Wu Yueling didn’t respond, but turned her head to an empty area.
“Ling Ling?” Wu Chengyue didn’t give up. He shook her gently and called her name.
Xiao Yunlong stood up and circled to before Wu Yueling’s face, then squatted and prepared to talk to her. However, before he could start, she turned again without saying a word to him.
Xiao Yunlong felt speechless. ‘Alright, the same old Ling Ling again,’ he thought.
Seeing that his daughter had turned back into that familiar state, Wu Chengyue sighed with disappointment and said, “I wonder how she got along with that zombie. That creature was so ugly, but Ling Ling didn’t seem to be afraid of her.”
Speaking of that weird zombie, Xiao Yunlong got interested. He stood up and walked back to his seat, then sat down. “Eh? Tell me about that zombie. Earlier on, you just roughly mentioned it to me. I don’t know how that non-human-eating zombie looked like yet. How ugly is she?” He asked.
When Wu Chengyue returned to the base, he only told Xiao Yunlong that it was a zombie who took Ling Ling away, but didn’t mention anything else.
He held Wu Yueling back in his arm, then looked at Xiao Yunlong and said, “Her face was covered in an afro, so I couldn’t see it clearly. But, I saw the scars on his face, as large as her eyes, covering her entire face. She was wearing a clean military training suit, looking quite capable. Of course, to notice that, you need to forget about her face and afro.”
Xiao Yunlong pictured that zombie in his mind and felt a little weird.
“You turned her hair into an afro! No wonder she took your daughter so far away! I told you that she had no bad intentions. Perhaps, she was sending Ling Ling back to you at that time.” Said Xiao Yunlong.
Wu Chengyue smiled and responded with, “Back then, I just attacked automatically. I didn’t mean to hurt her. But, I didn’t think that she’d hold the grudge. She even made me apologize.”
“What? Apologize? She made you apologize? Are you sure that you’re talking about a zombie? Not a human being?” Xiao Yunlong gave a start and asked. He thought he had misheard.
Seeing the confused look in Xiao Yunlong’s face, Wu Chengyue nodded smilingly. Xiao Yunlong again felt speechless.
“How did she tell you to… apologize? Can you understand zombie roars?” Xiao Yunlong recovered from the shock and asked in surprise. While speaking, he was also picturing that zombie roaring at Wu Chengyue to make him apologize.
He wanted to laugh, but couldn’t tell why, so the look on his face had become very strange. Seeing that strange look, Wu Chengyue said, “Just laugh if you want to. Why do you have to keep a straight face?”
Xiao Yunlong made a fist before his mouth of cover his expression, then said, “Em-hem… I was just picturing that zombie roaring at you. That’s a little weird. So, how did you know that she wanted you to apologize?”
Wu Chengyue glanced at him with a smile and responded, “Who told you that she roared? She can write!”
“Em, write? That sounds more like it… Eh? Wait a moment! She can write?” Xiao Yunlong exclaimed as he registered the meaning behind the words.
‘Damn! Write? Is that still a zombie?’ Xiao Yunlong thought.
“Isn’t she a zombie?” Xiao Yunlong spent two seconds to process what he had heard, and then paused briefly while staring at Wu Chengyue in disbelief. He felt that it wasn’t right, so he asked, “It’s not a joke, is it?”
Wu Chengyue gave him a mysterious smile and just shrugged. ‘She is a zombie, but she still has her human memories and humanity!’ he thought.
Xiao Yunlong’s face was still filled with disbelief. He stared at Wu Chengyue, even showing a little scorn as he said, “A zombie which can write? Do you think that I’m silly? How can a zombie write?”
All zombies were supposed to lose their humanity, mind, and souls. They were like monsters, with only their instinctive desire to feed on human beings and wander purposelessly.
How could that kind of creature do something that only human beings were capable of?
If that wasn’t a joke, what was it?
Wu Chengyue remained silent and just smiled faintly. However, Wu Yueling, who had her face buried in her father’s chest, now suddenly turned back to glance at Xiao Yunlong, then quickly buried her head back into Wu Chengyue’s arms.
Wu Chengyue couldn’t see the look in his daughter’s face, but Xiao Yunlong, who sat in front of him, saw it and then fell silent.
‘Little Ling Ling, please explain that disdainful look on your face!’ Xiao Yunlong paused slightly when he noticed Wu Yueling’s expression, then shouted in his head.
The little girl never talked to him before, but just now, she suddenly threw him a cute but disdainful glance. Xiao Yunlong even began to feel that she had started becoming a little annoying! She was no longer adorable!
Wu Chengyue looked at him smilingly and said, “You can go and find out if you don’t believe me. But, why should I lie to you? If you’re going, I need to warn you that just don’t let her scare you.”
Imagining the tall and sturdy Xiao Yunlong being scared by that zombie’s human-like behavior, Wu Chengyue’s smile grew slightly brighter.
Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said scornfully, “I could tell that the female zombie had no hostility toward us. But, if you’re telling me that she can write… please stop joking.”
Wo Chengyue rolled his eyes and then said, “Believe it or not.”

Lin Qiao who had been heading South, had no idea that some people were looking for the body that she was using at the moment. Neither did she know that the people that she was looking for had brushed past her, and were moving in another direction, further and further away from her.
Qiu Lili’s vibe was way stronger than Lin Qiao’s, and could spread widely. If she wanted to, she could let the zombies within two miles in radius sense her.
She had been restraining her vibe and keeping the range of its influence narrow. However, the zombies within four-hundred meters around them could still feel her.
Therefore, all the roads had been quite unobstructed for Lin Qiao, as the surrounding zombies would all move away automatically once her car approached.
So, she had increased her driving speed. Soon, she drove past Quan Zhou and arrived at Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou was quite close to Hades Base, which was one of the two Southern bases. Therefore, she planned to go to the Hades Base first and see if she could find any useful information. Although, she understood well that finding her family wouldn’t be easy.
Besides, because of her current appearance, she had no way of getting into the base and to simply ask around. Without a doubt, she wouldn’t be able to enter the base.
So, she planned first look for the people who were from the Hades Base, and sneakily approach them to see if she could hear anything useful.
Only if she could have her own body back!
