Chapter 408: The Asleep Old Man

She scanned the roof with her eyes, then finally remembered the zombie old man who had dragged his bucket to behind a wall. She walked over, wondering why the zombie old man hadn’t made any response to her shouts yet.
She found the answer when she walked up to the bucket and saw the zombie old man. He was still sitting in the bucket, leaning against the bucket edge. Also, he was sleeping!
Yes, he was asleep.
Lin Qiao got close in shock and found that the zombie old man had closed his eyes and slightly opened his mouth. He was even snoring! His saliva almost streamed down the corners of his mouth.
‘Are you still a zombie! You’re actually sleeping! Zombies don’t need to rest, do they? Old man, why are you sleeping during the bath? Is this lake water so powerful? ‘ Lin Qiao had so many questions.
She raised a hand to remove her cosmetic contacts, then carefully observed the changes which were happening inside the zombie old man’s body.
She found that the zombie old man’s body had been absorbing the energy in the water very quickly! She saw the dark-green energy endlessly flowing into his body, mixing together with his own energy.
She then glanced at the other buckets. The energy contained in the water in the other buckets was only absorbed by less than five percent, but the zombie old man had already absorbed ten percent of the energy in the water in his bucket. He absorbed the energy twice as fast as the other zombies.
Lin Qiao found the zombie old man sleeping quite tight. She looked around, picked up a small piece of iron wire from a corner nearby, and then came back to the zombie old man.
She then poked the iron wire into one of the zombie old man’s nostrils.
“Puff… Ahhhh…” The zombie old man’s entire body suddenly shivered and his nose wrinkled. Next, he let out a series of weird noises.
Lin Qiao looked at him, wanting to laugh. What happened just now? He actually sneezed!
“Roar!” Seeing Lin Qiao abruptly, the zombie old man who had woken up gave her a roar unhappily.
Lin Qiao stood up and said, “Get up, the bath time was over, yet you were still sleeping! Are you sure that you’re a zombie?”
“Roar!” The zombie old man roared at her again with a frown.
Lin Qiao glanced at him with a weird look, then nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go, I won’t look, alright?”
While speaking, she walked to the other side and put the cosmetic contacts back into her eyes. After that, she heard the clattering noise of the water, followed by a short quietness. And then, she heard the noises of the zombie old man dressing himself.
Lin Qiao waited for quite a while before the area behind the wall finally quieted down.
As she turned back, she saw the zombie old man in a clean suit which was designed in Tang Dynasty’s style. He even brushed his white hair with a hand before he slowly walked to Lin Qiao and stood beside her, seemingly waiting for her to talk.
Lin Qiao quietly glanced at the zombie old man’s hair which were brushed neatly with water, then said to him, “Alright, this is your bath for today. You go back to your territory and stay there. I’ll call you guys back here for the next bath. Wait for my order.”
The zombie old man silently listened to her, then turned around and left swiftly without making even the slightest sound.
After watching him leave, Lin Qiao thought for a moment while scratching her chin. She felt that the zombie old man’s vibe was going to make a breakthrough. Was he upgrading soon?
Would he be the first zombie to restore his memory? He had lots of human habits, and understood almost everything she said. Or, was all that because he was an old man?
Lin Qiao didn’t spend too much time thinking, but turned and went downstairs. She came to her own room, then entered her space.
Right now, she felt that this space was almost exclusive for her. Maybe because Viney was here before, she always felt that the space didn’t really belong to her. After Viney went into her belly, she started to sense a strong connection between herself and the space.
At present, she was not only able to sense that the space was run by her own energy, but had also been feeling that every single grass in the space contained the energies from her and the lake.
The air in the space was actually from the woods. Those strange trees in the woods had been absorbing the energy from the lake and turning it into a type of air which contained a slight amount of energy.
‘So that’s how the air in this space is produced.’
She didn’t know that until now. No wonder every plant in that space contained energy.
She walked to the small building which was put into the space by her earlier. She put the building next to the few small spaces, on a clearing which had no furniture pieces.
She opened the front door of the building. The door on the first floor was huge, about two-meters and thirty centimeters tall, divided into four parts.
She was able to drag the couches and some other things into the building by herself, but the beds and wooden closets might be a little tricky. She was strong enough to move those furniture pieces, but they might end up bumping into the walls or something else.
She thought for a moment, then decided to ask Xie Dong for help.
With that thought, she exited her space and jumped directly into action. First, she walked to Xie Dong’s door and knocked on it. She waited for two minutes, and then Xie Dong opened the door. He was wearing a loose-fitting bathrobe.
Lin Qiao stood at the door and spent a moment observing his bathrobe, then said, “Put your pants on. I need you to help me move some furniture.”
Xie Dong paused for a second. Maybe because he had bathed in the lake water for two hours, he was feeling better now, and his vibe was not as down as before.
He nodded, then turned and walked back into his room. In a few minutes, he showed up again with a pair of jeans, his upper body bared.
Lin Qiao held his arm and brought him into the space.
Once in, Xie Dong gave a glance at the small building with surprise, as it was new in this place.
“I asked Yuan Tianxing to get this out for me today. I put it in here, and I’m gonna put some furniture pieces inside. From now on, this is kinda my home,” said Lin Qiao.
While speaking, she walked to a bed, then waved at Xie Dong and said, “Let’s carry this bed up first.”
After that, the two of them spent the whole night lifting furniture. Thankfully, they were both zombies who wouldn’t get tired.
The next afternoon, Lin Qiao went to the lobby of the hotel, only finding Lin Wenwen and some other girls sitting on the couches. Lin Feng and the others who should be having a meeting there were absent.
She quickly used her sensations and found that those people were in a room on the second floor.
Seeing Lin Qiao coming downstairs, Lin Wenwen said to her, “Miss. Lu, my brother and the others are expecting you in the meeting room on the second floor.”
Lin Qiao nodded knowingly, then turned and went to the second floor, following those people’s scents to the meeting room. The soldier who was guarding the meeting room opened the door for her before she had even arrived.
Lin Qiao walked in and saw Lin Feng, Yuan Tianxing and Chen Yuting.
She somehow felt that she was falling into disadvantages, as there were three human beings, but only one zombie in this room. Should she bring Qiu Lili next time? Qiu Lili wouldn’t want to be here, as she would not understand what they were about to say.
Should she bring Liu Jun? Liu Jun would understand the contents of the meeting, but she was too weak to boost the vibe of zombies.
There was a two-meters-long, large conference table in the meeting room. Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing were sitting in front of each other, Chen Yuting was sitting on the other side of the table alone, and the empty seat was clearly saved for Lin Qiao.
“Please have a seat!” Yuan Tianxing pointed at the empty seat and said.
