“Aren’t you mad at Daddy anymore?” He asked with surprise. But this time, Wu Yueling didn’t stick her head out or gave any response.

Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then continued, “Aren’t you gonna take a shower before going to sleep? Your Zombie Mom wouldn’t like you if you stink.”

After saying that, he sat there silently to wait for Wu Yueling’s reaction.

As he expected, Wu Yueling stayed quiet for a few seconds, then started moving. She first crawled around under the blanket mysteriously, then lifted the blanket and sat up to look at her father expectantly.

Wu Chengyue looked at her and raised his brows. He couldn’t help but again feel that his daughter was going to abandon him.

As Wu Chengyue didn’t move, Wu Yueling stood up from the bed and put her arms around his neck while pointing at the bathroom. Wu Chengyue had no choice but nod. “Alright, alright, we’ll give you a shower now. The water is warm enough to wash you, little piglet!”

While speaking, he carried Wu Yueling up and headed toward the bathroom. He didn’t notice that Wu Yueling, whose head was on his shoulder, had her eyes fixed on the head of the bed, glowing brightly.

…

In the space, Lin Qiao spent about two minutes working by herself, then abruptly shouted the group of zombies out of the three small spaces.

“Come over here. You haven’t been working for days. Come here and do this.”

Hearing that there was work to do, those zombies had their eyes glow. Having work to do meant they would be able to drink that water again.

They looked forward to Lin Qiao assigning tasks to them all day long, as if they were all addicted to work. Only by working for Lin Qiao they could earn some lake water to drink. They felt tortured when facing the lake every day without being allowed to drink from it.

They didn’t dare to approach the lake. Not to mention if Lin Qiao would suddenly show up and crumble their heads, the zombie dog would definitely crush them with a claw.

Therefore, they had been waiting obediently the whole time. And finally, Lin Qiao gave her order.

Once Lin Qiao finished talking, those zombies rushed out of the small spaces excitedly. Lin Qiao spent a few seconds looking at them silently, then said, “You don’t look like zombies at all!”

The seventeen level-four zombies stood in front of her in a line, waiting for her to give out the task.

Lin Qiao pointed at a few of them and said, “You, come out!”

Then, she taught them how to sort those strawberry plants. After that, she picked a few other zombies and guided them to the piles of potatoes, teaching them how to pick out the sprouted ones.

Lin Feng and his people didn’t eat all the potatoes and pumpkins that she had collected before. A small pile of them was still in her space.

Pumpkins could be stored for a long time, but potatoes could not.

Lin Qiao asked Mrs. Lin and the others to keep the seeds when they cooked pumpkins.

She soaked those pumpkin seeds in the lake water. Those seeds didn’t rot, but slowly absorbed the energy in the water and grew a stronger and stronger vitality.

Some seeds had even grown out thin and long roots in the water. Lin Qiao believed that those seeds would be growing speedily once they were planted in soil.

She didn’t put those potatoes in the water, but still, they absorbed the energy in the air and sprouted.

Normally, sprouted potatoes were inedible, but Lin Qiao discovered that some of those potatoes in her space were still edible as long as the sprouts were shorter than ten centimeters.

Lin Qiao told those zombies to pick out the potatoes which had long sprouts and put them in some baskets nearby. She had collected those baskets from a factory days ago when she was outside and looking for level-four zombies.

The potatoes which were in the bottom of the pile had even grown leaves. The sprouts and leaves could not grow healthily as they were pressed down by other potatoes, and some of them were stuck out of the pile slantingly.

Lin Qiao let the spirit-powered zombie lead the potato-picking squad because she knew that the young spirit-powered male zombie could understand her better.

She gave those zombies many baskets; some baskets were for the sprouted potatoes, and some were for the potatoes which hadn’t sprouted.

She planned to bring the potatoes which had grown long sprouts out of the space and plant them in the fields. To do that, she needed two people to loosen the soil in that field. During the past few days, those zombies had dug many holes to look for mutated sweet potatoes, but the soil in the untouched areas was still hard.

She thought for a moment, then decided to let Xie Dong and Shen Yujen do it.

The two of them wouldn’t get tired anyway. If they worked from morning to night, the job would only take them a couple of days.

However, they were in the hotel at the moment. Should she sneak back to bring them out?

Thinking of the hotel, she was reminded of Wu Yueling and the strange feeling that she had earlier. Lin Qiao wondered if the latter liked the grass doll that she made for her.

While thinking about the little one, Lin Qiao started to get a little worried. She decided to go back and check on the kid again. As long as she didn’t show her face, Wu Chengyue wouldn’t be able to do anything to her anyway.

She arranged works for all the zombies in her space and then said to them, “Go back to that small space when you’re done. I’ll give you the water when I’m back.”

The group of zombies turned and glanced at her. After that, she exited the space and sneakily headed back to the hotel.

It was late at night, but Lin Qiao still didn’t dare to show up. After all, some people could sense her vibe without seeing her face. She had no choice but to stay invisible, because it was the only way to make her vibe disappear.

She quickly returned to the hotel, then first knocked on Xie Dong’s door.

Before long, Xie Dong opened the door to find no one out there. As he wondered who knocked on the door and prepared to close it, a hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder and pushed him back inside.

Xie Dong immediately figured out who it was. He took two steps backward, then closed the door. In the next moment, Lin Qiao dragged him into the space.

She stood in front of him and said, “Tomorrow, you and Shen Yujen need to go to the field to loosen the soil. I’m planning to plant those potatoes in that field.”

While speaking, she pointed at the pile of potatoes which was being sorted by those zombies.

Xie Dong was puzzled for a second, then nodded.

Lin Qiao continued, “Go and wait in the building. I’ll bring Shen Yujen in.” After saying that, she prepared to flash out of the space. However, Xie Dong abruptly raised a hand and stopped her.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Qiao turned to him and asked.

Xie Dong took out his notepad and pen, then wrote down a line and showed it to her.

‘Wu Chengyue has been looking for you out there. He wants your help. You seem to be avoiding him. Why?”

“You can tell?” said Lin Qiao awkwardly, “Alright, you’re right. I don’t want to face him now. But, I guess he wants me to help with the little one’s condition. Later on, I’ll secretly give her an observation.”

Xie Dong nodded knowingly, and then Lin Qiao turned and left.

She headed to Shen Yujen’s room, but before knocking on the door, she paused with a weird expression. Then, she crossed her arms and decided not to knock the door, as she didn’t want to interrupt the two in the room.
