28 Zombie Queen has the Biggest Thigh of All 4

Yin Mei thus began her mission of going at least once with every expedition group put together by B City. Although she would be leaving Qin Shuang at home, she gave him homework to work on better controlling his ability. The quicker he could learn how to control it, the quicker he would be able to reach the level of manipulating threads like his past self (or future self?).

Because Yin Mei had been consuming so many energy cores, her physique had improved by quite a bit, though she still wasn't on par with the special forces that were used by B City. Even so, it meant that she could be considered somewhat elite of a member on the expedition forces. Because she was quite strong and was also a beautiful young girl, Yin Mei quickly became famous.

It could be said that Yin Mei had quickly adapted to life in the zombie apocalypse, though she was still grossed out by zombie corpses and had to take a shower almost everyday, even though showers had become expensive in the apocalypse. But because of her newfound zombie destroyer skill, she made enough money to support such a luxury.

It was after a few weeks of living like this that Yin Mei finally found the newly formed group that would become the culprits of the death of the Fire Emperor's little brother. The veterans consisted of five people, four men and one woman.

They clearly appeared like veterans, and were all soldiers from the same regiment. Because she had found the squad that she wanted, Yin Mei stopped jumping around and would instead join this squad everyday, much to the despair of the other squads, who were hoping for this pretty young miss to grace them with her presence. They could only curse the good luck of the squad that had been able to obtain her heart.

The squad in question was rather confused over why Yin Mei would constantly join them, but had no complaints as Yin Mei's skill actually was quite decent. Though she wasn't a genius sharpshooter or anything, her physical abilities were unexpected from a delicate looking girl like her and she was quite agile and flexible. She appeared much more skilled in the use of the sword, though the amount of times she would actually use the sword that she had bought from the military were rather few.

This was only because Yin Mei didn't want to get up close and personal with the zombies, who were still at the level of being rotting and disgusting corpses. Only after they ranked up a few more times would they start resembling human beings more (though it also depended on their evolutionary branch). At that point, normal bullets would also begin to become useless anyways. But until then, Yin Mei would continue using her gun and save her sword for emergencies only.

In the end, although Yin Mei was unused to the zombie world, she had been a high level cultivator for centuries in her previous world. She still remembered the martial arts from then and had been practicing it all this time, so her skill was definitely above average.

Around this time, humans began slowly awakening their abilities and soon everyone in the city knew that people had evolved special powers. Because Yin Mei's powers weren't terribly special at first glance, she immediately revealed it to gain special privileges. Even though everyone had supernatural abilities, right now it only seemed like a select few humans had awakened them, and even then, there were still rankings between good and bad abilities. Yin Mei could make fresh water with her ability, so she was immediately recruited to work at the city's greenhouses for a few hours each day. It was a good thing that it didn't interfere with her missions as part of the expedition squad, and also granted several benefits, the main being direct access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Yin Mei felt like she could finally fully display her prowess as a master chef using the cooking skill she had gained in the white space. So, that very next day after she had been employed at the greenhouse, Yin Mei took the fresh groceries she had gained and used them to create a feast.

The three girls who returned back home were greeted by a dazzling sight on their kitchen table. Because fresh groceries were rare and expensive, the majority of their meals had been frozen food and cup ramen. It had been a while since they had set their sights on a home cooked meal.

Qin Shuang was already eating, stuffing his face to the point that one couldn't help but worry that he would choke, looking like he simply couldn't eat enough. It was so delicious that he had outright started sobbing.

The three girls hurriedly sat down along with Yin Mei, as if afraid there wouldn't be enough.

They each took a bite. They now knew the reason why Qin Shuang was crying. Actually, they probably would cry even if the meal had tasted normal, since it had simply been too long since they had eaten anything home cooked, but this meal tasted like heaven in their mouths. The tears couldn't help but stream down their faces.

"What is this, it's so good. Oh my god," An Yu said sobbing.

"It's like I've gone to heaven in back," Mu Shan added, tears silently falling from her eyes as she slowly relished each and every bite.

"Lu Mei, you could apply to be a personal chef for one of the city's higher ups with a skill like this." Ruo Bi said, and though she looked as elegant as ever, her chopsticks were flying at the speed of light as the food in front of her disappeared like magic.

Yin Mei looked surprised, like she had an epiphany. What a good idea! Ming Wei was so well known as a picky eater that it was especially mentioned in the information. Perhaps she might be able to infiltrate the lab in this way? It would be much better than becoming a lab rat.

But, she put this idea aside for now. First, she still had to deal with the matter of the Fire Emperor's family.

She didn't have to wait for long, as the day she was waiting for quickly arrived. The squad was waiting at the front gate as usual as they counted up today's new members. Yin Mei spotted someone who seemed to match the description of the Fire Emperor's brother. He had flaming red hair and red eyes, looking young and delicate with a pale face and slender body.

Yin Mei felt that this should be Ri En, the younger brother of the Fire Emperor, Ri Lu.

Yin Mei immediately went up to greet him with a friendly smile. "Are you new?" She asked, already knowing the answer.

"Ah, yes... you are?" Ri En looked at the girl who had approached him. Yin Mei's original body, Lu Mei, had an appearance that was even more fragile looking than Ri En's, looking like a fragile and sweet girl that needed to be protected. Of course, anyone who had teamed up with Yin Mei knew that she was definitely stronger and more vicious than her appearance let on. Just seeing her expression while she beat up zombies was enough to send shivers down a person's spine.

