In the space, Lin Qiao, who didn’t yet know that her identity was uncovered, spent two days to finally absorb all of Viney’s energy. After that, she found the lights around her turning brighter and brighter. As she thought, she was still at the bottom of the lake.
As she regained the control of her own body, she immediately swam upward. While swimming, she suddenly saw a few locks of black hair drifting before her eyes. She was puzzled for a moment, then touched her head with a hand while swimming.
Her hair were no longer spiky. She put her five fingers into her soft and long hair, then put the hair before her eyes.
They had grown out! They were her hair!
Seeing her new hair, Lin Qiao was instantly cheered up. She swam upward at a higher speed, and for some reason, she felt quite free in the lake. She didn’t need to spend too much effort, because she was able to swim fast very easily. Moreover, the energy in her lake gave her a comfortable feeling.
Soon, she reached the water surface. She bobbed up and looked around, her eyes showing a faint confusion. After that, she swam toward the lakeside.
At that time, Shen Yujen, who might have sensed her vibe, slowly walked out of a small space. She looked at Lin Qiao confusedly, also with puzzlement in her eyes.
She clearly sensed that Lin Qiao’s vibe had changed, and so had her scent. Her scent had become sweet and tempting.
However, her vibe had become even scarier than before. She seemed to be at a higher level now, and her vibe was mixed together with that of the vine plant in the lake. Another strange vibe was also contained in the mixture.
The pressure which was given to Shen Yuzhen by Lin Qiao’s current vibe was stronger than what her old vibe gave her many times over.
Shen Yujen watched Lin Qiao slowly come out of the water, then pick up the clothes on the chair to dress herself.
She was surprised to see Lin Qiao’s long hair. She had only been in the lake for about ten days. How could her hair grow so long within such a short time? Was she able to grow her hair along with her level?
Lin Qiao put the clothes on, then looked at her hands and touched her wet hair. After that, she touched her eyes.
She didn’t notice that her eyes had turned to black and white from purely black. Her pupils were glowing green, which made her eyes look like the eyes of western people. However, she had an oriental face.
She put the cosmetic contacts which she took out earlier back into her eye sockets. In fact, she didn’t need those anymore, but she had yet to figure that out.
She noticed Shen Yujen’s gaze. There was quite a distance between them, but still, she felt the latter’s emotions.
Shen Yuzhen was confused, scared, and obedient… Lin Qiao sensed her complicated feelings over the distance. She also sensed fear and desire for hiding from the woods, which was pretty far away.
She walked to the couch area where Shen Yujen was, then asked her,
What’s wrong? What are you afraid of?
After saying that, she paused in shock.
Her voice was fixed. It was no longer unpleasantly dry and hoarse, but silvery and sweet-sounding like a healthy female voice.
Shen Yujen paused briefly as well upon hearing Lin Qiao’s voice, because she didn’t expect her voice to recover as well.
She walked toward Lin Qiao and carefully looked at her.
Lin Qiao was able to sense her thoughts.
Yeah, I think I have upgraded. And my body has been repaired, also activated. But, it’s only halfway activated. As for the other half, I might need to wait for a long while for it to be activated.
She touched her stomach while speaking. Viney had told her that the day Viney was born would be the day her body got activated completely.
Viney also said that that would be the most dangerous part of the whole activation process.
Shen Yujen looked at her and nodded.
I’m ready to go out and head to the new base. Are you still unwilling to go out to see Chen Yuting?
Lin Qiao asked her.
Hearing her mention Chen Yuting, Shen Yujen shook her head, then opened her mouth and said something silently.
Lin Qiao glanced at her with surprise, saying,
Eh? Have you thought it through? You should have figured it out long ago. If he cared about what you look like now, he wouldn’t have begged me to turn you into a zombie. Don’t you trust your relationship?
Shen Yujen slowly shook her head, then nodded.
Lin Qiao sighed and said,
I’ll bring you there then. I’ll let you out when I arrive.
Shen Yujen looked at her and nodded expectantly.
