“I finally get to meet the baby. Let me see him!” Zou Shihui and his people were sitting at the table in the living room. As Lin Wenwen brought Teng to him, he immediately reached his arms out toward the boy.
Lin Wenwen put Teng into his arms.
“Nice! Look at his bright little eyes! He looks smart! Let me look at him… He got your eyes, Wu,” Zou Shihui put Teng on his knees and looked at the boy’s eyes, then smiled at Wu Chengyue.
Teng raised his head to look at Zou Shihui while sitting on his lap quietly.
Wu Chengyue grinned as he refilled Zou Shihui’s wine glass and said, “Sure. He has my genes.”
Xiao Yunlong leaned over and looked at Teng as he said, “It would be problematic if he didn’t look like Wu!”
Wu Chengyue laughed as he turned and gave him a glance. Receiving that glance, Xiao Yunlong immediately added, “He looks very much like his father! He has his father’s eyes, nose, and mouth!”
‘Can’t I even make a joke?’ Xiao Yunlong complained in his head. “Oi, kid!” He said to Teng, “Why are you acting like a good baby in Zou’s arms? Why wouldn’t you let me hold you like this?”
Teng immediately rolled his eyes toward Xiao Yunlong. ‘Because you tried to see my ‘little brother’! Don’t you think that you can do anything to me only because you’re an adult!’
Wu Chengyue smilingly poured Xiao Yunlong a glass of wine and said, “He’d be nice if you didn’t try to see his little treasure.’
‘You don’t deserve his respect, you dirty uncle’ was what Wu Chengyue was really trying to say.
Holding the glass of liquor, Lin Qiao sat down on the couch that had been moved to a corner of the living room, waiting for Xie Dong to come to her. The latter moved to her side once she showed up.
“What’s going on in Sky Fire Base?” Lin Qiao asked blandly while glancing at Wu Chengyue’s table. He was sitting together with the other two leaders of Sea City Base. Lin Feng, Cheng Wangxue, and Meng Yue were at that table as well. Zou Shihui was still a single man.
In the dining room were Lin Wenwen, Long Qingying, Liu Jun, Duan Juan, Shen Yujen, Qiu Lili, and a few others. In the yard were Wu Chengyue’s close subordinates, including Kong Qingming, Lu Tianyi, and Li Yue Shan.
Of course, most of Lin Qiao’s subordinates were zombies. All they could do was watch the others eat and try to recall the flavors that they had tasted when they were still human beings.
“Li Zhengye has started to secretly hunt for superpower possessors, from his own base as well as the other bases. He has captured those people, but we don’t know what he’s going to do to them. He has also sent a few large troops toward us, Huaxia Base, and Green Mountain Base,” Xie Dong stood beside Lin Qiao and whispered.
“Again? Li Zhengye does have a great army in his hands. That makes sense though. Last time, he only sent three-thousand soldiers to our place. He has over two-hundred-thousand soldiers in his base,” Lin Qiao smiled coldly.
“Most of the people who have been captured by him are from Earth Dragon Base and Hidden Cloud City Base. He didn’t touch the original residents in Sky Fire Base,” Xie Dong thought for a moment and said, “Also, someone from Green Mountain Base asked to see you.”
“They want to see me? On purpose?” Lin Qiao paused briefly with surprise, then turned to look at him.
Xie Dong nodded at her and said, “It’s Ye Yingyue, who has visited us once. She said that there’s something she can only talk to you about. She’s waiting for you in the base.”
Lin Qiao nodded, said, “Did she come alone?”
Xie Dong nodded.
“Alright, I get it. I think she’s in no rush, or she’d come straight here,” said Lin Qiao.
Teng spent a short while sitting on Zou Shihui’s lap, then leaned toward Wu Chengyue and reached out both arms, seemingly wanting his father to hold him.
“Does he want you to hold him?” Zou Shihui noticed the boy’s movement, so he turned to Wu Chengyue. The latter dropped his chopsticks and said, “He’s probably hungry. I’ll go and get his porridge.”
After saying that, he stood up and walked toward the kitchen. Soon, he came back with a bowl of warm porridge. He put the porridge on the table, then held Teng his arms and sat down, putting the boy on his knees.
Outside, Lu Tianyi was glancing at Wu Chengyue from time to time. Seeing him put Teng on his knees, he realized that the boy was going to look for a chance to bring trouble to his parents again.
The boy had also asked him for help. He attempted to refuse, but then ended up being threatened.
Lu Tianyi thought for a moment, then decided to drag his best friend into it. So, he said to Kong Qingming, “There’s something that I want you to tell Wu.”
Ever since he became a zombie, he stopped calling Wu Chengyue ‘Chief’. Of course, he hadn’t been calling his sister ‘Chief’ either.
“What is it? Why don’t you tell him yourself?” Kong Qingming was drinking together with Lin Hao. Being pulled by Lu Tianyi, he turned to the latter and looked at him confusedly. He had had quite some liquor, and his cheeks had reddened a little. However, his eyes were still clear. After all, as a level-six man, he didn’t get drunk easily.
That was one of the good things of being a superpower possessor. The people who had superpowers could drink a lot without getting drunk.
“I’m in an awkward place to do that. It’s about Sea City Base. You should tell him,” Lu Tianyi found an excuse.
“What is it?’ Kong Qingming asked curiously.
“My sister seems to have heard something from Sky Fire Base. Go and remind Wu to pay attention to the recent movements of Sky Fire Base, also ask him if Yue Shan has found out anything,” Lu Tianyi told Kong Qingming about the conversation between Xie Dong and Liu Jun that he overheard.
Kong Qingming looked at him confusedly and said, “That’s not urgent. I’ll tell him tomorrow. Isn’t it strange to talk about that now? Perhaps, Yue Shan has already heard about it. Besides, even if I need to remind someone about it, I should be reminding Yue Shan. He’s responsible for the intelligence work. I don’t need to go straight to Chief.”
Lu Tianyi clicked his tongue and said, “What if you missed the best chance? It is urgent! A twist might happen at any moment. Just cut the crap and go!”
Kong Qingming had drunk quite some alcohol. His eyes were still focused, and his mind stayed clear. However, his brain was slowed down a little. As Lu Tianyi urged him, he felt as if he had no choice but to do what he said.
So, he stood up and moved toward Wu Chengyue’s table. Seeing him walk to Wu Chengyue, Lu Tianyi immediately stood up and walked into Teng’s sight, making a series of hand gestures to the boy while winking. Teng instantly received the signal and had his eyes glowing. Soon, he saw Kong Qingming come to Wu Chengyue.
Kong Qingming stood behind Wu Chengyue and bent over to whisper a few words to Wu Chengyue. The latter turned and looked at him with a slight frown. At the same moment, Teng pricked his finger and flicked a small drop of his blood into Wu Chengyue’s bowl.
He was fast, and his movement was subtle. None of the others at the table noticed his move
