Chapter 87: Qiu Lili Moves
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Lin Qiao was preparing for a fight, but somehow, the situation had turned into this…
She wrote on the paper— ‘Do you know about the locations of the two bases in the South? I want to go there.’
Qiu Lili read the note, then nodded and wrote— ‘Are you heading to the two bases? I know where they are. But, why are you going there?’
She then looked at Lin Qiao’s face and found that the latter’s face was severely damaged, while hair were unbrushed but tied up behind her head. She stared at Lin Qiao’s eyes for a while, then began looking at Lin Qiao’s nose and mouth.
As Lin Qiao started feeling weird under her gaze, she wrote down another few lines. ‘You have beautiful eyes, nose, and lips; the shape of your face is pretty too, but the scars look too bad! You look so ugly this way…’
Lin Qiao was speechless. Qiu Lili wasn’t the only creature who thought she was too ugly…
Qiu Lili stared at her for a while, then wrote on the paper— ‘Are you going to the bases in the South now? Do you want to take a rest here?’
Lin Qiao shook her head after reading the note. She needed to find her family; the sooner, the better.
Seeing her shaking her head, Qiu Lili thought for a moment, then continued writing— ‘Then, please come where I live with me. You have a s.p.a.ce , so can you put all my belongings into your s.p.a.ce and take with us?’
Lin Qiao nodded, as that was an easy thing for her to do.
Seeing her nod, Qiu Lili directly dragged her arm. Lin Qiao felt that her body suddenly became weightless as a gust of wind took her away from where she was. She moved so fast that before she could see the surrounding environment clearly, the two arrived at a new place, stopping before a small western-style building.
Once arriving there, Lin Qiao sensed the vibes of two creatures which were as powerful as herself surrounding the building.
“Ah!” At that moment, Qiu Lili suddenly screamed out loud and startled Lin Qiao so badly that she almost sprung to her feet…
‘d.a.m.n! Why did you scream so suddenly? I wasn’t preparing for that! You might scare me to death!’ She complained in her head.
Along with Qiu Lili’s scream, two figures showed up on top of the building. They were in human shape, but didn’t look like normal human beings anymore.
Those were one male and one female zombie; their legs were bent, backs hunched, hands on both sides of their bodies. Their clothes were all ragged, looking old and dirty. Fortunately, they both had all their limbs.
Their faces were both scary-looking. As same as the first intelligent zombie that Lin Qiao encountered, they had black eyes and awful dark circles under those eyes; their noses were flat, mouths cracked ear to ear, and sharp teeth sticking out of their mouth, glowing with a cold light.
These two zombies seemed to be afraid of Qiu Lili very much; Lin Qiao could sense their fear toward the other. They also seemed to be under Qiu Lili’s control, as they showed up immediately after she called for them. Clearly, they didn’t dare to go against her.
They didn’t dare to get near to Qiu Lili, but stood seven or eight meters away from her, looking at her carefully.
“Roar!” Qiu Lili roared at them. After that, these two zombies moved aside and guarded by the front gate of the building. Then, she dragged Lin Qiao’s sleeve and walked into the building.
Lin Qiao looked around and found that the entire building was very tidy, as if someone would do the cleaning every day. Behind the front gate was a small yard. The concrete floor of the yard was very clean, without any fallen leaves or sands. A tree was standing in the yard.
Lin Qiao saw that a broom was placed under the tree…
Lin Qiao understood that it was normal for Qiu Lili to do the things that only human beings would do, as she was a zombie who had human memories like herself. She was just curious about whether she swept the floor herself or made the two zombies outside do it.
Qiu Lili looked like a little princess in that clean white dress, so Lin Qiao a.s.sumed that she wouldn’t sweep the floor herself, but would make the other zombies do it for her.
While picturing the two zombies sweeping the floor, Lin Qiao wanted to laugh. She couldn’t tell why, but she did want to laugh!
Stepping on the clean concrete floor, Lin Qiao felt slightly more comfortable than before. The post-apocalyptic world was so dirty and disordered that almost every corner seemed to be a mess. She knew that the bases of human survivors might be much cleaner than the rest of the world, but she had never been in any base.
Therefore, ‘messy’ was her first impression of this post-apocalyptic world.
After guiding Lin Qiao into the living room on the first floor, Qiu Lili pointed at the suede upper leather sofa set, then at the delicate crystal tea table, and the exquisite tea sets on it.
Lin Qiao understood that Qiu Lili wanted her to take these. So, she walked over and sent the sofa set and the tea table and everything on it into her s.p.a.ce.
Lin Qiao found the well-organized furniture pieces in the living room quite acceptable, but felt a little speechless when she saw the strange plants in the flower pots.
Qiu Lili was a zombie who attached importance to hygiene, and knew how to enjoy life. All surviving human beings in the town had fled, so without a doubt, she could take whatever she liked from any house.
However, judging by an octopus-like flower, Lin Qiao felt that Qiu Lili had a strange taste.
Under Qiu Lili’s guidance, Lin Qiao put everything in the living room into her s.p.a.ce, including the table, chairs, cabinets, and the octopus-like flower. Then, Qiu Lili took her to the kitchen for all sorts of beautiful tableware and kitchenware.
Qiu Lili had lived in the post-apocalyptic world alone for years. During this time, she had collected many pretty things which were very expensive in the old world.
After finis.h.i.+ng with the kitchen, Qiu Lili took Lin Qiao to the second floor. Without a question, the three rooms on the second floor were soon emptied by Lin Qiao. Next, they went up to the third floor.
Only after Lin Qiao put almost every piece in the building into her s.p.a.ce did Qiu Lili take her back downstairs. Lin Qiao felt that the empty area in her s.p.a.ce was narrowed after she put all Qiu Lili’s belongings in.
After coming out of the building, Qiu Lili pointed at the two zombies which were obediently standing by the gate, and roared at Lin Qiao. She asked her if she could take those two zombies as well.
Lin Qiao didn’t mind. She thought for a moment, then took out the notepad and wrote— ‘Up to you. But, they can’t sit in my car.’
Qiu Lili happily nodded, then took over the notepad from Lin Qiao’s hand and wrote— ‘Alright! I’ll let them sit on top of the car then!’
Lin Qiao felt a little speechless, but agreed.
After that, Qiu Lili roared at the two zombies and dragged Lin Qiao’s arm. Then, Lin Qiao was again taken away by a gust of wind and sent back to her car within a blink.
It seemed that Qiu Lili had the wind power.
After returning Lin Qiao’s car, Qiu Lili directly sat in the front seat. Before sitting down, she tapped the seat to make sure it was clean. After shutting the car door, she saw the zombie crowd which was still blocking the way.
She immediately stuck her head out of the window to scream at the crowd of zombie.
“Ah!”
Lin Qiao was just opening the door of the driver’s seat when she heard Qiu Lili’s scream, which caused her hand to shake.
Bang!
The door closed itself.
Lin Qiao was speechless once again.
