Chapter 1081: Become A Zombie Emperor

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao’s space had been dim the whole time, just like the time after dusk and before it was entirely dark. Most of the zombies weren’t very sensitive to lights. Therefore, the dimness didn’t affect Lin Qiao much, and she had gotten used to the light in her space.

Unlike her, the zombie girl keenly sensed the change of the light. When the space started turning brighter, she detected it immediately.

Mo Yan looked at the sky. Before this point, nothing but a thick layer of fog was seen in the sky. But now, the fog had risen high and light was pouring down. What a magical space! What did the zombie lady do at the bottom of the lake?

In the bedroom, Wu Chengyue was still awake. The zombie lady had gone into her space, and he worried if she could come out by tomorrow morning. After all, she only had about six hours left.

She was leaving the base soon, and could not absorb those nuclei on her way. If she couldn’t absorb all those nuclei at one time, she might fail to achieve the breakthrough. Absorbing all of those nuclei at one time was the best way for her to break into a new level.

Trying to upgrade now seemed to be a reckless move, but that was her only choice. She had to grow stronger to secure her own safety after all.

About two in the morning, Wu Chengyue went to the next door to check on the kids. The kids didn’t kick away the quilts, so he returned to Lin Qiao’s bedroom.

…

Somewhere Mo Yan and the other zombies couldn’t see inside Lin Qiao’s space, things were changing quickly.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiao’s body had been changing as well. At first, a stream of netherworld fire was circling around her body. But by now, the fire had wrapped her up entirely. The fire was shaking and twisting in the water, looking a little scary. The nuclei had all sunken in the fire, and Lin Qiao’s body was right in the middle.

Like a black hole, her head had been absorbing energies from the dark fire, stream by stream.

Flame-shaped marks emerged on Lin Qiao’s chest near her heart and spread to the rest of her chest and back, as well as both her arms. Currently, only the area above her neck and below her lower abdomen were still empty, but the marks were reaching those areas.

The more energy she absorbed, the further the marks reached. Gradually, her body was covered in those marks completely.

Those marks reached her face from her neck, looking like the marks on Mo Yan’s skin, but in a different color. Mo Yan’s marks looked like blasting lightning bolts while Lin Qiao’s looked like a burning fire.

As the marks emerged, all the nuclei were instantly absorbed by Lin Qiao’s body. The energies flowed into every corner of her body and then moved toward her head through her veins. As the energy of the netherworld fire merged with her body, the energies from the nuclei all shrank into her brain.

Her hair were still drifting in the water like floating grasses, although they had grown much longer than before. Currently, they almost reached the middle of her thighs.

As the flame marks covered her entire body and stopped spreading, a terrifying vibe erupted from her body. But soon, the energy of the lake that was wrapping around her body sealed it.

Anyhow, the zombies and mutated animals in her space took a heavy strike from that vibe.

“Hoooo…” On the other side of the lake, all the mutated goats and roe deers sprung up and ran away from the lake like startled birds. The few level-four zombies who were wandering in the field suffered pretty badly. Under the strong vibe, they were disabled from moving. Even Mrs. Lin was shocked by the vibe; she wasn’t frightened though.

Mo Yan was the only zombie who wasn’t affected by the vibe as he looked into the bottom of the lake knowingly.

So, the zombie lady went down there to upgrade herself! She seemed to have entered the level of zombie emperors already, and her vibe was almost as strong as Mo Yan’s vibe. It was probably still a bit weaker, but at least, the two of them were now at the same level.

Even though her vibe was still slightly weaker than his, she was already powerful enough to crush him. Mo Yan instinctively felt being threatened by Lin Qiao’s vibe, and somehow grew a depressed mood while his body automatically grew alert.

While the zombies in Lin Qiao’s space were facing her upgraded vibe, the vibe had spread out of her base to the outside world.

Wu Chengyue was the first to be struck by it. Thankfully, he adjusted his own vibe in time and shielded himself from Lin Qiao’s vibe, which had already been weakened by the lake energy and her space.

The second one who sensed the vibe wasn’t one of the other level-seven zombies or superpower possessors in the base. Instead, it was Teng.

Teng and Wu Chengyue sensed the vibe almost simultaneously. The boy immediately opened his eyes. His mind wasn’t awake yet, but his body had already woken up. At first, he stared at the ceiling coldly, and his eyes slowly focused two seconds later.

“Eh?” Teng sat up from the bed, then rubbed his hairless head and started to carefully sense Lin Qiao’s vibe.

“Eh? Level-eight!” After spending a short while sensing the vibe, he had his eyes glowing. Then, he looked around and felt the air temperature outside.

It was almost dawn. How come Mama suddenly upgraded? Eh? Mama wasn’t in the bedroom…

Focusing his sensations again, Teng sensed only his father’s vibe from the bedroom, without his mother’s. The vibe that woke him up just now had already spread out of the bedroom.

At that time, some others in All Beings Base were also woken up by the vibe. The ones who sensed the vibe clearly the next were Qiu Lili and Lin Kui, who were both at level-seven.

Under the emperor’s vibe, they both instinctively wanted to yield. Fortunately, the vibe had already been weakened by the space, and it didn’t affect the two of them strongly. The level-six zombies shivered under the vibe, but then felt nothing special. Meanwhile, the zombies at and below level-five were frozen for a few seconds. They reacted in different ways, but had all figured out who the owner of that vibe was.

“Wow! Qiaoqiao has broken into level-eight! She is a zombie emperor now!” On the roof, Qiu Lili excitedly hugged the black panther and yelled out, almost jumping into the sky. She was so happy as if she was the one who just broke into a new level.

Lin Kui had to make an effort to pull his head out of her arms. After that, he shook his ears and glanced at her silently.

Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing were the last ones to feel the change in Lin Qiao’s vibe. The human beings below level-seven weren’t able to sense the vibe, but their bodies did automatically react to it. Some of them had their hearts racing slightly, and some felt danger.
