“You were new at level-six, and now you’ve broken into level-seven with the help of an external force. It’s normal for your energy to be unstable. When you get out, try to channel the energy inside you with your power. It’ll stabilize gradually,” Lin Qiao said to him.
“I get it,” Lin Feng surely knew what he should do next.
“Alright, let’s get out then! We’ve been here for four or five days. The others are getting anxious,” Lin Qiao dragged Lin Feng’s clothes and disappeared in front of Lu Tianyi and that smart zombie.
After watching them disappear, Lu Tianyi stayed where he was with a frown.
The leader of Hidden Cloud City Base had actually upgraded to level-eight, meaning that the balance between the bases in South China and East China was already broken. He couldn’t tell for sure if Hidden Cloud City Base would invade Earth Dragon Base and Sky Fire Base which were the nearest to it, but the new base in Upper City District would very likely become a target.
There was also a chance that Hidden Cloud City Base might give up on Upper City Base, because the latter was too weak for now. Instead, it might cooperate with Earth Dragon Base and Sky Fire Base, then target Sea City Base.
Based on the information that Kong Qingming collected earlier, each of the bases in South China had been expecting a level-eight superpowered one. In fact, a level-eight leader was going to emerge in Sea City Base too. He heard that Wu Chengyue was preparing for the breakthrough long ago.
‘Why hasn’t Chief Wu made any move yet? ‘ Lu Tianyi felt weird about it, wondering if anyone else had made the breakthrough before him.
…
When Lin Qiao and Lin Feng showed up in the room, the people in the room were stunned at first. Then, they all quickly gathered around them.
“What happened to you two? Why did it take so long? Were you trying to scare us to death!” Seeing the two show up in the room perfectly unharmed, Mrs. Lin was finally relieved. Then, she started complaining with both anxiety and anger.
“Mom, it’s alright, we’re fine! It took longer than we expected, but we’re fine. Nothing bad would possibly happen to us. I’ve forcibly upgraded Lin Feng to level-seven. His energy isn’t stable yet,” Lin Qiao immediately comforted Mrs. Lin.
“It’ll certainly be unstable, as you made the breakthrough in such a rush,” Lin Wenwen said.
“Alright, Mom, we’re both fine! Aren’t we standing right in front of you now?” Lin Feng said.
Mrs. Lin glanced at him, then replied, “Who is worrying about you? I’m worrying about Lin Qiao’s baby!”
While speaking, she turned to look at Lin Qiao’s lower belly.
“Viney is fine. She’s good. Alright, Mom, we’re fine! You guys have stayed here for days. You can go back and rest now.” Lin Qiao pushed Mrs. Lin out of her door.
“Are you really okay? You’re not lying to me, are you?” Mrs. Lin glanced back at her worryingly, trying to find something in her eyes. The look in Lin Qiao’s eyes was perfectly calm and peaceful.
“I’m really not lying. She’s fine, and she has woken up. She’s pretty energetic now,” Lin Qiao said.
“Sister, since you’re okay, I’m going back to sleep!” Lin Wenwen covered her mouth with a hand and yawned, then headed downstairs. The Lin Family people had all stayed in Lin Qiao’s room, waiting for her during these days without taking any proper rest.
“Go,” Lin Qiao said to her.
At that point, Lin Hao stared at Lin Qiao’s lower belly and said, “We’ve found some obstetrics devices last time. Those are all in my place. I’m not familiar with obstetrics… But I’ve been reading relevant books recently. Come to my place when you have time, then I’ll check the baby’s condition for you.”
Lin Qiao gave him a glance, feeling that Lin Hao was indeed worrying about her and Viney. But, in the meantime, he was also curious about her body condition. That professionals’ curiosity was the reason why he cared so much about her body.
“Alright, I get it. I’ll find you when I have time. However, according to Viney, your devices might not be able to find anything about her,” Lin Qiao nodded at Lin Hao.
“Alright,” Lin Hao didn’t say anything else, but nodded and left.
“Are you really okay?” Mrs. Lin stared at Lin Qiao and asked again.
“I’m okay! Mom, just go down and rest. You’re not young anymore. You need rest,” Lin Qiao helplessly pushed Mrs. Lin forward.
Only after that did Mrs. Lin reluctantly follow the others downstairs.
Sensing that Lin Qiao had come out of her s.p.a.ce, Qiu Lili and Yun Meng, who had been wandering around the base, returned quickly as well.
“It took you so long this time!” Qiu Lili leaped down the roof and said when she saw Lin Qiao by the stairs.
Lin Qiao nodded while heading downstairs, “It did take a pretty long while.”
She went to the third floor, over to Wu Chengyue’s room to find the little one. But, before she walked up to her door, Wu Chengyue came out with the little girl.
“Ah, I was going to find you,” Wu Chengyue smiled at her and said. At that time, the little one immediately freed her hand from her father’s hand and ran toward Lin Qiao. Every time she did that, Wu Chengyue felt as if he was abandoned.
“I’m here for the little one. Do you have anything to say to me?” Lin Qiao let the little girl hold her thigh while looking at Wu Chengyue.
“Nothing. Since you haven’t left, I was going to tell you that we’re preparing to head back,” Wu Chengyue looked at her and replied.
Despite what he said, he wasn’t really going to leave.
“Ah, good. If you stayed for a longer time, I might suspect you for having some other kind of purpose!” Lin Qiao quickly turned and brought Wu Yueling downstairs.
Wu Chengyue pulled a long face. He said what he said to see if the female zombie would ask him to stay. As a result, she almost asked him to leave sooner.
“Eh? Aunty!” A little head stuck out from around the corner of the stairs, and then, another little head stuck out below it.
Lin Qiao turned that way and found that they were Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong.
Lin Xiaolu had been calling Lin Qiao Aunty now. Mrs. Lin and Cheng w.a.n.gxue asked her to call Lin Qiao that. She had no idea why she needed to call her aunty. That young lady wasn’t familiar with her family, but always helped them.
Lin Xiaolu missed Lin Qiao though. Kids could be very sensitive. She always felt that this new Aunty of hers was very similar to her real Aunty.
“Oh, Xiaolu, let’s go down and play together… Tongtong too,” Seeing the two kids, Lin Qiao walked over smilingly.
At that moment, a ball of fur darted out from behind her.
“Wow! The big gray rabbit!” Seeing the rabbit, both Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong had their eyes glowed. That rabbit only liked to stay with Wu Yueling. Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong wanted very much to play with it, but it hardly got close to them.
Lin Qiao turned around and bent over, gripping the soft skin behind the rabbit’s back and lifting it up. Then, she walked to Lin Xiaolu and put the rabbit in her arms.
“Let’s go and play in the lobby.”
