Chapter 1385: The Cause of Reincarnation

The man’s words successfully made the one with the virus freeze. That was completely unexpected. He naively believed that as long as he broke the test tube, everyone in the base, and even some people outside the base, would become zombies.

“Tha-that’s impossible! How can it be limited? They didn’t tell us about that…” The man’s resolution started to stagger.

At that very moment, the water suddenly froze. The ice extended from the man’s feet to the rest of his body, and before he could react, he was entirely frozen. Huang Ming leaped down from the roof on the other side of the sewage stream and clapped his hands.

He possessed level-five ice power while the frozen man was merely a level-four wind power possessor. He wasn’t able to neutralize Huang Ming’s power, so he could only stand there like an ice statue.

Huang Ming walked to the man on the frozen water surface. The frozen man still had his hand, which was holding the test tube, raised. He walked up to the man and then took the test tube out of his hand.

The liquid in the tube was frozen as well. Huang Ming put it into an isolation box and handed it to someone else as he turned to the frozen man. He froze the man with fifty percent of his power, which would not kill the latter. As the virus was stored safely, he turned back to boost his power.

He put both hands on the man, whose body was covered merely in a thin, transparent layer of ice. However, following his movement, the ice quickly grew thick and white. Meanwhile, fear of death could be detected from the man’s eyes.

Next, Huang Ming pushed the man.

Crack… Bang! The ice statue fell and shattered into pieces. The man’s body fell apart without shedding even a drop of blood.

“Alright, the job is done.” Huang Ming walked to the side of the road as he waved a hand to melt the ice. The man’s body pieces sank into the sewage, being flushed away.

The four came up from the sewer, where a group of people was waiting for them.

“How did it go?” Xiao Yunlong and Meng Yue asked in one voice as the four came out.

Huang Ming responded to them with a gesture of ‘OK’.

Seeing that, Xiao Yunlong and the others sighed with relief, saying, “That’s more like it. Where’s the thing?”

Huang Ming glanced at the men behind him. A man who just got out of the sewer handed the virus box to him. He took it over and then handed it to Xiao Yunlong.

“It’s here. Where did Chief get the name list?” Huang Ming asked Xiao Yunlong with curiosity.

“He got it from his wife,” Xiao Yunlong shrugged and said. On hearing that, everyone present had comprehension on their faces.

“Our Chief is so lucky! He actually won the girl’s heart! How come no girl fancies me? My girl doesn’t need to be as pretty and strong as Chief Lu. I just want an ordinary girl!” Huang Ming’s good-looking face wore an envious look. Speaking of girls, he even had his eyes glowing, and he was almost drooling.

Xiao Yunlong slapped him on the back of his head and said, “Can you please erase that nasty look on your face? Look at yourself. Which girl would like someone with that kind of look on his face?”

Huang Ming suffered pain from that heavy slap, so he couldn’t help but glare at Xiao Yunlong with a grievance, “You’ve forgotten about your miserable days of being single, haven’t you? Do you still remember the days when you were pursuing Meng Yue desperately?”

Xiao Yunlong burst in proud laughter under Huang Ming’s sour glare, saying, “You just need a goal to make efforts for! Do you have someone that you want to be with? What are you complaining about if you don’t?”

Huang Ming did not know what to say. Indeed, there was no one that he wanted to be with.

“Eh, I wonder when can Wu actually get married to his future wife. Will he have to wait until his son is old enough to shop groceries on his own?” Xiao Yunlong gave a grin and then sighed helplessly.

“That’s his business. Why are you so impatient about it?” Meng Yue glanced at him and said.

Xiao Yunlong looked at her, staying silent.

All the moles in Sea City Base who carried the virus had been cleaned out. In All Beings Base, Lin Qiao was staying in her apartment, reading the materials roughly sorted by Yuan Tianxing and Lin Wenwen.

Some information about the underground creatures was indeed found from those materials. The information was collected by Professor Bai and his men years ago in the underground realm. What Professor Bai saw in the underground world back then was different from what Lin Qiao had seen.

Teng crawled over. Seeing his mother reading the files with a frown, the boy couldn’t help but ask, “Mama, have you found anything?”

Lin Qiao turned to look at him and asked, “Teng, do you know why the underground world became like this?”

Teng looked at her with confusion, saying, “How am I supposed to know? I’m not God.”

Lin Qiao scanned the boy’s tiny body with her eyes, saying, “But you seem to know everything about me. Even I don’t know as much as you do.”

“I don’t know why I know,” Teng looked at her, still with confusion. “I can feel many things about you. I could feel your body changing… I was conscious when you died.”

After saying the last few words, he dropped his head. Back then, he watched his Mama detonate herself. Lin Qiao’s hatred and despair stimulated and urged him to help her, but he wasn’t able to do anything to ease her pain.

He hated himself so much for being unable to help. When he sensed his Mama’s despair and her strong desire to survive, he suddenly felt that something in his heart break, and then he sensed some kind of force wrapping up his Mama and himself.

After that, Lin Qiao came back from death to life together with him. He instinctively tried to help her, and as a result, she woke up in a fresh zombie body. Meanwhile, he himself woke up in the space a while after that.

The space was actually generated by Teng’s superpower, which was buried inside him when he was still in Lin Qiao’s uterus. He created the space under the stimulation coming from her emotions. Therefore, when he was still in the space, he had full control of the space while she was only partially in control of it.

Later on, he set a trap for his mother and allowed her to give birth to him and handed her the right to control the space fully later on. That was why she felt finally in complete control of the space after giving birth to her son.

On hearing what the boy said, Lin Qiao paused briefly and gawked at the boy, seemingly stunned.
