“How can it be that simple? Even the air in my space contains energy, so plants will absorb the energy and grow crazily in there,” Lin Qiao waved a hand, then glanced at Lin Wenwen and said, “She’s losing it, isn’t she? How long does she normally maintain the stance for?”

“Ah,” Long Qingying responded, “If no one disturbs her, she can make fifty… minutes.”

Before she finished, Lin Wenwen stood straight.

“Phew… not yet fifty minutes! Wow! I want some strawberries!” Lin Wenwen stood there and rested for a short while, then dragged her limp legs over and picked up a strawberry, going to the bathroom to wash it.

“How’re your combat skills now? How many people can you fight at one time?” Lin Qiao sat on the couch and asked Lin Wenwen.

“Em… I have no idea. I haven’t done actual combat yet,” Lin Wenwen shook her head and replied.

“For low-level zombies, hm, I think she can deal with two or three. More than three should be a little difficult for her. That’ll depend on her reaction capacity. As for human commoners, she can fight one or two men,” Long Qingying stood beside Lin Qiao and answered the question.

Lin Qiao looked at Lin Wenwen and said while scratching her chin, “Wenwen’s reaction capacity isn’t good…”

Lin Wenwen looked at her with a sulky face, but didn’t know how to respond. The latter was right; her reaction capacity was not good indeed.

“So, Wenwen, you need to do some actual combat to improve your reaction capacity,” Lin Qiao said to Lin Wenwen with a serious tone.

“Eh?” Lin Wenwen failed to understand her meaning immediately.

Was she going to let her fight for real? She had never done that before? Was she planning to arrange a few training partners for her?

“Eh? Chief, are you gonna send Wenwen out for a mission?” Long Qingying made a different guess.

“Yes, Qingying is right,” Lin Qiao smiled faintly as she pointed at Long Qingying.

“Huh? You want me to go out with you?” Lin Wenwen was a little stunned.

She was never sent out of the base to carry out a mission before, so she thought that Lin Qiao would never do that. So, when she heard what the latter just said, she couldn’t react for a moment

“This time, you ran all the way here from Hades Base with Lin Feng and the others. You’ve experienced all kinds of dangers on that journey, so I guess you have nothing to be afraid of now, right?” Lin Qiao said to Lin Wenwen. After a brief pause, she continued, “If you don’t fight those real zombies, you’ll never understand them. In order to win, you have to know your enemies. Isn’t that right?”

Lin Wenwen fell into silence and didn’t say anything. Before, she would have disagreed, because she believed that Lin Feng, Lin Hao, and the others should be handling those dangerous things, as they were all stronger than her.

However, Lin Wenwen wasn’t thinking that way now. She was thinking about what Lin Qiao had said.

Since she and her family ran out of Hades Base, they had encountered lots of dangers indeed. Lin Feng, Lin Hao and some soldiers had been protecting her and Mrs. Lin. Most of those soldiers had died, and only Lu Junjie and the other few survived.

In fact, some of those soldiers would have survived too if they didn’t need to protect her, Mrs. Lin, and Lin Xiaolu, who were defenseless.

“Nothing can improve you faster than real combat. Your potential can only be triggered under dangerous situations. Do you understand me?” Lin Qiao looked at her and said.

“I get it,” Lin Wenwen nodded. She had thought that through already.

“I overprotected you before. I have spoiled you, and that could have cost your life. I almost forgot about that. We live in the post-apocalyptic era after all. If you don’t learn to protect yourself, you’ll die sooner or later,” Lin Qiao sighed, glanced at Lin Wenwen repentantly, and then dropped her eyes.

“No, it’s not your fault. It’s actually my fault. If I had realized that earlier, I would have done better. Sister, it has nothing to do with you,” Lin Wenwen looked at Lin Qiao and said. She didn’t blame her at all.

She continued, “I am willing to go out and fight zombies. In fact, I also want to find out where my limit lies.”

“Em, we’re short-handed right now. Lin Feng and Lin Hao will leave the base to collect supplies. They can’t bring too many people out. You have a space too, so you’ll be serving as movable storage. I’m going to let Qingying act together with you. You two can be a group. I think it’ll be fine,” Lin Qiao looked at both of them and said.

Long Qingying didn’t say a word, just nodded expressionlessly.

“I’m fine with it!” Lin Wenwen opened her eyes wide, blinking as she seemed to be a little excited. Her neatly cut short hair curled naughtily, making her look clean and adorable.

Lin Qiao raised her head to look at Lin Wenwen. In fact, she already had strong muscles now. She had been training herself for such a long time, and the results were shown since long ago. Maybe because she had gained some strength and combat skills, her vibe was completely different from before.

She was no longer that gentle and quiet girl who had long and straight hair. Instead, she looked young and energetic now. Even though she was not a little girl anymore, she did have a young face.

“Good! You go and tell Lin Feng yourselves. Also, take these strawberries to the kitchen and find a way to keep them fresh, then give them to the others tomorrow,” Lin Qiao pointed at those strawberries on the table, then stood up and headed toward the door.

“Alright,” Lin Wenwen nodded.

…

At noontime the next day, Lin Feng came to the sweetcorn field to look for Lin Qiao.

“Did you let Wenwen go out to collect supplies with us?” He stood by Lin Qiao’s side and asked.

Lin Qiao was catching the bugs on the sweet potato plant near a sweetcorn plant. Hearing his question, she responded, “Yeah, I told her to do that. What’s wrong?”

Lin Feng frowned and replied in disagreement, “She might be a hindrance. We’ll need to spare attention for her. Also, it’s too dangerous for her. She has no experience.”

“I let Qingying form a group with her. She won’t affect you. We are short-handed now, but there’re so many works to do. You’re going out to collect supplies, so you need at least one space-powered person with you. Besides, if we don’t let her learn to protect herself, she’ll never improve. We can protect her, but it’s better for her to protect herself,” Lin Qiao said to Lin Feng calmly and carelessly.

“She herself has agreed to do it. She’s willing to do that, and, isn’t it a good thing? Our base can’t afford any idlers now.”

“Well… Alright,” Lin Feng couldn’t win the argument. Even though he still disagreed on the inside, he could only accept it.

After all, Lin Qiao was right from whichever angle one looked at it.
