36 Attack of the Virus (1/2)

Seeing the state that Xie Dong was in, Wu Yueling started feeling confused. She blankly watched him curl up and twitch on the ground, then raised her head to look at Lin Qiao in confusion. Her eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge and understanding.

Lin Qiao first pointed at Xie Dong, then at herself. After that, she flicked her fingernails in the air and made a gesture exclusive to zombies.

Wu Yueling immediately understood Lin Qiao's meaning. She stepped back a little and hid behind the latter, showing only half of her head and a pair of eyes.

'Is that man turning into a zombie? Will he become a man-eating one as well?' With this thought, Wu Yueling was suddenly afraid.

Lin Qiao was both amused and speechless as she looked at Wu Yueling's rabbit eyes.

This child's mind was so hard to understand! A moment ago, she had acted fearlessly by standing before Lin Qiao, but now, she hid behind her with fear.

”Ah!!Ah!!” At this moment, Xie Dong's face began to twist. He couldn't stop screaming hoarsely, and his voice sounded severely pained and miserable. By this time, no one could stop his transformation.

”Ah! K-kill… Kill… Kill… Me… Ah… Ah… Ah!” Somehow, he managed to recover some consciousness and shout a few words while screaming painfully. Those were no more than three words, yet he was unable to squeeze them out of his mouth coherently. However, he eventually finished saying them.

He didn't know if this zombie in front of him could understand him, neither did he know if Wu Yueling had heard him. At this very moment, he just desired a quick death and for the pain to stop.

After he screamed out that short sentence, his expression became even more twisted. His body wasn't curled up and twitching anymore, but suddenly popped straight. After that, his limbs twisted and he began struggling and rolling around on the ground. As he crazily tossed and turned on the ground, his body distorted weirdly into some impossible shapes.

Lin Qiao took a few steps backward and pushed Wu Yueling along with her. All the while, her eyes were fixed on this man who was turning into a zombie.

By this time, Xie Dong's face was filled with protruding veins and his mouth was opened wide. His white teeth were exposed in the air, looking very scary. However, even at this moment, one last bit of emotion still remained in his eyes.

He was begging...

He looked at Lin Qiao beseechingly. By now, he had felt that this zombie wouldn't harm people. Otherwise, it wouldn't have saved him from that level-five zombie leader, and Wu Yueling wouldn't be standing perfectly unharmed next to her.

The last thought he had right now was a wish for this zombie to kill him.

Lin Qiao looked at Xie Dong's wide open eyes which were almost bulging out of his eye sockets. Those eyes had been rolling up bit by bit, and the pupils had been turning gray.

She suddenly popped out her sharp claws and darted out from before Wu Yueling. In a moment, she rushed up to Xie Dong who was already distorted into a weird shape, preparing to insert her claws into his skull.

But right at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Xie Dong's eyes suddenly flashed and then turned entirely gray while he was writhing on the ground. In the next moment, he swiftly bounced and tilted his head, miraculously dodging Lin Qiao's claws. Then, he propped up his body on all fours like a spider and crawled toward the lake at an incredible speed. He quickly arrived at the lake, thrust himself against the ground, and jumped to the lakeside.

Plop! He actually jumped into the lake!

Lin Qiao was dumbfounded, rooted to the spot with her claw continuing to stretch out. She was utterly shocked as she watched the zombie Xie Dong dodge her attack within a blink of an eye and jump into the lake.

Once she realized what had happened, she rushed to the lakeside and stared at the widening circles of ripples on the water surface. However, zombie Xie Dong had disappeared without a trace.
