Hearing Xiao Licheng’s report, Wu Chengyue was surprised, “Are you saying that she has already become a Chief? The Chief of the new base?”
“It’s indeed like that now… I’m just curious about why Yuan Tianxing suddenly let her lead. She is from our Sea City Base… Well, she’s a zombie from our base. Has she grown further stronger?” Xiao Licheng crossed his arms and tried to figure it out.
Wu Chengyue was wearing a faint smile, yet the look in his eyes was rather mysterious. “She’s a zombie, but Yuan Tianxing and the others are actually willing to be under her leadership. There must be a secret.”
He was more and more curious about that female zombie and those Hades Base people.
“I think so too. They built a human base, yet are letting a zombie lead. I can’t understand,” Xiao Licheng nodded in agreement.
Wu Chengyue turned to Wu Yueling and said to her, “Ling Ling, your Zombie Mom is back. I will take you to her place and play with her when I finish my job here, okay?”
Wu Yueling was drawing on the side. Hearing his words, she immediately looked at him and nodded quickly, her eyes glowing. Watching Wu Yueling’s reaction, Xiao Licheng felt it to be miraculous.
He wondered what kind of magic Lu Tianyu the zombie had cast on the little Ling Ling to make the girl like her so much. While thinking about that, he couldn’t help but say, “What on earth did she do to Ling Ling? Ling Ling likes her so much!”
Wu Chengyue narrowed his eyes and responded with that faint smile, “I’m trying to find the answer to that question now… Hm, if you have any discoveries, tell me.”
After Xiao Licheng left, Wu Yueling crawled to Wu Chengyue’s side and held his hand before shaking it.
Wu Chengyue lowered his head to look at her and said, “Alright, I get it. I’ll take you to her soon. But, you have to wait until Daddy finishes his work here.”
Despite what he said, as a Chief, his work would never be finished.
Wu Yueling had forgotten that Lin Qiao promised to come to Sea City Base to visit her when she came back. The little girl was action-oriented, so her first reaction was to want to go and see Lin Qiao.
She couldn’t be fooled easily. Hearing Wu Chengyue’s words, she immediately pouted with discontentment and then popped her eyes to glare at her father.
God knew when he would finish his work!
Wu Chengyue smilingly put her on his knees and said, “Believe Daddy. It’ll be soon!”
Wu Yueling looked at him with doubts, then nodded slowly.
“Ling Ling, can you tell Daddy why you like her so much?” Wu Chengyue asked with curiosity.
Wu Yueling looked at him and thought for a moment. She didn’t know how to express her feelings. Did she like Zombie Mom because she offered her delicious strawberries, and she had that large rabbit, and she made her that pretty grass dragonfly, and that grass doll?
Hm… What she liked most was that grass doll!
Thinking about that, she immediately turned and took out the grass doll which was hidden under a couch cushion, then handed it to Wu Chengyue.
“Oh, did she bribe you with this?” Looking at that exquisitely woven grass doll, Wu Chengyue asked smilingly. But then, Wu Yueling put down the grass doll and picked up her little drawing board, before drawing a circle on it. After that, she added a pair of long ears on the circle, with two eyes.
“Ling Ling, did you draw a… rabbit?” Wu Chengyue curiously watched her finish the drawing.
Wu Yueling nodded heavily in response.
Looking at that round rabbit which she drew, Wu Chengyue smiled silently.
That afternoon, Xiao Licheng came back with the news about Long Yubai, “He sent people to Hidden Cloud City Base and Sky Fire Base once he went back. I guess he has informed them about the level-seven zombies in the South, as well as near Upper City Base.”
“South?” Wu Chengyue failed to understand it immediately.
“Miss Lu killed Yang Jianhua in the South. Long Yubai must have heard about it when he got back. He’d surely know that high-leveled zombies have shown up in Hades Base,” said Xiao Licheng.
Wu Chengyue nodded knowingly, “You’re right!” But soon, he erased the expression on his face and continued, “Level-seven zombie nuclei are highly tempting to the other bases, especially Hidden Cloud City Base and Sky Fire Base, which are located in the Southwest and Northwest. Those people have always been ambitious.”
“That’s right! I’ve also found out that Long Yubai has bribed some people in our base and bought quite some information about our base. We might be his next target,” Xiao Licheng handed all the files in his hands to Wu Chengyue while talking.
“Oh,” hearing that, Wu Chengyue laughed. His mouth corners curved slightly, but his eyes glowed with a cold light.
“Have you confirmed it? Does he really have that plan. He does have some ambition and courage.”
Xiao Licheng looked at him expressionlessly. He understood that the smile on Wu Chengyue’s face meant that he was a little angry.
“What are we going to do now? I have brought the few information traders under control. What are we gonna do with them?” He asked.
“Do they have powers?” Wu Chengyue asked.
“Yes. One level-five, three level-four,” Xiao Licheng nodded.
“Disable them and throw them out to feed zombies. Don’t you know that it’s one of our base rules?” Wu Chengyue looked at him with a faint smile.
“I get it,” Xiao Licheng nodded.
As he left, Wu Chengyue put his elbows on the desk as he crossed his fingers and rested his chin on them. His lip corners were still curving upward, but no smile could be seen in his eyes.
Sea City Base never invaded other bases, but that didn’t allow the other bases to invade it. The base had just lost a leader, and as the new leader, Xiao Yunlong was relatively weaker. But still, he was capable enough.
If Long Yubai were really targeting at his base, Wu Chengyue would make sure that he would be buried here.
…
On the other side, Lin Qiao spent a couple of hours to upgrade Xie Dong successfully. Only after he went ashore did she let go of that twisting, dark-green sphere of energy.
The energy sphere expanded suddenly like an exploding bomb. It even pushed Lin Qiao to a distance away, without doing her any harm though.
Xie Dong, who was putting on her clothes, saw the middle of the lake bulge suddenly, and then soon go back down. After that, the pressure could be sensed again.
Maybe because he had already upgraded to level-five, or his body actually contained quite some energy from the lake at that moment, he felt that the pressure was weaker than before. However, it still affected him pretty badly.
He hurriedly picked up his shirt and stepped backward for a few meters, then finally sighed in relief.
A while later, he saw Lin Qiao pop her head out of the water, and then swim toward the lakeside.
