“Eh? Will you?” Lin Qiao asked with surprise.

‘Mama, Mama, I might have a very, very long sleep before you give birth to me… But, I haven’t entered the formative state yet…’ Viney said frustratedly.

Sensing her feelings, Lin Qiao asked, ‘How long exactly? And, what does the formative state mean?’

She had a strange feeling about that. ‘Viney is not talking about the process of a zygote developing into a fetus, is she?’

‘It’s how I’ll become a little baby…’ Viney gave the answer.

“What’s wrong? Is there any unsolved problem?” Mrs. Lin asked Lin Qiao as the latter suddenly turned a little absent-minded. Hearing her words, all the others in the room turned to the latter.

Except for Mrs. Lin and Liu Jun, the others, including Lin Xiaolu, Tongtong, Lin Wenwen, Long Qingying, and Cheng Wangxue, were all having sweet potatoes. The room was suffused with the sweet aroma of sweet potatoes.

“Ah… oh, yeah, there’s one thing that I need to deal with. It’ll be done in a couple of days,” Lin Qiao didn’t tell them about Viney, neither did she let them know that the zombie emperor hadn’t left. She just gave them a vague response.

Meanwhile, she asked Viney in her heart, ‘So… when can you enter the formative state?’

Viney thought for a moment, then responded, ‘Em… I’m not sure about that either. But, I think it’ll be about the time when I have absorbed some more energy. I don’t know how long will I sleep this time… It’ll surely be longer than the last time…’

‘Longer than the last time? Viney slept for over forty days this time. Will it be two or three months the next time? And, it’ll only be the formative period…’ Lin Qiao thought.

‘Normally, the formative period of healthy human babies is two months. I have been pregnant for a couple of months, yet the baby hasn’t entered the formative state yet! Alright, I’m a zombie. I can’t make judges based on the common sense of human beings… I can’t…’

Viney also said that she would sleep for a very long time before she was given birth.

Thinking about that, Lin Qiao somehow wondered if she would give birth to a baby like Nezha, a mythological figure in Chinese culture. Nezha’s mother was pregnant with him for three years.

At that time, Viney suddenly asked, ‘Are Ling Ling and her father in our base? I kinda miss them.’

Lin Qiao replied, ‘They are, of course, not in our base. They are in their own base.’

Viney said with disappointment, ‘Oh, alright. When can I see them?’

‘When you come out. When you are able to run and jump, you’ll be able to see anyone you want. ‘ Lin Qiao said to her.

Viney became a little unhappy. ‘But, it’s going to be a very long time until then…’

Lin Qiao said helplessly, ‘Then just absorb some energy and go to sleep again. I saved a level-eight energy nucleus for you. How much energy can you absorb?’

Viney’s interest was immediately aroused by the level-eight energy nucleus. ‘Eh? Level-eight? Impressive! I don’t know… I can’t absorb much energy yet…’

‘I’ll bring you back to absorb the nucleus now, ‘ Lin Qiao said.

She stood up and said to the others in the room, “I’m going back to my room.”

“Alright, go,” Mrs. Lin didn’t ask her to stay and just nodded. Her eyes lingered briefly on Lin Qiao’s stomach, but she didn’t say anything about it.

She and the others had asked Lin Qiao about the baby earlier. She was pregnant for months, yet her stomach was still flat. All the others were curious about the baby. They told her to find Lin Hao and get a check-up when she had time.

Recently, Lin Hao was working together with Leng Xuantong in the lab. On the one hand, they need to figure out what components the drug from Huaxia Base contained, and on the other hand, they needed to culture the virus from Lin Qiao’s blood for massive usage. Apart from those, they had still been doing tests with the blood of Lin Qiao and Lin Kui, trying to find out if their blood could deliver any other effects. With all these works, Lin Hao was so busy lately that he had forgotten about Viney long ago.

Lin Qiao entered her space and asked Viney, ‘The dangerous time will be over after the formative period, right?’

‘Dangerous time? What dangerous time?’ Viney asked with confusion.

‘Like, if I made a big movement, you might get hurt. Didn’t you tell me not to fight people too intensely? ‘ Lin Qiao said.

‘Eh? Do you mean the future? It might be more dangerous than now,’ Viney said , After all, I need to sleep. I’ll absorb the energy in sleep, so I won’t be able to protect myself while I’m sleeping.’

Lin Qiao was a little stunned.

‘What? So, later pregnancy will be more dangerous than now? It’s the opposite of the pregnancy of humans, isn’t it?’

‘In that case, I need to finish Hidden Cloud City Base right now! I don’t know when this little thing will come out! It certainly won’t happen in ten months like the pregnancy of humans!’ she thought.

Lin Qiao walked to the lakeside and released a stream of black mist to wrap herself up. After that, she took off her clothes and folded them, putting them on the ground. Then, she walked into the lake and dived to the bottom.

In the lake, she gathered the energy around her body and then put the energy nucleus on her stomach. Sensing the energy from the lake and the energy from the nucleus flowing into her flat belly, she crossed her legs and sat at the bottom of the lake.

In the next two days, Mo Yan didn’t sense Lin Qiao’s vibe, but stayed vigilant the whole time. However, to his surprise, while he had his eyes on All Beings Base, the second batch of scouts from the other bases arrived.

This time, Hidden Cloud City had sent a large troop. A three-hundred-man troop leading by fifteen level-five superpowered people and two Deputy Chiefs showed up by the border between West Lake District and Upper City District.

“These Hades Base survivors have really built a new base in this zombie city. I am so curious about that base.” On top of a building, Qi Hanhui stood beside Weiming, looking at All Beings Base.

Weiming had a sullen face, and didn’t respond to him.

It had been about a month, yet they still hadn’t found a trace of Lu Zhuofeng. They refused to believe that a level-eight man would die so easily.

Where had he been?

While searching around for Lu Zhuofeng, Weiming and Qi Hanhui scouted for the condition of the new base in Hangzhou. Unexpectedly, the squad that they sent out two days ago had disappeared. They figured that the squad might have encountered a problem.

“Tonight, I’ll lead a squad to see what’s going on in there,” Weiming looked at All Beings Base and said.

“Okay. Among those Hades Base people, Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng are the only two at level-six. There won’t be any big problems, but do be careful,” Qi Hanhui nodded.

Once it turned dark, Weiming and a ten-man squad sneaked toward Upper City District.

By the time Lin Qiao sensed that some people were approaching her base, Mo Yan had gotten close to those people and stopped them from moving forward.

Following a series of rumbling thunder, lightning bolts suddenly flashed across the clouds, illuminating the entire sky. At that time, Weiming and his people were driving two off-road cars in the darkness.

Weiming stuck his head out from the window on the side of the front seat, wondering would thunderstorms happen in winter.

While he was still confused, a new wave of thunder was heard, and then a few purple bolts of lightning descended from the sky, falling toward the two cars.
