However, not long after she exited the base, Viney's voice was suddenly heard from her space.
'Mama, get in here! Mama, get in!'
Lin Qiao had no choice but to flash back in immediately.
"What's wrong? Viney?" She stood by the lakeside and asked toward the lake.
A vine reached out of the lake and coiled around her hand. Then, she heard Viney say, ?'Mama, the energy inside the little one's body has been suppressed for too long... I can't control it fully now... Mama, come down and help. '
"How can I help down there?" Lin Qiao asked with surprise. She didn't know how to help others trigger their powers.
"Didn't you help Xiaolu trigger her power successfully the last time? Why can't you do it this time?" Lin Qiao continued asking.
Viney thought for a moment, then responded, ?'Em, Sister Xiaolu's condition only lasted for a short while, so I was able to control her energy. But this time, the little one has been in this condition for days... Her power had been suppressed the whole time, but there were negative effects of that as well... She has too much energy in her body right now... I'm worrying that her tiny body might not be able to take it...'
Hearing Viney's explanation, Lin Qiao got a little anxious as well, "What should we do then? Do you know how to help her when I get down there?"
'Mama, come down... I'll transfer a part of the little one's power into your body, so that she'll be safer...'
Lin Qiao nodded and said, "Alright then!"
"Wait a moment!" She thought for a moment and then suddenly added."Lili, come over here, " she turned and waved at Qiu Lili.
Qiu Lili and Liu Jun were sitting on the couch and watching her. As Lin Qiao waved her, Qiu Lili immediately stood up and flashed to her side.
"What?"
Lin Qiao looked at her and said, "I'm going down in the lake to help Viney, so I can't go find Yuan Tianxing now. You're the fastest among us, as you have the wind power. Can you go out to find Yuan Tianxing and the others for me?"
Qiu Lili knew Yuan Tianxing and his people, and they knew her as well. Therefore, Lin Qiao felt that it would be appropriate for the former to go instead of her, as she couldn't make it herself.
As a level-seven wind-powered zombie, Qiu Lili was many times faster than even a racing car now. She could directly fly to Yuan Tianxng from a treetop.
Qiu Lili thought shortly, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go!"
"Roar!" 'I'll go too!'
At that moment, Mengmeng, who had been hiding in the third small space, suddenly leaped out and gave a roar. Meanwhile, she had been carefully staring at Viney in the lake.
Lin Qiao nodded and said, "There's no time to waste. I'll send you out now."
While speaking, she immediately reached out her hands, grabbed the two young female zombies, and flashed out of her space with them. After dropping them outside, she came back right in.
Once out, Qiu Lili hopped onto the tallest treetop while Mengmeng looked at her on the ground. Then, Qiu Lili started moving fleetingly and Mengmeng followed her.
Lin Qiao entered her space and prepared to take off her clothes. But before that, she thought of something and glanced back. The few zombies had stuck their heads out of a small space to look at her.
"Get in, " Lin Qiao shouted at them, "If you dare to watch me take off clothes, I'll tell Viney to drag you all into the lake."
Once she said that, those zombies disappeared from her sight without a trace.
After that, Lin Qiao stripped herself and walked into the water. When she took off her clothes, Liu Jun covered Tong Tong's eyes and carried him to a farther place.
Lin Qiao got into the water and sensed the waving energy in the lake. When she reached to the deeper area, Viney wrapped her waist with a vine which was as thick as a baby arm to bring her down.
Down in the water, Lin Qiao saw that Wu Yueling was entirely wrapped in Viney's vines, encased in a tiny cocoon. The cocoon was glowing brightly; the white light shone out of the cocoon and made it look like a flaring egg.
It looked adorable, but contained an agitated energy which made Lin Qiao feel danger. For Lin Qiao, the feeling wasn't strong, but for Wu Yueling, it should be extremely intense.
At that point, Viney reached five or six vines to Lin Qiao and wrapped her up into a larger cocoon. Then, she brought the large and the small cocoons together.
After that, Lin Qiao started to sense a stream of energy slowly entering her body.
...
On the other side, Wu Chengyue had sent Xiao Licheng to investigate Yang Chao's recent moves, to see if he had sent people after Ling Ling. Meanwhile, he sent someone else to check the entry and exit records for the recent couple of days, and list the names of all suspicious people for him.
"Where're you going?" As Wu Chengyue said that he was going to find someone, Meng Yue followed behind her and asked with confusion.
"Special Region C, " Wu Chengyue responded.
"Special C? Are you going to find someone on Chief Zou's side?" Meng Yue asked curiously.
The inner area of Sea City Base was divided into three regions—Special Region A, B, C. These were the areas where the high-ranked people lived and worked. Meanwhile, the outer area was divided into seven regions—Region A to F. Each one of these regions included living quarters, working areas, and administrative regions.
Special Region A was under Wu Chengyue's administration, and was also where he lived. Special Region B was administrated by Yang Chao, and Special Region C was Zou Shihui's territory.
Therefore, once Wu Chengyue mentioned that he was heading to Special Region C, the others understood that he was going to find someone under Zou Shihui's command. The people who lived in Special Region C were mostly Zou Shihui's subordinates, and some general staff who worked for him.
In the hall of an office building in Special Region C, Wu Chengyue sent Meng Yue to ask someone if Lu Tianyi was in the office. A couple of minutes later, she came back and said, "Lu Tianyi isn't in the office. He had gone to the greenhouse. We need to find him there."
Hearing that, Wu Chengyue turned and moved to leave while saying, "Let's go to the greenhouse."
The greenhouse was the source of ninety percent of the food in the whole base. It contained planning areas and livestock areas.
A large part of Special Region C was actually farmlands. However, due to the problems of natural earth and water, it required superpowered people to make the plants grow healthily. Anyway, they were greatly understaffed, and hence, the harvest wasn't satisfactory.
A rich harvest could be expected when green-powered people hastened the growth of plants. However, green-powered people were too rare.
When Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming were hastening the growth and watering the plants in the greenhouse, a man ran in and shouted at them, "Boos, Chief Wu is here to see you."
The two of them turned around and recognized the man as one of their subordinates from a workshop.
"Why's Chief Wu here to see you?" Kong Qingming turned to look at Lu Tianyi and asked with surprise. The latter shook his head confusedly and responded, "How am I supposed to know? Let's go out and find out."
While speaking, he washed his hands in a sphere of water which was floating in the air and wrapping his hands. Kong Qingming got close to him and reached out his hands which had some earth and leaves on them as he said, "Give me some too."
Lu Tianyi raised one hand with his palm down, and put a clean sphere of water upon the other's hands. Kong Qingming washed his hands clean in the floating water, then walked out of the greenhouse with Lu Tianyi.
