Chapter 843: Mutated Rats

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wu Chengyue, who had returned to Sea City Base, was really a little disheartened. Even though the zombie lady hadn’t responded to him, he used to believe that he still had a chance. But now, he was less confident. She was never so close to another guy before.

Her relationship with Doctor Lin was better than Wu Chengyue imagined. She even told that doctor about her baby. She trusted the doctor so much, and that made Wu Chengyue feel uneasy.

Wu Chengyue knew that she and the doctor weren’t friends or family. They didn’t even know each other before. However, she believed him so much that she even told him the big secret about her zombie nature and pregnancy.

Wu Chengyue also knew that the zombie lady wouldn’t possibly tell anyone about that if she didn’t trust that person a hundred percent. She wasn’t even planning on telling Wu Chengyue about it!

Thinking of that, Wu Chengyue was upset. There was a strange atmosphere when the zombie lady was with the doctor. He felt as if he wasn’t welcomed in their world.

During the past few days, he felt very uncomfortable every time he sensed how familiar those two were with each other. Therefore, he decided to leave. He didn’t want to see the two of them being together anymore. He needed to rest.

Back in Sea City Base, Wu Yueling was unhappy again. She wanted to be with her Zombie Mommy. However, the things between her Daddy and her Zombie Mommy seemed to be weird.

Wu Yueling was too young to understand those grown-up things. However, as a sensitive, autistic child, she could detect the changes in the surrounding environment more sharply than the other kids. She had clearly sensed the strange atmosphere between Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue, and how their tones of speaking had changed slightly.

She felt those changes, but didn’t dare to do anything.

Wu Chengyue sat on his couch, looking at Wu Yueling in the eyes. He knew that she was unhappy again. He sighed and held his daughter in his arms.

“Ling Ling, what if Zombie Mommy doesn’t like Daddy, but likes someone else? She might be with that person, and not us,” Wu Chengyue said to her frustratedly.

On hearing that, Wu Yueling instantly popped her eyes and then quickly grasped Wu Chengyue’s sleeves while shaking his head anxiously.

“I’m sad too. But, Daddy can’t do anything now. She already dislikes me. What if I did something wrong and made her hate me?” Wu Chengyue said.

He came home so quickly because he had been trying to control his temper all the time. He was worried that he might lose his temper if he stayed longer. Things would be awful if he lost control and did something to hurt the zombie lady.

“Oi, why are you back home so soon? I thought you’d stay there for half a month at least.” A resonant voice was heard, following which, the tall and strong Xiao Yunlong walked in.

“I was worried that I might kick somebody’s ass if I stayed there,” Wu Chengyue responded without looking at him.

“Ah, I heard about that… haha! A young and handsome doctor recently showed up around Miss. Lu,” Xiao Yunlong headed straight to the point that Wu Chengyue did not want to talk about with a naughty grin on his face.

Wu Chengyue looked at him expressionlessly, then curved his lips in a fake smile and said, “I heard that Yue is pretty close with Kong Qingming lately. Aren’t you afraid that she might be stolen from you?”

His fightback didn’t work this time as Xiao Yunlong responded carelessly, “Don’t you worry about that. Qingming is in love with some other girl. He won’t cast his eyes on my Yue.”

Wu Chengyue found his confident smile so annoying that he even wanted to hit him.

“So, did you admit defeated and run back home? Are you gonna give up?” Xiao Yunlong sat on the couch and looked at him curiously.

“That’s impossible!” ‘She’s pregnant with my baby! How can I ever give up?’ he thought as he answered Xiao Yunlong’s question without thinking.

“Why did you come back then?” Xiao Yunlong was even more curious than before.

“I don’t want to push her too hard, in case she hates me. I need to create some space between us for now. You, make some arrangements to talk to them about how to divide our hunting field. The weather is getting warm, and the zombie hunting season is coming,” said Wu Chengyue.

While speaking, the look on his face turned grim again. “I feel that mutated animals have been evolving quickly during the past winter. There’re more and more level-seven mutated plants and animals to be seen recently.”

That was not a good thing. Those mutated creatures were even harder to deal with than zombies. If they evolved even faster than before, they would become another big problem for humans. The success rate of the zombie-hunting missions would reduce again.

Speaking of that, Xiao Yunlong wore a serious look too. “I was going to tell you about the news that I newly received. Half a month ago, a level-three zombie-hunting group from Outer C sent out a team. Only three of them managed to make it back while the others all died.”

“A team? All died?” Wu Chengyue narrowed his eyes. His face wasn’t showing a very sullen look, but a faintly detected depression did flash across his face.

Normally, a zombie-hunting team had twenty to fifty people in three squads; each squad had ten to twelve people.

Xiao Yunlong nodded and said, “Yes. The team leader is a level-six fire-powered man, and there were four level-five people. The other members were all at level two or three, while about ten of them were commoners. Today, only two level-five and one commoner came back to the base. The others all died.”

He looked a little depressed while saying that. “According to those three, they accidentally fell into the nest of some mutated rats. Those rats were twice the size of cats, with a huge population. Many of them were at level five or six. Those rats are able to drill into the ground, and their teeth were sharp enough to break sharp tungsten steel weapons. It was lucky for them to survive.”

Hearing that, Wu Chengyue knitted his brows into a deep frown. What made him worry wasn’t how fast those rats could be or how strong their teeth were. Instead, it was their number. As Xiao Yunlong just said, there was a huge population of rats.

The fertility of rats was as great as their viability. Therefore, the large size of the rat group really made him worry.

“What exactly happened? Have they seen how many rats there were? How big was the nest?” Wu Chengyue asked with a frown.

“That’s what I’m here to tell you about. They said that they only saw a corner of the nest, They were scared by that huge group of rats that gushed out from underground, so they failed to react in time. Those rats were all huge, strong, and swift. Imagine it. When a huge group of rats come at you, superpower attacks won’t work. All they could do was defend. There were too many rats!” Xiao Yunlong told Wu Chengyue what he knew while thinking about the terrified look on the three survivors’ faces.
