Feeling the changes of Bao Xiaoguo and the female zombie, the others all came over and gathered behind Lin Qiao, curiously watching the two of them.
Lin Qiao quietly glanced at Pesticide, who took the opportunity to sneak into the living room.
As a result, the latter was immediately frightened. He quickly turned, prepared to run away.
“Don’t run… Get in! From now on, you’re allowed to play in here. But, you cannot go upstairs,” Lin Qiao said to him blandly.
Hearing that, Pesticide, who had sneaked to the door side, immediately paused, then turned back and looked at Lin Qiao with a delightful surprise.
Lin Qiao had already turned back to the female zombie without responding to the look in his eyes. He gathered his courage and sneaked back, then stuck his head out from behind Lu Tianyi to look at the female zombie.
The others had all been attracted by the change that was happening to the female zombie. They had all been quietly waiting for the final result to be shown.
…
At that moment, the leaders of Huaxia Base were having a secret meeting.
“Only Sky Fire Base, Green Mountain Base, and Hidden Cloud City Base tried to bargain. Sky Fire Base seemed to have the same intention, but didn’t seem confident enough,” Liu Zhinan said while reading the files in his hands with a bland face. The smile which he wore earlier during the show was gone.
“That’s within our expectations. Besides, they don’t seem eager to make the deal with us,” Hu Zhiyong said, also with a bland tone.
Bang! A loud noise was heard, caused by a palm hitting against the table which was made from solid wood. In the quiet conference room, the noise sounded deafening.
Si Kongchen banged the table and said through clenched teeth with a very sour face, “Do they think that they can force us to lower the price because they have gotten the goods on us? In their dreams! We will never lower the price!”
“But, the squad member called Erwei is very likely to be in their hands now. If they question us about that, we won’t be able to explain what happened. Do you think that we can get them convinced by simply refusing to admit it? Let’s not talk about Lu Zhuofeng, who’s not so smart, Wu Chengyue and the mysterious Lan Lu are both not easy to deal with,” Hu Zhiyong glanced at Si Kongchen as a scornful look flashed across his eyes.
“What do you mean? Are you trying to say that we shouldn’t do that? Now you are regretting it. Didn’t you all approve it back then?” Si Kongchen noticed the scornful look in his eyes and then stared at him with a sneer.
“Ah, I didn’t say that! Do not try to pass the buck to us, okay? You selected that elite squad. Why did something like that happen? I’m very curious about it. You didn’t send a squad of commoners to carry the mission, did you?” Hu Zhiyong didn’t care about his gaze, but responded with a faint smile.
Si Kongchen turned his eyes away and snorted coldly, “You have checked all the squad members. Could any of you foresee what happened? I couldn’t. That squad was even able to get out of a zombie city alive. There is one thing that I can say for sure—someone is behind all this.”
“That’s clear. We can all see that. But, who took Macuy away?” Liu Zhinan joined the conversation.
“Reasonably, the one who planned all this should be one of the three. However, we can’t rule out the possibility that it could be someone else. Where is that squad member hiding? He’s a living human being. Why couldn’t we find any trace of him? I think they have a live space,” Si Kongchen said blandly.
“From the disappearance of the squad to Macuy’s runaway, to the death of the research team members, then to the abnormal behavior of those level-three zombies during the show… These events can all be connected, yet we couldn’t even find a clue. Who on earth has been disrespecting us so terribly? Hehe…” Han Xiao abruptly laughed with an unknown meaning.
At that moment, Hou Guozhong, who was outside the conference room, received a secret message, saying that the zombie prison under the square was invaded. The damage wasn’t serious though. Only a few guards and an ordinary zombie had gone missing.
However, that sounded somehow weird.
Hou Guozhong immediately turned and opened the door of the conference room.
Meanwhile on the other side of the base, in the building where the other base leaders lived…
It was late at night, but Wu Yueling was still sitting on the bed energetically, playing with her grass doll. Wu Chengyue was lying on the other side of the bed, leaning against the headboard and reading a book. He unwittingly glanced at his watch, then said to Wu Yueling, “Ling Ling, let’s sleep! Aren’t you tired?”
Wu Yueling held the grass doll with both hands and turned, looking at her father with a pair of large, sparkling eyes before shaking her head.
Wu Chengyue had gotten used to seeing his daughter play with the grass doll. But somehow, every time he saw his daughter put down her hair and hold that grass doll, he felt very weird.
He felt that his daughter looked like a little witch! Couldn’t she get another doll?
However, he clearly knew that Wu Yueling treasured that grass doll, because it was a gift from the female zombie.
He was still curious about what exactly had happened between his daughter and that female zombie. Why did the female zombie change so much after turning into a zombie? And, what did she do to his daughter? She had even won over his baby girl’s heart?
“Good girl… If you don’t get enough sleep, you wouldn’t be able to grow up,” Wu Chengyue coaxed the little girl while thinking.
Wu Yueling glanced at him, then at the grass doll. At last, she went to sleep obediently. She put the grass doll next to herself, then lay down by Wu Chengyue’s side and closed her eyes.
“Good Ling Ling!” Wu Chengyue bent over and kissed her on the forehead, then put the book aside, prepared to turn off the light and go to sleep.
At that moment, Wu Yueling reached her hands to the other side of the bed which was empty, then suddenly came up with an idea.
‘Ah, there is a lot of space on the bed! The wind is coming in. It’s cold at night!’
She abruptly sat up and fixed her large, glowing eyes on Wu Chengyue.
Before turning off the light, Wu Chengyue found the kid suddenly sit up and pop her eyes to look at him, as if she had thought of something.
Wu Yueling patted the empty part of the bed, then looked at him expectantly.
“What’s wrong?” Wu Chengyue looked at her confusedly, then at the empty part of the bed. Nothing was there.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Wu Chengyue patted the bed again, her eyes revealing some kind of need. However, she didn’t know how to explain herself with language. As Wu Chengyue failed to understand her meaning, she immediately got anxious.
However, she didn’t get too emotional, but had her expression change. With disappointment, she gave Wu Chengyue a glare.
‘Daddy is dumb!’
“Eh? What is going on?” Being glared at in this way, Wu Chengyue scratched his head with confusion.
