"Did she leave by herself?" Lin Qiao asked him.
"Yes, but I don't know the reason," Lin Kui shook his head and said with disappointment.
Lin Qiao thought for a while, then looked at him and said, "Is there anyone living around where she lives now?"
Lin Kui nodded and said, "Yes."
"Go and ask," Lin Qiao said.
Soon, Lin Kui took Lin Qiao back to Lin Jing's place. After opening the locked door, they went upstairs from the corridor downstairs.
On the fifth floor, there were more than a dozen single rooms, and only two of them had the smell of living people.
Lin Qiao took Duan Juan and Lin Kui to one of the rooms. He raised his hand and knocked on the door rhythmically, greeting, "Is there anyone inside?"
He knew that there was someone inside, but he still asked if there was anyone inside. Moreover, the knocking was neither light nor heavy, and there was a rhythm to it. It was also to tell the people inside that they didn't mean any harm.
After waiting for a while, they didn't hear any movement inside.
Lin Qiao was not in a hurry. He knocked on the door again and said, "I know there is someone inside. Please open the door. I want to ask you for a favor. "
There was more than one person inside, and there was more than one person.
Seeing that the people inside still refused to come out, Lin Qiao could only change his tone, "If you don't open the door, we will force our way in."
Although Lin Qiao threatened him verbally, he didn't actually break the door open. Instead, he waited quietly for a while.
After more than ten seconds, he heard the sound of someone walking inside.
Soon, the footsteps came behind the door, followed by the sound of a lock being unlocked. The door was opened a crack, and a woman in her thirties appeared behind the crack.
The woman stared at Lin Qiao and Duan Juan vigilantly and asked in a low voice, "What … What do you want?"
"Don't worry, we won't go in. We just want to ask a few questions. " Lin Qiao smiled pleasantly and asked, "Do you know a person called Ling Jing who used to live in that house? Do you know what happened in her house? "
The woman in the crack looked at Lin Qiao inquisitively and then looked at the direction Lin Qiao was pointing. After thinking for a while, she asked Lin Qiao, "Who are you? Why are you asking about her? "
Lin Qiao looked at her. She already knew the answer she wanted without asking. She smiled and said, "Oh, she has a younger brother who was separated from her a few years ago. Now he asked me to find her."
She felt that this woman didn't have any malicious intentions towards Ling Jing, because Ling Jing was quite a good person and got along well with her neighbors.
Therefore, when this woman mentioned Ling Jing's name just now, her mind immediately became vigilant. She had a vague thought that if Lin Qiao was a bad guy, she would cover for Lin Jing.
"Impossible. She said that her brother died during the apocalypse." The woman's eyes widened in disbelief.
Lin Qiao smiled and made up a story. "No, he's not dead. Ling Jing didn't see him die with his own eyes. He was just in a bad state after awakening his ability. In fact, he had been secretly protecting Ling Jing for the past few years. You also know about this, right? There's always a mysterious person protecting Ling Jing. "
"If it's her brother, why didn't he show up? Why is he hiding?" The woman clearly didn't believe Lin Qiao's words, but she thought it was very likely.
"Because he's disfigured." Lin Qiao continued, "He's too ugly to see people now, so he doesn't dare to see his sister."
Lin Kui, who was hiding in a corner and was described as disfigured, "…"
The woman's eyes flickered and looked at Lin Qiao hesitantly. "Is it really her brother? What do you think his name is? "
Lin Qiao said, "Lin Kui."
The woman's eyes lit up. "That's right. But didn't you say that he has been secretly protecting Ling Jing? Why don't you know where he is now? "
Lin Qiao could only continue to make up stories. "Because he was seriously injured and has been recuperating until now. He only thought of looking for her when he knew that China's base was besieged by the zombie tide. He didn't expect that the house had been empty for a long time. "
"She left. She had been working as a maid in someone's house. But half a year ago, the man of the house got drunk and probably made a move on Ling Jing. Then, Ling Jing was ready to quit. Who would have thought that the woman of the house didn't like Ling Jing. After the incident, she insisted that Ling Jing was the one who seduced her man. She brought people to take revenge on her several times. Fortunately, she was smart enough to hide in the house. She didn't give that woman a chance to harm her. " Seeing Lin Qiao patiently explaining, the woman finally sighed and told him about Ling Jing.
In fact, Lin Qiao already knew about these things in her mind.
After Ling Jing was stopped by that woman a few times, she knew that she couldn't survive in this base anymore. Because the man of that family was a metahuman and a low-ranking official. But he was afraid of his wife because the lawsuit of his father-in-law was bigger than his. So in order not to offend his wife's family, the man allowed his wife to bully others.
Therefore, Ling Jing's life was oppressed and it became harder and harder to survive. In the end, she had no choice. In order to survive and leave this place, she took out all her belongings and hired a few metahumans to escort her to the Meng tribe, which was the closest to China's base.
"What happened to her later? Was she harmed by that woman? "Lin Qiao asked her, then slightly tilted her head and glanced at Lin Kui's direction.
"No, she found a chance to run away. At that time, that woman sent people to guard downstairs. She begged us to help her find a few metahumans and then left with her. I heard that they went to the Meng tribe's base. Although the conditions there are a little worse, it is close to China's base. "The woman finally said.
Because Ling Jing could only afford to go to the Meng tribe, she couldn't afford to pay if it was too far away. Even if the conditions at the Meng tribe were bad, at least she didn't have any enemies there. It might be dangerous for her to be unfamiliar with the place. But it was still better than staying in China's base and being killed by that woman at any time.
"Went to the Meng tribe? Okay, we know. Thank you, this is a thank you gift for you. Please keep it carefully. " After Lin Qiao got the information she wanted, she took out a few Level 3 and 2 Level 4 zombie cores and handed them to her.
The lowest level she had were Level 3 zombie cores. She had Level 4 and Level 5 ones, but she didn't dare to give too many. She was afraid that it would bring trouble to this ordinary woman.
Lin Qiao could sense that there were four people in the room including the woman in front of her, but they were all ordinary people without metahumans.
When the woman saw that Lin Qiao wanted to give her something, she awkwardly said, "No, no, no. It's just a few words. You can't give such a precious thing."
Lin Qiao said, "Don't talk, just take it. Quickly, before others see it. That's it, we're leaving. "
As she said that, she directly put the zombie cores in her hand into the woman's hand, then took a step back, turned around, and left with Duan Juan.
