Lin Qiao glanced at the female zombie, then wrote on the paper—?‘Since you don’t remember anything, you can take the child with you for now. You won’t hurt him as long as I’m here.’

The female zombie looked at Lin Qiao in surprise. She didn’t think that the latter could see what she was thinking. She thought that the latter had guessed it, but what she didn’t know was that Lin Qiao knew her every thought clearly.

‘Maybe I can help you send your child to a base. The bases are where the human survivors should be living in. Living with two zombies won’t be safe enough for your child.’?Lin Qiao wrote on the paper.

The female zombie nodded. She understood that sending the child to a base was the best solution, but loathed to do that. She felt that the child was his son, and couldn’t convince herself to give him to other people.

Even though her current condition didn’t allow her to raise the child, she truly wasn’t willing to send him away.

Lin Qiao glanced at her. She understood how the female zombie felt as a mother, so she thought briefly and then wrote on the paper—?‘You might be able to keep him if you don’t want to send him away. But, that will be very dangerous. And, if you’re going to protect him, you need to grow stronger.’

For both human beings and zombies, they couldn’t protect anyone or even themselves in this post-apocalyptic world without strength.

The female zombie looked at Lin Qiao confusedly. She didn’t know how to strengthen herself. Although she had become a zombie, she had no idea about how a zombie should upgrade itself.

Lin Qiao looked at the room behind the female zombie. She didn’t write anything this time, but asked the female zombie a question with her eyes, about whether she could get in to check on the child, and also about her next decision.

If the female zombie let her in, that would mean that she was willing to take her son and follow her.

The female zombie stared at Lin Qiao for a second while struggling inside. Then, she took two steps to the side and moved away from before the door.

Seeing this, Lin Qiao walked passed the female zombie with Wu Yueling, into the bedroom. This bedroom was quite neat and tidy, probably because it had never been looted by the other human survivors. Many living goods and pieces of furniture were left in this room, all in good conditions.

After walking into the room, she saw a little boy lying on the bed.

She walked closer to see him more clearly. The boy was in a deep sleep, and looked one or two years younger than Wu Yueling, about three years old. His face was sallow, cheeks sunken, and the rims of his eyes were dark. Apart from all these, he looked as small as a two-year-old kid, albeit very skinny. At a glance, Lin Qiao knew that it was because of chronic malnutrition.

The female zombie walked to the other side of the bed, also looking at the boy. She started becoming nervous when she saw Lin Qiao reaching her hand toward the child in bed. But soon, she found that Lin Qiao’s fingers were clean, without the dark, sharp black claws. So, she relaxed a little.

Lin Qiao put her fingers on the boy’s neck side to feel his pulse, then found that it was already very weak, seeming about to disappear at any time.

She took her hand back, prepared to exam the boy’s body condition further. But suddenly, she saw something strange.

She tried not to look too surprised when she fixed her pure black eyes on the little boy’s stomach. Her eyes were sparkling with a cold light and filled with confusion.

The female zombie had been observing Lin Qiao nervously, as she was afraid that Lin Qiao might suddenly hurt the boy. As she noticed that strange expression on her face, she immediately turned more nervous.

Lin Qiao felt her panic, so she slightly raised a hand to signal for the female zombie to calm down while her eyes were continued fixing on the boy’s stomach.

When she stared at the little boy’s stomach, she was looking at a very faint greenness which was flowing inside the boys’ stomach.

She didn’t know what it was, but it looked familiar. In order to confirm, she slightly bent down, lifted the boy’s blanket, and then put her palm on his stomach.

As she expected, she sensed a familiar energy through her palm. That was the energy she had felt down in the center of the lake in her space when she was tortured nearly to death.

She closed her eyes to feel it carefully, and after about ten seconds, she finally confirmed one thing: this weak energy had been restoring the boy’s nearly dried up life-force. It seemed that the bowlful of water which she gave to the female zombie earlier was the source of this energy.

She opened her eyes and took back her hand.

Then, she took out the paper and started writing—?‘The water I gave you earlier has healing power. It’s slowly restoring this boy’s vitality. I think he’ll wake up in three or four hours. You take him and come with me. I need to head South and can’t spend too long in here.’

The female zombie’s pale gray eyes glowed as she read Lin Qiao’s note and learned that the water had healing power.

She looked at Lin Qiao with surprise and expectation, hardly able to believe this.

Lin Qiao nodded, then spread her hands and signaled for the female zombie to choose if she would leave with her now or not.

Earlier on, she didn’t know that the lake water contained that energy. But, after the water altered her body condition, she could actually see the energy, which surprised her a lot.

‘Why’s that? What exactly has happened to me?’?She wondered.

Seeing the surprised look on the female zombie’s face, she shrugged and then wrote—’I?will bring everything in this room into my space. They’re all useful.’

The female zombie nodded. It was the post-apocalyptic world, and who cared whom the things in this room belonged to? No one would come for these things even if they left them here.

After getting her permission, Lin Qiao turned away from the bed and began emptying the room.

Wu Yueling followed Lin Qiao closely the whole time. She saw the little boy lying in bed once she came in, and was looking at him curiously. A mysterious attraction seemed to always exist between children of the same age. Therefore, the moment Wu Yueling saw the boy who was only slightly younger than herself, her attention shifted to him from the female zombie.

Now, as she saw that Lin Qiao walked away to collect the things in the room, she hurriedly reached out to drag Lin Qiao’s pants and followed her tightly. But, while walking behind Lin Qiao, she kept turning back to look at the boy in the bed.

Lin Qiao rummaged in the room. She collected the kettle and all the cups and glasses on the table. Everything touched by her would vanish into thin air.

It would be more understandable if it were a human being who had been collecting these things, but it was a little weird for a zombie to do so.

She opened the closet and found quite some clothes in it; some were adult wear, and some were children’s. Those children’s clothes seemed to suit the little boy in the bed perfectly.

After seeing these clothes, Lin Qiao put all of them into her space along with the closet itself.
