Zombie Sister Strategy

Wu Chengyue gave Duan Juan a glance, feeling that she might have something important to say to the zombie lady. So, he stepped out of the office. Only after watching him leave and conveniently close the door did Lin Qiao turn to Duan Juan and say, “Did you hear something from Xie Dong?”

A couple of days ago, Xie Dong left for Sky Fire Base himself. Li Zhengye would certainly make a move, as he had already started to suspect Lin Qiao for what she really was. She had learned all about it from Ye Yingyue.

Duan Juan nodded and said, “Yes. Li Zhengye is doing experiments on the zombie virus indeed. He has been secretly kidnapping superpower possessors, some of whom died. Recently, some corpses were shipped out of his base in secret. Those people had turned into zombies before death.”

Hearing that, Lin Qiao stayed silent as a cold look showed up in her eyes.

Why was Li Zhengye doing that kind of experiments? He turned human beings into zombies, and then what?

“Those corpses should be failed products. We don’t know if he ever succeeded,” Lin Qiao thought for a moment and then asked, “Was anything about me heard from Sky Fire Base?”

Duan Juan shook her head.

“So, Li Zhengye hasn’t made a move about that, has he?” While speaking, Lin Qiao abruptly stood up and walked toward the door.

“Bring those files to Yuan Tianxing and call a meeting this afternoon.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

She needed to go to Sky Fire Base right now to solve the problem. She could not stop worrying before she had confirmed that Li Zhengye hadn’t spread the word about her true nature.

Also, who was that mysterious man?

At 2 pm, Lin Qiao showed up in the conference room, with everybody else already there.

“About those underground creatures, I’ve confirmed that the level-eight one was injured severely by Wu Chengyue’s lightning power before. He needs time to rest and heal, so he won’t lead the herd to attack out base again. If my plan works, we won’t need to worry about them ever again,” Lin Qiao sat in her seat as she looked at the others and said.

The others looked at her, waiting for the rest of her speech.

“So, I will use this span of time to make a trip to Sky Fire Base. There’s something that needs to be figured out and solved as soon as possible. While I’m gone, our two Deputy Chiefs will be managing the base as always. I will leave tomorrow.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

After the meeting, Lin Qiao showed up at Lin Feng’s door and said to Teng, who was lying on the couch in the living room, “Have you had fun these days?”

Seeing Lin Qiao, Teng immediately sat up and crossed his legs, blinking his eyes as he looked at his mother, “Yes.”

Lin Qiao walked in and scooped the boy up, then said to Cheng Wangxue, “I’m taking him home now. Wu Chengyue will take him back to Sea City Base tomorrow.”

Standing beside her, Cheng Wangxue smiled and said, “Back to Sea City Base again? In fact, you can leave him with us. Chief Wu is busy too, isn’t he? Besides, Teng is a good boy. He and Xiaolu can keep each other company. It’ll be nice.”

Lin Qiao shook her head as she smiled at Cheng Wangxue and said, “Wu Chengyue is his father. As long as he stays in his base, he should take care of the kid, no matter how busy he is. That’s his duty.”

Cheng Wangxue looked at her as she sighed and said, “Before, you didn’t want the kid to be with him at all. Now you’ve changed your mind…”

Lin Qiao only smiled silently.

She brought Teng back to Base Number Two, to where she lived. But before arriving, she found that her door was open. Wu Yueling ran out and stood by the door, looking at her happily.

Lin Qiao pressed her lips together. Once again, Wu Chengyue came to her place without invitation. However, she had gotten used to that.

“You’re home. I’m preparing the dinner. It’ll take a while for Teng’s porridge to be ready,” Wu Chengyue walked out of the kitchen and said to Lin Qiao. Meanwhile, she put Teng on the couch and glanced at him, then turned and walked into the bathroom.

Wu Chengyue walked over and sat down beside Teng, then whispered to the boy, “Did she spank you?”

Teng shook his head.

Wu Chengyue glanced at the bathroom door and said, “She’s not angry anymore? Emm, you really are her son. She loves you.”

Teng rolled his eyes and said, “Do you want her to spank me? Will that make you happy?”

Wu Chengyue smilingly rubbed the boy’s head and said, “No. I just think that her spanking you is what should be happening.” After saying that, he stood up and walked back into the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Wu Yueling came to Teng’s side and rubbed his head as well, then gave him a smile.

Lin Qiao walked into the bathroom and filled the tub with her lake water, then took a bath to wash off the earthy smell on her body before putting on a bathrobe and coming out. After that, she leaned against the kitchen door and watched Wu Chengyue prepare the food.

“When will you leave tomorrow?” Wu Chengyue stood straight beside the stove. While stirring the porridge in the pot, he looked at the pot expressionlessly and asked her.

“Six in the morning,” Lin Qiao answered the question blandly, then said, “Are you gonna stay here for the night?”

Shen Yujen told her that Wu Chengyue was in the underground creatures’ territory there days too, and arrived at the base an hour before she did. As he had come to her place already, she guessed that he did not plan to go to where he always stayed.

Wu Chengyue turned and looked at her, then curved his lips in a faint smile and asked, “Am I not welcome?”

Before, he never stayed in her place for the night.

Lin Qiao spent a few seconds looking deep into his eyes, then turned and responded blandly, “Whatever you want. Clean the guest room yourself.” After all, she had stayed in his place for quite a few times. Letting him stay in hers once was not a big deal.

Wu Chengyue had his eyes glowing, then smiled a bigger smile.

“Eh? Can Daddy stay here tonight?” Teng looked at Lin Qiao, who was walking toward her bedroom, and said with surprise. He thought Lin Qiao would kick Wu Chengyue out.

Wu Yueling was also happy, looking at Lin Qiao with a pair of sparkling eyes. She was allowed to sleep in Lin Qiao’s place tonight!

Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “Tell him to leave if you don’t want him to stay here.”

“I won’t do that,” Teng rolled his eyes and said.

Lin Qiao changed into leisurewear in her bedroom, then came out and sat down beside Teng, looking at the boy.

“What?” Teng raised his head with confusion.

She reached out a hand and pinched his ear as she said, “What? Do you think that I’m not gonna talk to you about what you’ve done? Of course, I won’t make you pay for it! But come on, tell me why you did it. Let’s talk!”

Having his ear twisted by his mother, Teng moaned in pain. “Ouch! It hurts! Be gentle, gentle…” He didn’t dare to scream though.

Lin Qiao looked at him coldly and said, “Tell me why you fed him your blood that night? Even if he did have some kind of problem, he wouldn’t need your blood. Do you know how dangerous your blood can be? What if you didn’t help him but hurt him? Have you thought about that kind of consequence?”
