241 Give The Zombies A Bath

In the space, the two zombies were immediately agitated by the sudden change of the surrounding environment. They leaped toward a clearing, then leaned against each other as they stared at Lin Qiao while observing the surrounding area. 

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" 

Lin Qiao looked at them and felt like laughing. "Come here," she said to the two zombies. 

"Roar!" Her words were barely effective on the two zombies, who only listened to Qiu Lili. The two zombies remained unmoved while giving her warning growls. 

'They're not following my orders…'

Lin Qiao quietly looked at the two zombies whose faces were barely recognizable. Suddenly, her eyes turned cold as she bared her sharp teeth toward them. 

"Whoo…" seeing that, the two level-four zombies immediately quieted down. Lin Qiao stopped baring her teeth and said to them, "Come over, stand here." While speaking, she pointed at the clearing next to her. 

The two zombies moved toward that area while rubbing against each other like two large dogs. Lin Qiao sniffed at them, then found that these two dirty zombies weren't stinky. No blood scent was detected from them at all, probably because they hadn't eaten human beings in a long while, or Qiu Lili never let them. 

They looked dirty, but not smelly. Lin Qiao guessed that was why Qiu Lili let them follow her. 

As the two zombies obediently moved over and squatted in the area that she pointed at, Lin Qiao turned and took two large buckets which were over one-meter tall to the lakeside, and filled them with the lake water. As the two buckets were filled, she dragged them to the side. 

At that moment, a few thick vines rose from the lake, wriggling toward her.

After filling the buckets, Lin Qiao waved her hand toward the two zombies and said, "Come here." 

The two zombies didn't move, but looked at her nervously. 

Lin Qiao sighed, then bared her teeth toward them and repeated with a dry voice, "I said come here!"

"Roar!" 

Since the two zombies couldn't understand human words, she decided to use zombie language. 

"Roar!" The two zombies were immediately frightened. Lin Qiao seemed to be at the same level as they were, but somehow, her vibe was extremely strong. The pressure that she had been giving the two zombies was way too intense.

Lin Qiao had nearly lost her patience. Abruptly, she flashed around the two zombies, then returned to the side of the two buckets. 

As she looked at the two zombies again, their clothes had already fallen onto the ground in pieces, lying around their feet. 

"Roar!" The two zombies made no reaction to their shredded clothes, but were very unhappy because of Lin Qiao's sudden approach. 

Lin Qiao rested her head on her hand and looking at the two naked zombies. Their muscles were dry and skin was wrinkled. Then, she turned to look at the two buckets. 

Was it possible for the two zombies to bring themselves into the buckets?

Lin Qiao shook her head. Should she put them into the buckets and bathe them? 

At that moment, she felt something climbing onto her feet. She lowered her head to find that it was Viney. 

'Mama, can I eat them? Even though they don't have lots of energy…' Viney's voice was heard inside Lin Qiao's head. She shook her head and said, "No, Viney, you can't eat them. Can you help me put them into the buckets? They won't follow my orders." 

'Put them into the buckets? Why?' Viney asked. 

"Because I need to bathe them," said Lin Qiao. 

Viney didn't quite understand Lin Qiao's request, but it was still happy to help. 

'Alright, I'll do it then!'

While speaking, she threw two vines toward the two naked zombies. Before they could react, they were wrapped up and lifted. 

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" 

"Roarrrrah…" 

The two zombies realized what was happening after they were tied up. They struggled as hard as they could while howling in a panic. In the next second, they were thrown into the buckets and forced to squat. 

Following a series of water clattering noise, the water gushed out of the buckets. 

"Stop moving, sit tight," Lin Qiao stood beside, looking at the two. While speaking, she was thinking about how to make these two zombies follow her orders. However, she didn't notice that the faint green light in her eyes suddenly grew deeper as she stared at the two zombies. 

Under the gaze of her green eyes, the two zombies suddenly quieted down. They sat in the buckets like two dogs, looking straight at Lin Qiao with their dark eyes. 

"En? Are you willing to follow my words now?" 

Lin Qiao looked at them with surprise. She didn't seem to be able to control the zombies above level-four, so she didn't plan to control the two level-four zombies. But to her surprise, these two suddenly followed her words. It seemed that she had them controlled. 

Was it the effect of her last treatment?

Lin Qiao got close to the two zombies and looked around, then said to the male zombie, "Raise your hands." 

As she expected, the male zombie obediently reached both hands forward, then looked at Lin Qiao with confusion. She couldn't sense its thoughts, so she didn't know if the male zombie under her control had entered a resting state, just like hypnosis. 

"Bend your arms and get some water to wash your face with your palms," she continued to the male zombie. She wasn't sure if it could understand her completely. 

Before she finished thinking, the male zombie bent both arms and sank its palms into the water. Then, it scooped some water with its palms and poured onto its face. 

After that, the male zombie repeated the same move. 

Lin Qiao stood up, turned to say to the female zombie, "Do what he did." Once she said that, the female zombie turned and glanced at the male zombie, then scooped some water to wash her face. Unlike the male zombie, she would also wipe her face with her palms. 

Lin Qiao looked at her with surprise. 

'Eh, this female zombie has a better understanding of my words than the male.'

Viney grabbed Lin Qiao's wrist with another vine and asked her, 'Mama, why do you want to bathe them? Do you want them to be clean so I can eat them?'

Lin Qiao explained to Viney, "They aren't for you to eat. I want to turn and train them, so they can work for me." 

Viney responded without fully understanding, 'Ah…I see! Why do you want them to bathe?'

"Because I need to remold their bodies first with the energy in the lake. After that, I'll train their minds. In the future, I might also need you to fix them, to see if we can restore some of their memories." 

Hearing that, Viney nodded knowingly, 'Ah, sure, sure…But I don't have much of energy…Aren't we going to fix Lili, the zombie in white dress?'

"I know, be patient! We'll get you enough energy," said Lin Qiao smilingly. 

'Okay,' Viney responded.
