Lu Chuan was concerned that Zhao Lin might have ulterior motives for coming to Qingshui Farm, so he constantly had âTyrant No. 2â closely monitor her every move.
However, what surprised Lu Chuan was that upon meeting Zhao Lin this time, she seemed inexplicably honest.
Lu Chuan remembered that back in Sunshine District, Zhao Lin was filled with bizarre thoughts about upholding justice and rescuing survivors.
In Lu Chuanâs view, Zhao Lin was like an outright saint in the apocalypse, oblivious to the pitfalls awaiting her.
She even tried to lure away his Little Qiqi, an irredeemable fool through and through.
Yet, this time Zhao Lin didnât stir up any trouble, she behaved very honestly these past few days, almost like a different person.
Zhao Lin seemed to have adapted to her current life quite well, even when Lu Chuan had her chained to the slide, she never considered escaping.
Such a dramatic change in Zhao Linâs behavior left Lu Chuan rather astonished.
He couldnât understand what experiences she had gone through recently to cause such a drastic personality transformation in such a short time.
Previously, after being captured, Zhao Lin would negotiate terms and even attempt to get food for other survivors, but now she seemed solely focused on Little Qiqi.
In the past, she would threaten him with suicide because she could revive, yet this time Zhao Lin showed no intention of doing so.
Lu Chuan scratched his head, unsure what had happened to this woman to cause such a major personality shift, but undeniably, itâs a good thing.
Now, Zhao Linâs demeanor relieved Lu Chuan significantly; he no longer needed to surveil her 24 hours a day, allowing him to focus on other matters.
In the following days, Zhao Lin either chatted with Little Qiqi or watched her play in the playground.
She now seemed more like a neighborly big sister than an apocalypse Evolver.
Though Zhao Lin hadnât relaxed properly for ages, now chained by Lu Chuan to the slide, she undoubtedly didnât need to stay ever vigilant as she did outside.
The best part about being on Lu Chuanâs turf? Zhao Lin was finally able to eat her fill!
Having traveled nonstop without finding supplies, Zhao Lin survived these past days on just a bottle of water and two pieces of bread, without any other food intake.
Starving to the point her chest stuck to her back, Zhao Lin suddenly found that staying at the Corpse Kingâs lair wasnât bad; at least she wouldnât go hungry...
Having food and drink, without fear and without worrying about being backstabbed by companions, it seemed the zombie kingâs lair was more comfortable than with the human survivors.
With Zhao Linâs arrival, Ji Ruxue noticeably became more talkative than before.
After all, as a zombie, Lu Chuan couldnât speak and could only communicate with Ji Ruxue through writing, which was very inconvenient.
Zhao Lin, being human and a grown woman, had many topics she could discuss with Ji Ruxue.
Through the perspective of âTyrant No. 2,â Lu Chuan witnessed the interactions between the two for those days, and seeing Little Qiqi so happy, Lu Chuan felt very satisfied.
"Even though I donât know why this dumb woman changed her personality, Little Qiqi obviously enjoys spending time with her."
"As long as Zhao Lin doesnât cause any trouble, she could be kept like a pet at Qingshui Farm, which would surely make Little Qiqi very happy."
...
It was mealtime again, and Zhao Lin looked eagerly towards the residential area.
Every mealtime, Little Qiqi would bring her food.
During her time at Qingshui Farm, Zhao Lin lost all anxiety about food, her face looked much healthier after eating her fill.
Zhao Lin gazed at the residential area, smelling a delightful fragrance before Ji Ruxue even walked over.
After a while, she saw Ji Ruxue carrying a large bowl of meat porridge, swiftly heading her way.
The aroma made Zhao Linâs stomach growl in protest, and her mouth began to water.
The cooked rice mixed with mutated beast meat, the fragrance of rice and meat was a delicacy in the apocalypse.
Famished and impatient, Zhao Lin gulped the meat porridge down as soon as she received it.
Greedily, she finished the bowl clean, even licking it spotless.
Though sheâd finished eating, Zhao Lin still displayed a longing expression; she couldnât remember the last time she had such food.
"Howâs the taste of the porridge?" Ji Ruxue asked softly, stifling laughter at Zhao Linâs delighted expression.
"Woo woo woo~ So delicious! Itâs really delicious!"
"Little Qiqi, you know? Iâve never had such tasty porridge before!"
Zhao Lin felt an urge to cry; she couldnât recall when she last enjoyed such a flavor.
Ji Ruxue nodded contently, confident in her fatherâs cooking skills, and said with a light laugh, "Of course, this porridge is made by my dad himself!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin was stunned, her mind momentarily overwhelmed.
The delicious porridge she just drank was made by a zombie?!
Zhao Lin felt dumbfounded; when did zombies, who thrive on blood, learn to cook porridge?!
Though from the current situation, the Corpse Kingâs intelligence was evidently high, cooking porridge could be a challenge even for humans, let alone being so delicious!
Zhao Lin felt warm in her stomach yet dizzy in her head.
She ate a bowl of porridge cooked by a zombie, something sheâd struggle to convince anyone of...
Late night.
Despite Zhao Lin being chained by Lu Chuan to the slide, thoughtful Ji Ruxue provided a quilt for her.
For Zhao Lin, whoâd traveled a long way, having a quilt at night was already very fortunate.
Moreover, surrounded by the Corpse Kingâs patrolling zombies, Zhao Lin didnât worry about attacks, so she slept soundly at Qingshui Farm.
Bang bang bang!
But suddenly, the ground near Zhao Lin cracked open.
As she watched, a yellowish zombie crawled out from undergroundâit was the "grudge-bearing" Earth Escape zombie.
Lu Chuan, observing through âTyrant No. 2âs perspective, immediately spotted the new type of zombie.
He was first startled, then delighted.
