Zombie Sister Strategy

‘Isn’t the energy I absorbed enough for you? ‘ Lin Qiao asked.

She absorbed a lot of nuclei every single night! However, it turned out that the energy she absorbed wasn’t enough to feed the baby!

‘Not enough !’ said Viney.

‘How long do I need to stay around him? Don’t tell me that I’ll have to stay with him until you’re born !’ Lin Qiao continued.

That would be horrible!

At the same time, she wrote on the paper to answer Wu Chengyue’s question—’My energy is drained. My body turned invisible to protect itself.’

Viney responded to her, ‘Em, I don’t know… Probably not too long…’

Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say. ‘Probably? You made this happen and you don’t even know how long it’s gonna last?’

Viney felt that Lin Qiao was a little angry, so she immediately hid away without making any other sound in her mind.

Wu Chengyue read Lin Qiao’s note while paying attention to Wu Yueling. Finally, he learned about what was going on.

He looked at the time. It was about time for Ling Ling to go to her room and read. So, he said to the little girl who wouldn’t look at him, “Ling Ling, it’s your reading time. Would you like to go upstairs and read with Daddy?”

Wu Yueling had read the same story over and over again to learn every single word in that story. The pictures in the book and her father’s explanations helped her understand the story.

She liked reading, and she memorized every word that her father taught her. She couldn’t write those words yet, but at least she could read them.

However, the little girl was still mad at her father at the moment. So, she ignored her father and kept holding Lin Qiao’s lap.

Thinking that the little girl was getting a little emotional earlier, Wu Chengyue gave up. The little girl couldn’t be pushed, and could only follow her interests.

Normally, she would be happy to read, but not tonight.

Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then said to Lin Qiao smilingly, “How about I show you your room? Since you can’t leave, maybe you should stay here for a while.”

Where else could she possibly go?

Lin Qiao rolled her eyes, then knocked the tea table with the pen.

Wu Chengyue looked at Ling Ling, who was still lying on Ling Qiao’s lap, and said, “Ling Ling, let’s go upstairs together. Let’s bring your Zombie… Aunty to her room to rest…”

Lin Qiao felt a little speechless when she heard what he said.

She was thirty-six years old, so calling her Aunty was fine. However, she felt weird about the pause that Wu Chengyue made between the word ‘zombie’ and ‘Aunty’.

Wu Yueling got up from Lin Qiao’s lap and held her hand as she headed upstairs. Lin Qiao glanced at the rabbit that was curling in a corner of the couch, then asked the girl, ‘Ling Ling, don’t you want your rabbit?’

Wu Yueling paused briefly, then turned and looked around. With her eyes on the rabbit, she dropped Lin Qiao’s hand and ran back to the couch to pick the rabbit up.

Wu Chengyue walked upstairs while looking at the little girl. Lin Qiao waited until Wu Yueling followed behind her father like a little tail, then headed upstairs as well.

He knew that zombies didn’t need to sleep, but he also knew that Lin Qiao would absorb energy during night time.

Lin Qiao knocked on the door to respond to him, then walked into the room. After that, Wu Chengyue prepared to bring Wu Yueling upstairs to her own room. However, the little girl dodged her father’s hand and ran to the bed in Lin Qiao’s room.

Clearly, she didn’t want to go back to her own room.

Wu Chengyue looked at her helplessly and gave up on his original plan. “Please, take care of her,” he said to Lin Qiao. “Ling Ling, don’t be naughty! Do what Zombie Aunty says, alright?”

Wu Yueling was not going to respond to him.

What Zombie Aunty? She was Zombie Mommy.

The little girl was not going to change that.

Lin Qiao glanced at the girl, then knocked on the door again. Wu Chengyue left the guest room and walked into his study room to continue his work. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao closed the door and sat on the bed, looking at Wu Yueling.

She wanted to communicate with the girl properly, but was afraid that the girl might get emotional again. The little girl was having some strange thoughts which were growing stronger and stronger.

Wu Yueling held the rabbit as she sat on the bed. She looked around, as if she didn’t feel Lin Qiao’s presence.

Lin Qiao moved to her side and thought for a moment, then couldn’t help but put a hand on her head and ask, ‘Ling Ling, do you want a Mommy?’

Wu Yueling immediately turned to her and nodded.

Lin Qiao sighed and continued with, ‘Except me, is there anyone else you want as your Mommy?’

Wu Yueling shook her head and then nodded.

‘No! No one else! I want you.’

Lin Qiao said to her slowly, ‘But, I’m not human. I’m a zombie. I can’t live with you guys for long. We should find you a human Mommy.’

Hearing that, Wu Yueling’s eyes immediately turned red and tearful.

Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say. She really shouldn’t mention it.

Looking at the sobbing little girl, She felt quite helpless. She was really not good at dealing with kids, as they were innocent and stubborn.

Wu Yueling looked at Lin Qiao and asked her with both sadness and confusion, ‘Why can’t you live with us? You don’t bite, and you don’t eat people.’

Lin Qiao said, ‘I don’t do that now, but I can’t guarantee that I won’t do that in the future. What if I became crazy someday? I might hurt you, your father, or someone else.’

Wu Yueling dropped her head and a tear fell out of her eyes. She hurriedly wiped it with the back of her hands, then turned and threw herself onto the bed with her back to Lin Qiao.

‘This looks familiar… ‘ Lin Qiao thought.

…

Back in All Beings Base, people had spent an entire afternoon looking for their Chief, but failed to find her. It was as if she vanished into thin air.

Lin Hao was the most anxious one among all, as he knew that all sorts of things had been happening to Lin Qiao lately. He couldn’t let too many people know about what happened, so he went to talk to Lin Feng about it.

“Haven’t you found her yet?” Seeing Lin Feng come into the office, Lin Hao immediately stood up. The frown on the former’s face gave him the answer.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, “We’ve looked everywhere, but we couldn’t find her. Weren’t you two with her the whole time? Did you notice anything unusual before she disappeared?” He asked Duan Juan and Shen Yujen.

The two nodded while Shen Yujen responded, “I could sense Chief’s vibe from Doctor Lin’s office the whole time. I thought she never left. Besides, she didn’t mention anything that needed to be dealt with. Even if there were an accident, we should have heard some noises at least.”

The others all wore a sullen look on their faces.
