Chapter 29: Moving in A Dream

Translator: Law  Editor: Hitesh_

She sat there and fell asleep, getting lost in a dream. In her dream, she exited the space but none of the surrounding people discovered her, as if she was invisible. Then, she broke into a run, her movements smooth and her feet flexible.

She kept running toward the strawberry field. She didn’t know for how long she ran before she saw the strawberry field.

In the next moment, she woke up with a start. Opening her eyes, she looked around and found herself still in the space. She thought that maybe she had such a dream because she wanted so much to leave this location. However, she also felt that it all seemed quite strange.

Did normal zombies dream?

She also found that she was still sitting on the ground with her legs crossed. It was so weird that she could even manage to fall asleep while sitting upright in a meditation posture.

She felt a little thirsty as she glanced at Wu Yueling, who was sitting beside her. The child had found some hay from an unknown source and paved the ground with a thick layer of it. She was now sitting on it, playing with the grass dragonfly that Lin Qiao had made for her.

Lin Qiao stretched her legs and felt that they were still quite stiff. And for an unknown reason, she also sensed a faint pain from them.

With a great effort, she finally stood up from the ground, then slowly walked to the lake. Recalling that this was the place where she took a bath earlier on, she walked around the lake to the other side.

She turned back and glanced at Wu Yueling, who was walking behind her, feeling that this kid was becoming a little dependent on her.

She walked very slowly. Her legs were a little heavy and sore, so she took each step with some difficulty.

She paid close attention to her steps and the lake water while pondering over the question of why a zombie might dream. What she didn’t think about was why her legs were sore. Logically speaking, she was a zombie, and shouldn’t have any sensations at all.

If she had discovered this, she might have realized that some unimaginable changes had happened to her body again, but she didn’t.

After spending half an hour, she finally reached another side of the lake where she stopped and slowly squatted near the water. Then, she directly cupped her hands to drink from the lake. After taking quite a few gulps, she finally felt her energy begin to return.

Having finished drinking, she took a few steps backward, standing by the lake with her eyes closed as she wanted to see if there were still people out there.

But this time, the image which emerged in her mind didn’t come from the same spot that she had entered her space from.

She hurriedly opened her eyes, which reflected her uncertainty, and then immediately closed them again. As she expected, she still couldn’t see the urban area where she had entered the space from, and instead saw a strawberry field.

A mutant strawberry field!

Lin Qiao opened her eyes again, lost in her confusion. She couldn’t understand why she was able to see the strawberry field.

Had she been wrong earlier? Was her vision not limited to the place that she entered the space from? Could she actually see whichever place she wanted to go to?

With this thought in mind, she closed her eyes once again to try and see the location of those soldiers whom she had observed before, but saw nothing. Inside her mind was still the same strawberry field that she had been to before.

How could this happen? Had she left her old location already?

Was this just her imagination? If she went out now, would she still reappear in that place which was guarded by Wu Chengyue and his people?

She thought that it was probable, but the image in her mind was rather clear. The moon was hanging in the sky, showing that it was the middle of the night right now.

Had she truly arrived in the strawberry field already?

This thought lingered in her mind, urging her to go out. She was afraid that she might be wrong, so she didn’t dare to go out immediately, wanting to see if she was right at the same time.

Plop!

She suddenly heard a stone drop into the water.

She opened her eyes to find Wu Yueling squatting by the lakeside, picking up small stones from the ground and mindlessly throwing them into the water. Judging by her expression, she seemed to also want to find out if any other creatures existed in the lake.

Lin Qiao clenched her teeth and decided to go out. She needed to clarify the situation, or she would only be driven to distraction by this question.

If she went out and found that she was still in the area where the army was stationed, at worst, she would come back immediately. She estimated that she could come back in less than a second. Could those few people realize what was happening within such a short time and attack her effectively? She greatly doubted that.

After making the decision, Lin Qiao took a deep breath and then silently said ‘out’ in her heart. After a light flashed across her eyes, she saw a real strawberry field instead of the vision in her mind!

Her eyes widened and a glow flashed across her pure black eyes as she was pleasantly surprised. She circled around and found that she was truly in the strawberry field instead of that urban area.

She still remembered her dream, in which, she had run for a very long time to get to the strawberry field. But in reality, the distance between Wu Chengyue, his people, and this strawberry field was only about ten kilometers. She didn’t need to run for a long time, and could arrive here quickly under normal conditions. However, in her dream, she did spend a long time running.

How could this be? What had happened?

Lin Qiao couldn’t figure this out, feeling that she was out of her depth here!

If she were able to move the space by merely dreaming, then, could she simply dream and make it happen whenever she wanted to escape from inside the space in the future? However, what if she didn’t dream? Or, what if she couldn’t have such a dream on demand?

And dreaming… She couldn’t control that now, could she?

Thinking about this, Lin Qiao wanted to cry a little but failed to shed any tears. She had such a great skill, but didn’t know where the switch was. It was so awful!

She glanced around, once again confirming that she wasn’t dreaming. After that, she bent over and picked two full handfuls of strawberries, which were only around six or seven in number, and then re-entered the space.

Once she was back inside, she saw the bewildered Wu Yueling looking around, seemingly at a loss. She didn’t know what the child was looking for.

The moment Lin Qiao came in, Wu Yueling fixed her eyes on her. Her eyes turned red as she stared at Lin Qiao, her face filled with grievance and dissatisfaction.

Lin Qiao was confused. ‘What does this child want?’

As she couldn’t read the little one’s mind at that moment, she had no choice but to reach out her hands, offering the strawberries to Wu Yueling.

Seeing the strawberries that Lin Qiao held out for her, Wu Yueling paused briefly first, then immediately covered her nose and turned her face while backing away, frowning with dislike.

‘They stink!’

This time, Lin Qiao finally sensed her thought.

How could she coax this child to eat the strawberries? Lin Qiao wondered about this while thinking about the options. In any case, she decided to first wash the strawberries to see if the lake water could wash off the bad smell.

She turned around and walked to the lakeside, squatting there stiffly. She laid the extra large strawberries by the lakeside before putting them in the water one after another and carefully scrubbing them.
