Chapter 70: The Boy Wakes Up
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
After collecting the table, chair, and other furniture pieces in the room, Lin Qiao glanced at the bed. Then, she turned back and walked out, collecting the things in the living room and the other bedroom.
She didn’t miss the kitchen, sending it into her s.p.a.ce.
If Xie Dong were here, he could at least help her to start a fire. But, he wasn’t around at the moment, and the fire was the only thing she was lacking as of now.
After emptying the entire flat, Lin Qiao went back into the bedroom. The female zombie was still standing by the bed, staring straight at the boy in the bed.
Lin Qiao walked to the bed to check the little boy’s body condition, and found that the green energy was nearly consumed up. She now sensed much less lifelessness from the boy, and instead, a life-force which didn’t exist before was now radiating from his internal organs.
‘I’ll bring him into my s.p.a.ce now. You can follow me in to take a look first if you’re still worried.’ She wrote on the paper and showed it to the female zombie.
The female zombie nodded in agreement after reading it.
Lin Qiao walked to her and pressed a hand on her shoulder, then both of them disappeared from the bedroom.
The female zombie couldn’t see colors; everything she saw was black and white. For a moment, her eyes were dazzled, and after that, she reopened them to see a gra.s.sland, which was gray in her eyes.
She turned to look around in surprise, then found that this was such a large s.p.a.ce, which contained not only a gra.s.sland, but also a lake.
She also saw some furniture pieces placed in an area; some came from the flat that she lived in, and the rest she had never seen.
‘You wait here. I’ll go bring the boy in along with the bed.’ Lin Qiao wrote on the paper. Before the female zombie could respond, Lin Qiao and Wu Yueling disappeared again.
As Lin Qiao vanished suddenly, the female zombie instantly showed a nervous look. She took a circle but failed to find her, so she could only try to control her emotions while silently praying for the former to not lie to her.
Fortunately, she only waited for a few seconds before a bed showed up on the gra.s.s right before her. However, no one was on the bed. However, right after that, Lin Qiao showed up as well; one arm of hers held the boy, and the other held the little girl.
Lin Qiao let go of Wu Yueling’s hand and let her run away, then turned around to put the boy in the bed.
Seeing that Lin Qiao had brought the boy in as she had promised, the female zombie let out a long sigh of relief.
Hearing her sigh, Lin Qiao took out the paper and the pen after setting the boy, and wrote—’My name is Lin Qiao. Give yourself a name, if you can’t remember your old one.’
The female zombie shook her head. Judging by her expression, she really couldn’t remember her own name. But as for naming herself, she had one flas.h.i.+ng across her mind just now when she read Lin Qiao’s note.
Lin Qiao sensed her thoughts, so she wrote ‘Junjun’ on the paper, then showed it to the female zombie.
The female zombie nodded after reading it, and then suddenly gazed at the other with surprise.
She had that name in mind only for a moment, but why would Lin Qiao know about that? She had this strange feeling since before, but didn’t realize it until she saw Lin Qiao write ‘Junjun’ on the paper.
After sensing her current thoughts, Lin Qiao wrote to explain—’I can sense the thoughts of all lower-level zombies, including yours.’
She felt that she didn’t need to keep that secret from Junjun, as nothing bad would happen if the latter knew. But, she didn’t tell Jujun that she could sense the thoughts of human beings too. And, even she herself couldn’t tell if that was her superpower or a just regular ability of zombies.
Junjun stared at her, her face filled with shock.
She wondered if all higher level zombies could do that or if that was exclusive to Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao didn’t tell her anything more about that, but turned back to look at the bed. Abruptly, she held the boy up again, then walked to Junjun as the latter stared at her confusedly. After that, she put the boy in Junjun’s arms, then crooked her fingers to signal for her to follow her.
Next, she dragged the bed quite easily and walked toward the small s.p.a.ce.
Junjun carefully held the boy and followed behind Lin Qiao. She looked ahead and saw a black hole…
It wasn’t exactly a hole, because its both sides were occupied by a white fog. It looked like a two-meters-tall, square-shaped hole in the middle of the fog, like a door.
Seeing Lin Qiao easily lift the bed and drag it into the hole, Jujun had the words ‘tough girl’ emerge in her head. She pondered upon it then felt that she should replace ‘girl’ with ‘female zombie’, so she should call Lin Qiao ‘tough female zombie’!
Lin Qiao regretted after dragging the bed in.
She had realized that she should have taken out the things in the small s.p.a.ce first. The room inside wasn’t large, so once the bed was put in, there was no room left for anything else. And now, the entrance had been blocked by the bed, behind which were a few tanks of gas and a pile of sundries. She now needed to move out the tanks!
The problem was that the bed was stuck!
She stood on the bed, silently looking at the few tanks behind it. Now, she could only carry them out by going over the bed.
Junjun stood outside the entrance and stuck her head in to see that Lin Qiao seemed not to know what to do. However, she couldn’t help her as she was holding the boy, and could only curiously observe the small s.p.a.ce.
Meanwhile, she wondered why Lin Qiao had a small s.p.a.ce inside her s.p.a.ce. Was it a double s.p.a.ce?
Lin Qiao carried out the things inside the small s.p.a.ce, and went over the bed to put them outside. Then, she moved the bed further in and piled those sundries under it.
After being done with it, she waved at Junjun, then pointed at the bed, signaling her to put the boy on it.
Junjun immediately walked in and held the boy to the bed, bending over to put him on it gently.
Right at that moment, the eyelids of the little boy who was just laid on the bed moved slightly, and then he opened his eyes slowly.
That was a pair of dim and expressionless eyes. However, these eyes didn’t show any fear when the boy saw Junjun’s zombie face, but glowed slightly. And then, the boy opened his mouth to utter a sound.
“Uh… Mommy!” The boy’s voice was weak, but he sounded to be relying heavily on Junjun.
Junjun’s heart melted when she heard his voice. Even though she didn’t remember anyone, she would never forget that feeling. It was like that this boy was the most important thing to her.
Lin Qiao glanced at the little boy in surprise as well when she noticed that he had woken up.
She saw that his eyes were dim and unfocused, but couldn’t detect any fear from those eyes when he looked at Junjun, whose appearance had changed.
She then took out the paper and wrote a line. However, instead of showing that to Junjun, she directly put the piece of paper in her hand. After that, she picked up the small bowl which she gave to Junjun before, then turned and walked out of the small s.p.a.ce.
