Even after waiting for quite a long while, Wu Yueling still saw no reaction from Lin Qiao. Hence, she felt a bit strange, wondering why this would happen.

While thinking, she suddenly and unconsciously reached out a hand, gently pushing Lin Qiao’s shoulder.

‘Wake up! Wake up!’

She pushed a few times, but Lin Qiao still didn’t open her eyes. She didn’t know what to do at this point. Unsure of herself, she stood up and turned around, then suddenly saw the lake water.

‘Right! I’ll give her some lake water.’

Wu Yueling remembered that she herself was hungry and thirsty before, feeling utterly uncomfortable. The zombie had given her some water, and after drinking it, she had felt much better. Although she was still very hungry, her stomach no longer ached.

Thinking of this, Wu Yueling ran to the lakeside with the grass funnel that Lin Qiao had woven for her earlier and awkwardly fetched some water. Then, she carefully carried it to Lin Qiao and slowly poured the water into Lin Qiao’s mouth after squatting down.

However, Lin Qiao didn’t open her mouth to let Wu Yueling pour the water into it. Instead, the water flowed onto the ground from Lin Qiao’s cracked lips.

Nevertheless, Wu Yueling wasn’t discouraged. She stood back up and ran to the lakeside to fetch some more water, then tried again to pour it into Lin Qiao’s mouth. Right at that moment, she saw that the zombie had slightly opened her mouth and drank some of it.

Seeing this, Wu Yueling immediately felt delighted.

Lin Qiao opened her eyes slightly and glanced at the kid with her pure black eyes. In fact, she hadn’t fainted, but had suffered a severe tightness in the chest which made her very uncomfortable. She kept her eyes closed the whole time, enduring the uncomfortable feeling and waiting for it to fade.

She was surprised because she could not have anticipated Wu Yueling to actually worry about her, and fetch some water for her to drink.

She could read the little one’s mind. She sighed slightly in relief, because she knew that this little one had finally accepted her.

In reality, she understood that Wu Yueling accepted her like this only because she was afraid of being here alone. Children wanted company after all. Even though Wu Yueling had autism, she still wanted to stay with someone when stuck in a strange environment.

Lin Qiao tried to move her fingers and found that although her body was stiff, she could still manage to move.

She put her forearms onto the ground to support her body, then slowly sat up while looking at Wu Yueling, whose eyes sparkled brightly even though her expression was blank.

Seeing Lin Qiao wake up, Wu Yueling immediately backed away. She only retreated to about three meters though, then picked up her blanket and wrapped herself up again.

Lin Qiao glanced at Wu Yueling, then lowered her head to look down at her own clothes. As she had imagined, her clothes were already ragged. Many parts of her clothes were burnt, leaving only a few rags hanging on her.

She raised her hands to touch her own head, then turned to look at her shoulders. As she expected, her hair had curled up wildly. She then looked at her arms, thighs, and other exposed body areas, finding that her bluish-gray skin had been burnt black.

She raised her head and glance at Wu Yueling again. She couldn’t help feeling a little angry at the little one as her dad was the one who had done all this. He had actually struck her with lightning!

She could barely stand up now, so how was she supposed to take the kid out of the space? Besides, she dared not to go out yet. What if Wu Chengyue and his people were guarding out there? In that case, she would be walking right into their trap by showing her face, wouldn’t she?

However, she couldn’t leave this location without going out or monitor the outside situation from within her space.

She struggled to find a solution and realized that she temporarily had no way of getting out. She wondered if she could send Wu Yueling out from inside the space. However, as she didn’t know the outside situation, she couldn’t know if Wu Chengyue and his people were gone, or if zombies were present there now. How could she send Wu Yueling out under such uncertain circumstances?

Thinking of this, Lin Qiao gave Wu Yueling another stare, and found that this little one seemed to be in a weird condition.

How come this little one was looking more and more energetic? She hadn’t eaten all this while, but why had the ruddy color come back to her cheeks?

But soon, her thoughts were distracted from Wu Yueling by the waves of burnt smell which made her a little dizzy. Reminded by the smell, she thought of her current look. She couldn’t stay like this. She had to take a bath in the lake to remove the smell from her body first. Moreover, what should she do with her hair?

Zombie hair were already dead and dry. To make matters worse, her hair had become scorched and frizzy after being struck by lightning. She might as well cut her hair as it was useless in keeping them.

After making up her mind, she struggled up to her feet. Trying to control her stiff legs, she then shambled to the lakeside, ripping off her clothes with her claws while walking.

It didn’t take much of her strength to take off her ragged clothes. She simply pulled at them and the clothes fell into pieces, exposing her burnt, black body, as well as the cloth strips that were wrapped around her waist.

Before she stripped naked in front of the child, Lin Qiao turned around and glanced at Wu Yueling. She found that the kid had actually covered her eyes with her hands, as though she couldn’t bear to watch.

Lin Qiao was amused as she looked away and unwrapped the cloth strips from her waist.

Looking at the hole in her stomach, she found that it had also been burnt black. The black hole hollowed in her belly, such that she couldn’t even see her intestines and other organs clearly.

She raised her head and looked at the lake surface as she walked deep into the water step by step. Nothing had happened to Wu Yueling since she drank the water from this lake. Based on this fact, Lin Qiao could assume that the lake water was safe. She wondered if her zombie virus had failed to affect the lake water earlier on when she bathed in the lake, or if it’s effect was just too minor to cause any harm.

She couldn’t think of so much at the moment. In the worst case scenario, she would go to the other side of the lake when she wanted to drink the water next time.

After going into the water, she walked deeper and deeper until the water reached her chest. She stood in the water and slowly scrubbed her black skin, feeling her body being soothed by the cool water.

She wasn’t moving fast, as her body wouldn’t allow it. When she had finally washed all reachable body areas and was preparing to go back ashore, she paused for a second. Her clothes had been torn into pieces, and would no longer cover her body!

What was she supposed to wear now? She wondered if the little one would be willing to lend her the blanket that she had been wrapping her own body with if she requested to borrow it.

She felt acutely uncomfortable thinking of being naked even inside her space.

Was she upgrading herself into a pervert zombie now?

At this point, Lin Qiao finally thought of this. Her face darkened, even though it was already burnt black by the lightning.

If she had known that she would be in dire need of clothes, she would have conveniently searched for some and stored them in her space after killing that intelligent zombie. Yet now, she didn’t even have a single piece of cloth to cover her body.

Wu Chengyue was such a b*stard!

Maybe her anger was too strong or for other reasons, Wu Yueling actually sensed her thoughts from the short distance.

Wu Yueling now knew that this zombie wanted her blanket, and also understood that the clothes which had been thrown to the ground by the zombie were definitely no longer wearable.

So, she ran over while holding her blanket. Then, she threw it to the lakeside and turned around, running far away again while leaving Lin Qiao speechless.
