Zombie Sister Strategy Chapter 416 - Another Giant Snake

Lin Qiao squatted by the pit and watched all those snakes darting about. There might not be other animals in this mountain area, but the population of snakes was enormous!

Most of those snakes were poisonous.

A great number of snakes were wriggling out of the pit, but many stayed at the bottom.

Lin Qiao raised a hand and released a stream of black mist from her palm. The black mist grew thicker and larger from her palm, drifting down to the bottom of the pit.

Soon, the mist touched some snakes which all melted or vanished directly. Some snakes only had small parts of their bodies touched by the black mist, and the effect of the mist spread from those parts.

Some snakes had their tails swallowed by the mist. After that, the rest of their bodies disappeared as well, bit by bit. Some snakes had the mist touch the middle of their bodies. As a result, their bodies vanished slowly toward both ends.

Not a single snake survived the black mist.

The snakes in the pit had just quieted down a little from the chaos brought by the stone, but under the effect of the black mist, they were agitated again. Lin Qiao’s black mist slowly covered all the snakes which didn’t manage to get out of the pit, then split up and drilled into those holes.

She sent endless black mist into those holes. As the large ones refused to come out, she wouldn’t stop sending black mist into those holes.

At that moment, a voice was suddenly heard from her head, ‘Mama, Mama… I smelled a delicious energy source… Mama, are you hunting some kind of mutant animal?’

Lin Qiao paused in shock. Viney had become an oosperm, yet she just couldn’t stay quiet and always talked!

Lin Qiao made herself visible, then stood up and said, “You’re in my belly. How can you smell the energy source?”

Viney responded well, ‘Well… I sensed it then… I can feel it anyway…’

“Alright. I’m trying to catch a snake,” said Lin Qiao, “Why didn’t I sense an energy source? I only sensed a nice smell of meat.”

‘Mama, get the snake, get the snake!’ said Viney happily , ‘When you get it, can you put the energy nucleus on your belly?’

Lin Qiao was surprised. Put it on her belly? Shouldn’t she just eat it?

She glanced down at her own belly with a strange look, then asked, “Put on my belly? Can’t I just eat it?”

In fact, she always knew that she was able to absorb energy nuclei by eating them. Earlier, she absorbed some zombie nuclei with her hand because those used to be in zombie brains, and she didn’t want to eat them.

As for the energy nuclei of mutant animals and plants, she had no problem eating them.

‘Mama, you’ll get choked up if you eat it! You’re a zombie… Isn’t it weird for a zombie to get choked up? Haha…’ said Viney.

Lin Qiao didn’t respond.

‘She actually laughed at me. Why is she getting bolder and bolder? Earlier on, she entrapped Wu Chengyue and me, and just now, she teased me!’

Before Lin Qiao replied, Viney stopped laughing and continued, ‘Mama, I’ll be able to absorb more of the energy if you put the nucleus on your belly. If you ate it or absorb the energy first, I’ll only get a small amount of energy. I can’t grow without energy sources… Mama, do you want me to stay in your belly for years?’

Lin Qiao was a little speechless.

‘You are not Nezha ¹!’

“Alright, alright, I get it! You have already become an embryo, so how can you still talk?”

Viney responded, ‘Yeah, I can only talk to Mama, but not for a long time. Alright, I’m tired. Mama, don’t forget to put the nucleus on your belly…’

Lin Qiao suddenly realized that based on what Viney had just said, she needed a certain amount of energy to develop. So, how much energy did she need?

“Wait a minute! How much energy do you need to absorb before you can come out of my body?” she asked hurriedly.

Viney’s voice was heard after quite a while, ‘Em… I’m not sure either. It depends…’

Depends? Lin Qiao was stunned a little. If she didn’t know about this, she might not give Viney any energy. If that were the case, would Viney stay in her belly for three or even five years?

‘Oh my! What the h.e.l.l? I don’t want to bear a child who’s like Nezha!’

Thinking about that, Lin Qiao was not comfortable. Thankfully, Viney had told her about that. If she didn’t, when would Lin Qiao actually give birth to her? Lin Qiao thought that Viney had become like a normal human fetus that would come out in just nine months.

However, she thought for a moment and then understood why. She was a zombie. Even though she now looked almost the same as human beings, she was still a zombie. Her blood had started flowing very slowly in her body, but it was flowing in the opposite direction.

Her blood had been flowing into her heart from her left atrium, then coming out of the right atrium.

She didn’t know how her heart worked. The only thing sure was that she was not the same as the other zombies, because the blood of normal zombies would not flow.

Although her blood had started to flow through her heart, her heart was still not beating.

Her body was in a weird state.

She didn’t even know what she was now. Half-human and half-zombie?

As Lin Qiao was feeling a little confused, a slight buzzing noise was suddenly heard from the pit.

She immediately diverted her attention from Viney and focused on the holes down there.

Before long, her black mist was stirred, and a giant snake swished out.

It was an enormous snake. It wriggled swiftly under the black mist, its dark and s.h.i.+ny scales partially visible.

Hiss… Hiss…

Lin Qiao heard the sound it made, like heavy breathing.

She raised her hand to called back the black mist, then fixed her eyes on the snake. It was a huge king cobra!

Hiss… Hiss… The king cobra was even thicker than Lin Qiao’s waist. It coiled on the bottom of the pit and looked like a tiny pyramid while its banana-leaf-shaped head was raised high.

It glared at Lin Qiao with a pair of beady and fierce eyes. On its coiled body, many of its strong scales had been burnt.

Those scales were corroded by Lin Qiao’s black mist.

The snake had a very strong vibe. It stared at Lin Qiao coldly without showing any sign of escaping or attacking.

Lin Qiao observed the snake. It was much larger than the snake that she had caught the last time.

Lin Qiao’s mist was actually not very harmful to this king cobra. Earlier on, the mist which flowed into those holes touched its scales, but had only been melting them very slowly.

The scales which had been touched by the mist had become like c.o.ke, but not broken or fallen off.
