152 Heal Again

The same thing happened over and over again; Lin Qiao didn't know how long did it take for her to feel numb again. 

All of a sudden, her whole body began shaking. Next, a scorching hot feeling attacked her brain. 

As a zombie, she couldn't sense temperatures. But this time, she felt that her brain was burning hot, as if her head had become a stove, and was baking her entire brain. 

Her body was almost occupied by numbness, so she was prepared for this. Her face twisted as she couldn't help but scream out loud. 

"Roar!" Her voice arose from the bottom of the lake, rippling the water. 

After that roar, she felt that her head had truly exploded this time. The explosive pain threw her into unconsciousness. 

She finally passed out. 

Junjun, who was curiously watching the space expanding, didn't hear Lin Qiao's roar, but sensed it clearly. She turned to look at the lake and found that the water surface was rippling quietly. 

She didn't know what Lin Qiao went down in the lake to do. The lake made her feel dangerous, so she didn't dare to go down there. 

At that moment, the body of the unconscious Lin Qiao had been changing slowly as she had wished. The dark green energy contained in the lake water had been drilling into her body, especially the scarred parts. 

The wounds on her arms and legs had all been healed. Except for the odd skin color and the stiff muscles, her limbs now looked exactly like those of normal people.

A great amount of energy flowed into her stomach, circled in her body, and then gathered in her brain. The energy quickly activated the dead cells of her body, then filled them up. However, the growth of the cells was a very slow process, especially in her hollowed stomach. 

While activating Lin Qiao's dead cells, the energy had also been removing the scars on her face as quickly as possible. 

And of course, her breasts were being fixed as well. 

Down at the bottom of the lake, under the roots of the vine plant, a dark light spot had been sparkling. Every time it sparkled, a wave of dark green energy would be released. Most of the energy had been sent into Lin Qiao's body through those vines, gathering in her brain. 

Nobody knew about that, and the unconscious Lin Qiao surely had no way of finding out about it. 

The scars on her face had been changing bit by bit. A new layer of flesh was growing under her scars, while a strange membrane grew out on her stomach and covered the gaping wound there. 

While the energy was fixing Lin Qiao's body, Qiu Lili was waiting by the lake outside, feeling very bored. She waited for quite a while, but Lin Qiao never showed up. She didn't plan on leaving without Lin Qiao, so she kept squatting by the lake and spinning turtles. 

The five turtles had been dizzied by her, and were all hiding in their shells. 

On the other side, Lin Feng and his people arrived at the hotel building, which had forty or fifty stories, after a short walk. As Lin Qiao wasn't with them, the zombies in the hotel building sensed their scents and all rushed out, pouncing on them while roaring. 

The two level-six superpowered ones in the team weren't able to fight, so the others needed to deal with those zombies. 

The four female members were shielded by the others. Among the four, Cheng Wangxue was the strongest one. However, her leg was broken by Yang Jianhua's ice blade earlier on, so she had difficulty moving now. 

Lin Wenwen didn't have much fighting capacity. Same as Lin Qiao, she had space power. Before the apocalypse, she was just a college student, so she didn't know how to fight at all. After the apocalypse, she had learned how to use guns under the dangerous circumstances, and her reaction capacity was improved largely. But still, she wasn't a fighter. 

Mrs. Lin and the little girl were both ordinary human beings. Lin Hao wasn't a strong fighter either, but his sensations were very sharp. 

Therefore, except for Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying, the others were all holding their guns to blow the head of any zombie that crossed their eyes. 

They had all mastered marksmanship, which allowed them to shoot the enemies quickly and accurately. In the post-apocalyptic era, they were forced to learn some skills. 

However, the few soldiers who had been protecting Lin Feng and his family all the way were all real soldiers. Otherwise, they wouldn't follow the Lin Family all the way here from the Zhe Province. During the journey, many of their friends had died. Those people weren't killed by zombies, but by Yang Jianhua and his people. 

The hotel building was located in the middle of the city. Therefore, it was filled and surrounded by zombies. As a group of living human beings had shown up, those slow-moving zombies all gathered toward this area excitedly, baring their teeth and waving their claws, trying to pounce on Lin Feng and his people and bite them. 

However, before they could approach those human beings, their heads were blown up. 

Du Yuanxing released electricity from both his hands to strike the zombies, making them shake and then freeze. Those zombies weren't dead, but were temporarily disabled from moving. Soon, the electricity faded and they started moving again. 

As usual, Long Qingying gathered the metal objects around her to forge small weapons like metal thorns, then sent them out to penetrate the heads of the zombies which were approaching. 

After that, she would reclaim those metal weapons to prepare for the next round of attack. 

With Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing' large-scale attack, the group entered the hotel building quite quickly and conveniently. They even had the time to chat during this.

"Where did that zombie go? It has been so long."

"Who knows! This hotel looks huge. Look at the lobby… it seems that no other human beings have come here. Later on, we should try finding freezers and other storages. Let's see if we can find some expired food here."

"Yes, sir."

Even though five years had passed since the apocalypse, people could still find some packaged foods which were produced before the old world ended. Many vacuumed or sealed food such as canned food or dried food could be preserved for more than five years. 

Places like grand hotels, large restaurants, or fancy clubs were likely to store sealed foods. As for whether those foods had gone bad or not, that would depend on their luck. 

Some cold storages could maintain a low temperature for a long time even after the power outage. After the apocalypse, the daytime was hot, but the nighttime was cold. Without being exposed to direct sunlight, the ice wouldn't melt easily. Therefore, some sealed cold storage houses still had lots of ice in them.
