234 Junjun Is Cured

Lin Qiao stood by the lake to feel the changes happening down in the lake. She found that the energy contained in the lake water was moving toward the center, emerging and gathering wave after wave.

Later on, she turned and walked into the strawberry field. She found some weeds among the plants there, so she squatted to remove them. 

She didn't know how long it would take for Viney to cure Junjun, so she decided to weed the strawberry and vegetable fields. Junjun was responsible for that work before, but as the fields hadn't been weeded for a couple of days, quite some weeds had grown out. 

After spending a while doing that, Lin Qiao sensed no change from Junjun. So, she exited her space. Once out, she saw Qiu Lili squatting by Tong Tong's bedside, looking at his sleeping face. Her arms were crossed by the edge of the bed, chin rested on her arms. 

Seeing Lin Qiao come out, she immediately turned and stood up. 

"Ahyayaya…Ahyaya…" 

'You're out? Where's Junjun?'

Lin Qiao put a finger before her lips and shushed her, then said with a low voice, "Keep your voice low…Don't wake him up. If he wakes up but can't find his Mom, he'll burst out crying."

Qiu Lili glanced at Tong Tong with fear. Finding that the kid was showing no sign of waking up, she sighed with relief. 

If the little boy started crying, even the ceiling would fall off. 

Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili walked to the couch and sat down. "Junjun is still in the lake," Lin Qiao said with a gentle voice, "I don't know how long it'll take. Let's wait! Hopefully, she'll come out before dawn, because no one else can keep this kid quiet." 

"Ahyaah…" said Qiu Lili with a low voice. 

'Please, Junjun, please come out quick."

After murmuring in prayer, Qiu Lili suddenly recalled what Lin Qiao had mentioned earlier when she returned. So, she asked, "Ahyaya, yayayaaaayayaya…"

'You said that I need to deal with a zombie. Is it also at level-six? What kind? How does it look? Is it ugly?'

Lin Qiao pictured that young female zombie in her head. She wasn't ugly; at least, she was relatively good-looking among zombies. 

"She seems to be at your age, not ugly. Half of her face is covered in scales. She seems to still have some humanity, but her temper is weird. Her mood is always changing. In fact, I felt that she's not evil, but a little self-willed. When you fight her, don't kill her, and just drive her away," Lin Qiao said. 

Hearing that, Qiu Lili looked at her with surprise and asked, "Ahahyiaaaaa?"

'At my age? What do you mean she's not evil? Should I beat her or not?" 

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "I think you still need to teach her a lesson, so she'll know that there are some things she shouldn't do. But, I don't know what power she has. She can turn invisible like me. So, I can't tell which one of you is stronger." 

Qiu Lili looked at Lin Qiao. She was very curious about this zombie who was as powerful as she was. 

"Ah…Yayaaaa?" She asked. 

'Does she have memories like me? Have she killed anyone before?'

Lin Qiao recalled that young female zombie's behavior and said, "I didn't see her killing anyone, but she seems to like doing bad things. She also seems to like children. Although she wouldn't hurt children, it's not right to steal children from their parents."

Qiu Lili stared at Lin Qiao with shock, "Ah…Yaya? Ahh?" 

'Steal…the children of the others? Is she a human trader?'

Lin Qiao smilingly looked at her and said, "Perhaps…it had a childish reason for doing so."

…

At that moment, Junjun was suffering an immense pain at the bottom of the lake. The pain from her body and from her memories both made her want to scream. However, her face and mouth were covered by something soft, which disabled her from shouting out loud even though she had opened her mouth. 

'Ahhhhh…Huang Tianfei! You bas*ard! I won't forgive you! You animals! You cruel thing!' She roared in her heart. 

That man abandoned her and her son. She could forgive him for leaving her, but could never forgive him for abandoning Tong Tong and taking away the only food and water they had! Lots of memory pieces wove in her mind, connecting with each other and becoming coherent memories. 

She remembered; she and those people escaped from the Hades Base. Huang Feitian and five level-five superpowered people sneakily brought their families out of the base, heading to Sea City. 

The few level-five people might have heard that the Hades Base would suffer attacks. So, they gathered a group of people and quietly left the base. 

Junjun didn't know what was going on at that time. She only knew that Huang Feitian came back in haste, quickly packed their bags, and took her and her son out of the base. He didn't tell her anything, so she was brought out of the base without knowing why. 

But now, based on what Lin Qiao had told her, she figured out that he knew that the base would be attacked at that time. 

'Lin Qiao…Lin Qiao! Chief Netherworld Fire!'

Suddenly, Junjun thought of something. However, before she could think carefully, a wave of energy exploded inside her head, just like an exploding bomb that shattered all the memories in her head. 

After that, the energy began swelling inside her head like a balloon, as if it was going to make her head explode. 

'Em…Ahhhh!'

Suffering the great pain in her head, Junjun couldn't help but growl silently. The energy expanded further and further. As she felt that her head was already as huge as a basketball court, the energy suddenly shrank and went back into the center of her brain. 

Junjun relaxed her body. She wanted to gasp for air, but the thing that covered her mouth and nose wouldn't allow her to do that. At that moment, the energy slowly concentrated in the middle of her brain, and soon, it released a small stream of energy and sent it to the rest of her body through her neck. 

Before long, Lin Qiao, who was talking with Qiu Lili about that young female zombie, felt something. 

"I think Junjun is coming out. I'll get in and check," she said. While speaking, she turned around and entered her space. 

Standing by the lake, she found that the water level was rising. 

Where did the water come from? She had been wondering why there was a lake filled with water in her space, and where that water was from. 

At the moment, the amount of water seemed to be increasing, but she didn't know where its source was. 

Abruptly, a large wave rose from the water surface, then slowly calmed down. After that, a figure came out of the lake surface, swimming toward Lin Qiao.
