Chapter 530: Upgrade Xie Dong

Lin Qiao popped her head out of the water and gathered the energy in the lake to wrap herself up with it.

“What’s wrong?” She looked at Xie Dong and asked. The latter pointed a finger at the lake and stayed silent.

Lin Qiao glanced back at the lake, then understood his meaning. The energy in the lake was way too strong, and was giving him a great pressure.

“Ah… I see… Let me think how to let you come down!” Lin Qiao didn’t know what to do either. The energy in the lake was too strong. She couldn’t just tie Xie Dong up and throw him into the lake, could she?

Why wasn’t Yun Meng so afraid? Was it because the energy in the lake wasn’t so thick yet back then, or because she was at a higher level than Xie Dong?

… Or both?

While Lin Qiao was trying to figure out a way to allow Xie Dong to come down into the lake, Qiu Lili and Yun Meng went downstairs to the zombie old man’s room. However, they didn’t sense Lin Qiao’s vibe.

“Eh? Are they in the room?” Yun Meng looked around.

“The old man is here. I guess she and Xie Dong have entered her space,” said Qiu Lili.

“So, we can only wait,” said Yun Meng. Then, she and Qiu Lili turned and left.

Even when the two of them and Lin Qiao were not here, the zombie old man and those zombies on the roof wouldn’t go downstairs. They all understood that downstairs was a forbidden zone. So, none of them dared to go down there without permission from Lin Qiao, Qiu Lili, or Yun Meng.

“I think that old man is a little weird. He seems to be a little like you!” While walking, Qiu Lili abruptly said to Yun Meng. The latter was puzzled at first, then glanced at her and said, “He’s a little weird indeed. But, which part of him is like me?”

Qiu Lili stopped walking and stared at her, “You acted weirdly too before restoring your memory. You’re just like that old man. Well, you didn’t act in the exact same way as him, but you were just similar to him. Also, you liked to steal children! Are you a human dealer?”

After saying that, she gave Yun Meng a disdainful glance, then turned and kept walking.

“What… Can you not always mention my dark history? I was sick back then… Eh, I mean, I had lost my memories, and I was out of my mind. It was normal for me to act like that, wasn’t it? I love children. What’s wrong about that?” Yun Meng disagreed.

“You were caught by Qiaoqiao because you stole a child! You even had the guts to follow her here. If she didn’t want you live, I’d have destroyed you back then, like what I did to those normal zombies!” Qiu Lili snorted proudly.

“Alright, alright, whatever you say! You have the longest hair, so you’re always right,” Yun Meng rolled her eyes. Of course, her eyes were purely black, so her eye-rolling motion wasn’t so obvious.

In the space, Lin Qiao soaked in the water and thought for a moment. Then, she said to Xie Dong, “Wait a minute! Later on, if you can’t sense the pressure anymore, come down immediately.”

Then, she dove to the bottom of the lake and raised both hands as she started to gather all the energy in the lake. A short while later, Xie Dong, who was standing by the lakeside, suddenly felt a slight decrease in the pressure from the lake.

Not only did he sense it; the zombies behind the small building and the ones on the grassland on the other side of the lake sensed it too.

On the lake bottom, Lin Qiao had gathered all the energy in the lake. The dark-green energy was concentrated into a sphere above her head, twisting without a fixed shape. She held her breath and gathered the energy, then carefully compressed the twisting energy sphere with her will power until it became a large ball.

After that, she gently moved the ball aside. She didn’t dare to let it go, but maintained the position and waited for Xie Dong to come down.

Xie Dong found the pressure getting weaker and weaker. Only until it was completely gone did he walk into the water. He dove into the lake and found a vast expanse of gray down there.

He couldn’t see the color of the energy. He wouldn’t be able to see the energy even if he could see colors, because at that moment, the energy had been gathered to the lake bottom by Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao’s vibe had turned lighter in the water, but Xie Dong could still sense it.

He swam toward her, but stopped again at a few meters from her. After all, that highly compressed energy sphere was giving out an even greater pressure now.

Lin Qiao turned and glanced at Xie Dong, who was only wearing a pair of underpants. While stabilizing the energy sphere with one hand, she gently raised the other hand and waved at him.

Xie Dong understood her meaning. He honestly did not want to get close to that energy sphere, but he knew that he had to make his way to it before she could upgrade him.

Lin Qiao shook her hand slightly, and then two sparkling zombie nuclei appeared in that hand. On her way back, she had hunted a few disobedient zombie leaders.

Xie Dong carefully swam to her side, then stepped on the lake bottom and took over the two zombie nuclei. He understood that if he absorbed those two level-five zombie nuclei up there alone, the result wouldn’t be as good as what he was going to get down here with Lin Qiao’s help.

As he took over the zombie nuclei, Lin Qiao asked him to turn around and absorb them with his back toward her. Then, she pressed her palm on his back. The energy that Xie Dong absorbed from the nuclei was drawn to his heart by Lin Qiao with the energy in the lake, before being filtered and sent to his brain.

…

When Lin Qiao was upgrading Xie Dong in her space, Qiu Lili and Yun Meng were waiting for her on the outside while keeping an eye on the group of zombie leaders on the roof.

A couple of hours after Lin Qiao came back to the base, Wu Chengyue, in Sea City Base, received the news about her returning with a troop.

“Oh, she’s back? So soon? I thought she’d return in ten days or half a month. But, she only left for a few days,” Wu Chengyue said to Xiao Licheng smilingly.

“She’s back. Moreover, she didn’t come back alone. She brought thousands of people back from the South. Those are all former residents of Hades Base,” Xiao Licheng nodded and said.

“Is that so? Weren’t those people captured by Long Yubai and Yang Jianhua?” Wu Chengyue asked with curiosity.

“Oh, that’s another news. I heard that Miss. Lu didn’t only go to the South to save them all, but also killed Yang Jianhua and a level-six man from Earth Dragon Base. After that, she threw all the Earth Dragon Base people and the traitors of Hades Base out to feed the zombies,” said Xiao Licheng.

“I see. She has always been very protective of the Lin Family people. So, I guess she wouldn’t spare their enemies,” Wu Chengyue nodded.

That fact had been puzzling him the whole time. Why would Lu Tianyu protect Lin Family which had nothing to do with her?

“There’s more. For some reason, Miss. Lu is has changed drastically after she returned from the South. I heard that she has broken into a higher level, and her vibe has become stronger and sharper. Before leaving, she was barely controlling the new base. But after she returned, she suddenly has full control of the base. Even Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng are following her orders now.”
