Chapter 1378 - The Conversation at Home

Lin Qiao was going to send a message to Sea City Base, but she heard that Wu Chengyue was staying in her place, so she didn’t need to send someone to deliver the news to Sea City Base.

She sorted the materials that she would need for the meeting tomorrow and went home.

In the hallway, she found the door of her apartment open. The two kids were sticking their heads out, seemingly waiting for her to come home. Lin Qiao felt warm in the heart at the sight of them. “Have you two already sensed that I’m coming back?”

Wu Yueling was carrying Teng, leaning on the door frame and sticking her head out. Her long pigtails were hanging on the sides of her head. Seeing Lin Qiao and hearing her words, the little girl nodded with her eyes glowing.

“Mama!”

“Mama…”

The two kids called Lin Qiao together. Teng’s voice was loud and clear, while Wu Yueling’s voice sounded a little weak. Lin Qiao heard them both, feeling her heart melt. They were like pets that were eagerly waiting for their owners to come home. Those pets would always make passionate sounds to welcome their owners when they got home.

She walked to the door and bent over to lift Teng from Wu Yueling’s arms. Then, she held the little girl’s hand and walked into the apartment. In the meanwhile, she glanced at the girl with surprise.

The girl just called her Mama. Maybe Teng affected her, or maybe she truly thought of Lin Qiao as her mother, Ling Qiao could sense the pure but also complicated feeling the girl had when she called her Mama. It wasn’t like the real mother-daughter connection, but for sure, the girl was relying on her.

Lin Qiao walked into the apartment to find Wu Chengyue sitting on her couch, wearing pajamas as if he were having some leisure time at his own house while reading some files. Sensing Lin Qiao’s arrival, he raised his head to give her a smiling glance and then lowered his head to start reading again, “Teng told us that he sensed your scent a couple of hours ago. How come you came home so early?”

Lin Qiao put the kids on the couch and took off her coat before throwing it to the side. After that, she sat down on the armchair and said, “I’ve roughly figured out why those underground creatures came out from underground. But now, something else is bothering me. I need to find the answer… I made a trip to Huaxia Base before coming back here and collected some information. I’ll write you a proposal later, don’t forget to read it.”

The proposal that she was going to write down was the one which she had read in Si Kongchen’s office. Her brain worked fast currently and her memory was great. So, she could memorize pretty much everything that crossed her eyes and was able to write down the exact proposal which she had read.

On hearing her words, Wu Chengyue had a feeling that the proposal that she was talking about was not gonna be anything simple. He couldn’t help but raise his head and ask, “What did you find out?”

“Si Kongchen’s plan, of course,” said Lin Qiao, “You think I was just having a tour there?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wu Chengyue’s curiosity was instantly aroused. He slightly widened his eyes and asked, “Really? Did you get his entire plan figured out?”

He currently felt that the zombie lady was able to find out anything she wanted. After all, there was probably no one in the world who could break her invisibility yet.

Lin Qiao nodded with a bland face and said, “Yes, he has started making arrangements for the first step of the plan to bring Sea City Base down. It’ll be initiated in about ten days. Guess what he plans to do to you guys as the first step?”

Wu Chengyue narrowed his eyes and looked at her in the eyes with a smile as he said, “Si Kongchen never liked face-to-face battles. I guess it’s gonna be some kind of bioweapon again, right? Poison?”

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “You’re right. You know him quite well. But I think there’s one thing that you can’t guess out. He didn’t come up with the plan by himself. He had a partner. Well, that man is gone now though. He has already put a new type of virus that was developed from zombie blood into your base, which was his first step. I’ll give you a name list later. Those people are all from your base, and they have that new virus. Their mission is to spread the virus in your base in the most direct way to infect all residents in your base, as well as the army. Currently, the underground creatures out there are gathering together to upgrade. When they finish upgrading, they’ll start to attack human bases.”

Lin Qiao’s words successfully erased the smile on Wu Chengyue’s face and put an extra serious look on that pretty face of his. He didn’t interrupt her, as he knew that she had more to say.

“I guess Si Kongchen will send out his men in about two weeks to guide those underground creatures to Sea City Base in some way,” Lin Qiao continued with, “When you’re busy dealing with those underground creatures, his people will sneakily spread the virus in your base. In this way, your base will suffer heavy losses for sure.”

After saying that, she spread her hands and leaned on the back of the couch as she looked at Wu Chengyue’s face. The latter didn’t say anything but expressionlessly lowered his head to read the files in his hands. A few seconds later, he said, “Please write down his plan for me, thank you.”

“Okay, but let me take a shower first,” Lin Qiao nodded and then stood up, heading toward the bedroom.

…

The next morning, Lin Wenwen accepted the task of helping Yuan Tianxing read some files.

“What kind of files are those? Why does he need me to help him with the reading?” Lin Wenwen looked at Long Qingying and asked with curiosity.

Long Qingying responded to her expressionlessly, “Chief destroyed a secret weapon lab belonging to Huaxia Base yesterday and harvested some research materials. There are quite a lot of them, so Deputy Chief Yuan needs someone to help him with the sorting and reading.”

“How many exactly?” Lin Wenwen asked.

“Thousands?” Long Qingying looked at her and said uncertainly.

On hearing that, Lin Wenwen fell into silence.

Did her sister empty their database? Maybe not. After all, there should be more than just thousands of books of files to make a whole database.

“Chief has let Deputy Chief Yuan and Deputy Chief Xie from Base Number Two sort those materials out yesterday on her way back. They managed to classify them but didn’t have the time to read the contents carefully yet.”

They weren’t scientists, so they wouldn’t understand everything in those files even if they read carefully. Therefore, they classified the files according to the catalogs first for the others to read more conveniently.

Speaking of research materials, it crossed Lin Wenwen’s mind that All Being Base was indeed in short of scientific talent.

“We don’t have weapon experts in our base. Leng Xuantong and Yan Huiguang are majoring in biology and medical science, so I guess no one can understand those research materials about weapon science. Our base is really in lack of weapon specialists.”
