“Your mission is to collect information, observe those creatures, and find out how dangerous they are. Keeping yourselves safe is your top priority. Fall back immediately if you find yourselves in danger,” Lin Qiao looked at the three and said to them.
Lin Feng nodded, understanding her meaning.
Three and Four were both zombie kings. They had regained some of their memories, and were smarter and more capable than some people. They surely understood what Lin Qiao meant as well.
Their mission was mainly to observe those creatures, learn about them, and figure out if they were dangerous for mankind and threatening to the base.
“This is it,” Lin Qiao told them to leave, then folded her arms and started thinking.
She suddenly realized that she needed more zombie subordinates! Currently, she only had a few zombie kings and queens under her command. The world was filled with mad mutated animals and plants. All those creatures had grown stronger, and were evolving quickly. At present, level five and six mutated creatures were seen everywhere. For level-six zombies, crazy level-six mutated creatures could be hard to deal with.
For now, she had three zombie dominators, as well as eleven kings and queens on her side. Half of them needed to stay in the base to guard it while the other half were often sent out for missions.
People hadn’t yet figured out what was going on with the huge group of rats, and now those underground creatures were discovered. Apart from those, a large number of mutated animals, plants, and insects needed to be worried about…
People still needed to go out of the base to gather all kinds of supplies, so they would need to face all those dangers.
A couple of days later, Liu Jun came to Lin Qiao’s office with a report from the farm and asked the latter, “We’ve run out of seeds. Can we bring a batch of seeds out of your space? How’s Lu Tianyi doing in there?”
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “He has developed the land around the three houses and the area near the lake. The strawberry field has become much larger than before.”
“Such a great land? How many people have you sent to aid him?” Liu Jun thought for a moment and said. The land near the lake was large. Lu Tianyi certainly couldn’t develop that entire land with the help of merely Pesticide and Xiao-xiao.
“About twenty zombies are working there in total at the moment,” said Lin Qiao.
Even Mo Yan had joined the farm work with his zombie girl. Well, he was only there to have fun though. He was bored doing nothing after all.
At first, he leisurely taught the zombie girl in a white dress so loosen the soil, plant the seeds, and water the crops. The next day, he found that the seeds that he planted about ten hours ago had all sprouted. The thriving, tender green sprouts brought him an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
He had grown them.
So, the zombie emperor was suddenly obsessed with farming. He observed those sprouts every single day and watched them grow, turning into different shapes. He watched the seeds he planted become juicy vegetables. The more beautiful those crops turned, the happier he would be.
When he was in a good mood, he would even pick a few leaves and put them into his mouth to chew. No one knew if he could taste anything though.
Mrs. Lin started from standing near the farm with confusion and watching the others work. Later on, she started learning how to do the work and joined the crew.
Currently, all zombies in Lin Qiao’s space had been doing the farm work all day.
Every day, Lu Tianyi would put the harvested vegetables in some baskets on the clearing before Lin Qiao’s house. Lin Qiao would bring those out of her space by merely waving a hand, and then ask Liu Jun to send them to Cheng Wangxue.
The food from Lin Qiao’s space wouldn’t be put together with the food from the farm in the base. The food from her space was heathier, containing a slight amount of energy that was beneficial for the human body.
Those vegetables and fruits were supplied to the high-level base administrators and the others who were rich in credits. Normal people couldn’t afford it.
Abruptly, Lin Qiao sniffed at Liu Jun and then asked her, “What do you think of Xie Dong?”
“What?” Liu Jun looked at her confusedly. She didn’t understand why Lin Qiao suddenly mentioned Xie Dong.
“I mean, what do you think of him? Is he good?” Lin Qiao repeated her question.
Liu Jun stayed silent for a short while, then responded, “Em, he’s nice. He’s quiet, but he gives out a strong sense of security.”
“Oh, really?” Lin Qiao laughed and said jokingly while looking at Liu Jun, “Why have I been sensing his scent from you lately? It’s growing stronger and stronger. You guys are pretty close lately!”
Something was happening between them!
Liu Jun paused briefly, then sniffed her own arm and said, “His scent? Why didn’t I sense it?”
Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and said, “I bet you can’t sense it. You’ve gotten used to it already.”
“Got used to what?” Liu Jun looked at her bewilderedly, “He saved Tongtong last time. I am grateful for it.”
“That’s it?” Lin Qiao wanted to roll her eyes again. It seemed that Liu Jun hadn’t realized it yet.
She wondered how had Xie Dong been feeling. Was it like what she thought?
Lin Qiao looked at Liu Jun and thought about the relationship between her and Xie Dong as she blinked with curiosity in her eyes. She was only curious about it, but didn’t plan to tell either of them what to do.
It would be nice if the two of them got together… Liu Jun had a son, and she was a good girl. At the same time, Xie Dong was a great man. It would be good if he could forget about his awful ex-girlfriend.
“What else can it possibly be?” Liu Jun looked at Lin Qiao confusedly while the latter stared at her with glowing eyes. Liu Jun often mentioned what was happening between Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue, so Lin Qiao was happy that she could do the same to Liu Jun now.
“I think Xie is a nice guy. Are you gonna think about it? It’ll be nice if Tongtong could have a father to protect him. You’re busy after all…” Lin Qiao looked at her and said.
Liu Jun looked back at her and said, “Xie Dong is even busier than I am. I work in the base, but he goes out all the time.”
Xie Dong was doing the intelligence work, so it was normal for him to go out of the base for missions.
“That’s temporary,” Lin Qiao said while rubbing her chin, “He’ll train his men, and he’ll have more subordinates under his command. By then, he’ll get promoted and won’t have to go out all the time anymore.”
In fact, Xie Dong hardly went out off late.
“Well, even if that’s the case, we can’t be together unless we both want to. I don’t think he wants it,” Liu Jun said carelessly. She didn’t seem to be interested in that. In her impression, Xie Dong never seemed to have special feelings for her.
However, they did happen to run into each other a lot lately.
“Alright,” Lin Qiao shrugged and didn’t say anything else.
Liu Jun glanced at her with confusion, then picked up the box of seeds from Lin Qiao’s space and left the office.
