"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 .
