In spite of all that, no level-six mutated rats were seen.

Because of those maniacal rats, the expansion of the rat group has slowed down. It’s still expanding though. This area is wasted,
Xie Dong spread the map, picked up a pen, and drew a circle on the map. Then, he put the map on the table and pointed at the circle to show it to Lin Qiao.
So, the threat from those rats still existed.
So troublesome!
Lin Qiao frowned, feeling troubled.
Keep a close eye on them. When the situation in our base gets stable, I’ll send Qiu Lili and the other zombies who’re good at long-range attacks to clear those rats out.



Xie Dong nodded.

This is it,
said Lin Qiao.
Xie Dong stood up knowingly, then picked up the materials that he had brought over and turned to leave. He walked to the door and saw Liu Jun, who was coming in. This time, they didn’t run into each other.
Liu Jun was reading a file in her hands. Once in, she sensed someone coming toward her. She immediately raised her head and saw Xie Dong’s manly and expressionless face, so she nodded to greet him with a faint smile.
Xie Dong nodded slightly at her as a response.
Then, Liu Jun walked straight into the office. While brushing past Xie Dong, the tip of her ponytail accidentally swept across Xie Dong’s face, but the latter didn’t say anything.
Liu Jun had no idea that her hair swept Xie Dong’s face. She walked up to Lin Qiao, put the files on her desk, then sat down on the chair before the desk.

To expand the planting scale, I suggest you to buy some seeds from Sea City Base. They can’t grow anything on themselves anyway. So, they might as well give us their seeds,
said Liu Jun.
Lin Qiao read the file in her hands and signed her name on it, then closed it and put it aside. After that, she picked up Liu Jun’s file and opened it to read it. Thinking about that she may need to do another round of negotiations with Wu Chengyue, and about the latter’s ever-changing mood, she felt exhausted.

Em, I get it. I’ll try,
she sighed and said.


Looking at Lin Qiao’s struggling face, Liu Jun smiled and said,
He didn’t give up, did he?

Lin Qiao raised her eyes and gave Liu Jun a glance while responding,
I feel like he’s on his period. He’s in a constantly changing mood.


This will only do good for Sea City Base,
said Liu Jun,
He has no reason to say no.

All Sea City Base needed to provide was the seeds. All Beings Base would grow the crops on their farm and share the harvests with Sea City Base, three-seven or four-six. Sea City Base had no healthy soil. The seeds might go bad if they kept them, so working with All Beings Base would be a better choice.
Lin Qiao thought for a moment and then said,
We’re short-handed though. How are those level-two zombies doing?

Liu Jun nodded and said,
They can do simple works. Fox and Keng-keng are patient.

After a few days of training, the group of level-two zombies had developed some skills. However, to expand the planting scale, more zombies were needed.
The conversation only lasted a short while, and Liu Jun left after that.
Lin Qiao finished a certain amount of work, then glanced at the sky and found that it was dark again. She dropped the pen and stood up. But, the moment she got up, the darkness came over her eyes.
She hurriedly held the desk to keep herself from falling to the ground. About three seconds later, she could finally see again.


She furrowed her brows and made a deep breath, then stood straight. Only after confirming that the dizziness was gone for good did she start to walk outside.

Tell Lin Hao to come to my room.
She walked out of her office and said to Shen Yujen.

Yes ma’am!
On hearing that, Shen Yujen glanced at her with concern and curiosity. She didn’t dare to ask any questions though. She turned and gave the order to a soldier behind her, then quickly followed Lin Qiao downstairs.
The administration building of the base was no longer in the school area. The new administration building was twenty minutes driving away from the hotel in Base Number Two that Lin Qiao and the other zombies lived in.
On the car, Lin Qiao leaned on the seat and closed her eyes. After that sudden dizziness, she felt a little uncomfortable. A dull pain started to expand slowly from her heart. It wasn’t so serious though.
But still, it gave her a bad feeling. She didn’t know what caused that discomfort, so she pinned her hope on Lin Hao.
Soon, Wu Chengyue heard that Lin Hao had gone to his Chief’s room in secret.

What? What time is it now? Why did he go to her room?
Wu Chengyue asked with a slight frown. The smile on his face was gone.

I don’t know. Maybe Chief Lu is feeling unwell. She’s a zombie. Can Doctor Lin help her?
No other people were in the room, so Xiao Licheng pointed out Lin Qiao’s true nature.
Hearing that, Wu Chengyue started to worry about Lin Qiao. The slight unhappiness caused by Lin Hao was gone. He frowned, thinking about how healthy the zombie lady looked earlier today.


Was something wrong with the baby? Didn’t Lin Hao say that the baby was in a stable condition?
With that thought, Wu Chengyue panicked a little. Yet, he stayed calm and said to Xiao Licheng,
Keep an eye on them. Don’t let them see you.

Xiao Licheng nodded and left.
Wu Chengyue turned and walked into the bedroom, looking at the little lump on the bed. He walked to the bed and pulled Wu Yueling’s blanket slightly downward to let her breath smoothly.
Wu Yueling was in a deep sleep, so she didn’t feel what her father did.
Wu Chengyue quietly went back to the living room. Standing by the window, he couldn’t help but think about what he had just heard about the zombie lady.
…
On the other side of the base, Lin Qiao returned to her room. The frown on her face had grown deeper. She told the others to go out while she herself was sitting in the living room, waiting for Lin Hao. The dull pain from her chest eased her worry a little. At least, the pain wasn’t from her lower belly, meaning that Viney should be fine.
Lin Hao soon arrived with a medical kit, sitting down on the couch by her side.

What is it? What’s wrong?
he asked.


Lin Qiao pressed a hand on her chest and said,
This area is feeling uncomfortable. For a moment, I couldn’t see anything.

Lin Hao’s medical kit was barely useful. After hearing Lin Qiao’s words, he frowned and said,
You should come to my clinic room for a check-up.
Then, he stood up and continued,
Lie down and let me check the baby first.

Lin Qiao was sitting on the long couch. She conveniently turned and lay down, putting her feet on the couch. Lin Hao put a cushion under her neck, then carefully lifted her shirt and exposed her slightly bulged lower belly.
