Holding the naked Shen Yujen, Lin Qiao showed a weird expression while looking at the little girl who was hanging on her leg.
“Daddy will be sad…” She said to the little girl with a smile.
As Lin Qiao suddenly showed up with a woman carried in her arms, Liu Jun, Qiu Lili, and the others looked at her with curiosity. Then, they saw the little girl whose arms were around her leg.
“Roar!”
‘Little girl!’
Among all the zombies who had seen Wu Yueling, Mengmeng was the most excited one. She fleetingly darted out of the woods toward Lin Qiao. The little one immediately hid behind Lin Qiao’s legs and stuck out half a head from behind her, looking at Mengmeng with a pair of sparkling eyes.
“Don’t scare her!” Lin Qiao said to Mengmeng.
“Roar!”
‘I didn’t!’
Seeing Wu Yueling hiding from her, Mengmeng wasn’t angry, and only disagreed with what Lin Qiao said.
Suddenly, the surface of the lake rippled, and a few jade-white vines reached out of the water, toward Lin Qiao.
Viney had woken up. Once she showed up, Mengmeng, who just ran up to Lin Qiao, forgot about Wu Yueling. She quickly turned to glance at Viney in the lake, then turned and ran toward the woods.
“Viney is awake?” Lin Qiao looked at the vines and reached out a hand to catch them.
Viney said to her happily, ‘Mama, Mama, Viney is hungry… Eh? Is this woman my food?” While speaking to Lin Qiao, Viney pointed at Shen Yujen with her other vines.
Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “Be patient! She’s almost dead, with nothing but virus inside her body. You can’t eat her. Wait for a second, I’ll get you some zombie nuclei.”
‘I can bring her back to life then, ‘ said Viney, ‘Mama, you can give me the nuclei. I can just use this human to filter my energy.’
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Bring her down first. I’ll go and get you the nuclei.”
While speaking, she handed Shen Yujen to Viney. As Viney took her over, Lin Qiao bent to scoop up Wu Yueling, then turned and walked toward the second small space.
She remembered that the bald robber had many zombie nuclei in her space.
As Lin Qiao carried the little one there, those zombie leaders in the second small space all drooled at the little human girl. However, they didn’t dare to make any move without Lin Qiao’s permission.
Lin Qiao walked to the entrance, then said to the group of zombies, “Zombie number four, bring me the zombie nuclei in there. You didn’t eat them, did you?”
The group of zombie shook their heads together.
Zombie number four quickly ran to a corner and began searching. Soon, he came out holding a pile of sparkling zombie nuclei. Lin Qiao picked the level-four and five nuclei and left the rest for the zombies. “Alright, these are your snacks,” she said.
The group of zombies didn’t know what ‘snacks’ meant, but did understand that Lin Qiao had given the remaining zombie nuclei to them.
Lin Qiao carried the little one with one hand and the zombie nuclei with the other. Under the witnesses of the group of zombie leaders, she walked to the lake and threw the nuclei into the water.
Following a series of plops, the zombie nuclei fell into the water, being swept away by a few jade white vines.
“Who’s that?” Liu Jun and Qiu Lili walked to her and asked in one voice with curiosity.
Lin Qiao answered their question, “A poor woman. She should be dead, but someone injected zombie blood into her body. She might wake up as a zombie.”
“Why did you help her?” Qiu Lili asked.
“I’m not helping her,” said Lin Qiao, “Her husband truly loves her. If she died, I’d feel sorry for the pair. After all, that man said that he won’t give up on her even if she becomes a zombie. I’d like to find out if that’s true or not.”
“You do like to fulfill people’s wishes,” said Liu Jun.
Lin Qiao spread her hands and said, “No, it’s like lifting a finger to me. Even if I refused to help him, I think that man would figure out a way to change my mind.”
“That man?” Liu Jun and Qiu Lili looked at her with confusion, “That woman’s husband?”
They thought that Lin Qiao was talking about the poor woman’s husband. However, Lin Qiao shook her head.
“No, her father.” She lowered her head to glance at Wu Yueling and said. Hearing that, Liu Jun and Qiu Lili looked at her bewilderedly. Lin Qiao didn’t explain more to them, but continued, “Alright, I’ll bring her out. I can’t tell how much time it will take for that woman to transform into a zombie.”
…
At that moment, the people outside were glancing at each other.
“Yue, I guess in the near future, Ling Ling will forget about her daddy.” Looking at the gray rabbit which was hopping around the room to search for Wu Yueling, Wu Chengyue silently nodded.
“Chief?” Liang Dashu asked curiously, “Why did that weird woman ask you if Ling Ling is your biological daughter?”
Meng Yue was looking at Wu Yueling and waiting for his answer as well. Ever since she met him, Wu Yueling had been with him. He told everyone that the girl was his daughter, so no one ever doubted if he was her biological father.
Wu Chengyue sighed. Not many people were in the room at the moment. Except for Chen Yuting, Liang Dashu, and Moli, who had been silent the whole time, only he himself and the recently disappeared Miss. Lu were here.
He said, “Ling Ling isn’t my biological daughter. She’s the daughter of a very good friend of mine. Not long after she was born, the apocalypse happened. My friend turned into a zombie. To protect the newly born baby, his wife dragged him and jumped down from over the tenth floor.”
The others all fell in silence as they quietly looked at him.
The smile on Wu Chengyue’s face showed a trace of hidden sadness as he continued, “When I found them, the baby was almost dying. I saved her and raised her as my own daughter.”
Lin Qiao showed up at that moment, saying, “No wonder I felt that your blood isn’t the same as hers. It turns out that she isn’t your daughter, but is an adopted child.”
Seeing her show up, Chen Yuting immediately rushed to her and asked, “How is it going? Will Jen… Will she wake up?”
Lin Qiao put the little one on the ground while responding to him, “I don’t know yet. We need to wait to find out.”
The others looked at Wu Chengyue with surprise, then turned to Wu Yueling, who was put on the ground and running toward Wu Chengyue.
“Does… she know?” Meng Yue looked at Wu Chengyue and asked abruptly.
Wu Chengyue nodded and replied, “She does. I didn’t keep it secret from her.”
“Don’t forget to leave with us this afternoon.” Lin Qiao said to Chen Yuting, then turned and walked out.
Liang Dashu kept staring at Lin Qiao’s back. As she walked out of the room and went across the living room before leaving, he finally began asking questions.
“Does she really know how to save that woman?”
“Perhaps!” Wu Chengyue gave an uncertain answer, then said to Wu Yueling, who was on her way to the rabbit, “Ling Ling, we’re leaving.”
