597 Absorbing Energy

Down at the bottom of the lake, Lin Qiao pressed He Mu's energy nucleus on her lower abdomen. Once it touched her skin, the energy contained in it started the flow into her stomach bit by bit.

Lin Qiao sensed that Viney was absorbing that energy, and wondered what she looked like now.

It had only been around a month since she got pregnant. It was December now, and the weather was very cold. Lin Qiao couldn't feel the cold weather though.

Up on the ground of the space, Lu Tianyi confusedly watched Lin Qiao go down into the lake, without knowing what she was doing. He abruptly turned around and found the young male zombie squatting in the vegetable field, catching bugs.

Since an unknown time, bugs had started to emerge in the vegetable field. Those bugs were fat and healthy, and had been growing very quickly.

The vegetables hadn't been picked for a few days. Many new leaves had grown out, but some of them had started to be eaten by bugs. Not all leaves were eaten by bugs, yet those bug-eaten leaves made those vegetables so ugly.

During the past few days, Lu Tianyi squatted in the field and caught bugs when he had time. The young male zombie might have learned that from him.

Lu Tianyi saw him catch a fleshy bug. That bug twisted its body in his hands, and then was thrown into his mouth.

He ate it!

Lu Tianyi's mouth corners twitched.

'He actually likes to eat bugs! What kind of zombie is he?'

Lin Qiao had warned that young male zombie a few days ago, so he was now much better behaved. Yet, he liked to follow Lu Tianyi around and cause troubles, such as hiding the water ladle which Lu Tianyi watered the plants with, or hiding the hoe that Lu Tianyi used to loosen the soil in the grassland.

Every time when Lu Tianyi looked everywhere for his tools, that young male zombie would feel happy.

That zombie caught another bug. Before he put it into his mouth, he suddenly found Lu Tianyi staring at him. He glanced at the bug in his hand, and then quickly threw it into his mouth.

After that, he popped his eyes and gazed at Lu Tianyi, as if the latter was going to take his bug away.

Lu Tianyi was awfully confused. 'Damn… Who wants your bug?'

Then, he saw that zombie bare his teeth to him. Those teeth were stained by some suspicious green matter.

Lu Tianyi silently turned his face away. 'I'm gonna be sick…'

'The world of zombies is so hard to understand!'

He looked around. By now, the space seemed to be a little empty, because those high-leveled zombies that Lin Qiao released earlier hadn't come back. The pace was suddenly so quiet. After spending a few days in the space, Lu Tianyi had gotten used to sharing the space with those zombies. So, he started feeling a little strange now.

As he was feeling a little uncomfortable because of the quietness, a roar was heard from the woods.

"Owoooooooo…" Following that roar, a furless dog rushed out and jumped into the grassland. A human-waist-thick black snake followed the dog out of the woods with anger and darted into the grass as well.

Lu Tianyi looked at the two creatures speechlessly. They fought all day long, chasing each other from the woods to the grassland, then from the grassland back to the woods. However, they seemed to have never approached the small building, but only played in the woods and the grassland. The other zombies barely came close to the building either.

He turned around and saw the chubby little tiger lying at the entrance of the small building.

Ever since Lu Tianyi fed it with crab meat that day, the little tiger became much quieter. However, it might be hungry again, as it hadn't been eating for two days.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

Lu Tianyi had no way to solve that problem though; he had no meat to feed it after all. They needed to wait for the Zombie Sister to come out of the lake to take them out and find food.

Sensing Lu Tianyi's gaze, the slouching little tiger raised its head and looked at him.

"Awooo!"

Hearing the little tiger, the two creatures which had been chasing each other in grass both reared up their heads and looked at the little one. They had only noticed that little friend recently. Lin Qiao had ordered them not to come close to the building, so they could only look at the baby tiger from a distance away.

Being stared by both the zombie dog and the giant snake, the little tiger shivered, then turned and hid in the building.

The snake gazed at the little tiger cold-eyedly, as if it were a prey. The cold look in the snake's eyes alarmed the little guy. As the snake was way too powerful, the little tiger immediately ran away and hid.

The little tiger had disappeared in the building. So, the two larger creatures spent a short while looking at the building and then gave up. Then, the snake suddenly turned and pounced on the zombie dog.

"Owo!" The zombie dog reacted swiftly, howling with discontentment. Clearly, it was unhappy about the giant snake's surprise attack.

The snake didn't care that much as it grasped the opportunity and rushed at the dog. The dog ran away swiftly and disappeared within a blink. With no other choice, the snake followed the noises that the dog made.

The zombie dog had no body temperature, but snakes traced their prey by sensing their body temperatures. The snake often felt confused when chasing the zombie dog, as the latter was cold-bodied.

In the water, Lin Qiao absorbed the rest of the nucleus after Viney stopped absorbing. This time, Viney had absorbed a huge amount of energy. She absorbed forty percent of the energy contained in that level-seven nucleus while Lin Qiao absorbed the rest sixty percent.

But, the sixty percent of the energy contained in that nucleus delivered no effect to Lin Qiao at all. As for Viney, she felt asleep again after the absorption.

Lin Qiao moved slightly and swam toward the lake surface like a fish, then popped her head out of the water. Once she came out of the water, the creatures on the ground sensed her vibe. They all paused and turned to her, then saw her swimming toward the lakeside.

Seeing that she was about to come out of the lake, Lu Tianyi immediately turned his head around. But then, he found the smart young male zombie staring at Lin Qiao with a pair of large, black eyes.

He abruptly reached out an arm to cover that zombie's eyes.

'What are you looking at! She's naked!'

Even though Lu Tianyi was aware that Lin Qiao would certainly cover herself with dark mist when she came up from the lake, the point was not about whether the zombie would see her body or not, but that it was a very impolite thing to do.

'Em… Talking about being polite with a zombie? It feels weird… Am I having some weird thoughts?' Lu Tianyi showed a very complicated and confused look on his face, for no other reason but himself.

The young male zombie who was forbidden from looking at Lin Qiao by Lu Tianyi didn't understand why he couldn't look.

Lu Tianyi had surely detected his thoughts from his face, but how was he supposed to explain it to the zombie?
