Wu Chengyue walked into the bathroom, wearing a knowing smile.
If he were right, the female zombie had already gotten into his room. He knew her daughter so well. Judging by the weird behavior of hers, he quickly figured it out.
It seemed that the female zombie had come out of her space. She didn’t show her face, and he guessed that was because she didn’t want to see him. However, she did care about Ling Ling. ‘Why doesn’t she care about me?’
Wu Chengyue thought , ‘Does she think that she can escape her responsibility toward me if she doesn’t show up? Eh?’
‘I’d like to see how long she can hide!’
Lin Qiao had no idea that Wu Chengyue was planning to stay here. She went to the fifth floor and knocked on Liu Jun’s door, then waited for the latter’s response. Soon, the door was opened.
Liu Jun was puzzled for a moment when she found no one outside the door, but she figured it out soon enough.
Captain?
She had been calling Lin Qiao Captain now.
Calling Lin Qiao Miss. Lu made her feel weird, because she knew that Lu Tianyu wasn’t her real name. However, she could not call her Lin Qiao, as that might arouse some people’s suspicions.
Lin Qiao pushed her into the room, then walked further in to take a glance at Tongtong, who was sleeping in the bed.
It’s alright, just leave him here and let him sleep,
Liu Jun figured that Lin Qiao might have noticed Tongtong.
Lin Qiao nodded, then brought her into the space. After that, she asked her to wait in the living room in the building, and then exited the space.
This time, she went onto the roof.
Qiu Lili and Mengmeng were sitting on the roof. They two weren’t paying attention to the surrounding area, so Lin Qiao sneakily approached them and directly brought them into the space.
By the time the two realized what happened, they were already in Lin Qiao’s space.
Roar?
Mengmeng didn’t react immediately and looked around with confusion.
Eh? You’re out!
Qiu Lili reacted much more quickly as she looked at Lin Qiao and asked.
Lin Qiao nodded, then brought them into the small building.
Get in here. I need to talk to you.
Since she could not go out to face that man for now, she had no choice but to avoid him. Also, it was about the time for her to make a trip to the South.
Qiu Lili and Mengmeng followed her into the living room and sat on a couch.
Lin Qiao sat down as well, then said to the others,
I’m going to head South in a couple of days, so I need to talk to you about the works that you’re going to do when I’m not here. Lili, would you like to go with me or stay here?
She asked for Qiu Lili’s opinions the first because the latter was the strongest one among them all. She could either be very helpful to Lin Qiao in the South, or serve as a great protector of the new base site.
But of course, her choice had to be made willingly.
Qiu Lili immediately raised a hand and responded,
I’m going with you!
Lin Qiao nodded and said,
Okay! When you have left, this place will have no guards. I don’t trust Yuan Tianxing’s power. If a level-seven enemy like that robber showed up, Yuan Tianxing, Lin Feng, and Chen Yuting wouldn’t possibly win, not even when combined.
Qiu Lili paused and thought for a second. She felt that Lin Qiao was right. The new base site did need a powerful guard.
What should we do then? I want to go with you,
she said.
Lin Qiao looked at her and said,
If you want to go with me, I’ll have no choice but to make the others stronger. I can bring Mengmeng up to the peak of level-six, but we need a lot of energy nuclei to do that.
While speaking, she glanced at Mengmeng who was listening to their conversation confusedly.
Hearing Lin Qiao talk about upgrading her, she immediately got excited. She hurriedly took out a small bag and opened it, showing Lin Qiao what was inside.
Lin Qiao took a glance at it; it was a little cloth bag for jewelry. She didn’t know where Mengmeng found it. But, the bag was full of sparkling energy nuclei.
Except for a large number of level three or four nuclei, there were at least three level-five nuclei in it.
Roar?
Mengmeng asked Lin Qiao expectantly. ‘Are these enough?’
Lin Qiao looked into the bag, then slightly shook her head,
No.
Hearing that, Qiu Lili took a few level-five zombie nuclei out of her little purse.
Add these?
she asked.
Lin Qiao nodded and said,
These are about enough. But, can you stay here to guard our home well?
Mengmeng didn’t answer her question, but turned to look at Qiu Lili.
Qiu Lili looked at her and asked,
Em, why are you looking at me? Aren’t you supposed to answer Qiaoqiao’s question?
Lin Qiao smiled,
I think she wants to know what you think.
Qiu Lili rolled her eyes and said,
Of course I want you to stay here, because you’re powerful too. Those three men wouldn’t be able to win against a level-seven enemy. But if you join them, you guys would have a chance. You might still not win, but I guess that the enemy would not gain much of an advantage either.
Lin Qiao nodded and said,
She’s right.
Mengmeng looked at them, seeming a bit reluctant. However, she didn’t make a sound to reject. Clearly, she had accepted the mission. Lin Qiao was going to upgrade her anyway, so she decided to see this as a trade.
Lin Qiao figured out what she was thinking.
I’ll upgrade you, so you should at least work for me,
said Lin Qiao,
Otherwise, I won’t upgrade you.
Roar!
Mengmeng roared at Lin Qiao with discontent, then bared her teeth. ‘I get it!
‘
Good!
Lin Qiao nodded.
After that, she turned to say to Liu Jun,
Junjun, after I leave, you need to tell Yuan Tianxing and the others about my action. And then, you’ll be a translator between them and this one. Keep an eye on her.
Me?
Liu Jun pointed at herself with surprise, also glancing at Mengmeng. She didn’t think she could handle Mengmeng.
Lin Qiao shook her head and smiled,
It’ll be alright. Just tell them that I asked you to do it.
Alright, I’ll try,
Liu Jun nodded without confidence.
Mengmeng was at a much higher level than she was. However, she wasn’t so smart. So, Liu Jun believed that she would figure out a way to make the other listen to her.
Lin Qiao then continued to Xie Dong and Shen Yujen,
You two will lead a few zombies to plant potatoes and pumpkins. I’ll ask Mengmeng to keep an eye on those zombies for you. If they disobey you, you can ask Mengmeng to punish them. You don’t need to kill them as long as they don’t hurt the humans in the city. If any of them hurts a human, kill it directly. You don’t need to wait for me to make that decision. Do you understand?
She looked at Xie Dong and Shen Yujen, then at Mengmeng. The first two both nodded. But Mengmeng only gave her a glance.
Xie Dong and Shen Yujen were fine with their mission.
Then, as Lin Qiao waved a hand, a few books appeared on the table.
These are the books about how to grow crops that I had collected earlier. You can read them. I’ll leave you a few zombies with earth power and water power. As for the others, I’ll take them with me.
