Viney didnt stop absorbing the energy that night. However, after an entire night, the energy nucleus in Lin Qiaos hand only shrank by ten percent.

In the morning, Viney stopped absorbing.

She also sent a message to Lin Qiao,Mama, Mama Viney is full for now Mama, you can absorb the rest of the nucleus. Im going to sleep Em, Mama, if you can, please save a little bit for Viney, just a little bit

After that, she fell into silence again. Lin Qiao guessed that she went to sleep.

As Lin Qiao prepared to absorb the rest of the energy, Vineys voice was heard again.

Also, Mama, go to the lake bottom to absorb the energy The energy in the lake can filter out the impurities for you

After saying that, Viney didnt say another word.

Lin Qiao was puzzled. Go to the lake bottom? Would that help?

She was aware that Viney would not lie to her, and that she reminded her so because it was good for her.

Thus, she got off the bed and pulled down her clothes, then went downstairs with the energy nucleus, headed toward the lakeside.

When she stood by the chair which she always put her clothes on, and prepared to take off her clothes, she suddenly paused, then turned back to find that a group of zombies were hiding in a small space, sticking their heads out to watch her.

She was speechless for a while.

Should she design a room for her to go straight down into the water? The floor of the room should be connected to the lake, and her clothes could be stored in the room. Without a room like that, she would be watched every time she got into or came out of the lake, wouldnt she?

She looked at those zombies and said, All turn back. Dont watch. The ones who dont turn around can choose your way of death now.

The group of zombies paused for a second. They didnt understand why she didnt allow them to watch her, but still, they turned around obediently. None of them could tell what would happen if they didnt turn around, as she had mentioned that they could choose their way of death.

Even though those zombies seemed to be pretty obedient, Lin Qiao still released a stream of dark mist to wrap herself up before taking off her military vest and pants. She put her clothes on the chair beside her, then pulled off the rubber band on her hair and let them hang loosely.

She glanced back at the group of zombies and found that none of them was peeking. After that, she picked up the energy nucleus and walked into the lake with bare feet.

She got into the water and dove downward. As she was able to control the energy in the water, she felt that both the buoyancy and resistance of the water were gone. She felt as if she was floating in the air, and her body was so light that she could go anywhere she wanted.

So, she soon arrived at the lake bottom. She stood there and held the energy nucleus, then closed her eyes to absorb the energy.

As the cold metal energy flowed into her palm, she sensed that a warm, different type of energy gushed into her other palm. That was the energy in the lake water.

The two streams of energies didnt go straight into her brain, but lingered around her heart to merge. As those two different types of energies merged together, another kind of energy was generated. That new and warm energy moved toward her brain.

Lin Qiao understood what was going on. No wonder Viney told her to come down into the lake. Why didnt Viney ask her to come down earlier when she was absorbing the energy herself? Wouldnt it be better?

Perhaps, Viney was able to filter Tang Hes energy by herself, as she possessed the original energy that existed in the lake.

That could be possible.

While Lin Qiao was thinking, more and more energy flowed into her body. Gradually, the filtered energy started spreading all over her body.

Lin Qiao felt that her body had started burning. Her body temperature rose slowly, then dropped; then rose again, and then dropped again.

Sometimes, her body temperature would go up to over forty degrees, which would make her feel hot. Every time, the highest body temperature lasted for a longer while than the last time, and after that, her body temperature would drop to a very low point, which would make her feel chilly.

That was not the same as before when Viney helped her absorb the energies.

She did not like this drastic change in body temperature!

At that time, a group of people arrived at the new base site. They parked their vehicle on the road, twenty meters away from the zombie crowd, and stared at those zombies which hadnt been moving their feet at all. Their faces were filled with surprise.

Spotting those living human beings, the crowd of zombies immediately turned to them, gazing at them and giving out roars. They bared their teeth and brandished their claws, looking as scary as ever; but, they never charged at those people.

Eh Boss, they are not coming over! Zheng Xiaonian got off the car with curiosity and moved to Lu Tianyis side, his eyes fixed on the crowd of zombies which had jammed the road.

Lu Tianyi responded with a mysterious look, Have you forgotten whose territory this is? She knows how to control these zombies.

Zheng Xiaonian and the others didnt know that Lin Qiao was a zombie, but they all felt that she was very powerful and mysterious. Ever since she had saved them from zombies, they had been seeing her as an incredibly powerful being!

Can she do that? Thats amazing! But here is the problem. How are we supposed to get in? Should we wait?

Judging by the look on Lu Tianyis face, he and his teammates knew that he planned to wait here.

Lu Tianyi spread his hands and said, What other plans do you have? You can try to get close to them and see if theyll let you pass.

Zheng Xiaonian hurriedly shook his hands and said, No! Im not gonna do it! You should do it, youre the boss!

Lu Tianyi crossed his arms before his chest, then shrugged and responded, I dont need to do it, because I know that theyll definitely attack me.

The others looked at him disappointedly.

Then why did you tell me to try? Am I an idiot?thought Zheng Xiaonian.

They waited for half an hour, but saw no one. So, they waited for another half hour; but still, no one showed up.

Do they know that were here? Do we need to wait here forever if they dont send someone to guide us in? One in the team asked Lu Tianyi as people were losing patience.

Lu Tianyi shook his head and said, How am I supposed to know?

The others made some suggestions, Boss, maybe you should go over there and try to get in. Perhaps, someone will show up when you make your way in.

Lu Tianyi glanced at them. He thought for a second, then decided to give it a try, as waiting didnt seem like a good solution.

Alright, Ill give it a try.

At that moment, those zombies were anxious, as they had spent an hour staring at some food, but werent allowed to make a bite.

Lu Tianyi slowly approached those zombies while observing their reactions. If those zombies showed any sign of attacking, he would draw back.

When Lu Tianyi made a few meters forward, a small figure suddenly leaped down from a building nearby.

Roar! The zombie boys face was wrapped in a bandage, but that did not stop him from making a threatening sound. If his boss didnt forbid him from hurting human beings without permission, he would never spend such a long while staring at those people without touching them.

But now, those people actually attempted to pass without permission. Without question, he would not let them.

So, he jumped off the roof.

Looking at the red pupils in the zombie boys purely dark eyes, Lu Tianyi felt his scalp turn a little numb.

Who could tell him if this zombie boy was a gatekeeper of this area?
