Lin Qiao neatly and quickly killed Gu Yikang, who brought himself to her, then returned to her room in the hotel.
Next morning, someone came to her before she left the room.
"Sister! I need help!" Lin Wenwen opened the door and saw Lin Wenwen looking at her delightfully. Long Qingying was following behind her.
Currently, people weren't allowed to go to the hotel where Lin Qiao and the other zombies lived, except for Yuan Tianxing, Chen Yuting, Lin Family people, and the others who were in special positions.
The soldiers who were guarding the hotel weren't humans; those were level-four zombies. Lin Qiao had asked Yuan Tianxing to give them uniforms and special sunglasses.
Those zombie soldiers weren't armed with guns. Under the command of Yun Meng and Qiu Lili, they had been guarding the base quietly. They all memorized the scents of Lin Wenwen, Yuan Tianxing and the other humans who were allowed to come to the hotel. Except for those people, they wouldn't let anyone else in the hotel. If someone else tried to enter the hotel, those zombie soldiers would stop them expressionlessly without attacking them.
Lin Qiao trained those zombie soldiers herself before she left the base for Huaxia Base. Only after they passed the training did she let them out to work. She had also asked Qiu Lili and the other high-leveled zombies to keep an eye on them, to see if any of them violated any rules.
The base was having more and more residents. Lin Qiao decided to bring her zombies to the other side of the base after the wall of the human base was completed, and then wait for the other part of the fence wall to be built up.
"Why so rushed? It's still early in the morning. Why can't you wait until I get to your side?" Lin Qiao looked at Lin Wenwen and asked her.
"Eh... I don't want other people to know about this... not yet..." Lin Wenwen glanced at Long Qingying, then said to Lin Qiao.
She only wanted to talk to Lin Qiao about how she saw a metal vine go through Lin Feng's chest and then jumped back to a couple of hours earlier. She hadn't even told Long Qingying about that yet.
Long Qingying felt fine, as she nodded and said, "I'll wait for you outside."
Lin Wenwen glanced at Lin Wenwen, then said to Duan Juan, "Go and tell the others that the meeting will be postponed for an hour."
"Yes, ma'am!" Duan Juan nodded expressionlessly, then turned and left.
Lin Qiao let Lin Wenwen into her room, then closed the door and asked her, "What is it? It sounds so mysterious."
Lin Wenwen sat down on the couch and watched Lin Qiao pour her a glass of water. She thought for a moment, then slowly started talking, "I... Something happened to me earlier. I don't know if it's because of me, or some other reason."
Lin Qiao put the glass of water on the tea table and then sat down, waiting for the rest of Lin Wenwen's story.
"We were out there, collecting supplies. On our way back, we ran into a powerful level-seven mutated plant. It had metal power. We didn't know it was there, so we took that road..."
Lin Wenwen told Lin Qiao that they fought a brutal and miserable battle against that vine plant, and that she was so shocked when she saw the metal vine pierce into Lin Feng's chest. And then, she told Lin Qiao how she jumped back to a few hours ago and found that they hadn't encountered the metal vine, and everybody was still alive.
"At first, I thought I had triggered a new type of superpower related time, and then I found that it was not like that. Over time, the memory of the metal vine faded in my mind. It was less real than before. Now, I feel as if it was a dream, not something that really happened. Later on, when we returned to the base, I realized that I'm sometimes able to see some images about some other people..." said Lin Wenwen confusedly and uncertainly.
Lin Qiao thought briefly, then asked her, "Have you been back to that place where you bumped into the metal vine? What are those images that you mentioned? Are they from the past or..."
Lin Wenwen shook her head and said, "No. I didn't go back there. About the images I saw, my people have checked, they aren't from the past. Also, I noticed someone lately. The image I saw from him seems to be something that he plans to do."
"Did he do it?" Lin Qiao blinked.
Lin Wenwen showed a strange expression. She slightly dropped her head and then said awkwardly, "What I saw hasn't happened yet. But, I noticed that that man has been secretly trying to do something bad to someone else. I couldn't help but stop him."
The look in her eyes and her awkward reaction gave Lin Qiao an idea. She couldn't help but grin wickedly while saying, "That man is not trying to hurt Yuan Tianxing, is he?"
Lin Wenwen instantly raised her head as she looked at Lin Qiao with surprise."How do you know?"
"I think I guessed right. He's the only one you care so much about. I never see you care about the rest of us like that. Tell me, what have you seen, and whom have you seem it from?" Lin Qiao wouldn't be able to lead a base if she couldn't even tell what her little sister was thinking.
"It's... it's a level-three space possessor. He seems to have his eyes on Tianxing. Recently, he has been trying to create opportunities to see Tianxing." Lin Wenwen blushed as Lin Qiao had seen right through her. She didn't dare to raise her head, but kept her eyelids dropped and murmured to answer Lin Qiao's question.
"It's normal for people to want to approach Tianxing. Tell me what have you seen from him, and how did you see it, " said Lin Qiao curiously.
"The first time I looked at him in the eyes, some images popped up in my mind. In those images, he... he seemed to have drugged Tianxing. Then... he then tried to make it look like Tianxing had... had raped him. He's up to something not good anyway. If he really likes Tianxing and pursues him openly, I wouldn't mind. But, what he's been trying to do is just disgusting. Besides, I don't think he really likes Tianxing. He only likes him because he's a Deputy Chief." Lin Wenwen was a little embarrassed at first, but while speaking, she wore a cold face and showed a fierce look in her eyes.
Lin Qiao nodded knowingly."I see... I think what you have is a little like some kind of predictive power. Perhaps, your space power is changing. It can also be your second superpower. Since what you saw isn't something that has already happened, I think you shouldn't do anything to interfere with it. You should wait and see if the final result is truly the same as what you foresaw."
"Oh, okay, " Lin Wenwen nodded. She thought for a second, then continued with, "About how I jumped back in time... How should I prove it? Should I go back to find that metal vine?"
She couldn't figure out how exactly what happened and why it happened.
Lin Qiao thought briefly, then said, "Perhaps you had a dream and dreamed about what would happen in the near future. It was probably a predictive dream, like those images you saw in your mind."
That sounded like a ghost story. But, combining dreaming with Lin Wenwen's new skill, Lin Qiao felt that it was very likely to be true.
"I'll go there and try to find that metal vine when I have time. If I find it, my guess might be right. If it's really there, I'll just harvest its plant nucleus for Viney, " Lin Qiao put a hand on her belly while thinking.
