Chapter 96: The Second Round of Recovery
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Lin Qiao had just witnessed those vines turn a zombie into a dead body, so when she saw them suddenly wrap herself, she subconsciously felt that they would drain her own energy as well, and was taken aback.
However, by the time she could react and try to dodge, it was already too late.
Like the last time, she sensed a gentle power slowly coiling around her body, and her mind settled suddenly.?At this moment, she couldn’t feel the vines absorbing her energy. Instead, she sensed a familiar itch and numbness from her legs. It seemed that the vines were preparing to heal her body again like they did the last time.
As she expected, when the vines covered her entire body, only leaving her face unwrapped, her mind became unclear. But soon, she woke back up to feel the numbness and itch from the skin and muscles of her arms and legs, as well as the soreness and swelling of her body.
Right after that, her head slowly began to ache. First, it was waves of dull headache, followed by a head-exploding pain, which was growing stronger and stronger.
This time, Lin Qiao didn’t open her mouth and screech in her head, but clenched her teeth and closed her eyes to endure the pain silently. She knew that she wouldn’t pass out, but had to sense that pain clear-mindedly and accept it.
Compared to the last time, she now had a different mindset. The last time, she was in panic and didn’t know what to do, so the pain was especially unbearable to her. But this time, she knew that what was happening was beneficial to her, so she endured that pain with happiness. In this way, that pain had become more bearable for her.
Thinking that her broken body would be slowly restored, she didn’t care about the pain at all.
Time kept on passing while she was suffering the pain. Lin Qiao felt every second being too long, and that her head was going to explode at any moment. However, she didn’t pass out, even though she wanted to. For some reason, her mind was extra clear during this process.
Half an hour later, the pain in Lin Qiao’s head suddenly began to fade; however, she felt that she had suffered for half a century. The vines didn’t unwrap her suddenly and disappear like they did the last time, but gradually loosened. Lin Qiao let out a long sigh of relief.
It was finally over!
The vines soon disappeared. At that moment, Lin Qiao had no idea that a bright green light was moving in her purely black eyes. The green light circled in her eyes, then turned into a pair of faintly green, glowing pupils.
However, the pair of green pupils soon disappeared from her purely black eyes.
Finally, she could finally move again. She lowered her head to look at her body and found that her clothes were all gone, as expected.
Under the green light of the lake water, she saw that the wounds on her thighs were really healed up! The muscles in the wounds had all regrown, but the skin continued to be in different colors. However, it already looked much better than before.
She then looked at the hole in her stomach, and found something strange.
She couldn’t see her intestines anymore. Before, some broken internal organs were left in her stomach; but now, nothing was in there, as it was emptied!
Not a thing was left in her damaged stomach! Lin Qiao was dumbfounded as she stared at her own stomach in shock.??‘What is this? What happened? God knows what happened! Damn! Don’t I need to eat anymore? Eh? But I still feel hungry!’
She touched her stomach with her hands, but felt nothing strange save for a smooth surface. Her stomach was now empty and clean, without even a small piece of her old internal organs left in it!
She silently glanced at the green light in the lake. She really wanted to ask the lake a question,?‘What did you do to me!’
However, she stopped worrying when she saw her healed thighs. She glanced at her stomach for the last time, then decided to leave it be, as it wouldn’t affect her life anyway. Well, she believed so at least.
She then checked her arms and found that her arms were healed as well. Now, she had a pair of unwounded arms. Suddenly, she thought of her face and raised her hands to touch it. But in the next moment, she felt that her face was still full of hollows and bumps.
Without a question, her face hadn’t been healed yet.
It seemed that the energy was only enough to heal her limbs this time, as her body and face were all left unhealed.
She put down her hands disappointedly. But in fact, she wasn’t really upset. On the contrary, she was quite happy, because at least her arms and thighs were healed. Besides, she had learned how to trigger the energy down in the lake bottom already. To do that, she only needed to find another high-level zombie.
Thinking about that, she began swimming ashore. She had already gotten what she wanted, so it would be meaningless for her to stay in the water.
When the reached the water surface, she saw an object floating on it. Without a doubt, that was the poor female zombie which had been drained by the lake just now.
Lin Qiao swam to the zombie’s body nakedly, then dragged it to the lakeside.
Junjun and the little boy weren’t around the lake. It seemed that they were in the small space, and hadn’t discovered what just happened in the lake.
Lin Qiao slowly walked out of the water and threw the zombie body aside, then walked to Wu Yueling’s bed, which now had some clothes piled on it. She picked a training suit which was ripped off from a robber, then put it on herself.
She didn’t go to Junjun after putting the clothes on, but went back to the lakeside, dragged the female zombie’s collar, and brought it out of the space.
She returned to the top of the building and threw the female zombie to the ground, then squatted and cut open its head.
Puff!
She cut off its skull, exposing the sticky grey matter inside the zombie’s head. To be honest, it didn’t even look like brain matter anymore.
Lin Qiao reached out her claws, prepared to look for the female zombie’s nucleus. However, she paused suddenly and turned to look around. She found a twig which was sent up by the tornado, so she picked it up immediately. After that, she stirred the grey brain matter with the twig, then found a thumb-sized, white zombie nucleus.
The color of the nucleus had faded. It seemed that without the energy, the nucleus had turned back into the white color of ordinary zombies’ nuclei.
Lin Qiao picked the zombie nucleus up, then sensed a warmth from her fingertips. However, the warmth faded before it could make a circle in her body.
In the next second, the zombie nucleus in her hand turned into white powder and fell off.?It seemed to be the leftovers of the vines down in the lake bottom.
Lin Qiao patted away the powder from her hand and then stood up.
