"That child silently endured the doctor's modifications day after day in the dark and gloomy laboratory. In fact, that child had experienced moments of warmth and filial piety during his early childhood." After saying these words, A-Yin fell silent again. Xia He listened to everything silently, feeling sorry for A-Yin's plight, being imprisoned in the research institute like an experimental subject by her own father, not knowing what year it was or what tomorrow would bring.
"Then how come you can control zombies?" Xia He asked.
"That child was also turned into a zombie by the doctor, but he had some more intelligence than ordinary zombies, so those zombies could understand what the child was saying."
After hearing this, Xia He went over and gently stroked A Yin's back.
“I have serum from the zombie virus in my body. You can take it and study it. Maybe you can even find a cure for the zombie virus.” Xia He’s pupils widened in disbelief upon hearing this news. “How could that be? Professor Fu extracted your blood before and didn’t find any serum.”
"That's because we also need to combine it with the genes of those zombie plants that my father discovered before," Ayin said.
Xia He wasn't worried at all that Xiao Lin hadn't notified anyone to go down and search, because Xiao Lin's mental monitoring could continuously receive images from the room. Xia He just felt very sorry for A Yin.
"What was it that caused you to experience moments of mental confusion before?" Xia He asked.
“That’s because…” Ah Yin paused for a moment after saying that, then continued, “That’s because my father is summoning me.”
After hearing this, Xia He frowned deeply. Before Xia He could ask any more questions, A Yin continued, "But sister, don't worry. I can sense that the last clone is gone, so no one can control me anymore." A Yin spoke these words calmly, as if the one who died was not his father, but just someone else.
"Sister, you don't need to comfort me. My father's original body died long ago while he was conducting his research. The ones that came after him were just clones." Ayin said these words calmly.
Xia He didn't know how to comfort him for a moment, she just said, "The situation won't be like that again. You can live at the base from now on."
After hearing Xia He say these words, a glimmer of light flashed in the boy's dull eyes, and he looked straight at Xia He, "Is what you said true, sister?"
“Of course, but if you don’t want to stay at the base, you can go somewhere else. We won’t forcibly restrict your personal freedom, as long as you don’t do anything that harms the base,” Xia He continued.
After speaking, Xia He took out some supplies from her spatial storage, including some food, and placed them in A Yin's room. Then she said to the air, "Release the restriction. A Yin can come and go as she pleases from now on." Then she returned to her own room.
After several days of emergency repairs, the base has restored part of its network, and the construction of the defensive wall is in full swing. People in the base are going out to find supplies more frequently. The base is offering high points to entice ability users and residents to hurry up and find supplies. Xia He stands by the window and can see truckloads of supplies being hauled into the base every day.
Of course, zombies kept attacking during this time, but there weren't many of them. It's unclear where all the zombies from before went.
The restoration project at the base is in full swing. Fortunately, there are quite a few towns near the oil field, so the scavengers who go out to collect waste usually have a fairly good harvest each time.
Xia He cultivated her spiritual power in her room every day. During this time, there were also attacks from mutated animals. Xia He went out only when the mutated animals attacked. Otherwise, Xia He stayed in her room and did nothing but stay put. She would never step out of the door!
"Lying down is fun for a while, and lying down all the time is even more fun." Xia He lay on the sofa, tilting her head to watch the show on the projection screen, with a pile of snacks next to her.
"This is so great! I wish Xiaohua was here too," Xia He muttered to herself as she chewed on potato chips.
Just then, a flash of silver light appeared in Xia He's mind, and she immediately realized that Xiao Hua had woken up! She immediately flashed into the space and watched as the ball of light belonging to Xiao Hua kept getting bigger and bigger.
Finally, the light gradually faded, and Little Flower appeared, looking quite fierce.
Looking at the white tiger in front of her, Xia He couldn't help but recall the first time she met Xiao Hua. Back then, this guy was still pretending to be something he was not. After the light completely disappeared, Xia He stepped forward and hugged Xiao Hua's huge body. "Xiao Hua, you're finally awake. I missed you so much. You can't do this kind of thing again!"
Little Flower said rather haughtily, "I only did this because the situation was critical before. Okay, okay, I won't do it again." Little Flower kept muttering to herself, "Let's go out. I slept for so long, I want to eat lots of delicious food!"
Xia He couldn't help but laugh when she saw that Xiao Hua was still being greedy. The two of them left the space, and Xiao Hua transformed back into a little boy. "What do you want to eat? Order whatever you like," Xia He said generously.
"A pineapple beef burger, boneless spicy and sour chicken feet, tom yum soup noodles, curry bread chicken, fried chicken too, a deluxe snail rice noodle soup, a 10-inch durian pizza, a pot of Sichuan-style boiled chicken, and some barbecue, like grilled squid, grilled beef skewers, and most importantly, two skewers of grilled sweet potato noodles." Xiaohua rattled off the menu without any hesitation, completely ignoring Xia He's already cold expression.
"Enough!" Xia He said, but Xiao Hua seemed to ignore her and continued to hold her menu. "I feel like I want to eat everything. I also want a pot of seafood porridge, preferably with stir-fried vegetables. I want to eat spicy rabbit, Kung Pao chicken, and preferably a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs."
Xia He gave Xiao Hua a sharp rap on the head, then expressionlessly placed a pineapple beef burger, a boneless spicy chicken feet, a serving of tom yum soup, and a curry bread chicken on the coffee table. Finally, she gave Xiao Hua a glass of coconut juice to end the meal.
Although Xiaohua looked extremely unconvinced, all her worries disappeared once the food was served! She then began to eat heartily.
"It's so delicious! I was cultivating in my slumber, and all I could think about was food. I was practically drooling with hunger. Xiahe, you're so kind of you," Xiaohua praised as she ate.
Xia He leisurely sipped her milk tea, thinking to herself, "After Xiao Hua woke up, the room became much more lively. Xia He quite enjoyed this feeling. Although Xiao Lin would come every day, he was busy with base matters most of the time, so she rarely saw him."
Just as Xiaohua was happily slurping her noodles, Xiahe spoke up, "Would you like to go out and have a look around with me?"
Xiaohua asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by 'going out to see'?"
Xia He continued, "We're just going to take a look outside the base. We haven't been to any of the towns around here yet, have we? Staying in the base every day is getting quite boring. Now that you're awake, let's go out for a stroll together. We can also take Panda and Tangyuan out for a walk. During this period of cultivation, my spiritual power has reached level 8 of the 5th rank, and I'll be advancing to the 6th rank soon. It's a good opportunity to go out and hone my spiritual power, and find some mutated animals to practice on."
