Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Wu Yueling’s attention was attracted by the grey ball of fur. She slowly raised her other eyes to look at the furry ball and soon found that it was moving, and had a pair of long ears.
‘It looks like a rabbit. Where is this rabbit from? It’s familiar…’ she thought. She wanted to touch the rabbit, but she sharply sensed that some people were gazing at her. So, she didn’t dare to move, quickly burying her face back between her knees.
Lin Qiao glanced at the group of people and tilted her head slightly to signal for them to step back. Only Kong Qingming saw her move while the others were all looking at Wu Yueling, so he stared at her with a questioning look.
“Back…” Lin Qiao said one word with a low voice. Kong Qingming looked at her, then turned to Lu Tianyi and the others, and back to her again.
Lin Qiao nodded at him, after which, Kong Qingming touched Lu Tianyi’s uncovered arm. The other turned to look at him, his eyes carrying questions.
Kong Qingming glanced at the little one, then said, “Step back and give her some s.p.a.ce.” While speaking, he moved back for two meters.
Lu Tianyi glanced at the little one, then turned and left, dragging the others away as well. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao didn’t move, just crossing her arms and silently feeling the changes in the little one’s emotions.
The little one sensed that some people around her had left. So, she quietly raised her head to look around and found a weird-looking person wearing a hat and sungla.s.ses.
That person was at a distance away, so she wasn’t nervous, even though she did care about that person’s presence.
At that moment, the rabbit moved on her feet. It raised its head to stare at her. Seeing it, Wu Yueling was immediately cheered up. She happily unwrapped her knees and slowly picked the rabbit up.
‘It’s really that rabbit!’
After confirming that the rabbit was really her friend, Wu Yueling suddenly relaxed, then raised her head to look around. The gra.s.sland and the lake were both the same as before. Some furniture pieces were new, including beds, couches and tables. Where did all those come from?
‘Where is that ugly zombie sister?’ She wondered.
After recognizing the s.p.a.ce, she instantly turned to search for Lin Qiao. She ignored Lin Qiao who was wearing a hat and sungla.s.ses, but tried to look for the zombie with scarred face and unbrushed hair.
‘Eh? Where is the zombie sister?’
She held the little rabbit and looked around. But instead of the zombie sister, she found a group of strange men who were baring their upper bodies.
Lin Qiao understood that the kid was looking for her. So, she slightly raised a hand, waved at the child, and said, “Ling…”
Wu Yueling turned to look at her confusedly. Lin Qiao was holding a few strawberries with her other hand. She quietly walked to the bed, then squatted before Wu Yueling and raised her head to look at the kid.
“Eat…strawberries…” she said and handed the kid those strawberries. Meanwhile, she glanced at the others and found that they were about ten meters away. Confirming that, she pulled her sungla.s.ses slightly down and let Wu Yueling see her dark eyes.
The other human beings might be scared by her eyes, but not Wu Yueling.
Wu Yueling widened her eyes as she stared at Lin Qiao’s eyes, surprised and confused at the same time. Without knowing how to react, she gazed straight at the other.
Lin Qiao smiled and pushed the sungla.s.ses upward, then reached the strawberries further toward Wu Yueling while saying, “I’m…here…”
Wu Yueling still didn’t know how to react. She frowned slightly as she looked at Lin Qiao while struggling. She wanted to say to Lin Qiao, ‘You’re not her. You don’t have long hair, or ugly scars, or…’
With that thought, Wu Yueling abruptly turned her eyes to Lin Qiao’s chest. She remembered that the zombie sister had a flat chest! But, this big-breasted sister had the same kind of dark eyes as the zombie sister.
Lin Qiao knew that the kid didn’t believe her, and understood why. It was indeed a little difficult for Wu Yueling to recognize her now.
What could she do? ‘Kids are really the most difficult creatures in the world,’ she thought.
Suddenly, she saw something in Wu Yueling’s pocket that looked familiar. She looked closer and recognized it as the gra.s.s dragonfly that she made for Wu Yueling. Moreover, it was still green.‘Shouldn’t it have dried out long ago?’
Spotting the gra.s.s dragonfly, Lin Qiao had an idea. She stood up and walked to the gra.s.s, then squatted and picked up a few gra.s.s leaves. After doing that, she came back to the bed.
This time, she sat down on the end of the bed while facing Wu Yueling, then began making another gra.s.s dragonfly.
Seeing Lin Qiao’s movements, Wu Yueling popped her eyes in shock. She stared straight at the former, watching her weave the gra.s.s leaves into a dragonfly. Then, she lowered her head and took her treasured old gra.s.s dragonfly out of her pocket.
She looked at her own dragonfly, then at Lin Qiao’s. Soon, she wore a bewildered look.
Lin Qiao put the new dragonfly by her side, then closed her eyes to see the outside world.
The young female zombie had left the suite.
Lin Qiao opened her eyes and glanced at Wu Yueling. She just couldn’t understand why the little one was with that zombie.
Meanwhile, the young female zombie was angry at the moment. She rushed into a zombie crowd with a strong intention of killing, smas.h.i.+ng the heads of those zombies with her claws.
Within a blink, the area around her was covered by the bodies of dead zombies; the heads of all of these zombies had been crushed.
…
On the other side, Xiao Yunlong was squatting by Meng Yue’s side, waiting for her to wake up. The latter was lying on a double couch moved her eyelids slightly, then slowly opened her eyes.
“Eh…” She tried to move, but then the pain that came from her entire body made her moan. Xiao Yunlong immediately raised his head and looked at her while exclaiming with surprise, “Meng Yue! You’re awake!”
Meng Yue knitted her brows and tried to sit up. Seeing this, Xiao Yunlong hurriedly helped her. After sitting up, she looked around and asked, “Ling Ling…Where’s Ling Ling? Why didn’t I see Ling Ling?”
Xiao Yunlong remained silent for a while, then said with a bitter face, “Ling Ling was…taken away by the zombie queen.”
Hearing that, Meng Yue immediately widened her eyes. She grabbed Xiao Yunlong’s arm and yelled, “You…How could you let it take Ling Ling away! Why did you let it take Ling Ling away? Eh-hem-hem-hem…”
However, before she finished talking, she felt suffocated, then couldn’t help but cough.
Xiao Yunlong gently rubbed her back and said with concern, “Calm down! Try sensing Ling Ling’s location. Let’s see if we can find her.” He understood that since a long while had pa.s.sed, there was not much hope for Ling Ling to survive. However, he had to do something, because the guilty feeling had been torturing him.
‘Why didn’t the zombie kill us and eat our hearts? At least we wouldn’t need to suffer this torment then!’
‘If Ling Ling is gone…’
