Lin Feng and the others glanced at each other, then turned to Lin Qiao while thinking. After that, they nodded knowingly.

“I see...That’s wonderful! So, you’re like a detector, and you’ll know which mutant foods are edible and which aren’t?” Mrs. Lin said half-jokingly.

Lin Qiao raised her brows and responded with a faint smile, “I don’t mind you calling me that. But, it’s not the time to talk about that. I have a feeling that something is going wrong with Xiaolu.”

Lin Feng and Mr. Lin paused slightly, then turned to look at Lin Xiaolu confusedly. Neither of them detected anything abnormal.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Feng turned back to Lin Qiao and asked.?She unclasped her hands and walked over as she said, “Touch her head and see if she’s having a fever.”

Lin Feng turned back and reached out a hand to touch his daughter’s forehead. In the next instant, his face darkened slightly.?Seeing her son’s reaction, Mrs. Lin began worrying. “What?” She asked with concern.

“She’s a little hot,” said Lin Feng while looking at the asleep little girl. “How did you know?” He turned and asked Lin Qiao.?Hearing that, Mrs. Lin couldn’t remain sitting. She hurriedly stood up and walked to Lin Xiaolu. As she pushed away Lin Feng’s hand and touched the little girl herself, she found that Lin Xiaolu was really having a fever.

“Xiaolu? Xiaolu, wake up, Xiaolu!” She gently patted Lin Xiaolu’s face and tried to wake her up.?However, the latter made no reaction at all. She didn’t even move her eyelids.

“What…What happened to her?” Mrs. Lin said anxiously with a frown.

Long Qingying, who stood aside, now got closer and looked at Lin Qiao, then turned to Lin Xiaolu with both worry and confusion.

Lin Feng looked at Lin Xiaolu, then bent over to try waking her up, “Xiaolu? Xiaolu? Xiaolu, wake up! Look at Daddy!”

However, she still didn’t react.

Seeing that, the group of people all got anxious, constantly shaking her as they tried to wake her up.

Lin Qiao walked over and pulled Lin Feng away, “Stop shouting! She has fainted.”?Once she said that, both Lin Feng and Mrs. Lin turned to her with surprise and asked, “She has been healthy. How could she suddenly faint?”

“Water…water…Can’t your water heal people?” Mrs. Lin abruptly said to Lin Qiao.?The latter shook her head and said, “My water should be useless, because I think she’s triggering her power right now.”

Lin Feng and Mrs. Lin stared at her and said in one voice, “What did you say? Triggering her power?”

Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes to look at the energy inside Lin Xiaolu’s body, then nodded.?Mrs. Lin couldn’t believe this. “How can this happen? She’s so young. Can she possibly trigger a power?” She asked.

Some people triggered superpowers after the apocalypse, but none of them was a child. At least, no one had heard about any child who managed to trigger a superpower.

The look on Lin Feng’s face turned serious. If a child were triggering a superpower, he or she wouldn’t be able to get through the fever. Children weren’t as strong as adults, so the fever might hurt them.

Lin Qiao understood Lin Feng’s concern. “Lin Feng,” she said, “you take her into my space. I know how to control her body temperature temporarily.”

Lin Feng’s eyes glowed as he raised his head to look at Lin Qiao.?Meanwhile, Mrs. Lin asked with confusion, “Why do they have to enter your space? Can’t you bring out what you need from your space?”

Lin Qiao looked at her, then shook her head and said, “I can’t take it out. She has to come into my space.”

Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Qiao with hesitation, then turned to Lin Feng, waiting for him to make the decision. She wasn’t sure if the other should be trusted or not. Even though Lin Qiao had saved them, she would still worry about her son and granddaughter if they entered her space, as she wouldn’t be able to see them.

Lin Feng glanced at Lin Qiao with a frown, then turned to Mrs. Lin and said, “Mom, I trust her. We have no other choice right now. Xiaolu won’t be able to hold on for long if the fever continues.”

Mrs. Lin stared at him nervously as she opened her mouth, but didn’t say anything.

Lin Feng touched Lin Xiaolu’s head again, then found that during this short while, her body temperature had risen further.?He hurriedly lifted his daughter, then looked at Lin Qiao and asked, “Alright, what should I do?”

“Nothing, just hold her,” Lin Qiao pressed a hand on his shoulder and said.

After that, she disappeared from where she was along with Lin Feng and Lin Xiaolu, leaving Mrs. Lin and the others waiting in the room with anxious looks.

At this moment, Lin Wenwen and Cheng Wangxue came upstairs as well. They first looked around the room, but didn’t find Lin Xiaolu and Lin Feng.

“Eh? Where’s Lin Feng and Xiaolu? Mom, are you feeling unwell?” Cheng Wangxue first asked about her daughter and husband, then noticed the strange look on Mrs. Lin’s face, so she hurriedly asked the second question.

Lin Wenwen had caught the aroma of the soup, then found the pot on the table. As she prepared to check the soup, she suddenly heard Cheng Wangxue’s words.?She paused briefly, then turned to her mother and found her standing in the room with an anxious look. She didn’t know what had happened.

Mrs. Lin put her fists before her chest as she looked at Cheng Wangxue and Lin Wenwen and said, “Ah, Xiaolu suddenly had a fever and fainted. Lu Tianyu said that she’s going to trigger a power. And then, she brought Lin Feng and Xiaolu into her space. I don’t know what’s going to happen next.”

“What? Triggering a power?” Hearing that, the two had their expressions changed and Cheng Wangxue even yelled out.

Lin Wenwen looked at her mother with disbelief while saying, “How can Xiaolu suddenly trigger a power? She’s only seven! She’s too young! What should we do? When triggering the power, her body temperature will rise drastically. Even adults can be hurt by the fever! She…”

She was right. Only ten or twenty percent of all zombies could successfully trigger superpowers. As for human beings, only seventy percent of them were able to wake up from the fever and use their powers; the rest thirty percent would fail.

The ones who failed either had their brains damaged, or suffered a brain death and ended up in a vegetative state, or died.

For this reason, Mrs. Lin was worried so badly after hearing that Xiaolu was triggering a power.

Cheng Wangxue suddenly looked at Mrs. Lin with hope in her eyes as she said, “Lu Tianyu knows how to solve the problem, doesn’t she? Otherwise, why would she bring Xiao Lu and Lin Feng into her space?”

Mrs. Lin shook her head and responded with both helplessness and concern, “I’m not sure. She said she might can help…but not guarantee.”

Lin Wenwen brought Cheng Wangxue to the couch and made her sit down, then made her mother sit down as well. After that, she sighed and comforted them both, “Calm down, my brother is there! He’ll figure out a way to wake Xiaolu up.”

However, she found her own words not so convincing to even herself.
