Chapter 217: Save The Little One
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
The young female zombie had stopped crying, crooking her knees and putting her arms around them. She buried her face between her knees, looking very sad.
Lin Qiao felt quite strange. She opened her eyes to look at the little one, finding no other injuries on her body save for the few scratches on her face.
So strange! The zombie didn’t seem to want to hurt the little one. But, why was the little one with her? Why did the zombie react like a treasure of hers was stolen when Lin Qiao took the little one away?
She reacted like an innocent kid!
Besides, Lin Qiao hadn’t detected any evil intention from that young zombie. Even though the little one was stolen from her, she didn’t get mad, but was crying.
Lin Qiao thought of one possibility.
Before, she didn’t think that zombies could have humanity. However, she was forced to believe that after meeting Xie Dong, Junjun and Qiu Lili.
‘The zombie out there might be in the same condition as Qiu Lili used to be,’ she thought.
She sat on the bed silently while thinking, at which moment, the little one opened her eyes. Lin Qiao immediately sensed that, so she turned and looked into the little one’s confused large eyes.
The little one stared at her for a second, then the confusion in her eyes turned into fear. The child widely opened her eyes and flinched as she sat up hurriedly and then moved backward as fast as possible.
Seeing her reaction, Lin Qiao gave a start. But then, she hurriedly pressed a hand on the child’s shoulder, worried that the kid might fall off the bed.
Sensing the child’s panic and helplessness, Lin Qiao understood that the kid didn’t recognize her. That was reasonable though. After all, she was now wearing a hat and a pair of sungla.s.ses, and the scars on her face had disappeared.
Being pressed by her, the little one froze, then began quivering. She still remembered how the car turned upside down, so, she was feeling awfully uncomfortable right now.
Lin Qiao put a hand on her feet, and found that her entire body was tightened and still trembling. The extreme fear she had was sent into Lin Qiao’s hand from her feet.
The little one didn’t cry, but buried her head deeper into her knees. She acted as same as when Lin Qiao saved her the first time. The kid was almost having a mental breakdown.
Lin Qiao didn’t dare to make any other move. After confirming that the kid wouldn’t try getting off the bed, Lin Qiao slowly took her hand away. She wanted to pat the kid’s head, but was worried that the kid might be frightened.
She thought for a moment, then recalled that grey rabbit. So, she stood up instantly and turned to run toward the gra.s.s woods by the strawberry field.
The group of people quickly showered themselves and put their pants back on. However, their upper bodies were still bared, as they had all used their tops as towels, and those s.h.i.+rts were still wet.
After the shower, the group of dirty men now looked clean and refreshed.
Seeing Lin Qiao suddenly run toward the strawberry field, seemingly looking for something, Lu Tianyi and the others walked toward Wu Yueling. After walking to the bedside, they finally confirmed that the kid was indeed the little princess from their base.
Among all three base leaders, only Wu Yuecheng had a daughter. Therefore, Wu Yueling became the little princes of Sea City Base.
“She’s really our little princess, but how is she…” Lu Tianyi carefully looked at Wu Yueling, his eyes filled with puzzles. He then raised his head and glanced at Lin Qiao, finding that the latter was searching for something among gra.s.ses.
“What is she doing?”
Kong Qingming looked at Lin Qiao, then thought for a while and said, “I think she’s looking for the rabbit. Didn’t we see a grey rabbit earlier?”
Lu Tianyi was still confused. He turned to look at Kong Qingming and asked, “Rabbit? Why is she looking for the rabbit?”
Kong Qingming shrugged and said, “How am I supposed to know? I just made a guess.”
Xie Dong walked over. He knew that Lin Qiao was looking for the rabbit because the little princess knew it. He also understood that the little one was certainly unable to recognize Lin Qiao at the moment, as her appearance had changed drastically.
He looked at Wu Yueling, wondering what had frightened the kid, and what had happened to her outside.
Soon, Lin Qiao returned with the grey rabbit, making Lu Tianyi glance at Kong Qingming with surprise.
Kong Qingming had guessed right; Lin Qiao was really looking for the rabbit.
Lin Qiao walked to the bed with the rabbit, finding the group of people standing by the bed, looking at her with curiosity. Xie Dong and Lin Qiao glanced at each other. The two of them understood each other while all the others were utterly confused.
Lin Qiao walked over. This time, she didn’t sit on the bed, but gently put the little rabbit on the bed, then took two steps backward.
The rabbit was able to recognize people! At first, it rolled its body into a fluffy ball on the bed. Then, its nose twitched slightly; after sniffing, it itched its way toward Wu Yueling.
“Eh? Why didn’t it run? Why is it approaching the girl?” Huang Shou asked with a low voice on seeing the rabbit moving toward Wu Yueling.
Lu Tianyi and the others glanced at Lin Qiao; none of them had an answer. Earlier on when they saw the rabbit, it ran into the gra.s.ses and disappeared within a blink, which meant it was still afraid of people. But now, it was getting closer to the little princes. That was strange.
Wasn’t it afraid of the little princess? Was it because the little princess was a kid?
Seeing the little rabbit getting near to Wu Yueling, Lin Qiao sighed with relief.
Meanwhile, the group of people didn’t try approaching. They all understood that by getting closer, they would frighten the kid even more. The child was already in such an intense terror, so they didn’t dare to stimulate her again, or she might actually faint.
The little grey rabbit hopped toward the little one. It couldn’t sense her emotions, but it liked her vibe. So, it gently put its head against the little one’s ankle.
The little one gave a start and trembled again when she felt a fluffy thing touch her ankle. The rabbit rubbed its head slightly against her ankle, making her slightly itchy.
But still, she didn’t dare to move, and kept her body tightened.
Without receiving her response, the little rabbit hopped onto her feet and rested there.
The group of people didn’t know what to say.
Seeing that, Lin Qiao stopped worrying. She went to the strawberry field and picked a few ripe strawberries, was.h.i.+ng them and coming back to the bed.
A while later, the little one slowly calmed down. She was distracted by the thing on her feet, so she was less frightened now. She slowly raised half of her head to look at the thing on her feet with one eye. As a result, she saw a grey furry ball covering her feet.
‘Eh? This fluffy ball looks familiar!’
Suddenly, Wu Yueling forgot how scared she was, and started to observe the fluffy ball on her feet.
