Lu Tianyi smiled proudly and wickedly at that zombie.
“Awoo!” The little tiger was still struggling in his arms.
“Roar!” Seeing the look on Lu Tianyi’s face, the zombie bared its teeth and roared at him angrily.
“Enough! He’s like an eight or nine years old boy. How can you fight him? You’re an adult!” Lin Qiao turned and gave Lu Tianyi a glance.
The naughty boy should learn a lesson too!
Lu Tianyi shrugged to her and turned his face away.
“Also, that day, you were wrong. The man who killed you wasn’t a level-seven wind-power possessor. He’s actually at level-eight. You guys survived for so long that night because he didn’t use his full power. I guess he let Yan Fangyu go deliberately. Only you two might have been killed by him conveniently,” Lin Qiao said to him with a serious look. While speaking, she waved a hand toward the level-four zombie and signaled for him to leave, then began walking into the small building.
Lu Tianyi’s expression froze on his face. Then, he popped his eyes in shock and followed Lin Qiao into the building.
“Do you know about Yan Fangyu?” Lin Qiao sat on the couch and asked him.
Lu Tianyi nodded.
She was a Deputy Chief in the base, but both him and Kong Qingming knew what kind of person she really was. She looked nice, but often did dirty things in the dark. Therefore, neither of them liked her.
“Think about it. That woman was caught stealing by us, and was attacked on her way back. What would she think? Besides, the attacker certainly planned to kill everyone else in that car but her, then make her run back to her base. In that way, she’d hate us even more. As long as she’s in Sea City Base, the relationship between us and that base might be affected by her,” Lin Qiao explained to him.
Clearly, the attacker was targeting the Upper City Base. Lu Tianyi had thought of that too.
Who was that person? Why was he targeting at Upper City Base?
“Oh, you might not know who he is. Earlier on, I sent Lili and Yun Meng after him. The two of them found that he’s one of the leaders of the Hidden Cloud Base, named Lu Zhuofeng,” Lin Qiao solved Lu Tianyi’s puzzle.
Lu Zhuofeng! Wasn’t he a leader? Why would he do anything like that!
Lu Tianyi looked at Lin Qiao with disbelief. Which base leader would waste time on insignificant people like him? What was Lu Zhuofeng thinking?
“Hehe, you guessed right! Lu Zhuofeng is that kind of a man. He likes to get involved in such small things when he has time. And, I guess he did it to help Long Yubai. Perhaps, Long Yubai has promised him something attractive. There’s no reason for Long Yubai to give up on trying to destroy us after all,” Lin Qiao looked at him and said.
‘So that’s how it is!’ Lu Tianyi finally nodded knowingly.
At that point, Viney, who was inside Lin Qiao’s belly, had gotten inpatient— ‘Mama, Mama, just go out! Viney wants to play with the little one!’
Lin Qiao lowered her head as she looked at her belly and spent a moment sensing the outside. Then, she said, “Hm, it’s time to go out. There’re people waiting for us out there.”
‘What?’
Lu Tianyi clearly felt that Lin Qiao didn’t say those words to him, but who was she talking to? There was no one else here!
Lin Qiao raised her head and said to him, “I’ll go and get you a few buckets of water. You stay here and find a piece of land to plant these seeds.”
After saying that, she stood up and walked out of the building, then went to the lakeside with two large buckets. Soon, she filled both buckets, but didn’t drag them straight back to the small building. Instead, she brought the buckets to three meters from the lake, then turned to look at that level-four zombie who was still stealthily hiding behind the wall.
‘This one is still unwilling to give up. Why is it so sneaky? I think I need to find him some job!’ Lin Qiao stared at that smart zombie who looked like a boy.
The zombie gave a start and immediately shrank back like a mouse because he accidentally made eye contact with Lin Qiao.
“Why are you hiding? Get over here!” Lin Qiao yelled at him.
Lu Tianyi put down the little tiger, then walked out and stood by the door. He glanced backward and saw that smart zombie carefully walk out from behind the wall, toward Lin Qiao.
Lu Tianyi followed behind him. Soon, they both walked up to Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao pointed at the two buckets of water and said, “Take these. I think these two buckets of water can last you for a couple of days.”
While speaking, she glanced at Lu Tianyi, who came over and picked up one bucket of water before carrying it to the vegetable field. In the past few days, he cleaned up the vegetable field and the strawberry field, as he had nothing else to do.
The smart zombie picked up another bucket of water and followed behind Lu Tianyi. He wanted very much to kick the latter, but didn’t dare to do it.
After all, the boss was watching him from behind.
Abruptly, Lu Tianyi stopped moving, then turned and looked at Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao was walking behind him. Sensing his gaze, she said, “Ah, you want to ask about Kong Qingming, don’t you? He’s been sent back to Sea City Base. He’s injured severely, but not dead. I’ve given him the water from my lake, so he’ll be fine.”
Hearing that, Lu Tianyi sighed with relief.
Lin Qiao looked at him, wanting to say something else. But suddenly, she paused and twirled to look at the lake.
She saw Lin Feng slowly walking up from the lake.
Seeing his bared upper body, Lin Qiao quietly turned back and continued to Lu Tianyi, “You guys can’t always be together anymore.”
Lu Tianyi nodded carelessly. He didn’t care if he could be together with Kong Qingming or not. He only wanted the latter to be fine.
At that moment, Lin Qiao abruptly crossed her arms before her chest, then raised a hand to scratch her chin while asking, “You two are such good friends. Are you in love?”
“Pah!” Lu Tianyi immediately twirled to look at her, his eyes popped in shock.
‘Damn! I like women, not men! Can’t you please not talk nonsense!’
“Alright, alright! I get it, you’re not in love with him, I get it! Why are you getting so emotional? Women are rare in this post-apocalyptic era. It would be fine even if you two decided to build a family together!” Seeing his reaction, Lin Qiao wanted to laugh. Then, she sighed and continued, “But, that can’t happen now. You’ve become a zombie. You can’t be like Chen Yuting and his wife, can you? They often see each other, but don’t dare to touch each other. I think they can touch each other though. As long as they don’t kiss or have sex or do anything else like that… I think they’ll be fine!”
“Roar!” ‘You may as well shut up!’
As she was getting further and further away from the topic, Lu Tianyi couldn’t help but give her a shout. Then, he found that he had just uttered a strange roar.
“Alright…” Lin Qiao responded blandly. Then, she turned to look at Lin Feng, who had put on his pants, and was walking toward her while putting on his shirt.
“How do you feel? Do you feel anything wrong?” Lin Qiao asked Lin Feng.
“No. It’s just that the energy in my nucleus is very unstable,” Lin Feng walked over and shook his head toward her, then nodded at Lu Tianyi.
