The zombie dog held the zombie roe deer's head in its mouth and threw its own head from side to side with a ferocious look, also letting out a deep growl from its throat.
"What are you doing?" Lin Qiao looked at the zombie dog with surprise. She hadn't observed the roe deer to see if there were other changes of it, yet the bloody dog bit it to death already.
The zombie roe deer was already dead, but the zombie dog still didn't relax its bite.
Lin Qiao looked at the dog and sighed, "Anyway, we have roughly learned about how my blood changed the roe deer. Leng Xuantong will be doing further research."
Lin Qiao had sent both Leng Xuantong's wife and son to him. She had given the two zombies an order to forbid them from attacking Leng Xuantong. Even though the two zombies didn't recognize Leng Xuantong, the zombie wife learned to do some simple works that Leng Xuantong gave her, such as cleaning the floor and the table, checking the timing device, and battery replacement.
The zombie boy followed the zombie wife everywhere like a little tail of hers.
Lin Qiao had fulfilled the promise that she made to Leng Xuantong.
Leng Xuantong was surprised delightfully when he learned that his zombie wife was able to be his assistant. Even though his family didn't remember him, being with them was enough for him.
Besides, after knowing all the zombies from Lin Qiao's space, Leng Xuantong believed that Lin Qiao would be able to restore the memories of his wife and son. For that very reason, he decided to stay in All Being Base.
As the roe deer experiment had failed, Lin Qiao decided not to give her virus to Black. So, to strengthen the snake, she had to use the lake water and energy nuclei.
She spent a short while thinking, then summoned an earth-powered zombie. That zombie was among the first batch of zombies that she had recruited—zombie number six. Currently, he was a zombie king.
After the upgrade, he didn't remember his name or nickname, or anything about himself. However, he had regained many skills and habits that he had before.
Lin Qiao called him Six. He looked about thirty years old. He had drunk quite some lake water that Lin Qiao gave him, and had taken a few baths. After the upgrade, his body was healed to a considerable extent. He didn't have a very handsome face, but could be counted as pretty. His eyes were sunken, dark and slender, wearing a composed look. His nose was straight, and his deep-purple thin lips were very eye-catching.
Because of his eyes and lips, his comely face became very attractive. It was like a normal man wearing weird makeup that created a special vibe and a visual impact.
That was Six. He didn't stand as straight as a soldier, yet his back wasn't hunched, and his chest was always puffed out. His vibe was not weak.
He had a vibe that only leaders or big bosses could have.
"Six, come here, " Lin Qiao glanced at the hill behind the cabin, then at the other side of the road. The area on the other side of the road was low-lying, so she chose that area.
Lin Qiao brought Six to that area, then pointed at one spot on the left and one on the right. The two places were about twenty meters away from each other. Then, she said to Six, "Make this area sink from there to here."
Six squatted and pressed a palm on the ground. Next, the ground quaked a little, and the area that Lin Qiao pointed sank into a large square pit.
Lin Qiao glanced around, then turned and asked a green-powered zombie to control the surrounding trees and pave the bottom of the pit with wood.
As the pool was ready, Lin Qiao walked over and filled it with the lake water from her space. After that, she turned and waved at Black, who was watching curiously.
"Come here, get down and have fun." She pointed at the pool while speaking.
Black's eyes glowed. It looked at the temporary pool that Lin Qiao and her zombies built and crawled over with excitement. By the side of the pool, it paused and looked at Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao nodded and said, "Emm, go ahead. This is your swimming pool."
The water in the pool was not even one-ten-thousandth of the water in the lake in Lin Qiao's space, so the energy from the pool didn't make Black feel repulsion. Instead, it was just the perfect amount for it.
Black excitedly dived into the pool and made a few flips in the water, then swam from side to side. Clearly, it was thrilled.
Lin Qiao threw a level-six energy nucleus into the pool. The nucleus was from a mutated boa, which was much fiercer than Black. That boa had a special superpower, that allowed it to eat anything.
Black sensed the energy nucleus as Lin Qiao threw it into the water. The snake swam to the nucleus and picked it up with its mouth before swallowing it. After that, the snake coiled its body on the bottom of the pool.
Lin Qiao squatted by the poolside and reached a hand into the pool to control the energy in the water. She sent the energy from the water into Black's body, to filter the energy from the nucleus.
Mutated beasts weren't able to absorb energies as quickly as zombies did. Based on the current rate, it would take about half a month for Black to absorb the energy from the nucleus, which would gather in its brain.
Therefore, Lin Qiao needed to squat at the poolside for half a month!
She needed to go back to the base today to celebrate the New Year together with her family. Thinking about that, she felt troubled.
If there were no better choices, she would have to leave temporarily and let Black absorb the energy by itself.
...
At noontime on New Year's Day, all base members went to the canteen for lunch. They were all surprised to see meat on their plates.
"Wow, what is this meat? It smells so good! I haven't had any meat for a long time!"
"Meat! We have meat!"
"What kind of meat is this? It's safe, isn't it? Emm, it smells so good! I don't care what it is! I don't care if it'll turn me into a zombie or not! I will eat it before I turn into a zombie!"
At first, people were a little worried, because they didn't know where the meat came from. Some of them were worried that it might be unsafe. However, they couldn't resist the thick and tempting aroma from the meat. They hadn't had any meat for at least half a year.
They never suffered starvation during the time they spent in All Beings Base. Their meals contained vegetables, but no neat. Under the difficult post-apocalyptic circumstances, they wouldn't ask for too much. So now, knowing that they really had meat to eat, they were surprised and so happy.
They didn't really care what kind of meat that was. As the meat was served to them, some of those seemed like hungry wolves as they couldn't stop but drool at the aroma.
"You guys should thank our Chief. She found a way to remove the virus from mutated animals. From now on, we will always have meat to eat!" Chen Yuting stood before the canteen and said to the people.
