“His power is waking up,” Lin Qiao continued, and the others all looked at her with surprise .

She crossed her arms before her chest as she looked at Bao Xiaoguo while thinking . Was her virus able to deliver such an effect? The same thing had happened to Lin Yu . Before she accidentally bit him, he was just an ordinary soldier .
Seeing that Bao Xiaoguo was sweating, Leng Xuantong made a step forward and put a hand on his forehead . As he expected, Bao Xiaoguo’s skin was hot .
Leng Xuantong had already accepted the fact that Miss Lu had a good relationship with the zombies in this place . However, even though he clearly knew that those zombies wouldn’t hurt him, he still tried to avoid Lin Kui and Pesticide .
Thankfully, those two didn’t mind his small movements .
The group quietly stood around Bao Xiaoguo, waiting for him to wake up . They couldn’t tell how long it would take for the young man to trigger his power . People had different body conditions; some people spent a couple of hours to wake up their superpowers, and some spent a day or two . Some failed, but most people succeeded .
Lin Qiao saw that the energy from the cup of lake water was disappearing quickly inside Bao Xiaoguo’s body . After her virus devoured the original zombie virus, the energy from the lake helped the damaged cells regrow . However, the energy from one cup of lake water wasn’t enough .
“Xie Dong, get him another cup of water,” Lin Qiao abruptly talked .
Xie Dong quickly turned and fetched another cup of water, pouring it into Bao Xiaoguo’s mouth .
With surprise, Leng Xuantong watched Xie Dong give Bao Xiaoguo the water, then turn to Lin Qiao .

Did that water have some kind of effect?
“Get two more cups,” Lin Qiao was aware that a small amount of lake water energy was able to suppress the awakening of Bao Xiaoguo’s power like what was happening just now . However, once the amount of the lake water energy rose, the awakening of his power would be accelerated . Therefore, she told Xie Dong to give Bao Xiaoguo more water .
By the time Bao Xiaoguo woke up, it was already the next morning .
He opened his eyes and found that the light in the living room hadn’t changed much . The only thing that had changed was the time .
He woke up to find himself lying on a couch . Confusedly, he stood up and looked around . No one else was in the living room .
The two by the door heard the noises he made and immediately turned back to look at him .
Seeing the two of them, Bao Xiaoguo paused briefly, then suddenly thought of something . He quickly raised his hands and looked at them . Unexpectedly, he found no change in those hands . Then, he rolled up his sleeves and checked his arms . His skin looked the same as before, without turning pale or bluish . However, there was a circle of bite mark on his arm, and on both sides of the circle were four small holes .
How were those holes left on his arms? Did that woman bite him?
Bao Xiaoguo thought for a moment, then forgot about it, because he looked at the time and found that it was already the next day! Why was he still conscious? Shouldn’t he have become a zombie already?

He raised a hand and touched his face, then opened his mouth and stuttered, “I… I… didn’t… die?”
After that, he saw the woman who bit him walk downstairs .
“Die? I’ve told you that I won’t let you become a zombie . Alright, now, tell me where your sister is . I’ll bring her here,” Lin Qiao said to him .
Bao Xiaoguo paused briefly, then said, “I… I just can’t believe it! Was I dreaming yesterday?”
“I suggest you bite yourself to see if that’ll hurt or not,” Lin Qiao said with a faint smile . She, of course, was only joking . However, Bao Xiaoguo really made a bite on his own arm .
“Ouch! It hurts!” Bao Xiaoguo yelled with surprise, then his face was occupied by confusion and a delightful surprise .
He raised his head and saw a pair of zombie eyes behind Lin Qiao . After a short pause, he swiftly pulled out the pistol from around his waist and said, “Zom-zombie!”
He didn’t care about zombies . What he cared about was that the zombie was alive, and that it was standing right behind that woman . His movement was completely automatic .
Being pointed at by his gun, Xiao-Xiao gave a start and quickly shrank back behind Lin Qiao .

“Oi, you can’t shoot the zombies in my place,” Lin Qiao reached out a hand and smiled at him .
Bao Xiaoguo looked at her confusedly, but still dropped his gun .
“Don’t worry! They won’t hurt you as long as you don’t offend them,” Lin Qiao said to him, then turned and walked out of the building with Xiao-Xiao .
After last night, Xiao-Xiao was already aware that she had no choice now . She didn’t want to accept it, but as a matter of fact, she had already become a zombie . She felt lost . She didn’t know about her current situation, which frightened her and made her feel helpless .
Somehow, she subconsciously felt that Lin Qiao wouldn’t hurt her . She had the sense of security only when staying with the latter .
There were many scary vibes around her, so she was obviously terrified .
“Don’t be afraid! None of them will hurt you . You don’t need to be so careful,” Lin Qiao turned and looked at Xiao-Xiao as she said .
Lin Qiao brought her out of the building, then told her to stand there, “Stay here, don’t move . ”
Xiao-Xiao stood there with confusion, then saw Lin Qiao disappear right before her . But in the next second, she sensed Lin Qiao’s vibe from the other side of the space . She turned and saw a not-so-large lake, and on the other side of the lake were some weird animals .
She saw Lin Qiao catch one of those animals, then flash back to her .
As Lin Qiao caught a mutated roe deer, the others immediately turned to her .
She killed the roe deer neatly and quickly, letting out the blood and skinning it . Her movements were as smooth as that of some experienced hunters . As she skinned the entire roe deer, Lu Tianyi quickly came over, picked up a leg, and went to the side to eat it . Pesticide followed behind him with a struggling face . He looked at the roe deer leg with dislike, then at Lu Tianyi who was eating it . His eyes were filled with puzzles . Clearly, he just couldn’t understand why Lu Tianyi was enjoying the roe deer meat so much .
Lin Qiao cut off a slice of meat, then said to Xiao-Xiao, “Come on, try it . ”
Xiao-Xiao looked at her with deep confusion . She had no memory, but had some general knowledge . At least, she knew that zombies only ate human flesh!
Lin Qiao handed her a slice of animal meat, and seemed to believe that it was really edible for zombies . She hesitated shortly, then reached out to take it over .
Like animals, she first put the meat under her nose to sniff at it . She sensed a strange scent, which was not good, but was acceptable . It was weird though .
Was it really edible? It was raw meat!
Xiao-Xiao didn’t want to eat it . The reason was simple—she didn’t want to eat raw meat .
