He came close to the zombie lady with a strong curiosity in the first place. However, before his old questions were answered, new ones had emerged.
And now, she had sneaked away!
Lu Tianyu used to be a woman hated by everyone. But, since she became a zombie, she was less flamboyant, had a low sense of presence, and disappeared all the time.
She was like a totally different person!
Moreover, she was traceless. With a little carelessness, Wu Chengyue let her sneak away again.
He looked at Wu Yueling and suddenly realized that that zombie lady seemed to be the only cure of his daughter’s illness. Wu Yueling’s emotion swung drastically because of her. She could easily turn upset, but once she saw her, the little girl would be happy.
Wu Chengyue used to be nervous every time Wu Yueling was down.
When Ling Ling’s illness was worse, she was not only down in spirit, but also would hurt herself. Sometimes, she even refused to communicate with her father. No one could get close to her, because once someone tried to approach her, she would burst in screams immediately, and even hit her head on the wall. In the worst case, she would directly fall unconscious.
Later on, Doctor Liang found Moli, who was a possessor of spirit power, and asked her to comfort Ling Ling.
Last time when Ling Ling was taken away by Lu Tianyu, he was so worried that the girl might be stimulated and her illness might attack. So back then, he even wanted to strike that woman straight to death with lightning, no matter who she was.
However, when he brought Ling Ling back from the zombie lady, he was surprised to find that Ling Ling was in a very good condition.
He also found a new, protective type of energy inside Ling Ling’s body.
He didn’t know what the zombie lady had done to Ling Ling, so he was curious about her the whole time.
That night, Xiao Licheng received a special message, so he immediately went to Wu Chengyue’s room. “Chief, the leader of Earth Dragon Base and a large troop of his people suddenly stationed five miles away from our base, and never talked to our people,” he held a piece of paper and said to Wu Chengyue.
Hearing Earth Dragon Base’s name, Wu Chengyue was puzzled for a second.
“The leader of Earth Dragon Base? Long Yubai? Why did he suddenly come to East China? What did he come for? Since he’s stationed around our base without informing us, has Zou taken any action yet?”
“Chief Zou prepares to wait for another night. If Long Yubai still doesn’t send a man to inform our people why he’s there by tomorrow, he will send someone to warn him,” said Xiao Licheng.
Wu Chengyue nodded, “Em, I think Zou is right. But, I heard that Long Yubai is a scheming person. I guess he does want something from us, and I feel that he’s up to no good.”
“What does he want? Didn’t he just conquer Hades Base? Is Sea City Base his next target?” Xiao Licheng thought for a moment and then said uncertainly.
A bright gleam of light flashed across Wu Chengyue’s slender eyes as he said smilingly, “If he has such a great ambition, I’d like to see if he has that kind of ability too.”
Xiao Licheng responded with disbelief, “Does he really have that kind of plan? No way! That’s way too greedy! Isn’t Hades Base enough for him?”
“An ambitious man will want to swallow the entire world. He has only swallowed one single base. It’s nothing for him,” Wu Chengyue glanced at Xiao Licheng with a smile.
“So… he does want our base, doesn’t he? With his current power?” Xiao Licheng looked at Wu Chengyue with surprise, as the latter actually tended to believe his guess.
“I don’t know him well, but judging by what he had done, I think that if I were him, I’d give it a try. If I have the ambition but not the power, I’d figure out a way to attain the power. You see, didn’t he have to join hands with other bases to destroy the Hades Base? Do you think Earth Dragon Base is strong enough to break Hades Base, which was slightly stronger?” Wu Chengyue said.
“Also, his first step was made too successfully. That’s why he seems so confident about his next step,” Xiao Licheng followed Wu Chengyue’s thoughts and added.
“Indeed!” Wu Chengyue nodded, “But, I guess that even if he does have his eyes on our base, he won’t take action so soon. After all, he still needs to find out exactly how strong we are.”
Xiao Licheng nodded and said, “If what you said is true, he came to our place with no good intentions indeed.”
Wu Chengyue waved a hand and said, “Alright, let’s see what he’ll do tonight. If he keeps staying there without talking to Zou, we’ll warn him on our way back tomorrow.”
As Xiao Licheng turned and left, Wu Chengyue’s face darkened.
He had just gotten rid of the internal enemy not long ago. Did he need to face enemies from the outside already? This was really a year of troubles for Sea City Base. The strength of the base hadn’t gone to a higher level yet. On the contrary, with Yang Chao’s death, the overall power of the base had actually declined.
Wu Chengyue suddenly felt a storm was going to arrive at his base.
…
Next morning, Wu Chengyue and Wu Yueling got up from the bed. He watched her learn to freshen up, then carried her back to the bed to change clothes. Right at that moment, someone knocked on his door.
Wu Yueling had already finished wearing pants. While Wu Chengyue was putting her coat on her, he turned to the door and said, “Come in.”
The door was immediately opened and Xiao Licheng walked in. He closed the door from the inside and then walked to the living room, looking at Wu Chengyue.
“Chief, Long Yubai moved. He left last night,” he said.
“Eh? He left? Where to?” Wu Chengyue dressed his daughter, then looked at Xiao Licheng with surprise. While asking the question, he carried Wu Yueling out of the bedroom.
“Eh… Over here, to Hangzhou City. They’re in Jianggan District now, the edge of the city. They’ve stationed there.” The look in Xiao Licheng’s eyes was a little strange as he responded, “According to the message I’ve received, his people had sneaked into our base last night to try to find out the whereabouts of Deputy Chief Yuan and his people. And… he seems to be especially interested in you…”
Xiao Licheng couldn’t even finish his words. By ‘interested in’, he meant something special.
Many people had heard that Long Yubai from the Earth Dragon Base was actually a gay, and had no interest in women at all. In his eyes, even the prettiest woman was like a piece of duster cloth. However, he was interested in all kinds of men.
So, when Xiao Licheng heard his subordinates say that Long Yubai’s people had asked some detailed questions about Wu Chengyue, he immediately made that kind of guess. So now, he was looking at Wu Chengyue with… sympathy.
Hearing that, Wu Chengyue didn’t respond.
