Yuan Tianxing and Du Yuanxing instantly turned to Lin Qiao to try and tell Lin Wenwen that it was Lin Qiao who gave that suggestion, and not them. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao glanced at Lin Wenwen and said, “You cut your hair because I told you so? Why are you so obedient to me? Haven’t you ever thought about cutting your hair before? Someone used to give you the same suggestion, right?”

Lin Wenwen touched the short hair near her tear awkwardly while saying, “It’s because the circumstances before weren’t as bad as now. Besides, if I refused to cut my hair, you guys might complain.”

‘We’ll still complain about you even though you have cut your hair!’?The others said in their heads.

Lin Wenwen seemed to have sensed their gazes. “Judging by the way you’re looking at me now, you’ll think that I’m not strong enough even though I’ve already cut my hair, don’t you? That’s reasonable though. I cut my hair, but nothing else changed.”

“In fact, even if you want to change, you didn’t need to cut your hair,” said Long Qingying expressionlessly.

“I cut my hair because short hair is convenient to take care of, and easy to wash,” said Lin Wenwen, “I can save some water this way. Isn’t it better?”

Long Qingying looked at her, but didn’t say anything.

“Whatever you like,” said Lin Qiao, “However, you’ve cut your hair, and it means something in your heart has changed. Do what you think you should be doing.”

Lin Wenwen looked at her and nodded, then walked to the window as she looked at the dark cloud which rumbled from time to time, “When will the fight stop? Won’t they cause great damages by fighting like that in the base?”

Yuan Tianxing answered her question, “There will certainly be damages. As for whether the damages will be great or not, I think no.”

Lin Qiao prepared to stand up and walk to the window to look outside as well. But suddenly, she sensed something from her space. After pausing for a second, she disappeared on the couch.

After spending an afternoon and a night to absorb the energy, Viney finally made a move.

Lin Qiao showed up by the lakeside, watching the roaring waves in the lake.This time, the water level didn’t rise, but the energy contained in the water had grown denser.

She glanced back and found that Shen Yujen has already hidden in a small space, maybe because of the noise from the water.

In the woods, the zombie dog was quietly and motionlessly lying on the ground.

The water surface calmed down gradually. Lin Qiao thought that Viney would reach out countless vines; but even after waiting for a while, she didn’t see any familiar vine coming out of the water.

Right at that moment, she saw something in the water moving toward her.

The dim figure in the water was…?‘Eh, why does it look like an octopus??‘ Lin Qiao thought.

She widened her eyes to stare at the mysterious figure which was moving its short tentacles to swim toward Lin Qiao. As it got closer and closer, Lin Qiao started to show a strange expression. The look on her face contained shock, delight, confusion, strong curiosity, and anticipation.

That creature which was swimming toward her was Viney indeed.

Judging by her current look, Viney had freed herself from the bottom of the lake already. Was she able to move freely now? Was she able to come ashore? Why did she become smaller than before? It had turned larger after every upgrade previously.

As the white creature got closer and closer to Lin Qiao and bobbed up from the water, Lin Qiao couldn’t help but give a grin.

That jade-white color was Viney’s color, but the shape…

A cluster of vines about one-meter long softly hung behind her white and chubby body.

Viney’s body looked like a ball, so Lin Qiao couldn’t tell which part was her stomach and which part was her neck or head. She did find her face though, as Viney had a pair of large green eyes, a tiny nose, and no mouth!

In fact, Viney’s body was shaped like a giant radish, with relatively smaller head and tail, and a large and round belly. A few strong roots were seen on her tail.

Viney blinked her watery, large green eyes as she supported her body with those strong roots, then happily rushed toward Lin Qiao. However, after making merely two steps, her roots entangled together and then she fell to the ground, rolling back into the water.

“Hah! Viney? Is it you?” Lin Qiao knew that it was Viney, but still, she couldn’t help but call her name with laughter.

Viney sat up from the water after making a few rolls toward the lake center, then raised her root legs and continued running toward Lin Qiao. But as a result, she fell again.

Looking at Viney’s pitiful large eyes, Lin Qiao walked into the lake with a grin, then bent over to scoop up the big-bellied Viney. At that moment, she found that Viney was quite heavy.

‘Mama, Mama! Viney can come up and play! Hahahaha…’

Once she held her up, Lin Qiao heard Viney’s voice and her familiar tone of talking.

Carrying Viney, Lin Qiao found that her body wasn’t hard, but was as soft and elastic as a sponge, and was very heavy!

“Viney, why are you so heavy?” Lin Qiao couldn’t help but ask. If she weren’t a zombie with great strength, she wouldn’t be able to scoop Viney up, as the latter weighed at least fifty kilograms now.

Viney didn’t have hands. However, she happily swung her baby-finger-thick, hair-like vines and her toe-thick roots to deliver a message to Lin Qiao.

‘Mama, Mama, this isn’t Viney’s original shape! Viney can become bigger! Mama, can you bring the little one in here to play with me now? I sensed her vibe. She’s outside!’

“Why do you need her to come in?” Lin Qiao asked, “Can’t you go out with me now?”

Viney tried to shake her head, but in the end, her entire body began shaking, and she almost fell from Lin Qiao’s arms. So, she stopped shaking, but swayed her hair and began talking.

‘No. I can’t touch the air outside now. The air outside will kill me.’

Lin Qiao was shocked by the answer. Just now, she almost brought Viney straight out, as she didn’t think that there’d be an air problem.

“Eh? Why?” she asked confusedly.

Viney answered her question,?‘I can only stay in here to absorb the lake water and the clean air in this place to survive. And, Mama, I haven’t finished my evolution yet. I’ll soon enter the second phase, but I have to do it together with Mama.”

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Clean air? Are you saying that the air outside isn’t clean?”

Viney twisted her hair-like vines and responded, ‘Yes, the air outside will corrode my white body. I can’t get out.’

“How can you get out then?” Lin Qiao asked, “Do you have to reach level-five to be able to go out? Haven’t you entered level-four yet?”

Viney responded with,?‘Not yet! Mama, just go and bring the little one in! Viney wants to play with her! And Mama, bring someone you like in here. It has to be a man, hurry up!’
