Teng turned around and sat on the couch, then leaned against the back while crossing his little legs. He then folded his little arms and looked at Lin Qiao while thinking.

“What?” Lin Qiao looked at him and raised her eyebrows, “Is there anything that you aren’t happy about?”

Teng turned his face away, showing her his hairless head as he spoke, “I’m not going to be like a normal baby! The other one-month-old babies don’t know anything. I know everything! Why should I play dumb? I can play dumb out there, but how can you ask me to do that at home too? Am I not tired?”

“So tell me, if you really know everything, why did you crawl under the bed?” said Lin Qiao, “If you were able to make a way out yourself, it would be fine. But, why were you stuck under the bed? Why did you have to ask us to rescue you?”

Hearing that, the other three kids immediately turned to look at Teng with agreement in their eyes.

They were distracted for only a few seconds, and the little guy disappeared right before their eyes! They looked everywhere but didn’t find him. At last, he screamed out loud for help from under the bed in the guest room.

“That’s because… because I heard some noises from under that bed! I was only trying to find out what was making that noise…” Teng explained.

“Haha…” Hearing the boy’s diffident voice, Lin Xiaolu couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hands and burst in laughter.

At that time, Wu Chengyue brought a large bowl of soup out of the kitchen and placed it on the dining table. Five or six dishes were already served on the table. “You all, come here and wash your hands. The meal is ready!”

Wu Yueling was the first to slip off the couch and run toward the dining room, with Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong following behind her. Within a blink, the three kids were already around the dining table.

“Oi, oi! Who’s gonna carry me to the table!” Seeing all of his little friends run away, Teng instantly popped her eyes and yelled anxiously. He then glanced at Lin Qiao, who was sitting by his side, looking at him with cold eyes. Silently, the boy turned his eyes away from his mother and gave up on asking her for help.

People said that women would become gentle and caring after having babies. Why on earth did his mother not change at all? Would any other mother say mean words to her one-month-old son every day like her?

“Isn’t Aunty there?” Lin Xiaolu turned and said to him with a grin, “Aunty will carry you here.”

Wu Yueling turned and glanced at her little brother who was sitting on the couch all alone, then at Lin Qiao, who was sitting near the boy. At last, she turned to Wu Chengyue, who was coming out of the kitchen while untying his apron.

As the kids looking at each other, Lin Qiao finally stood up and moved toward Teng.

Seeing his mother coming at him, Teng immediately sat tight, waiting to be held in her arms. Lin Qiao bent over and picked him up, then walked toward the dining room.

Wu Chengyue boiled milk and pork ribs together for hours to feed Teng. Teng had no teeth yet, and his digestion system was still weak. Therefore, he could only eat liquid food at the moment.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He was growing rapidly though, and was a strong baby now. He was fed with nourishing food, along with Lin Qiao’s lake water. He was actually a chubby little boy now.

He was also a beautiful baby. His eyes were big and bright, looking a little like Wu Chengyue’s smiling eyes. He had a straight nose, and Lu Tianyu’s lips and chin. His head and face were both round, and his little limbs were super adorable.

Xiao Yunlong spent the whole morning holding him and playing with him. Wu Chengyue had to ask him to leave repeatedly.

Wu Yueling brought the vegetables that had been washed by Wu Chengyue out of the kitchen and put them in the rabbit’s plate, then washed her own hands and sat on her own chair. Ever since Teng came to the world, the big fat rabbit was in disfavor. Thankfully, Wu Yueling never forgot to feed her rabbit friend.

After lunch, Wu Chengyue spent a while strolling in the living room, holding Teng and patting him on the back. Soon, the baby fell asleep, after which, he brought Teng and the other kids upstairs to put them to bed for a nap.

Lin Qiao sat in the living room, watching them go upstairs. Then, she walked to the door and looked at the people in the yard.

“Get in.”

Duan Juan, Shen Yujen, and Xiao Licheng glanced at each other, then walked into the house.

Lin Qiao pointed at the stairs with her chin, then looked at Xiao Licheng and said, “He’s upstairs. Go and wait for him in his study room.”

Xiao Licheng nodded, then quickly went upstairs. After that, Duan Juan started talking, “Lili and Lin Kui left the base together to look for Wenwen and the others. If they can find them, they’ll be back in two days.”

“Why did Lili go with him?” Lin Qiao said with surprise, “She hates long trips, doesn’t she?”

“I don’t know,” Duan Juan shook her head and said, “But, she’s the fastest one among us. I think it’ll be easier for Lin Kui to find Wenwen and the others with her help.”

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Yun Meng needs to take a bath for seven days in a row for her leg to recover, and Xia Ri needs to bathe for at least a month. He is miserable. He looks even worse than me back when I first woke up as a zombie. At least my limbs weren’t broken…”

Thinking about Xia Ri’s injury, Lin Qiao gave a sigh.

“Is there anything else that I need to know?”

“Yes,” Shen Yujen joined the conversation as she handed Lin Qiao a file and said, “This is the news from Sky Fire Base I got just now.”

Lin Qiao took it over and spent a short while reading it, then slightly narrowed her eyes. After reading the news, she wore a grim look and said, “Haven’t you found out about the man’s identity yet?”

Shen Yujen shook her head and said, “We couldn’t. That guy is very mysterious. No one but Li Zhengye himself has been making contact with him.”

Holding the file, Lin Qiao knitted his eyebrows and said, “What did he tell Li Zhengye?”

“We don’t know yet,” said Shen Yujen, “But, I suppose it’s about the few zombies that he was with.”

Lin Qiao thought for a moment and said, “You said that he came from Northwest and threw the message to Li Zhengye, then returned to the Northwest in a haste, right? Is there anything in the Northwest that is important to him?”

The information contained in that message must be important. Perhaps, the man didn’t trust anything else with it, so he made a trip back to the base himself to deliver the message to Li Zhengye, and then left quickly again.

He came back to the base in the middle of the night and left in less than one hour after arriving. He seemed to be in a hurry. There should be something in the Northwest that had been concerning him

And…

Lin Qiao lowered her head to read the last part of the file—’The man is with six level-three zombies who have a weird vibe, seemingly under control, with no obvious zombie features and preliminarily judged as abnormal zombies.’

That man was actually able to control six level-three zombies who weren’t normal. The message that he delivered to Li Zhengye might have something to do with those strange zombies. What was he planning on?
