Zombie Sister Strategy

“No! No! No… Chief Wu, you can’t listen to them! I didn’t do it… I did nothing wrong! Nothing!” Yan Fangyu panicked. While screaming, she unwittingly changed her words into ‘I did nothing wrong’.

“Alright. You better shut your mouth if you want to stay alive and go back with me,” Wu Chengyue said to her in a bland tone. Yan Fangyu instantly fell into silence, just gazing at him.

Wu Chengyue pushed the box to Qiu Lili, then nodded at her. The latter immediately took it back, then walked to the door and handed it to Duan Juan. Duan Juan took over the box, then turned and left.

“Alright, I’m gonna put forward my condition directly. Last night, she entered this place without permission. So, if she leaks any intelligence about our base in the future, I’ll still put her in trouble. She broke into my conference room and killed one of my soldiers with fire power… For these two crimes, I’m gonna ask you to give me five level-six zombie nuclei, or the nuclei at other levels with equivalent value, along with… a batch of seeds.” Lin Qiao glanced at the stunned Yan Fangyu, then turned back to Wu Chengyue and named her price.

Everybody knew what zombie nuclei were, and what equivalent value meant. But, seeds?

The people on the scene failed to understand her meaning immediately.

Wu Chengyue did understand Lin Qiao though. He nodded and said, “I can give some seeds, but not many. I am able to give you the seeds of ten kinds of plants, fifty seeds of each kind. As for zombie nuclei…”

He knew that Lin Qiao wanted the seeds of edible crops and vegetables. Those kinds of seeds had become very precious since the apocalypse. Sea City Base had been accumulating seeds for five years, but still, they didn’t have too many in stock. Those seeds had been consumed batch by batch. Only a slight amount of every batch was saved as backup.

Normally, no base would lend out their seeds.

Wu Chengyue promised to give seeds to Lin Qiao, but the zombie nuclei that she asked for were a little difficult.

“Aren’t five nuclei too many?” Wu Chengyue turned to look at Yan Fangyu. Judging by the look in his eyes, he probably felt that she wasn’t worth five level-six zombie nuclei.

“Five level-six zombie nuclei! Why don’t you just go out and rob people!” At that moment, Yan Fangyu came back to her senses and screamed at Lin Qiao.

Meanwhile, she was actually glad, because she was considered worth five level-six zombie nuclei. However, she didn’t want Wu Chengyue to accept Lin Qiao’s condition.

Lin Qiao spread her hands and said lazily, “Five level-six zombie nuclei. If you can get level-seven nuclei, I’ll take one!”

Wu Chengyue didn’t know what to say. ‘Damn! Where can I find a level-seven zombie nucleus for you? Do you want me to dig yours out?’ he shouted in his head.

“Hah…” Qiu Lili, who was standing by Lin Qiao’s side, abruptly turned her face away as she covered her mouth and chuckled. The others all had their mouth corners, eye corners, or eyebrows twitching, as they were trying pretty hard to keep themselves from laughing out loud.

That was a solemn occasion, so those people didn’t dare to laugh.

Once Qiu Lili laughed, the others all turned their heads away and raised their hands to cover their mouths.

“Hah…”

“Hehe…”

“Eh-hem…”

Wu Chengyue felt so weirdly awkward.

“Oi, you guys, be serious! Why are you laughing?” Lin Qiao glanced at those people, then knocked on the table to remind them to be serious. Hearing her, those people hurriedly stopped laughing.

“We don’t have level-seven nuclei. I’ll just give you five level-six zombie nuclei as you asked for. My people will deliver them to you.” Wu Chengyue could barely maintain the smile on his face. The look on his face showed that he was suffering a serious heartburn.

Five level-six zombie nuclei! His base had only collected less than ten of them so far!

“No! You can’t give her! Chief Wu! Those are five level-six zombie nuclei!” Yan Fangyu got anxious. She didn’t expect him to really agree to give them five level-six zombie nuclei.

“No? You can also give us your life,” Lin Qiao said to her with a smile.

“You! You’re so evil!” Yan Fangyu clenched her teeth and cursed. If the two soldiers hadn’t been pressing her down, she would have pounced on Lin Qiao and bitten her.

“Deal! When the nuclei are delivered to me, you’ll be able to leave with her,” Lin Qiao nodded at Wu Chengyue.

“Deal!” Wu Chengyue sighed with a sulky face.

Lin Qiao then said to Qiu Lili, “Take her back to her room and keep an eye on her.”

“Sure!” Qiu Lili nodded. While heading toward the door, she ordered the two soldiers who had been holding Yan Fangyu down, “Let’s go!”

“Remember this!” Yan Fangyu glared at Lin Qiao viciously, as if she wanted to eat her.

“Hm, I WILL remember this,” Lin Qiao shrugged.

After watching the two soldiers drag Yan Fangyu away, Wu Chengyue said to Wu Yueling, who was on Lin Qiao’s knees, “Alright Ling Ling, come to Daddy!”

But, Wu Yueling turned her body and showed her back to her father, who was left not knowing what to say.

“Since we’ve achieved an agreement, Chief Wu, you can go to your room and get some rest. It’s the same room that you stayed at last time. I think you can just show yourself there.” Lin Qiao smiled at Wu Chengyue and said.

Wu Chengyue suddenly felt embarrassed. “Aren’t you a little impolite? Am I a stranger to you?”

‘What an awful attitude!’ Wu Chengyue complained silently.

He was unhappy because of Lin Qiao’s cold attitude, and the fact that she was luring his Ling Ling away!

“Ling Ling, let’s go! I’ll take you to play with Xiaolu and Tongtong,” Lin Qiao ignored him and said to Wu Yueling, who nodded at her happily.

Lin Qiao put her down to the ground, then stood up. She held her hand and walked out of the conference room, as if the other people weren’t there.

As she left, all Upper City Base people walked away.

“Chief Wu, you’re familiar with this place, so make yourself home. I still have work to do, so I’m gonna take off,” Yuan Tianxing stood up smilingly and said to Wu Chengyue. After saying that, he turned and left with a smiling face.

Chen Yuting watched the others leave, then asked Wu Chengyue, “Why do I feel that Ling Ling is… pretty close with Miss. Lu?”

“Ah, that little traitor!” Wu Chengyue sighed. Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked Chen Yuting, “What happened to that female zombie? Why did her vibe grow so much stronger after her trip to the South?”

Hearing that, Chen Yuting had his expression turn weird.

“Eh, I heard that she has restored her memory! Those Hades Base people have changed their attitudes toward her largely. I wasn’t there that day, so I’ve only heard a little about it. It’s said that Miss. Lu is possessed by the leader of Hades Base,” Chen Yuting said confusedly while wearing a frown.
