Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Remembering the Past Again
"Do you really trust that zombie?"
The Base Commander looked at Leng Yebai in surprise.
The Base Commander did not mean to disparage Zhang Yiming, but simply felt that his own son seemed cold and, apart from the Bai Family, didn’t have much interaction with others.
Such a highly destructive weapon falling into the hands of an intelligent Zombie King would be a disaster for humanity.
The Base Commander thought Zhang Yiming was fine, but was not quite reassured to tell him the location.
Why did his own son seem so unhesitant?
"Is there a problem?"
Leng Yebai didn’t feel this idea was inappropriate.
A certain Zombie Emperor was indeed no good, but there was some level of trust.
"Aren’t you afraid he might throw that thing into the Human Survivor Alliance without a second thought?"
The Alliance people intend to use this thing against Zhang Yiming, if Zhang Yiming gets it, would he retaliate in the same way?
The Base Commander felt that if the other side intended to throw this thing at him, he would definitely throw it back.
"If he wanted to destroy the Alliance, he wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble," Leng Yebai said calmly.
The guys who could create a Zombie King are not to be messed with.
If he really stood against humanity, no weapon would be effective.
Leng Yebai maintained his serene demeanor, his tone calm.
But the Base Commander couldn’t help but look at Leng Yebai.
He really increasingly didn’t understand his son.
The people his son trusted the most were definitely the Bai Family, now there’s also Zhang Yiming.
Not to mention where he himself ranked as the father, the Base Commander just felt whether his son was showing off.
Like ordinary people saying how remarkable their friend is!
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a knock at the door.
The base commander and the others stopped talking. Although the office had good soundproofing, the content of their conversation could easily make humans think they were traitors.
Bai Xiqin happened to be standing by the door, seeing that neither the Base Commander nor Leng Yebai were speaking, she opened the door casually.
Standing outside was a girl not much older than Bai Yifan, Zhang Chen.
She wore a simple white T-shirt and jeans, holding a large food container in her hands, and timidly glanced inside the office.
With just one look, she saw the man she hadn’t seen for days.
On that day, the Base Commander told her not to leave the safety base, she thought the Base Commander cared for her, afraid she would be in danger if she went out.
After that day, the Base Commander never spoke a word to her again, even if they met, he looked at her like a stranger, with a cold face.
She also tried to chase after him, but the Base Commander gave her no chance to approach him.
Sometimes, Zhang Chen could see a hint of other emotions in his eyes.
That kind of emotion was very special, neither liking nor aversion, more like a very suppressed restraint.
Zhang Chen didn’t know what he was restraining.
Once, after the Base Commander left the safety base and returned missing an arm, Zhang Chen made soup several times to bring over, but the Base Commander never accepted it.
This time, Zhang Chen came over again.
Her hands looked somewhat red and swollen, focusing too much on making soup, she hadn’t noticed burning her fingers.
"You’re here too! Come and try the soup I made! Mushroom chicken soup, does Xiao Niu like it?"
Zhang Chen didn’t dare to look directly at the Base Commander, and simply smiled at Bai Xiqin.
She thought, maybe she was possessed.
This man, who was older than her without her knowing how much, appeared in her mind every day.
All the happiness she had in this life was short-lived, she never truly experienced peace, the cursed fate had always been fixed on her.
Friends, family, even neighbors would die one after another because of her presence.
Lately, she never dared to get too close to others until one day, she saw the Base Commander.
Although it was their first meeting, she felt they had met before, guided by destiny, also the initial throbbing of her heart.
From then on, she never saw any other man.
Bai Xiqin looked at the dark-faced Base Commander, for a moment not knowing whether she liked or disliked mushroom chicken soup.
Before Bai Xiqin could speak, a thick aroma of chicken soup filled the office.
A bowl of chicken soup with a few slices of mushrooms was handed to Bai Xiqin.
The chicken soup was skimmed of the butter, looking light and non-greasy.
"Thank you."
Finally, Bai Xiqin took the chicken soup.
It was hard to refuse Zhang Chen’s eager little eyes.
"Of course."
Zhang Chen sneaked a glance at the Base Commander, her voice soft.
Everyone in the room was a Superpower User, the voice, no matter how soft, was enough for all to hear.
Zhang Chen served another bowl and handed it to Leng Yebai.
Seeing Bai Xiqin sipping sweetly, Leng Yebai also accepted it.
Watching Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin both take the chicken soup, Zhang Chen’s smile grew brighter.
Only, that smile was somewhat tainted with the radiance of motherhood.
A small pot of chicken soup wasn’t much, precisely three bowls, Zhang Chen carefully set the last bowl in front of the Base Commander.
"Try it, if it’s not good, I’ll make it again."
Zhang Chen’s voice was very low, very gentle.
Fresh chicken was not easy to buy, Zhang Chen had been listening to the Base Commander all this time.
He said, don’t leave the safe base, and she really didn’t go out.
Always living off what she had, luckily her Superpower was strong enough, and she had gathered quite a few crystal cores before, enough to sustain her life.
"Take it away, don’t bring it again. If everyone in the base did the same as you, coming over to bother me every day, how could I keep being the Base Commander?"
Upon seeing Zhang Chen, the Base Commander instinctively frowned, emanating a gloomy aura.
He didn’t know if what was written on that note was true or false, nor if Wang Ge really possessed resurrection technology.
But seeing Zhang Chen, the Base Commander’s heart ached uncontrollably.
His wife might have a chance to be resurrected.
The crucial piece was the thing in Zhang Chen’s head.
Who wouldn’t want their wife to be resurrected?
Every time he saw Zhang Chen, the Base Commander’s heart felt unbearable pain.
He recalled past events.
The most vibrant woman in the world shouldn’t be lying in a cold basement.
She should open her eyes, walk out of the cold basement, see the outside sunlight, and see her son has grown up...
The Base Commander shut his eyes, refusing to think further, his face still direly gloomy.
He was really on the verge of losing control.
If only that time Wang Ge hadn’t attacked his son, and his zombie had scratched Leng Yebai’s leg, intending to take his son’s life.
Wang Ge wanted the Bai Family in exchange.
Otherwise, the Base Commander would have already lost reason and agreed to join Wang Ge’s team.
"I didn’t mean anything else, just try the soup I made, it’s very tasty, your body needs nourishment."
The Base Commander’s empty left arm seemed light as air, and Zhang Chen’s heart was also hollow.
She understood that the Base Commander didn’t see her, but for now, she really just wanted him to drink something nutritious.
"Take it away, get lost."
The Base Commander abruptly opened his eyes, a trace of hostility flashing in them.
He was never a man of gentle words, only gentle in front of his son and daughter-in-law.
In essence, he was still that proud and powerful super strong individual.
He was the recognized powerful figure in the Alliance, Deputy Leader of the Human Survivor Alliance, Leng Xiao.
