She often saw living human beings being bitten or scratched by those walking dead. Those human beings would die, then become walking corpses themselves and wander in the world.
She didn’t know if she would turn the others into zombies too, but she felt that she was almost the same as those walking dead.
But now, she had company! She wanted to keep Wu Yueling, and she believed that she would take good care of her.
She didn’t think whether the child’s family would worry, neither considered what she should feed her with. She felt that the things which were edible for herself were also edible for the child.
She was so happy now because she didn’t need to go everywhere alone anymore. Before, she was only able to hide in the places that human beings couldn’t find, and curiously watch them. But now, with the child, she wouldn’t be bored to the point where she had nothing to do but count the ants by the road.
While observing Wu Yueling, the look on her face changed slightly. Then, she glanced at the sky and carefully scooped Wu Yueling as she turned and left.
It was going to rain. She knew that the rain would be so, so cold. So, she carried Wu Yueling while moving toward West Lake.
The West Lake area was her temporary territory. She hoped that the giant creature from Upper City District wouldn’t go to her place while she wasn’t there.
However, she had no idea that the child’s father was in that area now.
On the other side, Lin Qiao saw a vine draw back into the lake after she threw the zombie nucleus into the water, and smiled.
‘So impatient!’ She thought. The vine showed up silently because it sensed the energy contained in the zombie nucleus. Anyway, only she noticed the vine coming out of the lake.
A couple of minutes after the zombie nucleus was thrown into the water, Lin Qiao sensed the change of the energy in the lake. The underwater energy waves hadn’t yet reached up to the lake surface, but she clearly sensed them. She realized that two streams of energies were merging into one.
One of the two was the energy of the lake, which she was familiar with. It used to be gentle, but not anymore. Meanwhile, the other stream of energy was violent, belonging to the zombie king.
Perhaps, Viney’s energy was agitated by the zombie king’s violent energy.
The two streams of power swirled in the lake: one was devouring the other, and the other was fighting back. Some of the others had sensed the energy waved down in the lake, but not as clearly as Lin Qiao had.
With confusion, Lu Tianyi walked to her side and asked,
Is there…something in your lake?

Lin Qiao glanced at him, then at Kong Qingming, who followed behind him. ‘These two boys are quite sensitive. They both sensed the energies, even though their powers have only restored by about thirty percent,’ she thought.
Xie Dong walked over silently as well, looking at the lake. The dangerous feeling that he got from the lake was getting stronger and stronger.
Lin Qiao glanced at Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming again. She didn’t nod, but handed Xie Dong the clipboard and said,
I…go…out, you…

While speaking, she pointed at their clothes, then at the bucket.
Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming glanced at each other and understood her meaning. After that, Lin Qiao closed her eyes and disappeared from the lakeside.
Then, Lu Tianyi asked Xie Dong,
I have one question…

Xie Dong looked at him as the former smiled in a strange way and said,
Did Lu Tianyu lose her hair?


Hehe…
Kong Qingming couldn’t help but laugh.
Lu Tianyi threw a glance at him, then turned back to Xie Dong. Both of them had noticed that a while ago. However, as Lin Qiao wore the hat and sunglasses all the time, they thought that she might feel embarrassed if they asked her the question.
Nevertheless, they were really curious! Picturing the bald Lu Tianyu, sometimes with her old face with thick makeup, sometimes without makeup, and sometimes with zombie eyes, Lu Tianyi felt like both crying and laughing.
He tried to imagine the expression that she must have had on finding herself bald. He believed that she must have cursed the world with the worst language she knew.
Xie Dong looked at them and remained silent for seven or eight seconds, then nodded. He was a little surprised while looking at Lu Tianyi, as he found that the latter seemed to care a lot about Lin Qiao…no, about Lu Tianyu. Lu Tianyi had yet to find out that Lu Tianyu the zombie had a different soul now.
‘Is this handsome man in secret love with Lu Tianyu?’ Xie Dong wondered, ‘That woman has a secret suitor? That’s a surprise.’
‘Do you care about her?’—Xie Dong wrote on the clipboard.
Lu Tianyi paused for a second, then dropped his eyelids and gave a helpless smile as he responded,
You noticed that?

Xie Dong speechlessly rolled his eyes. Kong Qingming did the same thing, then said,
I didn’t want to say this, but you’ve been paying attention to her the whole time. Haven’t you felt that she has changed a lot? To be honest, I have even started to think if you’re wrong.

Lu Tianyi paused again, his eyes fixed on the lake surface.
Of course, he had felt that. How could he not? He felt the difference since the day he met her. He started doubting himself long ago, but the problem was that she had admitted, hadn’t she?
She didn’t deny that she was Lu Tianyu.

I know, but she didn’t deny.

Kong Qingming remained silent for a while, then said,
Whatever! I think no one but us can recognize her at the moment.
 While speaking, he turned to look at the others. Xie Dong glanced at them and didn’t join their conversation, walking to the daily supply area instead and finding a few buckets.
Because of the lake, Lin Qiao had collected quite some buckets of different sizes for future use. Before she left the hotel, she had filled all the large buckets in the hotel with the lake water for Lin Feng and his people to use. She had left about thirty bucketfuls of water in the hotel.
…
After exiting her space, Lin Qiao calmly glanced at Wu Chengyue who was sitting on the tree without sensing anything. Giving a proud smile, she turned and left.
It was a little unkind for her to seize his zombie nucleus, but she did that to take her revenge for striking her with a lightning bolt due to no reason. She hadn’t forgotten that! Even though she took the little one away, didn’t she give her back to him at last? And she served as a nanny for so many days!
She saw the zombie nucleus as her payment for taking care of his child.
