“Really? The others might not know about it, but I do,” Lin Qiao turned and sat down on a couch, then crossed her arms before her chest while looking at that man.

“You!” Leng Xuantong looked at her with both surprise and doubt. She was reading his mind! A sense of crisis immediately rose from his heart, as he felt that she had seen through him. He was frightened.

“You work in the institute in this base because you need the resources here to find out a way to turn zombies back into human beings. Am I right? Do you think it’s possible? The people who have turned into zombies have died. Dead people can’t come back to life. Don’t you know that?” Lin Qiao said blandly.

She was right. This was the man’s secret. He was trying to develop a medicine to turn zombies back into human beings. He was actually inspired by some films about zombies which he watched back in the old world.

“You… How do you know so clearly?” Leng Xuantong looked at her in shock and couldn’t help but panic.

Everybody would panic when his or her secret was suddenly exposed by someone else, not to mention the fact that this secret of his was even a little antihuman. If the base administrators knew about it, they would definitely stop him or kick him out of the base.

“You don’t need to know how I know. If you don’t want me to tell anyone about it, you need to give me some information,” Lin Qiao stopped smiling, still looking at him.

She had known his secret, so she was able to threaten him with it. She was a complete stranger to him, so he did not understand how she found out about his secret. He was sure that he had never met her before.

However, as she used a negotiating tone, Leng Xuantong sighed with relief.

“What do you want to know?” he asked.

“You only need to tell me how you caught that zombie,” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked.

A beam of light flashed across Leng Xuantong’s eyes. Hearing Lin Qiao’s question, he immediately guessed out something.

‘She’s an outsider. She’s clearly here for the antidote. No, perhaps, her main target isn’t the antidote, but that special zombie from which the antidote is made,?‘ he thought.

“What made you think that I know about that?” Leng Xuantong managed to calm down slightly. He looked at Lin Qiao as he threw a question back.

“Because you know. You don’t want me to tell the others about your secret, do you?” said Lin Qiao.

In fact, she had already known the answer. After she asked that question, Leng Xuantong unwittingly thought of the details about that zombie, and she sensed them directly.

Leng Xuantong looked at her silently.

Lin Qiao stayed silent as well, looking at him without urging him.

After about a minute of silence, Leng Xuantong started talking, “Our Chief caught him. That zombie is fierce, fast, even nimbler than a wild beast. We weren’t able to locate him and track him, so our powerful weapons were useless on him.”

Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then asked, “Are you saying that he was only trying to run away from your base, but didn’t show any intention of attacking you? How did you find him? Also, why doesn’t he eat living human beings?”

According to Leng Xuantong, he and his colleagues weren’t able to locate that zombie. So, Lin Qiao figured that the zombie never tried to attack them; if he did, they would have been able to locate him. Also, earlier today, the zombie showed no interests toward the man back in the sealed chamber. Lin Qiao wondered why that zombie wouldn’t attack human beings.

The emotions of that zombie and the vibe from his blood which she sensed earlier today had both given Lin Qiao a strange feeling.

The zombie was very calm when he walked up. When the man was sent into the room, the zombie didn’t go crazy once he sensed that man’s scent like other zombies would. Instead, he just ignored that man.

“About that, we’re not sure yet. Ever since we caught him, he never attacked living human beings. I heard from the people who were sent to catch him that he didn’t attack them until they made him desperate. Weirdly, none of those people died. The entire team returned. However, they never caught him. I also heard that it was a zombie hunting squad which discovered him. Back then, he was hunting a level-six mutated animal,” Leng Xuantong said.

Those weren’t secrets, so Leng Xuantong easily told them to Lin Qiao.

“As I thought…” Lin Qiao nodded, as if she had guessed some of it.

Did that zombie’s vibe remain pure because he didn’t eat human beings, but only mutated animals? Lin Qiao had only seen two zombies who lived on animals: Qiu Lili and Yun Meng.

That zombie was fierce, but not evil.

No wonder Lin Qiao had a familiar feeling earlier today when she sensed his vibe from the freezing chamber.

“Anyway, that zombie dominator was spotted accidentally. At first, he was targeted because someone wanted his nucleus. Later on, as he was too mysterious and hard to catch, a base leader hunted him personally. After he was caught, we found that his blood is special. As for why he doesn’t eat human beings, we don’t know,” said Leng Xuantong.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Alright, I get it. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about your secret. But, zombies can’t possibly turn back into human beings, so you might as well give up.”

Lin Qiao was surprised by how persistent he was; he never gave up.

Hearing his words, Leng Xuantong paused briefly, then lowered his head.

He was aware that she was right. It was impossible to turn zombies back into humans. There was no scientific evidence for it, and clearly, the current science and technology were far behind that.

However, he didn’t want to give up. He wanted to turn his family back into human beings.

“If you don’t mind, you can bring your two… um, family members, to my base. I will provide them with a place to stay at the very least. Do you understand me?” said Lin Qiao.

That man chose to believe the films that he had watched, and tried everything he could to find out a way to turn his wife and daughter back into human beings. His persistence had impressed Lin Qiao.

She tried to invite him to her own base. After all, he was a technical talent. Her base needed talents like him!

What Lin Qiao said surprised Leng Xuantong. He looked at her with disbelief.

Was that woman offering him a place to do his research aboveboard?
