305 What Kind of Person

There was a rough shed outside the greenhouse to shade people from the sunlight, and for them to rest underneath during breaks. At this moment, Wu Chengyue and the others were standing in the shed, looking around at the crops in the surroundings.

At that moment, Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming came out of the greenhouse and walked toward them.

"Chief Wu, is there an emergency, considering you came all the way here to find me?" Lu Tianyi greeted Wu Chengyue and said. Actually, Special Region A was pretty far from Special Region C. It would take about half an hour to travel between these two regions on foot, and it was noontime now, with scorching sunlight hammering down on all existences.

Wu Chengyue turned to look at him, then looked around again. Seeing no other people nearby, he asked, "Can you please tell me how much you know about the woman named Lin you met in Hangzhou?"

Lu Tianyi looked at him with surprise, asking, "Eh? Why are you suddenly asking about her?" While saying that, he wondered if Chief Wu had already found out that woman was no one else but Lu Tianyu, and that if he was collecting information about her so he could go after her later.

With these thoughts, Lu Tianyi's heart sank slightly. However, his face showed no change of expression.

At that moment, Wu Chengyue took out a piece of paper and handed to Lu Tianyi while speaking, "I want you to confirm if this is her handwriting."

Lu Tianyi took over the note curiously and read it, but the handwriting on it was strange to him.

He was surely able to recognize Lu Tianyu's handwriting. That wasn't as sharp as the handwriting on the paper. This note was clearly written by someone else.

"Who wrote this?" Lu Tianyi asked with confusion, "And, what does this mean? Was Ling Ling taken away again?"

No one should blame him for using the word 'again'. After all, the whole base knew that Ling Ling was often taken away by bad people. But, she miraculously made it back every time, and was perfectly unharmed.

Wu Chengyue's face darkened slightly as he said, "She left this note. I want to know what's your relationship with her, and how much you know about her… Also, what kind of person she is."

'She is not a person!'

Lu Tianyi said that in his head while smiling and responding to Wu Chengyue, "Are you sure this is from her? And, please tell me where Ling Ling was taken away from?"

Wu Chengyue said, "She has a space, and is traceless. Except for the woman that I met last time, no one else can take Ling Ling away under my watch!"

That woman had silently stolen her zombie nucleus. Judging by that, he could tell that she took Ling Ling away in the same way this time.

On his way here, Wu Chengyue had been calmly thinking about what had happened. The more he thought about the space-powered woman that he met in Hangzhou, the deeper he believed that it was she who took his daughter away.

If he were right, she wouldn't harm Ling Ling this time, as she had already saved her once. However, he couldn't figure out why she stole Ling Ling from his place just like that.

What a weird woman!

'Damn! If you want to save my daughter, can't you first tell me frankly about it? Why did you steal her? Are you trying to scare me to death?' he thought.

After thinking through, Wu Chengyue stopped worrying. As long as she didn't work for Yang Chao, Ling Ling should be safe.

So, he now wanted to make another thing clear.

Lu Tianyi thought for a moment, then felt that Wu Chengyue's words made sense. Abruptly, he murmured to himself, "So… is she back in the base?"

Wu Chengyue and the other looked at him, as they didn't know what he meant.

"You know her superpower, and you should also know why she took Ling Ling away. I want to say that no doctor or healing-powered people can help Ling Ling's current condition. Does that woman named Lin know how to help her?" asked Wu Chengyue.

Lu Tianyi raised his head to look at him, recalling Lin Qiao's space and the lake.

"She has a… magical lake! Eh, in fact, I can't tell how exactly she's going to help Ling Ling. I'm not clear about Ling Ling's condition either. So, I can't tell for sure," Lu Tianyi pointed at the note, then continued, "She seems to be quite clear about what Ling Ling is going through. Even you can't do anything about that?"

Wu Chengyue looked around. After confirming that no suspicious people existed in the surrounding, he said, "After we returned to the base, Ling Ling's power suddenly began awakening. We got a special kind of water from someone else, which suppressed the energy inside her body. However, it has been a few days, and Ling Ling's condition hasn't been getting any better. But thankfully, it was not getting worse either."

Hearing his words, both Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming popped their eyes in shock. "What? Her power is awakening!" They exclaimed with disbelief, then glanced at each other to make sure that they hadn't misheard. After that, Lu Tianyi asked, "How can that be possible? She's so young! Why is her power awakening?"

Wu Chengyue sighed and replied, "I want to know that too. But, that woman named Lin took Ling Ling away. Where can we find her now?"

Lu Tianyi looked at him and said, "Ah… Chief, if you ask me that… To be honest, I don't know. In fact, she told me earlier that she won't come back to Sea City base, so I don't know why she suddenly appeared here. Perhaps, we can only find out when she shows up in person."

While speaking, he silently sighed in relief, as Wu Chengyue didn't seem to have figured out that woman's true identity.

Hearing Lu Tianyi's words, Wu Chengyue's heart sank. However, his handsome face showed no expression.

Right at that moment, Xiao Licheng ran over.

"Chief, we got something!"

The others immediately turned to him. He glanced at Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming, then hesitated for a while.

"It's alright, just tell me," said Wu Chengyue.

Hearing him, Xiao Licheng took out a piece of paper, which had a name list on it.

"A group of people came back this morning," he said, "It's Chen Yuting and his people from the Feng Ting Squad. However, the other squad leader of theirs, Lu Changfeng, and his younger sister, Lu Ting, as well as two other squad members are missing. Another group of people came with them. The leader of those people is named Lin Feng. They're here to find Deputy Chief Yuan."

Wu Chengyue and Meng Yue both looked at him with surprise. "What did you say? Lin Feng? Are they from the old Hades Base too?" Wu Chengyue asked.

Lu Tianyi didn't know about Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng. So, he glanced at Kong Qingming confusedly. Unlike him, Kong Qingming knew a little about Yuan Tianxing and the Hades Base.

"Eh?" he said, "Are you talking about Yuan Tianxing who has released a task in the Mission Hall, which is about building a new base in the center of Hangzhou? I heard that he's making great offers. However, he needs people to work for him in the center of a zombie city. Many people went to ask about that job, but most of them came back."

From Kong Qingming's words, Lu Tianyi learned about what Yuan Tianxing was doing here. However, he couldn't understand what his sister had to do with the people from the old Hades Base.
