The zombie that she roared at flinched and shivered. The other zombies flinched as well upon hearing Lin Qiao’s roar.
“Crawl in slowly. If you jump again, I’ll kill you!” Lin Qiao dropped him beside the bucket.
Then, the zombie slowly crawled into the bucket like what she said.
Plop! Not too much water splashed out, and only a little spilled out.
Lin Qiao waited by the bucket for three minutes, then turned and said to the zombie in the bucket, “Alright, get out!”
The zombie in the bucket gave a start. Thinking about how bossy Lin Qiao was just now, he crawled out reluctantly. Then, he stood beside the bucket with dripping wet clothes as he looked at Lin Qiao, then at the bucket. He turned his head from between Lin Qiao and the bucket for a few times, seeming to miss the bucket a lot.
“You, go back to your position. And you, come out,” Lin Qiao ordered the wet zombie to go back to his position, and then pointed at the one next to him as she ordered that one to come out.
“Get in,” She pointed at the bucket and said to the second zombie.
The second zombie crawled into the bucket obediently, maybe because the first one did so.
Three minutes later, Lin Qiao told the second zombie to come out. When getting back into the line, the second zombie wore the same expression as the first zombie.
They both gazed straight at that bucket.
Lin Qiao ignored them for now and told the third one to come out, let him bath for three minutes, and then sent him back. Next, she called out the fourth zombie.
Once all five zombies had bathed in the bucket, Lin Qiao started talking to them.
“When you accomplish the mission and return, I’ll let you bath in that bucket until you’re satisfied!” Lin Qiao looked at the five wet zombies and said to them.
Hearing her words, the five zombies all looked at her eagerly with glowing eyes. Seeing the look on their faces, Lin Qiao knew that she had already achieved her aim.
She let those zombies taste the energy lake water first, so they would long for it. That way, she wouldn’t need to worry that they might run away when they left the base with Xie Dong.
But of course, she had done some preparations to prevent them from running out as well.
“And, if you dare to run away during the mission, I’ll let Xie Dong kill you!” She narrowed her eyes and curved one corner of her lips in a faint smile as she said.
She was smiling, but that smile was icy cold. Also, her eyes contained an intention of killing.
All the zombies who saw the look in her eyes instantly dropped their heads or turned away their eyes. At that moment, fear occupied their minds fully.
“Do you all understand?” Lin Qiao erased that weird smile, then shouted at the five zombies expressionlessly.
“Roar…” The five responded weakly.
“Don’t worry. As long as you follow my orders, I won’t kill you. I’ll even let you bathe in the energy water. That’s great, isn’t it? However, if you don’t listen to my words, you’ll die. Even if I spare your life, you’ll soon be killed by human beings,” said Lin Qiao.
The group of zombies didn’t dare to make any sound, and just looked at her carefully.
“Alright, I’ll bring you out later. Get ready! The others, do not move!” Lin Qiao said loudly and then turned to exit her space. She walked out of her room to Xie Dong’s door, and knocked on it.
Xie Dong soon answered the door. Seeing Lin Qiao, he stepped aside to let her in.
Lin Qiao came in and said, “I’ll send five level-four zombies to go with you. If they refuse to follow your orders, you can punish them based on the seriousness of the case. You can even kill them if you have to. Every disobedient zombie can be a future problem.”
Xie Dong paused briefly, then nodded.
Next, he saw Lin Qiao disappear right in front of him. And a few seconds later, he saw her show up again with a group of dripping wet zombies.
Xie Dong glanced at the carpet which was wet by those zombies, and then raised his head and waved at them.
A scorching hot wind blew across those zombies and soon dried them up.
“You need to lead these zombies. A part of your mission is to secretly protect Li Zheng and his people, and the other part is to deliver messages or come here for supplies. You’re zombies, so as long as you do not face human beings during the mission, you’ll be fine. Do you understand that?” Lin Qiao stood on one side of the room, crossing her arms as she said.
Xie Dong nodded in response.
After that, Lin Qiao said to the five level-four zombies, “Outside the base, you need to listen to him. Do you understand?”
“Roar…” The five zombies responded.
“Alright, you, come out and go to the room next door. Listen, without my order or his, you cannot come out of the room! Do you understand?” Lin Qiao walked to the door and opened it, then pointed at the door outside. Then, she turned back to look at the five and talk to them.
The five zombies walked out one after another, then stood outside the room next door. They confusedly looked at the closed door without knowing what to do next.
They didn’t know how to open that door, but did feel that they shouldn’t scratch it.
Lin Qiao walked out and looked at the five silly zombies. She sighed, then walked over and opened the door for them.
“Watch me. Next time, you do this yourselves.”
“Hmmm…” The expressions on the five zombies’ faces turned complicated. Their scary-looking faces became a little awkward because they were frowning.
“Get in. What are you waiting for?” Lin Qiao waved a hand toward the door.
As the five went in, she closed the door.
She suddenly felt so exhausted. Level-four zombies were really like children, and she disliked taking care of children the most!
Back in Xie Dong’s room, Lin Qiao stood by the door and said to him, “I’ll leave them to you.”
Xie Dong nodded.
Lin Qiao turned and walked away. She glanced at her watch and found that it was eleven pm already. She thought for a moment, then chose to stop before Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying’s door.
She raised a hand to knock on the door, and the door was soon answered.
“Chief, it’s quite late…” Long Qingying shared a room with Lin Wenwen. Seeing Lin Qiao, she automatically turned to glance at Lin Wenwen.
Lin Qiao followed Long Qingying’s eyes. Surprisingly, she saw her little sister who never liked sports doing the horse stance!
That was real, she was doing the horse stance!
With surprise, Lin Qiao walked into the room and found Lin Wenwen’s face reddened, while her legs were shaking.
“How long had she been doing this?” Lin Qiao walked to the other side of the room and waved a hand toward the tea table. With that, a few bowlfuls of strawberries appeared on the table.
“About forty minutes. Eh? So many ripe strawberries from your space?” Long Qingying replied.
“Em, no one picked them for many days, so lots of them are ripe,” Lin Qiao nodded.
“Right. Seasons don’t exist in your space. It’s strange that those strawberry plants are still bearing fruits,” said Long Qingying.
