Lin Qiao observed those roe deers and goats carefully, and that discovery made her glad.
It seemed that the energy in her space had removed the zombie virus from their gene. The adult ones didn’t look so different from before, but the second generation was obviously different from their parents. Apart from the virus, they also carried the energy from the lake water.
Meanwhile, the second generation of goats were almost virus free. Their meat would be edible for human beings after being soaked in the lake water for a few days. Perhaps, the third generation would be edible for humans directly.
If her space could deliver such an effect, maybe she should put some mutated chicken, duck, and pigs in there. In the future, the people in her base would have safe meat to eat with that.
With better food and living conditions, people would have greater strength to hunt zombies, and the army would soon grow stronger. She would also be able to trade the safe meat from her space for the supplies that her base needed.


Without needing to catch any of those mutated roe deers and goats, Lin Qiao was able to clearly sense the virus that each of them carried. She instantly decided to release an announcement for the hunters in her base later when she exited her space and tell them to capture some mutated animals alive. She had plenty of room in her space to keep those animals anyway.
She planned to ask Lin Feng to release that task in the mission hall. That was an efficient way to get things done.
After confirming the changes that had happened to the animals in her space, she returned to her house, looking at Lu Tianyi and the other zombies,
You’ve been here for about three months. I’m taking you outside to breathe some fresh air today. Leave a few zombies here to watch the crops.


I’ll make some arrangements.
Lu Tianyi’s eyes immediately glowed. He had no idea what was happening outside during his time in the space. He wasn’t one of those who couldn’t bear loneliness, but it was still great to go out for a little bit.
Soon, Lu Tianyi summoned a few zombies and said to Lin Qiao,
Take them out first and put them in the army for training.

Lin Qiao nodded. Lu Tianyi had already taken out a rope and connected those zombies, Pesticide, and Xiao-xiao with it.
Lin Qiao held Lu Tianyi’s arm, then closed her eyes and generated a thought.
Reopening her eyes, she and the other zombies were already standing in her bedroom.

Out, out,
Lin Qiao immediately started to drive those zombies out of her room. She didn’t like it when so many different scents lingered in her room.
The other zombies obediently moved toward the bedroom, and only Lu Tianyi hesitated to move. He sniffed at the air and paused for a moment, then turned to give Lin Qiao a meaningful glance.



I guess you two are making some great progress. Should I start calling him brother-in-law?
Lu Tianyi spent a second staring at her and then said with a grin.

Brother-in-law my as! Out! Out!
Lin Qiao waved at him like waving off a mosquito.She had spent a long while in her space, yet a strong scent from that man was still lingering in her room.
Lu Tianyi rolled his eyes as he walked out of the bedroom and said in the meantime,
Still not admitting it? You are going to have a baby together, and you’ve done what was needed to be done. Are you still not going to be together? When did you become so inaccessible?

‘You were with so many men before, but you never disliked any of them.’

Lin Qiao blinked, then said to him blandly,
Before, self-protection was difficult.

She said self-protection was hard instead of ‘I couldn’t protect myself’, because she was talking about Lu Tianyu and not herself.
She looked at Lu Tianyi. The more time she spent together with him, the more strongly she felt that he cared about his sister, and the harder it was for her to tell him about her true identity. If she did, the young man would certainly take a heavy strike, and maybe do something not good.
He would be sad for sure, because his real sister had died.
But, she was so different from Lu Tianyu. Did Lu Tianyi really not know that she wasn’t his sister? He should at least have suspected her.
Lu Tianyi looked at her in a very meaningful way. But soon, he walked out of her bedroom without saying any other word. Surprisingly, Lin Qiao wasn’t able to read his mind at that moment.


In the living room, Lu Tianyi turned back to her and said,
Will you let the baby call you Mom and him Dad? But you won’t be together… What if the baby asked you why the other kids’ parents are together? How are you gonna answer that question? Single-parenting isn’t good for the child’s growth. The other kids might laugh at your baby for that.

Many children from single-parent families had some psychological shadow after growing up, unless their parents gave them a double amount of love. When their parents weren’t around, some of the other kids would say mean words to them and make fun of them. Sometimes, people mentioned their families casually, but those words they used could be hurtful for those poor kids.

Viney won’t be so fragile,
Lin Qiao responded to him,
She’s a sensible child.

How could that kid, who dared to entrap her own parents, be sad only because of some words that came from other people? That would be impossible!
Lu Tianyi was a little confused when he heard that. How sensible could a baby possibly be? And, Viney? Was it a girl?

Alright, alright! You take them back to where you live.

After sending all those zombies out of her flat, she finally realized that she didn’t land in a random spot this time. She entered the space from her bedroom, and now she was back in her bedroom.
She seemed to have regained all her abilities. She was able to enter her space again, and turn invisible at any time she wanted.
She glanced at her own pajamas and felt a little embarrassed. Earlier, she talked to Mo Yan in that pajama suit. How impolite!
As Lu Tianyi and the other zombies had left, she thought that she could finally take some rest. However, someone knocked on her door before she even walked back into her bedroom.


Lin Qiao raised her eyebrows. The scents that came from behind the door belonged to Duan Juan and Nine, the new zombie. She looked at the time and found that it was already three in the morning. No way! Did that dumb zombie attack Duan Juan at night again?
She opened the door to see Duan Juan’s sour face. She didn’t say anything as Lin Qiao opened the door, but folded her arms and pouted her mouth to point at one side to signal for Lin Qiao to look that way.
Lin Qiao turned and saw that young male zombie, who loved to pounce on people, standing beside Duan Juan with his hands held behind his back. From Lin Qiao’s angle, she was able to see his hands locked in stone handcuffs again.

He went to your room at night again?
Lin Qiao laughed and said.
Duan Juan pressed her lips together. She didn’t want to say anything.
She was sleeping tight, yet that zombie suddenly jumped on her and licked her face. How awful it was to wake up with her face covered in zombie saliva!
She had no idea how the zombie managed to sneak into her room without letting her know. It had happened twice. Had she been off-guard? She was an elite from a special force after all! It was so ridiculous that she let a stupid zombie sneak into her room twice.
Why? How on earth did the zombie do that?
Duan Juan was so not happy and curious about it.
