You were only at level three or four when I met you. It has been less than two months, but you’ve already broken into level-six, haven’t you?
Qiu Lili said,
If every zombie upgraded as quickly as you, all the human bases would have been destroyed by thousands of high-leveled zombies long ago.
Lin Qiao crossed her arms before her chest, then raised one hand to scratch her chin. While thinking, she said,
You’re right though! There are quite some intelligent zombies, but only a few of them managed to step into level-six and become zombie kings and queens. I’m a special case. Even my body wasn’t mine.
Lin Wenwen glanced at her and asked abruptly,
Have Lin Wenwen… guessed out your true identity? The conversation you had today down in the lobby was a little weird.
Speaking of that, Lin Qiao laughed.
In fact, they have had suspicions about that since long ago. They just didn’t want to believe it,
she said,
When I woke up in this body, I didn’t believe it either. Back then, I thought that I was dreaming.
Liu Jun and Qiu Lili glanced at each other, understanding Lin Qiao. If they woke up in a strange place as a strange person, they would certainly be confused and unable to believe that it was real.
However, as that didn’t really happen to them, they couldn’t feel exactly how Lin Qiao had felt.
But, why did they suspect you? You didn’t say it out loud, did you?
asked Qiu Lili.
Lin Qiao responded,
My Mom isn’t young anymore. She only believes what she sees, but not what people say. However, as I have shown them quite some of my old habits on purpose, they’ll certainly have that kind of guesses. Perhaps, they only suspected that I was pretending to be Lin Qiao at first. But, Lin Wenwen is not like the others. If she had doubts, she would certainly try to find out the truth. So I guess she dug into Lu Tianyu’s life story back in Sea City Base.
She paused for a second, then continued,
She should have figured out that Lu Tianyu and I are different. After that, she’d start thinking about my purpose. As a stranger, I’ve helped them so many times. She’d think that I either have some special purpose, or am a family member.
Back in Hades Base, Lin Wenwen was always protected. So, I guess she’s quite dependent on you. So, she’ll choose the idea which is good for her and her family to prove, and hope that it is true. I think she did that also because she just doesn’t want to believe that you’re already dead,
said Liu Jun.
Lin Qiao nodded in agreement,
Yeah, you’re right. She always relied on me. After the base and I were destroyed, she must have suffered a hard strike.
Qiu Lili looked at her and said,
Should I call her silly or smart? Normally, people won’t believe something like that, yet she did! And it is truly real!
She isn’t silly,
said Lin Qiao,
But, for something that she believes in, she could be very stubborn, and will try everything she can to find out the truth. Smart people can be silly sometimes too, and silly people… Well sometimes being silly is a kind of luck, and at other times, that is just a misfortune.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Come in, please. The door isn’t locked,
Liu Jun answered the door.
The door was gently pushed open, and standing behind it were Shen Yujen and Chen Yuting.
Chen Yuting nodded at the three in the room, then said to Lin Qiao,
Miss. Lu, Jen says that she still wants to stay with you, so… please arrange a room for her on the fifth floor.
Lin Qiao looked at Shen Yujen and asked,
Why? Don’t you dare to live with him?
She thought that Shen Yujen would live with Chen Yuting, and Chen Yuting thought that too. Shen Yujen was the only one against that idea, and Chen Yuting just had to respect his wife’s wish.
Shen Yujen nodded, then opened her mouth as she turned and pointed at Chen Yuting’s neck.
She was worried that she might lose control of herself and bite Chen Yuting. If that happened, there would be trouble.
Lin Qiao grinned at her and said,
You’re not a vampire. Why do you always stare at his veins?
After saying that, she continued to Chen Yuting,
Alright, I’ll get her a room. There’re plenty of rooms on the fifth floor anyway.
Thank you! I’ll… get downstairs then,
said Chen Yuting to Lin Qiao gratefully, who nodded at him in response
After Chen Yuting had left, Lin Qiao said to Liu Jun,
Junjun, you go and arrange a room for her. Ah, also, get a room for Xie Dong as well.
While speaking, Lin Qiao suddenly recalled that Xie Dong and the zombie dog were still in her space. Of course, she wouldn’t let the zombie dog out.
Having finished talking, she stood up and flashed into her space.
After entering her space, she looked at Xie Dong, who was sitting on a couch in a daze, and said,
Let’s go out… Let bygones be bygones! Some people aren’t worth for you to love. Maybe you can switch to a new relationship and forget about her.
Xie Dong raised his head as he looked at her with a dull, confused face. He spent a short while to process what Lin Qiao just said. He shook his head, then stood up and picked up his bag before walking up to Lin Qiao. The latter dragged his arm and flashed out.
As Lin Qiao brought Xie Dong out of her space, Liu Jun put Tongtong down and stood up, turning and walking out to guide Xie Dong and Shen Yuzhen to their rooms.
You two follow me,
she said.
Soon, Liu Jun came back and asked Lin Qiao with a strange expression,
Why do I feel that Xie Dong is down? What happened to him?
Lin Qiao responded,
Ah, him… something did happen to him. He found that the women that he had been loving doesn’t love him. And while he wasn’t home, she had been with other men. In fact, he just loved the wrong person. She doesn’t love him, and lied to him. Lying is a worse thing, so he needs some time to heal.
Liu Jun nodded with pity,
I see.
Maybe I can send him to the construction site and find him some work to distract him with,
said Lin Qiao.
Liu Jun walked to the couch and sat down as she looked at Lin Qiao and said,
That’s a good idea. He seemed to be really lost just now. I’m afraid it’s gonna take a long while for him to find his way out.
Suddenly, Lin Qiao recalled something. She raised her head and asked Liu Jun,
Earlier, you mentioned the man who abandoned you. What’s his name?
Liu Jun was puzzled at first, then a dim light flashed across her eyes.
Huang Tianfei,
she responded.
Lin Qiao clapped her hands and said with regret,
Ugh, no wonder I found his name familiar when Xie Dong’s woman called him. This didn’t come to my mind back then! So, he is the bstard who abandoned you! If I knew it, I’d have done much more than just stripping that man and that woman!
