After Yuan Tianxing said that he would send someone to inform Chen Yuting and his people tomorrow morning, Lin Qiao added, “Lili, Mengmeng, and I will go with the first batch of people to suppress the zombies in that area. After that, I’ll leave the two of them there, and come back with you to bring more people there.”

Next morning, people left the accommodation early. Lin Wenwen stayed in the base while the other members of Lin Family left with the first batch of workers.

Lin Wenwen, Long Qingying, and Yuan Tianxing stayed in the base to hire more people. After recruiting enough people for the second batch, they would head to the new base.

After arriving at the administration building, Lin Feng asked Li Zheng and his people to inform the others.

Lin Qiao had been staring at Lin Yu since they left the accommodation early in the morning. Lin Yu sneakily told Lin Hao about it when all his fine hair started to stand straight up under Lin Qiao’s gaze.

“Why do I feel that Miss. Lu’s eyes which are hiding behind her sunglasses have been fixed on me the whole time?”

Lin Hao glanced at Lin Qiao and saw that she was looking at Lin Yu. So, he turned back to Lin Yu and asked him, “Did you do something to her?”

Lin Yu quickly shook his head and said, “I didn’t do anything! This is the first time I have seen her. I’ve only been hearing about her from you guys before…”

While speaking, he saw Lin Qiao walking toward him. Out of fear, he immediately shut his mouth. Afterward, both he and Lin Hao confusedly watched Lin Qiao walk up to the former.

Lin Qiao walked over and stood in front of Lin Yu. It was the first time that she saw this man. As he had been staying with Li Zheng and his people, she guessed that he was one of them.

She rested one hand on her waist and rubbed her chin with the other. After looking at Lin Yu from head to toe, she abruptly leaned toward him and sniffed at him.

Once she got closer, Lin Yu was frightened so badly that he didn’t even dare to move.

Lin Hao watched Lin Qiao’s moves with curiosity and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Does he have a problem?”

Lin Qiao straightened her body, then looked at Lin Yu and said, “I know you. But I remember that… were you dying two months ago? Why’re you alive again? You didn’t become a zombie, but a superpowered man.”

As she got close to Lin Yu and detected his smell, she recalled where she had seen him before.

Wasn’t he the dying man whom she saved in a warehouse not long after she woke up as a zombie? That was before she rescued Wu Yueling. She also remembered that she had accidentally bitten him.

Wasn’t this guy at his last breath back then? Why was he standing right in front of her pretty energetically right now?

She didn’t remember making him drink the lake water, nor getting him into the lake. Reasonably speaking, the virus should have been spread in his body and turned him into a zombie.

‘What happened instead of that? Damn! What brought him back to life? Did his power wake up when he was dying? Or what else…’

Lin Qiao spent some time thinking while rubbing her chin, then showed a confused look, gazing at Lin Yu. Her fingers just couldn’t stop gently scratching her chin.

Lin Yu was already stunned by what she had said. Why did she know that he was dying, and that he was supposed to turn into a zombie?

Li Zheng had given his teammates strict orders not to tell anyone about that. Therefore, not even Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing knew about what had happened to Lin Yuan Tianxing.

Lin Qiao and Lin Yu were both shocked. At that moment, they couldn’t make any other reaction except staring at each other.

The others were all puzzled upon hearing what Lin Qiao said. Lin Hao didn’t know what had happened to Lin Yu, so he was confused too. But still, he managed to dig out some information from Lin Qiao’s words.

“Eh? Why would Lin Yu turn into a zombie? Have you met him before? Ah, you were heading South from Sea City two months ago. At that time, Lin Yu and his teammates were coming this way as well. I guess you met each other on the way,” he said to Lin Qiao. Afterward, he turned to ask Lin Yu, “Were you bitten by zombies?”

Lin Qiao was still staring at Lin Yu when she responded to Lin Hao, “Yeah, I met him on my way to South.”

Lin Yu’s face was filled with shock and confusion. He didn’t know how to answer Lin Hao’s question.

“I remember that you were bitten by me back then,” she said to Lin Yu with curiosity, “My teeth have the virus on them!”

After saying that, he pointed at Lin Yu’s chest.

Hearing her words, Lin Yu suddenly came back to his senses. The look on his face changed slightly, then he looked at Lin Qiao with surprise, confusion, and a series of complicated feelings.

Lin Qiao was very close to him, and his feelings were very obvious. So, she immediately sensed his thoughts.

At that time, the confusion and helplessness that Lin Yu had when he woke up in that warehouse were replaying in his head.

Lin Qiao nodded and said knowingly, “Ah, I understand! You woke up that night and found that you had survived. You even cut yourself to see if your blood was still red.”

“I… I have been wondering where did this bite mark come from,” Lin Yu started talking, “But, if you ask me why I survived, I believe it must have something to do with this bite mark. Knowing that it was you back then, I’m really relieved!”

Lin Qiao was puzzled at first, then said with disbelief, “What? Can my teeth do that? Are you saying that as long as I bite the people who are bitten by zombies before they die, I can save them from the virus? That is an invalid assumption.”

“But, I didn’t know anything back at that time…” said Lin Yu, “I don’t even know what happened to me. Except for that bite mark, every part of my body is still the same. If you didn’t save me, who did?”

Lin Qiao spent a moment thinking while scratching her chin, then said, “Do you remember what time you woke up?”

“It should be one or two am,” Lin Yu answered that question without hesitation.

Lin Qiao thought for another moment, then responded, “I think I had left at that time as well. I remember bringing you into my space, but I didn’t do anything to you… well, apart from falling upon you and accidentally biting you.”

She combined Lin Yu’s words with her memories and pondered over it, then felt that it could really be her teeth which had saved Lin Yu.?‘No way!?‘ she thought.

After hearing their conversation, the others looked at them dumbfounded.

“You… Miss. Lu, don’t your teeth have the virus on them? Or… can they only deliver the opposite effect to the people who are already infected by the virus?” Lin Hao looked at Lin Qiao and asked with a frown while thinking.

As a former medical school student, he was more sensitive to this kind of a question than the others.

“I don’t think so…” Lin Qiao looked at him and said.

Lin Hao looked at her and said with curiosity, “Maybe… you should give it a try. Go find an animal which was bitten by zombies but is not dead yet and bite it, then see what’ll happen.”

Lin Qiao gazed at him with a weird look while saying, “I think I’ll just eat it.”

Hearing that, Lin Hao didn’t know what to say.
