Early in the morning, Wu Chengyue, Meng Yue, Xiao Yunlong, and Chen Yuting were all in the living room of Wu Chengyue’s place. Chen Yuting was very pallid and anxious, pacing before the tea table with bloodshot eyes. The others were also wearing a grim look.
Wu Chengyue looked at him and asked,
Are you so sure that Piao Gecang kidnapped your wife? Can you prove that?
Chen Yuting shook his head and responded angrily,
Yesterday morning, he blocked my way and gave me a hard time. Before leaving, he said that I’ll certainly go find him again. I don’t think anyone else would do it but him. Everyone in the base knows that he’s sick, and he likes to abuse women. None of the women who were raped by him survived! And now, my Jen is missing… It must be him!
Xiao Yunlong glanced at Wu Chengyue, then said in agreement,
It might really be him.
Wu Chengyue nodded, then replied with a frown,
But, we don’t have any proof. He’s a Deputy Chief of this base after all. And for now, the most important things is that we need to find her first.
Then, he turned to Chen Yuting and asked,
Do you have any leads? Do you know where she was kidnapped?
My teammates who were responsible for her safety told me that they were knocked out in an empty place. Quite some people attacked them. When they woke up, Jen was already missing. My people have searched that area, but found nothing,
said Chen Yuting.
Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then looked at Meng Yue and said,
Meng Yue will go to that place with you. Maybe she can find something.
Meng Yue nodded.
Chen Yuting knew that Meng Yue had green power, so he nodded and said,
Alright. Sorry to trouble you, Miss. Meng.
It’s okay,
Meng Yue gave a smile.
At that moment, Xiao Licheng walked in and said,
Chief, a man from Hades Base is here.
The people in the living room all turned to Xiao Licheng.
I think he’s here to inform them to get ready to leave. Let him in.
Yes, sir!
Morning, everyone,
Li Zheng walked in. He was here to borrow vehicles from Wu Chengyue. Seeing Chen Yuting, he was slightly surprised.
Eh? Captain Chen? You came to Chief Wu’s place so early?
he said.
Li Zheng had sent Lei Yao to Chen Yuting’s place to inform him, and the others to find the people who had applied for the job by themselves.
Xiao Yunlong quickly stood up and said,
Ah, you’re here to borrow vehicles, right? The vehicles are all prepared for you. Where will you gather? When will you leave?
Li Zheng confusedly glanced at Chen Yuting. Hearing Xiao Yunlong’s questions, he turned back and replied,
Two o’clock this afternoon. We’ll gather on the square before the administration building in Region D.
Xiao Yunlong nodded and said,
Alright, I’ll tell the drivers to drive the vehicles to that spot by two. The three-hundred people from our side will be there along with the vehicles.
Li Zheng smilingly nodded and said,
Great! Chief Wu, thank you for sending those people and lending us the vehicles!
Wu Chengyue shook his head and said politely,
You’re welcome. We’re collaborating, and you’ll be paying them with food. With this job, many people won’t need to worry about being starved to death during the coming winter.
Li Zheng nodded, then turned to Chen Yuting and said,
Captain Chen, there should be no problem on your side, right? Can your people all get ready at noontime? You don’t look good now. Did something bad happen?
Chen Yuting responded with a glum look,
I… I might not be able to go with you for now.
While speaking, he turned to glance at Wu Chengyue.
Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then said to Xiao Yunlong,
Yunlong, maybe you should go with them and lead the group. I’ll help to deal with Chen Yuting’s problem.
Xiao Yunlong nodded, then walked to Chen Yuting and patted him on the shoulder.
Don’t worry, you’ll find your wife.
After saying that, he walked to the door.
Li Zheng looked at Chen Yuting with confusion, but felt inappropriate to ask him about what had happened. So, with no better choice, he decided to leave.
I’ll be going then. You guys carry on.
He turned and made two steps forward, but then suddenly paused and turned around to say to Chen Yuting,
Ugh, if you need any help, just tell us.
Chen Yuting nodded slightly at him and replied,
Em, thank you!
When Li Zheng was leaving, Wu Chengyue looked at his back and thought of that zombie lady.
Wasn’t she a zombie? She must be very sensitive to the scents of human beings. If she helped, Chen Yuting’s wife might be located within a shorter time.
With that thought, he abruptly reached out a hand toward Li Zheng who was walking out and said,
Please wait!
Li Zheng and Xiao Yunlong stopped together, then turned back to look at him confusedly.
Eh, what’s up?
said Li Zheng.
Where’s Miss. Lu?
asked Wu Chengyue,
I wonder if we can invite her here?
Li Zheng looked at him with confusion while answering his question,
You want to see Miss. Lu? I need to go back and ask her.
Then please go back and tell her that I need to ask her a favor,
said Wu Chengyue,
I wonder what she’ll want us to pay her in return.
Li Zheng nodded and said,
Okay, I’ll tell her what you said.
As Li Zheng left, Wu Chengyue looked at Chen Yuting and said,
I have an idea. If Miss. Lu agrees to help, we should be able to find your Jen very quickly.
Really?
Chen Yuting asked eagerly, his face brightening up.
Wu Chengyue gave a confident smile and said,
She isn’t an ordinary being. In terms of finding people, I think she’s even better than Meng Yue.
While speaking, he turned to glance at her.
Meng Yue looked at him with a weird look and said,
You want to use her as an army dog, don’t you?
She had learned that Miss. Lu was the female zombie who had suffered a lightning strike from Wu Chengyue. Without a question, she also understood how sensitive zombies were to the scents of human beings. Zombies had a sharper sense of smell than even dogs, especially the high-level ones.
Hearing her, the smile on Wu Chengyue’s face turned mysterious.
Hah, you can’t say that in front of her, or you’ll fall in trouble… I’m telling you.
Meng Yue rolled her eyes toward him.
Chen Yuting didn’t know who Lin Qiao was, so he couldn’t understand the meaning of this short conversation between Wu Chengyue and Meng Yue.
At that point, a gray rabbit hopped downstairs. Following behind it, Wu Yueling came down step by step, her hands holding the guardrail.
Wu Chengyue immediately turned around and said,
Ling Ling is up!
Seeing him walk over, Wu Yueling stopped walking and just reached out her arms, waiting for him to scoop her up. Wu Chengyue walked to her and carried her in his arms, then rubbed her disheveled soft hair.
Are you hungry? Shall we go wash your face and brush your teeth?
he asked.
Wu Yueling glanced at the two people in the living room, then looked at the gray rabbit which had hopped downstairs, and ultimately nodded.
