Chapter 1430: Ask Teng About It

We’ll stay! We just want to survive after all. For the sake of Deputy Chief Lin and Deputy Chief Yuan, we’ll trust you this time!
As Dong Xinxin and her people had decided to stay, Wang Jian and his people made their decision as well.

I… I’ll stay. I’m alone and I can live anywhere, but I like this base. I don’t want to leave,
A weak but determined voice was heard from among the soldiers.

I’ll stay.


Me too.


I’ll stay. I don’t care where I live. I just need to make sure that I won’t get starved.

More and more voices like that came from the army.

You’ll regret your decision! I can tell you for sure. This is definitely a trap! It’s so ridiculous that you guys actually believe that you can live together with zombies in peace. I don’t even know if I should call you innocent or stupid!
As many expressed the willingness to stay, the one who was the first to suggest people to leave shouted loudly. In the meantime, he led some people toward the outside.
His words made many hesitate again. Earlier, they wanted to leave because of what Wang Jian and the others said, and how, they weren’t sure about it.
As those people were still hesitating, Yuan Tianxing said to Lin Kui and the others,
If you’re all in here, who’s guarding the base out there?

They hadn’t forgotten about those underground creatures out there, had they?
Yun Meng turned to glance at him and said relaxedly,
Don’t worry! Those things are acting restless indeed, but it seems that they’re also hesitating, as if there is something in our base that scares them. No wonder Chief told us not to worry.


What is it?
Lin Feng turned back and asked curiously.

I don’t know,
Yun Meng shook her head and said,
She didn’t give us the details. Maybe you can talk to Teng about it. He might have the answer.

Lin Feng, Yuan Tianxing, and the others glanced at each other with confusion.
Had Lin Qiao talked to Teng about that?
After switching glances with the others, Yuan Tianxing said to Lin Feng,
Alright, give them some time to think. Let’s go and talk to Teng, see if he knows something.

Lin Feng nodded and turned to the people, who were still running discussions about whether they should leave or not, saying loudly,
We’ll let you take your time to make your decisions. You are free to leave or stay.

After saying that, he turned back and walked down the podium together with Yuan Tianxing and the others, taking a ride to Base Number Two. Du Yuanxing and Chen Yuting were left on the scene maintaining the order. Yun Meng and her friends disappeared from the podium. They always liked flying more than taking cars. The cars were slow, and they preferred to be fast.
Teng and Wu Yueling were staying at Lin Qiao’s apartment, under the care of Duan Juan and Shen Yujen. Currently, Wu Yueling would no longer feel uncomfortable without the company of Wu Chengyue or Lin Qiao. As long as Teng was by her side, she could stay in a place quietly, drawing or playing with her rabbit. Occasionally, she chatted with Teng. However, most of the time, Teng was the one talking and she was the one listening.
Shen Yujen who was outside, detected the scents of Lin Feng and the others. She pushed the door open and said to Teng, who was lying on the couch and feeling bored,
Teng, I think your uncle and some others are here for you.

Teng immediately got up and leaned on the back of the couch as he nodded and said,
Yeah, I’ve smelt them too.


Are there many people?
Wu Yueling turned and asked her.
Teng counted with his fingers,
Yeah. They’re my elderly uncle, Uncle Yuan, Aunty Wenwen, and Sister Lili and the others.

Hearing that so many people were coming over, Wu Yueling instantly sat straight, looking a little nervous. Teng thought for a moment and then crawled to her before sitting on her lap, saying,
Hold me, so that you won’t be scared!

He knew about Wu Yueling’s condition, which had grown much better than before. But still, she tended to become nervous when more than three people whom she wasn’t familiar with showed up in front of her together. She was learning to control herself though and was making great improvements.
Having something to hold would help her to relax. Therefore, Teng decided to be her cuddle bear.
As Teng crawled onto her lap, Wu Yueling naturally put her arms around his tiny and soft body. Beside her, the gray rabbit, which was even larger than Teng, was squatting on the couch.
Duan Juan walked out of the kitchen, wearing an apron. While drying her hands with a towel, she asked,
Why are they here? Aren’t they having a meeting? Is the meeting over already?

Sitting in Wu Yueling’s arms, Teng put a hand on his chin as he thought for a moment and said,
Em, I guess they’re going to ask me questions about those underground creatures out there.


Why would they want to ask you about that?
Duan Juan asked the boy.
Teng shrugged as he looked at her with a pair of large and sparkling eyes, shaking his head,
That was just my guess. If they aren’t going to ask me questions about those creatures, why are they here together? I guess it’s what Mama said before leaving that made them think I should know something.


You’re probably right,
Duan Juan nodded as she glanced at Teng, sighing. The boy was only a few months old, but his mind was already as mature as an adult. She wondered how the boy developed that mind in Lin Qiao’s uterus. Or, had his mind developed in advance when he was in the space?
Before long, Lin Feng and the others came to the door and saw Shen Yujen. Before they said anything, she invited them in.
Please come in. Teng is already waiting for you guys.

Lin Feng raised his brows, saying,
Has he sensed our scents already?

He and the others were all aware that Teng’s sense of smell was no worse than that of zombies.
Shen Yujen smiled and said,
He has also guessed out that you’re here to ask him about the underground creatures.
Yuan Tianxing, who was following behind Lin Feng, laughed,
The boy is really smart. He actually guessed correctly.


He’s Qiaoqiao’s son, and he’s as amazing as her,
said Qiu Lili.
Everyone walked into the room to find the two kids sitting on the couch and Duan Juan standing on the side. As they came in, she offered them seats and served them with the tea which was prepared long ago.
The tea was produced in Lin Qiao’s space and tasted refreshing and sweet.

Ahyaya, Little Teng! Come and give your Aunty a hug,
Lin Wenwen rushed at Teng and asked for a hug at the sight of the boy. However, Teng raised a hand to stop her before she could even come close, saying,
Wait a minute! You can’t hug me just yet.

While speaking, he pointed at the nervous Wu Yueling with his little finger.
As Lin Wenwen came over, Wu Yueling was automatically shrinking backward. The girl popped her eyes and stared at Lin Wenwen nervously, holding Teng tighter.
Seeing that, Lin Wenwen figured out what the problem was. Without a choice, she gave up and stepped back,
Alright then. But when they all leave, you’ve got to let me hold you.


Sure,
Teng spread his hands and said.
Lin Feng sat down as he looked at Teng and asked the question directly,
You seem to have known why we’re here. Do you have the answer?


I think I do,
Teng nodded at him and said,
Look at that.

While speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at a sealed glass bottle on a cabinet. It was a bottle with a capacity of 500ml, about the same size as a spring water bottle. The bottle was half-way filled with a dark-red liquid.

What’s that? It looks like some kind of blood…
Everyone turned to look at the bottle and some made a guess.

It is blood… It’s Mama’s blood. It’s for me to drink,
said Teng.
