19 The Energy of A Zombie Nucleus (1/2)

Lin Qiao stared at this intelligent zombie vigilantly, while the latter stared right back at her. She had noticed that there were no other zombies around, making this place a little empty... and now she knew why.

The other zombies in this area should either have been cleaned out or scared away by this intelligent zombie.

Low-level zombies were instinctively afraid of high-level zombies. Therefore, once a high-level zombie showed up in an area with limited self-control, low-level zombies would all instinctively avoid it and run as far away as possible.

Moreover, this was an intelligent zombie with an I.Q. comparable to five to ten-year-old children. It already knew how to make a sneak attack, which meant it was quite smart.

Just as Lin Qiao was taking in the details of the surrounding environment, the intelligent zombie in front of her moved suddenly.

It bent its legs and thrust them against the ground to pounce on Lin Qiao at an incredible speed. Within just one-tenth of a second, it had rushed up to Lin Qiao from meters away, its ten shiny, sharp fingernails stabbing at her.

The claws of high-level zombies were incredibly sharp, even harder than diamonds. Lin Qiao knew this because she had a pair of claws just like that of her own.

When the enemy attacked so suddenly and swiftly, Lin Qiao only had time to turn her body and launch a punch. At that moment, her zombie instincts weren't working, and all she had were her old combat skills which had automatically taken over.

Fortunately, her reaction was fast enough as she had been vigilant against the enemy, and her punch landed squarely on the intelligent zombie's side face.

Bang!

The intelligent zombie flew sideways, landing heavily in a walled corner seven or eight meters away and rolling twice on the ground.

After making these rolls, the intelligent zombie immediately bounced back up and faced Lin Qiao. It supported its body with arms, with its legs bent like an animal as it stared fiercely at her.

However, there was also confusion in its fierce eyes.

It was struck dumb by Lin Qiao's punch!

It clearly sensed that Lin Qiao wasn't strong, nor was she at a higher level than itself. Logically speaking, Lin Qiao should have been no match. And yet for some reason, she had not only thwarted its attack, but also landed a punch on its face.

”Wooo!” The intelligent zombie uttered a roar deep from its throat as it pondered over this. Its voice was weird and unpleasant to hear, containing an oppressive warning that sounded like the warning from a higher-positioned being to a lower-positioned one. This warning promised that if the one who had been warned refused to obey, it would be punished.

This kind of roar was only effective amongst zombies. A lower-level zombie would be frightened the moment it heard this roar, and would either surrender or run in panic.

Clearly, this zombie intended to suppress Lin Qiao in this way.

However, Lin Qiao seemed to not hear this roar as she just looked at him quietly.

She flexed and extended her fingers while feeling surprised that she had actually punched this zombie seven or eight meters away. It seemed that besides her sharp claws, she also had great strength!

Fortunately, her reactions were not much slower than those of this intelligent zombie. After that first punch, Lin Qiao was slightly more confident about her fighting abilities.

She looked at this intelligent zombie and suddenly smiled wickedly, letting out a roar of her own.

”Roar!”

Her roar was also deep, but slightly higher-pitched than the roar of the intelligent zombie.

That was clearly provocative!