Actually, Yin Mei needed to explain, this was just from her trying not to show her disgust, okay? She couldn't understand at all what was so scary about that.

"I'm a regular member of this team. Don't worry, if you have anything you need to ask, just say it." Yin Mei said cheerily. The other people who saw Yin Mei flirting (Yin Mei: ...) with this young boy immediately felt jealous. Such a weak pretty boy could actually gain the favor of this beauty? Why is the world so unfair? Dark thoughts began to surface in their minds when they looked at how happily Yin Mei was talking to Ri En.

Actually, this was just Yin Mei treating Ri En like a younger brother. One must recall, Yin Mei was already over hundreds of years old. There was no way she could have an interest in a boy who was even younger than her in her original life. Wouldn't that just make her a pedophile? She didn't have that sort of special interest.

Ri En had been fairly sensitive to others since a young age, and could naturally tell that Yin Mei didn't have any special interest in him. He could sense that she was just treating him like a little brother. He felt that she probably had an ulterior motive beyond that in approaching him, but he soon decided that she meant him no harm. Ri En may have a weak body, but he had a good head on him and a rather cunning personality. It was just that having a weak body in the apocalypse was really too deadly of a weakness. In the end, because his older brother was overseas and probably dead, while he and his younger sister had no family, he could only join the expedition team and hope for the best. The other option was becoming a lab rat, but Ri En was very unwilling to do this. At least he could manage something with his smarts while outside, but being a lab rat would just be leaving everything up to others.

The mission this time was a simple zombie clearing mission. Supply missions tended to last days or weeks, and Ri En was not willing to be away from his younger sister for that long so he had signed up for a mob killing mission instead. This squad was specifically specialized in zombie killing missions, and Yin Mei had known that was the case so had only joined squads doing zombie killing missions, so had yet to experience a supply mission.

Well, after this, she would retire and try to obtain a post as Ming Wei's personal chef.

The group ventured out of the city, using a military transport vehicle. Missions like these were important so that the refugees outside the city wouldn't get attacked. It would be a disaster if someone turned and as a result, the refugees would end up trying to swarm the city and get inside. Yin Mei recalled that one of the cities Lu Mei and Lei Han had visited in the former timeline had fallen due to that very reason.

But, B City was very good in clearing out zombies, so a problem like that never arose in their case.

The group got off several miles away from where the refugee camp ended, sweeping through the abandoned building and looking for any remnant zombies. Actually this job wasn't too hard, since the missions were so constant that the amount of zombies here was always rather low. But, it was just that today wasn't a good day, and a zombie horde would actually end up forming. The group would sacrifice the slowest and weakest, Ri En, to slow down the zombies before driving all the way back to the city to warn them and send out the special forces.

Of course, now that Yin Mei was here, she wouldn't let such a thing happened. A happy smile graced her face as she planned how she would sacrifice these people to the zombies. All of them weren't useful to her, so she had no intentions of helping out a single one other than Ri En when the time came.

"Oh, there's a group." The leader of the squad said. The problem with a car was that it would attract any nearby zombies, even if the engine was fairly silent. Well, in this case, it was a good thing since they wanted to get rid of the zombies.

"Alright everyone, split up," the leader said. He didn't elaborate. Actually, most of the members that weren't veterans were hear just to act as meat shields, and were mostly useless in combat anyways. Yin Mei was an exception, but people like her were few and far in between.

Yin Mei took Ri En with her into a nearby building, smoothly clearing out any zombies that they encountered with a few shots of her gun. They reached the second floor and looked out from a broken window toward the seven zombies that the rest of the group was taking out one by one.

Yin Mei laughed, her expression weirdly emotionless, but also filled with delight. It was an expression that made one clearly understand that she wasn't normal. "In circumstances like this, it's best to get to high ground, but I'm sure you understand that right?" She said to Ri En. Because of her hunting trips with Qin Shuang, she had gotten used to lecturing while hunting and so naturally started to give Ri En tips.

She handed him one of the guns she had holstered to her side, watching as he weighed it in his hand. "Zombies all evolve differently, but at the current stage, it's easy to see just based on appearances. You can tell the differences right?" Yin Mei asked, as Ri En looked down at the zombies. The zombies, like humans, were also getting stronger, and at an even faster pace than humans at that. The group had only killed off two zombies at this time, with five left.

"The larger zombies will be slower but stronger, while the smaller ones are weak but also fast?" Ri En guessed. Well, this much was obvious at first glance. As the evolution chain of zombies got more and more complicated, it would be harder to guess just by looking. That being said, the lab would constantly release new research data on the different zombie evolutions, so anyone in the know would be able to name the main characteristics of the common zombie types.

Ri En's eyes followed the zombie's movements, and he suddenly pulled the trigger of the gun, hitting it right in the head. Yin Mei was rather surprised. "Wow! You're pretty good. I think you'd make a good sniper." She said, clapping her hands.

On the other hand, Ri En was rubbing his arms, the recoil of the gun slightly too strong for him to handle. He laughed drily as he handed the gun back to Yin Mei, who calmly dispatched another zombie and shot the legs of another, buying enough time for a member of the group to kill it off.

"Hmm, how long has it been now?" Yin Mei suddenly asked. She didn't keep a watch on her, but Ri En did.

"We've been here for about fifteen minutes." He said, wondering why Yin Mei was asking.

"Oh, then it's just about time. It's a good opportunity for you to see something interesting." Yin Mei said, smiling happily.
