“It… it hurts?” Qiu Lili hesitated. She was afraid of pain!
After becoming a zombie, she had almost forgotten what pain felt like. However, she was sensitive to pain when she was little. Even touching her skin could bring her pain.
“You can choose to not drink it. You two can talk and have memories, so it’ll be fine if you don’t want to take the drug. That’s what I think at least. If you don’t want to eat meat…” Lin Qiao crossed her arms before her chest and said with a smile.
Yun Meng bared her teeth and said, “I want meat!” I’ve been starving for so long!”
Ever since she became a zombie, everything tasted awful to her. Only human flesh was nice, but she could not eat humans. Therefore, she hadn’t eaten anything except zombie nuclei or the nuclei of mutated plants.
At that time, Liu Jun stood up from the ground as she covered her throat with one hand and said with a dry voice, “So thirsty…”
Lu Tianyi handed her a cup of lake water.
“Take the drug if you want meat. Those roe deers don’t taste too bad,” Lin Qiao said to Yun Meng as she pointed at the other side of the lake.
Liu Jun drank the lake water to moisten her throat. Then, she curiously sniffed at the other side of the lake and said, “There’s no scent.”
“You need to taste it,” said Lin Qiao while waving at Xie Dong who was behind her. The latter walked into the kitchen and brought out a plate of fresh meat slices to Liu Jun.
“Try some and you’ll know,” Lin Qiao said to her.
Liu Jun walked over and picked up a slice of meat with curiosity. She sniffed at the meat and found that it had a strange scent, which was not bad though. Then, she opened her mouth, put the meat into her mouth, and chewed it.
“Oh, it tastes a little sweet… chewy,” Liu Jun’s eyes glowed as she said to the others.
“You guys, come here,” Lin Qiao said to zombie number one, zombie number two, the middle-aged male zombie, the zombie boy, and the weird zombie old man.
Zombie number one and two were under Qiu Lili’s command the whole time. Currently, they were still at level-four. They walked over and took over the cups from Lin Qiao’s hands. Instead of drinking the drug immediately, they looked at Qiu Lili.
“Drink it. She won’t hurt you,” Qiu Lili nodded at them.
Hearing her, they obediently drank up the drug in the cups.
After that, the ice-powered, middle-aged male zombie took the drug, and then the zombie boy did the same. After him were the other two zombies. The zombie old man walked to the table last. He stood before the table and looked at the liquid in the cup.
Lin Qiao’s blood had been highly diluted, but the other zombies could still tell that the vibe from the drug originated from her.
The zombie old man held the cup and looked at it, but didn’t drink it. As zombie one to six had all gotten through the pain, he was still holding the cup and hesitating. Seeing the other zombies roll on the ground after taking the drug, the repulsion which was showing up on the old man’s face grew more and more obvious.
“Are you gonna drink it or not?” Lin Qiao knew that the old man was a clean freak. He asked for a chair before drinking the water, and for a bathroom before taking a bath. Now, he surely wouldn’t want to roll on the ground without being able to control himself.
‘You’re a zombie, but you’re a clean freak. Why do you always have so many requirements? ‘ Lin Qiao complained silently. She figured that the old man might ask her for a bed, or even a clean and sealed room!
As she thought, the old man roared at her before she even finished thinking.
“Roar…” ‘I need a bed… a room…’
‘What a difficult old man!’
“Xie Dong, bring him to house number two and find him a room,” Lin Qiao said to Xie Dong helplessly.
Xie Dong had already gotten used of the old man’s weird habits. He nodded and turned, then headed toward house number two. The old man was immediately relieved. He held the cup happily and followed behind Xie Dong.
He could cope with the pain, but couldn’t accept rolling on the ground! He was old. How could he possibly roll on the ground like a child?
Eh? Old? What did that mean?
Sometimes, the zombie old man would think of some words, but didn’t know what many of them meant.
Yun Meng picked up a cup of the drug and then went to her room. At last, Qiu Lili was still hesitating, because she was too afraid of the pain.
“What? Are you scared of the pain?” Sensing Qiu Lili’s fear, Lin Qiao said to her. “Then, we’ll wait for your decision.”
She didn’t plan to force Qiu Lili.
Except for Qiu Lili and Lin Kui, the other zombies under Lin Qiao’s command had all taken the drug. She didn’t ask Lin Kui if he wanted the drug or not. They were only cooperating with each other, and he didn’t fully trust her yet. Therefore, Lin Qiao didn’t offer him the drug.
Besides, his body condition was special. For those reasons, Lin Qiao felt that she shouldn’t take the risk.
Lin Kui knew how the drug was made. He didn’t feel good about drinking the blood of another zombie.
After offering the drug to the other zombies, Lin Qiao carried out the two zombies that Leng Xuantong brought to her s.p.a.ce.
They were still frozen. Now, she finally had time to wake them up.
She found an ice-powered zombie to melt the ice on them, then asked someone to put them on the ground and pour some lake water into their mouths. The energy in the water slowly woke up the virus inside them, and they soon woke up as well.
“Roar…” The two ordinary zombies trembled with fear under the vibes from the surrounding high-leveled zombies before they could realize what was happening. The female zombie instinctively held the zombie child in her arms and huddled on the ground.
Those two zombies had no intelligence, only zombie instincts. Lin Qiao walked to them with two cups of drugs.
The closer Lin Qiao came, the tighter the female zombie held the zombie child.
“Drink it,” Lin Qiao squatted beside them and ordered with the simplest language.
The female zombie s.h.i.+vered, but didn’t raise her head immediately. A while later, she carefully raised her head as she made sure that Lin Qiao had no intention to attack her and her child.
She confusedly glanced at Lin Qiao, then at the cups in her hand.
Lin Qiao put a cup near her mouth and gently squeezed her chin with the other hand, then poured the drug into her mouth. She didn’t do that violently, so the female zombie wouldn’t be afraid and overreact. She pinched her chin, so that the latter couldn’t draw back.
She swallowed half of the cup of the drug and let the other half gush out of her mouth.
“Roar…” After swallowing the water, the female zombie suddenly pushed the zombie child away and then curled her body as she began twitching.
“Roar?” The zombie child sat by her side in a daze. His eyes were gray, filled with confusion. He didn’t understand what had happened to the female zombie. He just confusedly watched the female zombie roll on the ground.
