Chapter 153: Become Bald
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
The group of people entered the hotel through the lobby and found that the zombies in the building hadn’t been cleared out. The furnis.h.i.+ng in the building was a little messy, but not damaged. Many things remained, albeit covered in a thick layer of dust.
“This hotel is huge. I can’t believe n.o.body has come to collect these useful things. The Sea City Base isn’t far away. Hadn’t those people discovered this place? Hadn’t they searched this area yet?” Du Yuanxing asked. They were located in a town at the border of Hang Zhou, the capital city of Zhe Province. This building might be the tallest hotel building in the entire town.
The hotel was decorated luxuriously. The few crystal chandeliers in the lobby were each worth tens of thousands of yuan, and the furniture pieces which had been scratched broken by zombies were all first-cla.s.s goods originally.
Soon, the group of people wiped out the zombies in the corridor and started looking for a place to settle down temporarily.
…
At the same time, Lin Qiao’s body was changing in a strange way. A stream of dark smoke came out of her head, looking like the black smoke produced by a burning object. It didn’t spread in the water, but went down through her head slowly.
The dark green energy seemed to be afraid of the black smoke, because once it appeared, the dark green energy moved away. In the meantime, the vines which wrapped Lin Qiao’s body quickly drew away.
Soon, the smoke which was released from the top of Lin Qiao’s head covered her entire head. It didn’t stop there, but kept flowing out of her head and slowly moving toward her neck, chest, arm, waist, and the rest of her body. Soon, it wrapped her up entirely.
After the smoke covered Lin Qiao’s entire body, the vines unwrapped her and all drew back to the bottom of the lake.
The black smoke didn’t linger on her skin for long, just less than three minutes. After that, it started going back to her head, exposing her body slowly, starting from her feet.
Her exposed feet and lower legs weren’t the same as before.
Both her original bluish pale skin and newly grown skin had turned glowing white, like a piece of white jade.
Her skin tissue had become entirely different from before, but she hadn’t found out about that. The black smoke kept drawing back to her head, exposing her thighs and upper body.
She still had a large wound in her stomach, which was now covered by a strange membrane. Except for that, her other body parts had all been restored, turned glowing white. Right now, she was looking like a giant piece of jade in the water, and her skin was covered in faint shadows of the rippling water.
Sensing that the black smoke was fading, the vines which had drawn back to the bottom of the lake reached up and wrapped her body once again.
Soon, the black smoke disappeared, exposing Lu Tianyu’s perfectly pretty face, which had been restored completely. All the scars on that face were gone.
However, what had disappeared along with those scars were Lin Qiao’s hair. G.o.d knew how Lin Qiao would react when she woke up and touched her bald head.
This time, the vines didn’t wrap her up entirely, but only coiled on her soft and slim waist, then poked her skin and happily slid over her hairless head.
She didn’t wake up until the next day.
When she opened her eyes again, her pupils had become glowing green. The black parts of her eyes only accentuated the greenness.
However, the greenness in her eyes soon dimmed and faded.
Lin Qiao blinked, then turned to look at her own body and found that it had already changed.
She saw her white and perfectly undamaged skin. The membrane on her stomach was strange, but the rest of her body looked normal…
…Not normal as a zombie, but as a true human being.
A few vines had wrapped her waist to keep her from sinking down or floating up. She moved her hand and touched the membrane on her stomach with it. Her finger felt the membrane, but her stomach felt nothing.
As she pressed, the membrane was hollowed.
‘It seems that it’ll still take a long while for my stomach to be healed fully. I’ve suffered so much pain this time, but only a membrane grew out here. When can my internal organs regrow?’ She wondered.
She suddenly thought of her face. So, she hurriedly raised her hands to touch it. She felt a rough surface, as if the dead skin of the wounds was still on her face.
She rubbed her face and found the edges of the dead skin as she had expected. After that, she immediately started to peel the dead skin off her face.
The dead skin was surprisingly easy to peel. Once she tore it slightly, a large piece of it fell off. As she was enjoying the peeling, she suddenly found that there was no more dead skin on her face.
She touched her face and felt that it was very smooth, without any dead skin. But while touching her face, she had a strong feeling.
‘ Eh ?’
Suddenly, she moved her hand upward and sensed her smooth scalp, feeling stunned right away. She spent a while rubbing her head, wondering if her feeling was wrong.
‘Eh? d.a.m.n! My hair? Where… Where are my hair!’
She didn’t mind having short hair like a man, but why the h.e.l.l did she feel that her scalp was cold? Why on earth was she bald?
‘How am I supposed to face anybody if I have no hair? Even though my face has been fixed, but my hair…’
After complaining in her head and feeling her scalp with her hands a few times, she reluctantly accepted the fact that she was bald.
‘Whatever… I can be bald! I look cool this way! Hah!’ While sighing, she lowered her head to look at the vine wrapping around her waist.
‘Tell me, where did my hair go?’
The vine plant seemed to sense her thoughts, so it reached out a vine to rub her soft b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
‘Eh? Have my b.r.e.a.s.t.s grown out?’ At that time, she finally noticed her full bosoms.
Moreover, those b.r.e.a.s.t.s seemed to be rather large, albeit covered by a thick layer of dead skin. Seeing that dead skin, Lin Qiao immediately forgot about the vines and raised her hands to peel it.
At that point, the vines had quietly unwrapped from around her waist and drawn away.
When Lin Qiao thought of the vines, they were gone already. The water was still filled with a great amount of dark green energy, thicker than before by a few times.
She looked around and touched her head again, then swam toward the water surface with complicated feelings.
