“I’m only here to let you know, as I don’t want to worry about me when you can’t see me,” said Lin Qiao .

Mrs . Lin glanced at her, then sighed and responded, “I am worried about you, because you’re going to somewhere so far away and dangerous . ”
“Relax!” Lin Qiao said, “I’m bringing Lili with me . I believe that we’ll be safe unless we encounter with over three level-seven enemies . ”
Mrs . Lin had no choice but to nod, “Alright then! Just… be careful! Do come back, okay? I don’t want what happened last time to happen again…’
Mrs . Lin didn’t finish her sentence .
“Mom, relax,” Lin Qiao repeated, “I will be careful, for you . ”
Mrs . Lin looked at her, without knowing what else to say .
At that moment, Lin Qiao stood up and said, “I’m going to the roof . ”
Mrs . Lin stood up along with her and walked her to the door, then stood there and watched her leave . Lin Qiao glanced back at her mother, then walked upstairs .
Earlier on, she stayed invisible to avoid Wu Chengyue; but now, as she had made it all clear with him, she had no reason to hide .

She went to the roof and hopped onto the roof of the stair room . Qiu Lili had left a mat on that place . Lin Qiao directly lied on it, gazing at the sky .
After the apocalypse, the sky had been cloudy the whole time . The stars and moon never showed up again . They were still there, just covered by the dust and smoke in the air .
The wind at night was cold . Lin Qiao couldn’t sense coldness like human beings, but still, she sensed a coolness which was perfect for her .
She spent the whole night lying there and came down at dawn, yelling at the group of zombie leaders who had bathed for the whole night .
“Get up, get up! It’s dawn… Your time is up!”
Once she said that, those zombie leaders quickly got out of their buckets . Even the zombie old man who slept through got up by himself, then unhurriedly put on his Tang-Dynasty-styled clothes, which were designed for elderly and middle-aged people .
After putting on their clothes, those zombies leaped off the roof and headed toward their own territories . Lin Qiao didn’t need to give them any further instructions .
She sent the dark mist into those zombies’ bath buckets, then watched the water in those buckets become streams of dark mist and rise into the air .
As those buckets were emptied, Lin Qiao waved her hand and took the mist back . After that, she turned invisible and darted through the roofs, toward West Lake .

After getting out of the zombie wall, she landed on a highway which was miles away from the new base site and filled with abandoned cars . She showed herself there and waved a hand to let out a regular black off-road car .
Next, she took out her sunglasses and put them on while sitting into the driver’s seat . She didn’t ask Qiu Lili to come out, as she knew that the latter wouldn’t like the dust on the way .
So, she had no choice but to drive alone .
She drove along Qian River and slowed down while getting close to Hangzhou Zoo . She parked by a crossing, then got off the car and let Bowwow out of her space .
“Owooo!” Bowwow gave a roar when it came out to find the strange environment, as if it was letting the animals in the zoo know that ‘Bowwow is here’ .
Lin Qiao didn’t let the giant snake out because she hadn’t built a stable relationship with it . At least it wasn’t addicted to the lake water yet, so she couldn’t let it out .
After all, it would definitely run away if she did .
Following Bowwow’s howl, waves of roars could be heard from the woods nearby .
Lin Qiao hadn’t even arrived at the zoo yet . However, judging by those roars, this whole area had clearly been occupied by animals . This place had been a forbidden area in Hangzhou the whole time .

Lin Qiao gave Bowwow a kick and said, “Stay quiet! Do you want them to know that we’re intruding in their territories?”
“Owooo!” Hearing the responses from so many wild beasts, Bowwow immediately got excited . It didn’t understand those animals, but those roars meant that there were preys in this area!
Lin Qiao put the car back into her space, then walked toward the zoo . But before she had walked far, a giant bird flew at her from the sky .
She raised her head to find that it was an enormous red-crowned crane, which looked quite fierce! Its body was white, and the tips of its wings and tail were black . It spread its wings and dove toward Lin Qiao; its wingspan was about five meters, and its claws were strong and long .
Red-crowned cranes were supposed to be elegant, but this one looked terrifying .
Its legs which should be long and slim were now especially strong, and its claws were sparkling with a cold light, even sharper than eagle claws . A few horns had grown out of its red crown and its beak was surrounded by some scales . Its eyes were sharp, containing a strong hostility .
Seeing the fierce and aggressive giant red-crowned crane, Lin Qiao sighed . Things had truly changed after the apocalypse . Even red-crowned cranes had turned into such brutal creatures .
“Caw!” The red-crowned crane opened its beaks wide and dove down while screaming . It was swift, and its giant body brought up a strong gust of wind toward Lin Qiao .
Clearly, Lin Qiao was its target . It didn’t seem to be interested in the zombie dog at all .
Lin Qiao calmly stood there, watching the crane dive down without dodging .
“Roar!” The zombie dog made two steps backward .
The red-crowned crane suddenly flapped its wings and raised its speed to another level . Within a blink, its claws came at Lin Qiao at lightning speed .
The moment before its claw landed on her head, Lin Qiao tilted her head and turned her body . Meanwhile, she swiftly reached out both hand and accurately grasped the crane’s pair of ankles .
She gripped the bird’s legs and easily pulled it downward, violently throwing it at the ground . Then, she conveniently swung her arms aside and sent the bird to the zombie dog, which was already ready .
“Ow!” The zombie dog immediately rushed up and attacked the crane with its claws and teeth .
“Caw!” The giant crane did not know that its prey was actually able to dodge the attack and grip its legs at the same time . It gave a scream before being pressed to the ground and knocked out . It didn’t even realize what was happening .
Before it woke up, the zombie dog pounced on the bird, opened its jaws, and bit the bird’s head before suddenly shaking its head .
Crack! The red-crowned crane’s head was neatly bitten off .
The red blood splashed everywhere while the headless crane was still flapping its wings and twitching its legs to struggle . However, the zombie dog pressed the bird’s body firmly onto the ground .
