"So, what you're trying to say is… my two types of energy are conflicting?" Lin Wenwen asked.
Not many people possessed two types of energies, but she was certainly not the only one. How come all the other dual-powered people managed to upgrade safely while she had such a problem?
Normally, the other dual-powered people triggered their two different superpowers together. Unlike them, her second type of superpower woke up later than her first superpower. Was that the reason why she was different from the others?
"Your case is… special," Lin Hao leaned on the back of the chair and folded his arms before his chest. He thought for a moment, then organized his language and explained, "I felt that your second superpower is like a raging tiger, with a very strong territorial awareness. Before, that energy is weak, so it didn't dare to fight against your space power. It had been hiding inside your body. Now, it's ready to upgrade, but your space power makes it feel under threat and agitated. That's why you had that headache."
Hearing his explanation, Lin Wenwen finally understood it. "So, will the headache happen frequently before it upgrades?"
Thinking about that, Lin Wenwen instantly felt not so happy. Would she suffer headaches every time her second superpower prepared to upgrade? It sounded like PMS.
Lin Hao looked at her with a frown and said, "As I have said, your case is special. I don't know what might happen to you if you fail to upgrade. The energies that you now have in the nucleus in your brain seem hard to deal with to me."
His tone of speaking was a little heavy. Lin Wenwen looked at him with confusion.
"Wenwen, don't you have any presentiment?" Long Qingying asked.
Lin Wenwen shook her head and said, "No. I didn't feel anything except the headache that happened this morning."
Lin Hao and Long Qingying both knitted their brows.
"Oh, have you drunk Big Sister's lake water to suppress your power yet?" Lin Hao asked.
Lin Hao knew that Lin Qiao's all-purpose lake water was able to suppress awakening superpowers, but he had no idea if it could help Lin Wenwen or not.
Lin Wenwen shook her head and said, "No. Big Sister's lake water can suppress awakening power. I was worried that it might hinder my upgrade, so I didn't take any."
What if the lake water kept her from upgrading, or caused any other unwanted effects?
Lin Hao thought for a moment; he wasn't sure either.
"But, you have to try. Based on your current condition, your second superpower needs to completely suppress your space power to upgrade, or, consume your space power up. Otherwise, your space power will keep your second power from upgrading," said Lin Hao.
Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying glanced at each other, both pondering over his words.
"Since we can't use Chief's lake water, I think we should try the second way you mentioned. We need to consume up her space power," said Long Qingying.
Lin Hao nodded and said, "That's a safer way. After consuming up her space power, she can start to absorb energies. Her aggressive second power will certainly grab the energy first. In that way, I think it will upgrade successfully."
How should the space energy be consumed up? That was a problem. No space possessors had ever consumed up their energy.
Space power couldn't be used for fighting. Putting things into the space wouldn't consume any energy at all.
As the three were trying to figure out a way to consume Lin Wenwen's space power, a nurse came over to tell Lin Hao that a patient's condition was getting worse, and asked him to go and take a look at that patient.
"Alright! So, think about how to consume your space power," he said to Lin Wenwen. As a space possessor, Lin Wenwen was the one who could be sure about how to consume her power.
Lin Hao told her to go back and think of a solution, then left with the nurse in a hurry to see the patient.
On the other side, Lin Qiao's motorcade stopped moving not long after leaving the base.
Lin Qiao stood on a tall building as she pointed at a few directions for Lin Kui, Mo, and some of the others, ordering them to launch attacks. Sky Fire Base people had been approaching from those directions.
Earlier, Xie Dong had reported to her that Li Zhengye had sent out some people to capture superpower possessors from the other bases while capturing superpower possessors from his own base as well. The ones that he sent toward All Beings Base had run into Lin Qiao.
"Over there! There're only a few of them, not strong. The strongest one is only at level-five. Mo, you go and kill every one of them!"
"Yes." The tall and slim, gook-looking, expressionless zombie lady—Mo—instantly responded.
"Ye Qingxian, Six, you two go there! You'll be dealing with those two groups. Don't let any of them get away," Lin Qiao pointed at another direction and said.
"Yes, ma'am!" Ye Qingxian, who looked like a twenty-year-old young man, and Six, who was a reliable-looking male zombie, stepped out together.
"Nan Jin, nine o'clock. Xia Ri, eleven o'clock!"
"Yes, ma'am! None of them will run!" Nan Jin and Xia Ri responded in one voice. Then, the two of them disappeared from the roof as same as the others.
The zombie kings and queens were each sent to deal with one group of Sky Fire Base people. After that, Lin Qiao sent the zombie leaders after the other two groups of enemies.
"Each group has about two-hundred men, led by level-five men. I can't even tell if Li Zhengye has overestimated our base or underestimated us." After giving out her orders, Lin Qiao folded her arms and looked at the way to Sky Fire Base as she said to the others.
"Each group he sent is at the size of two companies, but among them, less than twenty have superpowers. Base on the number, he's overestimating us, but based on strength, he has clearly underestimated us," said Duan Juan.
Standing next to her, Lin Kui stayed silent but nodding in agreement.
Lin Qiao snorted with laughter and said, "Li Zhengye never learns his lesson. How many times has this happened? His men never returned to his base, but he's always sending more to us. I really admire his spirit!"
Every batch of men that Li Zhengye sent to All Being Base had been dealt with by Lin Qiao. However, he still had the courage to send more soldiers to All Being Base. Maybe his brain was damaged, or maybe he was just persistent.
Soon, Lin Qiao sensed waves of blood scent from the directions that she pointed at earlier and heard a series of gun shots and explosions. Before long, all the noises quieted down. About half an hour later, five zombie kings and queens and six zombie leaders returned with the scents of blood and gun powder.
"Mission accomplished."
"Mission accomplished."
"Mission accomplished."
"Mission accomplished."
"Keep moving toward Sky Fire Base!" With a bland face, Lin Qiao turned and waved a hand, then leaped off the building.
