Back in Huaxia Base, Si Kongchen had been trying his best to kill the rest of the zombie dominators. Mo Yan the emperor had given him and his people quite a difficult time before. Now, as the emperor was gone, Si Kongchen vented his fury on the other zombies.
In a one on one battle, a zombie dominator had no chance of winning against a level-eight human. At last, Si Kongchen, Lan Lu, and Wu Chengyue all managed to kill the zombie dominator that they were chasing.
Back in the base, Si Kongchen instantly ordered all his people to attack the zombie crowd with all their powers, and also released the anti-zombie drug to clean out those brainless ordinary zombies.
However, due to the huge number of those zombies, it would take a long fight to kill all of them. But, at the very least, the crisis of Huaxia Base was over. Those ordinary zombies didn't give the base any heavy pressure, despite their giant population.
The only thing that had been bothering Si Kongchen was Gao Haoyun's disappearance. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find a trace of that man.
Gao Haoyun was holding some indecent intent toward Lin Qiao. That was why he sneaked into her room. He had all his traces cleaned back then, so no one would know what he did. Therefore, after he was dragged into her space and killed, no clue led to Lin Qiao.
"The zombie emperor has left, and those zombie dominators have died. There's nothing that needs our help around here. Chief Si, don't forget what you promised us." Si Kongchen had a meeting with Lan Lu, Wu Chengyue, and some other people. Both Lan Lu and Wu Chengyue prepared to leave, as their help was no longer needed.
"We have signed an agreement about that. We won't eat our words," Si Kongchen nodded and said expressionlessly.
Earlier, Huaxia Base had signed an agreement with Green Mountain Base, Sea City Base, and All Beings Base. According to the agreement, Huaxia Base would provide the other three bases with a certain amount of supplies or weapons that they needed within three years after Huaxia Base recovered from the damages caused by the massive zombie attack.
Huaxia Base was under attack for over a month. However, since the zombie crowd never broke into the base, the internal structure of the base was barely affected. Apart from a huge consumption of weapons, the base had also suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, Huaxia Base had a rich population, so the death of the tens of thousands of people only affected the entire base at a controllable degree. Many people had been injured, so the medical department had been fighting a rough battle lately. The medical supplies had also been consumed rapidly.
With enough time, even Heilong Base was able to slowly come back to life. Huaxia Base had suffered lighter damages than Heilong Base did, so they would recover in a shorter time.
Lan Lu, Lei Cheng, Ye Yingyue and the others from Green Mountain Base were the first batch to leave Huaxia Base. Meanwhile, Wu Chengyue said that he would also leave soon.
Lin Qiao waited for days, but didn't hear a word from Lin Kui. She figured that he must be facing some kind of problem, and might have failed to find Lin Jing. She guessed that Lin Kui wouldn't return before he had found Lin Jing, so she decided to return to her own base first.
She returned to Sea City Base the same way she came to Huaxia Base. Of course, Wu Chengyue headed back together with her.
In Huaxia Base, Wu Chengyue had kept a distance from her instead of following her tightly. However, back in his own place, he couldn't help but ask Lin Qiao to stay for a few days.
"Since you're already here, why don't you go and visit Ling Ling? She must be missing you," Wu Chengyue smiled. Under the brim of his hat, his chiseled face wore a warm smile. His slender, pretty eyes narrowed slightly, but couldn't hide the glow. His nose was perfectly shaped, and his lips curved in a beautiful arc.
His eyes contained expectations, yet he tried to hide it with a charming smile. Lin Qiao rolled her eyes in her heart but didn't reject him, only giving him a bland glance.
Wu Chengyue took off his hat and handed it to Xiao Licheng, who was behind him.
The hair near his forehead were a little too long, so he had tucked them in his hat earlier. But now, as he took off that hat, the hair fell and reached the corner of his good-looking right eye.
Lin Qiao didn't turn down his invitation because she did promise Ling Ling to come and visit her. She hadn't done that yet, but he always went to her base to see her.
So this time, Lin Qiao planned to do what she had promised the little girl.
"Let's go then," She nodded and said.
The smile on Wu Chengyue's face instantly grew bigger, but he didn't notice that. Xiao Licheng noticed the silly smile on his boss's face, so he silently turned his head away to avoid looking at the latter.
There was a distance between Wu Chengyue's place and where the helicopters landed. Anyway, Xiao Licheng's people had the vehicles prepared long ago.
To show respect to Lin Qiao, they had prepared a car exclusively for her, instead of letting her sit in the same car with Wu Chengyue.
In a couple of minutes, they arrived at the small building that Wu Chengyue lived in. From a distance, they saw a little person sitting on the stairs before the door. Clearly, Wu Yueling knew that her Daddy was coming home. She was sitting there and waiting for him.
A woman in a white dress was standing near the little girl.
Only after she got off the car did Lin Qiao recognize that woman as Meng Yue, the girl who used to follow Wu Chengyue everywhere.
Wu Yueling stood up at the sight of those cars. She was carrying a large ball of fur, even though it might be a little too heavy.
Wu Chengyue walked up to Wu Yueling once he got off the car. Looking at her red little nose, he said to her with concern, "Ling Ling, why don't you stay indoors? It's cold out here."
While speaking, he scooped the little girl up along with the fat rabbit, then rubbed the girl's face affectionately.
Wu Chengyue held the rabbit with both arms. The rabbit was warm, so she didn't feel cold. She heard what Wu Chengyue said and looked at him expressionlessly, then turned to look at the people who came out of those cars.
She abandoned her father once she spotted Lin Qiao among those people. Twisting her little body, she freed herself from her father's embrace, then ran toward Lin Qiao, who had just gotten off the car. The rabbit was still carried in her arms.
Lin Qiao smiled at her, then bent over and lifted her up. After that, she headed toward Wu Chengyue's place.
"Good Ling Ling… Did you miss me?" she asked Wu Yueling while walking.
Wu Yueling narrowed her sparkling eyes and nodded at Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao carried Wu Yueling and walked past Meng Yue, who was standing by the door, entering Wu Chengyue's place. Meng Yue glanced at her with a complicated look, but didn't say anything and followed behind the others.
Before, Wu Yueling wouldn't let anyone but Meng Yue and her father come near her. Recently, the little girl was growing more and more outgoing. Meng Yue had to admit that she felt a little frustrated when she saw the girl rush at Lin Qiao.
But thankfully, she had given up on Wu Chengyue long ago and forgotten about all the fantasies that she had in her mind. So now, she was able to see things in a more reasonable way.
If it weren't for that, what she just saw would make her explode with jealousy.
