Zombie Sister Strategy

Chapter 420: The Sweet Potato And Sweetcorn Field

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao walked into the field and was surprised to find that except for all sorts of unknown grasses, only sweet potato and sweetcorn were growing in this land. The sweet potato plants had occupied about three acres, and were incredibly thriving.

The grasses and sweet potato plants were overgrowing while the sweetcorn plants were scattered sparsely among them.

What surprised Lin Qiao was that the sweet potato plants were deeply infected by the zombie virus, while the sweetcorn plants were not. That was the reason why she sensed the sweet scent of the corn. However, that scent was only attractive for human beings, not for her as a zombie.

But still, she was able to recognize that sweet scent.

She stepped on sweet potato leaves and walked toward a sweetcorn plant. She broke off a corn cob, then peeled it and exposed the yellow corns.

Once she did that, the sweet scent grew even stronger. She looked at it, then put it into her mouth and took a bite.

She chewed and swallowed it, feeling like eating plastic. It was tasteless.

She gave a glance to the corn cob which was bitten by her, then threw it away. She wouldn’t eat it if she knew that it tasted awful. And now that she had bitten it, she guessed that the corn cob was already covered in the virus.

‘Eh?’

Lin Qiao suddenly had a question.

Last time, she and Wu Chengyue were entrapped by Viney and had sex. During that process, Wu Chengyue had kissed her for more than just one time, and even stirred in her mouth with his tongue. What a lecher!

She wondered if Wu Chengyue was infected by the virus from her mouth. Or, was he immune to the virus because he was surrounded by Viney’s energy at that moment?

Wu Chengyue made intimate contact with a zombie, but wasn’t harmed at all. On the contrary, the zombie was raped and got pregnant… Well, although it was planned by Viney, Lin Qiao was still unhappy about that. In fact, the more she thought about that, the more upset she felt.

‘Viney was born to bring me troubles!?‘ she thought.

She had a feeling that if she ever saw Wu Chengyue again, she would fall into a deeper trap. Viney seemed to like Wu Yueling very much. Even though she liked Wu Yueling herself as well, she wouldn’t want to be with Wu Chengyue because of the little girl. Unlike her, Viney had accepted Wu Chenyue because of Wu Yueling, so she sold her mother to the little one! Lin Qiao had this bad feeling, so she decided to stay away from Wu Chengyue, far away!

Nevertheless, she had no idea that Wu Chengyue was coming at her.

She got rid of all those thoughts, then began observing those sweet potato leaves. She felt that those leaves were protecting those sweetcorn plants. They absorbed all the virus, so the sweet corn plants could grow like before the apocalypse.

A small part of those sweet potato leaves around the sweetcorn plants weren’t infected either, but those were rare and hard to discover.

Normal people would try to keep away from such a large number of mutated sweet potato plants once they spotted them.

Lin Qiao looked closely at those dark-purple sweet potato leaves which were supposed to be green, thinking that it would cost a great effort to clean them off from this field.

There were about three acres of them. Human beings couldn’t touch these mutated plants, so this field needed to be cleaned by zombies.

Zombies… zombies…

Lin Qiao suddenly felt that her zombie squad was short-handed again!

But fortunately, she had her superpowers that allowed her to directly vanish all those mutated sweet potato leaves.

The sweetcorn cob which was bitten by her and thrown to the ground had entirely turned black. She couldn’t tell if it was because of her bite or because it was thrown onto those mutated sweet potato leaves.

She stood beside that sweetcorn plant and looked at the other sweetcorn plants. Some of them had one or two corncobs each, and some hadn’t had any yet.

She counted all sweetcorn plants and got a number less than a hundred.

However, every sweetcorn plant was surrounded by two or three uninfected sweet potato plants, meaning that about three-hundred virus-free sweet potato plants were growing in this field. Once the mutated sweet potato plants were cleaned out, more healthy sweet potato plants might grow out.

Sweet potato had strong vitality, and was perfectly viable. So, as long as the soil was secured from the zombie virus, this place would become a thriving sweet potato field in just a couple of months.

At that moment, the zombie dog suddenly jumped off the car roof and rushed at Lin Qiao.

“Stop! Don’t step on these plants! If you ruin my sweetcorn and sweet potato, I’ll kick you’re a*s! I’m telling you!” Lin Qiao turned around and yelled at the zombie dog which was darting toward her.

“Awoo…” The zombie dog hurriedly stopped running and paused in a bush of mutated sweet potato leaves.

Those mutated sweet potato plants were tall and flourishing, reaching Lin Qiao’s knees in height. Once the zombie dog came down into the field, its limbs were buried in sweet potato leaves.

Lin Qiao walked over and stood by its side, then pointed at a sweetcorn plant and said, “Look, this tall kind of plant, don’t touch it, not even a little bit. Don’t even approach it… do you understand?”

The zombie dog curiously reached its head forward to sniff at the plant, then made two steps toward it.

Lin Qiao hurriedly shouted at it, “Don’t move! I just told you not to get close to it! Do you want some a*s-kicking? Huh?”

The zombie dog stopped moving, then turned to look at her confusedly.

Lin Qiao walked to it and raised a hand to pat its head. However, she stopped upon seeing the awful wounds on its head. She sighed, then pointed at some mutated sweet potato plants and said, “Go this way, go!”

While speaking, she gently kicked the zombie dog on an unwounded area of its body. This time, the zombie dog seemed to understand her meaning, as it quickly moved toward those mutated sweet potato plants.

The zombie dog made a few steps, then turned back to glance at Lin Qiao. As Lin Qiao didn’t yell at it, it kept moving. Every time it got close to a sweetcorn plant, Lin Qiao would shout at it.

So gradually, the zombie dog learned to avoid all sweetcorn plants.

As Lin Qiao stopped paying attention to it, the zombie dog began running about wildly in the mutated sweet potato field. It leaped toward the small hill in front of the field like a giant rabbit. With one hop, it could cover two or three meters.

Lin Qiao let the dog do whatever it wanted after it had learned to avoid the sweetcorn plants.

She knew what it was looking for, because she had sensed the scent of large rats from that hill.

She was surprised to find that some rats existed in this area.

She thought for a moment, then followed behind the zombie dog.

By the roadside, Xie Dong and Shen Yujen were both staring at the zombie dog which was happily running in the field. They wore a strange expression, as they still couldn’t accept the fact that Lin Qiao kept this dog as a pet. However, judging by the way Lin Qiao communicated with the dog, it was rather obedient.

But of course, it would only follow Lin Qiao’s words. As for other people’s words…

Well, that should be impossible. Who else could make a zombie dog obedient? Xie Dong guessed that no one but Lin Qiao had that ability.
