Jiang Anan’s mother knew Lu Tianyu. Many people in Sea City Base knew her, and many had seen her. However, only a few had seen her without make-up.
Jiang Aanan’s mother recognized Lin Qiao as Lu Tianyu. Earlier today when she asked Bai Xuer for help, she noticed her because some of the others were talking about her. She didn’t pay much attention to Duan Juan though.
Now, seeing the two of them together, she recalled seeing Duan Juan earlier today.
“She’s the one who can save your daughter,” Duan Juan pointed at Lin Qiao and said.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Lin Qiao with hesitation but made a step backward, silently accepting what Duan Juan said. Lin Qiao walked in straight toward the bed in the room without saying anything.
Duan Juan locked the door and then took out a confidential agreement, handing it to Mrs. Jiang as she said seriously, “Whatever you might see later, you cannot tell anyone else about it. Leaking the secret won’t do you and your daughter any good.”
Mrs. Lin glanced at Lin Qiao and then at her daughter. With a sad face, she nodded and took over the agreement from Duan Juan’s hands.
Lin Qiao observed Jiang Anan’s face. Jiang Anan was a pretty girl. However, there was a wound between the tails of her right eyebrow and her right eye, which ruined the beauty of her face. Between her eyebrows were some slight wrinkles. Only a person who frowned a lot would have that kind of wrinkles.
There might be a reason that made her a loner.
After spending a while observing her face, Lin Qiao reached out a hand to feel her pulse on one side of her neck. Sensing the girl’s weak pulse, she turned to Mrs. Jiang.
“You should have heard about me already,” she said, “Many think that I died. In fact, they are right. I died. But then, I came back to life.”
Mrs. Jiang looked at her with confusion as Lin Qiao continued, “I can’t let you know how I will save your daughter, so please go out. Can you do that?”
Mrs. Jiang looked at her with unwillingness in her eyes. She didn’t seem to want to accept the request.
Lu Tianyu was never a good person. She did not want to leave her daughter alone in a room with that woman, because she didn’t know what the woman might do to her daughter. However, Lu Tianyu was there to help Anan, so she could not say no directly.
“I… Can’t I stay here and watch?” she said to Lin Qiao with hesitation.
Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “There’s something that you can’t know. Knowing it won’t be good for you.”
Mrs. Jiang looked at her silently. Duan Juan put a hand on Mrs. Jiang’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry! My Chief is here to save your daughter and not hurt her. Just follow me out. Please trust me.”
Mrs. Jiang turned and gave Duan Juan a glance. Then, she looked at Lin Qiao and clenched her teeth before turning and walking to the door. She then opened the door and left quietly. Things had already gone so far. At that point, she had no reason to say no.
Duan Juan followed Mrs. Jiang out, leaving Lin Qiao in the room. The latter picked up Jiang Anan’s hand and rolled up her sleeve, exposing her arm that was covered in bulging veins.
Darkness emerged from the corners of her eyes and devoured the white parts of her eyes. In a second, her eyes turned purely black.
She opened her mouth and bared her teeth, then bit Jiang Anan’s arm. She easily bit through the girl’s skin and sunk her teeth in the girl’s arm for three seconds before relaxing the bite. After that, her eyes quickly turned back normal. She put down Jiang Anan’s sleeve and then put her arm back under the blanket.
Then, she slightly narrowed her eyes, watching her own virus spread in the girl’s body from her right arm and devouring the original zombie virus. Next, she took out a cup of pure lake water, forced Jiang Anan’s mouth open, and poured the water in.
The original zombie virus was vanishing quickly in the girl’s body, and the energy of the water was spreading from her stomach, restoring the girl’s bodily functions.
Lin Qiao turned and walked to the door, then opened it and said, “Come in.”
Mrs. Jiang walked in eagerly over to the bedside and carefully observed Jiang Anan. The latter was still pale, looking same as before. With both surprise and doubt, Mrs. Jiang turned to look at Lin Qiao.
“This… How is Anan now?”
“Keep an eye on her,” said Lin Qiao, “The effect will start to show in an hour. Be patient!”
Duan Juan also came over to observe Jiang Anan’s face. She lifted the girl’s eyelids and checked her eyeballs, then said to Mrs. Jiang, “Look, her eyes already look better than before.”
On hearing that, Mrs. Jiang immediately leaned forward to look closely at Jiang Anan’s eyes. The bloodshot look that had those eyes covered had been fading bit by bit, and could even be observed by human eyes.
“It’s real!” Mrs. Jiang was thrilled to see that, “Great, great!”
Hope sprouted from the despair in her heart and instantly occupied her mind.
“Take her to All Beings Base when she wakes up. Your secret has already been leaked. We’ve taken care of Bai Xuer and her people, but some other people will still come after you,” said Lin Qiao to Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang nodded as she stared straight at Jiang Anan, who was lying on the bed.
Lin Qiao glanced at Jiang Anan and said, “Jiang Anan still has the diary. I don’t know what the diary is about, but I assume it’s very important. There are too many people in Sea City Base. You might not survive even if you handed the diary to the army of Sea City Base, not to mention the fact that Jiang Anan is infected by the zombie virus. I have saved her now, and that has become another secret. So, I think it’s better for you two to follow me to All Beings Base.”
“That’s right. Giving us the second diary book is no different from giving it to Sea City Base,” said Duan Juan.
Duan Juan had talked to Mrs. Jiang before. She promised the latter to save Jiang Anan’s life and asked for the diary in return.
Duan Juan and Li Yue Shan had found out that the diary which Jiang Anan gave to Bai Xuer was not complete. Jiang Anan’s father gave her two diary books, and Bai Xuer only got one of them.
Of course, Bai Xuer, Ding Biao, and their people didn’t know about that yet.
Sea City Base was supposed to be fully responsible for that. However, Lin Qiao was also curious about the contents of the diary. Jiang Anan’s father was studying mutated plants, so his diary might contain a clue about how to destroy those underground gorillas.
Therefore, Lin Qiao decided to save Jiang Anan and then share the diary with Sea City Base.
She would get the second book, and Wu Chengyue’s men would track the first book down.
