Chapter 527: There’s Another Thing

The others looked at her with confusion, failing to understand her words immediately.

“The… The Viney from your lake? That white vine plant?” Lin Wenwen knew a little about Viney and she processed the information fast.

Lin Qiao nodded in response.

At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly recalled Viney. When Lin Xiaolu’s superpower was triggered, Lin Qiao had brought him into her space, and he had seen Viney at that time.

“Are you talking about that vine plant which helped Xiaolu trigger her power last time? Isn’t it… a plant in your lake? Why is it now…” While speaking, Lin Feng unwittingly turned his eyes to Lin Qiao’s lower abdomen.

Following him, the others all fixed their eyes on her belly.

Lin Qiao put a hand on her belly, then nodded and responded, “Yes, it’s her.”

The look in her eyes had turned gentler, but she didn’t notice it.

“She… how? And you…” Lin Wenwen didn’t even know what to say, but looked at Lin Qiao with confusion.

“Viney looked like a vine plant, but actually, she didn’t have a real body. She created those vines with her energy. She has been helping me improve my zombie level and body condition the whole time. When I upgraded, she did too. However, she needed much greater amounts of energy to upgrade than I did. So, even though I’ve already reached level-six-or-seven, she has just entered level-four,” Lin Qiao explained.

“Then how did she… eh, become your baby?” Lin Hao looked at her and asked. He tried to figure out, but failed.

“Em… About how… I think she combined her mind and energy, and then entered my body,” said Lin Qiao.

“So… But, you’re a zombie! Not to mention whether your eggs are still alive, the egg needed to be fertilized, right? Eh… Oh, who’s that man? Tell us!” Lin Hao was scratching his chin and thinking about Lin Qiao’s body condition, but suddenly, he thought of the fertilization. So, he raised his head to stared at Lin Qiao while asking that question.

Lin Qiao glanced up at the ceiling, then smiled at him and said, “Um… There’s no man! I impregnated myself!”

After saying that, she turned and found the four staring at her with distrust.

“Eh… hehe…” She paused for a second, feeling embarrassed.

“You’re lying!” Lin Wenwen pointed at her and said.

“She’s right. You always look at the ceiling before lying! And after that, you’ll smile like this… Yes, this weird smile!” Lin Hao stared at her and also raised a hand to point at her.

The smile froze on Lin Qiao’s face when she covered her forehead with a hand.

She dropped that hand, then grinned at her family and said, “Who said that my eggs aren’t alive? Although I’m a zombie now, many parts of my body have been activated by the energy in my lake. I am a zombie indeed, but many parts of mine aren’t zombified anymore. For example, I can talk, and my eyes look like human eyes, and my scars have all been healed. So, I think it’s not a difficult thing to activate my eggs.”

“Yeah, you have become a zombie, but you can talk. That’s pretty miraculous!” Lin Wenwen looked at Lin Qiao with surprise as she let the other change the topic pretty easily.

Lin Hao was a medical student, and had done some studies on human bodies. He was interested in the body system of zombies too, so he was easily attracted by Lin Qiao as well.

“You said that some of your organs have been activated. So, if you keep activating your body, will you be able to activate your entire body and eventually turn back into a human being?” Lin Hao popped his eyes and asked with curiosity.

Lin Qiao shook her head and replied, “I thought that was a possibility, but after I absorbed my old nucleus, I found that it’s impossible.”

“Eh? Why?” The others looked at her confusedly.

“Because my body condition is limited. I’m having this faint feeling. Before I absorbed my old nucleus, I always felt that my body was in an unstable state. But afterward, that feeling is gone for good. Now, I feel that I’ve settled in the realm of death, and that my body will no longer change,” Lin Qiao gently scratched her chin while speaking.

Then, she raised her hands to show her purely black fingernails to the others.

Her fingers didn’t carry the virus, but her nails were full of it. She could infect other living beings with her nails by creating a slight scratch on their skin.

There was one thing that she did not understand—Why did Lin Yu come back to life after being accidentally bitten by her? She had learned about his power, which was similar to her dark fire, but weaker.

“Is that so? Were you just in a special state? So… What are you pregnant with now?” Mrs. Lin finally joined the conversation. While speaking, she stared at Lin Qiao’s belly and thought ‘Please don’t give birth to a little zombie !’

Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “To be honest, I don’t know!”

“It’s very likely to be a little zombie,” Lin Hao crossed his arms before his chest, his eyes also fixed on Lin Qiao’s belly. “If your genes didn’t change, everything inside your body might carry the virus,” he continued, “So, since Viney is able to survive inside your body, I guess she’s a zombie too. Also, how have you been nourishing her?”

“She can absorb zombie nuclei or the nuclei of mutated animals or plants directly. But, I can feel that her growth is very slow. Since I returned from Sea City, I haven’t felt any change in her at all,” Lin Qiao said.

“She’s a zombie now, so she can’t be pregnant with a human being,” said Lin Wenwen to Lin Hao.

“You’re right,” Lin Hao glanced at Lin Wenwen and nodded.

“I only want to know if the baby will affect you in any bad ways,” Lin Feng, who hadn’t said anything yet, now started talking.

“That… I’m not sure!” Lin Qiao shook her head uncertainly.

She remembered that Viney said when she was about to be born, both she and Lin Qiao would face a great danger. So, there was still one barrier to pass.

“What do you mean? Will the baby put you in some kind of danger?” Hearing Lin Qiao’s words, Mrs. Lin got anxious.

“Well, Mom, I never actually understand Viney’s way of living, but she herself seems to know all the details. She has reminded me that when I give birth to her, both of us will need to face a great difficulty. If we get through that, we’ll both live healthily, and will upgrade and grow stronger. But if we don’t…”

She didn’t finish her words. But still, the others had guessed out what she meant to say.
