Two people had their eyes fixed on Lin Qiao ever since they left Lin Hao's office. She abruptly stopped walking, then turned and looked at the two of them as she said, "What are you two looking at? Jen, go to the front and scout around. I can't let the others see me now."

"Oh, I get it," Shen Yujen paused briefly as Lin Qiao suddenly turned around and talked to her, then nodded and responded. If people found out that the leader of the base was pregnant, the news might spread and some unnecessary trouble night be caused.

So, irrelevant people should be kept away from wherever Lin Qiao would be.

After watching Shen Yujen leave, Duan Juan said to Lin Qiao, "I can't believe that you're still able to get pregnant. Can your body provide the baby with nourishment?"

Duan Juan had recovered from the shock, and now she stared at Lin Qiao's belly with great curiosity as she continued, "You're seven months pregnant at least, right? Or, eight months? Em… is this baby growing like normal human babies?"

Lin Qiao looked at her and said, "Well, if you count the months… I'm about ten-months pregnant, I think."

Duan Juan slightly widened her eyes, then asked in a gossipy way, "Who's the father? The baby didn't just suddenly emerge from your womb, did it?"

Lin Qiao turned and kept walking without saying anything.

Duan Juan continued, "So, Chief Wu has no chance at all. I thought he'd win your heart. Eh… does he know that you have been having a secret boyfriend? Oh, I think he must be heartbroken to see your belly now, right?"

While walking, Lin Qiao clicked her tongue and responded impatiently, "Isn't it weird that you always gossip with such a serious face? Can you please stop asking questions? You're so annoying!"

Duan Juan pressed her lips together and then said, "Alright, I'll stop. I'll be waiting for the father to show up. I'll meet him sooner or later. I doubt you can keep him secret for any longer!"

Duan Juan was Lin Qiao's subordinate, but also her friends for years. Therefore, she had all the courage to gossip about the latter.

Lin Qiao brought Duan Juan out of the medical department through a secret path, then quickly got into the car. The irrelevant people had been asked to leave by Shen Yujen and Lin Qiao's guards, so one saw her.

In the car, Lin Qiao put a hand on her belly and couldn't help but complain, "You ate too much and got fat! Now, it's difficult to give birth to you! From now on, you need to decrease your energy absorption."

She decided to make Wu Chengyue stay as far away from her as possible!

With that thought, she immediately said to Shen Yujen, who hadn't gotten into the car, "Make sure that Wu Chengyue's room is away from me, but not over two-hundred meters away."

"Eh?" Shen Yujen looked at her confusedly.

"Isn't that clear? Do as I said," Lin Qiao said.

"Oh, I get it," Shen Yujen nodded. Having finished talking, she turned and left.

Duan Juan prepared to stop the car, but Lin Qiao told her to wait a minute.

"What's wrong?" Duan Juan didn't understand why.

Her Chief had disappeared for two months. Now, she returned as a pregnant zombie, and her behavior had turned weird.

"Just wait," Lin Qiao glanced at the medical department. Feeling that Wu Chengyue's vibe had come out of the front yard, she said, "Okay, now go."

Duan Juan started the car.

On the other side, Wu Chengyue looked around but didn't see Lin Qiao, so he asked Xiao Licheng, "Where are they?"

Xiao Licheng shrugged and said, "I don't know. Maybe they went home. Why did they let us stay in Base Number Two this time? Aren't we always staying in Base Number One?"

Base Number Two was the secret zone of the base, and the two of them were outsiders. Was it really okay for them to stay there? Thinking about all kinds of weird zombies who lived in Base Number Two, Xiao Licheng was a little worried.

"What is there to be worried about? They weren't afraid to let us stay here, so why should we be afraid to do so? If we see something that we shouldn't be seeing, we'll pretend not to see it, and won't tell things that we shouldn't be telling," said Wu Chengyue. If he didn't stay in Base Number Two, the zombie lady would have to stay in Base Number One together with him. In that case, her condition could easily be exposed to others. So, it was better for him to stay in Base Number Two.

The medical department that was located in Base Number One was about ten minutes' drive away from Base Number Two. Soon, they drove through the gate in the tall wall between the two parts of the base, after which, Xiao Licheng was a little lost.

"They haven't told us where we're gonna stay yet. They didn't even send anyone to guide us. Where are we going now?"

"Go straight to where they live," said Wu Chengyue.

"Oh," Xiao Licheng nodded.

Soon, they caught up with another car. That should be the zombie lady who just came out of the medical department.

The car stopped, and Lin Qiao got off the car, holding her belly with a hand. Shen Yujen was already there. She attempted to help Lin Qiao, but the latter waved a hand to signal for her not to do it. She didn't need help yet.

She saw Wu Chengyue, who had Wu Yueling in his arms. "You are going to stay in my building. Deploy a few more men to protect Ling Ling," she walked to him and said.

They were in a zombie zone. The zombies who lived in that area were all able to control themselves, but she still had to stay careful to prevent accidents.

"I get it," Wu Chengyue curved his lips in a familiar smile and nodded.

"Your rooms are ready. Please come with me," Shen Yujen walked to him and said.

Wu Chengyue gave Lin Qiao a glance, then turned and followed Shen Yujen upstairs together with Xiao Licheng. Lin Qiao detected some hidden meanings from his glance. She couldn't help but recall the suggestion that Lin Hao gave her earlier, and pulled a long face.

What the hell was that ridiculous suggestion? How could he sell his sister out like that?

She noticed that perky look on Wu Chengyue's face. She did not need his help! She could always have a Cesarean birth! Also, she would reduce Viney's energy absorption from now on!

Upstairs, she said to Duan Juan, "I'm not going to Base Number One for now. Tell them to come here if they need me."

"I understand," Duan Juan nodded.

While the two of them were walking upstairs, a figure darted out from the stairwell and pressed Duan Juan down to the ground before she could even react.

"Ouch!" Duan Juan gave a muffled moan. Her back thudded against the ground, making her suffer a slight pain and an awful dizziness. She could even see stars in her eyes.

"Don not bite her!" Lin Qiao hurriedly gave a roar.

Hearing her voice, Duan Juan came back to her senses. She found a strange male zombie lying upon her with his mouth wide open, preparing to give her a bite on the face. He had paused, maybe because he heard Lin Qiao's order.

The young male zombie closed his mouth as Lin Qiao forbade him from biting Duan Juan. He stared at the other regrettably. As Duan Juan and Lin Qiao thought that he was going to get up, he suddenly let out his tongue and licked Duan Juan's cheek.

Duan Juan's right cheek was instantly covered in zombie saliva, leaving her stunned.
