At night, Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili entered the space. Lin Qiao asked the latter to give water to the zombies who fought for her today, and then covered her own body with the dark mist before taking off her clothes and going down into the lake.
She swam to the bottom of the lake with a few energy nuclei held in her hands. Those were the nuclei of Yang Jianhua, Huo Wu, Liu Yu, and the zombie nuclei of some high-leveled zombies that she killed out there.
She pressed those nuclei on her belly one after another for Viney to absorb the energy. At dawn, Viney finally finished the absorption.
After absorbing the energy, Viney called Mama with a sweet voice, then fell into deep sleep again.
Lin Qiao's energy still remained in the old state, without changing at all. Maybe because she upgraded too fast earlier on, she now felt a little strange as she had absorbed a great amount of energy but sensed no sign of a breakthrough.
