Chapter 572: Is It Because Of The Baby?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Thirty meters… It was not long, but not short either. Only a small number of workers were doing to construction work at first. Only until those former Hades Base residents joined the new base did the construction become rapid.
A day later, that female zombie still didn’t show up. Wu Chengyue knew that she hadn’t left yet, because Lin Feng hadn’t shown up either. It meant that his upgrade wasn’t completed yet.
At that moment, Lin Qiao was facing difficulty down on the bottom of the lake. Things would develop in the opposite direction when they became extreme. When Lin Qiao handed Lin Feng the third zombie nucleus, some negative effects showed up.
She was too anxious for success. As a result, the situation was a little out of control now.
That was what Lin Qiao was thinking at the moment. Before Lin Feng, she had spent quite some energy to help Yuan Tianxing with the upgrade. And after that, she started upgrading Lin Feng without taking a rest, and encountered such a difficult situation. Her will power was actually reducing at the moment.
Lin Feng had absorbed too much energy. He wasn’t able to control such a big amount of energy, so he nearly let his body explode. Lin Qiao suppressed that energy with the energy from the lake to save from being blown up by the excessive energy.
Lin Qiao wanted to stop the energy for good, but she couldn’t do it. All she could do was to try her best to channel the energy which had accumulated inside his body into his brain. At the same time, she needed to pay attention to the limit of the amount of energy that his nucleus could accept.
So now, Lin Qiao and Lin Feng were stuck in the situation.
They didn’t come out the first day after they went into the space. The second day, Yuan Tianxing went upstairs to ask Duan Juan about them, and learned that they were still in there. Then, the third day and the fourth day had passed, and the two of them still didn’t show up.
Lin Family people had all gathered in Lin Qiao’s room to wait for her anxiously.
“She’s really been too harsh on herself. Could anything bad happen to her? It never took so long before, right?” Mrs. Lin sat on the couch, her fingers woven together, twisting.
“Mom, it’s fine. She’s fine…” The short-haired Lin Wenwen squatted next to her mother and gently patted her hand while comforting her.
“But her condition… She’s not alone. Has the baby been affecting her?” Mrs. Lin looked at the other worryingly.
Hearing that, the others fell into silence.
Only Lin Wenwen, Lin Hao, and Cheng Wangxue were in the room. They were all family, so Mrs. Lin wasn’t trying to hide Lin Qao’s pregnancy. In fact, that was exactly what she had been worrying about.
Lin Qiao was a zombie now, and she was pregnant. Her family was very frightened of the instability of that baby, because they didn’t know about it.
Downstairs, Yuan Tianxing had been a little absent-minded at work these days. But still, he needed to work.
Wu Chengyue was pacing in his room, glancing at the door from time to time. He was waiting Xiao Licheng to bring him the news.
In Lin Qiao’s space, Lu Tianyi was still standing on the balcony, his eyes fixed on the lake. The swirl in the lake was gone, replaced by roaring waves. At the same time, an unstable pressure had been coming out of the lake wave by wave.
It started two days ago, and hadn’t ended.
Seeing that, Lu Tianyi figured that Lin Qiao might have encountered an unexpected situation down at the lake bottom.
Lin Qiao clenched her teeth as she suppressed the energy inside Lin Feng’s body with all her will power. The energy had accumulated to a certain degree. If Lin Feng couldn’t upgrade, he might suffer a counterforce. Therefore, Lin Qiao could not relax at the moment, but had to grit her teeth and hold on.
However, she was already exhausted, as she had been suppressing that energy for four days. She felt so stressed that her nerves seemed to even explode.
At that point, Lin Feng lost consciousness. If he were still awake, he would be able to try to control the energy inside him. But, as he had passed out, things became even more difficult for Lin Qiao.
At that time in the Earth Dragon Base, Long Yubai was arguing with a few men in the conference room.
“No! If we let them go now, we wouldn’t know how much stronger they might become when we come back from Huaxia Base. I’ve found out that they’ve been improving fast because that woman named Lu Tianyu has some special way to upgrade superpowers within a short time span. A couple of days ago when you went to attack that Sea City Base woman, Yuan Tianxing was still at level-six. But now, he has already broken into level-seven!” Long Yubai paced around the table. His pretty brows were knitted into a big frown as he continued, “If we leave for Huaxia Base now, we’d have no time to deal with Upper City Base. But, the antidote is so important, and we have to get some. If even you can’t approach that base, who can?”
While speaking, he looked at a dark-skinned, slim man.
That man sat there silently. He had a square face and a thick pair of eyebrows, which made his small eyes look even smaller. However, those small eyes had been giving out a fierce vibe.
“That Wu Chengyue has already stepped into level-eight, and he has lightning power. He’d spot me if I approached,” said Lu Zhuofeng with a deep voice.
“But, they don’t have a ton of antidote. We won’t get any if we don’t get there as soon as we can. Yubai, do you want to give up on our chance of getting the antidote?” Another man asked Long Yubai with disagreement. ”
“How can we possibly give up!” Long Yubai responded. That was the antidote of the zombie virus. With that, he would be able to clean out all the zombies around his base. Killing all the zombies in the world sounded impossible, but taking out all the zombies in a city could still be counted as a big step forward.
However, he was also eager to destroy that newly founded small base in Upper City District, because that was a resurgence of Hades Base. If he didn’t destroy that base while it was still weak, some unexpected change might happen, as the strength of that base had been growing rapidly.
Also…
“They have zombie dominators. If we don’t catch those zombies as soon as we can, the other bases might discover them and come to get them! Besides, we haven’t figured out how those people have been controlling zombies and even zombie dominators. One zombie dominator can already be troublesome enough. What if they found more of them?”
Those were his concerns.
Long Yubai had been watching Upper City District since he escaped from there and returned to his base. He had learned about the zombie wall, and the fact that zombies were under the Upper City Base’s control and administration like an army.
He had been trying to figure out why and how, but his people couldn’t get into Upper City Base.
So, he asked Lu Zhuofeng, who had just broken into level eight, for help this time.
Lu Zhuofeng heard about what Yan Fangyu did from Sea City Base, so he decided to kill her and create some troubles for the Upper City Base.
