Lin Qiao asked them with discontentment, “Why didn’t you send me a message? If I didn’t come back timely, we’d owe Wu Chengyue another favor.”
She honestly didn’t want to have too many connections with Wu Chengyue.
“Eh? We sent out a zombie to deliver the message to you. Didn’t you get it?” Qiu Lili looked at her with surprise.
Lin Qiao paused briefly, then replied, “No. If I knew, I wouldn’t go all the way to Sichuan Province to kill Lu Zhuofeng.”
“We had indeed sent out a level-four zombie. Is Lu Zhuofeng dead?” Yuan Tianxing said with his eyes dropped, then raised his head to look at Lin Qiao.
“He’s dead,” Lin Qiao swung an arm and threw two silver metal suitcases onto the conference table.
“This is the anti-viral drug… Leng Xuantong knows about their effects. We won’t use them, though. We’ll see if we can find any component immune to the zombie virus from these drugs.” Having finished talking, she opened one suitcase and took out some drug, leaving about thirty percent of the drugs in the case.
Xie Dong turned and put on gloves as he found a tray. He put the drugs on the tray, then brought it to Leng Xuantong.
After the short meeting was over, Lin Qiao brought the half box of drug to the reception room.
“I think these are enough to pay you for protecting my people against the zombie emperor,” Lin Qiao opened the box and put it on the table before Wu Chengyue.
Wu Chengyue paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Lin Qiao, who had taken a seat on the other side of the table. “That’s not right,” he said, “Isn’t this what I deserve for keeping that hostage for you earlier? And, these don’t seem enough. We agreed on fifty-five percent, didn’t we?”
Lin Qiao looked at him as she blinked and said, “I did say that back then. But, didn’t you throw the hostage to Green Mountain Base people? Besides, shouldn’t you guys thank me for giving you the hostage? Do you really want me to pay you for that? How shameless! If I didn’t give you the hostage, could you possibly make Huaxia Base lower the prices?”
Wu Chengyue paused again. After that, he erased the smile on his face and gawked at Lin Qiao. A short while later, he said, “So, this was your plan! What a huge trap!”
After thinking it through, he was a little angry at himself. He should have thought of that, but in the end, he was entrapped by the female zombie!
Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “I thought you’d figure it out.”
Wu Chengyue didn’t know how to respond. He didn’t think so much back then because he was too lazy to think.
“I heard that you helped us on one condition. Can you tell me what it is now?” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked.
Wu Chengyue thought for a moment. Before, he had planned to join hands with Lin Qiao and kill the zombie emperor together if she had any intention to kill that zombie. And then, he would take the emperor’s nucleus. But to his surprise, Lin Qiao didn’t plan to kill the zombie emperor at all. Instead, she let him go.
“I’ll save it. In the future, I’ll let you know when I need your help.” At last, Wu Chengyue sighed and said unhappily. He had no way of changing what had already happened. He was entrapped by the female zombie, and he had no choice but to admit it. What else could he do? He still wanted to marry her. He couldn’t make her an enemy, could he?
He was entrapped by his future wife. Well, as a man, he decided to live with it.
“In the future?” Lin Qiao looked at him. She thought for a short while, and then nodded and said, “Alright, as long as I or my base can help…”
“Remember what you said.” Hearing her words, Wu Chengyue suddenly gave her a meaningful smile.
Lin Qiao blinked and had a bad feeling. But, she still nodded.
“Alright! Since your problem is solved, I should take off. Come to Sea City Base to visit Ling Ling if you have the time. She needs you,” Wu Chengyue stood up. While finishing his speech, he looked at Lin Qiao with a weird grin.
Lin Qiao was a little speechless about that.
That bad feeling grew even stronger. ‘What is he planning? He’s actually using Ling Ling as a bait!’
“I’ll go if I have the time,” Lin Qiao didn’t know what else to say. As for if she would have time or not…
“It’s okay. If you don’t have time to come, I’ll bring Ling Ling here,” Wu Chengyue smiled.
If that happened, he would make a move directly. He might be able to make a condition about that.
His eyes lingered for a moment on Lin Qiao’s lower abdomen. After that, he turned and left with Xiao Yunlong and the others, who were silent the whole time.
As he looked at her stomach, Lin Qiao tightened her body and raised her vigilance.
‘That man is still coveting Viney!’
After sending Wu Chengyue away, Lin Qiao started managing the base. At last, she strengthened the force which was used for building the fence wall by sending out all the earth-powered beings in the base, including the earth-powered zombies from her space.
Over a hundred zombies in her space had all drunk her blood which was diluted with a large amount of water. She found that the lake water from her space was able to preserve the virus contained in her blood significantly. Over time, the virus contained in the diluted blood would even grow thicker.
With a test-tube of her blood, Lin Qiao asked Leng Xuantong to grow a large amount of her virus. So, unlike Lin Kui, she wasn’t facing a risk of losing too much blood.
Besides, her body was able to generate blood. New blood would be generated by her weirdly mutated heart. But of course, her heart needed nutrition, which, of course, came from the lake.
She dealt with the important things in the base and then left the other works for Yuan Tianxing and Lin Kui. Then, she asked Liu Jun to arrange rooms for Lin Kui and Xiao Xiao. After that, she returned to her space.
She didn’t forget that a few zombie kings and queens were still in her space.
Black had rested for a day. Its injuries hadn’t healed, but the pain had eased a lot. When those zombie kings were thrown into the woods, Black and the dog sneaked away.
Those zombies were lost in the woods, running about here and there. As Lin Qiao entered the space, they immediately sensed her and stopped moving, alertly turning to where she was.
Without being controlled by the zombie emperor, the six zombies had no intention of cooperation. Instead, they kept a safe distance away from each other.
Seeing Lin Qiao walk into the woods, they all bared their teeth and fixed their eyes on her, preparing to defend.
