231 Stingy Man

After entering her space, Lin Qiao let go of Xie Dong, then closed her eyes, turned herself invisible, and went outside. Hearing the young female zombie's unhappy and unruly roars, she only gave a faint smile. Then, she turned around and leaped off the building to leave. 

She needed to accomplish her task. Lu Tianyi, his people, and the little one had disrupted her plans multiple times, so she hadn't gotten the time to look for the information about supply storages. 

On the other side, Lu Tianyi asked Xiao Yunlong while moving forward with his team, "How did you run into that zombie queen? What power does it have?"

The others also curiously turned to Xiao Yunlong who was carrying Meng Yue. They all wanted to know how he let the zombie take away the little princess. 

Xiao Yunlong replied, "It came to us, and even Meng Yue didn't sense it. By the time we discovered it, it was already at our door. We jumped out of the window, but it was swift and traceless. We drove the car, but before we could go far, it turned our car upside down. Meng Yue and Ling Ling were in the car. When I got there, Ling Ling had disappeared."

Having finished talking, he lowered his head, seeming to be a little upset. 

Wu Chengyue carried his daughter as he rubbed her back. He sensed that the energy inside her daughter's body seemed to be reaching a breakthrough. He wondered if his daughter's power was going to be triggered. 

He turned to look at Lu Tianyi and the others, then asked, "That…with that woman…How did you meet Ling Ling and that zombie queen? And you were brave enough to take Ling Ling back from it...How did you do that?"

Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming both smiled. "Not us, it was her alone," Lu Tianyi said. Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong looked at them with surprise, waiting for their explanation. 

"She has a space," said Kong Qingming, "We were in somewhere else half a month ago. We were caught by a group of level-five zombies, and were driven to Upper City District. She showed up suddenly and saved all of us. Afterward, we rested in her space. We don't know what happened before she brought Ling Ling in the space." 

Hearing that, Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong glanced at each other, then turned to look at Ling Ling. Wu Chengyue sighed in relief gratefully, then said, "Fortunately, the zombie queen didn't hurt Ling Ling, or…"

"What plan do you have right now?" Asked Xiao Yunlong, "I think your zombie nucleus is stolen, isn't it? Should we go find another level-six zombie? Speaking of which, I think you're too stingy. She saved Ling Ling, yet you tried to hold onto the zombie nucleus. It's not too much at all to pay her with the zombie nucleus for your daughter's life, is it?"

Even though the conversations that Xiao Yunlong heard just now at the roof confused him, but from those, he still learned something important—the woman who was bitten by Wu Chengyue stole his zombie nucleus. Judging by how angry he was, she should have stolen that thunder-powered nucleus. 

The others all nodded in agreement. 

"True!" Those people didn't know that the nice and gentle Wu Chengyue could actually be so stingy. Wu Chengyue glanced at Xiao Yunlong with a faint smile while saying, "Is this the first day you came to know me? Besides, haven't I let her go? I've thanked her…and if she ever needs my help in the future, I'll help her."

Xiao Yunlong rolled his eyes and responded, "You bit her! You lost the fight, and you actually bit her! I can't even believe that you did it!"

Wu Chengyue gave him a sideways glance, then smiled and said, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." 

Xiao Yunlong immediately turned to a wall and said, "You're a stingy man… You're always like that! Don't deny!" 

At the moment, the others had all been eyeing Wu Chengyue with surprise. They somehow felt that they had known something important, and began to worry if he would kill them to keep them silent. 

Wu Chengyue smiled again and replied, "Yeah, I'm always stingy, so what? Let's return to our campsite as soon as possible. Meng Yue isn't doing good. Why did you bring her here?" 

Xiao Yunlong glanced at Meng Yue who was lying on his back, then said, "We came here to tell you what happened to Ling Ling, but it started raining. And, I don't know if the zombie queen will go back to the campsite or not."

Wu Chengyue glanced at him, remaining silent. But suddenly, he recalled the rabbit which jumped out of Ling Ling's arms earlier, and felt that it looked familiar. 

Why didn't that woman eat the rabbit? Why did she keep it? He felt that he just couldn't understand women. 

On the other side, Lin Qiao spent a few days in searching through the entire West Lake District, finally locating the Planning Bureau. At the same time, the young female zombie had been trying to find her. However, no one could find the invisible Lin Qiao currently.

Lin Qiao found lots of maps in the Planning Bureau, with which, she now had a much clearer understanding of Hangzhou City geographically. 

According to the marks on some maps, she found quite some storages. Rice, flour, oil, salt, and some other food supplies were well preserved. About thirty percent of them had gone bad, but the rest were still edible. 

Lin Qiao put a good amount of rice, salt, and some other food which were packed with vacuum into her space. 

Her mission was accomplished. She had checked the city and found some nice places. However, that young female zombie could still be a trouble. So, she decided to let Qiu Lili handle her. 

She found a drivable car from a car shop, then began driving back. Next day, she returned to the hotel in Linan City, where Lin Feng and his people were staying. 

At about five meters from the hotel, she found a great number of zombies crowding on the road. As she released her vibe, the zombies immediately moved away and made a path for her. However, they didn't seem to leave. 

After Lin Qiao passed, they jammed the road again, 

After driving through the zombie wall, Lin Qiao stuck her head out of the car window to look at those zombies. Then, she found that they were all facing the outside or walking around. 

She guessed that Qiu Lili might have given them some kind of order. 

Taking her head back, she continued driving toward the hotel. Soon, she parked by the hotel and saw the two children playing around. 

"Tongtong, this way, this way…Haha…Come and get me…" Lin Xiaolu's silvery voice was heard. The two children were chasing each other on the broad parking lot. 

"Em…em…Don't run…" Tong Tong shouted behind Lin Xiaolu. 

Cheng Wangxue and Junjun sat by a flower nursery nearby, watching the two kids while chatting. "You don't remember anything, so if you saw the man who abandoned you two one day, will you remember him?" Cheng Wangxue asked.
