Chapter 111 — Yu Qian & Yu Meijiao

Wu Yatu searched the floor where Song Xizheng was hiding, and her expression grew darker and darker. She had searched every corner carefully, yet she still couldn’t find her hidden prey.

How did he manage to disappear like that?!

Eventually, Wu Yatu couldn’t resist and tore down a door.

It had to admit that it was getting impatient.

Wu Yatu stood in the corridor with her head lowered, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.

When Song Xizheng peeked through the peephole, this was the scene he saw.

However, he didn’t dare look for too long. He took one glance and immediately looked away.

He didn’t dare provoke Wu Yatu anymore today. Instead, he decided to eat and rest quietly.

As night deepened, Song Xizheng yawned and was about to lie down on his bunk bed when he suddenly remembered that there was still a zombie outside.

He quickly got up and walked toward the door.

Looking through the peephole, he saw that Wu Yatu, who had been standing at the far end of the corridor, was gone.

Song Xizheng looked away and pursed his lips.

Had the zombie really left?

He remembered what Lin Yun had told him. This zombie was extremely intelligent, so he should stop provoking it for the next couple of days and stay away from the shelter’s entrance.

He’d better stay inside for a few days.

What if that thing was still hiding somewhere on this floor, watching him from a blind spot?

If he opened the door, wouldn’t he be caught immediately?

Song Xizheng valued his life dearly. There was no way he would do something so foolish.

And the truth was exactly as Song Xizheng had guessed.

Wu Yatu hadn’t left at all.

It had merely retreated to a corner it had discovered earlier, a spot that was easy to overlook.

But it still couldn’t understand why it couldn’t find that human.

The human was clearly on this floor, yet no matter how carefully it searched, it couldn’t find him.

At this moment, Wu Yatu had no idea that Song Xizheng wasn’t actually from this world, and that the place he was hiding in was an alternate dimension.

It would be extremely difficult for the native inhabitants of this world to discover such an alternate space.

For the next two days, Song Xizheng obediently remained inside the shelter.

On the third day, Lin Yun went to the building where they had met previously and found the things Xu Chi had left for her.

Xu Chi had told her to come to the base after seeing the note. He had already instructed the guards at the entrance to notify him when she arrived.

Lin Yun burned the note and then rode Sang Biao toward the vicinity of the base.

She disguised herself and hid Sang Biao before walking toward the base entrance alone.

After explaining her purpose to the guard, he told her to wait while he went inside to call Xu Chi.

Lin Yun stepped aside and found a place to wait.

But before Xu Chi could arrive, a dramatic scene suddenly unfolded at the entrance.

Yu Qian walked out with several people.

She glanced at the long line of survivors waiting to enter the base and quickly noticed someone among them.

She raised the whip in her hand and lashed out.

"Ah!"

The girl staggered from the blow, her body burning with pain.

Yu Qian snorted coldly.

"Yu Meijiao, I sent you out to find supplies, and you came back empty-handed!"

Yu Meijiao gasped in pain. The moment she heard Yu Qian’s voice, she shrank back and didn’t dare meet her eyes.

"I... I couldn’t find anything..."

"Couldn’t find anything? If you couldn’t find anything, why did you come back? Why didn’t you just die out there?!"

Yu Meijiao didn’t dare answer. She simply stood there, huddled to the side.

The people around them didn’t dare approach either. They had grown accustomed to seeing scenes like this.

Yu Qian put away her whip and glared at Yu Meijiao.

She had other things to deal with today, so she would let Yu Meijiao off for now.

Once she had time, she would give her a proper beating.

After Yu Qian left, the people at the base entrance returned to their places in line, waiting for the guards to inspect them before allowing them inside.

Lin Yun rubbed her chin.

Yu Meijiao?

Then who was that woman who had just beaten her?

This gossip was getting interesting, but it ended after only two bites.

Being left with half the story was making her unbearably uncomfortable.

Xu Chi soon came out.

He looked around and immediately spotted Lin Yun standing to the side.

"Miss Lin."

The moment Xu Chi appeared, Lin Yun’s eyes lit up.

She immediately asked about the woman with the whip.

Xu Chi: "..."

He really had to admire her luck.

"You’re really lucky. That was Yu Qian, the second-in-command of our base."

"?"

Another question mark appeared in Lin Yun’s mind.

Wait, seriously?

That woman looked like an unreasonable spoiled brat. Was she really the second-in-command?

Seeing the disbelief in Lin Yun’s eyes, Xu Chi sighed.

"It’s a long story. Anyway, she’s trouble. Just stay away from her."

Lin Yun: "..."

"Baozi and the others should be coming out soon. Let’s wait a little longer."

Before long, Xu Chi’s teammates came out, and Lin Yun got into the vehicle with them.

"By the way, you just asked about Yu Qian. Did you see her?" Xu Chi suddenly realized.

Lin Yun nodded.

"Yes. She came out with several people and whipped Yu Meijiao once before leaving."

Ji Mingfeng suddenly exclaimed from the side.

"Damn! That’s bad! She’s always opposed our plan to fight Wu Yatu at Jinhe Bridge. Could she be heading there to sabotage us?!"

Xu Chi’s expression immediately turned cold.

"Baozi, drive faster. If Yu Qian really went to Jinhe Bridge, she’s bound to cause trouble again!"

Lin Yun was dumbfounded.

Good heavens, what was going on with this woman?

"...Yu Qian is a real troublemaker at our base. It’s a good thing you knew to smear dirt on your face. Otherwise, she might have noticed you standing there and caused trouble for you."

"She always insists on interfering in things that are going well, manages to mess them up, and then simply walks away. She’s incredibly difficult to deal with."

Lin Yun was speechless.

"Then why is she still the second-in-command? Why don’t you remove her?"

The corner of Xu Chi’s mouth twitched.

They wanted to.

Of course they wanted to.

But Yu Qian had powerful connections.

Her father was the second-in-command of the First Base. After the zombie outbreak, he had wanted to bring Yu Qian over, but the First Base had fallen too quickly, so the matter had been postponed.

To prevent Yu Qian from being mistreated at the Third Base, her father had specifically used his influence to make sure she was protected.

However, Xu Chi had heard that the situation at the First Base had stabilized.

Her father would probably send someone to pick Yu Qian up soon.

Once that happened, the Third Base would finally have some peace.

Lin Yun was dumbfounded again.

Wow.

That’s quite the backing.

"With a troublemaker like that around, you guys really have it tough."

Baozi, sitting in the driver’s seat, gave a bitter smile.

"It’s not that it’s tough. It’s just that life is tough."

"By the way, who is that Yu Meijiao?"

"...Yu Qian’s father’s illegitimate daughter."

Lin Yun: "???"

Wait a minute.

What?!

Yu Meijiao was her father’s illegitimate daughter?

Lin Yun’s brain was about to short-circuit.

"Yes. Yu Qian is the legitimate daughter."

"Yu Meijiao’s mother and father were married through an arranged marriage. Her father never liked either of them. Yu Qian’s biological mother was the woman he truly loved, so naturally, he loved the daughter he had with his true love the most."

Lin Yun: "..."

This family was even more complicated than she had expected.
