235 Do You Know Me?

Lin Qiao picked up Junjun's clothes from the ground as the latter came out of the water. When Junjun walked up to her, she handed her the clothes. 

"How's it? Your power?" Lin Qiao had sensed Junjun's power level: she was already a level-four zombie by now. At the same time, she also sensed her complicated and disordered feelings, including hatred, anger, disappointment, shock, confusion and disbelief. 

'What happened to her?' Lin Qiao looked at Junjun confusedly. 

Junjun slightly lowered her head as she took over the clothes and dressed herself. Having finished dressing up, she slightly raised her head to look at Lin Qiao with a complicated expression, then said with a low voice, "Chief!" 

"Eh?" Lin Qiao stared at her bewilderedly. Then, she popped her eyes in shock and responded, "You can talk? So soon! Wait a moment, what did you call me just now?" 

Lin Qiao looked at Junjun's face and found that the dark circles under her eyes were gone. Her pale-grey eyes had turned entirely black, and her pupils were invisible. 

Junjun pulled her long wet hair to one side, wringing them while saying, "Em, I feel that a long time has passed. I remembered things, about myself, and you."

Finishing the sentence, she turned to look at Lin Qiao. 

"Eh? Do you know me from before?" Lin Qiao looked at her with confusion as she asked, "But tell me first, why did you call me Chief? You're not seeing me as the other Lin Qiao, are you?" 

Junjun continued to wring her long hair while replying, "Chief, you saved Lin Feng, Madam, and the others, so, you are her, aren't you? Have you lost your memories like I did? Or, have you only forgotten the things that happened in the recent five years?"

Lin Qiao paused briefly. She suddenly felt that Junjun's words had triggered something in her head and caused a slight swelling pain in her brain.

"Eh…" She raised a hand to cover her forehead while frowning and moaning. 

Junjun was startled. "What's wrong? Do you remember anything?" She asked nervously. 

Lin Qiao kept the hand on her forehead while shaking her head as she responded, "No, just having a headache!"

Junjun sighed slightly with relief, then said, "As long as you're okay…I think headache can be normal. After all, you're using a new body now, so I guess something in your mind is sealed."

Lin Qiao raised her head to look at Junjun, then asked, "How do you know that I'm Chief Netherworld Fire? I have completely no idea when I served as a Chief." While speaking, she walked to Qiu Lili's closet, found a dry towel, and handed it to Junjun. 

Junjun took over the towel and thanked Lin Qiao, then continued, "Because I feel that you are her. You're Lin Qiao, aren't you? You just lost a part of your memories, just like me." 

Lin Qiao looked at her, staying silent. She thought for a moment, then decided to try figuring it out. What Junjun said was reasonable though. 

"Perhaps, you're right," she nodded and said, "But, my memory ends before the apocalypse. I thought I died when the apocalypse happened, then woke up inside Lu Tianyu's body."

"Five years is such a huge time gap," said Junjun smilingly, "That's not scientific!"

Lin Qiao sighed and said in agreement, "You're right! So, I've been feeling weird about it. Alright, enough about me. Let's talk about you. I detected a negative vibe from you just now. Have you remembered something bad?" 

Speaking of that, Junjun's face darkened immediately. 

"My name is Liu Jun," she said, "Tong Tong's full name is Huang Yuetong, and Tong Tong is his nickname. He's four years old. My ex-husband's name is Huang Tianfei. We were living a good life in the Hades Base, but two months ago, he came back home suddenly and brought us out of the base with some other people in a hurry. We were heading to Sea City." 

While speaking, Liu Jun's vibe began unstable again as waves of hatred and killing intent began radiating from her body. 

"But, the journey was too long, with many zombies on our way. We encountered zombie leaders a few times, and most of us were killed by the zombies. At first, the ones with powers protected us who didn't have powers, as well as the children. But gradually, they started seeing us a burden. Later on, many of the ordinary ones were pushed out by them under dangerous situations to hold off zombies or serve as baits." While speaking, Liu Jun slowly squatted on the ground. 

Lin Qiao was able to feel her hatred, sadness, and deep regret. 

"We were abandoned at last," Liu Jun continued, "I begged Huang Feitian not to leave us. I begged him to at least take Tong Tong to Sea City safely. But, he didn't. He heartlessly discarded us, taking away the food and water I had left for Tong Tong."

"How did you manage to hide in that building after being bitten by a zombie?" Lin Qiao asked out of curiosity. 

Liu Jun responded, "I was pushed toward the zombies by Huang Feitian. After I was bitten, he locked me in a room. I was unconscious for a few days. When I woke up, he and the others had left. They didn't bring Tong Tong with them, and I found my son in another room." 

Lin Qiao sighed, not knowing what to say about that man. She guessed that under desperate situations, all kinds of relationship would become fake to him, and he would do anything for survival.

"I can't forgive him for leaving Tong Tong…I can't…" Liu Jun murmured as her sadness instantly turned into hatred. Lin Qiao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Alright! You see, Tong Tong is healthy right now. Cheer up!" 

"If you didn't find us, Tong Tong would have been gone!" Liu Jun raised her head to look at Lin Qiao, her dark eyes revealing no emotions. However, Lin Qiao still felt that Junjun was honestly grateful for her. 

"Alright, let's get out," said Lin Qiao, "I was worrying that you might stay in the lake for too long. If you're not there when Tong Tong wakes up, Qiu Lili and I will suffer." 

Liu Jun nodded and stood up. Lin Qiao then held her hand, and both of them exited the space. 

Qiu Lili was leaning against the window, looking at the dark sky outside. Sensing the two, she immediately turned back to look at Junjun. 

"Ahyayay…"

'How's it going? How do you feel?'

While yelling, she flashed to Liu Jun's side and made a circle around her, then began observing her carefully. She found that Junjun's appearance didn't change a lot, but her eyes and vibe had changed thoroughly. She was different than before, not drastically though. Moreover, her power level was improved largely. 

Liu Jun walked to Tong Tong and bent over to rub her son's hair, then gently kissed his forehead. 

"It's great to meet Chief…" she said with a soft voice.
