Chapter 220: A Wave Of Coldness

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

‘This kid’s Dad is out there. Do me a favor, send her to her Dad’—Lin Qiao wrote. Lu Tianyi and the others glanced at each other, their eyes showing a surprised look, “Chief Wu is outside? Is his army here too?”

Lin Qiao shook her head, looking at them as she said, “I…didn’t…see…”

She couldn’t tell them that Wu Chengyue was hunting the thunder-powered zombie king alone. She had already stolen the zombie nucleus, so if she told them that, they would figure out what had exactly happened.

If these people accidentally let Wu Chengyue know that it was her who had stolen his zombie nucleus…she would surely suffer!

Kong Qingming abruptly turned to Lin Qiao in a weird way and said, “Since her father is out there, you can directly send her out, can’t you?” He looked at Lin Qiao and felt that as long as she kept her sunglasses on, no one would find out what she really was.

“What I’m more curious about is how did the kid meet you?” Lu Tianyi asked curiously.

Lin Qiao wrote—’She was captured by the other level-six zombie.’

She didn’t write down the whole story, but the group of people had figured it out.

Lin Qiao felt like laughing at this point. Earlier on, she had made up another level-six zombie, but just now, one really showed up.

“Eh? You mean the one you met earlier?”

Xie Dong looked at Lin Qiao with surprise. He didn’t think that there was really another zombie.

“Damn! Can zombie kings and queens be seen everywhere now?” Huang Shou popped his eyes and said. Kong Qingming rested his chin on a palm, looking at Lin Qiao as he said, “So you stole the kid from that level-six zombie? You do like stealing from level-six zombies.”

Lin Qiao glanced at him, but didn’t say anything.

Lu Tianyi nodded and said, “We can send the kid to Chief. But, I think we should wait until our clothes dry.” While speaking, he turned to the others, who had their upper bodies bared. The others didn’t notice it before, but being reminded by Lu Tianyi, they instantly felt cold.

Lin Qiao quickly glanced at them, then carefully observed their bodies.

‘Well, not bad. Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming are both tall and fit, with wide shoulders, slim waists, and round butts…’

‘Em, their bodies should feel nice. Young people do have nice bodies!’

Being gazed by Lin Qiao suddenly, the group of people felt even colder. After taking a few quick glances, Lin Qiao stopped looking at them and wrote—’It’s raining out there, so it should be cold. I’ll try finding some clean clothes for you.’

As she turned around and prepared to leave, someone pulled her trousers.

She paused and lowered her head to find that the little one, who was holding the grey rabbit, was standing by her side.

“Eh?” When did the little one get off bed? Why did she pull her trousers? Did she recognize her?

Wu Yueling was holding the rabbit with one hand, Lin Qiao’s trousers with the other, and looking at the latter confusedly. She still didn’t recognize Lin Qiao. However, she sensitively caught the familiar feeling that the latter gave her.

There were strangers in the space, so Wu Yueling quickly ran to Lin Qiao’s side, as she felt safer around the latter.

The others all looked at Wu Yueling with curiosity. Lu Tianyi came over, squatting before her. With a smile, he said to Wu Yueling, “Ling Ling, do you remember me? We’ve met each other before.”

Once Lu Tianyu approached, Wu Yueling stepped back, hiding behind Lin Qiao. Hearing Lu Tianyi call her nickname, she tilted her head to look at him with one eye.

Later on, Kong Qingming came over as well, and Huang Shou followed behind him. As more and more people got close to her, Wu Yueling hid behind Lin Qiao again, without even showing half of her eye.

Her dad had told her to stay away from shirtless people!

Seeing her reaction, Lu Tianyi turned to Kong Qingming and Huang Shou, complaining, “There too many of us. She’ll be frightened. And, can you topless people stop walking around in front of the little girl?”

Kong Qingming turned to look at him and asked, “Are you wearing any top?”

At that moment, Lin Qiao waved at them to signal them to leave while saying, “Go…”

Then, she took Wu Yueling’s hand and brought her to the furniture area, putting her on a couch. After that, she squatted and said to her, “Your…Dad…is…outside…I’ll…let…them…”

She paused briefly as she pointed at Lu Tianyi and the others, then continued, “…take…you…to…him…”

Hearing that her Dad was outside, Wu Yueling’s eyes glowed immediately. She happily looked at Lin Qiao, hoping that she could bring her to her father sooner.

“It’s…raining…outside…You’ll…see…your…father…when…the…rain…has…stopped…” Lin Qiao continued. She talked very slowly, but Wu Yueling patiently waited for her to finish.

Hearing the word ‘rain’, Wu Yueling was suddenly depressed. She took her hand away from Lin Qiao’s trousers, then began petting the rabbit. Sensing that the child was feeling low, Lin Qiao got a little curious. However, she didn’t ask any question, and said, “Don’t…be…afraid.”

While speaking, she reached a hand toward Wu Yueling’s head. As the kid didn’t show any repulsion, she put the hand on her head. No one noticed that a vine was quietly reaching out of the water, toward the little one.

Lin Qiao considered if she should go out to find clothes for this group of men. They might catch a cold if she made them wear wet clothes, but letting this group of shirtless men walk about in front of the kid was inappropriate.

However, if she left, the little one might get nervous again. The kid needed someone to rely on.

She turned to look at the others and suddenly saw the stove by the lakeside, as well as the pile of dry wood next to it.

Earlier on, Lin Qiao brought that dry wood in from the outside, so that Junjun could cook for Tongtong. As coal and natural gas didn’t exist, so firewood was the only choice.

There was plenty of firewood near the stove.

‘Yeah, they can start a fire to warm themselves and dry their clothes!’ She thought. With that idea, she suddenly whistled toward Xie Dong, which caught the attention of all.

Ignoring the others, Lin Qiao waved at Xie Dong and signaled him to come over. In response, he promptly walked toward her and looked at her without knowing what she wanted.

Lin Qiao took over the clipboard and wrote—’See, there’s some firewood. Build a fire to dry their clothes. I won’t go out to look for clothes.’

Xie Dong turned back and found the pile of firewood which had been ignored by them the whole time. In fact, if they started a fire, those clothes would soon be dried.

He nodded and turned to walk to that direction while waving at Huang Shou.
