Chapter 379 - Start Background-digging

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the apocalypse, Wu Chengyue raised Ling Ling in the drastically changed world. Some people followed him, and they build a base together. Only after that did they finally have a home.

After becoming Ling Ling’s daddy, he devoted his off-work time to try and be a good father. At work, he was all about how to be a good leader and how to run the base, providing a safe and comfortable place to live for all the survivors.

In the zombie-free base, people had food, clean water, and places to live. All these needed him and the other two leaders to spend efforts on.

As more and more people joined his base, more problems occurred, and he became busier and busier. So, he had no spare time and energy to think about starting a relationship.

It was already a little late when he discovered what Meng Yue had toward him. She was a girl, and a friend who had been staying around him the whole time. So, he surely could not send her away. With no other choice, he had been intentionally keeping a distance from her, hoping that she would give up.

But later on, he found that she was a persistent woman!

He planned to distance himself from her gradually, and also had created plenty of opportunities for Xiao Yunlong, as he wished the latter could earn her favor as soon as possible. However, his plan didn’t work.

In that aspect, Xiao Yunlong wasn’t a capable teammate!

If that female zombi’s pet vine didn’t entrap both of them, he wouldn’t make it clear to Meng Yue so straightforwardly. After all, he understood how awfully his words would hurt Meng Yue.

However, he had decided to be with that female zombie. To avoid misunderstanding and troubles, he had to make himself clear to Meng Yue. Otherwise, the stubborn Meng Yue might do something irrational after she found out about him and the female zombie. He just couldn’t tell how she would react.

After hearing what he said, Wu Yueling confusedly glanced at the stairs, then turned back to gaze at her father with a pair of sparkling eyes which were filled with puzzles.

“Ling Ling, you sit here. Daddy will make dinner. Is that okay? Are you hungry?”

Wu Yueling nodded, then quietly sat on the couch.

Wu Chengyue stood up and walked toward the kitchen, thinking that there was no other choice than leaving Meng Yue alone for a while. Maybe she would think it through.

Also, he decided to send out some people to do some detailed background checking about that female zombie. He didn’t even know her full name yet. People called her Miss. Lu now, and last time, she introduced herself as Lin. What Lin?

And her face… For some reasons, the more he thought about her face, the more familiar he felt. He believed that he had seen her somewhere before, but just couldn’t remember where.

There was one other problem… That female zombie seemed not yet to know that he was the one who had eaten her yesterday. He wondered how she would react when she found out.

With those thoughts, Wu Chengyue suddenly felt better. The depression caused by Meng Yue earlier on was now eased, and that made him feel relieved.

While he was making food, Yuan Tianxing and the others had started dinner. In the space, Lin Qiao was unconscious, wrapped in the enormous vine sphere. No one knew that the gigantic vine sphere had been disappearing bit by bit.

That was right, it was disappearing!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Meanwhile, a stream of vibe had been slowly seeping into Lin Qiao’s uterus.

That was Viney’s vibe.

Except for what was happening in the water, nothing in the space changed.

…

That night, Wu Chengyue called Xiao Licheng to his study room and gave him a mission. The mission was to dig out the female zombie’s background in detail.

Xiao Licheng accepted the mission and then left with confusion. He didn’t understand why his Chief had sent him to do background digging about that female zombie.

Once Xiao Licheng accepted the mission, Kong Qingming received a message about that. Next day, at noontime, he went to Lu Tianyi’s office.

“Chief Wu hasn’t found out that your zombie sister is the one who raped him, has he?” he said to Lu Tianyi once he walked in. The latter was reading the reports about the monthly harvests of the crops. Hearing Kong Qingming’s words, he raised his head and asked with confusion, “Who are you talking about?”

Kong Qingming walked to the couch and took a seat, then crossed his arms before his chest and explained lazily, “Miss. Lu… Chief Wu has sent his people to dig her background. So, I’m thinking maybe he is suspecting her. Otherwise, why didn’t he do the background-digging earlier? Why did he suddenly order his people to do it now?”

Lu Tianyi wore a serious look as well. If Kong Qingming was right, he would have to prevent Chief Wu from knowing the truth!

Kong Qingming seemed to understand his concern. “Don’t worry, I have secretly hidden the information,” he said blandly, “I also discovered that those Hades Base people have also been concealing that thing. Therefore, I guess Chief Wu won’t be able to find out about Miss. Lu’s true identity so soon.”

Lu Tianyi sighed in relief and slightly relaxed his tightened handsome face. “Thank you!”

Kong Qingming glanced at him and said, “Why thank me? Miss. Lu saved our lives. We all owe her. It’s just… Why is she so different from before after she became a zombie?”

Lu Tianyi leaned against the back of the chair as he rubbed his chin and said, “Maybe she was stimulated too badly when she died, so after turning into a zombie, she decided to amend his way and um… live a new life?”

Kong Qingming found his words amusing. “She’s your sister, so you know her better than anyone else. Do you think that’s possible?” he asked, “If she wanted to amend her ways, she would have done it long ago.”

Lu Tianyi looked at him with discontentment and said, “Why not? People always regret or wake up in the most difficult time of their lives. Why can’t I believe that she has woken up?”

Kong Qingming looked at him helplessly. “Alright, alright, I knew you’d think that way. Perhaps you’re right. Judging by Miss. Lu’s current behavior, she has probably woken up as you said. But, why do I feel that you like your sister more and more?”

Lu Tianyi crossed his arms before his chest and said, “I’ve been protecting her forever. Have you just realized that?”

Kong Qingming didn’t know what to say. He felt that if they kept talking about his sister, the conversation would never end. However, Lu Tianyi soon asked him a question that made the latter unable to sit still, “The other night, you were knocking on Lin Wenwen’s door, but why did you suddenly drag me over? You acted weird that time, why?”
