Si Kongchen dropped the file, then leaned against the back of his chair as he folded his arms and thought for a moment before speaking,
Hasn’t he been pursuing that woman? Was there another woman who gave him a son? Or… his son isn’t adopted too, is he?

 

He had already adopted a daughter. Adopting a son wouldn’t be surprising for him.
 

Wei Haichao pondered upon his words and found them reasonable. So, he nodded and said,
That’s possible… But, I’m thinking maybe he found a surrogate mother from another base?


That’s not possible!
Xie Longyun, who was sitting on the couch, denied that possibility,
He has a daughter already. Does he still need a surrogate mother? He treasures his six-year-old daughter, doesn’t he? In that case, he doesn’t need a surrogate mother. I don’t think that’s something he would do. It’s not like he has to have a son. That’s not necessary at all.

The two men glanced at her. Si Kongchen stayed silent while Wei Haichao responded,
Perhaps he wants a son to carry on his duty. After all, most men want to pass on their bloodline. That’s nothing strange.

Xie Longyun gave him a sideway glimpse,
That sounds weird. Wu Chengyue already has his eyes on a woman. Why didn’t he let the woman he likes give him a son? Why another woman? Isn’t that weird? Are you a man like that? Do you prefer another woman to give birth to your son than the woman you like?

 

After saying that, she looked at Wei Haichao from head to toe the way people would look at an irresponsible and dishonest man. Under her gaze, the latter instantly felt embarrassed.
How is that possible? I’m not that kind of man,
he denied without thinking.
 


Who knows? I don’t know you well,
Xie Longyun turned her eyes away from him and shrugged. Raising her eyebrows, she picked up the teacup and took another sip.
 

Wei Haichao felt being wronged.
 


So, Wu Chengyue has a one-month-old son. Anything else?
Si Kongchen asked.
 

Wei Haichao shook his head,
They have been keeping the sources of their supplies strictly secret. Our people haven’t gathered any useful information yet. After the clues about those two diaries, nothing else was found.

 

Si Kongchen furrowed his brows,
Hadn’t those two diaries fallen into Wu Chengyue’s hands already? Do you want to take them from him?

 

Wei Haichao dropped his head despondently and said,
It was all because of that woman. Eh! Wu Chengyue found out about it anyway.


He has already gotten the diaries, so there’s no chance for us to take them back,
said Si Kongchen with a peaceful look in his eyes and a bland tone,
Wu Chengyue is not stupid. He won’t give us any chance to get something so important.

 

Leng Xuantong had already been studying the two diaries. He hadn’t dug out any useful information from it though. Someone found him and asked him for the two diaries.
 


I heard from Chief that you have two diaries from Huaxia Base about the research on plants. Can I read them? Are you done reading them?
Shui Mingjun stood outside Leng Xuantong’s lab and said to him.
 


Yes, but I can only lend you one of them now. I’ll lend you the second one when you are done reading the first one. Can you understand the contents of those diaries? Those have a pretty high academic quality…
Leng Xuantong nodded, but looked at him with hesitation.
 


It’s okay,
Shui Mingjun smiled and said,
I’ll memorize them after reading them once. That knowledge might be useless to me now, but after I learn more about those plants, I might be able to give it a try. It’s better than doing nothing, right?

 

Leng Xuantong thought for a moment and felt that Shui Mingjun was actually right. He himself had now been focusing on the energy and matters inside the bodies of the underground creatures, so he didn’t need those diaries for the time being. Shui Mingjun could read them if he wanted to. Perhaps, he could really discover something that he had missed.
 

Sometimes, people with little professional knowledge might have surprising discoveries when they read academic articles.
After giving the first diary to Shui Mingjun, Leng Xuantong went back to his lab. Apart from his zombie wife and son, Bao Xiaoguo and his little sister were also in that lab.
 

Leng Xuantong’s wife was at level-three already. In the past year, she drank the lake water that Lin Qiao left her almost every single day. Therefore, her appearance had changed quite a lot. Her hair were already shiny. Apart from her black eyes and dark-purple lips, she looked almost like a healthy human being.
 

His son was healing relatively slowly, but the cause was undetermined. It was definitely not because of his young age. After all, Four under Chief’s direct command was already a zombie king now.
 

Bao Xiaoguo was guarding the lab diligently. From time to time, he turned to look into the lab.
Most of the time, the zombie boy was outside the door, playing with Bao Xiaoguo. Leng Xuantong would ask the boy to go outside when he hindered the adults in the lab from doing their work. Well, the boy never listened to him anyway. Every time, he would bare his teeth and roar at his father fiercely. However, his mother would then slap on the back of his head and drive him out of the lab.
Leng Xuantong’s wife was named Qi Lansheng. She was a short-tempered, violent zombie lady who beat her son all the time.
 


Director, was your wife like this when she was still a human?
The shorted haired Bao Xiaoying, who looked like a boy, sneakily poked Leng Xuantong and asked him when he watched Qi Lansheng kick her son out of the lab like always.
 

Leng Xuantong was bending over to look into the microscope. Hearing the question, he stayed motionless and responded,
She wasn’t so violent before. The worst thing she could do was yell at us. Now, she’s a zombie, so maybe she’s become wilder than before, or her true nature is revealed.

 

Thankfully, he was at level-five, and was totally able to suppress his level-three wife. Also, fortunately, Qi Lansheng had restored some of her memory. She had been quite nice to Leng Xuantong.
 

Leng Xuantong’s lab was located in Base Number Two, so he hardly limited the freedom of his wife and son, as long as the two of them didn’t go too far away.
 

The zombie boy started staring at Bao Xiaoguo again once he ran out of the lab. He stood about a meter away from the latter and raised his pale little face to looked at him with his dark eyes, struggling.
 

Bao Xiaoguo smelt so good. He wanted so strongly to eat him. However, his mother wouldn’t let him eat the man. Also, the man sometimes released the horrible black fire to scare him.

Shu, you’ll get hungry standing near me. Move!
Like always, Bao Xiaoguo said to the little zombie with an unfriendly tone when the boy stood before him.
 

The zombie boy had failed to resist the temptation and bitten him a few times. He didn’t turn into a zombie though. Recently, he attained a dark fire power, as same as what his Chief had. Once he released a tiny wisp of dark fire, the zombie boy would run away.
