Junjun unfolded the paper to read the few lines written on it.
'I have some strawberries in my space which edible for human beings. I'll go pick some now. And, the water that the boy drank earlier on came from the lake. It has a healing effect for the boy, as well as for zombies. You can go to the lake to fetch some water to drink. It'll improve your body condition a lot. '
As Lin Qiao went to the strawberry field and picked a few large strawberries, Wu Yueling started following her again, with the rabbit held in her arms. She didn't know why Lin Qiao let another strange zombie in, but she saw that they had brought the little boy in as well.
Maybe because some strangers had come to this space which used to belong to only Lin Qiao and herself, Wu Yueling felt insecure again, so she wanted to follow the former around.
Therefore, she ran to Lin Qiao when she saw her come out of the small space and walk toward the strawberry field.
After picking a few large strawberries and putting them in the bowl, Lin Qiao glanced at Wu Yueling, who had run up behind her, then headed to the lakeside.
A while later, she sent the washed strawberries to the small space.
Junjun was sitting on the bed. She fixed her eyes on the bowl which was held in Lin Qiao's hand when she walked in. The strawberries in the bowl were exceptionally large. She couldn't see the color of these strawberries, but she knew that they were mutant at a first glance due to their abnormally large size.
She looked at Lin Qiao with hesitation, as she didn't know if she should feed the boy these weird-looking fruits.
Seeing the look in her eyes, Lin Qiao knew how she felt without needing to sense her thoughts. She pointed at Wu Yueling, who was on the outside, then wrote on the paper—'That child has been eating these the whole time. You don't need to worry. You can also go out to see if she's eating or not. '
Junjun glanced at the bowl of strawberries in Lin Qiao's hand and thought for a moment, then carried the little boy and stood up to walk out of the small space and see Wu Yueling. As Lin Qiao said, she saw that Wu Yueling was eating a strawberry.
After that, she turned back relievedly and walked up to Lin Qiao.
The little boy hadn't left Junjun's arms since he woke up. He put his arms around her neck, not seeming to mind her dirty clothes and the blood stain on her shirt at all.
However, he was scared when he turned his head and saw Lin Qiao's damaged face. He immediately turned back to cradle his head on Junjun's shoulder.
"Em..." While doing that, he began weeping, but didn't dare to cry loudly.
Lin Qiao didn't know what to say as she accidentally scared the boy.
'Why're you crying? I don't want to look like this! This body belonged to someone else! I found myself like this when I woke up! That's not my fault!' She complained silently.
Junjun felt a heartache once she heard the boy weep. However, she didn't know what to do to comfort him other than simply pat him on his back.
Lin Qiao had no other choice but to hand Junjun the bowl and walk out. ?But before leaving, she left Junjun another note—?'You stay here for now. I'll go out to drive. If you need me, just roar. I'll hear you. '
After reading the note, Junjun glanced at the strawberries in her hand, then at the little boy in her arms.
She hesitated for a while, then decided to let the boy eat these strawberries. After all, she had seen the little girl eating it just now, and nothing seemed to happen to her at all.
She gently touched the little boy, then held the bowl up to his face.
The little boy sneakily glanced back. After finding out that Lin Qiao was no longer here, he raised his head and was attracted by the sweet aroma of the strawberries.
Lin Qiao exited her space with Wu Yueling, then went downstairs. Those ordinary zombies hadn't gone far, and all turned back when they smelled the kid's scent.
"Roar!" Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and gave them a deep roar, her voice containing a strong warning.
Hearing Lin Qiao's voice, those zombies automatically drew back. The timider ones turned and left instantly, but some still stayed there, eyes fixed on Wu Yueling as they seemed unwilling to give up on eating her.
Lin Qiao walked down the stairs, and those zombies followed while surrounding her and Wu Yueling, reluctant to leave.
She came down to the first floor and walked out of the iron gate toward the car which she had parked by the entrance of the building. Then, she opened the door of the front seat, prepared to put the little one into the car.
Suddenly, a figure leaped down from the second floor of another building, swiftly darting toward her on all fours like an animal.
She quickly turned and shielded Wu Yueling behind her legs. Right when the figure pounced on her, she swung her arm and popped her claws.
Puff! She gripped that creature's face with her fingers spread, and her sharp claws had sunken deep into its temples.
"Roar!" A weird raging roar was heard from that creature in her hand. Lin Qiao grasped its head and even lifted up it up, so its toes were barely touching the ground. However, it didn't surrender, fiercely waving its limbs and trying to scratch Lin Qiao.
Before its roar faded, a clear puffing noise could be heard as Lin Qiao clenched her fingers and crushed the head of this zombie, which seemed to have entered level-three not long ago.
In fact, Lin Qiao had no idea that she had such a great grip strength. She was disgusted by the stench that came from that zombie's mouth, so she unwittingly put forth her strength through her fingers. Yet unexpectedly, she crushed its head directly.
Thud! She dug out the nucleus in that zombie's head with the other hand while having a look of disgust in her face, then swung her arm and threw the zombie head far away.
Witnessing this, the other zombies which surrounded her closely all stepped back, not daring to approach again. They were probably scared by the indescribably fierce vibe that Lin Qiao generated when she crushed the zombie's head just now.
Lin Qiao had no idea that she just had generated a strong and dangerous vibe just now. She put the zombie nucleus on her palm, which turned into powders in the next second and drifted away.
A faint warmth flew across her body, then returning to her brain. Nothing happened after that. ?Simply speaking, the energy contained in that zombie nucleus was too little for her to even sense it!
After she finished off the zombie neatly and quickly, Lin Qiao wiped her hand on the back of her own cloth, then turned to put Wu Yueling into the car and rub her back conveniently. The girl's body was a little stiff already.
Judging by her glazed expression and stiff body, she was frightened by what had happened just now.
Lin Qiao put her on the front seat, fastened the safety belt for her, then closed the car door. After that, she walked to the other side of the car, opened the door of the driver's seat, and sat inside.
Then she started the car, turned it around, and drove out of this housing estate. But as she prepared to leave this area, she suddenly spotted a convenience store. So, she stopped again, took Wu Yueling into the store, and collected all useful things in it before driving on.
