The squad leader looked at Lin Wenwen and asked her, "Are you really okay?"
By that time, she had recovered from the pain already. So, she raised her head while smiling at the squad leader and said, "I'm okay. But, we need to head back to the base ahead of schedule."
The squad leader was a thirty-year-old man, level-five green-power possessor. Hearing her, he nodded and said before going downstairs, "No problem!"
"What happened?" Long Qingying looked at Lin Wenwen and asked.
The latter rubbed her temples as she slightly furrowed her brows and said, "I don't know. I had a sharp headache, as if something was drilling into my brain. I need to go back and let Lin Hao give me a check-up."
"Is that the first time you have had such a headache?" Long Qingying asked.
Lin Wenwen nodded.
Seeing that, Long Qingying and Three made eye-contact with each other.
"We should head back to see Doctor Lin as soon as possible. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen!" said Three.
Lin Wenwen was one of the few space possessors in the base, and was also Doctor Lin's sister. No accident could happen to her.
Three had no idea why Chief cared so much for Lin Wenwen. Last time, Chief sent Lin Kui, Mo and Ye Qingxian to protect her, and this time, she sent Three and Four. Even though he didn't know the reason, but Three really didn't dare to be careless about Lin Wenwen's safety.
"We should head back right now," Long Qingying agreed, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"Eh? Aren't we gonna wait for the others to come back?" Lin Wenwen hurriedly asked.
"No. Your situation is more important," Long Qingying expressionlessly held her hand and headed downstairs.
"Um… We should leave someone here waiting for them. At least, we need to let them know that we're heading back. Otherwise, Kong Qingming would be worried to death if he came back here to find that we're all gone," Lin Wenwen looked at Long Qingying's swaying ponytail and said.
"Your call," Long Qingying responded to her with simple words.
The four went downstairs, and then Lin Wenwen said to the squad leader, "Captain Huang, leave two of your men here to wait for Kong Qingming and his people. Tell them about our situation, in case they get worried when they can't find us."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Kong Qingming and his team killed a level-six mutated plant and brought back the nucleus. But by the time they returned, Long Qingying and her people were already gone.
"Lin Wenwen suddenly had a headache? What happened?" Kong Qingming looked at the two soldiers who were left there to wait for him and his people with confusion.
"No idea! That's all we know," the two soldiers shook their heads.
Kong Qingming frowned slightly and said, "Let's head to All Beings Base too. We can meet Chief Wu there."
They weren't far away from All Beings Base, so it only took about an hour for Long Qingying and the others to drive back to the base. Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying headed to the medical department to see Lin Hao once they arrived at the base. The other was performing an operation on a patient, so they waited for him in his office.
"Big Sister left for Sky Fire Base? How many people did she take with her?" Back in the base, they heard that Chief had left in the morning with some others. This time, she was making a journey to Sky Fire Base, and her target should be Li Zhengye.
Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying sat in Lin Hao's office, talking to each other.
"She brought about ten of the members from Base Number Two," said Long Qingying.
Lin Wenwen nodded and said, "Isn't it too rushed? Has Big Sister taken care of those underground creatures yet? What if those things come out again while she's gone?"
"I heard that she solved that problem temporarily. Otherwise, she wouldn't leave the base," said Long Qingying.
Lin Qiao wasn't that kind of person who would leave behind an unsolved problem.
"I heard Big Sister took in the level-eight underground creature as her new pet. That's why she's not worried that those creatures might come out to bring trouble again." The door was opened as Lin Hao walked in and answered Lin Wenwen's question.
Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying were both shocked.
"Wait, what? Pet?" The two managed to process what they just heard in two or three seconds. Lin Wenwen looked at Lin Hao with disbelief, as if she was doubting her own ears. Long Qingying was a little calmer than her, but she still popped her eyes in surprise. About two seconds later, she abruptly relaxed her tightened face.
That made sense. Her Chief was no longer an ordinary being. She had founded a zombie army, and now, she was forming a pet army too. Well, every new pet of hers was scarier than the old ones.
"Our Chief is amazing!" Long Qingying sighed.
Lin Wenwen closed her mouth and said, "How did she do that? I heard that she couldn't do anything to the big one the other night. How come she turned it into her new pet within such a short time?"
Lin Hao shrugged as he sat down on his seat and said, "How am I supposed to know? You should ask her. Alright, tell me about your condition. Are you injured?"
Once he came out of the surgery room, a nurse told him that Lin Wenwen was waiting for him in his office. She wouldn't come to his place unless she needed help.
He was wondering if she was injured out there. As he came to his office, he heard the two girls talk about Chief.
"I had a headache, but I don't know what was going on. It was a sharp pain. Give me a check-up," Lin Wenwen quickly stood up and walked up to his desk, then put her hand in his.
Lin Hao gave her a glance with confusion, then pressed a hand on hers to sense her body condition with his power.
He had green-power, but unlike the other green-power possessors, he was able to sense the body conditions of the other people, and if their energies were healthy. Because of his special power and his experience of learning in medical school, he became a doctor in the base and started running the medical department.
He spent a short while feeling Lin Wenwen's body condition, then wore a serious look on his face.
Seeing the look, both Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying had their hearts sinking. However, before Lin Hao took away his hand, the two girls didn't say anything.
Another while later, as Lin Hao took away his hand, Lin Wenwen couldn't help but ask him, "What's wrong? Your expression told me that my condition isn't good."
While speaking, Lin Wenwen looked at him with her brows knitted.
Lin Hao rested his elbows on the desk and crossed his fingers under his nose. After a short silence, he said, "The problem isn't big, but it's not small either. I think your second superpower is going to upgrade soon. Do you have two types of energy in your body?"
Lin Wenwen nodded and said, "Yes, but they never affected each other… Are you saying that because my second superpower is going to upgrade, something happened between my two types of energy and caused the headache?"
Lin Hao nodded, "Em… In comparison with your second type of energy, your space energy is very strong. However, your second type of energy is aggressive. It's ready to enter level-two, so it's now trying to erupt."
