Chapter 64: The Recovery Of Her Body

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

Lin Qiao lowered her head, stared at her own legs in disbelief. The skin of her legs was as pale and bluish as before. Even though the skin color looked a little scary, her skin was smooth and tight, and her legs were long and straight.

However, the few bone-deep wounds caused by zombie claws and teeth on her thighs and lower legs, were all gone!

In the wound areas, her flesh and skin which was bitten off by zombies had grown back. But, the skin in these areas wasn’t the same as the rest of her skin. Her old skin was bluish pale, yet the new skin was pink, looking like the skin of a normal human being’s healed wound after its scab fell off.

The wounds on her thighs didn’t heal as well as those on her lower legs did, but had changed quite obviously as well. The black and dead tissues in those wounds had all fallen off, and white muscle fibers had grown out of the broken muscles.

She turned her eyes to her stomach and found that the hole in her stomach was still there, with her intestines still torn. The wounds on her chest didn’t seem to change either.

She raised a hand to touch her face, and found that it was still filled with bumps and hollows.

Then, she lowered her head again to check her legs, and confirmed that those wounds on her legs were truly gone.

She really wanted to study the changes in her body now, but standing here and letting the little girl watch her naked body didn’t seem to be appropriate. She wasn’t a pervert after all!

Therefore, she walked to the lakeside and gestured for Wu Yueling to not look.

Wu Yueling was curiously looking at her body, and wasn’t scared by it. Knowing that Lin Qiao didn’t want her to keep staring at her, she obediently raised a little hand to cover her eyes.

However, as her hand was only big enough to cover one eye, she kept staring at Lin Qiao with the uncovered eye.

Lin Qiao sighed, then moved swiftly. She picked some clothes which were ripped off from robbers, then fled into the small space as fast as she could.

Lin Qiao was incredibly fast, so Wu Yueling saw nothing but a figure flash across the air before finding that she had disappeared without a trace.

Lin Qiao was now able to sense her space and almost everything in it, but she couldn’t control the things here.

After quickly putting those clothes on, she walked out of the small space to the furniture area to check on Wu Yueling, and saw that she had gone to chase the little rabbit after she disappeared. She didn’t try to catch the girl’s attention again.

She sat on the couch and rolled up her pants to carefully check her lower legs.

She touched her skin and found that her calf muscles had actually regained the tonicity. Before, her calf muscles were so dead that the wouldn’t rebound when she pressed them, which was a normal body condition of zombies.

Zombies wouldn’t die when they suffered physical injuries, but those injuries would never heal. Only the zombies at level-six or above could have a little self-healing power, but they needed to eat a giant amount of human hearts, blood, and flesh to gain that power.

However, new flesh had grown out in Lin Qiao’s old wounds, and that wasn’t something a simple self-healing power could do. Although the recovery began with her lower legs, it seemed to have happened to her thighs too. So, would it happen to the rest of her body as well?

She pulled down her pants, then turned her head to look at the center of the lake.

She knew that the changes happened to her body were caused by the glowing green vines in the water. But, she didn’t know if that healing energy belonged to the lake water itself or something in the lake.

What exactly was the lake water? And, where did this space come from?

She had no idea if the recovery of her body was a good thing or not, or what would she become in the end. Would she become a living human being again? Or, would she become some strange creature?

She thought that was way too unbelievable, but judging by the current condition of her lower legs, she felt that wasn’t impossible.

Even though her lower legs now had new muscles, she still had no feelings, not even when she rubbed her legs or poked her skin with her sharp nails.

The energy in the lake had altered her body. She always felt that the lake water had magical effects, but never had she thought that it could turn dead muscles alive, and the recovery could happen this scarily fast.

Lin Qiao had experienced a lot, but she was really shocked by that.

‘Damn! I’m not living in a fantasy novel where I can find magical herbs to heal my wounds, am I? I’m in a post-apocalyptic world!’ She said to herself.

Even though some of her wounds had healed, Lin Qiao couldn’t tell for sure if the zombie virus in her body was killed, or it remained existing inside her.

And, if the energy in the lake could turn her back into what Lu Tianyu looked like before she died…

Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes.

If that happened, the people from the Sea City Base would definitely recognize her, and she would fall in trouble! Even if she avoided offending the others, the others would find her and try to kill her, wouldn’t they? After all, that woman had done so many evil things when she was alive!

Thinking of this, Lin Qiao suddenly felt that her head was aching! She should really stay away from Sea City as she had planned!

If the little one’s dad recognized her, awful things would definitely happen!

Recalling what Lu Tianyu had done to Wu Chengyue before she died, Lin Qiao wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. ‘Damn, why do I have to come back to life in this suicidal woman’s body?’ She wondered.

Earlier on, she walked down to the center of the lake unwittingly, as if she was summoned to there. So, she wondered if that lake had a soul.

Anyhow, the changes that had happened to her body were good so far. Would her entire body be healed if she stayed longer in the water? But, she didn’t want to try it again, because her heart was still fluttering with fear caused by that horrible pain she suffered down there,. Therefore, she decided to wait for a while instead of torturing herself.

Besides, she didn’t go into the lake on her own initiative, but was summoned to the lake this time. So, she didn’t know if the energy in the lake would react when she went down there on her own. That needed to be verified.

She thought for a while, then decided to give up on studying the source of energy in the lake. Then, she closed her eyes to see the outside world and sense the location of the level-five zombie.

Once she started doing that, she found that her sensations had grown stronger. Before, she could only see the area where she entered her space from; but now, her view seemed to become higher and broader.

She could even sense the level-five zombie’s vibe and the vibes of some other creatures.

She began to wonder how she could go out invisibly and sneak away from under that level-five zombie’s eyes.

Right at that moment, she heard a voice from her heart telling her that she was able to go out, as long as she kept her eyes closed.

After that, she somehow followed the voice and said ‘out’ in her heart while keeping her eyes closed.