After that, Lin Qiao flashed out of her space in her invisible state and came into the room where Lin Wenwen lived in Sea City Base. She sniffed around and found that the scents belonging to Lin Wenwen, Yuan Tianxing, and the others had almost faded. She only grasped some traces of their scents which were left there days ago.
However, she sensed the scents of Du Yuanxing and two soldiers from the room across the hall. Only the three of them were left here.
Based on those faint, lingering scents in that room, Lin Qiao figured that Yuan Tianxing and the others had left Sea City Base for the new base which was located in the Upper City District in Hangzhou.
She glanced at the door and the windows, and found that they were all locked. The outside was bright, seeming to be afternoon time.
She didn’t open the door, but headed to the door of the balcony.
Then, she realized that she was now able to do anything in her invisible state except for using her superpower. She could even kill a person with her claws while staying invisible. So now, she could deliver perfect sneak attacks or assassinations.
She gently unlocked the door and pushed it open, then spent a moment sensing the surrounding vibes. She found that quite a few vibes were hiding around the room for some unknown reason. The owners of those vibes should have been watching this room for the whole time.
Therefore, she pushed the door open very slowly, as if the door was opened by a breeze. No one was able to see her anyway.
After coming out, she closed the door form the outside, then leaped out of the balcony. In the next moment, she was on the roof of another building.
She had no shadow, not even when she stood under the sunlight. That had been making her feel as if she was a traceless ghost. Right now, she still didn’t have a shadow even under the bright daylight!
She thought that her special skills might be disabled after she turned back into a human being. But to her surprise, her skills weren’t affected at all.
She landed on a tree, then popped her translucent black nails and scratched a branch.
Crack!
Following the slight noise, the branch broke.
She turned and left that tree, hopping onto a utility pole before leaping toward an administration building. After that, she walked to the building from a corner.
In the crowded first floor hall, no one discovered her presence. Anyway, she didn’t linger there, but headed straight to the Mission Hall.
Soon, she made a tour in the Misson Hall and spent a while watching Du Yuanxing and the others doing the recruitment work. As nothing abnormal was found, she turned and left toward an area where nobody was present.

Lin Qiao entered an old building beside the administration building. It was a small, three-storeyed building, and the gate before the stairs wasn’t locked. She took the stairs to the third floor, which had a hallway in the middle with rooms on both sides.
Lin Qiao walked into the hallway, then paused abruptly. A man was standing in front of her before a door, and banging on it loudly.
‘Something is happening here
!’ she thought.
She walked over and stood at two meters behind that man to observe him.
He was a superpowered man, only at level-four, wearing a leisure suit. The suit was nicely styled, simple, and elegant, perfectly highlighting the man’s tall and slim body.
However, the suit looked very old.
Standing two meters away from them, Lin Qiao had been sensing a strong foul smell, maybe because she was a zombie with a very sensitive sense of smell.
The man looked in his thirties and was not ugly, but not handsome either. He was just an average-looking man.
After banging the door for a few times and getting no response at all, he put a hand into his pocket and took out a key. After that, he inserted the key into the keyhole and twisted it.
Crack!
Following a slight noise, the door was opened by him.
Huang Xiaoqing, I know you’re home. I have a way to get in even though you didn’t open the door for me. You see, I’m coming in now. Are you still gonna hide?
The man didn’t walk in immediately after opening the door, but stood at the door and widely opened it. He talked with a proud grin, his eyes glowing with a light of excitement.
However, the grin on his face froze when he looked inside the room.
Lin Qiao, who was behind him, sensed the change of his emotion and walked up with curiosity. She looked into the room, then showed a knowing look in her eyes.
No wonder that man froze. In the room, a woman was sitting on the couch with another man. They had their arms around each other, and were both looking at the man at the door scornfully.
However, Lin Qiao didn’t pay attention to those people, but soon turned her eyes to the man who was tied up, sitting in a corner.
That man’s head was slightly lowered. He sat there silently, as if he didn’t even exist. Therefore, the man at the door didn’t notice him.
