“Alright…” Qiu Lili responded without fully understanding Lin Qiao’s words. Clearly, she wasn’t interested in that topic.

“But now, he has solved some small problems for us,” Lin Qiao smiled as she dug another sweet potato out of the ground.

“That’s true!” Qiu Lili thought for a moment and understood.

“We’ve gotten enough rest. It’s time to deal with Hidden Cloud City,” Lin Qiao stood up, then turned to the Southwest as she narrowed her eyes.

“Eh? Are you ready to do it?” Qiu Lili looked at her.

Lin Qiao nodded and replied, “But first, I need to solve the zombie emperor problem. Oh, I haven’t asked you about his name yet. What is his name?”

“Mo Yan,” Qiu Lili said his name reluctantly.

“Oh… eh?” Lin Qiao nodded at first, and then seemed to think of something.

“What’s wrong?” Qiu Lili looked at her curiously.

“Mo Yan… That name sounds familiar. Let me think about it…” Lin Qiao frowned and thought for a moment. Soon, her eyes glowed as she continued, “It’s him! No wonder I found him having those strange emotions… He is repulsed by humans, and is also afraid of them.”

“Do you know him?” Qiu Lili looked at Lin Qiao with both confusion and surprise.

“Not really. I had heard about him,” Lin Qiao shook her head.

“The second year after the apocalypse, a Northeast base caught a special superpowered man. They treated him like an experimental subject, like what people did to Lin Kui. But, I heard that he suffered a lot worse than Lin Kui did. Those people cut off his flesh while he was still alive.” Lin Qiao said.

Qiu Lili was stunned a little. She slightly widened her eyes and murmured, “Cut… cut off his flesh? Superpowered man? He was a human back then, wasn’t he? Wasn’t that extremely painful? He was killed by the pain, wasn’t he?”

She could easily imagine how painful it would be when a healthy human being was caught and turned into an experimental subject, having his body cut into pieces while he was still alive. No ordinary person could stand that kind of pain.

“We heard about that later. At that time, we had just started to build our own base. Besides, we were in the South while they were in the Northeast. They were far away from us. Later on, I heard that he died in a zombie attack. I also heard that those people cured him while cutting off his flesh, just to keep him alive. If the zombie attack didn’t happen, he might have suffered for a much longer time,” Lin Qiao recalled that what happened to the man shocked many people back then.

“Why… Why did those people cut off his flesh? Did he have a special power?” Qiu Lili asked, while picturing that pretty man being chained and locked in a lab, and people cutting off his flesh from his arms and legs, slice by slice.

Imagining that scene, she had her hair standing on their ends. That much be so painful!

“I heard that his blood and flesh could help superpowered people upgrade. Back at that time, zombies were everywhere, and people were weak. Under those circumstances, everybody wanted to grow stronger as soon as possible,” said Lin Qiao.

Qiu Lili fell into silence.

Humans were horrible!

“At times, poor people can be utterly detestable, and vice versa. Under that kind of torment, anyone would wish for death. Also, there’s one thing that you probably didn’t notice. Earlier, Mo Yan didn’t attack our base, because he is actually having a fear toward human beings,” Lin Qiao said.

“Em… Are you saying that he’s actually afraid of getting close to humans? Is that why he stayed outside the base? I thought he was planning on something,” Qiu Lili said, “But, he eats people! He even eats people!”

“What’s wrong about that? He is a zombie now, and it’s reasonable for him to eat humans. After all, humans used to eat him! What’s the difference between those people who ate his flesh and those post-apocalyptic robbers out there?” said Lin Qiao carelessly.

The zombie emperor didn’t give out a strong hostility and the scent of blood. His vibe and anger were both pure and natural. No strong evilness could be detected from him.

That made Lin Qiao wonder.

The zombie emperor’s vibe was a little ambivalent; it was both good and evil.

Qiu Lili looked at Lin Qiao with confusion and said, “You sound like you’re speaking for him…”

“Am I?” Lin Qiao brought the basket back to the wooden cabin. Hearing Qiu Lili says that she seemed to be speaking for the zombie emperor, she turned, gave Qiu Lili a glance while replying, “I feel sympathy for him, for what he has been through. I’m not speaking for him. If he refuses to leave us alone and insists on causing us trouble, I won’t let him get away with it.”

“He’s out there right now. He is quite a threat to our base, isn’t he? Why don’t you just fight him and make him leave?” Qiu Lili asked a question that she wanted to ask since long ago.

“Because… I want to see if we can work together with him,” Lin Qiao put the basket on the clearing before the cabin and carried on, “Besides, if we really started a serious fight, I might not be a match for him.”

“Eh? But that day, you…”?‘You seemed every strong,?‘ Qiu Lili thought.

“And, didn’t you kill Lu Zhuofeng? He was at level-eight! Why can’t you defeat a zombie emperor?” Qiu Lili looked at her confusedly.

“That day, I was bluffing him. He didn’t know much about us after all. I am only at level-seven. There’s still a difference between level-eight zombies and me. Plus, he is a possessor of lightning power. When he bursts in fury, do you think he’ll flatten our base with a thunderstorm? I killed Lu Zhuofeng by entrapping him in my space. That might not work for the zombie emperor. Zombies are not like humans. I might be able to trap him, but he would perhaps make my space explode,” said Lin Qiao.

She could not tell exactly how powerful Mo Yan could be.

“Then… You can just trap him in your space,” said Qiu Lili.

Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “No, I don’t have time.”

To suppress the zombie emperor in her space, she needed to focus her will power in her space all the time. Where could she find that much time?

However, it was time for her to do something to make him leave.

She decided to talk to the zombie emperor the next day. However, her plan was postponed because of something that happened that night.

Viney, who had slept for over a month, finally woke up.

‘Mama, Mama…’

Lin Qiao was sitting in Mrs. Lin’s room, reading some files while listening to the others talking. Hearing Viney’s voice, she paused briefly, then immediately lowered her head to look at her own belly.

She didn’t make any sounds, but talked to Viney in her heart,?‘Viney, you’re finally awake!’

‘Yeah, I’m awake. I feel that I’ve had a very long sleep…’?Viney sounded happy.

Lin Qiao laughed in her head,?‘Of course. You’ve slept for more than a month.’

‘Oh, but I might sleep longer time in the future…’?Speaking of that, Viney became a little upset.
