"Why are you afraid? If he dares to show up, I'll make him die in this place." A silvery voice was heard suddenly. The people turned around and saw two little girls walking downstairs; one of them was pretty, and the other ugly.
Qiu Lili swayed her long, black, and shiny twin tails. Following behind her was a scale-faced girl, and behind her was Liu Jun, with Tongtong carried in her arms.
All the others found a strong contrast between Qiu Lili and the scale-faced girl zombie.
Liu Jun looked at Lin Wenwen's short hair and asked curiously, "Eh? Wenwen, what happened to your hair?"
"Ah, nothing! I cut them myself." Lin Wenwen smiled at her.
Liu Jun spent a few seconds staring at her hair, then couldn't help but say, "What a pity! Your long hair were stunning."
Lin Wenwen only smiled, but didn't say anything.
"Your hair need some extra work," Liu Jun continued, "Do you need my help?"
Lin Wenwen's eyes glowed. "Can you do that?" she asked.
Liu Jun smiled and nodded, saying, "I used to be a stylist. After the apocalypse, people don't care about style anymore, so I lost my job."
Cheng Wangxue looked at her with surprise and said knowingly, "I see! No wonder I found your hairstyle always perfect for you, even when you made nothing more than a casual ponytail."
Liu Jun gave a faint smile and said, "I haven't practiced for years, but I think I'm still able to fix Wenwen's hair."
"I think you decided to help her because you can't bear watching her hair. Her hair have been bothering me for a long time too!" Long Qingying abruptly joined the conversation.
Lin Wenwen gave her a threatening glance and said, "Didn't you help cut my hair? How can you say that?"
Long Qingying shrugged as she responded expressionlessly, "I don't know how to cut hair, but you made me do it. Is that my fault?"
Lin Wenwen didn't know what else to say.
"When will… Miss. Lu come back?" asked Chen Yuting uneasily.
Yuan Tianxing looked at him and answered, "We're not sure about her plan. But, she'll definitely come back sometime."
Qiu Lili stood beside them as she crossed her arms and said, "I think Qiaoqiao is going to upgrade Viney. Maybe she'll be back in a few days. Since you've all arrived, we can officially start the construction work tomorrow, right?"
Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing both nodded. "Tomorrow morning, we'll have a meeting in this place to talk about where to start from," said Yuan Tianxing, and the others nodded. The ladies didn't say anything, as there would be no work for them to do tomorrow.
"Alright, I think dinner is almost ready. Let's head to the restaurant." Lin Feng patted his own knees and stood up. While speaking, he walked to Mrs. Lin and picked up Lin Xiaolu's hand before heading toward the restaurant.
The others all stood up and followed him to the restaurant.
…
In the Sea City Base, Wu Chengyue hadn't seen Meng Yue for an entire day. He didn't know if she was in her room or had gone out. Perhaps, she was just avoiding him intentionally.
Wu Chengyue understood how she had been feeling now. It was inappropriate for him to talk too much to her about her feelings, so he didn't pay much attention to that, but finished breakfast and left home with Wu Yueling to work.
At noon, Xiao Licheng returned to the office and reported to him with a pretty weird expression, "Chief, the information about Miss. Lu has been concealed. I couldn't find anything about her."
Wu Chengyue was puzzled at first, then put down the files in his hands and raised his head to look at Xiao Licheng as he asked him, "Concealed? By whom?"
Xiao Licheng shook his head and responded, "I'm not sure. I've talked to those Hades Base people, but they refuse to tell me anything. I think they're hiding Miss. Lu's true identity on purpose. Chief, why do you suddenly want to dig out her background?"
Wu Chengyue slightly dropped his eyelids while thinking and murmuring, "Why are Yuan Tianxing and his people hiding the information about her?"
Xiao Licheng shook his head and said, "That… I don't know. Should I keep digging?"
Wu Chengyue smiled and said, "Sure, why not? The harder they're trying to conceal it, the more we want to know. That's how things become interesting!"
Xiao Licheng nodded and said, "Okay. I'll try to find a way to make them talk."
"Go ahead," said Wu Chengyue, "Also, tell Li Yueshan to keep an eye on their new base secretly, and the residential area that Yuan Tianxing stayed at earlier. If you found any trace of Miss. Lu, let me know as soon as possible."
Xiao Licheng looked at him confusedly and asked, "Chief, does Miss. Lu have a problem? Why do you want Yueshan to watch those people?"
Wu Chengyue gave him a mysterious smile while responding, "You'll know why as soon as I have finished my recent works in the base. Another thing, don't let Meng Yue find out that I've told you to do background-digging about Miss. Lu."
"Yes, sir!"
Xiao Licheng stood before Wu Chengyue's desk, feeling terribly puzzled. However, as Wu Chengyue didn't seem to tell him anything, he had no choice but to start doing his job with curiosity.
After Xiao Licheng left, Wu Chengyue began wondering why Yuan Tianxing and his people were concealing the information about that female zombie.
Her last name was Lu. Who could she be before death? And, why did her face look so familiar?
He was also surprised that she had actually been repaired into a virgin after becoming a zombie!
Thinking of that, Wu Chengyue had a strange feeling.
Even the smile in his eyes grew more obvious along with the strange feeling he had. He didn't notice that though.
She came here with Yuan Tianxing and his people, so she should be a member of the old Hades Base. Wu Chengyue just didn't understand why her identity was a secret, and why they even concealed all the information about her.
How could he not do the background-digging? He was going to marry that female zombie, so he had to know everything about her!
He also wondered if that vine plant's words about it becoming a little baby were real. If that were real, how was it going to do that? Did it really make that female zombie pregnant during their sexual intercourse?
He felt so unbelievable about that! If that were real, that vine plant would become the soul of that little baby, wouldn't it?
So… Did that vine create a flesh body for itself with his sperm and her egg?
Wu Chengyue lowered his head and looked at his own lower belly with a complicated expression. Was he entrapped by a highly intelligent mutant plant? Did that plant borrow a sperm from him and make himself a baby?
Wu Chengyue wore a stunned look as he suddenly figured that out. He popped his eyes in shock while staring straight at his lower belly and feeling astonished.
Damn! Did that plant become some kind of spirit after the apocalypse? Where was it from? It actually schemed against his children!
Damn! What a world! Last time, he was raped by an evil woman… and this time, he was entrapped by a plant!
'Good for you, little Viney! You entrapped your Daddy before you're even born! Wait until you're born and see how I'll punish you!'
'However, now I need to work it out with your mother first…'