The woman on the couch looked at the man at the door displeasedly and said,
What are you doing here? I’ve told you to not come to me anymore. Yet you sneakily made a copy of my key. Are you going to do something bad?
The man at the door had his expression changed immediately. He angrily walked into the room with big steps and pointed at the man who was sitting beside the woman as he asked,
Who is him? You found a boy-toy so quickly? Good for you!
While speaking, he began sneering.
The woman’s face reddened as she abruptly stood up and yelled at that man,
What are you talking about! He’s not a boy-toy! You think I’d agree to be together with a man like you? In your dream! There are lots of men in this base who’re more capable than you!
Lin Qiao followed that man into the room and looked at the woman. She found that even though the woman was a commoner, her clothes were pretty new, and of good quality at that.
She then glanced at the room. The room was fully furnished by almost new furniture pieces. Not too many old things were seen.
Clearly, except for this woman, a quite capable man also lived in this place. Otherwise, a female commoner could never be able to live in a building like this and have so many furniture pieces.
This could be considered a rather good place in the post-apocalyptic world.
That long-haired woman was quite pretty. She wasn’t stunningly beautiful, but did look young and comely. However, Lin Qiao didn’t like the vibe that she was giving.
She was about twenty-seven or eight years old, wearing a low-cut top, a tight skirt, and a pair of seven-centimeters heels, exposing her obvious cleavage and a pair of slightly fat legs.
In the post-apocalyptic world, dressing like this would make a woman look exactly like a prostitute.
Lin Qiao disliked these sexy kind of clothes the most. She believed that women shouldn’t wear these unless they wanted to make some men commit certain crimes.
Judging by the current situation, the relationships between that woman and those men seemed to be a little complicated. ‘It should be like this
,’ thought Lin Qiao.
The man who was sitting on the couch was a level-five superpowered man. He wasn’t handsome either, but looked slightly younger and better than the man who just came in.
He was wearing a clean pair of jeans and a shirt, lazily leaning against the back of the couch.
Oi, watch your language. From this moment on, Huang Xiaoqing is my woman. Her ex-boyfriend has given her to me. Who are you?
While speaking, the man in a shirt pointed at the man in the corner, who had been staying motionless with his head lowered. Only after that did the man in an old suit notice the third man in this room.
With both surprise and doubts, he observed the man in the corner while asking,
Are you… Xie Dong?
The man in the corner didn’t reply, neither did he make any move. He just kept sitting there.
The man in old suit stared at him for a few seconds, then turned to the man on the couch and the woman who was standing in front of him. At last, he suddenly turned to leave.
Wait! Leave the key of my apartment!
Huang Xiaoqing yelled at him.
The man swung an arm back and threw the key to the floor, then walked away quickly, leaving the door wide open.
He sneakily made a copy of my key! Thankfully, he came at daytime. If he showed up at night, I’d be in a trouble!
Huang Xiaoqing angrily walked to the door and closed it with while complaining.
On her way back to the couch, she bent over to pick up the key from the floor. While doing that, her round hip was raised high enough to make the man on the couch have his blood boil.
The man stared at her hip and swallowed his saliva. As the woman walked back to his side, he couldn’t help but put an arm around her waist and make her sit straight on his lap.
Meanwhile, his hands were already all over her.
Aw, don’t do this. There’s someone else in this room!
The woman chuckled and said. Despite her words, she didn’t make any move to resist.
The man paused briefly, then turned to Xie Dong who was sitting in the corner and said scornfully,
So what? Can’t we just let him watch a free show? Eh? Come here and let me kiss you.
After saying that, he put his mouth to that woman’s neck and started kissing her.
The woman tried to dodge while chuckling and saying,
What should we do now? Should we kick him out? But, this apartment is registered under his name. If he crosses my name, I won’t be able to live here anymore.
The man responded carelessly while touching the woman’s body,
If you want, I can send him to the security department and tell the guys over there that he’s one of Yang Chao’s people. After that, he won’t be able to come out alive.
