Knowing that Mrs. Lin was worrying about her health, Lin Qiao felt warm in the heart. Ill be okay! She laughed, Im good! Besides, as you can see, Im getting better and better, arent I? I cant possibly turn back into a human, but I didnt become a brainless zombie either. Im just living with a new identity, in a new way. As long as Im alive, these arent problems.

Mrs. Lin was still worried. But but your new identity If other people found out about it, they certainly wont be okay with it. If troubles are stirred up, what will you do?

Ive already talked to Tianxing about that, said Lu Tianyu, He doesnt know that Im Lin Qiao, so hes been seeing me only as a zombie named Lu Tianyu. In his eyes, were simply benefiting each other. I think I can be considered as a special partner of his.

Mrs. Lin looked at her and said, In that case, he wont trust you with a whole heart.

She was right. Yuan Tianxing was only seeing Lin Qiao as a strange zombie. He believed that Lin Qiao was protecting him and his people for some kind of purpose. Therefore, he had been keeping vigilance against her and her zombie friends, even though they were in cooperation.

After all, he had no idea that Lu Tianyu the zombie was Lin Qiao. Like many others, he believed that one should never intend to do harm to others, but should always guard against the harm others might do to him.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, Youre right. I drew a clear line between him and me, and signed a treaty with him because hes vigilant against me. I pictured the worst future for zombies, so he could relax his vigilance against me. I cant let him, an unhelpful teammate who doesnt really know whats happening, bring me difficulties when Im trying my best to help you guys, can I?

Hearing Lin Qiao call Yuan Tianxing an unhelpful teammate, Mrs. Lin spent a moment thinking about what he was really like. He was nothing like an unhelpful teammate.

Yet, she couldnt help but laugh. Indeed! There wouldnt be a big problem with that if you were not a zombie. Currently, only we know that you and your friends are zombies. The ones from Sea City Base dont know about that yet. Im afraid that things are gonna change when the human power of this new base grows stronger. Do you think youll be able to stay here when people find out that youre zombies?

Lin Qiao replied smilingly, Dont worry about that! Yuan Tianxing and I are going to divide this base into two, like Yin and Yang. In the future, we wont step into the human area, and human beings will stay away from our territory. Also, I will strengthen myself and raise my force. Believe me, my force will become a super army of the post-apocalyptic era. We wont attack human beings, but we wont let them bully us either.

She made that decision after thinking about the situation of her and her mutated zombie friends. She had been searching and catching level-four zombies these days because she wanted to see if she could raise an army of normal zombies.

Those zombies didnt need to go through a mutation process, neither did them need humanity or memories.

She would provide those zombies with limited amounts of lake water to replenish their energy, because she found that the energy in the lake water was very powerful. The transitions of Xie Dong and Shen Yujen were interfered by that energy, and both Liu Jun and Mengmeng restored their memories under its effect.

She wanted a zombie army. She didnt need her zombie soldiers to restore their memories; because if that happened, many unpredictable changes would happen too.

Mrs. Lin looked at her, feeling slightly surprised. I didnt know that youve been thinking so much further ahead

But soon, she realized that Lin Qiao was indeed a foresighted person. She nodded and said, Alright. I guess youre used to leading an army. Even after becoming a zombie, you planned to build a zombie army. For survival, having a powerful army is indeed highly necessary.

How many soldiers do you have now? Mrs. Lin sighed and continued, All of them that you put on the fifth floor are zombies, arent they it? I think youve sent some of them to guard outside, right?

Lin Qiao nodded and said, Yeah. Except for Tongtong, all of them are zombies. Theyre all at high levels, and have humanity. As for the ones who are less human-like and not so good at self-control, I sent them out to guard the roads.

I see, Mrs. Lin nodded.

Then, Lin Qiao started mentioning the reason she came here tonight. But, Im leaving tomorrow, and will be away for one or two months. So, dont go to the fifth floor unless you have to, and dont go out of the zombie wall unless its urgent. If anything happens, go to the fifth floor to find Mengmeng as quickly as you can. She has restored her memory, so you dont need to be afraid of her.

Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Qiao with surprise, Mengmeng? That girl who looks like a high school student, with half a face covered in scales? Did she restore her memory?

She was familiar with Mengmeng. Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong liked to play with her. At first, the adults were worried if that zombie would suddenly go crazy and attack the two children, but then they found that she seemed to be innocent and harmless when she was with children.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, Yes, her.

You said that youll be away for a month or two. Where will you go? Mrs. Lin asked.

Lin Qiao looked at her and thought for a moment, then responded, Im going to Hades Base, to look for the place where I lost my memories.

Hearing that, Mrs. Lin spent a few seconds gazing at Lin Qiao. After that, she said, Youre going back to Hades Base? Wont that be dangerous? Yang Jianhua and the leader of Earth Dragon Base are still there. What if you run into them?

Mom, dont worry! Lin Qiao said, Ill avoid them. I dont remember anything about them now, so even if I saw them, Ill stay calm. Besides, they wont recognize me. Therefore, nothing too bad will happen even if I ran into them. Besides, I have a space. Itll be easy for me to escape.

Hearing Lin Qiaos confident words, Mrs. Lin nodded even if she was still a little worried. She knew her daughter. As long as Lin Qiao had made her decision, she would manage to do what she wanted by any means, and wouldnt listen to anyone who tried to stop her.

Mrs. Lin thought for a moment, then asked, Are you going to try to recollect your memory? Its strange though. You can restore others memories, so why cant you fix your own?

Im not sure, Lin Qiao said, I always feel that Ive lost something in the South. So, Im gonna go and try to find it. Perhaps, my memory will come back when I find that thing.

I get it, said Mrs. Lin knowingly.
