Chapter 828: The Condition Was Stable

“Chief, Miss. Lu is in the hospital,” Xiao Licheng received the news the next day and immediately reported to Wu Chengyue about it.

The faint smile disappeared on Wu Chengyue’s face when he heard that. “What’s wrong? Is it bad?” he asked with a calm tone. While speaking, he walked toward his office. He just had a meeting with the other base leaders. The news had stunned him a little.

The zombie lady’s body was already different from the bodies of normal humans. If there was really a problem, the doctors might not be able to fix it. Was the baby having a problem?

Thinking about that, Wu Chengyue had his heart leaping. Yet, he still managed to stay composed.

“I think there’s no big problem. I heard that she needs to stay there for a few days under observation,” Xiao Licheng found it strange too. Many senior managers in All Beings Base knew what their Chief really was. He suspected that they lied about why their Chief was in the hospital. Maybe their Chief wasn’t sick; maybe their Chief was doing some kind of experiment about zombies.

Due to Lin Qiao’s special identity, the information that Xiao Licheng gathered wasn’t detailed enough. He knew that she was in the hospital, because that wasn’t a secret.

Hearing that Miss. Lu was staying in the hospital for observation, Wu Chengyue felt that his guess was right.

“Get ready. I’ll take Ling Ling to visit her now,” Wu Chengyue frowned subtly.

“Yes, sir!” Xiao Licheng quickly turned and left to make arrangements.

At that moment, Lin Qiao was lying on the bed. One day had passed since she first felt dizzy. By now, the energy flow had become smaller, from one percent to one-three-hundredth. The condition seemed to have been stabilizing.

Apart from the fact that her energy had been constantly flowing to her uterus, she felt no other discomfort. And currently, she had regained control of her energy.

Lin Hao told her not to stop Viney from absorbing her power, because that might affect the baby’s development.

“I think it’s getting stable. I just can’t tell how long will the energy absorption last. It might be days, or months,” Lin Hao said to the others in the room while writing something down for the record.

Lin Wenwen and Mrs. Lin were also in the room.

“Will it harm our sister?” Lin Wenwen was still worried. She had asked that same question a few times, and she didn’t even notice.

“So far, our sister isn’t feeling any discomfort, so I think it won’t hurt her. But, I can’t tell for sure about what may happen in the future. After all, it’s the first time we have even heard about this kind of condition. The future is unpredictable,” Lin Hao sighed. He had been telling his family only the good side of his guess, so they wouldn’t be too worried. But deep down, he was preparing himself for the worst. About that, he had talked to Lin Qiao. She needed to have some mental preparations at least.

“It’s okay. Viney is so smart. She won’t let anything happen to herself or me.” Seeing the worried look of her sister and mother, Lin Qiao felt warm as she comforted them with a smile.

Lin Qiao knew that Mrs. Lin had gradually accepted her current look. At first, she did have some ill feelings when looking at her daughter, who was with someone else’s face. She never talked about it though.

But at present, she had already accepted Lin Qiao’s current appearance and nature deep down. That was why she was so worried about her now.

At night when she was alone in the room, Lin Qiao took out a zombie nucleus and put it on her palm to absorb it. Her own nucleus remained the same. Once it was saturated, it couldn’t absorb more energy. She hadn’t been able to break out of the saturated state.

Without breaking through that saturated state, she would never be able to enter level-eight.

She let out all zombies in her space, except for Mo Yan and his female zombie, as well as the three creatures.

Mo Yan was sitting in his room. He had been in the space for a few days. There was no day or night in the space, but his watch helped him to keep a track of time.

He had been feeling hungry these days, which might be because of his broken nucleus.

He wanted meat!

Every time that thought popped up in his mind, he thought of those alive human hearts that he had had before, fresh and sweet. However, only zombies and mutated animals lived in the space. He had no appetite for those at all. The only thing that was able to quench his hunger was the lake water.

Mo Yan had also discovered that the water in the house he lived in gave out the same kind of aroma as the water in the lake. But, he had also sensed a scary pressure from the lake, which forbade him from approaching that area.

In fact, he had sensed the same aroma from Lin Qiao.

That zombie lady’s vibe was strange. It contained the aroma from the lake and another smell, which was unique. Her vibe was attractive, and also intimidating.

He had nothing to do in the space, and Lin Qiao had brought all the other zombies away. Sometimes, he sat by the window, looking at the giant black snake chasing behind the zombie dog and the mushroom; at other times, he strolled near the field downstairs or stood by the lake for hours.

The female zombie followed him everywhere, healing him with her power every day.

Lin Qiao might have done something to improve her healing power, as her power worked much better in the space than outside. But still, it was only able to fix Mo Yan’s broken nucleus very slowly.

“Roar…” ‘I can absorb the water here.’

The female zombie stood behind Mo Yan and looked at the lake that was about five meters away from her as she roared to Mo Yan abruptly.

Mo Yan turned to look at her and nodded.

He knew that the lake water contained a strong energy. He had drunk some of the water a couple of days ago, and had surely sensed the energy. He was able to absorb the energy. As the female zombie was also able to absorb it, he guessed that all zombies could absorb the energy from the water.

However, he didn’t dare to go into the lake, and neither did the female zombie.

The female zombie stayed silent. She only wanted to share her discovery with Mo Yan. Mo Yan turned and walked toward the house, and the female zombie quietly followed him.

…

On the other side, Lu Tong had started planning something else. He had been watching Yuan Tianxing lately. He found that the latter went to the hospital every afternoon, but didn’t know whom he was visiting.

As a common resident in the base, he didn’t know that Lin Qiao was in the hospital. So, he was curious when he saw Yuan Tianxing go to the hospital every single day.

He first followed Yuan Tianxing, but then saw a group of soldiers guarding one of the entrances of the medical department. He didn’t try to get in recklessly, but stayed around to see if anyone else could have access. After observation, he found that people weren’t allowed in the area that was guarded by those soldiers.
