Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes to observe Mo Yan. The cracks in his zombie nucleus had become much thinner than before, but hadn't faded yet. His nucleus was still thickly covered in cracks.
The black marks on his face had grown thinner and less too.
"Your zombie nucleus has been healing. Congratulations! You are going to retain your power," Lin Qiao looked at Mo Yan and said.
However, she still looked at him uncertainly. She wasn't sure if the zombie emperor would go crazy again after regaining his power.
Meanwhile, Mo Yan looked at her silently as Lin Qiao continued, "In fact, I want you to recover your power as soon as possible. With your help, my base will be a lot safer."
She was testing him. Mo Yan had accepted her terms before, but he didn't have any other choice back then. More or less, he should be repulsed by that idea.
And now, Lin Qiao wanted him to stay. He was a zombie emperor, and his vibe naturally suppressed the zombie crowd in the base. All she needed was his trust. It would be fine even if he couldn't regain his power.
Mo Yan curved one corner of his mouth in a charming smile. That cold vibe of his instantly turned half wicked and half positive. But still, he nodded in agreement with Lin Qiao.
Then, he landed his dark-purple eyes on Lin Qiao's pregnant belly with curiosity, seeming to have something to say.
Lin Qiao looked at his eyes and immediately figured out what he was thinking. She thought for a moment and then said, "My body is in a special condition, so this happened. I don't think the same thing can easily happen to the other zombie ladies, such as the one behind you."
While speaking, she glanced at the zombie lady behind Mo Yan. She was prettier than two months ago. Or, specifically, she had been healing too.
Her facial skin was smooth and lustrous again. The huge dark circles under her eyes had mostly faded, leaving a slight hint of it which looked like some eye-shadow now. It made her dark eyes look cold and beautiful while her full lips were tinted with a faint, purple color.
She was always a pretty zombie, but now, she was even better-looking than before. She followed Mo Yan everywhere, but never paid attention to anyone else, looking so cold and proud. Lin Qiao wondered where Mo Yan found that beautiful zombie girl.
Mo Yan didn't turn back, but cast a glance backward.
What he wanted to know was the name of the amazing guy who managed to make zombie Chief lady pregnant. But clearly, she didn't want to tell him. So, he didn't bother to ask that question out loud.
He was surprised to know that Lin Qiao, as a zombie, was actually able to get pregnant. What was she pregnant with? A baby zombie? It was not a human baby, was it?
Lu Tianyi asked a question before Mo Yan could, "So, you are pregnant, but what is the baby? Is she half human and half zombie? Or, an infected human baby? Or just a baby zombie?"
"I am curious about that too," Lin Qiao turned to him and said.
The others didn't know what to say.
So, they needed to wait. Somehow, they felt a little excited about it. But, why?
Lin Qiao looked at Mo Yan and said, "Since my space is indeed helpful for your condition, please stay here and take your time to heal. You have killed the people that you wanted to kill anyway. For some things, it's time to let go. Think about the life you want to live in the future, a new start."
That was what she thought. Unexpectedly, she detected a trace of intention of killing from Mo Yan's eyes as she finished talking.
She paused briefly with surprise, wondering if the zombie emperor had more enemies to kill. Even if that was true, it would be fine actually. However, before he made another move, he needed to grow stronger.
She stood up and walked to the door, preparing to take a look at the farm that was created by Lu Tianyi around her house. But, after making two steps, she turned back and said to Mo Yan, "Also, you two feel free to take a bath in the lake water every day. It should be helpful for both of you."
Currently, there was a pool near the lake filled with lake water. The zombies in the space couldn't approach the lake to fetch water, but were able to fetch from the pool.
Bathing in the lake water every day would be much more efficient than exposing in the air within the space.
Currently, she only allowed Lu Tianyi and her mother to take bath in her space every day, one or two hours every time. As for the other zombies, including Pesticide, Xiao-xiao, and the dozen at level four and three, Lin Qiao let them take a bath every ten days or half a month.
Therefore, Lu Tianyi managed those zombies very easily. The well-behaved ones would be rewarded with an energy bath while the misbehaving ones wouldn't. For the energy bath, all those zombies worked extra hard and didn't feel bored.
Lin Qiao then turned to Lu Tianyi and said, "Just tell them where to fetch water from."
Lu Tianyi gave Mo Yan a glance, then turned and nodded at Lin Qiao. In fact, he had been keeping vigilance against the zombie emperor because the emperor's vibe was way too strong.
By the time Lin Qiao prepared to come out, Pesticide and Xiao-xiao who were peeking from the door had disappeared long ago. Lin Qiao came out to find that the grassland before her house had become a cornfield. Only thirty percent of the land was used for growing all kinds of vegetables. All the seeds that she borrowed from Sea City Base had been planted successfully.
The strawberry filed was thriving and fruitful too. The large and juicy strawberries were hiding under the leaves, covered in vividly red colors and green spots. The leaves couldn't cover them entirely.
Those strawberries could now be counted as a special local product from All Beings Base. They couldn't be found anywhere else other than All Beings Base.
Not including the lake, the woods, and the three houses, about ten acres of land on this side of the lake had become farmland. The rich grassland on the other side of the lake was the territory of those mutated goats and roe deers.
Lin Qiao looked around and made some discoveries. She narrowed her eyes and generated a thought. In the next second, she disappeared from where she was and reappeared in the territory of those mutated goats and roar deers.
Those goats and roe deers gave a start and ran away from her in all directions. Lin Qiao didn't chase them, but stood there as she narrowed her eyes and carefully observed those animals. Then, she sniffed around and confirmed something with her nose.
When she narrowed her eyes, she saw something different from what she could see with her eyes wide open. By narrowing her eyes, she was able to see different types of energy and their colors.
At that moment, she found that the virus energy inside those animals' bodies seemed to have grown weak. The virus still existed inside their bodies, but the younger ones only carried a slight amount of virus. The younger the animal was, the weaker the virus it carried.
The newborn animals were almost virus-free! They looked healthy too, without any sign of mutation.
