“What are you doing?” Lin Qiao turned and gave the zombie dog a glance.
“Owoooo…” The zombie dog howled at her and then twisted its butt.
Seeing it twist its butt, Lin Qiao felt weird. The dog probably wanted to wag its tail but forgot to do so, so its movement came out weird. Then, she turned to look at that snake and found that it had put down its hood, then turned around to draw back into the woods.
“Did you bully it again?” Lin Qiao gave the zombie dog a glare. She figured out what happened once she saw the two creatures. The snake hadn’t healed completely, but it was energetic enough to chase the dog around. Its injuries seemed to have mostly recovered.
“Ow…” The zombie dog shook its head.
“Alright, go and play… Don’t come here to step on my strawberries,” Lin Qiao kicked the dog and then went back into the small building with the two bowlfuls of strawberries. She put the bowls on the table, then walked back out and carried the other two bowlfuls of strawberries into the building.
The zombie dog lied down by the door without entering the building.
Lin Qiao didn’t let the dog come in because there was a little thing in the building. The zombie dog was very interested in the baby tiger which was also severely injured, but it didn’t dare to make Lin Qiao angry.
Lin Qiao put all four bowlfuls of strawberries on the table, then walked to the corner to look at the baby tiger, which was curled in a deep sleep. The baby tiger hadn’t recovered from the injuries completely, but its life was secured. Lin Qiao hadn’t been giving it food, and only put a bowl of water beside it.
At that moment, a fluffy, gray ball of fur hopped downstairs.
“Roar?” Outside the door, the zombie dog immediately raised its head and looked at that fluffy ball with glowing eyes. The rabbit came to around Lin Qiao’s feet from under the table and chairs near the corner.
It glanced at the little tiger which was motionless in sleep, and then inched its way to the tiger’s water bowl, leaning its head forward to take a few sips from it. After that, it turned and ran back to Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao looked at it with confusion. In the next second, she saw the rabbit put both forepaws around her ankle and bite her trousers’ leg.
‘What does it want ?’ she wondered.
Before she could figure out a thing, the rabbit held her trousers leg between its teeth and dragged her toward the outside. Lin Qiao curiously followed the rabbit out. Raising her eyes, she saw the zombie dog by the door gazing straight at the rabbit with bright, piercing eyes.
“Ah, I see. I know what you want,” Lin Qiao suddenly figured it out. The rabbit was using her as a shield, as the zombie dog was right by the door.
She brought the rabbit to the door. The rabbit clung tightly to her foot while staring at the zombie dog alertly.
“Alright, don’t stay here. You’re scaring the little rabbit. Get out, out!” Lin Qiao waved a hand at the dog and signaled for it to leave.
“Owooo…” The zombie dog fixed its eyes on the rabbit as it gave Lin Qiao an unhappy roar.
“Aren’t you leaving? If you don’t go away, I’ll find a rope and tie you up. You won’t be able to go anywhere after that!” Lin Qiao pointed at the dog and threatened it.
“Owo!” Hearing that, the zombie dog turned and ran right away.
As the dog ran away, Lin Qiao pushed the rabbit with her foot and said to it, “Alright, it has gone away. Stop clinging to me. I’m going out.”
While speaking, she walked downstairs toward the vegetable field.
She glanced at those vegetables which had only a few tender leaves left, then turned to the few level-four zombies which were standing in a straight line.
“Go over there, line up,” She pointed at the clearing before the small building and said to them. After saying that, she turned and walked toward the building. The zombies in those small spaces all crowded to the entrances to look at her.
“Alright, stop looking at me. Come out, all of you,” Lin Qiao stood by the building and shouted at those zombies, then stepped onto the stairs before the door. Soon, a group of zombies rushed out of those small spaces and crowded disorderedly in the clearing before the small building.
At that point, Lin Qiao had found a large bucket and filled it with the lake water, then dragged it back to the small building.
“Line up. Didn’t I tell you how? Line up!” Lin Qiao yelled at them.
Those zombies hurriedly started to move and to form lines.
Lin Qiao waited for over a minute for those around thirty zombies to make a formation on themselves… Well, that formation was still in an irregular shape.
Meanwhile, five zombie leaders stood aside, without joining the group.
Lin Qiao walked downstairs and pointed at a zombie in the first row who was standing out of the line as she said, “You, step back a little!”
Then, she pointed at another zombie who was slightly behind the others and said, “You, come up a little.”
The two zombies moved their feet as she said, and then the first row was finally straight.
After that, Lin Qiao walked into the formation and kicked the zombies which weren’t in the right position.
“Memorize your positions! Next time if you line up so disorderedly again, I’ll destroy you!” Lin Qiao made every line straight, and then went before those zombies as she said with a loud voice.
She picked a few zombies who had wind power, ice power, and fire power, and were good at launching attacks, and ordered them to step out.
“You, come out! Here’s a mission for you. In a couple of days, you’ll leave along with Xie Dong. During the whole journey, you need to follow his orders. Do you understand?” She made the five zombies stand aside and gave them her order.
The five zombies looked at her with confusion.
Lin Qiao covered her forehead, feeling a slight headache. Among all zombies in her space, only the batch that she caught from Upper City District had been trained. She hadn’t had the time to train those that she caught on her way to the South.
“Anyway, you just follow his orders! Do you understand?” Lin Qiao had no other choice but to give them a strict order.
“Roar!” Those zombies didn’t quite understand her, but had to accept it.
Then, Lin Qiao pointed at the one who was standing at the left end of the line of the five, then at the bucket and said, “You, go and soak yourself in the bucket.”
“Roar?” The zombies looked at her confusedly.
“Roar what! Just go! And get up when I tell you so,” Lin Qiao expressionlessly shouted at the zombie.
“Woo…” Under her threat, the zombie had no choice but to walk to the bucket. Soon, he was attracted by the sweet and refreshing aroma from it. He put both hands on the edge of the bucket, and then stuck his head into it.
Seeing that, Lin Qiao walked over and kicked him on the butt.
“I told you to get in and take a bath! Why did you put your head in? Do you need me to put you in the bucket?”
“Roar?” The zombie who had suffered a kick turned back and looked at her bewilderedly, then at the bucket.
Then, he made a step backward, bent his knees, and leaped up toward the bucket.
Lin Qiao swiftly caught him in the air.
“Crawl in! Slowly!” Lin Qiao said through clenched teeth. Then, she couldn’t help but bare her teeth and give that zombie a roar.
