Zombie Sister Strategy

Teaching Ling Ling reading and writing would make her irritable, and her illness would attack easily. Therefore, Wu Chengyue didn’t dare to do that.

Before, he didn’t know what the little girl was interested in. If Lin Qiao didn’t show up, Wu Chengyue might only be able to provide her with enough food and clothes, and keep her safe and healthy.

Not long ago, Wu Yueling was with Lin Qiao in Upper City Base. Back then, the latter taught her how to draw. After that, she slowly grew fond of drawing. Now, she often stayed in Wu Chengyue’s office alone, drawing all sorts of things on a notebook.

However, Lin Qiao wasn’t the one who taught her to write. In fact, it was Lin Xiaolu.

In the last few days in Upper City Base, Wu Yueling actually got along pretty well with Lin Xiaolu. Once, she went to play with Lin Xiaolu when the latter was practicing writing, and saw her writing those few words. Lin Xiaolu couldn’t stop only because Wu Yueling came to play with her, so she smartly convinced Ling Ling to learn to write together with her.

She taught Wu Yueling word by word. When the latter finally wrote one word on her own, she suddenly had this indescribable sense of achievement, and then was obsessed in teaching Wu Yueling how to write.

That was how Wu Yueling learned to write those words.

Wu Yueling didn’t understand why. Before, when Wu Chengyue tried to teach her to write, she felt very impatient. So, every time her father tried, she refused to learn.

But this time, Lin Xiaolu aroused Wu Yueling’s interest with one single sentence.

Back then, Lin Xiaolu said to her, “My Mom gave me this task. Ling Ling, I have to listen to my Mom’s words or she’ll punish me. Ling Ling, do you have a Mom?”

Wu Yueling shook her head at that time. She didn’t have a mother. But later on, she thought of Lin Qiao. Her Dad said that she was Ling Ling’s mother, so the little girl was suddenly intrigued.

She asked Lin Xiaolu how to write ‘Mom’.

The two of them didn’t need to talk to communicate with each other, because Lin Xiaolu was able to read Wu Yueling’s mind.

After knowing that Wu Yueling was interested in the word ‘Mom’, Lin Xiaolu immediately started teaching her to write. She also knew that Wu Yueling was seeing her zombie auntie as her mother, so she found a good entry point.

She didn’t know why Wu Yueling felt that way, but she did know that the little girl now wanted to learn to write for that reason, and that was enough. As long as she wanted to learn, Lin Xiaolu could teach her. When the latter had learned how to write, Lin Xiaolu would have that sense of achievement.

In this way, Lin Xiaolu, who was only seven or eight years old, easily fixed the problem that Wu Chengyue could not solve for a long time.

“Ling Ling, who taught you to write? Can you tell Daddy?” Wu Chengyue was very happy, but he could not act too emotionally in front of his daughter. So, he squatted before her and asked.

Wu Yueling sat straight and jumped off the couch, then stood in front of him and start to making signs with both hands.

Wu Chengyue spent a long while to figure it out, “Are you saying that Xiaolu taught you to write?”

As he expected, Wu Yueling nodded quickly at him.

“Great! Daddy will take you to play with her more, okay?” Wu Chengyue smiled.

Wu Yueling nodded in agreement.

After that, Wu Chengyue looked at her treasured drawing and asked, “So Ling Ling, since you don’t want me to call her female zombie, what do you want me to call her then?”

Wu Yueling sat on the couch and pointed at the bald figure in the drawing. The word ‘Mommy’ was written above that bald figure’s head.

Seeing the word ‘Mommy’, Wu Chengyue really couldn’t describe his feeling.

He quietly stared at the bald figure in the drawing for a while, then raised his head and looked at Wu Yueling as he asked her, “I won’t call her zombie anymore. Will that work?”

At least, he wouldn’t call her ‘female zombie’ again in front of his daughter.

Wu Chengyue nodded. Then, she suddenly thought of something else and reached out a hand to drag Wu Chengyue’s sleeve.

“Eh? What’s wrong?” Wu Chengyue looked at her and noticed the expectant look in her eyes. “Do you want to see her again?”

Wu Yueling nodded immediately.

Wu Chengyue stood up and held her as he sat on the couch while saying, “Em… Actually, I want to see her too, but we have to wait until she comes back. Daddy wants to see if Viney can grow big in her belly!”

Hearing Viney’s name, Wu Yueling’s eyes glowed again. She looked at Wu Chengyue with a slight excitement.

“What exactly is Viney? Do you know?” Wu Chengyue asked with curiosity, “Is she a mutated plant? She actually used Lu Tianyu and me to create herself a physical body. She’s such a smart plant!”

Someone borrowed a sperm from him. Thinking about that, he also realized that that creature would be his child. An indescribable feeling rose from his heart.

A mysterious, smart creature borrowed a sperm from him, then became a baby inside a female zombie’s belly. Half of that baby’s genes were from him, so, that was his child indeed… A female zombie was pregnant with his first child…

The more he thought about that, the stronger that indescribable feeling became.

He didn’t hate that female zombie now. On the contrary, he was pretty interested in her. However, she was traveling all over the country carrying his child!

He wasn’t sure if the fetus had developed or not, but Viney’s affirmative tone of speaking made him believe that it had.

Wu Chengyue shook her head, then found a pencil and started drawing on a piece of paper. She was drawing a smaller person with a round head, round body, and short limbs.

Wu Chengyue spent a short while looking at her drawing, then asked, “Are you saying that she has already become a baby?”

Wu Yueling nodded as she looked at him.

“Alright, she has become a baby,” Wu Chengyue had no choice but to nod with her.

…

In the Upper City District, Yun Meng returned to the hotel with Lin Feng and the others, then left them there and headed to Mount Wu farming land.

Xie Dong, Shen Yujen, and the other three zombies loosened the soil together, then planted the pumpkin seeds and potatoes that Lin Qiao had left.

Liu Jun would come to help during the daytime. After all, she had no work to do in the hotel, but wanted to do something nevertheless.

She used to take care of those vegetables and strawberry plants in Lin Qiao’s space, so she was more familiar with this kind of work than Xie Dong and Shen Yujen.

Every single day, Xie Dong worked in the farmland and rested in the wooden cabin that he built by it. The three zombies followed him; when he rested, they rested too, and when he started working, they always did the same.

The three girls would all return to the hotel to rest at night.
