Lin Qiao was unwilling to give up. As she handed the things in her hands to Wu Yueling, she again ‘said’ a few words to her.

“Hurr? Hurr?”

‘Ling Ling? Ling Ling?’?she called her name.

At that moment, she noticed a change in Wu Yueling’s expression. The little one paused for a second, then dragged her eyes away from the grass dragonfly in Lin Qiao’s hand to look at her left and then right with confusion, only too see nothing. After that, she turned back and looked at Lin Qiao in the eyes, her eyes filled with confusion.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Qiao paused briefly as well. She felt a flicker in her heart, which she suddenly realized was delight.

“Hurr, roarrrrr?” She made another series of weird sounds as she tried again to say Wu Yueling’s name. ‘Ling Ling, can you hear me?’ she asked.

This time, Wu Yueling’s reaction was unexpected.

After hearing Lin Qiao’s voice again, she stared straight at the former as her expression seemed to freeze. She kept staring at Lin Qiao without making any sound, or even having any thought in her mind.

Lin Qiao was confused.

Had Wu Yueling heard her or not? Why had her expression suddenly frozen like that? Had her voice scared her?

From Lu Tianyu’s memories, Lin Qiao had learned that this child was an introvert who never liked to talk. With the exception of her father, she wouldn’t let anyone get near her.

She was kidnapped by Lu Tianyu because the latter had used Wu Chengyue as an excuse. Lu Tianyu took advantage of the other’s carelessness and tricked the little girl into a corner, then directly knocked her out and carried her away.

As for how a base leader’s daughter could be kidnapped so easily, the sole reason was that Lu Tianyu had a powerful person backing her—another base leader had been helping her.

Wu Yueling’s stiff expression relaxed quickly, but her eyes remained vigilant as she gazed at Lin Qiao. She could still see the grass dragonfly in the latter’s hand.

As the child focused on the grass dragonfly, Lin Qiao immediately seized the opportunity to hand it to her.

By now, Wu Yueling was no longer afraid of Lin Qiao. She had seen a lot of zombies, and they were almost always ugly and gross. However, as long as this zombie didn’t try to bite and eat her, she didn’t care.

Looking at the grass dragonfly that Lin Qiao had handed to her, Wu Yueling now understood that it was meant for her. She remained motionless for a while, then slowly reached out her hand from the blanket and carefully took it from the former’s hand.

Lin Qiao then slowly placed the funnel near Wu Yueling’s mouth and beckoned her to drink a little. The water had already begun to seep out from the bottom of the funnel.

However, Wu Yueling only looked at the water silently without opening her mouth to drink it, but not avoiding it either.

Lin Qiao could only keep patiently holding the funnel, afraid to put it down.

After about twenty seconds by Lin Qiao’s count, Wu Yueling finally made a move.

She lightly and tentatively leaned her mouth toward the funnel in Lin Qiao’s hand, opening her mouth just a little to take a sip of the water in the funnel. About half of the water had already seeped out by that time. She then discovered that the water was quite sweet, so she continued drinking it.

By the time the child had finally drunk all the water in the funnel, Lin Qiao felt she should have had sweat trickling down her face, even though zombies didn’t sweat.

‘Phew! The little princess finally drank some water! My heart is so tired!’?Lin Qiao complained silently.

But then, another problem occurred to her. By this time, the child couldn’t feel hunger anymore as she had been starving for too long, but the water she just drank was likely to re-ignite that feeling of hunger.

After the girl had finished the water in the leaf funnel, Lin Qiao turned around and fetched another funnel-full of water for the child to drink.

After watching her finish the water again, Lin Qiao finally sighed with relief. She put the funnel in her hand, then took a step to the side and left the space.

Wu Yueling’s eyes widened as she watched Lin Qiao disappear right in front of her. She stared at the spot where Lin Qiao had disappeared from for a while, then suddenly turned her head and began searching around her.

She searched the surrounding area with her eyes, but saw no trace of that weird zombie. There was no one but herself in that place. It was all quiet in there, without even a gust of wind to disturb the environment.

Suddenly, a strong and uneasy feeling emerged in Wu Yueling’s heart. She opened her eyes even wider and tried very hard to search around in panic, but still found nothing.

There was not a trace of that zombie!

Her round eyes suddenly turned red, but she didn’t cry out loud. Instead, she bit her lip tightly and gripped the grass dragonfly that Lin Qiao gave her, again curling up her body.

She didn’t notice that both her hunger and thirst had actually been satiated after she drank the lake water that Lin Qiao gave her. Her physical condition wasn’t as bad as Lin Qiao had thought. On the contrary, her energy was now slowly being restored.

...

Lin Qiao came out of the space and reappeared in the building. She sniffed at the air, sensing a fruity aroma from a long distance away. After that, she turned around immediately and walked toward the stairs.

She suddenly discovered that her sense of smell was getting sharper and sharper.

‘Holy heavens! Am I turning into a dog? It seems that us zombies have quite some useful skills!’?She ran down the stairs at high speed while thinking this.

She just wanted to find some food for the little one as quickly as possible. If the little one died before she could send her back to her father, she would become an unforgivable sinner.

Thinking of this made her run even faster. At first, she could cover only a few stairs with one step, but later on, she began jumping down and could almost cover a whole staircase with just a few steps while leaving behind a swishing noise.

She also noticed that her pace had regulated and was becoming faster and faster. She found that her limbs were nimbler and her legs stronger, yet much lighter than before.

She leaped down from the fifth or sixth stair, feeling absolutely no impact as she landed on the hard ground. By this time, she felt that she was as agile and light as a cat.

It had taken her a long time to climb these stairs, but by leaping down swiftly, she was soon out of the building.

She looked at the sky and found that it was still dark. However, she knew that dawn was coming soon.

She turned around and ran as fast as she could in the direction of the fruity aroma.

Lin Qiao was an impatient person, and therefore, she would never walk when she could run. At times when she couldn’t run, she would walk fairly fast with giant steps.

She was running through the darkness of the night once again while trying to find out how fast she could run.

She focused her eyes on her legs and the road while listening to the slight whooshing noise caused by the wind blowing across her ears.

If anyone else was here, he or she would have been shocked by seeing how fast she was. She ran like a bolt of lightning, and her speed had already exceeded that of record-breaking Olympic athletes many times over.

However, Lin Qiao knew nothing of this. She only knew that the longer she ran, the more exhilarated she became. She felt that she could keep running forever as long as she didn’t plan to stop.
