How did you do it?
Qiu Lili looked at her curiously.
Lin Qiao responded,
I’m able to control the energy in my space now. I gave him a surprise attack and brought him into my space, then suppressed his power with the space and killed him.
Hearing that, Qiu Lili replied with surprise,
Your space can kill people! So, you can simply drag anyone who offended you into your space and kill them?
Lin Qiao shook her head and said,
It’s not like that. The space can only suppress his power. As he was at level-seven, I spent over an hour to suppress his power. If he were stronger, I might have failed. Also, it was not easy to bring him into the space. I did it while he was unprepared. If he was preparing for it, it’d be difficult for me to approach him.
But, it’s already amazing that you managed to kill someone who was at a higher level than yourself!
Qiu Lili was still surprised,
Ah, don’t you have that thing in your lake?
Lin Qiao shook her head and said,
Viney is no longer in the lake, so she can’t help me now.
Qiu Lili looked at her and asked,
No in the lake? Where did she go?
Lin Qiao gave her a glance, then answered her question vaguely,
Somewhere else.
Qiu Lili scanned Lin Qiao from head to toe with her ruby-like eyes, saying,
Somewhere else? Isn’t she like a special local product of your space?
Lin Qiao looked at her and laughed,
That’s a strange metaphor… but sounds quite accurate. She is indeed not in my space now.
Where did she go then?
asked Qiu Lili.
Lin Qiao shook her head and said,
About that… I have no idea either.
She could not tell Qiu Lili that Viney was now hiding in her uterus and that she had become a little zombie baby, could she? Also, would Viney be a human or a zombie when she was born?
She hadn’t thought about that yet!
Qiu Lili didn’t ask further questions about Viney’s whereabouts, but changed the topic.
Em, from now on, this place is our territory! We can’t let strangers get close without our permission!
she said with discontentment.
Lin Qiao laughed,
Didn’t I take care of him already? We’re tough. He had sneaked into our territory, so could we possibly let him do whatever he wanted here?
You’re right!
Qiu Lili nodded in agreement,
From now on, no one can enter this area without permission!
Lin Qiao nodded, then crooked his finger toward the zombie dog.
Come here!
The zombie dog looked at her confusedly while walking over. Qiu Lili too looked at her with confusion. Lin Qiao guided the zombie dog to the lawn nearby, then shook a hand. With that, a pair of scissors appeared in her hand.
What are you doing?
Qiu Lili asked while staring at that shiny scissors.
I’m going to give it a haircut,
said Lin Qiao,
Maybe, it’ll look better after that.
Qiu Lili nodded knowingly,
Ah, you should.
Alright, stand here and don’t move,
said Lin Qiao to the zombie dog.
After that, she bent over and started from the dog’s neck. Lock by lock, she cut off the dog’s extremely dirty hair which were soaked in blood and pus.
The zombie dog stood motionlessly and let Lin Qiao cut its hair. Meanwhile, Qiu Lili stood aside and said,
Give it a shower when you’re done. It stinks!
Em, I do have that plan,
Lin Qiao nodded.
Qiu Lili spent half an hour watching Lin Qiao cut all the dog’s hair. She didn’t even miss the dog’s tail. Except for its head, the dog was hairless now.
It would look like a male lion if it had a shorter snout.
Afterward, Lin Qiao took a bucket of water out of her space, then began showering the dog with a water ladle to wash off the filth. Next, she pointed at the rest half bucket of water and said to the zombie dog,
Get in and stay there. Don’t come out until I tell you to.
Ow!
The zombie dog gave a happy howl. It took a few steps backward, then ran over and jumped into the bucket.
Plop! The dog jumped into the bucket, splashing the water everywhere.
The group of zombies who were working in the field all turned back to glance at the dog, feeling that the dog was living a better life than they were. The dog was allowed to take a bath in the energy water while they could only get a glass of that water to drink after a long, hard-working day.
Lin Qiao finished cleaning the dog, then looked at the time. After that, she shouted at those zombies who were digging sweet potatoes in the field,
Alright, it’s time to knock off. Come over here!
Those zombies immediately stood up and walked toward her. Xie Dong and Shen Yujen dusted off their hands and stood beside Lin Qiao as well.
Lin Qiao threw out a rope and made those zombies hold it, then brought them all into her space. After that, she waited by a bucket which was placed near the lakeside.
Once they entered, those zombies all ran to a cabinet near a small space to pick up their own cups.
Lin Qiao had found that cabinet from the outside. The space in the cabinet was divided into about forty cubes, about half the size of the lockers in supermarkets.
In that cabinet were the cups that Lin Qiao collected for those zombies.
The zombies picked up their own cups, then lined up before Lin Qiao, waiting for her to give them the water.
During the first couple of days, Lin Qiao gave them the water according to the number of sweet potatoes that each of them had found. Later on, they searched through the entire field and dug out all mutated sweet potatoes, only leaving those healthy sweet potatoes which were growing near the sweetcorn plants in the ground.
But still, Lin Qiao gave them a cup of water each as their minimum wage.
However, she told them that if there was no more work to do, she would stop giving them the water. When there were jobs that needed to be done, she would let them know. She also told them that they could only get the water after they did some work.
At night, Lin Qiao would return to the hotel to give the water to Mengmeng and those zombie leaders. She also gave them baths every week.
Each time, she would spend a long while to observe the zombie old man taking a bath.
That night, Lin Qiao stayed in a room in the small building in her space and sat on a bed with her legs crossed. She rolled up her military vest, exposing her pretty waist and sexy and firm abs.
She also pulled her pants slightly downwards to expose her flat lower abdomen.
After that, she picked up the level-seven energy nucleus which had been cleaned and put it on her palm, then pressed it on her lower abdomen. Soon, she sensed a strong and icy-cold type of energy slowly flowing into her belly.
It was the first time for her to absorb the energy of a metal-powered man. The metal energy turned out to be sharp and cold. She knitted her brows into a frown as she felt a little uncomfortable. However, she endured that weird feeling.
She felt that her belly was absorbing that energy, and she knew that it wasn’t her who had been absorbing it, but Viney.
Knowing that Viney was able to absorb the energy, she was relieved. She only wondered how much that level-seven energy nucleus could help Viney to develop.
