On the bottom of the lake inside the space, Lin Qiao spent a few hours filtering the energy for Liu Jun, and then the latter broke straight into level-five. Maybe because she had water power and was on the lake bottom, Lin Qiao felt that upgrading her was much easier and quicker than upgrading Xie Dong.
After getting out of the water, Lin Qiao brought Liu Jun out of the space, straight to the wooden cabin near the sweetcorn filed.
“How do you feel? Can you sense the water molecules in a wider range now?” Lin Qiao looked at Liu Jun and asked.
Liu Jun stood before the cabin and took a deep breath, then nodded and said, “Yes, I am more sensitive than before. I can also feel that my body is full of energy. I think I can condense the moisture from the air even if there’s no water source near me.”
Lin Qiao sniffed around, then abruptly asked Shen Yujen, “Did Wu Chengyue just come here?”
Shen Yujen nodded.
“Why?” Lin Qiao crossed her arms before her chest.
Shen Yujen pointed a finger at her.
“To look for me?” Lin Qiao looked at her with surprise.
Shen Yujen nodded.
Lin Qiao didn’t go back to the base, but spent the afternoon near the wooden cabin. She cut trees on the hill with the other zombies, then burned some weeds, trees, and leaves with her power.
Those zombies were working with their claws, and their claws were much sharper than any knife. They were able to cut off one wrist-thick tree with one hack, not to mention the bushes and weeds. Soon, the hill was quickly cleaned out.
At night, Lin Qiao sent the group of zombies back into her space, then fetched a bucket of water from the lake for them to drink. She didn’t have to distribute the water to each zombie anymore, and only needed to fetch the water from the lake. The spirit-powered young male zombie would distribute the water.
The young spirit-powered male zombie was very smart, and was fair. At least, he would give each zombie the same amount of water.
Lin Qiao ordered those zombies not to leave, promising them two hours of bathing time in the lake water when they finished developing the surrounding land and hills.
Last time, she let each of those zombies bathe for three minutes, after which, those zombies longed for the feeling of being surrounded by energy all the time. Therefore, they were all very obedient to Lin Qiao now.
That night, once she returned to the lobby of the hotel, Qiu Lili leaped down the building and ran to her side.
“They sent that woman back,” Qiu Lili pulled her little purse in front of her and then took out a bag, handing to Lin Qiao. When the latter took over the bag and opened it, Qiu Lili took out five zombie nuclei.
Lin Qiao had sensed those zombie nuclei long ago, but she didn’t care about them. What she cared about was the bagful of seeds given by Wu Chengyue. The seeds were contained in tiny vacuum bags. Lin Qiao found with surprise the seeds of precious rice and wheat, tomato, cucumber, and some other plants.
Seeing those seeds, she started feeling strange.
The other seeds were explainable, but she did not think that Wu Chengyue would give her the seeds of rice and wheat. Those were staple food. It was very hard to grow rice and wheat in the soil after the apocalypse, and those seeds were very precious. Lin Qiao didn’t understand why he gave her those seeds.
It seemed like he was trying to please her!
“Can you make these grow?” Qiu Lili asked her.
“Yeah! With the lake water, I can make anything grow. Don’t forget that the water in my lake is not just effective on zombies and human beings,” Lin Qiao nodded. She looked at the seeds in her hand. Those were only tens of seeds, but were already enough.
“Are you going to plant these seeds in Mount Wu area?” Qiu Lili asked curiously.
“No. I’ll plant them in my space first, then sow the second and the third batch of seeds out here,” Lin Qiao shook her head.
The air in her space contained energy, and was isolated from the world outside. In her space, plants could grow much faster than usual. The second and third batch of seeds from the base would contain enough energy to fight against the virus outside.
“Oh!” Qiu Lili nodded.
Lin Qiao walked up to the fifth floor with Qiu Lili, then sensed that someone was in her room.
“Are you allowed to come into my room without an invitation?” Lin Qiao stood by the door with discontentment as she crossed her arms before her chest and looked at Wu Chengyue, who was sitting leisurely in her room. Wu Yueling was also in her room, chasing behind the rabbit.
“I didn’t want to, but Ling Ling insisted on coming here. What could I do?” Wu Chengyue spread his hands.
Seeing Lin Qiao, Wu Yueling immediately stopped chasing the rabbit, then turned and rushed toward the door. She jumped at Lin Qiao and hugged her thighs, then reached her little hands toward Lin Qiao’s belly.
Speechlessly, Lin Qiao lowered her head to look at Wu Yueling who was touching her lower belly. She then raised her head to look at Wu Chengyue and found him gazing at her belly, eyes glowing with a dim light.
Lin Qiao’s heart flipped, as she had a bad feeling.
“It seems that Ling Ling is missing Viney. I wonder how Viney has been,” Wu Chengyue abruptly curved his sexy lips in a smile, then raised his head and looked at Lin Qiao in the eyes while asking the question.
Lin Qiao raised her eyebrows, silently taking a step backward. Then, she held the little one’s hand which was reaching her stomach and brought the girl to the couch, making her sit down.
“Ling Ling and Viney did get along well. Viney is sleeping now. I don’t know about her current situation either,” Lin Qiao said to him.
Wu Yueling was frowning with confusion, maybe because she felt nothing from Lin Qiao’s belly. When she heard what Lin Qiao said, the frown disappeared from her face.
So, Viney was sleeping. No wonder she didn’t talk to Ling Ling.
“Is that so? When she grows up, how are you gonna treat her?” Wu Chengyue looked at her and asked.
Lin Qiao looked back at his slender eyes and responded confusedly, “What do you mean? I surely will treat her like my child.”
“What about me? How are you gonna treat me?” Wu Chengyue smilingly gazed into her eyes, saying, “We’ve cleared the debts that we owed each other before. But, half of that baby is mine. Are you gonna have her for yourself?”
“Do you want the baby?” Lin Qiao looked at her with surprise. In fact, she understood that Wu Chengyue would care about Viney, but had no choice but to pretend to not know about it. Otherwise, the situation would become awkward, and she would fall into a disadvantage!
Wu Chengyue’s eyebrows and mouth corners twitched slightly. He stayed silent for three seconds, then said word by word, “Of course, I want her! She’s my first biological child. Do you think that I’m that kind of man who’ll abandon his child?”
Wu Chengyue understood that he must stay calm right now, and that he could not attack her!
