Chapter 400: Take A Building

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao walked into the building and took a glance at the furniture pieces inside. This place should have had no visitors since the apocalypse, as the disordered, overturned furniture pieces were all covered in a thick layer of dust.

Lin Qiao walked closer and found that all those furniture pieces were new, but dirty. As she waved a hand, an ink-black stream of mist was released from her palm, sweeping toward the furniture and decorations in the living room.

Once the mist was released, Yuan Tianxing had a feeling that he could not approach it. He stood at the door and asked, “You actually have that power too? Are you double-powered?”

Lin Qiao glanced back at him and responded, “Sort of.”

Afterward, Yuan Tianxing saw that nothing was left in the places touched by the black mist. The tables, chairs, couches, and all the other things made from different materials directly vanished.

Even the hard alloy pieces had melted and vanished.

The black mist melted anything it touched.

Yuan Tianxing watched the mist take a circle in the living room and then return into Lin Qiao’s palm with fright. After that, the entire living room was emptied with not a thing left in it. Lin Qiao actually tidied the living room up in such a simple and violent way.

After cleaning the living room, she walked up to the second floor. There were three rooms on the second floor: two bedrooms and one study room. At the end of the corridor was a bathroom. Lin Qiao made everything in those rooms disappear, then went up to the third floor.

There were only two room on the third floor, one larger and the other smaller. A roomy balcony was located on the other side of that floor, and by the balcony was an iron ladder leading to the roof.

Soon, Lin Qiao leaped onto the roof.

After taking a look at the roof deck, she jumped back down.

After roughly cleaning the last two rooms, she walked downstairs.

“It’s ready. You only need to get the part above the foundation out of the earth for me,” said Lin Qiao to Yuan Tianxing, who was leaning against the car and smoking.

Yuan Tianxing nodded, then reached out a hand toward that building and slightly pressed down. Then, he slowly raised his hand as if he was holding something.

Along with his moves, the earth began quaking, and the building that Lin Qiao had picked started shaking. Clouds of dust were shaken off the walls, and next, the entire building slowly sank a little, then stopped moving.

“Done!” Yuan Tianxing dropped his hand and said.

Lin Qiao nodded and walked in, holding the door and saying ‘in’ in her head. In the next second, the building disappeared from their eyes, leaving an empty area behind.

Lin Qiao turned and got into the car as she said, “Let’s go.”

Having finished with that, the three of them returned to the Victoria Hotel, where the others were having dinner. Lin Qiaos split up with Yuan Tianxing and went directly up to the fifth floor.

She walked into Qiu Lili’s room and saw the latter gazing out of the window. Sensing her come in, the latter turned around.

“Things here are mainly stable,” said Lin Qiao, “This couple of days, I’ll search through the area around the zombie wall to see if I can find more human food.”

The food that could be stored for a long time should still be found from some hotels, restaurants, and chain markets, especially stuff like rice, salt, and some canned food.

“Why do you always help them collect food and supplies?” said Qiu Lili with discontentment, “Why don’t you just let them do it themselves? Besides, how long are you gonna protect them for?”

Lin Qiao sighed and said, “They don’t have enough people now. It’ll take ages for them to build only a fence wall. How can they possibly have time to collect food? Even if they tried to do it, they wouldn’t go too far.”

“You should try and find military bases. Army provisions can be preserved for a longer time. You’ll get a greater harvest from a military base than from other places,” said Liu Jun, who was sitting on the couch.

Lin Qiao nodded and replied, “I know that an army force used to station nearby, and I think there is an air force station in Jia Xing. We can go over there and search when we have time.”

Hearing about going out, Qiu Lili nodded and said happily, “Great! We can first search through the entire Upper City District and then start looking for military bases.”

Lin Qiao thought for a moment and responded, “That might take a long time… about a month. Right now, no average level human being or zombie can enter this area. We are able to sense this area while we’re in the Upper City District. But once we leave, the defense of this place would decrease a lot.”

“What are you worrying about?” said Qiu Lili with confusion, “Three level-six human beings are here. They won’t encounter any troubles, will they?”

Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “Sea City Base is the nearest human base. Apart from Wu Chengyue and Zou Shihui, the robber who showed up in that base earlier was also at level-seven. And, he has run out.”

“Are you worrying that the robber might come this way?” said Qiu Lili while thinking.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “I’ve met that robber once. Before we entered Sea City Base, he was already coming after Lin Feng, Yuan Tianxing, and the others. Even though his partner, Yang Chao has fallen, I think he’ll keep having his eyes on us.”

Hearing that, Qiu Lili wore a worried look as she said, “Ugh, should we find him first? Otherwise, we won’t be able to go out to collect supplies, will we?”

“You’re right!” said Lin Qiao, “So, before leaving Upper City District, we need to find out that robber’s whereabouts.”

“In this case, your plan of going South will be postponed to winter, right?” said Liu Jun.

Lin Qiao glanced at her as she nodded and said, “At least I need to wait for the situation here to stabilise. There is a hidden danger from that level-seven robber now, so I can’t just leave like this.”

Liu Jun nodded in agreement, “I think Lin Feng and the others are still too weak.”

Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “In fact, they aren’t weak. After all, level-six superpowered human beings aren’t everywhere. The problem is that they might need to face a level-seven robber. That doesn’t happen a lot. They have no way of solving this problem, but I can sense the robber’s presence. Lili, did you discover something earlier?”

Qiu Lili responded with surprise, “Eh? You knew?”

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “I saw you staring in that direction when I came in. In fact, I sensed it too.”

Hearing her, Qiu Lili pouted and looked at Lin Qiao unhappily, “Your sensations are even sharper than mine. I’m at a higher level than you, but had already found it while I only started to notice it?”

Lin Qiao laughed and said, “Why are you upset about that? You should know that we’re different.”
