It was so exhausting to talk to a zombie who didn’t understand human language. However, this zombie didn’t even understand zombie language!
Lin Qiao just looked at the young male zombie who was standing at the door speechlessly.
At that moment, Yun Meng showed up at the door and saw the zombie who was standing straight with his back to the door. She paused briefly with surprise, then walked in while asking, “What is he doing here?”
Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “He came here by himself. I told him to go back, but he wouldn’t listen.”
Yun Meng sat before Lin Qiao’s desk, then turned and took another glance at the zombie. After that, she turned back to Lin Qiao and said, “So, you let him stand there?”
Lin Qiao thought for a moment. The zombie didn’t seem to understand their conversation, so she decided to let him be there. “Just let him stand there. How’s it going? How many zombies have upgraded this time?” She said to Yun Meng.
Yun Meng handed her a piece of paper and said, “Here.”
Yun Meng accepted another task once she came back and left the base again. This time, she went to check the zombie crowd that was left in the west. Those zombies were left there for months, and the competition among them was intense. Yun Meng found a few level-five ones among them, tens of level-four ones, and quite some level-three ones.
She brought hundreds of zombies at level three to five back to Base Number Two, and put them into the third regiment for training.
Lin Qiao glanced at the numbers on the paper and nodded.
Yun Meng seemed composed before leaving, yet she couldn’t help to glance at Lin Qiao’s belly before she left the office. She remembered how shocked she was back when she got off the car together with Lin Qiao, and the stunned look on Xiao Licheng’s face.
She was too surprised, so she asked about the baby without thinking. Lin Qiao didn’t answer her question though.
After finishing her work quickly, Lin Qiao left her office, prepared to go back to her dorm. She stood up to see that the young male zombie was still standing at the door motionlessly, looking at her quietly.
Once she stood up from her seat, her round belly became obvious. She didn’t let anyone see her on her way to her office, and she had her belly covered while she was sitting behind her desk. That was how she kept Xie Dong, Duan Juan, and the others from finding it out.
Lin Qiao observed the zombie’s face. To be honest, she could only vaguely tell his original look because he was scrawny, and his facial muscles were atrophic. His eyes were deeply sunken and his lips were blue. Except for his Roman nose, his face was distorted.
However, as she looked at him more carefully, she managed to picture his original look.
After a quick observation, she figured that he should be a good-looking man before turning into a zombie. He was over six-feet tall. He was so skinny that he looked even like a bamboo. For that reason, he seemed taller than he really was.
“Come here,” Lin Qiao walked to the door and waved her hand at him, then headed toward the restroom where Wu Chengyue was.
Wu Chengyue couldn’t go anywhere further away from her. She hadn’t finished her job yet, so he stayed in the restroom, reading the files that Li Yue Shan brought him.
Lin Qiao walked to find that Wu Yueling had already fallen asleep. She was lying on the couch, covered in a blanket.
“Are you done?” Seeing Lin Qiao, Wu Chengyue raised his head and asked her.
“Em,” Lin Qiao nodded and responded.
Wu Chengyue immediately put the files into the bag beside him, and Xiao Licheng picked up the bag. He frowned slightly with fright when he saw the young male zombie behind Lin Qiao, worried that it might suddenly pounce on him again.
However, the young male zombie didn’t stare at him this time. Instead, he was drooling at Wu Yueling, who was lying on the couch.
Lin Qiao couldn’t help but grab his ear and pull him to the side. She pulled his head toward herself and said to him, “You cannot eat her!”
Then, she turned to say something to Wu Chengyue, ending up watching him fall to the ground.
Everyone in the room gave a start and had their expression changing, except for the young male zombie.
“Chief!” Xiao Licheng dropped the bag and hurriedly stepped over to hold Wu Chengyue up from the ground.
Wu Chengyue didn’t pass out, and his mind was still clear. He just suddenly lost his eyesight and strength just now. After being pulled up from the ground, he felt better, albeit still weak.
He let Xiao Licheng hold him up, then waved a hand and said, “I’m fine.”
Lin Qiao slightly narrowed her eyes to observe his body, then reopened those eyes and said to him, “Go to the medical department and have a check-up.” She needed to go and get a check-up as well. She was planning on doing that tomorrow because it was late, and she didn’t know if Lin Hao was still working.
Then, she turned to say to that young male zombie, who was following closely behind her, “Go back to your room.”
This time, she controlled him with her will power and released her vibe.
Under her gaze, the zombie flinched and left obediently. On his way while leaving, he turned back to look at her all the time.
Wu Chengyue sat on the couch and leaned against the back of the couch with his eyes closed. As the dizziness faded, he waved a hand and talked to the others.
“I’m fine.”
At that moment, Wu Yueling woke up. She sat up drowsily and looked at the others with confusion.
“Let’s go to the medical department and get you a check-up first,” said Lin Qiao. She sounded very firm while Xiao Licheng nodded in agreement.
Hearing what she said, Wu Chengyue paused briefly, then nodded with a smile, “Alright. It’s the first time that you cared so much about me. I’ll go.”
Lin Qiao glanced at him expressionlessly and said, “We are partners. Isn’t it normal for me to care about you?”
She brought Wu Chengyue to the medical department. Lin Hao was rubbing his own temples by the time they arrived. He had been expecting her since long ago. He first took a glance at Lin Qiao and her belly, then turned to Wu Chengyue.
“Oh, I’m surprised that our powerful Chief Wu can actually get sick too,” Lin Hao teased him with a faint smile. Usually, superpower possessors were outstandingly healthy and strong. They could get injured, but weren’t likely to fall in illness.
Sensing his teasing tone, Wu Chengyue responded with a mild smile, “I’m a human being, not a god.”
Lin Hao raised his eyebrows, then turned and headed toward the clinic. While walking, he said, “Follow me. The rest of you, please wait in the office.”
He wanted very much to check his sister’s condition first. However, his sister gave him an eye signal just now. Under her order, he had no choice but to give Wu Chengyue a check-up first.
Lin Qiao and Xiao Licheng stayed in the office together with Shen Yujen, who came here to inform Lin Qiao in advance. At that moment, Shen Yujen had her wide-opened eyes fixed on Lin Qiao’s belly. She had finally discovered Lin Qiao’s pregnant belly.
Seeing that look on her face, Xiao Licheng figured that it might be her first time noticing her Chief’s condition. He couldn’t help but turn toward Lin Qiao with curiosity as well.
