1215 Bring Underwear

"I'm your sister, be it before or now," Lin Qiao looked at him and answered his question, then continued with, "Of course, if you don't want to accept that, there's nothing I can do to make you feel better."

Lu Tianyu looked at her with sharp, sad eyes. "I want to know who you are. You are not Lu Tianyu, so what is your real name?"

Since a long time ago, he had been doubting that zombie lady's identity. At first, he thought the experience of death changed her personality. But, the longer time he spent with her, the weirder he found her to be.

Over time, he started failing to think of her as Lu Tianyu. He felt the two of them were completely different people. Before he died, he even had a dream.

In his dream, he witnessed Lu Tianyu's death. As same as what he heard, she was killed by a crowd of zombies. Her scream was filled with despair. Based on what he knew about her, she certainly cursed some people before she died.

Then, he woke up with a start, his face covered in sweat. He sat on the bed and gasped for hair. Spending the whole night thinking, he finally figured out something.

Why did Lu Tianyu become so different after she turned into a zombie? Her behavior, her personality, her way of doing things, and the vibe she gave out, everything about her was different.

It was because the real Lu Tianyu had died long ago. The one who turned into a zombie was not his sister.

But, who was it?

With that doubt, he started to find clues from his zombie sister. Why did she care so much about Lin Wenwen, Lin Feng, and the other Lin Family people? She went all the way to Hades Base to look for them first. Why was she able to communicate with Yuan Tianxing and the others with merely a look in the eye or a hand gesture? Why was she so persistent about building her own base?

Feeing his mood swings, Lin Qiao sighed and said, "You've guessed out, haven't you?"

"I want to hear you say it," said Lu Tianyi stubbornly.

Without hearing her say it personally, he felt what he had found out was not true. He didn't want to believe it. However, having false hope for too long made him feel not right.

All the others had known about the truth but him. Wasn't that making him seem silly? Was he too weak to even find out the truth?

He knew that the current Lu Tianyu was keeping the truth from him out of goodwill. She was so powerful; she didn't need to worry that he might want to hurt her for occupying his sister's body. She didn't tell him the truth only because she didn't want him to be sad.

However, he should wake up. No matter how great the false reality seemed like, it wasn't true. It would be gone sooner or later. The truth would always be the truth.

"Why?" Lin Qiao looked at him and asked, "Isn't it nice to think of me as your sister? At least, I now think of you as one of my brothers."

"You are my sister, but not that sister. I can't think of you two as the same person. You are not my real sister, so at least, you should tell me who you really are. Is it necessary to keep lying to me? Not everyone wants to hear white lies. I only know that it's time for me to see the truth," Lu Tianyi erased the sadness from his face and wore that strangely peaceful look again.

"Alright, if that's what you want! You are right. I'm not Lu Tianyu. She had died indeed! I am Lin Qiao, the sister of Lin Wenwen, Lin Hao, and Lin Feng, the leader of Hades Base. Lin Qiao died as well, but for some reason, she woke up in Lu Tianyu's body," Lin Qiao had no choice but to tell the truth. She put the hair near her forehead to the back of her head and exposed her entire face.

Lu Tianyi immediately raised his head to look straight at her. His eyes were unfocused, containing confusion, helplessness, and sadness.

"See, you wanted me to tell you. Now I've told you, and you're crying!" Lin Qiao looked at him.

Lu Tianyi automatically dropped his head to wipe his eyes. However, nothing was on his face, so he said grumpily, "I'm not crying. Do zombies have tears?"

Lin Qiao rolled her eyes, then pointed a finger at his heart and said, "Who said only tears mean you're crying? Your heart is shedding tears. Do you know that?"

Lu Tianyi lowered his head to look at his heart, then pressed his right hand in that area. "I'm not crying," he still refused to admit.

Lin Qiao stood up and walked to his side, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "You wanted the truth, I've told you what you wanted to know. As I've said, I'm still your sister. I see you as my second little brother. Well, having one more little brother isn't a problem for me at all. As for if you can see me as your sister, that's up to you. My body belonged to your sister, after all. You and me, we share the same blood… Hm, we are zombies with blood relations!"

Having finished talking, she retracted her hand and walked to the other side of the living room before disappearing, leaving Lu Tianyi sitting there alone, quietly.

Lin Qiao came out of her space and felt relieved. She then looked at Xie Dong and the others who were standing before the cabin. A group of zombies was standing behind Xie Dong in a straight line; Mo was the only level-six zombie among them. The rest were four zombie leaders, Jingyan, Yan Xiao, Liu Mingsong, and Liuli, the zombie number five.

"Are they the only ones ready to upgrade?" Lin Qiao looked at Xie Dong and asked.

"They're the ones who followed us out for the mission. There are some more among the ones who stayed to guard the base, and Troop Number Two stationed outside."

Lin Qiao nodded and said, "Em, I'll first help the five of them. It's four pm already. It's gonna be Teng's lunchtime in one hour. Mo will go first. Wait for a second!"

Something crossed her mind while she was speaking. She disappeared for a few minutes, and when she showed up again, a small bucket of milk was carried in her hand.

"Teng will be hungry at five. Warm this milk and feed him with it," Lin Qiao said. After all, she didn't know how long she would be staying in the space helping Mo with the upgrade.

"Oh, sure! I get it, don't worry. He won't starve," Liu Jun smilingly took over the bucket from her hand. She needed to feed her own son anyway. Since Lin Qiao was going to leave Teng in her place, she would, of course, feed that baby boy too.

After hearing Liu Jun's response, Lin Qiao walked to Mo and the others, "Have you prepared your nuclei yet?"

The zombies nodded.

Then, Lin Qiao turned and said to Xie Dong, "Maybe you should go first. Oh, eh-hem, did you bring underwear? Apart from nuclei, you guys should prepare yourself some underwear as well… because my lake is a bit lascivious."

After saying that, she smilingly looked at the other zombies, who stayed silent. Meanwhile, Xie Dong didn't know what to say either, and Liu Jun couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
