Wu Chengyue didn’t say anything else, and Shen Yujen stayed silent as well, focusing on the driving. Under the former’s gaze, Lin Qiao wanted to get back to the base right now and then split up with him.
He had his eyes fixed on her all the time. He was even more clingy than earlier when he was out of control! Lin Qiao could even detect the delight and pride from his gaze. In the small space in the car, his vibe was enlarged many times over.
Lin Qiao had no such feelings before. She felt nothing about him, only a little annoyance. But now, her feelings had changed, and she turned more sensitive to what he did. Under Wu Chengyue’s piercing eyes, she had no choice but to pretend to be calm, even though she was feeling utterly uncomfortable.
Back in the base, Wu Chengyue dragged Lin Qiao to the hospital. He planned to ask Lin Hao to give the zombie lady a check-up after checking for Ling Ling’s condition. In front of many people, he held Lin Qiao’s hand while walking. She intended to shake herself free, yet he held her very tight and disabled her from doing that.
With a frown, she looked at him and said, “Can you please not hold my hand? I know how to walk by myself.”
Wu Chengyue turned and said to her smilingly, “You know how to walk, but you wouldn’t walk with me if I were not holding you.”
Lin Qiao was sitting in the same car with him all the way, under his gaze. She wanted to run away from him a long time ago. Finally, she was back in the base, and could split up with him. How could she possibly go with him now?
“You don’t need to do this. I still have work to do. Chief Wu, I guess you are eagerly curious about Ling Ling’s condition. Go and see her. I’ll give you two some father-and-daughter time alone,” said Lin Qiao coldly. She even wanted to wave him off.
‘Go, go! Don’t let me see you again!’ she said in her head.
Seeing the cold look on her face, Wu Chengyue gave a faint smile. He spent a few seconds looking at her quietly, then thought for a second and decided not to force her.
“Alright, then,” he nodded and said, reluctantly letting go of her hand. Her skin was smooth, soft and elastic like the skin of a healthy human being, but cold.
Lin Qiao pulled back her hand, then turned and got back into her car. Next, the car was driven toward Base Number Two. Duan Juan had quickly gotten off Xiao Licheng’s car and returned to Lin Qiao’s car while she was having that short conversation with Wu Chengyue.
“Since Liu Wan and his people have died, Zuo Chen and the others who are still in our base should be dealt with as soon as possible.” Back in her office, Lin Qiao summoned Xie Dong, Qiu Lili, Yun Meng, and the others.
“Are we killing them all?” Qiu Lili looked at her with sparkling eyes and asked.
“Release the evidence we have. If it’s not enough, add some details,” said Lin Qiao expressionlessly, a gleam of frosty light flashing across her eyes.
Except for the dozen people who had followed Liu Wan out of the base, about two-hundred men under his command were still in the base. However, a big half of the leaders of those people were gone. Currently, Zuo Chen and the other three level-five people had been leading those people.
“I get it,” Xie Dong nodded and responded with a low and dry voice.
Lin Qiao turned to Yun Meng and said, “Go and tell Yuan Tianxing that we’ll arrest those people tonight. You, Four, and the old man will be guarding around the base, making sure that none of them gets away.”
She meant Four, Old Guo and the other zombie kings and queens should each take a squad of level three and four zombies to guard around the base, and Yun Meng would be in charge of the mission.
“Alright, I get it. I doubt they can run away from us,” Yun Meng gave a cold smile.
The relatively stronger ones among those people had died, while one leader was poisoned and still lying in the hospital. The ones left in the base were mostly weak. What could they possibly do?
“Keep your actions secret. Don’t let the others know. Be careful! Don’t underestimate your enemies, even if they’re only commoners,” Lin Qiao gave Yun Meng a glared and said coldly.
“Oh, I get it,” Yun Meng dropped her head under Lin Qiao’s glare.
After planning the arrest, Lin Qiao ended the meeting, then waved to signal for the zombies in her office to leave.
However, Xie Dong stayed. After watching Lin Qiao stand up from the couch and sit down behind her desk, he walked to her desk and said, “A few people from Huaxia Base are on their way to Sea City Base. Maybe they have heard about what happened to Chief Wu. They seem to be in a rush this time.”
“So soon?” Lin Qiao frowned slightly, “Sea City Base has a large population. I guess there’re quite some moles among them.”
“This time, Huaxia people secretly brought some advanced and powerful weapons. Except for the ones coming for the deal, the other two groups of people have been secretly approaching Sea City Base, all armed to the teeth, composing of level three to five superpowered men. I don’t think they’re holding good intentions,” said Xie Dong.
Currently, Huaxia Base possessed the most advanced techniques in the country. They had developed a lot of advanced devices, including weapons, and had also been constantly producing newer and stronger weapons that would only consume a small amount of energy.
“Have Sea City Base people heard the news yet?” Lin Qiao soon relaxed her frown and asked blandly.
That was not her problem anyway. Wu Chengyue was the one who should be worried about that. She was hoping that more things could happen to lead him away from her! She didn’t want to see him at all!
Xie Dong nodded and said, “I think Chief Wu will soon receive the message.”
Hearing that, Lin Qiao waved at him and said, “Good. That’s his problem. Let’s just watch, and do nothing for now.”
Xie Dong heard her, then turned and headed toward the door. Before reaching the door, he stopped moving and turned sideways, waiting by the door.
Lin Qiao noticed his movement and cast a glance at the door with confusion. Then, she sensed Liu Jun’s vibe.
In a few seconds, Liu Jun came in while holding a pile of files, with her head dropped. She liked to read the files while walking. Not even she herself knew when she had grown that habit.
Once in, she sensed Xie Dong’s vibe, so she raised her head to find him quietly standing by the door. Clearly, he was waiting for her to come in.
They bumped into each other the last few times. Thinking about that, Liu Jun greeted him with an awkward smile. After that, she walked straight to Lin Qiao’s desk and sat down on the chair before it.
“We got our first harvest, only vegetables though. As for the other crops, we need to wait. It won’t be long though. You need to get rid of those ‘rats’ around the farm as soon as possible. They’re hovering around us every day, so annoying!” Being a target of thieves was annoying indeed.
Those ‘rats’ would show up again and again, unless one took them all out at one time.
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “We’ll do it tonight. That will be a perfect reason to deal with them.”
Liu Jun had her eyes glowing, “Oh, are you going to make a move? So, I don’t have to talk to Huo anymore, right?”
Lin Qiao was reading a file that Liu Jun brought. Hearing the latter’s question, she raised her eyes and gave her a glance, “That’s your decision.”
