Chapter 232: Maybe Abandon
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Junjun looked at her confusedly, then wrote on a notebook—’How do you know that he abandoned us? Maybe he has become a zombie, or died.’
Cheng w.a.n.gxue looked at her, then at Tong Tong. “My feeling is always right,” she said, “If he didn’t abandon you, why were you in that room with Tong Tong alone? If Lu Tianyu didn’t pa.s.s by that area, you two might have still been locked in that building. You told me that the gate downstairs was locked. Do you think it was you or someone else who locked it?” While speaking, she turned back to Junjun.
Junjun frowned slightly, then shook her head and wrote—’I remember that it was locked from the outside, so I couldn’t unlock it. I don’t remember anything else.’
She paused slightly, then continued writing—’Maybe you’re right. I don’t know if I can still recognize him or not, because I don’t remember anything that happened in the past.’
Cheng w.a.n.gxue looked at her in the eyes and said, “It’s alright, Tong Tong has you! You’re his mother, so you’ll protect him, right?”
Junjun nodded while affectionately looking at Tong Tong, who was chasing Lin Xiaolu. After that, Cheng w.a.n.gxue pointed at her eyes and continued, “The dark circles under your eyes are becoming smaller and smaller, and your eye color is turning deeper. Are you upgrading soon?”
Junjun touched her eye sockets, then wrote to respond—’I’m not sure, but I do have a strange feeling.’
“The water that Lu Tianyu left us is truly effective. Even my foot is recovering much quicker than before. We haven’t been taking any medicines at all,” said Cheng w.a.n.gxue, and Junjun smiled at her in response.
Recently, she bathed in the tubful of water that Lin Qiao left for her every single day. Even though the latter told her that she should run the water off after two bathes, she didn’t want to waste it. So, she bathed in it for a few days in a row.
Of course, she would roughly clean herself before getting into the tub.
‘In fact, you can do a foot soak with the lake water. Your foot might recover even quicker that way,’ she thought for a moment and wrote.
Cheng w.a.n.gxue shook her head and said, “No, water is too precious in this world, so how can I soak my foot in it? We’re lucky to be here. If you go to the North or Northeast, you’ll know how precious the water is. The environment is tough over there. The world outside the bases is occupied by sandstorm and smog. People need to wear respirators or masks when getting out.”
Junjun smilingly nodded at her. At that moment, a white figure flashed down from the roof and landed beside them.
“Ahyayaya…” Qiu Lili yelled at them.
“What did she say?” Cheng w.a.n.gxue looked at Qiu Lili with confusion, then turned to Junjun and asked. The latter stood up and wrote—’She’s back.’
“Who’s she?” Cheng w.a.n.gxue asked. But then, she quickly thought of a possibility and asked another question, “Is Lu Tianyu back?”
Junjun and Qiu Lili nodded at her. Soon, they heard the noises created by a car and saw a car driving over. The car was parked in the parking lot, then a woman wearing a hat got out of it.
Seeing her, Qiu Lili flashed to Lin Qiao’s side.
“Ahya? Ah? Ahh…”
‘How’s it going? Have you found the place? When can we move over?’
While walking, Lin Qiao said to her, ‘I…found…a…great…place, We…can…go…anytime, but…’
She abruptly paused, then turned to Qiu Lili and continued, “Before…that, I…have…a…favor…to…ask…you…”
Qiu Lili paused as well, waiting for her to finish her words with a struggling look, then asked, “Yah?”
‘What favor?’
‘There…is…a…zombie…at…your…level…You…may…need…to…deal…with…her…’
Qiu Lili covered her forehead with a hand. As Lin Qiao finished talking, she couldn’t help but burst in yells.
“Ahyayayayay…”
‘When can you talk at normal speed? It hurts to hear you talking!’
Lin Qiao smiled a little embarra.s.sedly and responded, “Soon…”
Qiu Lili looked at her with a sullen pout. At that moment, Junjun and Cheng w.a.n.gxue also seemed to be struggling.
Seriously, listening to her did require great patience!
Lin Qiao walked toward the hotel, and the others followed behind her. She went upstairs, first returning to Qiu Lili and Junjun’s room, and also asking Cheng w.a.n.gxue to inform Lin Feng that they’d have a meeting tomorrow to talk about the serious matters.
Meanwhile, Lin Qiao brought Xie Dong out of her s.p.a.ce. After that, they each went back to their own rooms.
Lin Qiao walked into Junjun’s room, closed the door, then observed Junjun and said to her, “You…upgrade…soon?”
Junjun nodded. Indeed, she was going to upgrade soon.
Lin Qiao nodded, said, “I…get…in…first. After…I…fix…my…voice, I’ll…let…you…go…down…there…”
She meant letting Junjun go down the lake to receive treatment from Viney. During these days, Viney had completely absorbed the energy in the zombie nucleus and turned that energy into its own. Viney also needed to vent that energy by treating Lin Qiao and her friends.
Both Qiu Lili and Junjun understood her. Junjun nodded, then watched Lin Qiao enter her s.p.a.ce from the room.
After entering, Lin Qiao slightly narrowed her eyes to observe the color of the lake water. The color had turned much deeper than before, the dark green water waving in the lake.
As Lin Qiao entered the s.p.a.ce, a thick vine rose from the water. Earlier on, the vine that came out of the lake was as thick as a finger, but this time, it was at the size of an arm.
The vine wagged above the water surface, as if it were summoning her. Lin Qiao understood that Viney was indeed summoning her.
She stood by the lake, took off her hat and sungla.s.ses, and untied the cloth around her shoulder. Then, she took off her vest and trousers, and then her underwear.
After that, she took off her shoes and walked toward the water.
Her skin was glowing white, the waist was soft and slim, her legs were long and straight, and b.r.e.a.s.t.s were round and full… Lu Tianyu did have a nice body, if only her b.r.e.a.s.t.s could be smaller…
Lin Qiao silently wished. After all, the huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s could bring her lots of inconveniences.
She lowered her head to find two rows of dark-purple toothmarks on the middle of her right inner thigh.
‘That snotty man!’ She cursed silently.
Stepping into the water, she caught a cool feeling from her feet. The sensations of her body had come back, so she was now able to feel temperatures too. She found that she liked coolness more, and couldn’t stand hotness.
If she didn’t need to carry any missions, she wouldn’t want to endure any hotness at all. However, if she did need to fulfill a task, her mindset would be different.
As she got into the water, Viney quickly coiled around her and gently dragged her deeper into the lake. As the water reached her chest, more vines wrapped around her.
‘Mama, it’s not gonna hurt this time…It’s gonna be quick!’ She heard Viney’s voice. Lin Qiao nodded inside, then said to Viney, ‘Good. Later on, I’ll go out and send Junjun in. Can you cure her?’
‘Yes, yes, no problem!’ Viney agreed quickly.
‘Good baby!’ Lin Qiao couldn’t help but chuckle in her head. Hearing that, Viney paused suddenly, then began wriggling.
‘Wahhhh, Mama is praising me…So happy, happy…’
Lin Qiao didn’t know how to respond.
