The others looked around as well and found that Lin Qiao had disappeared indeed.

“Did he go back into his space?” Du Yuanxing wondered aloud, “Great Captain, do you have any idea what he did to you earlier?”

Lin Feng shook his head with confusion, then asked, “Didn’t you see how he saved me? I was unconscious. How can I possibly know anything?”

“He brought you into his space,” Lin Hao said. “So, we don’t know what he did to you. He didn’t ask our permission when taking you. Instead, he just stole you away.”

Somehow, Lin Feng felt that Lin Hao made him sound like a lifeless object. So, he looked at Lin Hao with a strange expression and asked, “He stole… well, he sneakily took me away. Didn’t you see it? Did you just let him take me?”

He suddenly felt lucky that the zombie didn’t eat him or dig his brains out. If anything like that happened, he wouldn’t even have a chance to come out of that space again. Thinking these, a wave of coldness spread to his entire body from his spine.

As the others were prepared to answer his question, a figure suddenly showed up.

It was Lin Qiao, holding a cup of water. She walked over and handed the water to Du Yuanxing, who was the nearest to her, then pointed at Yuan Tianxing.

“Is this for him? What kind of water is this?” Du Yuanxing took over the cup of water without knowing why. He didn’t give the water to Lin Hao, but glanced at the others and asked.

He surely didn’t dare to give the water directly to his Deputy Chief, because he wouldn’t know what to do if anything happened to Yuan Tianxing after the latter drank the water.

Lin Qiao stood beside Du Yuanxing, took out the notepad to write.

Seeing her coming over, all the others except Long Qingying automatically took two steps backward to get away from her.

Lin Qiao didn’t care. She was a zombie, so it was already very nice for these people to let her get so close, and it was completely normal for them to want to keep a distance from her. If she didn’t save Lin Feng earlier, these people might not be facing her so peacefully.

She saw them as her family, but they saw her as a weird and dangerous zombie.

She wrote some words, then instead of ripping off the paper, she raised the notepad to show Du Yuanxing the note.

‘I didn’t do anything to Lin Feng but give him a few cups of water like this.’

Both Du Yuanxing and Mrs. Lin, who stood beside him, read the note.

“This wasn’t isn’t from your lake, is it?” Du Yuanxing knew that Lin Qiao had a lake in her space. Except for the lake, no other water source existed in her space.

He thought of the lake and Yang Cheng’s death. The water had soaked a dead man and a dead zombie…

Du Yuanxing glanced at the others and felt that he shouldn’t mention it. Earlier on, he had drunk some of the lake water too.

‘But, can the water really cure internal injuries?’ He wondered.

According to Lin Qiao, Lin Feng was now able to stand up and walk around only because he had drunk a few cups of lake water. However, Du Yuanxing didn’t want to believe it. He thought that maybe the zombie had added something in the water.

Lin Qiao nodded at him, then put down the notepad. She had told them that the water had a healing power, but she didn’t know if these people would believe her. If they refused to believe her, she would have to get Yuan Tianxing into her space to help him.

At the moment, Mrs. Lin was wearing a bewildered look. She felt that this zombie’s handwriting was so familiar, especially the name of Lin Feng that he wrote.

Du Yuanxing thought for a moment, then handed the water to Lin Hao and said, “Take a look. I think the water is fine, if it’s from that lake.”

Lin Hao took over the water, then dipped his finger into it while asking curiously, “Does he have a lake in his space? How big if his space?”

Du Yuanxing spent a short while thinking, then responded with, “About three kilometers square. The lake is as large as a football field.”

Lin Hao dipped some water from the cup, then rubbed it with his thumb and forefinger. After that, he showed a confused look and said, “Eh? I sensed something different from the water, but I can’t tell what.”

His words immediately caught the others’ attention and made them look at him.

“What is it?” Asked Lin Feng.

Lin Hao put the cup under his nose, then closed his eyes to sniff it. Afterward, he reopened his eyes and said, “It’s filled with energy…Gentle energy. I don’t know what it is.”

The others looked at him with curiosity. “You don’t know what kind of energy it is? Is it harmful?” Someone asked.

“Energy? I’ve drunk some of the lake water earlier, but, why didn’t I feel any energy?” said Du Yuanxing with surprise.

Lin Hao thought for a moment, then took a sip of the water. He held the water in his mouth to feel it with his tongue, then sensed a mild stream of energy flowing within his mouth. There were no wounds to be healed inside his mouth, but that energy made him feel very comfortable.

He swallowed that energy, and felt that his esophagus and stomach seemed to have been massaged by someone. He guessed that he would be needing a toilet very soon.

Lin Hao nodded, then said, “It’s not harmful. It’s good actually.”

Next, he poured the rest of the water slowly into Yuan Tianxing’s mouth.

After Lin Hao gave the water to Yuan Tianxing, Lin Qiao walked over, took the cup away from Lin Hao’s hand, then stepped back and disappeared again.

While observing Yuan Tianxing’s reaction, the others glanced at where Lin Qiao disappeared from time to time.

“Has he entered his space again?” Asked Lin Wenwen.

“You said that he has a large lake, so his space is even larger, right? What else does he have in there?” Cheng Wangxue asked. At the moment, Lin Feng was holding her, as he had found that his wife’s foot was injured, and that she was nearly disabled from standing.

“Yeah! It’s the first time for me to meet a zombie with humanity. And, why did he help us?” Lin Feng asked.

“He said that he used to be your friend and subordinate. Don’t you remember him?” Du Yuanxing said. Lin Feng looked at him confusedly and asked, “My friend and subordinate? But, I don’t remember knowing a zombie like him.”

“Eh?” Du Yuanxing looked back at Lin Feng, also confusedly, “I guess he meant before he turned into a zombie? You had so many soldiers under your command, so perhaps, you just don’t remember him.”

Lin Feng stared at Du Yuanxing while trying very hard to recall that zombie’s face. He tried to fix the zombie’s face in his head, like removing the scars on his face and turning his eyes back normal. But still, he felt that he had never met such a person.

While doing that, Lin Feng suddenly realized that the face that he pictured in his head was a woman’s face.

But before the woman’s face faded in his mind, the zombie showed up again, and the cup in her hand was refilled with water.
