“Recover as quickly as you can. Your lightning power will be very helpful. Sadly, you can’t make a move now…” Lin Qiao looked at him and sighed helplessly.
If his lightning power was restored, Wu Chengyue’s help would no longer be needed. At the very least, Mo Yan would be guarding the base as a lighting power possessor. Yun Meng and the other zombies had no way of defeating those underground creatures. Every time a battle started, they suffered heavy injuries like the last time.
Mo Yan had no idea what was happening outside. Hearing what Lin Qiao said, he looked at her with surprise, feeling that the situation was probably a little serious. If everything was fine, the zombie lady wouldn’t say that to him.
Lin Qiao still had a towel hanging on her neck. She held the towel and waved at Mo Yan, then flashed out of the base.
Standing behind the desk, she raised a hand and faced her palm toward the desk. Following her movement, a small pile of glistening energy nuclei appeared on the desk, at levels four to six.
Lin Qiao gave a quick glance at the nuclei; there were no more than fifty nuclei left. She wondered if her nucleus would be refilled tonight after she absorbed all the nuclei she had.
She sorted those zombie nuclei out and found only three level-six nuclei, along with quite some level four and five ones. Then, she put all the nuclei back into her s.p.a.ce and tilted her head to dry her hair with the towel. As her hair was half-dried, she sat on the bed and crossed her legs before starting to absorb zombie nuclei.

The next morning, Wu Chengyue got up before dawn. Soon, some other people came over to help him.
Xiao Licheng came straight into the kitchen. As he thought, his Chief was already working in the kitchen. Wu Chengyue had prepared all the food that needed to be stewed for a long time, and was about to put them into pots. At the same time, he was also preparing breakfast.
Next to the vegetables was a pile of flour prepared for the dough.
“You’re here. Haven’t you heard anything from Yue Shan and the others yet?” Wu Chengyue was squatting next to the cabinet, looking for something. He turned and glanced at Xiao Licheng when he heard the footsteps, then lowered his head to continue doing what he was doing.
“They’re on their way. Don’t worry, they’ll make it to the party,” Xiao Licheng came into the kitchen and asked, “What am I gonna do?”
“Prepare the dough,” said Wu Chengyue.
“Okay.” The dough was probably for steamed buns or dumplings, or something else like that, so Xiao Licheng started looking for the tools he needed. A while later, Lin Qiao brought the kids and the fat rabbit downstairs.
“Oi, can we eat that rabbit? We should cook it! Stewed rabbit!” Seeing the fat gray rabbit hopping downstairs, Xiao Licheng made a joke. On hearing that, Wu Yueling immediately ran over and held the rabbit in her arms as she looked at Xiao Licheng vigilantly.
“Hi, Ling Ling! Did you sleep well last night?” Xiao Licheng smiled and greeted her. He made that joke to make the little girl come to him. But, Wu Yueling gave him a glare, then turned and ran away.
“Where are you going? The breakfast is ready,” Wu Chengyue brought a large bowl of noodle out of the kitchen and said loudly as he saw the little girl run away once he came out.
“Uncle Wu, Uncle Xiao, good morning!”
“Uncle Wu, Uncle Xiao, good morning!”
Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong nicely greeted Wu Chengyue and Xiao Licheng.
“Morning! Sit down and have some breakfast,” Wu Chengyue smilingly nodded at the two kids.
Teng was carried in Lin Xiaolu’s arms. He leaned his head forward to look at the food on the table and then sighed, “Ah… Why don’t I have teeth! I want some of that…”
“Hehe, you need to be patient. I heard that babies will typically start to grow teeth when they’re six months old. You need to wait for a couple of more months.” As Teng stared at the rich breakfast on the table with a grievance, Lin Xiaolu grinned and said.
“Just eat your porridge! Your father makes different kinds of porridge every day! Isn’t it delicious?” Lin Qiao gave her son a cold glimpse.
“But I want something else… I’m looking at those delicious foods every day but can’t eat them. They smell so nice. I watch you guys enjoy the food that I cannot eat! You don’t understand how painful it is! You don’t know about how I feel at all! How can you be a mother like this!” Teng complained to his mother angrily.
Lin Qiao looked at him and responded, “You are a naughty kid who sneaks all over the house at night when you were supposed to be sleeping. Will any other one-month-old baby run about like you do?”
The kid hid behind the stairs eavesdropping her conversation with Wu Chengyue last night. She hadn’t given him a lesson for that yet. How dare he question her!
Hearing that, Teng immediately turned his eyes to the ceiling silently. He thought for a moment, then turned back to Lin Qiao and said, “Am I a normal kid? I am not! I am a lot smarter than normal kids! You can’t compare me with them!”Read more chapter on our vipnovel.com
“Why are you so thick-skinned?” said Lin Qiao. While speaking, she took Teng over from Lin Xiaolu’s arms as she sat down and pinched the boy’s chubby cheeks.
“Ahhh! It hurts! Are you even my mother! Why are you treating me so violently!” Teng burst in screams.
Xiao Licheng was putting noodles into Tongtong’s bowl. “The house is warm in the morning with kids. We single people are always cold and sad in the morning!”
Wu Chengyue was fetching noodles for Wu Yueling. Hearing Xiao Licheng’s words, he gave him a glance and said, “Get yourself a girlfriend then. Being jealous of me won’t help you.”
Xiao Licheng shrugged and said, “I haven’t met anyone that I really like yet. I’m just going to keep living like this.”
“You’re still waiting for the one you really like? Do you know how rare young girls are now? She’ll be someone else’s wife by the time you meet her,” Lin Qiao couldn’t help but join the conversation.
Xiao Licheng stayed silent with a bitter face. He didn’t need her to tell him that cruel truth.
Teng reached his head out of Lin Qiao’s arms as he looked at Xiao Licheng and said, “Uncle Xiao, what do you think about my Aunty Duan? Do you need my help?”
“Stop fooling around!” Lin Qiao slapped on his bald head.
“Ouch! Can you please be gentle? Are you my stepmother?” Teng had his cheeks pinched and head slapped by her, so he glared at his mother with a pair of tearful eyes.
Clap! Lin Qiao slapped him on the head again, then pinched his ear and said, “How dare you call me stepmother! Who suffered so much pain to give birth to you? You little b*stard!”
“Ahhh! Daddy! Help! Mama is abusing me!” As Lin Qiao pinched his ear, Teng surrendered immediately and cried at Wu Chengyue for help while struggling.
Xiao Licheng looked at him with a helpless smile and said, “You’re not talking about Duan Juan, are you? Emm… There’s nothing like that going on between her and me.”
He did not notice the hesitation in his eyes.
Wu Chengyue glanced at him and then at Teng. With laughter, he said, “Oh, solve your own problem. Remember this, don’t always ask others for help.”
Teng immediately fell into silence. He angrily opened his mouth wide and ate the spoonful of milk porridge that Lin Qiao put before his mouth.
