Lin Qiao managed to restore some important memories of the past five years, and was still working on the rest.
She remembered how the apocalypse came, how the base was built, how it developed. At last, she remembered how Yang Jianhua betrayed her and destroyed the base.
She regretted killing Yang Jianhua so quickly.
When Long Yubai launched the attack, her power had already been suppressed by the drug that Yang Jianhua gave her. The drug was developed especially for her.
Yang Jianhua didn't give her all the drug at one time; instead, he started doing it three months before Long Yubai made the move.
What Lin Qiao said to Yang Jianhua earlier was not wrong. Yang Jianhua put the drug in her wine. That was why her mind wasn't clear, and how she fell under the drug's control and ended up lying underneath Yang Jianhua.
She hadn't been on alert against him. She knew that Yang Jianhua made some small moves sometimes, but she turned a blind eye and didn't dig deep. Back then, she naively believed that he wouldn't be so cruel, and that no matter what he intended, he would always give Lin Family a chance to survive.

But as a result, he didn't!
If Lin Qiao didn't blow herself up to draw all the attention of Long Yubai and the other level-seven enemies, her family might not have been able to run out of the base.
Also…
Lin Qiao opened her eyes. She lowered her head and rubbed her stomach. That time, she got pregnant.
That day, she woke up to find herself lying beside Yang Jianhua. Her mind wasn't clear, so she thought that she was simply drunk and that what happened between her and him was just a drunken mistake. She felt awkward, but still immediately made it clear with Yang Jianhua that it was just an accident, and neither of them needed to be responsible for the other.
Yang Jianhua accepted it without saying anything.
Before Lin Qiao had any time to think about the details of that drunken mistake, her attention was diverted by the news from the Earth Dragon Base. Half a month before her base was broken, she finally had some time to think about that mistake.
At that time, she also unexpectedly found that there was a new life inside her uterus. She couldn't abort that child, even if it was Yang Jianhua's child. In the post-apocalyptic era, children were the most precious gifts.
She did want a child, because she was over thirty years old and was a normal woman. Like many other women, she also wanted her own children. She didn't have the time to fall in love; it was added with the fact that Long Yubai had been casting his greedy eyes on Hades Base the whole time and that Earth Dragon Base had been making all sorts of moves. For these reasons, she temporarily gave up on the idea of having her own children; she didn't even decide whom to borrow sperm from.
The mistake that happened between her and Yang Jianhua brought her a child. She was surprised, and happy. She was going to tell Yang Jianhua about it, but the latter's strange behavior made her give up.
Half a month ago, she started suspect Yang Jianhua, and gradually began keeping vigilance against him. That was why she secretly sent Li Zheng and his people to Sea City.
However, the information she got turned out to be false. Long Yubai wasn't going to take action in a couple of months. Instead, he was going to take action very soon. Because of the false information, Lin Qiao didn't have the time to prepare before the enemies launched the attack.
When she died, no one but herself knew that she was going to be a mother.
'Viney, are you okay?' she said in her head.
Viney had said that she could come to this place where she died without worries, because the energy in that area wouldn't affect her. But still, she was a little worried.
She had restored some of her memories. If she were right, Viney should be her child. After realizing that fact, she had different feelings for the latter.
It turned out that Viney called her Mama for a reason. She just didn't know how Viney woke up along with her in Lu Tianyu's body. After all, she was just a fetus.
Also, she never understood Viney's way of growing.
'Mama? Viney is fine… Mama, your thoughts are disordered now… Mama, have you restored your memories?' Viney's voice was heard at that moment.
Lin Qiao put a hand on her flat belly and said in her head, 'Fortunately, you came back to life as well… This is wonderful…'
'Mama… Are you crying?'
Viney couldn't see Lin Qiao's face, but could feel her complicated feelings from her emotional swings.
She felt guilty, surprised, and happy. She felt guilty for her child, because between her child and her other family members, she had helplessly chosen her other family members.
So, as she remembered what happened, the guiltiness that she had for Viney spread in her heart, and her dark-green eyes shed red tears.
Gently, she said, "I'm sorry. Mama made you die once…"
She didn't know what she could possibly say to Viney now. She only knew that her child had suffered death together with her once. But thankfully, her baby also came back to life with her!
'Sorry… Sorry… Viney…' Lin Qiao couldn't help apologizing in her head.
'Mama, please don't cry… Viney is good… Please don't cry…'
Feeing Lin Qiao's sadness, Viney panicked. She couldn't come out of Lin Qiao's uterus to comfort her, so with no other choice, she talked to her anxiously.
Lin Qiao raised a hand to touch her face. Her face was moist indeed. She dropped that hand with surprise, wondering if zombies could shed tears.
However, as she glanced at her hand, she found it to be red.
She didn't have tears, but she had blood.
She smiled faintly and said, "Mama is fine, but Viney, I'm going to start collecting the energy. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me and I'll stop."
'Mama, it'll be fine. The energy belongs to you, so it won't affect Viney in any bad ways… It can even help Viney grow!' Viney replied happily.
Lin Qiao's energy wouldn't affect Viney indeed. In fact, that energy was able to strengthen the combination of Viney's soul and the zygote.
Lin Qiao sighed with relief, said, "Really? Good then! I'm going to start."
After Viney responded, she closed her eyes and raised both hands with palms up.
The dark fire around her had been drilling into her forehead in wisps. But now, as she changed her posture, the fire suddenly rose and divided into three parts before gushing into her palms and forehead in huge streams.
This time, the amount of energy which had entered Lin Qiao's body was larger than the amount which drifted into her just now by a hundred times over.
And then, the dark fire and mist in the area miles in radius around her started to shrink at a crazily high rate.
