Lin Qiao felt really strange, because that zombie actually ignored the humans by her side and only stared at her. Was it because of the connection between zombies? Or, was it vigilant against her?
The researchers in that room took fright, as the zombie dominator had raised his head to look at the surveillance camera. Lin Qiao was surprised as well. That zombie actually looked into the camera. Clearly, he was rather smart!
The zombie dominator abruptly lowered his head and turned to the frozen man in the corner.
What surprised Lin Qiao even more was that she didn’t detect any intention of killing from that zombie’s eyes. The zombie seemed to have gotten used to all this.
‘Eh? What does this mean? Doesn’t he eat humans? ‘ She thought.
“I guess he still won’t do it himself.” Said the researcher beside Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao paused briefly. As she understood that man’s meaning, she immediately sensed those researcher’s thoughts.
‘I see! It turns out that…’
From those people’s thoughts, Lin Qiao learned that that zombie would not hurt humans. They forced him to eat humans, so that he could stay alive after they took a lot of his blood.
Apart from living human beings, they would also give him zombie nuclei to replenish his energy.
The zombie only glanced at man in that room before turning his head away. He looked around the room, then again looked at the camera.
Lin Qiao observed the zombie with surprise. He actually did not eat human beings before. How did he manage to grow to such a high level?
That zombie acted very calmly. Even though Lin Qiao considered him ugly, he was actually normal-looking among zombies. His eyes were deeply sunken and weirdly black; his facial muscles had shrunk, emphasizing his cheek bones.
There was a scar near his left cheek bone.
“Do it. I don’t think he’ll attack this time.” At that moment, a man among those researchers suddenly talked. The others nodded, as if they had foreseen that. Clearly, they were tired of waiting for that zombie to attack that man.
Once before, they locked a man in that room for three days. The zombie never touched that man. At last, that man died of starvation.
However, after that man died, the zombie made a move. He dug out that man’s heart and ate it. He only ate dead bodies, but refused to touch living humans.
Hearing that researcher, the other man picked up the communicator and said, “Fire.”
Three seconds later, a gunshot was heard.
Bang!
Along with the gunshot, the zombie suddenly turned back. Lin Qiao clearly sensed his unhappiness, which was growing stronger. But soon, he restrained his emotion, then turned around and kept staring at the camera.
The people in the research room were waiting for the zombie to eat that dead man’s heart. But to their surprise, he stayed motionless.
One minute had passed… Three minutes, ten minutes… Half an hour later, that zombie still hadn’t made any moves.
“What’s going on? What happened to him today? Why doesn’t he eat?” The people in the research room couldn’t stay calm. Clearly, that had never happened before. Why did that zombie even refuse to eat that dead man today? What happened?
As the zombie didn’t eat the dead man, those researchers didn’t know what to do. If he refused to feed, his blood might lose its activity.
“What’s going on?” The others were confused as well.
“Put in the zombie nuclei and see how he’ll react,” said another man.
Soon, a small part of a wall in that room suddenly sank, and then something rolled out of it. Lin Qiao looked closer and found that those were a few level-five zombie nuclei.
‘Are they feeding him with zombie nuclei now? This zombie is living a pretty good life!’
But still, that zombie dominator stayed motionless.
“It’s so weird! What happened to him today?” Those researchers didn’t know why this was happening. Anyways, they had no other choice but to stay patient and keep waiting.
Only Lin Qiao knew what was going on.
It was because of her! How could that zombie possibly be in the mood of feeding, as he had sensed that a stronger zombie was nearby? He was, of course, on full alert now. That was like an animal instinct. As a level-seven zombie, he was already very smart!
Together with those researchers, Lin Qiao quietly observed that zombie through the screen. They kept watching for two hours, but the zombie made no move at all. The dead man’s body had become cold, and those zombie nuclei were still lying on the ground.
The two things in the world that zombies liked the most actually failed to catch that zombie’s attention. How strange!
“What should we do now? He isn’t eating anything. Are we going to keep him in that room for two or three days like the last time? We need to take his blood in just two days,” said a researcher.
“We don’t have time for that. It’s his choice not to eat. Release the tranquilizer,” said another researcher blandly. Next, a purple stream of gas was suddenly released inside the room.
“Roar!” Once the gas was released, the zombie was agitated. He bared his teeth and gave a roar. However, his roar wasn’t heard from the outside, because that room was not only sealed, but also soundproof. Judging merely by the look on his face, Lin Qiao felt that he was somehow stimulated.
She sensed that zombie’s anger, as if that gas was very repulsive to him. Was he able to tell what that tranquilizer was going to do to him? Or, was the tranquilizer injected into his body before?
Anyhow, the zombie was now frenzied. He started rampaging through the room. His claws become extra sharp, leaving a series of marks on the thick, metal walls. However, he wasn’t able to break those walls.
He hunched his back, and the hair on his head started growing. His human ears disappeared, and black fuzz grew out of his face. Then, his disappeared ears grew back out, but moved upward and became black and fluffy, in a triangular shape.
‘Eh?’
Lin Qiao looked at that zombie who had become a large cat with surprise. Behind his body, a thick, long, black, and fluffy tail was wagging.
‘Oh my, is that a leopard?’
“Roar!” That man-shaped leopard was darting about the room. But, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t free himself from that isolation chamber.
Lin Qiao was curious and calm. Unlike her, the people near her all fixed their eyes on that large leopard in the screen. They knew that the zombie would soon quiet down, but didn’t dare to relax. After all, that was a zombie dominator.
