Zombie Sister Strategy-Chapter 1386 - Man-Made Mutation
After spending a moment being shocked, Lin Qiao looked at Teng and asked, “So, was it you who saved me?”
Reading Teng’s mind, she was even more surprised. She couldn’t help but look at the boy from head to toe with her eyes popped in shock. She couldn’t have thought that his son actually possessed such a power. He was the one who brought her back to life! Did all space possessors have such magical powers? The boy brought his mother back to life and gave her a new body while Lin Wenwen traveled through time to seven years ago!
Teng thought for a moment and said, “Em, I think so. But my power wasn’t really awake back then. I don’t know how it suddenly erupted…”
He started to recall things clearly only after he was born. Before that, his memories were disordered and unclear.
Mothers tended to protect their children from dangers at any cost; that was in the nature of mothers. What Teng did for his Mama was probably due to the same kind of reason.
Lin Qiao dropped the files in her hand and lifted the boy to put him on her lap. She held him tight in her arms and rested her chin on the boy’s hairless head.
“I used to hate Yang Jianhua’s guts, but now I have to thank him for bringing you to me.”
She never figured out why exactly she came back to life from death, but she never thought that it was Teng who saved her. The kid gave her a second chance to live.
Sensing Lin Qiao’s complicated feelings, Teng gently patted her arm and said, “Em, I’m also grateful to him for letting me become Mama’s son!”
Wu Yueling looked at the boy and his mother with confusion. She didn’t understand their conversation, but seeing Lin Qiao hold Teng affectionately, she couldn’t help but spread her arms to join the hug.
Lin Qiao lifted Wu Yueling and put her on the couch, rubbing her head.
“Alright, you two should go to bed. Ling Ling, bring Teng to the bed and go to sleep.” After rubbing the girl’s head, Lin Qiao put Teng in front of her.
“Mm… Goodnight, Mama.” Wu Yueling slid off from the couch and lifted Teng as she said goodnight to Lin Qiao. Then, she turned and headed toward their room.
“Goodnight,” Lin Qiao responded to her. After watching the two kids walk into the room, she picked up the files and continued reading. In the file was what Professor Bai experienced in the underground world and what he had done down there.
After spending a whole night reading, Lin Qiao finally figured the whole thing out.
Professor Bai and his men went underground to find the source of the zombie virus, which caused the apocalypse. Many scientists believed it had something to do with what existed underground, and that was why they went down. Down there, they encountered a lot of mutated creatures. It was less than two years after the apocalypse, and mankind didn’t yet have strong superpowers or weapons. Therefore, facing those ferocious, extremely strong underground creatures which were not afraid of superpowers, those people were undoubtedly defenseless.
Professor Bai wasn’t the kind of man who would give up easily. While hiding from the underground creatures, he explored the underground realm and performed all kinds of tests and experiments. During all that, he mixed something together by accident and caused the air in the underground space to change. At first, underground creatures could not upgrade as rapidly as they could now. But after what Professor Bai did, upgrading became easier for underground creatures. When things went out of control, he and his men suffered attacks from the underground creatures.
After reading the report, Lin Qiao snorted in her head. It was just like how she guessed. Professor Bai was indeed the person who caused the underground realm to be filled with that dark kind of power. Thankfully, Lin Wenwen brought back uninfected catmint from the past. Without that, the poisonous energy from the underground couldn’t possibly be fully neutralized.
In the worst case scenario, the underground energy might gush out to the earth’s surface someday, and Lin Qiao had been preparing for that. After learning that the energy from her space and the catmint were able to neutralize the underground energy, she had started growing catmint in her space, using the seeds that Lin Wenwen brought back from the past. Of course, the one taking care of those seedlings was still Lu Tianyi, the only manager of the farm in her space.
Lin Qiao sent another batch of zombies into the space to work under his command. After all, he needed a lot of manpower to develop new fields and sow seeds. Sadly, Xie Dong already had Liu Jun’s heart. If that didn’t happen, Lin Qiao would make her and Lu Tianyi a match. They were both farming experts, after all!
As Lin Qiao had that thought, Liu Jun, who was working in the Mount Wu farm, sensed a chill in her back. She had no idea where that feeling came from. Lu Tianyi, who was working in Lin Qiao’s space, experienced the same.
Then, Lin Qiao started thinking about her little brother and little sister, who were both still single. She wondered when could those two each find someone.
Lin Hao wasn’t a boy anymore. Was there a girl who could make a match with him?
Lin Qiao waved a hand near her head to help her get rid of those thoughts and lowered her head to continue reading.
Through five years of development, the underground energy had almost filled up the entire underground space, and it would certainly leak out in a couple of years. The underground creatures had found their way up to the earth’s surface, so the energy would certainly be able to come out as well. Moreover, it could grow further stronger, and the result of that would be hard to imagine.
After finishing reading, Lin Qiao entered her space and saw some level three and four zombies loosening the soil under Lu Tianyi’s lead. The work was in full swing. She looked at Lu Tianyi and felt that it was about the time to upgrade him. He was still at level-five, clearly not strong enough. Lin Qiao decided to bring him up to level-six before the problem started by Huaxia Base was solved.
Not only Lu Tianyi, but also the ones who followed her underground would all be upgraded. However, she needed some more zombie nuclei to bring the level-six ones to level-seven. She probably needed to ask Yun Meng and the others to go out of the base to collect some.
After Lin Qiao entered level-eight, her space had grown much larger than before, and the lake had grown larger as well. The land near the three houses, the woods, and the land in front of the houses, all those three areas had become much wider than before. The boundary of the land on the other side of the lake could no longer be seen. The three smaller spaces located behind the houses were now miles away from the houses, barely visible.
The clearing before the houses was saved for all kinds of activities while the rest of the land surrounding them was occupied by crops or fowls.
