“You want to bathe alone? Old man, you’re a zombie, aren’t you?” Lin Qiao looked at the old man with confusion.

“Roar!” The old man stubbornly roared at Lin Qiao, then turned his back to her.‘Then I won’t take a bath!’

Lin Qiao popped her eyes and couldn’t help but raise her claws. She clenched her teeth and scratched the air, then dropped her arms with a complicated look.

“Alright, alright! You’re the second zombie who dares to be so willful in front of me! The first one is Mengmeng,” said Lin Qiao helplessly.

“Roar!” The zombie old man’s eyes glowed. He actually thanked Lin Qiao.‘Thank you!’

Lin Qiao was a little stunned. She looked at the zombie old man and felt that maybe she could upgrade him ahead of schedule. He might be able to regain his memories or humanity. However, would he still follow her after that? What Lin Qiao was worried was that he might be ungrateful after restoring his memory, and might cause her troubles. Nevertheless, she guessed that he wouldn’t be too bad, as he just thanked her for letting him bathe alone.

Still, she felt that she needed some more time to observe him.

While planning in her head, she reached out a hand and put the bucket back into her space.

“Follow me downstairs.” While speaking, she turned and headed downstairs.

Meanwhile, Qiu Lili flashed onto the roof of the stair room and stood on the edge to feel the wind. Yun Meng hopped to her side and asked with curiosity, “Why did you follow Zombie Sister Lin at the beginning?”

“Why?” Qiu Lili glanced at her.

“Because you were stronger than her, but you listened to everything she said. You two weren’t friends at the beginning, were you?” Yun Meng asked.

“About that… Actually, I wanted to follow her at the very start,” said Qiu Lili, “I followed her everywhere. After spending some time with her, I found that she’s pretty nice. Besides, she always let me do what I wanted. Now, I feel like she’s my big sister… Why do you ask me that? Don’t you forget that if it weren’t for her, I’d have dug out your zombie nucleus long ago!”

Qiu Lili wasn’t so happy about the question that Yun Meng asked, so she glared at the latter with her red eyes.

“What? I’m just curious! I’m not saying bad things about her. Why are you so angry?” Yun Meng shrugged.

“Then what do you mean? You can leave if you don’t want to follow her. But, if you dare to do evil things and hurt people in some other places, Qiaoqiao won’t let you get away… and neither will I. Without Qiaoqiao’s help, you wouldn’t be able to restore your memory, not to mention be able to talk,” Qiu Lili glared at her and said.

“Am I that kind of person… No, am I that kind of zombie? I have become a zombie, but I still can be grateful, alright? I’m not saying that I won’t follow her. It’s nice to follow her. We have food and… Well, we don’t have food. But, we can help her fight or something! Oh, I heard that she’s going to fight the Earth Dragon Base. I’m going too. It would be fun!” said Yun Meng.

“Good then!” As Yun Meng really showed no intention of leaving, Qiu Lili snorted and erased that angry look on her face.

“Um, your family… Are they still alive? Did she help you to restore your memory too?” Yun Meng asked.

“No, I always had my memory. I didn’t lose my memory when I became a zombie. All my family members have… become zombies,” Qiu Lili gazed into the vast distance and said. After becoming a zombie, she thought she would be lonely and helpless for the rest of her life. But to her surprise, she met Lin Qiao. After spending some time with the latter, she didn’t want that lonely life ever again.

She used to be a very dependent person. Living alone for five years as a zombie with memory already put her on the verge of collapse. She honestly didn’t know what she would do if that situation lasted three or five years longer.

“I guess you’re just more dependent than other people. Your time alone might have scared you. You remember your human life, so you felt extremely lonely. Fortunately, I had no memory in the past few years, and my mind was damaged. Otherwise, living alone all these years would have been a terrible thing for me!” Yun Meng sighed and continued, “But thankfully, we’ve met our Zombie Sister. Now that we’re together, we’ll never be alone again.”

“Em, yeah! And from now on, we have a home!” Qiu Lili nodded, then glanced back at those large buckets which were placed in a straight line and said, “I want to take a bath too. I’m going down to ask Qiaoqiao for some water to bathe in!”

While speaking, she suddenly turned and leaped off the roof, and then ran toward the stairs.

“Eh? Wait! I’m going too!” As Qiu Lili disappeared within a blink, Yun Meng gave a scream and jumped off the roof as well.

…

Lin Qiao guided the zombie old man to the fifth floor, then found an empty room in a relatively desolate hall. She walked in and put the bucket in the room, then walked back out and stood by the door as she looked at the zombie old man.

“Alright! Is this room good enough? None of the others asked for a room!” She said impatiently.

The zombie old man walked in and stood by the door, then leaned his head forward to look at the room from up to down, and left to right. Then, he walked in and turned to close the door.

By the door, Lin Qiao felt a little speechless.

Why on earth did she pamper this zombie old man like this?

But now, she had no time to think about that. She decided to leave him here to bathe for now.

She turned and went out of the room, only to find Xie Dong waiting outside.

“Follow me in,” while speaking, she dragged him into her space.

In the space, Xie Dong was overwhelmed by the zombie vibe in there, and had his entire body tightened. Then, he took a closer look and saw a large group of zombies in that space which had become many times larger than before.

Lin Qiao stood by the lake and started taking off her own clothes. Xie Dong first observed the surrounding environment, then turned and found that Lin Qiao was stripping herself. With confusion, he watched Lin Qiao take off her top, and then be wrapped up by streams of black mist.

The mist only covered her upper body and thighs. Her lower legs were still exposed in the air.

After stripping herself, Lin Qiao started walking down into the lake with bare feet. By the time Xie Dong realized what happened, she was already in the water.

Soon, she only had her head above the water surface as she turned and said to Xie Dong, “Take off your shirt and come down.”

Xie Dong popped his eyes, feeling a little stunned.

Why did he have to take off clothes as well?

“We still need to drink this water. Are you gonna come down with your clothes on? If I didn’t have to upgrade you at the bottom of the lake, I wouldn’t bother asking you to come down. Don’t just stand there. Come down, quickly!” Lin Qiao said to him a bit impatiently.

Xie Dong didn’t dare to move, as the energy in the lake was way too strong. The sense of crisis had been striking him the whole time. Only standing by the lake had already made him uncomfortable enough, not to mention going down into the lake.

Lin Qiao went down to the lake bottom and waited for a while, but never felt Xie Dong come down.
