Chapter 227: Chapter 228: Little Qiqi, I Want to Talk to Your Dad!

This time, discovering the traces of the Human Evolver in time, Little Qiqi made great contributions.

The promised barbecue feast for Little Qiqi before, Lu Chuan immediately arranged it after the crisis was resolved.

Outside the house, waves of heat rolled in, and pieces of glowing red charcoal emitted scorching flames.

On the grill, skewers of lamb and other meats, under Lu Chuan’s control, continuously spun, sizzling with oil and releasing a tempting aroma.

Not far from the barbecue stand, Ji Ruxue obediently sat at the table, holding a bottle of milk, sipping while watching her father’s busy figure.

After a short while, seeing that the meat skewers on the grill were almost cooked, Lu Chuan sprinkled cumin and other seasonings, spun them around twice, then picked up all the skewers and placed them on the prepared plate.

Next, putting the vegetable skewers on the grill, Lu Chuan carried the plate and walked towards Little Qiqi, placing the skewers on the table.

Gesturing for Little Qiqi to eat first, Lu Chuan was about to turn around to tend to the vegetable skewers.

At this time, Ji Ruxue’s voice came through.

"Dad, why not unlock Zhao Lin’s chains? She’s miserable being chained all the time, and she even wanted to help you fight the bad guys yesterday!"

Ji Ruxue gazed expectantly at Lu Chuan.

Not far away, Zhao Lin, who was sitting on the slide, was overjoyed upon hearing Little Qiqi’s words, hurriedly glanced at Lu Chuan, her eyes uncertain.

Lu Chuan’s movements paused, surprised, he glanced at Zhao Lin.

This foolish woman was so kind-hearted, even wanted to help me fight humans?

He naturally found this hard to believe.

After all, given her character, she values the lives of human survivors more than her own life, always talking about the protection of civilian safety... how could she possibly help a zombie like him?

"It’s true, she really said that to me."

Seeing her father’s hesitant demeanor, Ji Ruxue nodded her little head energetically, speaking with certainty.

The reason she wanted her dad to unlock Zhao Lin’s chains was naturally purposeful.

She wanted to continue testing Zhao Lin. If after unlocking the chains, Zhao Lin remained honest without any attempt to escape, it would indicate no ulterior motives.

But if Zhao Lin was not honest, then there would be no need to keep her, and they might as well eliminate her.

After all, Zhao Lin knows more about the farm than people outside know about the Human Base City.

For instance, knowing that Dad is actually the Zombie King and has human consciousness, so if she escapes, the consequences would be very serious.

And Lu Chuan, naturally looked down upon Zhao Lin, this foolish woman, not wanting to unlock her, since she always stirs up trouble.

However, now that Little Qiqi has spoken, as her dad, he couldn’t let the little one lose face.

Fine, considering that this woman has recently been honestly tutoring Little Qiqi and bringing a lot of joy to the little one.

Today, I will be magnanimous.

Having made up his mind, Lu Chuan first nodded towards Little Qiqi, then took out paper and pen, wrote on the paper: "Since Little Qiqi wants Zhao Lin’s chains unlocked, Dad agrees with you.

However, this is only a temporary unlock, lest she creates trouble in the future, Dad will still need to lock her up."

Lu Chuan was actually not worried about Zhao Lin at all, with the fourth-level Corpse Puppet around, given her current strength, she definitely could not escape his grasp.

"Thank you, Dad! Rest assured, Zhao Lin will surely behave!"

Upon hearing, Ji Ruxue was very happy, jumped down from the chair, bouncing to Lu Chuan’s side, pulling his clothes corner, and said with a giggle.

Zhao Lin, who was anxiously waiting, seeing this scene, naturally knew the Zombie King agreed.

Immediately, she excitedly stood up from the slide, feeling a bit impatient.

"This Zombie King, is actually reasonable, finally free..."

Locked here, although having no worries about food and drink, there was entirely no freedom, even going to a relatively distant place was impossible, lying on the slide every day, staring at the unchanged surroundings, Zhao Lin had long been sick of it.

However, she also knew she was a prisoner, captive, her value to the Zombie King probably only remained in accompanying Little Qiqi.

So naturally, she did not dare to wish she could be unlocked with a single word.

Only Little Qiqi, doted on by the Zombie King, her words were more effective.

Next, Lu Chuan carried Little Qiqi back to the chair and then walked to the slide.

Clatter~

Lu Chuan unlocked Zhao Lin’s chains, releasing her.

Whew!

Breaking free, Zhao Lin let out a long breath, feeling the surrounding air much fresher, freedom indeed!

"Thank you, Zombie King!"

After loosening her hands and feet, stretching her muscles, the joyful Zhao Lin did not forget to give Lu Chuan a word of thanks.

Lu Chuan glanced at her with his faint red eyes, ignored her, and turned back to the grill.

If dragged on, the vegetable skewers would probably be burnt.

"Zhao Lin, come quickly, Dad’s barbecued skewers are delicious!"

Ji Ruxue held a half-eaten skewer with her little hand, her mouth full of oil, and called out to Zhao Lin.

"Little Qiqi, thank you! Otherwise, I wouldn’t know when I could escape."

Upon hearing, Zhao Lin, with a big smile, walked to the table in a few steps, sat down, and sincerely thanked Little Qiqi.

This time, Little Qiqi indeed helped her a great deal.

"It’s okay, didn’t you say you wanted to help Dad fight the bad guys before? From now on, you and I are on the same team, naturally, we won’t lock you up anymore."

Ji Ruxue shook her head meaningfully.

Next, let’s see if you truly intend to join Dad and me in this little group, if there are ulterior motives... then don’t blame me.

Hearing Little Qiqi’s words, Zhao Lin’s expression became slightly complex, yet she still nodded earnestly.

"Eat! Barbecue is delicious!"

Ji Ruxue smiled, grabbed a bunch of skewers, and handed them to Zhao Lin.

"Thank you."

Zhao Lin smiled and accepted, and the two started eating.

Moments later, Zhao Lin, who had eaten heartily, felt something was missing, then promptly called out to Lu Chuan, who was busy at the barbecue stand: "Zombie King, could I have a beer?"

Upon hearing, Lu Chuan felt a bit speechless, yet still controlled the Corpse Puppet to fetch a bottle of beer from the warehouse and deliver it to her.

Half an hour later, on the table lay two piles of bare wooden skewers, Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin both rubbed their round bellies, reclining on the chairs, both utterly stuffed.

Especially on Zhao Lin’s side, there were also three empty beer cans on the table.

After resting for a while, Zhao Lin suddenly recalled her previous idea, humans and zombies coexisting peacefully... mustering her courage, she said to Little Qiqi beside her: "Little Qiqi, can I talk to your dad?"
