Chapter 448: Tempt The Snake With The Water

Bowwow made two steps, and as the snake didn’t react strongly to it, it made two more steps.

“Squeak!” While getting closer to the snake, the rat which was held in the dog’s mouth sensed a strong scent of its natural enemy. So, it started struggling crazily.

“Don’t get too close,” Lin Qiao said to Bowwow, “Throw the rat at it and then run away.”

“Ow?” Bowwow turned back to give her a glance, and then thought for a moment to figure out her meaning.

It turned its body slightly, then tilted its head and suddenly threw the rat at the snake. After that, it quickly turned around and ran to the tree that Lin Qiao was standing on, then sitting under the tree with its eyes fixed on the snake.

The snake automatically reached out its head to bite the rat when it was thrown over.

“Squeak!” The rat let out a shrill scream when the king cobra’s fangs sank deep into its body.

The snake confusedly glanced at the zombie dog which had run away while holding the rat in its mouth, quietly gazing at Lin Qiao and Bowwow for a few seconds. Then, it raised its head and widened its mouth to swallow the rat alive.

“The snake ate the rat,” said Lin Qiao to Bowwow, “Get back out and catch more. That tiny rat was certainly not enough.”

“Owoo!” Bowwow was delighted as the snake had eaten the food. Hearing what Lin Qiao said, it quickly wagged its tail.

Lin Qiao leaped off the tree and glanced at the snake which had just swallowed the rat, then brought Bowwow out of the space to catch more rats.

This time, she followed the zombie dog into the woods to search for rat nests.

Xie Dong, Shen Yujen, and the other zombies had no idea what Lin Qiao and Bowwow had been doing, and only focused on their own work.

When Bowwow showed up with a large rat in its mouth for the second time, the giant snake actually wore an expectant look in its eyes. But course, it was still on full alert. Meanwhile, it also felt more and more confused. Every time Bowwow showed up before it with a living prey, its face was filled with confusion.

However, it decided not to think so much as long as there was food!

From three o’clock in the afternoon to around eight, Lin Qiao and Bowwow had been catching rats for the snake. They were still doing it even when it was dark on the outside, because the snake had such a great appetite!

The snake was on alert at first, but later, it started to expect food once Lin Qiao and Bowwow showed up. It gradually adapted to the situation and relaxed its vigilance against the two.

Lin Qiao and Bowwow were both pretty tired that afternoon. They caught the snake more than thirty rats, squirrels, and even some birds, only then finally managing to feed the snake up.

Neither of them could get tired physically, but they felt a little tired in their hearts. Lin Qiao now felt that the snake would eat her out of house and home!

However, she had decided to keep it, and would never regret that. The snake would be able to go out and find food for itself when it healed anyway.

Snakes were all cold-blooded, and wouldn’t likely be grateful. So, Lin Qiao didn’t expect the snake in her space to be grateful to her. She had another plan to make it stay willingly.

Without a question, she was going to use the lake water!

Through observance, she found that the snake actually wanted very much to drink from the lake. However, for an unknown reason, it didn’t dare to approach the lake. Viney was no longer in the lake, so at the moment, there was nothing but the energy in it.

Was it because of the energy?

There were some things that were good in small amounts, but might turn bad, or even harmful, when there were too much of it to cope with. It all depended on the situation.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment, and couldn’t tell if it was because the energy in the lake was too strong. So, she found a bucket that was about the size of a laundry bucket. Then, she filled the bucket with lake water and brought it to the snake. She didn’t get close to the snake, but put the bucket on a clearing near it.

The snake had now gained some energy. In order to avoid Bowwow, it climbed into a tree and refused to come down.

Bowwow had spent so much energy to feed the snake, but the latter actually refused to play with it when its appetite was fulfilled. Bowwow didn’t know how to climb a tree, so it stood up and put its forepaws on the tree as it barked at the snake.

“Alright, get over here,” Lin Qiao said to the dog, “It doesn’t want to play with you now. It’ll come down when it feels like playing.”

Bowwow glanced up at the snake unhappily, then walked toward Lin Qiao with its head lowered.

Lin Qiao brought Bowwow out of the woods and checked the strawberry and vegetable fields which had been tidied. After that, she went to fetch water for the group of zombies, leaving Bowwow lying in the grass and feeling bored.

Back in the woods, after she and Bowwow had left, the snake turned its eyes onto the bucket that Lin Qiao had left. The snake spent a while observing the surrounding area. After confirming that the two would not come back, it slowly climbed down the tree and crawled toward the bucket.

It raised its head to glance at the water in the lake, then put its head near the water and stuck out its tongue to lick it. After that, it suddenly lunged its head into the water.

Plop!

Two seconds later, it raised its head. Its eyes shone with a bright light, and its tail was raised too.

Outside the woods, Lin Qiao seemed to have sensed something. When the snake put its head into the bucket, she gave a confident smile.

That trick worked again! It seemed that the energy in her lake was helpful for humans, zombies, and mutated animals.

After giving those zombies a cup of water each, Lin Qiao left her space. It was already dark, but Xie Dong and the others hadn’t stopped working. She didn’t pay more attention to them; they were all zombies anyway, and were able to work at night.

She turned herself invisible and sneaked toward the hotel to visit the little one.

In the hotel, Wu Yueling started to feel down again. The sky had turned dark, but Lin Qiao hadn’t shown up. The little girl pouted her lips and pulled a long face.

Wu Chengyue poked her cheeks and said, “What? You were happy during the daytime. Why are you upset now?”

Wu Yueling turned to give him a glance, then dropped her eyelids, staying silent.

“Let’s go,” Wu Chengyue said to her, “Let’s wash your hand and feet, then get you into the bed. She might come here when you’re asleep.”

Hearing that, Wu Yueling abruptly raised her head to look at her father. She clearly didn’t realize that her movements had exposed something.

Wu Chengyue only gave a faint smile which seemed perfectly normal. But meanwhile, something subtle flashed across his eyes. Then, he brought Wu Yueling to the bathroom to wash her hand and feet.

There was a shortage of water resources in the post-apocalyptic era. Even though there were water-powered people and ice-powered people, he still felt it was necessary to teach his daughter to save water. Therefore, he only gave the child a shower every other day. In the no-shower day, he only let the kid wash her face, hands, feet, and private area.
