie.

Later on, his entire body stiffened, his limbs were too heavy to be lifted, and his eyelids were so heavy that he was unable to keep them open. At last, he couldn’t help but fall asleep. Back then, he realized that he might never be able to wake back up.

When people next saw him, they would see nobody but a conscienceless zombie. Someone could shoot him in the forehead at any time, and then, he would not even exist as a zombie.

‘But... But... What is happening? Have I died and become a ghost? Like a real ghost?’

Lin Yu put his hand into his mouth and bit it.

“Ouch! This hurts!” He had bitten too hard, howled in pain as a result. He couldn’t help but cover this hand with the other and leap around in pain.

‘What happened? Didn’t I die?’?After calming down, Lin Yu looked at his body, stunned at what he saw. He realized that his body wasn’t stiff anymore. He could feel his muscles relax as he walked outside.

He thought of something suddenly and reached a hand down to his waist, then pulled out a military dagger, popped the blade, and cut the back of his hand with it.

“Hmm?”

The blade left a bleeding slash on his skin. He couldn’t see it in the dark night, so he put the wound near his mouth and licked it.

Metallic, salty, and a little sweet... It was the taste of blood!

He was a little confused. He had indeed been infected by the zombie virus, which he remembered clearly. He also remembered that his body had already begun to stiffen before he passed out. So, how come all those feelings were gone now?

He was just like a healthy human being now, and even his blood was fresh.

...

While Lin Yu was examining the shocking changes in his body, Lin Qiao was already far away.

She was starving!

She raised her head and gazed at the starry sky. The stars were still there, but the moon was missing. It seemed that it was either the beginning or the end of the month on the Lunar calendar right now.

Under the starlight, her vision became clearer.

She needed to find some food!

However, she didn’t know what she could eat. She was a zombie now, and what did zombies eat except human beings? It seemed that human food was no longer edible to her already!

It was late, but Lin Qiao was still able to see everything clearly. She gave this some thought, then realized that she had no other choice but to walk around and see what she could find.

Besides, she needed to find her family. She didn’t know if they were still alive, living in some corner of this world.

She looked around for direction. She had learned where she currently was from Lu Tianyu’s memories, and knew that her hometown was located in the South, which had turned into the South Cloud Island Base. Lu Tianyu and her squad were heading to the Huaxia City Great Base, which was in the opposite direction. Therefore, to head South, she would need to turn around and to walk in the opposite way.

‘Where should I go?’

South Island was located in a seaside city in the South, and was more than a thousand kilometers away from Sea City in Eastern China. She didn’t have a map or a car, but If she wanted to go to South Cloud Island, she would need both of these things.

However, she was a zombie now, so where could she find these two things? She thought about this for a moment, then decided to head to Huaxia City first, as it was the nearest city from here. She would have a chance to meet human beings around a human base, and once she met humans, she would be able to figure out a way to get a car and a map.

Night time was filled with zombies strolling slowly through its depths and looking quite scary. Even though Lin Qiao was now a zombie herself, she was still apprehensive at the sight of these zombies swaying back and forth in the night.

‘Just keep looking at them and you’ll get used to them! Just keep looking at them and you’ll get used to them! Just keep looking and you’ll get used to them!’

Hypnotizing herself with these thoughts, she began heading North.
