Zombie Sister Strategy

Before leaving, Wu Chengyue looked deeply into her eyes. Lin Qiao detected something different from that look in his eyes, but she still didn’t believe that he would like her for real.

She was not a little girl anymore, but a mature and rational person. She always considered romantic relationships less important than the affection between family members and long-term friends. She hardly trusted other people, especially a man who aggressively tried to invade her life.

Therefore, when Wu Chengyue started pursuing her, she instinctively thought about his purposes, and couldn’t help but feel repulsion.

Yang Jianhua wasn’t the only person who had betrayed her. She had suffered betrayal before the apocalypse too. She hated Yang Jianhua so much. Fortunately, she lost her memories for a while, and that gave her the space to accept what happened slowly. Otherwise, it would take her a lot of energy to struggle out of the frustration.

Therefore, she rejected Wu Chengyue directly when she found that he was having some other purposes. She didn’t care if he liked her with his true heart now.

“No.” She shook her head carelessly after hearing what Liu Jun said, “He’s been annoying me the whole time. I wish he’ll never bother me again.”

Wu Chengyue had been pursuing her for months, yet she still had no special feelings for him. The look that Wu Chengyue had in his eyes before leaving actually made her feel relieved.

She felt that he was about to give up.

“You have stopped aging now,” Liu Jun clicked her tongue and said, “Are you gonna always stay alone?” She looked at Lin Qiao and said.

How lonely and empty would that be? Her heart might be corroded by loneliness.

Liu Jun felt lucky as she had her son. She couldn’t imagine how dull her zombie life would be without her son.

“Me? Who said that I’m alone? I have a family… What about you? When will you find Tongtong a father? It’s hard for you to raise him alone,” Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and then threw the question back to Liu Jun.

Superpowered people could live longer than commoners, that was for sure. High-leveled zombies might be able to live even longer than them!

“Me? I’m good now. I have a job, and everything I need. I’m able to raise my Tongtong. He doesn’t need a father!” Liu Jun instinctively felt repulsion toward that idea. Whether she could manage to raise her son alone or not, she wouldn’t be with any man right now. She would need her son’s approval for that! Tongtong was still too young to make that kind of decision.

“Alright! If you have no other important things, just leave. I’m busy here. I have no time for this gossip,” Lin Qiao urged her to leave.

During the past few days, Lin Hao and Wu Chengyue had argued in her office all the time. She couldn’t even focus on her work, so her work had piled up already. Now, as they had both left, she finally had some time to deal with the accumulated work.

“Alright. I was just trying to say that if you like Chief Wu a little bit, you need to make a move, before anyone else does. God knows how many women in Sea City Base have been drooling over him. I hope you won’t regret when he’s taken by someone else,” Liu Jun stood up and left her a few words, then opened the door and left.

“What the hell! Whoever wants him can have him! I won’t regret!” Lin Qiao looked at the closed door, feeling speechless.

In the next couple of days, Wu Chengyue did not show up again. Qiu Lili and the others returned in three days, handing Lin Qiao a baby-fist-sized, green energy nucleus. The energy contained in that level-seven plan nucleus was immense.

“You have no idea how many vines that plant had. Those thick and strong vines covered the entire park, as hard as steel. We couldn’t cut them off!” Qiu Lili and the others returned in bad shapes. She first went back to her room to take a shower and change into clean clothes, then came to Lin Qiao’s office.

She was a little unhappy, maybe because the vine plant had dirtied her clothes.

“So how did you guys kill it?” Lin Qiao asked curiously while observing the nucleus in her hand.

It was as same as how Lin Wenwen described it. Lin Wenwen seemed to have really developed her second superpower, the power of predicting the future. It looked like that power needed to be triggered by extrinsic factors.

“She did it. She turned invisible and hid her vibe, then sneaked near the plant’s heart and dug out its nucleus!” Qiu Lili pointed at Yun Meng, who was standing by her side.

Yun Meng nodded and added, “The plant’s vines were powerful, but its main body was harmless. It wasn’t able to defend its heart actually. The nucleus was growing on a branch like a fruit, and I cut it off easily!”

Yun Meng was pretty surprised too.

“How did you know that it was there? Have you been there?” Qiu Lili asked.

“No, someone told me. I asked you to go not just for this nucleus, but also prove something else,” Lin Qiao shook her head and said.

She wanted to know if what Lin Wenwen said was real.

“Alright.”

It was the middle of April. The air temperature had raised a little, but only for the daytime. The nights were still icy-cold.

Lin Qiao made no big move recently. One side of her base was already built up, and the other side was currently in construction.

Lei Cheng and Ye Yingyue from Green Mountain Base had returned to their base with Lin Qiao’s message, and run a discussion with Lan Lu and two other chairmen. At last, they decided to accept her offer, and take a group of zombies to All Beings Base.

As the zombie emperor had left, the zombie-clearing mission in Huaxia Base was running smoothly. No more zombies joined the crowd, so it only took them half a month to clear out a big half of the zombies near their base.

The dead zombies were either burned or buried deep underground.

At the same time, the reconstruction of Heilong Base was going stably as well. That base wouldn’t be able to regain its vitality within a short time, but they managed to clean out all the zombies in their base and save their farm. With all the people they had, the base would be able to recover from the disaster in a year or so.

Sea City Base stayed the same with no changes happening. Unlike it, the atmosphere was a little tense in Sky Fire Base. One of their leaders had gone missing, like what happened to the leaders of Hidden Cloud City.

Sky Fire Base had three leaders. He Mu had vanished in Earth Dragon Base, and recently, Gu Yikang, the other leader, had disappeared as well.

As the last leader of the base, Li Zhengye had been having a constantly increasing sense of crisis. He had seen the ends of Earth Dragon Base and Hidden Cloud City, and had a feeling that the Sky Fire Base would be the next to follow that path.
