Lin Qiao watched Wu Yueling throw the blanket to the ground and then swiftly run away with surprise, not knowing what to say.
This little one was quite smart, as well as caring, wasn’t she?
Lin Qiao silently walked ashore, bending over with difficulty to pick up the blanket. She carried the blanket as she popped out her claw and cut through it a few times. The small blanket was soon cut into two, and she wrapped her body with one half to cover her damaged chest and black stomach. Then, she directly made a wrap-around skirt with the other half.
Wearing these temporary clothes made from the blanket, Lin Qiao finally sighed in relief and then smiled at Wu Yueling from the distance.
Wu Yueling immediately turned around and ran backward for a few steps after seeing her horrible smile.
Lin Qiao couldn’t think of anything to say anymore.
‘Alright, so my current look is indeed a little unacceptable… But, my little friend, can you not overreact?’
Just then, Wu Yueling seemed to have feared that Lin Qiao might die after all!
Lin Qiao turned around and walked to the lakeside, then slowly squatted there. Fortunately, even though her body was still stiff, her joints were supple enough to allow her to bend her limbs. However, she couldn’t move too fast, or her stiff body would seize up altogether and she wouldn’t be able to move at all.
She looked at her own reflection on the lake surface. Her hairs were scruffy and frizzy, with her facial features not so clearly visible underneath them. She swept her hair behind her head to expose her entire face.
She didn’t know when it had happened, but the wounds on her face had healed, leaving large, dark-brown colored scars on her cheeks. Her pure black, weird eyes were shining.
She looked horrible indeed!
She smiled, causing the wounds on her face to twist, looking grotesque. No wonder the little one ran away once she saw her smiling.
Lin Qiao imagined how terrified the child must have felt on seeing her smiling face.
She looked horrible with her face covered by hair, but even worse when she exposed her visage. It was obviously better to keep her face covered.
She slowly stood up and walked to the edge of the grass, then found a relatively clean spot to sit down.
At this moment, she had a good deal of things to figure out. Looking at Wu Yueling, who stood a short distance away, she wondered whether it was her space that had been allowing this child to slowly turn for the better. After all, even though the child hadn’t been eating, she didn’t seem about to starve to death.
That was very abnormal!
Was time standing still in her space? It shouldn’t be. Judging from the growth of the grasses in here, time had been moving steadily in this place. Was it because of the water? Was the little one’s hunger eased by the lake water that she drank? However, the lake water couldn’t possibly restore her body functions too, could it?
She felt that this space was very mysterious, and she didn’t know what all kind of special effects the lake water might deliver. She herself had drunk quite some water from this lake as well.
‘Right!’ Lin Qiao suddenly recalled that when she entered this space for the first time, she soaked herself in the lake and fell asleep. She didn’t know how long she slept for, but after she woke up, her body had become flexible. At that time, she hadn’t noticed that it was because of the lake water, and thought of it as a natural change of her body.
She now thought it over and figured that it could be the effect of the lake water!
The lake water seemed to be able to help in increasing her zombie level!
With this thought, Lin Qiao felt delighted. This space really seemed to be a treasure that she had been gifted with after coming back to life.
Earlier on, the mutant strawberry’s unpleasant odor disappeared after it was washed in the lake. Could the lake water also serve the function of odor removal?
After figuring this out, Lin Qiao was much less unhappy. But then, she glanced at Wu Yueling and said to herself in her heart with anger, ‘I was going to send her back to that man. But now, I will not! I have changed my mind!’
Who said that Wu Chengyue was a nice man? Who said that he was a gentle and kind person? He was clearly a smiling tiger! Without warning, he had struck her with lightning directly! She would remember this for sure! Even though Lu Tianyu had raped him… Lu Tianyu was already dead, and she, Lin Qiao, had nothing to do with her!
However, how should she get out now? She didn’t know anything about the situation outside. She had no way to find out if there were people guarding out there.
If only she could read the minds of the people on the outside from inside her space… That way, she would also be able to find out if there were people out there.
Lin Qiao tried to close her eyes in order to listen and feel.
When she closed her eyes and tried hard to sense, a hazy image suddenly popped up inside her brain. The image was familiar, as it was the spot where she had entered the space from.
‘Eh? How can this happen?’
She opened her eyes and the image immediately disappeared from her mind right away. Deep confusion clouded her eyes before she closed them again.
As she had expected, once she closed her eyes and thought about the outside situation, the image appeared in her mind once again, even more clearly than before. However, the image was colorless, as though composed of a series of black, white, and gray shadows. The range of the image had started expanding as well, and she could now see some human figures.
These people were in camouflage clothing, and their faces were all clean. They all carried guns, and were walking casually around the surrounding area. These were clearly human beings, not zombies.
Apart from the image that she had been seeing in her head, Lin Qiao couldn’t sense any vibe. However, she knew that this must be a true depiction of the current situation outside.
That was already enough!
She could see an army station not too far away. It was a temporary station, but she knew for sure that this army was the one that Wu Chengyue had been leading.
The zombies in this area had been basically eradicated, as Lin Qiao didn’t see even a single one of them.
As her eyeballs rolled under her eyelids, the image changed. She looked from left to right and noticed that it was now nightfall outside.
Some soldiers in their camouflage clothing were patrolling while others were sitting to the side, gathered in groups of two or three.
As she had thought, Wu Chengyue had people stationed in this area. Under these circumstances, how could she sneak out? Facing so many people, she would be encircled the moment she showed up, wouldn’t she?
Lin Qiao pondered over it as she observed the outside situation with a sour face. Sadly, she couldn’t read the minds of those people. Otherwise, she might have been able to learn more about the situation and prepare accordingly.
She opened her eyes and the images of the outside world in her head all disappeared. As though her eyes were a switch, she could see the situation outside once she closed them, and once opened, the connection between her and the outside world would be cut off.
She turned around and suddenly saw Wu Yueling, who had sneakily moved to her side and was silently looking at her from less than half a meter away without attracting her attention.
When Lin Qiao’s eyes opened, Wu Yueling widened her own eyes and moved her feet. She instinctively wanted to run, but her foot drew back midway and she continued standing there while looking at Lin Qiao.
She was still a little afraid of Lin Qiao, but she couldn’t resist wanting to stay by her side.
Lin Qiao glanced at her. She was reluctant to move, so she continued sitting on the ground to rest. For some reason, after observing the outside situation twice, she felt quite weary, such that her whole body felt listless. She didn’t feel this tiredness physically, but mentally.
