Lin Qiao saw Qiu Lili's eyes. Before, she was only able to see the red energy in her eyes, but now, she could see the color of her eyes as well. She found that the latter had beautiful eyes that were red in color, with black pupils.
She raised her eyes to look around and saw the familiar green plants and brown earth. After that, she turned to the lake and found it to be very dark. The water in that lake was dark green.
Then, she raised her head to look at the sky. The blueness of the sky was long-lost to her. In her eyes, the morning sunlight had colors too.
"Roar!"
'Did you trigger a superpower?' At that moment, Qiu Lili asked abruptly. Hearing that, Lin Qiao turned back to her. Junjun was looking at her curiously as well.
'Isn't that space my superpower?' Lin Qiao thought. She opened her mouth as she wanted to give a roar to answer Qiu Lili's question. However, once she did that, she got a strange feeling from her tongue and throat.
She raised her hand to pinch her throat with confusion, then her eyes showed an uncertain look.
Seeing her touch her throat suddenly, Qiu Lili and Junjun both felt a little strange about it. Then, they noticed her look, and were confused.
Lin Qiao's throat squirmed slightly. After that, she opened her mouth and looked at Junjun and Qiu Lili while trying to say, "Ah… eh… I… I…"
After saying 'I' twice, she paused, staring at Qiu Lili and Junjun with disbelief, her eyes popped open.
At that moment, Qiu Lili and Junjun were staring back at her with shock, as if she were a ghost.
They both doubted their ears…
The disbelief on Lin Qiao's face slowly turned into surprise. Next, she raised a hand and took off her sunglasses abruptly.
With the hand which was holding the sunglasses, she pointed at Qiu Lili and said, "You…"
Then, she turned toward Junjun and continued, "Her…"
After that, she looked at Tongtong, who was eying her with curiosity, and said, "Tong… tong…
Her voice was little dry and shrill, but undeniably, she had indeed said 'you', 'I', 'her', and 'Tongtong'.
Qiu Lili widened her eyes as well. She turned to look at Junjun in shock, and found that the latter was doing exactly the same. With the look in their eyes, they told each other that they weren't in a dream.
Lin Qiao was actually able to talk! Even though she had become very much like a human being, Junjun and Qiu Lili hadn't forgotten about that fact that she was a zombie. But just now, this zombie had talked!
"What… superpower?" At that moment, Lin Qiao asked slowly.
Qiu Lili opened her mouth to try and move her throat and tongue. However, what she uttered was still a roar.
'Your zombie superpower…' she said.
After finding out that her own voice hadn't changed at all, Qiu Lili immediately pulled a long face.
Hearing Qiu Lili's words, Lin Qiao thought that if she had triggered a superpower, she should have energy inside her body. Even though she didn't know why Qiu Lili suddenly asked that question, she sensed something after hearing it.
She closed her eyes to feel if she had energy inside her body. Before today, she was able to sense others' energies, but had never sensed her own.
Once she closed her eyes, she found that she could still see everything before her eyes, albeit in black and white. It was just like how she saw the outside world when closing her eyes in her space.
The things she was seeing now were colorless. After her eyes were closed, she could only see the shapes of things, in the colors of black, grey, and white.
But of course, she could see the colors of energies.
Qiu Lili didn't only have red eyes, but also had two energies inside her body, one red and one blue. She then turned to Junjun and found no energy inside her body, only the dark virus.
Tongtong's little body contained a faint glowing green energy. Lin Qiao knew that it was the energy of the lake water.
At that point, a strange wave of energy from her brain caught her attention. She forced herself to block the things before her eyes, then sensed a warmth from her head.
It made her feel warm and comfortable.
She wanted to get close to that warmth and figure out what it was. Once she had this idea, that warmth entered her mind and slowly spread in her entire body, as if it had been waiting to be summoned.
As Lin Qiao sank into her mind to feel that strange warm energy, her body began changing.
Qiu Lili and Junjun, who were standing by her sides, both felt thumps of their hearts. The instinctive sense of danger possessed by zombies made them automatically draw back.
As they moved meters away from Lin Qiao, a wave of black mist suddenly rose from her body. The black mist rolled across her body surface, but didn't spread as Junjun and Qiu Lili had imagined.
"Ah!" Qiu Lili suddenly roared at Lin Qiao.
Hearing her, Lin Qiao opened her eyes immediately. Though the black mist, Qiu Lili saw a pair of sparkling green eyes, which soon disappeared.
In fact, those eyes didn't disappear, but turned into a glowing pair of black eyes, blending into the black mist.
Lin Qiao saw the black mist before her eyes once she opened them. She raised her hands to wave in the mist. However, no matter how hard she waved her hands, she couldn't dissipate it.
"Roar! Ah!"
'Take your mist back now! It's poisonous!'
Qiu Lili uttered another roar. While doing that, she dragged Junjun and moved further away from Lin Qiao.
Junjun was curiously looking at the strange black mist which came out of Lin Qiao's body. Hearing Qiu Lili say that it was poisonous, she hurriedly carried Tongtong and took a few steps backward.
Lin Qiao was trying to gather all the black mist on her palm when she heard Qiu Lili's roar.
"Poisonous?" She asked with her dry voice. She thought that she could maybe learn to control this black mist like how she learned to use her space. So, she looked at the mist and said 'in' in her head.
Then, she raised her hands, picturing the black mist gathering into her palms.
As she had expected, she saw the rolling black mist gather toward her palms, soon drilling in and disappearing.
Then, she looked at Qiu Lili and Junjun, finding that the two were keeping vigilance against her.
"Are you… afraid?" She asked.
'You're both zombies, but are you still afraid of the poisonous mist?' She didn't understand. Junjun remained silent and just nodded, then looked at Tongtong who was in her arms.
Lin Qiao figured out her meaning on seeing Tongtong. Junjun was afraid that the poisonous mist might hurt him.
Only after Lin Qiao made the black mist disappear did Qiu Lili slowly come closer.
"Roar! Ahhh!"
'Your mist made me feel danger,' she said.
Lin Qiao looked at her with surprise. Qiu Lili was a zombie queen, so why would she be afraid of the poisonous mist?
Lin Qiao saw Qiu Lili's eyes. Before, she was only able to see the red energy in her eyes, but now, she could see the color of her eyes as well. She found that the latter had beautiful eyes that were red in color, with black pupils.
