We Can't

307

Hu Wen Cheng looked at me like I was speaking a completely different language, and perhaps I was. But this tree gave me the same feeling that the Tree of Life did, and here it was, growing inside the lobby of this building.

"I am guessing that no one here has had a midnight zombie visitor," I smiled, turning my attention back to the tree that was practically begging for my attention. 

Connecting with it again, I let my power flow into it. 

And in return, I took some of its power, too.

"Now that you've mentioned it, no, we haven't," mused the Guild leader as he stared at me. "I thought that it was just because the zombies assumed that there was no one here."

"No, they tried," I said; I could feel the pain from the tree from where parts of its roots had been cut. But it healed almost as fast as the zombies did, so eventually, the zombies had just given up.
